Overrated console. Plus Turbo-Graphx 16 wasn't even listed to vote for, an arguably better 16 bit system than the SNES. Compare the Turbo Graphx-16 versions of Castlevania: Dracula X and the Ys series with the versions on SNES or other competitor consoles and then tell me that Turbo-Graphx 16 is not the best.

I can't believe the Snes beat the Nes. Et tu Brute?

Games like Bonk's Adventure looked more like its NES counterpart than a SNES game. Plus the game's library of the Turbo-Graphx 16 is not comparable to the SNES one.

Congratulations Super Nintendo.

Sorry Infinity, but I'm gonna have to second atma's opinion.  Sure the TG-16 has some great hidden gems in its library, but overall it can't hold a candle to the SNES', hell even the Genesis' library.

Not to mention the fact that the 2 games you mentioned in your post required the expensive and hard-to-find Super CD add-on or Turbo Duo to play.  And aside from the enhanced Redbook CD audio in each game, the visuals are just about on par with the average SNES game... well, at least in Dracula X's case... Ys Books I and II just looks like an NES game visually speaking,  and Ys III is on par with the SNES version visually.

Games like the DKC series, FFIII (VI for the fanboys), Yoshi's Island, Killer Instinct etc., put the TG-16/CD to shame, and they didn't require expensive add-ons to play in the first place!

Oh, and congrats to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System!!!

Even though some consoles had deserved to last a little bit longer Super Nintendo is worthy of the nr 1 spot. That said, I have to play Star Ocean.

I haven't played Yoshi's Island, but the other games were not outstanding compared to even the Tubochip games on TG16. And again, TG16 wasn't even available to vote on in this elimination game. I strongly disagree that the SNES had visuals as good as the TG16 games. Look at the TG16 Dracula X compared to the SNES Dracula X for crying out loud. The TG16 Dracula X is to date THE BEST Castlevania ever. Visually, music wise, gameplay wise, character wise, and story wise. The SNES Dracula X was THE WORST Castlevania ever, even worse than the GBA ones. Super Castlevania IV is ok, but is this remake of the old NES Castlevania the best Nintendo can offer? Yes the CD add on was expensive, but I am more arguing apples to apples than value. Console versus console the Turbo-Graphx 16 wins hands down. And if you haven't played the TG16, stay out of this conversation.

I HAVE played the TG-16, both back in the day (my cousin owned one) and I've dowloaded a couple of games like Ys and Soldier Blade (one of my fav 'shmups) on the Virtual Console.  We used to play games like Splatter House, Real Sports Football or whatever it was called, the Bonk games, etc.  It was great back when he first picked one up in 1990, but then I got the SNES a year later and he followed suit and the Turbo ended up collectiong dust.

And I agree that the TG-16 should have been on the list, though I'm not sure if you could have voted it in or if the list was final (most other lists like this you can do that).  And you're right that the Turbo CD's Rondo of Blood is far superior to Dracula X on SNES, but i wasn't necessarily comparing it to the SNES Castlevanias, just SNES games in general.  And Nintendo wasn't responsible for that, that would be Konami who developed the game and made the quick port to cash in on the Castlevania name here in the West.  And after Dracula X, they turned their attention to the PS1 for Symphony of the Night, so the only exclusive Castlevania that the SNES recieved was IV, which was a launch title yet still looked better than most games in the Tg-16's library.

YEAH!!

For me the SNES is the best console of all time
