    Not for one game, no, but I got a Gamecube so I could play Fire Emblem and Tales of Symphonia. I had no intent to get any other games.

    I got my Vita for Persona 4 Golden. I got my Wii U for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (I asked for it for Christmas when the Wind Waker HD Bundle was available, but that game is the real reason I wanted it).

    Play Metroid Prime. The best First Person Shooter ever made.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I guess I got a Wii solely because I knew Xenoblade Chronicles was coming out here finally

    SNES: Street Fighter II ~ with a good controller yay!
    PS1: FFVII ~ disappointed but FFTactics and Xenogears made me happy I bought it.
    PS2: MGS2 and FFX ~ Took much longer to redeem this console for me.
    PS3: MGS4 and FFXIII ~ Still kind of regret buying this console
    Wii: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ~ fantastic first game, wish it had a better library.
    PSP: Dissidia ~ Good system but my DS still owns my soul.
    3DS: Shin Megami Tensei IV ~ Didn't disappoint.

    PS2: Metal Gear Solid 2
    N64: Pokemon Stadium
    360: Dead Rising

    I should've got more games for the N64 - never played any Zelda or Mario! - but beyond that I think it's worked out brilliantly all round.

    I always buy a console for a particular game or games. There's no reason to buy it until games you like are out for it. Usually it's more than one game though. For me it was:

    Playstation 2 - Final Fantasy X, all the old PS1 games since I never had PS1
    Wii - Twilight Princess, all the old Gamecube games since I never had a Gamecube
    Playstation 3 - Final Fantasy XIII, MGS4
    DS - don't remember, I played so many great DS games
    3DS - Kingdom Hearts 3D

    Hey my list is pretty similar to WK's!

    This is exactly how/why I purchased consoles as a child (or asked for them).

    SNES for Donkey Kong Country
    PS1 for Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
    N64 for Pokemon Snap
    PS2 for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4

    I got the Nintendo DS to play Phoenix Wright.

    Worth it.
