Nintendo!

[DylanPPPP]

Easy enough, which Nintendo console was the best in your opinion?!

[Sean Rizzo]

SNES for the win, for me anyway. Great childhood memories. 64 was fun though.

They're all great, but the SNES was my fav.

[slImChanCe]

one word...GoldenEye

[Neo Cassady]

N64, with SNES a close second, and the orig a fairly close third.

[sweepthenation]

Goldeneye + Mario Kart makes this an easy decision

[Star Slight]

NES
Simply for Super Mario Bros. 3, the greatest game of all time.

[me7719]

nes, followed by snes, gamecube, 64, virtual boy, ds, gameboy, getting stabbed, wii.

[jwicklun]

N64. I still have a dear memory when i got that system christmas day. SNES in a close second, and gamecube at third. I highly think the gamecube was underrated.

[seraph1214]

N64, with SNES a close second, and the orig a fairly close third.

Backed.

[Stavie Steelo]

64

[mymusicismylife]

64 all the way. We still bust out Super Smash Bros, Mario Cart, and Golden Eye from time to time.

[xapplexpiex]

N64, then NES

[brandon_260]

Loved my N64, went with that. Although now all I have is Wii

[Yontsey]

I can't believe NES is in third, closely tied for forth. Must be all the young bloods on this site. IMHO, nothing can touch the original NES. Some of the best games ever are on that system. I still play it more then my 360 or my PS3.

[SendALetter]

N64! Jet Force Gemini

[Echo Park]

N64 was the most revolutionary video game system ever. When i first played Mario 64 I was running around a castle doing flips and Mario yelling "yippie." I thought it was the greatest game ever and was content running around that place. Little did I know, until i accidentally jumped off the wall and into a picture did the game really begin. My mind was already blown, I loved everything about that game. It was revolutionary like The Matrix. Never again will I get that feeling because now I expect games to look great...N64 gave me something I didn't expect, plus google wasn't around to give me spoilers.

[TheGuillotine]

SNES! So many good memories - Super Metroid is still BY FAR my favorite game of all time.

[eriatarka24]

N64 <3

[jordalsh]

Banjo Kazooie

[FueledByRock]

N64, no question.

[DylanPPPP]

Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Bros. (Original)
Perfect Dark
Donkey Kong 64
Banjo Kazooie
Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Pokemon Stadium
Super Mario 64!!

Some of the best video games ever made, well excluding two or three, but still! N64 all the way.
Too bad my mother threw mine out when I bought a Gamecube.X-)

[VeryWittyName]

Honestly, I love my Wii, but the N64 has so much nostalgic value to me cause it was pretty much the first console I ever owned, so I had to go with it.

[skrillzzz1109]

If you don't say SNES, you're wrong.

Super Metroid, Final Fantasy II & III, Zelda, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Uniracers, a trillion others.

[abandonship]

Snes

I remember that exact feeling. N64 gets my vote!

While I love N64 it certainly wasn't the most revolutionary.

[gaga_lover]

N64 because of Zelda Ocarina. SNES is second.

[pleasedontpanic]

N64. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Greatest. Video Game. Ever.

[danman]

N64. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Greatest. Video Game. Ever.

Greater than Ocarina?!?! :-0

[pleasedontpanic]

Greater than Ocarina?!?! :-0
By far. Yeah I said it.

[Echo Park]

While I love N64 it certainly wasn't the most revolutionary.
you were 4 or 5 when the system came out, keep your baseless opinions to yourself.

[danman]

By far. Yeah I said it.

How controversial of you. I could argue with you about this forever so I will just respectfully disagree haha.

[jared091]

you were 4 or 5 when the system came out, keep your baseless opinions to yourself.

right, because I don't remember thins from when I was five. But anyway, the base of my opinion is that the Magnavox Odyssey was the first home game console ever that's absolutely more revolutionary than a 3D mario, having video games at home instead of having to go to an arcade. (What?! How could I know about that, it's from the seventies?) Or how about the NES which is the most popular system ever. Or the playstation which came out before N64 and despite being only 32-bit it had a lot of the same capabilities of N64. It also sold way more than the N64 and popularized controls with built in force feedback, the memory card and optical disc as opposed to cartridges. Not saying the N64 doesn't have it's merit but saying its the most revolutionary is a bit much.

your opinion is your opinion, even if it's stupid and wrong. My parents had arcade games in their homes...Not that big of a deal. You're talking complete nonsense, but again, you think what you say is golden. You compared playstation w/ N64 and based your argument by sales-- foolish. Just stop, you were not even old enough to understand the greatness of N64. Keep talking about systems in the"70s" and the playstation controller....:lol:

