    Cave Story really changed how I ever thought of video games. Mostly because it was challenging, but also had a great story. Also, it also got me into indie/freeware games.

    Even though I played it last year for the first time, it really changed games for me, forever.


    Also, Brawl changed my life just because of all the damn fun I've had in that game for so long. And I've only had the game for two years.

    Zelda: Link's Awakening. The first game I played all the way through, and an amazing experience. I was six at the time, so I didn't really get the ending the first time and I had to use a walkthrough for the last three dungeons, but it was still incredible. When I picked it up again after a few years, I couldn't believe how much of it I still remembered. Now that I understood the ending, I cried like a baby the whole way. Also the whole thing was a giant nostalgia bomb from start to amazing finish. This is what launched me into a love affair with the Zelda series; to this day, it remains my favorite of all game series.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. This game as spawned an obsession that has persisted for over three years now. The ending never fails to make me cry at least two separate times, and hardly a day goes by without me thinking about it. It got me even more hooked on the series than I already was, and gave me a new favorite DS game. It goes with me everywhere now.

    Metroid (NES). Made me realize that not all classic games are all they are cracked up to be. I had heard such good things about the game, so I got it off the Wii Shop Channel. It SUCKED. Horribly. Now, I try to play demos before I buy whenever possible, and I don't just buy games based on "classic" status anymore.

    Assassins Creed, even though not exactly a Nintendo only franchise, it did change me, because it makes me want to free run, and cause chaos irl.

    The games that made me love the wii were wii sports (which made me want to buy another game.. -->) and then Mario Kart Wii, which was the first of my Mario collection.

    I don't think he liked the difficulty/controls/exploration. He's not really too active to tell you why.

    first: pokemon sapphire even though its not as good as silver(my second pokemon game) it still gave me an addiction to pokemon which is still with me to this day(darn u 5th generation)

    most recent: professor layton and the unfound future which i finished minutes ago it had a wonderful plot, a great twist, and an ending that almost made me cry then flipped it around and made me smile. it also makes me feel even smarter and motivates me to be a gentleman

    random: battalion wars 2 because the controls on the wii are just to akward for me so theres 50 bucks down the drain
    taught me to be more cautious when it comes to expensive games

    Unfortunately I don't seem to remember what my first game was, but it most certainly wasn't the most influential, whatever it was.

    I think the first game to change my life was Mother 3. It wasn't just a game, Mother 3 was art. It was a beautiful piece of art, and it made me cry. It was the first game to succeed in doing so for me. In my many, many years of gaming, nothing has ever affected me as much as Mother 3.

    It did the same to me. It made me cry at the end and, as you said, the art of it was beautiful. The last battle was heartbreaking and it felt so wrong, but you had to do it...

    When I finished this game, I was going through a really tough time with my depression that I had been going through for the longest time. I finished this game and it made me cry, but also made me realize how fragile life was and how we should live our lives helping others and standing alongside them. I had a project to do, which was to write a musical score, an original piece, and this game was my motivation for writing it. It became an 11 minute concert band piece, based around a story I had created, that was inspired by Mother 3.

    I probably sound like a cheesy nerd right now, but that game is beautiful.
