| The_Liquid_Laser said: For basically every generation it's Nintendo + one other system. Even DS + PSP makes a pretty good pairing. In Generation 3, all you really needed was a NES. But for most generations after that it's Nintendo + whatever the other big system is (e.g. SNES + Genesis). |
Pairing Nintendo and another console is pretty much the best recipe if you can only pick two from SNES/Super Famicom and Mega Drive/Genesis onward.
In the second generation, you'd mostly be set with Atari 2600/VCS and in the third generation just NES/Famicom.
I'm talking home consoles or a hybrid like Switch or Switch 2 mind you. Because in the seventh generation if we count all systems then it made sense to have at least two home consoles and at least one handheld. And you could argue that for other generations too.