I don't understand the hostility, I don't think what I say is "golden" I do think I'm right in this case, absolutely I do. Why would I argue my point if I thought I was wrong? Okay, so your parents had arcade games in their home, I'm pretty sure that's not a normal occurrence. I'll give you that basing an argument on sales is somewhat foolish but looking at video game systems I think it's a decent gauge, crappy systems don't do well, Dreamcast, Gizmondo, CD-i. There's no hidden gem systems. And please stop telling me I was too young to understand the greatness of N64, I had one I loved it, My favorite game of all time like many is Ocarina of Time, despite the fact I was 7, I loved the game then and it's held up still after replaying it. But my personal experience or yours doesn't make it the most revolutionary game system of all time. The only thing you've said this whole time is that you loved Super Mario 64 and that I'm too young to understand. That's it. I'm not trying to be confrontational but you've said nothing to try and convince me that I'm wrong. Maybe it's not worth explaining to me because I'm so self righteous or whatever (I honestly don't mean to sound like a dick if I do), but I'd really like to know why you believe that N64 was the most revolutionary system other then your experience with it.

i already thought I explained it. I even compared it to what I believed was a revolutionary movie--The Matrix. N64's graphics and its third dimensional game-play was at the time unheard of, or atleast in the mainstream market. Also, the internet wasn't as robust as it is now, thus information wasn't as easily had. Gaming magazines flourished, many had subscriptions to Nintendo Power and such during the time. Info was limited on systems, we all knew the N64 was coming out, but we didn't know what to expect. There was no google.com. When N64 finally launched it was better than its rivals and clearly its predecessors. Moreover, you mentioned the PlayStation controller. I giggled at that because the N64 neatly brought to mainstream a mini-joystick. Furthermore, the N64 had one of the neatest attachments to be introduced at the time...The Rumble Pack. Now I had a PlayStation, and you mentioned something about shock something, i don't know what you were talking about, but I assure you it was no rumble pack, and if it was, i guarantee the rumble pack was released first. Now the PlayStation had legit games, ie- Final Fantasy 7, but you are right in saying how great Zelda was, but there was also Donkey Kong, Bond, and many many others that's graphics could not be rivaled.
Nintendo has always been known to do something unheard of, with NES you could shoot the screen with Duckhunt, and now the Wii may lack graphics, but it makes up with revolutionary technology- but i digress. You can name another system prior to N64 that you can claim was more revolutionary until the cows come home, but in my opinion N64 was the greatest in my era, and I don't see anything bringing that feeling back to others who have my mindset. Anyone my age and older will agree, I assure you.

[Star Slight]

This could be the dumbest serious argument that I've ever seen on this site.
Congratulations on both sides.

[re7ard1337]

nes, followed by snes, gamecube, 64, virtual boy, ds, gameboy, getting stabbed, wii.

hahaha. i hope someone else caught your subtle humor.

look at the poll dude. it's safe to say you are wrong.

[dave vegan]

The library for SNES is gargantuan. And it has a ton of classics. It may not be as graphically advanced as 64, its library might not be as large as the original NES, but is is the happy medium. Not to mention that most of the best RPGs of all time were released on SNES.

[dave vegan]

look at the poll dude. it's safe to say you are wrong.


Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles#Video_game_co nsoles) on the best-selling consoles of all time. Should settle any further arguments.

[fightinirish217]

64, Mario Kart.

[Paulie4star]

N64, with SNES a close second, and the orig a fairly close third.
Perfect answer.

[pennie]

Snes

[ScarletGrove]

N64! Jet Force Gemini


This.


Also, nice avatar.. I am from the D as well.

[HoldThatSound]

n64. then gamecube., windwaker is the best game ever

[frenchatticus]

I loved SNES, it was my first console and Donkey Kong Country is still my favorite game ever to this day. But I have to go with N64, easily. I also enjoy intense Super Smash Brawl matches with my buds on Wii.

[g319]

super tecmo bowl

[White]

Metroid Prime + Star Fox Adventures (Dinosaur Planet) + SSB Melee = Cube ftw.

[aradiantsunrise]

Definitely N64. SNES is second for me.

[Vince Early]

N64, easily the most durable system I have ever purchased. Mine has gone through hell and it still works, not to mention GoldenEye is one of the greatest games to grace the video game world.

