Out of the ones I've actually played (never tried Virtual Boy or Gameboy Advance) its the Wii without a doubt. I loved the N64, it ranks among my top three console of all time, the Gamecube was also really cool and had some great games, the fact that it was ugly didn't hinder me in enjoying the games.

As a gamer who started on the SNES, then moved onto the N64, the GCN almost made me lose faith in Nintendo. Retro saved them from being a complete bust that gen though, Metroid Prime was amazing at least.



Overall I'd say the Gameboy since the only notable games I had for it were Pokémon and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.

Wii would be my home console choice though. Fierce competition from the Xbox 360 left it in the dust most of the time. Games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 still made a great impact though.



The CD-i :P



How could anyone vote anything over the Virtual Boy. Poll is either full of idiots, trolls or other systems fanboys.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

NES. Really. There's not a single game in that console that interests me except Zelda II and Super Mario Bros 3.



I have to go with the Wii, ive bought every console Nintendo has brought out and the only one where i feel as though i just dont have as much fun on was the Wii all because of those motion controls and no HD hit it hard twoards the end of its life cycle least for me (this might would have changed if they done like the Wii U and had other means of playing their game with an real controller)

 

Oh dont get me wrong the Virital Boy nowadays is the worst system Nintendo has put out but when i got it as a kid i didnt know that at the time so im going with the Wii since i am old enough now to understand that.

Alternately, people who never even saw a Virtual Boy in real life. I have literally never even heard of anyone I know even knowing someone who knew someone who actually owned one. Its a really obscure item, among the most obscure in gaming history and is believed to have sold between 500k and one million worldwide. I've never come across anyone who owned a Dreamcast or Sega Saturn either, both of those moved about 10 million units.

Stop making this about fan wars, the Virtual Boy is likely utter crap but why should people vote for things they never tried or even saw just because it offends you personally? Its like me saying that "the Dacia Sandero is my least favourite car of all time, I have never driven one or seen one, but still, I hear its horrible". Should we also downvote movies we heard were shit when we never saw them or even know someone who did?

Get a grip, man.

For me, the N64 is the best console Nintendo ever made, followed by NES, SNES, Gamecube and the handhelds, never liked the handhelds. The Wii is my least favourite of all time, simply because of the direction it took, the lack of proper implementation of the Wii-mote in the vast majority if games, the really weak 3rd party library, the poor hardware, poor connectivity and UI, lack of media functionality, the extreme cost of peripherals and extra controllers, the games that never dropped in price, the lack of catching new IP's for me (Wii series is hardly my avenue). The console itself also remained quite expensive for my taste, considering what one got in the actual bundle.

As for the illusive Virtual Boy, I'm quite sure it was a disaster but I still never played one or even saw one in real life. I strongly doubt that 26 people who voted Virtual Boy has actually tried the thing, given the number of units sold, the number of responses and views on the thread, the number of voters in the poll and the amount of active users and even lurkers with users in here, statistics are very much against it. Voting for something you never tried simply because you've heard that its shit, making it your "least favourite", now that's a whole other kind of silly in my opinion.

ThIS! except for the N64 part, it was good, but SNES takes it for me.



I guess I am the only one that loves the Wii -.-
