dreamcast_ because the graphics looked so much better than the last gen,analog r1/l1,great for racing games like speed devils and sega rally

1a. N64 1b. playstation the nintendo has the best array of all around games especially 3d platformers :) where do i start... conkers bad fur day, super mario 64, super smash bros., rocket robot on wheels, donkey kong 64, banjo kazooie, perfect dark, mario kart 64, 007, clay fighters 64, zelda oot, zelda mm, i guess i can stop there. :) The playstation is my other for 3 reasons final fantasy 7, 8, and 9. Plus spyro, crash, twizted metal, legend of dragoons, lets not forget the remakes t final fantasy 1-6 with cutscenes :) I have to say the gameboy advance is my favorite handheld with golden sun, fire emblem, mario and luigi superstar saga, mario advance 1-4, final fantasy 1-6 remakes, spyro, crash, advance wars the list goes on. Man some great games.

The original Xbox: Nostalgia.

PSVita: Solid hardware capabilities, Bright future if used the right way.

Console: 360, I love it 'cause of Fable and Forza mostly. Those were the games that got into my 360 so much and what made me try new series of games. But also because it was the first console that really got me into gaming. Yeah I had the N64, Gamecube, and PS2. But they never got to stay and play a game for good while, not even just for two hours. But the 360 just got to hooked to it.

Handheld: DS, it has Dragon Quest 9, 999, Professor Layton, The World Ends With You, Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Soul Silver, and Mario Kart. And a hell of a lot more games that I love, but I do feel like the 3ds can take this spot in a few years.

Console: Dreamcast
No contest, the Dreacast was and is special. It was the end of an era and the industry is poorer without Sega hardware.

Handheld: Gameboy (1989)
The first video game system I bought with my own money. So many great games.

PS1, it was the first real system I owned and my first experience with 3D graphics.

PS2, it had a fantasic line up of games which im still collecting for and God of war 1 and 2 and Killzone 1 was awsome.

PS3, Killzone 2 and 3 had me from the start, I still cant stop playing Uncharted and God of war 3, and theres a mass of great titles 2 hit the system in 2013.

As for handhelds ive got a PSP 3002 and a Vita and the original GameBoy  there great systems but I need more time 2 play on them as im more into my PS3 and PS2 but more Vita time is on the cards for 2013, as for my Gameboy I had the Legend of Zelda links awakening it 2 this day is still amazing :)

Console: N64 - Had a really good game library and was awesome for multi-player

HH: GameBoy - Pokemon

Console:
-PS1: First console and loved all the games. During ps2 and early ps3 era I was occupied with pc games and Xbox games mostly, so barely experienced those game...though I think ps3 might become equal to it by the end of the year.

Handheld:
-PSVita: Reminds me of my old GBA days, I used to play that thing over home consoles sometimes, and now I do the same with the PS vita. I'm more of a variety gamer so it doesn't really lack games in my opinion. It is the first handheld where I'm considering getting its version of a game instead of the home console version (sly cooper).

Nintendo DS ~ There are very many games on this system that are worth checking out. It also had a crap-ton of Pokemon. When I was younger all I cared about was Pokemon.... yeah.

Nintendo GameCube ~ It's the GameCube. Period.

Nintendo 64 even though I've had a lot more games for the more recent systems and even for systems before it (I think) I had a lot of fun with it and replayed the same few games to death. I think it had to do with my age, playing my first 3d games on a console and having more freedom of movement and action than former generations.

I can still play Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 to this day and not get bored of them. Goldeneye hasn't aged as gracefully but I put in a lot of hours back in the day, can't play it any more though. I never owned a Playstation and Sega Saturn while I had the N64.

I also still own it back home while on the other hand, I didn't hold on to the Sega Master System, Gameboy, Mega Drive, Game Gear, PS2, PSP, DS or Wii after I moved on. If the next Xbox and PS are backwards compatible won't hold on to the current systems either.
