Really Wii is wining?

I voted NES because Virtual Boy would have been too easy of an answer. Gamecube was my second choice.

NES was before my time, and looking at it, I think most of the games sucked on it. I'm not a fan of 2D Mario's, Metroid 1 can be completed in less then an hour no problem, and nothing really felt like a game as we see it now, but more as a distraction. Plus most NES games had no save function, and while other franchises like Final Fantasy and Zelda were good on the NES (Which had save functions), they got A LOT better with time.

Gamecube was pretty bad because I saw a lot of great Nintendo games get ruined on it. While good games, Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine were just not as good as their predecessors/successors, and Mario Kart DD and Mario Party almost through me off Nintendo entirely. StarFox Assault furthured that push. However there were a few gems, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, Tales of Symphonia, Smash Bros. and F-Zero GX still made the Cube a good console.

However after the Gamecube I almost left Nintendo. I stopped playing handhelds for a few years, I didn't pick up a Wii until I got sick of my 360/PS3 and Smash Bros/Metroid Prime 3/ and upcoming Pikmin 3 looked too enticing. Glad I bought the Wii though, almost every franchise saw one of their best iterations on the Wii. Amazing Super Mario Galaxy games, Amazing Zelda's, JRPG's which we haven't seen so well made since the SNES era, and well yea. Just wish there was more, like a Pikmin, and maybe a good Mario Party.

Everything else I loved, especially the GBA/SNES/N64

IMO Wii is winning because it is the object of focus for anti Nintendo folks.  How could an underpowered cheap gimmicky casual device take victory of the 7th gen.  As to metroid 1, if you where an 8 yr with out a strategy guide it would take you weeks.  But hey you had o be there I guess :)
