So with Wii U on the way out and NX nearly being revealed it had me looking back on the Wii U and it's great games. Then I thought about how every console I own had at least 10 great games on it. So here's the topic. List all the consoles you own and your Top 10 Favorite games for each. You don't have to have a particular order but they DO have to be for that console and not digital re-releases on modern platforms. You can however make a "Re-Releases" category (just make sure they're games you never owned for that original system).

holy cheese on crackers, you guys play so many games o.o
i mosty judge by visuals, but the gameplay should be fun and unique too
arcade:

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
3DS (I don't technically own one but my sister does)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
OoT3D
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
That's pretty much it. There are more for DS but these are the top 5 I can think of, and for 3DS I think these are the only ones I've played so far.
This is a very small section of actual games I play though because I don't own many consoles. I also emulate some old games, as well as just mostly playing PC games.
3DS:
1- Super Smash Bros 4
2- Kid Icarus Uprising
Having games is a priviledge of a few people. Think about that
Only going to be able list 5 each, as I don't have a-lot of money for games. I am also counting VC releases.
NES:
1. SMB2
2. SMB3
3. BattleToads (Yes, I'm crazy. I like BattleToads)
4. Contra
5. Castlevainia
SNES: (I sold my SNES awhile ago, but I'll list the games I loved)
1. Yoshi's Island
2. Earthbound (VC)
3. SMW.
4. Link To the Past (VC)
5. Super Mario Kart.
N64:
1. Perfect Dark/GoldenEye (Like both in the same manner, tied for me)
2. Paper Mario (Used to speedrun it)
3. Banjo-Tooie.
4. Super Mario 64.
5. Blast Corps (Would of been higher if this game wasn't nerve-wrecking hard)
DS/GBA (Listing ten, used to have the model that had cross-compatibility)
-DS
1. Pokemon Soul Silver.
2. Kirby Super Star Ultra
3. Mario Party DS (Download Play was amazing on this game)
4. M&L: Partners in Time.
5. Yoshi's Island DS.
-GBA
1. M&L: Superstar Saga.
2. Super Mario Advanced 2: SMW.
3. Wario Ware Inc: Mega Microgames!
4. Wario Land 4.
5. Pokemon Emerald (Not a big fan of Gen 3, but still a good game)
I'm mostly a fan of 2D games. Early 3D games are the only ones I really like to play, as they're more stylized and appealing to me, didn't like 3D on the DS, though, looked too sharp.
Yeah if you don't own that many games just put as many as you want.
I wanted to put top 10 because there are just too many games I own that I love too much not to mention.
And while having games is a privilege of a few people, this is a gaming community right? So I figure most people here have quite a few games. S OK while it might be a ridiculous question to ask most people, this is the VG-Resource.
The lists are largely not ordered, but the first few items are going to be the ones I always return to, for the most part. The first item will pretty reliably be my favorite game on the console.

Super Mario Bros. 2
Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers

I really like SMB2 from what I've seen but I haven't actually played it myself so I can't put it on here.
Also unrelated but my signature was designed with white backgrounds in mind, which you can probably tell lol. Time to figure out what to replace it with.
Don't replace your signature. It's beautiful.
I will only list the games which I actually played and had the most fun with, so not every system has 10 games. Btw I can't place them in order, it's just not possible (memory-wise).
