It's the Wii U , imo, Gamecube was more deserving of it's low sales, but is second most underrated.

Just saw the poll and the N64 got lots of love in the gaming community now. It's my first console but maybe it was just underrated back in the day though.

I'm surprised GameCube is winning. Must be a lot of people who were kids during that generation. As an older Nintendo fan during that era, the GameCube seriously sucked.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Gamecube. Definitely.

Going by your list I'd say:

1. N64
2. Wii U
3. Gamecube
4. Dreamcast

(Can't really judge the others since I don't own them nor did I play with them.)

Wooooah! Everything > Dreamcast!? Didn't expect that from you.

OT: Wish I could own(ed) all those consoles. Only have a Wii U from that list. So I'll go by my most wanted one: GameCube! Just for the fact it had Melee, but it also had Mario Kart DD, Metroid Prime 1+2, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin 1+2, Wind Waker, and RE4. I wanna get all those games.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Definitely the Gamecube for me; my third favorite console of all time. WiiU will probably finish right behind it as my second best underrated console; so many great games.

And if we count entire libraries (i.e. imports), I'd also give a nod to the Saturn and the TurboGrafx16 (PC Engine).

N64, people claim it is a failure but as someone who was around during its time, I can attest the N64 was the best multiplayer console of its era, from Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros, Mario Party, the WCW/WWE wrestling games, to Goldeneye 007/Perfect Dark, or even lesser known gems like Bomberman 64, the amount of fun that could be had with the system is well underrated.

As good as the GC was, I still hold he N64 and its classics as the last great Nintendo console.

Vita is so underrated it needed two choices on the poll n_n

Gamecube, Xbox, and Dreamcast were all amazing but they had to go up against the best system ever made and get overshadowed.



jetforcejiminy on 25 January 2015

right now (jan. 2015):
1. dreamcast
2. wii u
3. gamecube

a year or two from now (with xcx, zelda, yoshi and starfox released + metroid on the way):
1. wii u
2. dreamcast
3. gamecube



PixelPerfect on 25 January 2015

1. N64
2. Gamecube
3. Dreamcast

I'd also put Vita since I've enjoyed playing on my friend's but I don't have one to finalize my opinion.
