Wii : Wii Play. If you are an old school gamer, then this game is for you. Nintendo does such a nice job on creating a certain atmosphere for these simple games, the music, sound effects, graphics, and control just mesh so well, it is really impressive. A very creative and unique game, and I LOVE it. Even more fun with another person and better still with a crowd.

Yeah, but I think it's better to try to pick exclusives. Mainly I just wanted to show some love for Excite Truck.

Atari 2600: Kangaroo (I wore the B&W TV down after a 15-hour marathon trying to reach the top of the third stage; melted the cables inside the TV cabinet).

 

NES: Super Mario Bros.

 

TurboGrafx 16: Blazing Lasers.

 

Atary Lynx: S.T.U.N. Runner.

 

GameBoy: Tetris.

 

SNES: Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2.

 

Genesis: Contra: Hard Cops.

 

TurboDuo CD: Dracula X.

 

3DO: Road Rash.

 

PlayStation: Resident Evil 2.

 

Sega Saturn: NiGHTS... Intro Dreams (with Sonic R a very close second).

 

Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64 (lame selection but back in the day no other 3D game could touch the magic this Miyamot-designed masterpiece still has).  Honorable mentions to Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye 007 for the obscene hours of multiplayer spent playing with friends.

 

Virtual Boy: Wario Land.

 

GameBoy Color: Pokemon Puzzle League (same as Tetris Attack for the B&W GameBoy but with a Pokemon license attached).

 

NeoGeo Pocket Color: Capcom vs. SNK: Match of the Millennium.

 

Dreamcast: Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

 

PlayStation 2: Hot Shots Golf Fore!

 

XBox: Halo (stayed up late playing more than any other game, to the point me and friends had to coordinate vacations so we could stop showing up late and dead tired at work the following day).

 

Gamecube: Resident Evil 4.

 

GameBoy Advance: Moto Racer Advance (best portable racing game nobody has ever seen or played, but I have! ).

 

N-Gage: Colin McRae Rally 2005 (honorable mention to Tomb Raider, an oldie but still an excellent goodie in portable form).

 

Nintendo DS: Ridge Racer 64.

 

Sony PSP: Hot Shots Golf! Open Tee.

 

XBox 360: Call of Duty 2.

 

Don't have a Wii or PS3 yet.  I also want to say that coming up with just one game for each system is freaking hard.  I had five games for each system that could have been my choice, and only by some personal bias did I come to name one over the others.  What I'm trying to say is... NOT FAIR!!!

I thought I was the only person that liked Sonic R. I certainly didn't like it more than Nights, but I thought it was pretty underrated. If it had 2-4 times as many tracks I think people would like it more.

It's a personal thing: I LOVE SONIC R's MUSIC!  The control bites, the tracks are too few and easily memorable and the whole thing reeks of a 'Mario Kart' ripoff.  But I would play the game over and over again (even going as far as using weak/slow characters like Amy's car or Robotnik's floating thingie) just so I could hear more of the songs playing in the background, which were always cut short because completing the three-track race took less than half the length of the songs.  I think this was the only racing game that I always watched replays of just to hear the instrumental versions of the BGM. The song on the second track was my favorite ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s3dP8GUFSw[/url]... the first comment on the video is actually from me!) and thus I played this track more than all the other four combined.  Heck, the first paragraph  Yes, I'm weirder than you if that's possible!
