fanboygirl-GAF: Have you ever bought a console for one specific game?

I bought a PS2 just for GTA3, and was VERY dissapointed with it. I did not mind though since it became my favorite system of all time thanks to all of its amazing RPG's.
 
Nes- Mario bros
N64- Mario 64
Gamecube- Smash Bros Melee
Wii- Zelda TP
Ps2- Klonoa2/Okami (tie)
Genesis- Sonic the hedgehog 2
 
Bally Astrocade - Wizard of Wor
Intellivision - Microsurgeon
Lynx - Xybots
Gamecube - Super Monkey Ball

Not really a console, but I bought an Atari 800 to play Demon Attack because it doesn't work on a 1200XL

Would have bought an Xbox for Outrun 2 if I could have found a new one for ~$100
Will buy a PS3 soon to play HSG 5 & 6
 
Yep,

Bought a master system for sonic
Bought an N64 for Goldeneye
Bought a PS2 for GT3 then for some stupid reason sold it and had to buy another one when GT4 came out.
Bought a 360 for GTR but it got axed / delayed / forgotten about. Still use it though lol.
Bought a PS3 for GT5 / GT5P
 
PSX ridge racer, warhawk, and twisted kept me purchasing this system multiple times, only to sell it yep I sold my psx was a huge pc nut at the time

DC Soul Calibur

Genesis - Sonic 2

Rest of my systems all had to have at least games I want to play regularlly before I got on to them. Typically I always nintendo systems at launch out of habit not loyalty but wii is the system I haven't even desired that. All my niche systems end up with more stuff than my mainstream consoles.
 
halo made me buy an xbox after i squad a friends house for nearly a weekend and he began threaten to poison my drinks if i didnt get lost.
 
Never, no game on no system will outweight the money spend which I could also spend on several games on the systems I already own.

That said, SSB:B looks mighty attractive.
 
I bought a Nintendo 64 just for Super Mario 64, i remember playing it at a friends house and i fell so in love with it i just had to had a N64.

Then later an Xbox for Splinter Cell 1, i even bought it before having an Xbox.
 
I did it for the Dreamcast because of Soul Calibur. I did it for Xbox because of KotOR. I did it for the PSX and Metal Gear Solid.

I'm going to sometime buy a 360 for Mass Effect.

So... I still do it to this day. I've never really been disappointed.

...and don't tell my brother... but MGS4 might make me do it for the PS3.
 
NES - Mario Bros 1
SNES - Killer Instinct
Ps1- Tekken 3
Ps2- FFX
Gamcube - Resident Evil Remake
Xbox - Ninja Gaiden
X360- Bioshock
Ps3 - Resistance/Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Wii - Monkeyball 3

DS - NSMB
PSP - Daxter
 
I bought a PS1 just for FF7, I was desperate to play that game. I discovered a whole bunch of games after that, of course. :P

I was interested in a lot of games for the PS2, but it was first MGS3 trailer that finally pushed me over the edge.
