    What game are you going to choose for each system and why?
     
    NES- Mike Tyson's Punch Out. It never gets old to me.

    Super Nintendo -Earthbound. It doesn't get boring to me either, no matter how many times I run through it.

    N64 - Mario 64. Oddly I don't even enjoy this one in particular, but I keep going back and have gotten 120 stars twice. I'm not sure why I keep returning.

    DreamCast - Grandia

    PS1 - Final Fantasy 8

    PS2 - Bully

    PS3- Metal Gear Solid 4

    PS4 - Skyrim

    XBOX 360 - Fallout New Vegas. I enjoyed Fallout 3 more, but New Vegas has more replay value.

    GameCube - Animal Crossing

    3DS - Mario Kart 7. It was a childhood game to me.

    A tough question.

    Super Nintendo: Earthbound. A personal favorite, partially from nostalgia. Enjoys all the little mechanics (especially rolling hitpoint damage) and the world in general.

    Replays it from time to time still. Plans to soon, actually. Cannot figure out a fun challenge to add. Refrained from equipping anything last time. Maybe "no withdrawals or egg farming"?

    N64: Paper Mario. Views this as one of the weaker game systems. Rose as the best choice, despite not even being the best Paper Mario. Highlights its leveling system. Chooses between Hitpoints, Flower Points (see: mana), and Badge Points (see: special attacks and passive effects). May opt to never increase one. Considers it a tough choice, as well as a good source of replayability.

    Gamecube: Tales of Symphonia. Loved the story and characters. Was also drawn in the battle system. Never played anything like it before. Became more special for being "the first".

    Was a rough choice here. Beat out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance mostly because of other entries in those series being selected elsewhere.

    Wii: Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Faced a situation much like the N64's. Cared less about this system. Prefers at least one other Kirby game (Kirby Super Star) to this. Earns the spot for its [True] Arena. Breezed through the main game. Ramps up for the Arena and True Arena. Brought that desired difficulty and then some. Describes it as the purest gaming moment in a long time. (Applied more to Planet Robobot on the 3DS. Fits this game well too, though.)

    Switch: Rune Factory 4: Special? Liked one Harvest Moon game before. Cannot describe why balancing farming, making cash, and speaking with villagers was interesting. Cranked it up in this game. Adds combat and crafting into the mix. Provides more direction.

    Completed it only once versus three times each for both runner-ups (Pokemon Sword and Fire Emblem: Three Houses). Might not hold up as well the second time around. (Will likely revisit it after Earthbound.)

    Game Boy Color: Pokemon Crystal. Calls it the best generation. Introduced a lot of good Pokemon and features into the series. Has not replayed it in ages, admittedly. Might balk at the missing features like abilities and physical/special split. Outpaces the competition easily, though.

    Game Boy Advance: Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Separates itself from others with its Djinn system. Affects the equipped character's spells and stats. Usually stuck with same-type Djinns. Presents an interesting option for additional playthroughs.

    Remembers very little difference, gameplay-wise, between this and the original. Figured the second half would be more refined.

    DS: Chrono Trigger. Yes, a port. Added no good new content. Savors this game's story and music that much. Edged out The World Ends With You, despite also being a stellar game. Thought about which would be more fun to replay. Chose Chrono Trigger.

    3DS: Fire Emblem: Awakening. Bridges the gap between older and newer Fire Emblems. Takes the stronger parts of the old games (an interesting story for the first third) and the new games (skill decisions, reclassing, and strong support mechanics). May not be the best example in the series of individual mechanics, but the most preferred package.

    PC: Terraria. Permits more creativity than the other games here with building. Enjoys constructing arenas for bosses. Views it as half the battle and just as rewarding as executing a strategy while fighting a boss. Presents plenty of difficulty and interesting weapons. Created clear avenues for different playstyles (melee, ranged, caster, and summoner), and therefore, an easy reason to replay it. Offers even more through mods.

    ___________

    Picked mostly favorites of each system. Valued replayability and series variety. Made some possible decisions easier. Overwhelmingly selected roleplaying games, unsurprisingly. Feels happy with this list. Realized how fun it might be to replay some of these while making the list (on top of the ones already planned above).
     
