Only counting the consoles you've played/owned, what do you consider to be the best game for it? For predominate PC gamers, try to stick within technology eras as best as you can.

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
This will be hard to do! There might be games I would find better than what’s on this list, but I either haven’t played them or they just aren’t games I constantly come back to time and again. I’m basically going with the games I just never grow tired of.
NES: Mario 3
Turbografx-16: Aero Blasters I guess?
SNES: Mario World
Genesis: Sonic 2
Saturn: NiGHTS into dreams
Dreamcast: Grandia II
Ps1: Metal Gear Solid and Symphony of the Night are tied
N64: Mario 64
Ps2: Kingdom Hearts
Gamecube: Soul Calibur 2
Xbox: Halo 2
Wii: Xenoblade Chronicles
PS3: Journey
Xbox 360: Skate 3 (I think that’s the one)
Wii U: Mario Kart 8
PS4: Persona 5
Xbox One: Sunset Overdrive, I guess
Switch: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 2 are tied at the moment for different reasons
Game boy: Pokemon Red
Game boy Color: Pokemon Crystal
Game Gear: Sonic
GBA: Kingdom Hearts Re:CoM
Psp: Peace Walker
Vita: Persona 4 Golden
DS: The World Ends With You
3ds: Theatrhythm curtain call
I’m blanking on if there are any systems I’m missing that I’ve played. I’m sure some I’ll think of different games for a few of these systems once I post this too.
For me?
Atari 2600 (I got lucky): Q-Bert
Sega Genesis: Phantasy Star 4 (i got lucky again!)
GameBoy Color: LoZ: Link'S Awakening

Xbox 360: Lost Odyssey

Str8 Pimpin'
I'd have to give this a lot of thought if I were to pick out what I considered the actual best games, since there are a lot of factors that would have to go into a list like that, so I'll just take the easy way out and put my favorites instead. Or, at least, the ones that come into my head.

PS2 - Ar Tonelico
PSP - Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
PS3 - Mass Effect 2 (Probably, anyway; I don't have particularly strong feelings for anything on the console)
Atari 2600 - Warlords

I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. Also, while I have played on Microsoft's consoles, most of it was getting stuck playing Halo with friends and it's the only series I've played, so I don't really have enough knowledge of the systems to pick a game I like.
