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.

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 :)

Maybe, but I beat Metroid 1 without a strategy guide in I believe 20-30 minutes when I was 13 and Metroid Prime released (had the GBA-GCN cable, which unlocked Metroid 1 when you own Prime and Fusion). I just don't think Metroid 1 was as good of a game for the time as something like Metroid Prime/Super/Fusion were. Plus the GBA/GCN/Wii saw two Metroid games, not just one.

Also I love Zelda's for NES, especially Zelda 2. I think they are highlights for the system. This I agree with, I had to be there for because I really love the GB/GBC Zelda's and if I were to play them now, I wouldn't show the same affection.

The biggest problem with the NES for me was the no save options. Since I came to the NES after the fact, that standard in gaming also became my standard and it's hard to live without.

Also compared to other systems, I don't think NES games aged well (specifically because of the lack of a good story and memory). RPG's primed on the SNES and PS1, and N64 has a lot of great party games. I mean I beat Chrono Trigger in 2003, and it's one of my favorite games ever. 2 generations later and nearly a decade and it's my favorite RPG ever. I just can't picture a NES game ever doing that to me, I can't see anything pre 1990 hooking me like a good SNES/PS1 RPG. Heck I'm pretty hooked on Lunar: Silver Star Harmony and that's originally a 1994 Sega CD game right?
