SNES for old school, X-box for current.

[That Matt Guy]

The one and only, NES

[Leo656]

I think the SNES is probably the overall best game system of all time. It had the widest selection of good games out of any console in history, and that includes the PS and PS2, who have a pretty weak "good games/crap games ratio overall, meaning that even though there are a ton of good games you have to wade through a virtual ocean of crap to find them. I think the SNES was the only system that had a wide selection of good games over bad ones, and literally had something for everyone. Action, platformers, sports games, RPGs, fighting games, wrestling games.... the SNES had it all.

As for currently, it's too close to call for me between the PS2 and Gamecube, but I begrudgingly give the nod to the PS2 because most of the GC's best games come from Nintendo themselves (as opposed to the PS2, where Sony's "989 Studios" turn out almost entirely crap but their 3rd party stuff is their strength).

Console? Gamecube, but nothing is better than a computer, and cable internet connection. :D

[Leo656]

Maybe, but some of us are reclusive and don't have any interest whatsoever in online gaming and never will.

That's why it doesn't break my heart that the 'Cube isn't online compatible. It's like "who cares?" Can't play Zelda, Mario, or Wrestlemania online after all :D

5.What does "SNK" stand for?

[Kid Icarus]

hands down ps2!!!!!!! because of mgs2 abd the grand theft auto's!
ya!!!!!!!!!!

I can get MGS:TTS ONLY on my 'Cube (add in the fact that Mr. Miyamoto is helping, and Silicon Knights is doing the work on it...), and I can get the GTA games on my PC ;)

For me, its a toss up between SNES, Genesis, and GCN, with SNES in first by a hair.

off topic: there was a game for SNES by Lucas Arts about this kid who had this green puddle of acid/slime/goop/ooze stuff and you were stopping an alien invasion thing..... anyone know what game that is? I loved it, but I can't remember the name.

1.List ALL the Nintendo home consoles?
NES, that robot thing for the NES, SNES, satelite thing for SNES, Virtual Boy (not exactaly a console, but it wasn't really portable), N64, N64DD, and GCN, maybe the Panasonic Q and the CDi, but those dont really count.

2.What was the first '64 bit' home console? I think it was the Atari Jaguar, but I'm not too sure.

[Sparvid]

Genesis!

My hands don't hurt at all when I play SP.

[Phoenix Fire]

For me its the games that make the system, and because of that I would have to say gamecube. Gamecube has amazing games and developers thru nintendo, and the look of the system is too me far more appealing then PS2 or my X-Box which has its own zipcode. The wireless controllers for GCN are nice too, and I find myself choosing a game for GCN if its on a multiple system release simply because its more comfortable. And the fact that the new TMNT game has some sort of connectivity to my gameboy advance SP for hidden features seals the deal with me! :D
