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..

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.

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.
