I am surprised that the N64 is getting so little love in the poll. Maybe there are a bunch of young gamers here? Just look at the lineup. It can't be topped by anything else in the list.

1. Super Mario 64 - Set the gold standard for how 3D gaming should be done.
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Set the gold standard for 3D action-adventure.
3. GoldenEye 007 - Set the gold standard for how FPS should be done on consoles.

Three all-time classics right there. Then comes the icing on the cake.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros
Diddy Kong Racing
Perfect Dark
Mario Kart 64

Throw in the Banjo games, Donkey Kong, 1080, Star Fox, and a bunch of others. Just unbelievable genre defining quality all over the lineup.

I think it might be because some voters, such as myself, don't feel it should be on this list... Most people experienced it while it was out and I've not met anyone that denies it had its gems. Never seemed like an "underrated system" to me.

This is an impossible list anyway, as I've experienced and enjoyed all of these short of the CD-i and vita (of those I experienced the only one I didn't own was the sega master system) and they're all fun and underrated. Enough people here defend the Vita to convince me that it's a solid handheld (the screen is certainly gorgeous) so... Maybe only the CD-i wasn't underrated? Never played it so I wouldn't know.
