Basically, exactly what the topic title says- each system has a game that it is most associated with, a game that is not just the best game on the series, but the single game that can be used to represent the system as a whole. What do you think each system's signature game is?

WII U: Mario Kart 8

NINTENDO 3DS: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

WII: Wii Sports

PLAYSTATION VITA: Persona 4 Golden

XBOX 360: Gears of War

PLAYSTATION 3: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

PC: Sid Meier's Civilization V

I'm not doing Xbox One or PS4 yet because they are very young.

Regardless, what do you think is the signature game for each system?

No Char, PC's Signature game is not Civ V. It's Doom Quake.

I am, but a Gamespot bug makes it so that if you are a mod, it doesn't appear in a thread that you make.

Nintendo Handhelds Pokemon

Nintendo Home consoles Smash

Microsoft Home consoles Halo

Playstation home consoles For me It's ratchet and clank For most it's probably something stupid like uncharted

Playsatation handhelds are at opposite ends of the spectrum For the PSP I say Patapon for Vita all I associate it with is wasted money and sadness. jk I associate LBP vita with the vita.

PV I associate with Torchlight for most it would be Dota 2

PC: LoL (Unfortunately)

Wii: Wii Sports

PS3: The Last of Us

XBOX360: Call of Duty 4

Wii U: Super Mario 3D World

PS4: The waiting game

XBONE: Sunset Overdrive

Vita: Persona 4 Golden

3DS: Pokemon X/Y

Edit: None of these are any of my necessarily favorite games, but I picked something that representst he system as a whole or something that really pushed the sales (though Mario Kart 8 did that thing a lot more for the Wii U than 3D World)

3DS: Pokemon X/Y

Wii: Mario Galaxy 2

Wii U: MK8 (we're all just waiting for Zelda though...)

PS3: Uncharted 2 or 3, but like someone else said earlier, I associate Ratchet&Clank more with PlayStation consoles.

Xbox 360: Gears of War or Halo 4...

PC: I'm afraid it'd have to be LoL, Dota 2 or WoW...

  • PC: LoL

And slowly, but surely becoming one of my personal favorites. Experimenting and learning what gear works best in certain situations on the champions i currently own and generally learning to play better with them, has given me plenty of enjoyment. I love that about LoL, it's endless length.

I don't have any interest in playing ranked and becoming super competitive, just playing casually a couple of blind matches or team builders a day with friends. Been doing this for almost a year now, and i have no intention of stopping.

  • Wii: Wii Sports
  • PS3: Uncharted 2
  • Xbox 360: Gears of War (i dunno which one, which one sold the most i guess)
  • 3DS: Pokemon X/Y
  • WiiU: Mario Kart 8 (and personally wen i think of this console, i automatically think of how much i wanna play MK8)
  • PS4: Doesn't have one.
  • Xbone: Ditto.

I'm just going to generalize.

When you think of Xbox, you think of Halo.

When you think of Nintendo, you think of Mario.

When you think of Playstation, you think of.................hmmm..................uhm......................Socom 2.

When you think of PC, you think of WOW.

  • PS4: Resogun, probably to be replaced by the first game that doesn't suck until Naughty Dog releases something new
  • Xbox One: Titanfall, probably soon to be replaced by Halo Collection or Halo 5
  • Wii U: ...not sure, Mario Kart 8 seems pretty popular at this point
  • 3DS: Pokemon something-or-other, I dunno, I don't play them
  • PSV: not sure there is one, Persona 4: The Golden perhaps?
  • PS3: the Uncharted games, and TLOU, pretty much the Naughty Dog titles
  • Xbox 360: Toss-up between Halo & Gears of War games
  • Wii: Wii Sports
  • PC: Crysis (still beating that dead horse)

Sometimes i wonder whats the point of all these threads charz but anyways this is why i like PlayStation systems because they dont have a single signature game like other consoles, with PlayStation 3 for example it had not one but many games that i would call signature titles of the system games like The Last of Us, Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Disgaea, Infamous, GT and far many more... with PlayStation i think great story focused games.

with nintendo all i think about is pokemon and mario and xbox its just the dudebroshooter halo.

It's different for everyone. I'm going to count the platform camps, not individual systems.

PlayStation - Uncharted

Xbox - Halo

Nintendo - Zelda (for me it is)

Xbox 360: Gears of War

Wii: Super Mario Galaxy

Wii U: Mario Kart 8 (but that'll change in the next year)

3DS: Fire Emblem (I don't know why this came to mind -- I guess because that's when the handheld started picking up momentum)

Couldn't tell you what the signature titles are for PlayStation these days. Once upon a time I would have said Final Fantasy. I guess The Last of Us is what I'd associate with PS3.
