POLL: Your Favorite CONSOLE of All Time

[Ljink96]

1.) Gameboy
2.) SNES
3.) Switch
4.) Sega Genesis
5.) PS2

For me, the Gameboy was what got me into gaming and had a slew of amazing titles. It was a really personal device and Link's Awakening at the time, really taught me that games could be so much more than a few minutes of fun, but a huge adventure in the palm of your hands.

SNES is for me, the king of JRPGs. I haven't seen another console receive such amazing JRPGs as SNES. A Link To the Past once again revolutionized the genre and series and still remains one of my favorite games of all time. In terms of home consoles, SNES is definitely the best one for me.

Switch has really gotten up there with the greatest and it's just getting started. Home to my favorite game this generation, its portability and amazing 1st year are nothing to sneeze at and I look forward to the future of the device.

I didn't grow up with a Sega Genesis, I wasn't even born at that time, But eventually I did get a hand me down with Streets of Rage and Sonic the Hedgehog, and even after that I had to use collections to experience a good chunk of the library. It has THE best 2D Platformer ever created, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Ristar, Phantasy Star II and IV, Gunstar Heroes, man so many classics. And when that soundchip was used to the best of its ability, it sounded amazing.

And last, PS2. I was more of a Gamecube kid so I didn't spend much time with the PS2. I eventually got a PS2 Slim and a lot of games from cousins. But the library overall didn't speak to me. The Final Fantasy games weren't for me, wasn't a fan of GTA, Soul Calibur II and III were alright, and the Kingdom Hearts games were good games, again just not for me. Dragon Quest VIII is essentially the main reason I have PS2 on this list, it's still my favorite game of all time (although it might be beaten by XI in september.)

Just thought I'd give some backstory to why I rated in which order.
