If you had just one console....
 

What would it be? You get the entire library that is able to be played on that console so if its backwards compatable you get those if it plays dvd or blu rays you get those....


For me I would have to choose PS2

If we can choose modded consoles it would be my XBOX... I can play all the old school nes, snes, master system, genesis, gameboy, gamegear, ps1, dvds, arcade games...

Buy Silver Surfer

An old school ps3 with backwards compatibility. Love the exclusive ps3 games, and may love the exclusive ps2 games even more. With the Metal Gear Solid trilogy by my side, I could be gaming forever on that console. Throw in Shadow of the Colossus, Demons Souls, and Ninja gaiden sigma, and I'm a happy camper.

Honestly. My 360. It's the only console I use on the regular anyway.

Super Nintendo. Only console I play anyway.

Nintendo Wii. With all the VC games and all my Gamecube games im happy.

I'd say SNES but most of the games I enjoy (sans Turtles In Time) are on the Wii VC, so I guess I'd go with the Wii.
I could always run roms oh it anyways.

My trusty GameCube.

I guess I'd have to stick with the 360 right now. When I get sick of it, I can go play my PC, which isn't technically a console. Hahahahahehehehahahahohohohoho.

Take it back to the Sega Genesis.

Wii. Brawl and Streets of Rage 2 alone would suffice if I really had to narrow it down.

I have always loved my old dreamcast.

I do only have one console, and it's the Wii. Games, VC, WiiWare, and Netflix, keeps me busy enough. If I had more systems I'd never get anything done.

I guess I would go with PS2. Great library of games to keep me going forever.

A mega-powered PC with all the best emulation software and USB adapters for all the traditional controllers.

So much cheating in here.

Honestly, I don't know what I'd pick. I love my 360, but I'd really miss Nintendo games. And I'd really miss some of the great stuff on the Sony consoles. I honestly don't know. Maybe I'd just take the PS2 and P3FES/P4 and call it a day.

My SNES is still in working order, and to be honest, I've never been great at new games. Love my SNES...so it.

Wii, as long as I can get my hands on a Zelda game im good :D

The Nintendo Wii for me.

PS3 with backwards compatability and a manually installed 200 gig hard drive.... which is what I have. Full library of PS1, PS2, and PS3 games at my disposal, plus it's a neat blu-ray player too.

I sometimes play my Wii, but not often. My 360 I've owned for two years and played it maybe two or three times ever.

Man that is a hard choice. But i guess i should be one of the cartrigde based consoles. I will go with sega megadrive (genesis) and something portable the sega nomad. But i love each console i have.

backward Ps3

or maybe NES since mine works perfectly

This is really hard. I'm stuck between XBOX 360, where I have so many games and what I play a lot, or the Nintendo Wii, with games like Resident Evil, Legend of Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. It's a tough choice. Nintendo has many of my favorite video game series and XBOX has so many games, and I can't live without Halo, GoW, and Splinter Cell too. I go with...

The Super Snintendo Entertainment System, without a doubt.

It had the best good games: bad games ratio of all consoles and of all the consoles in my household it's the one with the most games, my brother purchases SNES games even to this day!

There was never a console that I had so much fun with.

Why do people keep saying cartridge-based systems? You can just emulate all of those on the PC and download the ROMs quick and easy.

I have to say I am so partial and nostalgic to the systems themselves, however I do feel like a poser as I never owned many systems when I was a kid, I think I only had a PS1 and an NES, which I bought WAY after the SNES and N64 were out. It was all my friends who had the systems.

THAT SAID! I have 7 consoles going in my house, and am currently re-hooked for the second time around on FF7, greatest game in history, and I am playing it on the PS1. I do love playing the games on the original systems... I know I'm strange..

The best bad games, too? :P

I'm assuming because this question is essentially asking what consoles games you would play if you could only play the games from one.

If that wasn't the case everyone would just say PS3/360 and emulate everything left over.

that's cheating... or is it?:P

The experience isn't the same, even if you emulate on XBox 360 or PS3. There's only one emulator out there with 100% accuracy and compatibility, as far as I know it's only for PC, and it requires a monster CPU to run perfectly. (BSnes.)

I bought a USB SNES controller, and it still doesn't feel the same, fiddling with settings in a GUI.

Plus, it's kinda unfair that you get to save whenever you want in ROMs. Most of us old-skoolers prefer to grit through games, especially the difficult ones.

Not to mention it's not the same thing to download a free ROM than it is purchasing a game with your hard earning money and put it on your shelf.
We collecters are an endangered species :ohwell:

well said bravo!
