It's funny how people tend to look back on Nintendo consoles with more affection than they had at the time. I loved my SNES but it definitely received the same amount of flak from Sega fanboys that the Wii receives now from those that make up the HD Twin consumer base (but of course there was no internet to make it all quite so absurd back then). I predict the same will be true retrospectively for the Wii somewhere down the line.
OT: I owned a Megadrive and before it a Mastersystem. Megadrive was a very cool system, and Sega had a lot of good games - but comapred to the SNES it really doesn't hold a torch. The amount of sheer joy and pleasure you could get from that one console was magic.
