The best, in my opinion, is SNES. But my personal favorite is N64.

It was relatively weak in terms of fighters and RPGs, but it more than made up for it with a great collection of platform, action-adventure, racing, and shooting games. 

It would be hard to find a system with a better roster of 3D platform games. There's Super Mario 64, arguably the best ever made, plus Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie (years ahead of its time), Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64, and Rayman 2. For shooters, there's GoldenEye 007, which proved the viability of first-person shooting games on home consoles, plus Perfect Dark, the Turok series, Jet Force Gemini, Rogue Squadron, Star Fox 64, and Sin & Punishment. In the action-adventure category there's Majora's Mask, Body Harvest, Resident Evil 2, and Ocarina of Time, arguably the best game ever made. Finally, under the racing banner, there's Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Wipeout 64, Extreme-G, F-Zero X, and World Driver Championship.

The high quality and replay value of these games, among others, plus Nintendo's commitment to four-player multiplayer, earn N64 the crown.
