Nintendo announced this morning that "Pokemon Snap" is now available on the Wii's Virtual Console system. I plan to buy the game. It will be the second -- possibly third -- time I've bought "Pokemon Snap."
Earlier in the year, when "Sin & Punishment" was released on the Virtual Console, I bought it too -- my second time owning that game.
And back when I got the Wii and downloaded "The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time"? Let's see, how many that was:
- The Nintendo 64 original
- The "Ocarina of Time" Master Quest GameCube disc that was a pre-order for "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker"
- The "Zelda" compilation GameCube disc (though, if memory serves this wasn't really bought, but traded-in for)
- The Wii virtual console edition
There you go. I bought that game four times. And it's not even my favorite game or anything. I just like having an accessible version. (My reason for having multiple "Pokemon Snap"s, however, is that I keep meaning to play it, I keep never getting around to it, and I keep trying to make it easily accessible to myself.)
I've bought "Yoshi's Island" twice, on the SNES and GBA. I bought "Halo" twice, because I lost my first disc -- and I'm considering buying it a third time through the new Xbox Live Originals program, just because I like the idea of having lots of games available on my hard drive (which reminds me, I guess I've now bought "Psychonauts" twice).
So I'm wondering: which game have you bought the most?
[UPDATE/ CLARIFICATION -- Which game have you bought the most, across any format the game has been released in?]
I bet there are a lot of you out there who keep buying "Super Mario Brothers." Or "Pac-Man." Again and again, on your Atari, your cell phone and so on. Admit it.
