I can't pick MK8 if the definitive version is going to be on the Switch. and I'm assuming the same is going to be true for Smash 4 also

Um...I'll try pick ones that I both have and haven't played based on reviews/sales etc.

Uncharted 4
Rocket League
Bloodborne
Horizon
The Order - I put this in as a definitive PS4 title for 2 reasons. Firstly, as one of the first true next gen looking games and still to this day, up there as one of the best of the gen, but also because I feel this game defined the early PS4 exclusive lineup until Bloodborne came along. Disappointing games that focused on style with little substance. The Order encapsulated what PS4 exclusives mostly were in the earlier days perfectly in one package.

I don't have a VITA, and we'll, technically Txou is my...well I don't know if it's cheating but I thought of the letter T first.

1) Super Metroid
2) Super Mario World
3) A Link to the Past
4) Chrono Trigger
5) Donkey Kong Country

5. Earthbound
4. Kirby Superstar
3. Chrono Trigger
2. Super Mario World
1. Donkey Kong Country 2
 
Z- Personal Computer
Talk about a wealth of options. No particular order, mostly referring to series, though parenthesis denotes a specific game I wanted to highlight.

1. Quake
2. Wing Commander (Privateer)
3. Warcraft (2)
4. Ultima (IV: Quest of the Avatar)
5. SimCity (2000)
 
No TurboGrafx/PC Engine representation on the list? :(

I'll do it just because.

1) Castlevania: Chi no Rondo
2) Bomberman '93 and '94
3) Bonk 3
4) Devil's Crush
5) Aero Blasters (I like it better than Star Soldier)


But to actually play the game for real:
W = Game Boy (Color)

1) Link's Awakening
2) Oracle of Seasons/Ages
3) Pokemon Gen 1 and Gen 2
4) Metroid II
5: Donkey Kong (1994)

Honorable Mention: Game Boy Camera, the secret best Game Boy game.

I was never a Mario/Wario Land fan.

Nintendo Switch. Hard to say without too much to go on, but I'll give it a shot.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Easy, given its status as the most prominent launch title by heads and shoulders over the others. This will depend on how the Switch sells I suppose, but I could see its reputation becoming similar to that of Twilight Princess which seems to be seen as a Wii game before a GameCube one.

2. Super Mario Odyssey - 3D Mario in all of its forms is one of the biggest drivers for Nintendo's hardware business, and Odyssey looks to be taking the series in wildly new directions while tracing its steps back to Mario 64.

3. 1, 2, Switch! - Nintendo's attempt to do what worked for Wii Sports and what didn't work for NintendoLand, launch with a smaller, quirkier game to sell people on the concept of the system itself. Whether it will be successful remains to be seen - my impression is most gamers don't care to have anything to do with it, but I could easily be wrong.

4. Splatoon 2 - Nintendo surprised us a little by announcing the next Splatoon title as a full-blown sequel rather than an updated port, but realistically it probably falls somewhere inbetween. If anything it says more of Splatoon's breakout success, surprising many and responsible for much urine drinking around here. Nintendo's message is perfectly clear, not only is Splatoon here to stay but we'll try our damndest to get it out as close to launch as possible. Xenoblade 2 or Fire Emblem Warriors could serve as other examples of this, but I think it's important to touch on another thing.

5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Many gamers have made it known their concerns that much of Switch's early lineup would consist solely of old Wii U games repackaged for a new audience that likely skipped the fledgling console. While Nintendo's announced several original games, something like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might prove the skeptics' point. Outside of a far more robust Battle Mode, MK8DX doesn't offer much new over the Wii U version, which in fairness was a pretty fantastic game to begin with. Still, for Nintendo loyalists craving something new, it's understandably deflating.

Obviously given that the system isn't out yet, it's a reasonable assumption that in a few years' time it'll come to be defined by completely different games. Once again, hard to say.

PC, then.

1. Age of Mythology
2. Medieval II Total War
3. Rome Total War
4. Age of Empires
5. The Witcher 1

Now that I think about it, my pc gaming time has basically been spent on these games and also Dragon age Origins and TES IV & V, hardly anything else.
 
Well, I've played all of 5 minutes on a PSP, some random fighting game back in 2007. IIRC, there was a PSP collection containing Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night. So I'll go with that as I've played those 2 on other systems and they're among my favorites.
