What do you consider to be the "Grand Finale" of every retro gaming device?
In other words: the last game released on each system that people actually CARE about (meaning no shovelware)
Here are my personal nominations for the systems I'm familiar with. I don't have anything for Atari or other systems of that era, so someone else can suggest games for those.

>NES: Mega Man 6 (1993)
>GameBoy: Wario Land II (1997)
>SNES: Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (1999) OR Starfox 2 (2017) depending on whether or not you count SF2's SNES Mini & NSO releases
>Nintendo 64: Conker's Bad Fur Day (2001)
>GameBoy Color: Shantae (2002)
>GameBoy Advance: Rhythm Tengoku (2006)
>Gamecube: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006)

>Master System: Sonic Chaos (1993)
>Genesis: Vectorman 2 (1996)
>Game Gear: Sonic Blast (1996)
>Saturn: Panzer Dragoon Saga (1998)
>Dreamcast: Puyo Puyo Fever (2004)

>PlayStation: Dragon Quest IV (2001)
>PlayStation 2: Persona 4 (2008)

>Xbox: Splinter Cell: Double Agent (2006)

Thoughts on this listing? Is there anything you'd swap out with a different game? What about systems I don't have much knowledge on like the Ataris?

Here's mine

>NES: Adventure Island IV (1994)
>Game Boy: Pokemon Gold and Silver* (2000)
>SNES: Rockman and Forte (1998)
>Nintendo 64: Animal Forest (2001)
>Genesis: Sonic 3D Blast (1996) or Sonic Classics (1997)

>(*Technically a GBC game, but playable on original Game Boy)

The rest I would probably keep the same for the most part.

Of the ones I had and based on my memories these were the swan songs:
NES - Zoda's Revenge: Startropics 2
SNES - Kirby's Dreamland 3
Genesis - Vectorman 2
PS1 - Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
N64 - WWF No Mercy
GBC - Dragon Warrior Monsters 2
Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure 2

It’s the same reason we don’t count madden or any iterative sports franchise, got nothing to do with popularity - we know they are popular. They are not original in general and I would say shouldn’t really be considered in this discussion, unless there was just some breakout change that pulled in more than the expected demographic.
