Best exclusive game by console

[Lync]

It's hard to pick just one.

And it's even harder when games that you think are exclusive are available on something called the 'Nintendo Virtual Console' or 'Playstation Network.'

...Whatever the hell those are. Of the consoles I own:

NES Vice: Project Doom
SMS Ninja Gaiden
PCE EVERYTHING I LIKE HAS BEEN PORTED
GEN Twinkle Tale
SNES Gundam Wing: Endless Duel
PCECD Rayxanber III
GENCD Robo Aleste
GEN32X Shadow Squadron
3DO Lucienne's Quest
JAG Super Burnout
SAT Fighters Megamix
PS Granstream Saga
N64 Sin & Punishment
DC Sturmwind

GB Solar Striker
LYNX Wyvern Tales
GG Sylvan Tale
NGPC Faselei!
GBA Iridion II
PSP Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core

Turbografx 16-Ys Books I & II

I think Ys I not is exclusive.

JAG Super Burnout

Finally, Jaguar remembered.

Cube - Star Fox Adv

This is soooo exclusive.

PC Eng - Jackie Chan

I think that JC not is exclusive. There is a Nes version.

Yeah, ok I'll change it to Splash Lake then

3DO Lucienne's Quest

Ported to Saturn, in fact (though only in Japanese), and it seems to be essentially the same game. Surprising, I know!

Personally I'd nominate Immercenary though that's an offbeat choice. I certainly (and unexpectedly) enjoyed it, though.

Philips G7000 - Pick Axe Pete

Is that a European version of the Magnavox Odyssey?

[Black_Tiger]

Is that a European version of the Magnaxox Oddeysee?

Yeah, that game was exclusive and one of the very best from the original run.

[goldenband]

I thought about listing Pick Axe Pete or Killer Bees for the Odyssey². It took me a while to warm up to PAP (!) but it's fun. Killer Bees is a very original design.

But Smithereens is just so fun with two people, and the Voice commentary seals the deal. "You blew it!"

[Team Andromeda]

Is that a European version of the Magnavox Odyssey?

Yep . My mum got me the system in 84 for my Birthday, when a local shop was selling the stock on the cheap. I got PickAxe pete with the system and loved it.

[StandardDeluxe]

Neo•Geo Pocket Color - SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium, plus about another 20 or so awesome exclusives...

NEO•GEO AES/MVS - Blazing Star, but I’ll also throw in Pulstar, Prehistoric Isle 2, Mark of the Wolves and the legendary Last Blades.

You're right - I'm familiar with the Saturn port.

In my mind if it doesn't exist in English to the point I can understand the game, then it doesn't exist at all.

Which for me makes Lucienne's Quest such an incredible feat for the 3DO. It is a legitimately good RPG, and the 3DO is the only place to play it for English-speakers.

Atari 7800 - Rikki & Vikki
Lynx - Zaku
NES - Samurai Pizza Cats game
SMS - Sonic1
TG16 - Air Zonk
MD - Ristar
MCD - Keio Flying Squadron
32X - Stellar Assault
PS1 - Duke Nukem Time to Kill

Yeah, with an RPG, I'd agree that "exclusive English release" is de facto console-exclusive. And the 3DO version allegedly beats the pants off the Saturn port, though I haven't played them both to know firsthand.

That's one of the nice surprises in the 3DO library, that a few of the multiplatform games really are better on the 3DO, which (as I understand it) is sometimes thanks to certain quirks/flexibilities in the way the 3DO handles color bit depth.

Not meaning to venture off-topic but speaking of the 3DO, I just watched a really well made vid on it by Sega Lord X. Good stuff.
