Name a game that looked so good, it convinced you to buy the console it was on all by itself. Also, was it worth it?
this title was inspired by the release of Super Meat Boy 3D, available for the PS5, XBox series X, PC, and Switch 2. Alas, I have only a Switch 1. It may be time I get a Switch 2. Meat Boy 3D looks amazing in the trailer. but I can't just buy it and play it without making a larger financial decision.
On a more retro-ish note: The original Sonic the Hedgehog convinced me that a Genesis would be a solid consolation prize when my mom wouldn't spend $200 on a Super NES which had the game I really wanted, Super Mario World. But my mom made it clear that was not happening.
So I told her a Genesis was only $150. She agreed but I had to compromise and go outside more often and do more chores etc. The Genesis turned out to be a really solid console and the Sonic series delivered some of my fav experiences on it.
Funny thing is I still remember the first commercial that got my attention about Sonic. It was this sassy woman in glasses sitting down addressing the camera like a news anchor would, making all these comments about Sonic. I later learned it was a man in drag. As a kid though I couldn't tell that. Kinda funny now though.
