What do people think is the best "slim" re-release to date?  For that matter, has a list of them ever been compiled?  From my research (please fill in any gaps) I've come up with the following list*:

Mattel Intellivision II (1982)

Atari 2600 Jr. (1986)

Sega Master System II (1990)

Commodore 64 GS (1990) (a gaming-only "slim" version of the C64, which I included here as many people bought the C64 as a game system)

Nintendo NES-101 "top-loader" (1993)

JVC Wondermega/Sega Genesis II/Sega CD II/Sega CDX (1992-4)

Nintendo SNS-101 (SNES 2) (1997)

Sega Genesis 3 (1998) (a third-party release, but done under licence from Sega so I count it)

Sony PSone (2000)

Sony Slimline PS2 (2004)

PS3 Slim (2009)

Xbox 360 S (2010)

PS3 Super Slim (2012)

Wii Mini (2012)

Xbox 360 E (2013)

Xbox One S (2016)

PS4 Slim (2016)

I suppose "best" is relative.  Is best the one that added the most features?  The one that reduced the space and/or mass the most?  The one that was the most attractive?  Let's discuss!  :)

* When a system had different names around the globe, I generally favoured the North American name as it's the single-biggest game console market.  For the year listed, I used it's first release even if it was a limited one (such as the Wii Mini which was only released in Canada in 2012, before a wider release in 2013).
