Still my pick for the greatest video game system of all time.
So many amazing games; Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Starfox, F-Zero, A Link to the Past...
Its colourful 2D pixel art still looks great today, its sound capabilities are sufficient to create fantastic music that has stood the test of time, and the controller is a triumph of both form and function that set the standard for the industry. The console itself looks sleek, sturdy, and classy, (the PAL version, anyway, the US version does look kinda arse) and there are no load times, no hour-long day 1 patches or mandatory installs, or any of the fluff and bullshit of modern gaming.
