Best Game System Ever

[animex09]

NINTENDO 64 FTW!!!! there's is no video game system more widely know as this. Just about everyone I know has or had one including myself. Though new ones came out, the 64 will be a legend...long live 64!!

SNES. It's possibly the only console ever that managed to be a master in every genre applicable to it. Platformers, RPGs, scrolling shoot-em-ups, adventure, etc.

Platformers: Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Kirby Super Star, Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Mega Man X, Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, Super Castlevania IV, Super Return of the Jedi

RPGs: Final Fantasy 6 (3), Secret of Mana, EarthBound, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Evermore, Breath of Fire II.

Action-Adventures: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid.

Fighters: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (best version), Killer Instinct, Ultimate Mortal Kombat III.

Scroling Shoot-em-ups: Gradius III, Axelay, R-Type III, Super R-Type, Smash TV.

Other stuff that doesn't warrant a genre grouping: Kirby's Dream Course, Star Fox, Super Mario Kart, SimCity, Super Bomberman 2.


...and more, of course. This is just an attempt at a small list of favorites that I have on the SNES. It's clearly a beast when it comes to great games.

I noticed a lot of people in this thread naming the N64. Strangely, I was never able to love that console as much as other people. Sure, it's got the 3D Zeldas and a handful of good platformers (Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day), but overall it's really lacking in other genres. There's no decent scrolling shoot-em-ups, no decent RPGs (ouch!), etc. In fact, I can only really think of 20 or so really good N64 games whereas I can come up with around 80 really good SNES games. It's a real shame that the N64 was so inflexible...everyone just wanted 3D platformers and adventures...and that's mostly all they got.

Wow, great post.
And thats why i choose SNES on my list too. It have so much more games that i love than the N64. And if were gonna talk about what's inside the console then PS3 or 360 will win. But as far as games go.... SNES does it all. If i had to chose 1 console for the rest of my life it'd be a SNES.

[animegurl7]

my top 3 would be- psp, ps3 and 360

sega dreamcast to ahead of its time

Yes the SNES is an extremely close second for me, so very many great games, N64 just beat it out on my list because we never had a SNES when I was growing up playing games, we skipped straight from the NES to N64, so it carries a certain nostalgia factor.

On another note a lot of you people are just naming systems with no reasons. Shame on you.

Really? That's a weird console to name as the best...ahead of its time maybe, but that doesn't make up for the fact that there's only 5 or so good exclusives for it. And most were only good. Not great. The only games on the Dreamcast that I thought were "great" were Ikaruga, Street Fighter III: The Third Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Jet Grind Radio. And...wouldn't you know it, most of those are available on other consoles, at cheaper prices and with better controllers to play them with.

I will admit that the Dreamcast isn't terrible, but I find it strange that anyone would completely overlook the plain fact that there aren't very many good games for it (and in fact, not very many games at all).

As for its other "amazing" features, the online on it is gone now, and I'd rather use something else to play my CDs, very much.
