What, in your opinion is the most unerrated console of all time?

Even though I don't own one, I think Sega Saturn is severly underrated. Yes it wasn't a 3-d powerhouse but when there were games that were made to show off the system's 2-d capability they looked gorgeous. Examples would be Astal or Albert's Odyssey. 

I also think the OG Xbox is a little bit underappreciated. I think it is unfairly thought of as just a Halo box but there were alot of other great games on it too. Exclusives like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Otogi, Oddworld Abe's Odyssey, the original Forza, and Jet Set Radio Future aren't talked about enough when discussing the original Xbox. it also really pushed online gaming and I'm also pretty sure it was also the first console to have a hard drive in it. 

But what do you think?

 

EDIT: By underrated I mean you think it doesn't get enough love from gamers, or is just underappreciated. Hence why I didn't put Dreamcast in poll as it gets nothing but love.



Around the Network

Neo Geo AES



WIIU



I'd say GameCube, most of the best/iconic games that we know today from Nintendo started/made a big jump thanks to the GC, just think about Melee, Luigi's Mansion and F-Zero GX



Wii. People dismiss it because, casuals, but it has plenty of quality games, just hidden in between the shovelware.

I really liked the Sega GameGear



I don't think, the gamecube is underrated. Sure, it didn't sell well but i know many people including me who call it the best Nintendo System yet. I'm not really into older consoles like the Master System etc. so i can just talk about newer systems. Of those, i would say the Wii U. So many people call this console mediocre, it's not even funny. However, many of Nintendo's franchises have peaked on the Wii U imo. MK8, DKCTF, SSB4 etc.

I don't think Wii is underrated, since it is the best-selling 7th gen console, and some of it's games are universally acclaimed.

Maybe NEO-GEO or Sega Saturn.



Tempted to say OG Xbox, but probably Wii U.

Honestly the only thing keep me from buying is the dumb gamepad. The games look rockin'.

Dreamcast, that bitch had better graphics than PS2.
