I'm surprised that the NES isn't steamrollering this more. I think the best N consoles were NES/SNES/GameBoy/3DS/Wii/Switch. If we don't go for a handheld then the choice is between NES and Wii

The NES was a generation's introduction to gaming and to Nintendo, but I feel like those who grew up after it either mostly never experienced it, or found it hard to get into compared to newer consoles because of how it has aged, similar to how a lot of folks who grew up in the 21st century find the N64's early 3D hard to stomach.

The difference is that the N64 experience represents the early era of 3D graphics whereas the NES was already a big jump in 2D.  The more accurate comparison to PS/N64's early 3D would be Atari with early 2D, which hasn't aged even a modicum as well as the NES.
