Best/Favourite console.
Title says it all, my favourite console would probably be the gamecube, though I think the SNES is probably the best console generally.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
And why the hell is the SNES the best console? If you're only going to name Nintendo consoles, then you should name the one and only, the best: The Wii.
Slag it off if you want, but you can't argue you that it doesn't have the most amount of classics, downloadable or not.

Snes basicly made quite alot of average series amazing, metroid and zelda for example.
Argue how much you want the Nes games in those were pretty bad compared to the snes ones onward.

Yes, and quite a few of those classics are now on the Wii, as well as the whole Gamecube back catalog. Maybe the SNES is your "favourite" console, but it's not the best.
And I agree about the NES games, but that's besides the point.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
From what I've played and seen, the N64 <3.
There's so many classics on it, loads missing from the VC still.
However I never actually owned it >_<
So from what I've owned it would be the Wii, PS3 is very close. Although I just prefer the Wii for games, as a console though the PS3 kills the Wii.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
I actually think the N64 is a bit overrated tbh.
While the games are good (and I know this is a shallow criticism) the graphics are pretty damn horrible as are the ps1's.
That gen has the graphics that have aged the worst imo.

Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time looks quite bad now, but as a game it's better than the majority of games out this gen; in my opinion.

It was and still is a pretty good console.
Re: Best/Favourite console.
I just get dissapointed when I look at snes graphics and then look at n64.
Though the 3D jump was neccesary for gameplay to evolve.

I guess so, not all N64 games are ugly anyway. Some of the ones that do are still amazing though, and you'd be missing out to put them a side just due to graphics.Shad wrote:I just get dissapointed when I look at snes graphics and then look at n64.

Twlight Princess was basically just OOT with better graphics and I still prefer OOT

Re: Best/Favourite console.
I'd agree that the SNES is the best console. Mario World, Final Fantasy VI, Yoshi's Island, Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country and stuff like that. My favourite is probably the GBA, though, since I played quite a few of those games on the GBA, plus some other stuff.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
Anyone that says the Wii is a fool. Having ports doesn't make a system good, exclusives and functionality do. By your logic, the PC is the best for the many, many emulators.
The best console this generation is down to personal preference. I would say 360, with the best overall console of all time would be... actually, the 360 again. It made online gaming the norm, created achievements, was the first HD system available and has a solid and varied line-up of exclusives, both retail and downloadable.

N64 I wuv, but then I also love both the GC and the SNES. The 360 is pretty awesome as well. It's to hard to choose.

And I think you're just saying "Hahahaha no" just for the sake of the Wii being far behind in this generation. If you aren't, then you're missing the point.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
No they won't.
The Mother series will never come to the Virtual Console, Banjo Kazooie won't, Donkey Kong 64 won't, and neither will Tales of Phantasia, among countless others. Most RPGs won't come to it. So no, they won't be over time. There are so many VC games that should be on there but won't.
Even then 360 / PS3 beat the Wii due to the fact that you have to re-purchase games to play them on the Wii if you had them before, plus Xbox and PlayStation have a much better online service and (This part's just my opinion) a far better games library this generation. The Wii is only good for people that never had the games in the first place, for everyone else it's pretty shit.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
OK, when I said "they will over time", I didn't mean all the VC games, per se.
And be logical now, the Wii can play both its own games, Gamecube games, it has better specs (despite it being much weaker than the 360 and PS3), and it has the potential to host all those Nintendo classics of the past with VC.
Perhaps this isn't the most favourable era for Nintendo, but I really don't see where the argument is for which is the best Nintendo console.
If people are saying (for example) the Gamecube is there favourite console, then they're really talking about the era, right? Honestly now. Not that I would dismiss their opinion.

Re: Best/Favourite console.
GameCube is obviously not the "Best Nintendo Console" as yes, the Wii is a GameCube and more. However, you could argue there is better value for money with the GameCube as it's so much cheaper.
Secondly.
It's NOT the best console as quantity of games does not equal quality of games. For example, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day can lead someone to say Nintendo 64 is the better console as it is physically possible to play those games on the N64. They are unplayable on the Wii, and will always be.
Wii may have the biggest library due to the amount of games playable on the system however that doesn't mean the library is the best library as Like I said Quality =/= Quantity. And there are too many decent games missing out on the VC version it is impossible to say Wii is factually a better console.
EDIT: @Shad because it's cheaper? Because the games run natively on the GameCube without the need for the Wii to emulate it which requires longer loading times?
