What's your favourite Nintendo console?

Many of us here are Nintendo fans. So folks, which one was your favourite?

I'm undecided between the SNES and the GameCube. Both consoles marked Nintendo's priem as far as 2D and 3D gaming goes, respectively, imo.

In 3rd place I'd put the 3DS.

The GBA was also pretty damn good for its time but I missed out on several of its classics, I'm afraid. And the N64, while great for its time, it hasn't aged as well as the SNES and the GC did. Besides most of its best games have been ported/remade in more modern consoles. anyway.

Btw, one rule, focus on EXCLUSIVE games only. Don't use the Virtual Console as an argument for picking Wii, Wii U or the 3DS. Remember those games are originally from other consoles, and some of them not even Nintendo consoles.

EDIT: F*ck wanted to make a poll, but I messed up. Oh well.

The GBA is my favourite with the GameCube in 2nd place. They both had a wide variety of great games.

GameCube on the same level as Wii U, which is also ranked above the N64? And you rank the original Wii above all of them and also above the original DS? And the original Game Boy(I'm guessing you're also including GBC in that?) in 2nd place above every Nintendo console except the SNES? That's really interesting and I dare say a tad unpopular. Could you elaborate? I'm curious.

I've never gotten a Wii U(only domestic Nintendo console I've never owned), so I cant' exactly comment on it. The original Wii is fine for what it is, but I'd take SNES, the GC and N64 in its prime any day as far as Ninty domestic consoles go.

Original Game Boy... what did I even play on that? Black and white Tetris and Super Mario Land? By the time my brother got Pokémon Red we already had Game Boy Color, I think.

The NES still has some games that have aged fairly well such as the 3 SMB games and the Mega Man games, but no way I'd play any of the CastleVania NES games over SCIV or any of the NES Zelda games over ALttP; Ocarina, etc.
