NES. Hands down.
It was the system I grew up with, my first console being Atari 2600, but NES was when I really "fell in love" with video games, instead of just thinking they were neat. The first time I saw/played Super Mario Bros., I was hooked. So nostalgia plays a big part into it. And the SNES certainly deserves it's kudos, it was definitely THE system to own for classic rpgs and fighting games. But NES was bad ass. There are just so many great games on it, and so many franchises that started on it/got big on it, that it's kind of absurd.

It was all around just a great system, and for my money, it's still the greatest console that was ever made.