[xRadioJoyx]

i got a wii last year for my birthday and i played it about 10 times and got bored of it. i got my first 64 so long ago i can't even remember and i still play it regularly. pokemon stadium :D

[MADSTA]

N64 had all the best games. I do love my wii though.

[imtellingseb]

nothing brings back good memories like the snes!

[DooDooBird]

If you don't say SNES, you're wrong.

Super Metroid, Final Fantasy II & III, Zelda, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Uniracers, a trillion others.

I agree.

add Earthbound, Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Star Fox, Turtles In Time, Mario All Stars, Illusion of Gaia, Sim City, Mystical Ninja, Harvest Moon, Tetris Attack, F-Zero, Street Fighter II, Mario Kart, Super Punch Out, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Griffey, the Donkey Kong Countries, Secret of Mana...

Holy fucking shit there are tons of good games for that system.

Even Disney games (that are crap these days) were baller on SNES. Aladdin, Mickey's Magical Quest, Goof Troop, Jungle Book.

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

Easily N64 or SNES for me in terms of amount of fun I had + nostalgia, but in terms of innovation and replayability and whatnot, easily the Wii. The Cube was always a good time too. Nintendo just all around rocks, I guess.

[Argentine]

N64 was the first gaming system I ever had. Fanboy...:bowdown:

[BoysNightOutie]

N64. Ocarina of Time seals the deal for me. Star Fox 64 was also amazing. When I was a young one I had Genesis however I can say easily thanks to emulation and Chrono Trigger, Snes is a close second. Wii would be great if they replaced motion controls with HD graphics. I could care less if I can simulate fishing as Link if he looks rad in 1080p.

[domotime2]

obvious poll is obvious.

N64...SNES...NES....then who cares. N64 is the best console ever and it will be nearly impossible to replicate such an awesome force that is n64. The controller = perfect, grips to the hand like a glove. The games = epic, unforgettable. the set up = simple, impossible to damage a game or at the very least, give it a little blow and then poof its okay.

SNES was great too..but n64 was a BETTER version of it.

[New Found Nick]

Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark both changed and revolutionized the face of FPS gaming which therefore makes the N64 the superior system.

[Deadbolt23]

ps1

[pnkhrdwndr]

I say n64 but I never a nes or snes. Gamecube has some awesome games, wii not so much

[billyboatkid]

SNES

No contest.

[BozzBlonde]

Snes.

[BozzBlonde]

ps1

Oh dang. I see what you did there.

[steveC]

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye...

unquestionably N64

[Sloth7]

N64. I still have a dear memory when i got that system christmas day. SNES in a close second, and gamecube at third. I highly think the gamecube was underrated.


I was just thinking how vividly I remember how excited I was on Christmas day when I saw the N64 too. I think I played Super Mario 64 nonstop the entire school break.

The original NES gets a very close second for me.

[SmeezyBeezy]

N64! Jet Force Gemini

That game was so sick. Eternal Darkness for Gamecube is also one of the better games of all time, not related to your post, just had to throw it out.

[spansen]

n64!

[stevieeatworld]

im a sports gamer, and SNES had NHL94! and probably the best lineup of sports games on any Nintendo console

SNES < NES < N64 <NGC

[tkamB]

1. N64
2. SNES
3. Wii
4. NES
5. GCN

[aboyandhiscurse]

fuck anyone that voted wii. for serious.

[kbi the crowing]

SNES will forever be my favorite Nintendo platform (at least as of now).


& seriously guys, Golden Eye isn't that good. I respect it for it's major contribution to gaming, but still.

[beazer32]

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye...

unquestionably N64

this this this.

[3GunGaz]

SNES for me...

But obviously Goldeneye nearly won it for the N64 on it's own.... every single other game let it down (exaggeration)

[yayitsjoe]

i only had a snes. and a gameboy. for stuff from nintendo.

had to go with snes, obviously.

but i am still ridiculously jealous that my friends grew up playing goldeneye, mario 64 and whatnot.

[Alexx Miller]

one word...GoldenEye

Yuhhhhhhhp!

[LobeyJuice]

I may be a son of a bitch, but I love the original Gameboy.

[Hamburglar]

No fucking contest. N64.


Mario Kart. Fuck Yeah.
Mario 64. Fuck Yeah.
GoldenEye. FUCK YEAH.
Smash Bros. Fuck Yeah.
Perfect Dark. Fuck Yeah.
Star Fox. Fuck Yeah.

[zachff]

64

Starfox and GoldenEye are all I need
