Title: What's your favorite video game console?
Post by: Super on December 12, 2011, 03:05:51 AM
It's hard for me to decide on this. I'd say it's a tie between SNES and N64. SNES's sheer number of amazing games is a plus, but I also think that the N64 is a magical machine.
Title: Game Cube For The Victory
Post by: JrDude on December 12, 2011, 03:30:28 AM
Game Cube. It has my top 2 top favorite games on them (PM:TTYD, SA2:B), it has that whole thing you can connect to it so you can play GBA games (and GB games I think, not positive), which I had and was enjoyable. Not only those, but the games on it (that I got) were all so much fun, I don't remember a "bad" game at all. In fact, I liked it so much, when my Game Cube broke (my cousin decided to try and jump over the cord when I moved it in the Living Room for a little bit, and she landed on it and it made the system fall and break), I bought a new one. And Wii was set to come out in a month or so (which I got release day).

Gamecube easily has the biggest, best library of Nintendo exclusives combined with plenty of 3rd party titles, and the console itself is an awesome cube with a handle and tiny discs and a crazy multi-colored ergonomic controller.

In fact, I'm currently in the process of trying to reacquire one, as well as reforge a library before the Wii U comes out and they leave GameStop shelves forever.

Skyrim is where it is at (actually just waiting for SWTOR), stopped playing WoW like... 6 months ago.

Plus any FPS is tons better on a computer than on a console.

Pretty much. I can play whatever game I want however I want to. :U
But I think the SNES or the N64 had some of the best games, so either of those

The Gamecube, for sure. I still play a lot of my old Gamecube games, and they're still just as fun and engaging as they were 6 years ago.

If I was held at gunpoint and had to decide: The SNES.

But I really like the PS2 and Gamecube. Dat Ratchet. Dat Tales. Dat Wind Waker. Dat Sunshine.

Probably Game Cube. It had all the fun stuff from Nintendo before they went and got all "intuitive".

Easily my favorite 3D Mario. The gimmick is... blatant... but it works very well imo, and it was the only one to feel like one big world instead of a hub with a bunch of completely random levels.

I thought Wind Waker was okay at best. I liked the art style, but the game just annoyed me for some reason. The dungeons were pretty interesting, though.

Sunshine was just silly in my opinion.

Either the N64 or the GameCube. The N64 because it was my first console, and Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were two of my first, and still favorite games.

And the GameCube was just plain awesome. Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, and Melee. Need I say more?

I need to go buy Wind Waker. I'll start checking the used GCN shelf at my Gamestop again.

I got a Gamecube and Luigi's Mansion from my friends for early Christmas. Heck yeah!

Now I need to get all the other games I sold over the years... Paper Mario 2, Kirby Air Ride, Metroid Prime, Godzilla Destroy All Monsters (don't you judge me)...

Holy poop! I forgot Luigi's Mansion! That's got to be at least in my top 5 of favorite games.

That Godzilla game hasn't aged well. At the time though, boy was it fun.

It was a great game and I'm so mad at myself for waiting so many years to play it.

I'm gonna break the thread here and say the 360.  I've had most of the consoles starting from NES, and in their respective hay-days.  For me the 360 was a lot of "This is awesome" moments.  I've had those on all consoles, really, but the 360 was full of them.  I still have my SNES, and I still love it. 

But if you came to me and said that I could have one game console for the rest of my life, and access to that consoles full library, I would choose the 360 (especially if you included backwards compatible xbox games).

Nostalgia is great, and I have a ton of fond memories playing FF on the NES, Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong on the SNES, Shadowrun on the Genesis, Tekken 3 on the PS1, GTA on the PS2, Morrowind on the Xbox, and I'm having a blast with Skyrim on the PS3.  I just feel like I've had a ton of those moments on the 360.

And you guys can all hate, and that's fine, but as one of the only people on this forum alive when the NES hit America, one of the few that remembers the debut of Donkey Kong Country, and maybe the only one who almost died when he thought he wasn't going to get Killer Instinct on Christmas, I can tell you guys that I don't give a good God Damn, and I like what I like.
