That is what I have been saying.  You have to chose if you are making a top ten list based on how much fun they were to play during their lifecycle or how much fun they are to play today.  A list of the later wouldn't make much sense because most of the consoles on this list would be from this generation or the last.

It all boils down to personal opinion. If someone has loved the NES since its inception, and continues to enjoy playing NES games today, why would it be wrong to rate it above recent consoles?

PS3, 360 and Wii might be the "best" in terms of capabilities, but that doesn't mean that they should automatically be at the top of someone's "personal top consoles" list.

I really don't care any generation before the Gamecube era because that's before my time. (this is why virtual console rules!) Though I have to say from my collection GC

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Hmmm.

10. 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. As high as it's initial price tag is, the 3DO had some really good ports of PC games of the time such as Star Control II, Alone in the Dark, Wing Commander III, Wolfenstein 3D, Space Hulk, Myst, etc. It also has the best version of Road Rash as well as the only version of Samurai Shodown of the time that retains all characters, blood, fatalities, & the graphics. The 3DO even has the only home console port of Super Street Fighter II Turbo at one point. Other games worth checking out include but not limited to: Gex, Need for Speed, The Horde, Captain Quazar, Return Fire, Pyramid Intruder (JPN-Only), John Madden Football, Crash 'N Burn, Guardian War, Total Eclipse, Lucienne's Quest, etc.

9. Sega Dreamcast. The only Sega system that I liked a lot besides the Saturn. Genesis was ok, but nothing special.

8. Super Nintendo

7. PC Engine. How can people forget about a system that has one of the most successful CD add-ons & also has an impressive game library to boot?

6. Gameboy Advance

5. Gamecube. It was a fun system, but I didn't have as much fun with it as I did with the Nintendo 64.

4. Neo Geo. Some of my favorite games have originally came out for this system. Neo Geo CD has some of the best CD Quality music that I've ever heard.

3. Nintendo DS. So many games to choose from, so little time & money.

2. Nintendo 64. My favorite systems when I was a young child.

1. Nintendo Wii. In a few years, the Wii will probably have one of most impressive game libraries that I've ever seen.

 

Hmm. Am I the only one here that prefers the PC Engine to the Super NES?

1. PS2 - Amazing library, and since I never owned a PS1 I has the chance to play a ton of older games.
2. SNES - Super Mario All Stars, Aerobiz, Top Gear, Death and Return of Superman, TMNT, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Rock N Roll racing are just a few games I enjoyed
3. N64 - Great 4 player local multiplayer and a pretty good library of games. Mario Kart battle mode > all. Goldeneye was amazing as well.
4. NES - I remember playing Eliminator Boat Duel and Mario at my uncle's house and when I eventually got my own it was pretty amazing.

 

 only other consoles I own outside those are a PS3 and GC.



Demon's Souls Official Thread  | Currently playing: Left 4 Dead 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Magicka

If a person enjoys playing NES games today, that can be attributed to nostalgia.  That would mean their list would be based on #1 of those two possibilities mentioned earlier.

I, personally, would put NES or SNES as my #1 console.
