I've seen multiple threads on this forum with users looking for advice on what games to buy, but there is no one thread that has attempted to compile a list of games you all think everyone should own. So here is what I ask. What games that are currently available on virtual console and WiiWare do you think are must buys for almost anyone? These are usually games that standout in some way, either by defining a genre or being the best in that class. Or, the game could introduce a unique game play element or style and is thus a first.
I will be following this thread and using others comments to compile a list here of games that are generally thought to be must haves. When suggesting a game for this list, please also tell us your reason for it. Saying Mega Man 2 should be on the list with no reason as to why won't be helpful to anyone, but saying Mega Man 2 should be on the list because it has all the features that makes a good 2D platformer fun to play and is challenging is better.
