Can't believe the Wii is beating the N64 in votes :(

I still bust out my N64 from time to time to play it more than 15 years after I got it, while my Wii is now a permanent dust collector. Wii might have been important in catapulting Nintendo back to 1st, but the N64's library shits all over the Wii's library.


This times 100, but to be fair its not like the Wii is that far ahead and SNES is in its rightful spot at least

VERY DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!
For me N64, it was the first console i owned and i became a gamer thanks to it...............but i voted for GC because i think its the most underrated system ever released..........SNES is a classic and also very important..........BUUUF Nintendo FTW!

Good consoles = SNES, Wii, NES
Bad consoles = N64 and GameCube

The N64 had some great games; "some" being the key phrase since it had fewer games than any other major console in history. GameCube just simply has the least interesting lineup of games of any home console that ever sold more than 10 million.

Actually, I want to change my vote to Wii. The SNES was great on paper, but in reality it was heavily flawed due to games being very expensive and very poorly distributed. The Wii has a better selection of SNES titles than the actual SNES.

I think the fact that Wii has access to a library of NES, SNES, and N64 titles; along with Arcade, Sega systems, and TG16, puts it above those three consoles alone. Add to the fact that it essentially forged the biggest genre of this generation (motion games) which took one of the best aspects of the N64 (local multiplayer games) and made it 10 times more popular, and also has what is arguably Nintendo's best single player game (Mario Galaxy 2), and I really think Wii totally dominates (and this is before getting into Wiiware, and the emergence of good online multiplayer in games like Monster Hunter Tri, and the huge number of lesser known gems like Muramasa, Little King's Story, Rune Factory Frontier, Eternal Blue, etc...

I don't get why Wii gets this reputation as a "dust collector." Seriously, there are litterally dozens of games worth checking out on Wii.. And that's just out of the 100 or so Wii games I've played. just gotta seek out the good ones..

For me at least, N64 had a few really great games and not much else, while Wii's lineup has a ton of "good" games, while somewhat lacking in the AAA games.
