You must make a classic version of a console. What games do you put on it?

In the spirit of the Classic console craze that I think has run its course at this point, what would you put on a particular "X System Classic" as a good gaming lineup to best represent a console's library, without hacking?

PlayStation 2:

Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Devil May Cry
Killzone
God of War
God of War 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Ico
Wild Arms 3
Final Fantasy X
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas/Grand Theft Auto 3
Tekken 5
Sly Cooper
Jak and Daxter
Ratchet and Clank
Zone of the Enders
Gran Turismo 3
Wipeout Fusion
King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match
Ys VI Ark of Napishtim
Zone of the Enders 2
Suikoden III
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts II
Resident Evil 4
Onimusha
Onimusha 2
Devil May Cry 3
Sly Cooper 2
Wild Arms 4

So, erm...first you want us to put a PC in a console. Now you want a list of which games to include in a classic version. C'mon...admit it: you want to build your own mini <insert console>, right? :)



Erm...let's see. Since the wii is my most played console, that's the obvious choice for me. As for which games:

Mario kart wii
Super Paper Mario
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country returns
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess
Boom Blox bash party
Metroid prime: corruption
World of Goo
Sin & Punishment
Wii sports resort
Xenoblad chronicles
No more heroes
Red Steel 2
New super mario bros wii
Wario Ware: Smooth moves
wii play: motion
Okami
Kirby: Epic Yarn


There...these are among the best wii games. Not necessarily the best (or even my personal best), but when I look at what's released on the system, this should give a good idea of the system in general. Oh, and none require pheripherals outside the wii, possibly assisted with a nunchuck.

Of course I can easily double the amount of games, but I restrict myself explicitly to 20, with roughly guessing which ones would be legaly feasible somehow (I personally prefer rayman origins over NSMBW...but it's third party and - let's face it - it's less iconic).


Honorable mentions:
excitebots
house of the dead overkill
wario: shakedown dimension
skyward sword
metroid prime: trilogy
de blob 2
Mario party 8 or wii party (?)
Resident evil 4
about 100 other games :P

Well, when you're working a job that doesn't challenge your mind all too much, your mind tends to think of ideas like the PC-inside-console thread earlier, especially if said job lets you browse PCPartPicker during downtime!

I like make RetroPie consoles, and put all the games I like to play.
I'm planing making a new build with a Raspberry Pi 4.
My Pi-Station (Raspberry Pi 3) is a bit outdated.

No, this is taking your favorite system ever, or just any system really, and coming up with the selection of games you'd put on it. You could take a somewhat realistic/sort of idealish approach like I did, or take it to either of those extremes!

This is a bit short IMO. Where's Twilight Princess? F-Zero GX? Resident Evil 1 and Zero? Tales of Symphonia? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles? Fire Emblem Path of Radiance? Any of the mainline 3D Sonic games that aren't "OW THE EDGE"?

And I forgot about Soul Calibur II! The version everyone considers the best since it has Link in it!

Eh, the only mainline sonic game it had was heroes and that game is not a game i'd put on a classic console since those are like a "best of" compilation for that console and sonic heroes is.... not good, to say the least

Give me a Game and Watch Classic Edition! Put a bunch of single-screen Game and Watch games on it, stuff like:

Ball
Fire
Octopus
Helmet
Flagman
Judge
Super Mario Bros. (the actual Game and Watch game, not a NES rom)

Put a fun clock on there, maybe hide some smaller NES games as bonuses like Balloon Fight and Ice Climbers...

And most importantly:
Make it a My Nintendo platinum reward so I have something to spend my pile of platinum points on!
