When you get into a new series of games, do you try to play all of the games released to that franchises name, or do you keep it to strictly the numbered/important titles?

Kingdom Hearts,Jak and Daxter,Ratchet and Clank,Sly Cooper of course I want to play them all

Final Fantasy,Spyro,Crash,Bomberman not exactly all of them

A lot of these answers feel the same. Regardless, it really just depends. I know I'll never have enough money nor time to get every game in a franchise. That's where watching walkthroughs comes in.

KH I tend to get every game with importance to the story, but like, if I have a copy of say, Re:COM on 1.5, I won't bother importing Re:COM original or buying the GBA version for the sake of just collecting them since I have that segment of the story.  

Zelda is one i'm planning to do once I get a Wii U (since as of right now far as I know it's still  backwards compatible, so Wii Zelda games on it, and when the emulator sells the VC games, then Wii U -Hyrule Warriors- and Wii U Wind Waker, I have OoT 3D and MM on Project64) etccccccccccccccc.  Then there's also the older games that are on the eShop like Link's awakening.  Though I generally don't want Zelda II.

 

with FF I do have a few of their games (FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FFVII:Crisis Core, FF Dissidia, FFX-2) and I most likely will buy FFXIII-3 (Lightning Returns?) and the X/X-2 remaster but in general I'm not THAT into their games that I want to go out and spend an entire fortune trying to get the whole franchise.  

The Wii U is backwards-compatible. It can indeed play Wii games.

But by the time I get it (won't allow myself to buy another console until I complete every game I own) they might stop producing them with backwards compatibility and take the function out for a slimmer console, like they did with the PS3

I attempted to. I bought a PSP and DS just to play BBS, 358 and Coded, but not long after I beat Coded they announced DDD for the 3DS and I have absolutely no desire to buy another console just to play that. Sometime a thousand years down the line when the 3DS is cheap I may end up buying it to play DDD before I get a PS4 and KHIII, but again, that won't be for a while.

I doubt Nintendo would roll around a new Wii U any time soon. It's even less likely that they would remove the backwards-compatibility. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Depends on the series. For most, I just play the most acclaimed titles. For story-driven series, like KH or Professor Layton or Ace Attorney where the story connects through all of the games, I make an effort to go through the whole bunch.
