Favorite - NES

Best overall would be the Wii U since it can play Wii (WiiWare, VC), Wii U eshop games, and Wii U games.

Definitely the SNES, it had more of a variety of games. That's when Nintendo was at its peak and cutting edge. I think the rivalry with Sega and the Genesis really pushed Nintendo to make better and more games. The N64 is their second best console.

Why not? It can play games from all of Nintendo's other home consoles except GCN (could still be added via e-shop) and it WILL have a nice library.

Hands down it has to be the SNES. The games were great. The 16 bit generation was the golden age of gaming.

The best was the Super Nintendo Enternainment System primarily due to all of the content it received from third parties like Squaresoft and the fact that graphics, etc, in RPGs really pushed the graphics far beyond those on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Also it had some of the finest first party efforts in Nintendo's history including Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, and Yoshi's Island. I would list Super Nintendo as the third best console of all time after Playstation 1 and 2 and tied with Playstation 3.

The Super Nintendo was such an awesome console that it's still an excellent idea to pick up its successor in portable form the Gameboy Advance ( if you can get a working one at a reasonable price) just to play through some of the original classics.
