Just as a side note, I didn't even play half of the games I had for NES and the carts are in the impossible-to-access attic. We never actually paid for them. They were hand-me-downs from our cousins when they went to SNES and PS1. Therefore, there are probably a lot more on this list, but who cares.
SNES
Looney Tunes B-Ball
Killer Instinct
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Adventure
We had two more but they were so terrible I can't even remember what they were after looking at a list of games out on SNES. One thing is obvious though: I was oblivious to how awesome this console really was. My sister got the SNES and I was only allowed to play it. I couldn't choose what games to buy or anything. Notice a few things missing? Mario, Zelda, Metroid, RPGs, etc? This pattern continues into...
N64
1080 Snowboarding
Army Men: Air Combat
Banjo-Kazooie
Cruis'n World
Extreme-G 2
Mia Hamm 64 Soccer (-.-)
Super Smash Bros.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
I didn't even own Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye, Mario Kart, or Super Mario 64. That's really sad. Right at the end of it all, my sister finally grew out of video games and gave the console to me. I proved my ownership of it by purchasing Super Smash Bros. I had not heard anything about the game before buying it. It just looked awesome.
This ended my sister's influence on what I owned. I had been borrowing games from friends ever since SNES, which is how I came to play real games in the first place. I had to borrow OOT, MM, SM64, Star Fox, Jet Force Gemini, etc. just to play them.

Yeah. I bought the console for myself with Melee as my first game. Every other game was under $50 by the time I wanted it with the exception of Tales of Symphonia, which was sold out across the area. I bought and played them all for myself. I regret a few purchases, like Crystal Chronicles, Enter the Matrix, Freestyle BMX, but overall I think I made some great choices in games.

This will obviously expand. I highly doubt I'll make any purchases I'll regret having played almost every game I wish to purchase. Next up is Katamari, Disgaea (fine, moogy, you win), Return to Arms, Guilty Gear XX (if I can find it), maybe Colossus, Devil May Cry 3, and any other good RPGs I can dig up.
Wii
Elebits
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel

Red Steel is the only game I wish I hadn't paid full price for. Thankfully, with the way my purchase went, I really didn't pay full price. I paid $30. Even so, I wish I had rented it. Everything else is great. Trauma Center and Elebits are the two best games on the system. I'm going to be picking up Super Paper Mario as soon as I can (Amazon has it for $45!). My good online retailer has lost its great deals on new games, so I'm going to be using Amazon a lot more it seems. Then, of course, is Galaxy, MP3, Brawl, and maybe a few of the little games that came out a while back that might drop in price soon.
