For me, it's:
1.)Pokemon (any version from Generation III and beyond, including revamped remakes. Still haven't caught them all. My friends from 6th grade will probably ask me if I kept my promise to catch them all. I never expected it to balloon to 649. I remember when there were only 151. I guess my nostalgia only gets in the way. Still, I'm not trying to knock at any of the newer ones.)
2.) Sonic the Hedgehog (Except for the 2006 version. I kept dying every so often. Secret Rings had a Party game mode ala Mario Party)
3.) Mario (Paper or Party, it doesn't matter, I like roleplaying games and I like party games)
4.) Dead or Alive (Both regular and Beach. So what if I like the girls? They have given me a chance to aim for a goal to be thin and fit. If I can take down a man in a simulation, I probably could do in real life, not that I want or need to.)
5.) Street Fighter (Chun-Li is a favorite of mine. I actually saw Jackie Chan in City Hunter cosplaying Chun-Li. I'm not joking, Jackie Chan did dress in drag for that scene.)
6.) King of Fighters (I haven't played a game of it, but the visuals are stunning enough to make me reconsider my stance on fighting games being without a serious plot.)
7.) Katamari Damacy (I love rolling along. My mother sometimes play this one Christmas song that involves rolling a snowball and the lyrics go "Get out and roll it along!")
8.) Kingdom Hearts (I got the original for my 15th birthday and it took me 3 years to figure out that you're not supposed to fight the Heartless at the beginning when the world is starting to collapse in on itself.)
9.) The Urbz: Sims in the City (Okay, so that last one is a spin-off, but still, it stands alone as a platformer of sorts)
Personal Quote: "I like my men like my sodas: tall boys." (Zevia has both 12 and 16 oz options)
(P.S. I'm about 5' (150cm) in height and easily scared)
