Your Favorite Nintendo Console?

I think a lot of this depends on what age you were at the time. Of course, the correct answer is the SNES. At the time, it had:
-Top notch technology
-Amazing third party support
-Innovations on top of innovations (Mouse support, Super Scope, SFX Chip)
-The absolute best games in every genre (except sports but they did have most of what Sega had)

It was Nintendo console at its best and we've never seen that since. N64 suffered software droughts from day one to the day it died (not to mention the outdated cartridge format that pretty much assured Sony would win the gen). Gamecube suffered from lack of third party support and a kiddie image (as well as atrocious design. A purple cube. Seriously?). Wii lacked the processing power to impress when compared to the competition. With the SNES, Nintendo did everything right and those that owned one at the time knew beyond a doubt that they owned the best system on the market, bar none.

Unless you lived in Europe, in which case Nintendo says a big fuck you. It was released a year later compared to NA, and we didn't even get half the games. Remember Final Fantasy 6 (released as 3 on the SNES)? You know when Europe got it? Let me tell you: It never did. And hundreds of other games received delayed releases and that's even if they were released at all.

 

I'm voting Gamecube all the way. It was the first gen that Nintendo remembered that gamers actually existed in Europe.  Oh we still got shafted, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't as bad as before. Wii has very few good games as far as I'm concerned and gets few releases compared to NA still. It's by no means a favorite of mine.