    Oh good lord this is torture.

    Currently I only own one system which is a PC... and NGL there are way too many games to choose from D:

    if I had to pick though, probably Destiny 2 right now cause its literally the game I play the most right now and does have *some* replay value

    in reality I would find whoever made that rule and whack them around for this torture
     
    GBA - Pokemon Emerald, not necessarily one of my all time favorite Pokemon games but, Pokemon Emerald is just a really solid game overall. Hoenn is also one of my top 2 regions so it's always fun to run through the game from time to time

    DS - Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2: Grimoire of the Rift, there's a lot of customization and builds to work with which keeps the gameplay very interesting each time I play it. It's fun to watch or create some crazy builds, and it also has a fun post game with challenging battles which you put those builds to the test

    3DS - Honestly, even though this game is one of those so bad it's actually kind of endearing... I would have to say Fire Emblem: Fates (Special Edition obviously because you get 3 games in one if that counts but if I had to pick one, I'd choose Conquest). Even though the story and most of the characters aren't great, I like the customization and building aspect and just generally using weird, unorthodox unit + class combos which keeps the gameplay interesting.

    Switch - Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, generally like games that encourage creativity (when it comes to building a team or units) and this game is similar to Pokemon (with the whole monster building/taming/creation) but with Xenoblade combat. I have a lot of fun playing the game and, it has a post game that is sort of challenging but fun as well

    PC - Toss up between Stardew Valley and Trails of Cold Steel 4 but, I'd probably lean closer to Stardew Valley because there's just so much to do in the game. Starting new farms is always fun (even if I do pretty much the same thing each time) plus there's also multiplayer support which is cool.
     
    For each system? My go to answer from everything was going to be Pokemon Crystal (perhaps unsurprisingly being on this forum) so I guess that would just be my GBC/GBA/3DS answers.
    My others:
    Spoiler:


    PS5 I feel is too early to decide and Xbox 1 & Series I don't have and never had. Every system earlier than the ones I listed too I've left out for lack of experience with too.
     
    Playstation - Crash Bandicoot. The first video game I ever owned.
    Playstation 2 - GTA San Andreas. One of the greatest games of that generation.
    Playstation 3 - Killzone 2. Amazing campaign and multiplayer. Sadly the multiplayer servers are offline, but this is a game that really pushed the PS3 to the limit.
    Playstation 4 - Killzone Shadowfall. I'm a fan of Killzone, it was my launch day game and I enjoy the heck out of the multiplayer.
    GBC - Pokémon Red. My first GBC game and the game that gave me the most joy as a child.
    GBA - Pokémon Fire Red. A remake of one of the best games ever made.
    Gamecube - Luigi's Mansion. It pushed the GC's visuals day one and I love the concept.
    Switch - Luigi's Mansion 3. A sequel to a great game and like its predecessor, it pushes the hardware.
    Xbox - Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The best lightsaber combat in any Star Wars game. It's incredible how developers went backwards when it came to lightsaber combat in later games.
    Xbox 360 - Halo 4. I'm a huge Halo fan. Halo 4 has an amazing campaign and it really pushed the Xbox 360. It was tough trying to choose between this and Gears of War 3.
    Xbox One - Halo: The Masterchief Collection. All the mainline Halo games in a single collection.
    DS - Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. An interesting Sonic game and sorely underrated.
    3DS - Pokémon X. One of the best Pokémon generations.

    There's no way I can answer this properly.. I get really, really attached to my games.

    Can I just say Animal Crossing and call it good? This is too hard.

    GBA - Pokémon Emerald (my first, the only one I never sold for a reason - it's incredible)
    Xbox 360 - Assassin's Creed: Black Flag (barely beats II - the latter has more nostalgia and a better protagonist, but Black Flag is so fun!
    DS - Pokémon HeartGold - I literally own only one non-Pokémon DS game (The Simpsons Game). HeartGold / SoulSilver are probably the best pokémon games they'll ever make.
    Mac - Football Manager 19. So good I bought but never played FM20 and was on the brink of FM22's release when I finally gave up on it.
