Killer Apps: The games that sold me on hardware

I buy a lot of game hardware ngl for usually very frivolous reasons but there's always at least SOMETHING that's only to be found on a specific platform that makes me go "welp, time to make a poor financial decision". These are those games, with their respective hardware that they sold me on. Not even a list of games that are my favorites for each system as usually I would broaden my gaming on each system, these are just the gateway drugs.

Nintendo DSi
Wii (when i saw this in game magazines for the first time after playing so much melee it was so joever)
Sega Saturn (sonic world is one hell of a drug)
Playstation VR (i have no excuse)
Nintendo 64 (i spent like half of my entire childhood trying to track down and buy an N64 with this game)
Philips CD-i
Xbox Series X
Playstation Vita (this was before this game got ported to PC, though I did eventually come to learn how cool the vita actually was so HAH)
Playstation VR2 (and by extension, the PS5 pretty much)
Playstation 4 (and look how good this game actually turned out...)
Xbox (alongside other sega exclusives like JSRF and panzer dragoon orta obvs but this was the game i bought WITH the system way back when)
3DO (i played this at a friend who owned a 3DOs house and life was never the same since, i knew what i had to do right then and there)
N-gage
Xbox 360 (and by extension the kinect)
