Hard to say. I really like this one a lot, and I have yet to go beyond the DSWii combo. DS FF remmakes and Wii VC have certainly added a lot for me, along with Layton, Phoenix Wright, health games, and more. Last generation seemed kind of weak, all I had was a PS2 and over half of what I played were PSX games.
The previous generation, if you tag on Dreamcast, was my favourite. While it started off weak in 94, the SNES started having classics pumped onto it including DKC 1-3, Kirby Superstar, FF6, Earthbound, Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound (I even got the version released with one of the giant pamphlet manuals), and more; these games weren't really 16-bit games anymore even though they ran on that hardware, they were the start of the pre-rendered 24-bit graphics era which was huge on PSX. Meanwhile we got Resident Evil. The transition kind of occurred around Harvest Moon (SNES), GE007 (007) and Wild Arms (PSX) where I started to actually play the systems of the generation more.
The end of it I see as being when Skies of Arcadia was released. It was the end of a Golden Era. Luckily, Skies of Arcadia turned out to be one of the greatest experiences a gamer could have. Final Fantasy 10 was well done, but it lacked the open freedom of Skies of Arcadia, there was much less to do, much less to explore at will. Final Fantasy 12 managed to have a huge world, but it was a game about grinding and there were large gaps of nothingness that didn't need to be there. Last generation was the first time I felt games had peaked.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
