Favorite Console

*Mr. Snackpants* · 03-26-2003, 07:30 PM

What is your fav. console and why? Mine is PS2. Also, is anyone thinking about getting the GBASP? I am, but only because I sold my GBA for $70, so its just a $30 upgrade.

**GK Punk** · 03-26-2003, 07:32 PM

I like em all... right now I am using either my Dreamcast or my GameCube the most though

*Nickokapo* · 03-26-2003, 07:39 PM

I smell a flamewar, yes i do

I like the pc myself, tho its not really a console.

ironhelix · 03-26-2003, 07:40 PM

The poll says best when I think it should have said favorite. Anyway, I don't think one console is really absolutely better than the other, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. That being said, my favorite is the PS2, simply because I have more games for that and I play it more than any other. But I still like all the other consoles and play them all when I feel the urge.

*Nickokapo* · 03-26-2003, 07:48 PM

Favorite...much better

but that's not my point, nor am i blaming this on shredhead, i just said this because i've seen so many people in other forums and chatrooms over reacting about what's the best console that they usually ended in flamewars
BTW the poll itself is gone now i think

what happend?

*That Matt Guy* · 03-26-2003, 08:01 PM

It doesn't get much better then the original NES.

I have NES, SNES, GameCube, N64, Genesis, and PS2. I had a ColecoVision with the Atari module. All of them have kept me busy for hours on end since I was 4. I love games. The original NES is a classic. EVERYTHING had an NES game based on it at one point. I am very proud to say that unlike some people who use emulators or whatever to play old-school NES games, I still have mine and it's in perfect working order. In fact, I just bought TMNT 2 and 3 for NES a month ago and finally beat them after all these years.

Then there's SNES. That system probably has the largest library of great games ever. Like PS has maybe the most games by number, but by ratio of good games / crap games, I think SNES leads the pack.

I even love my N64 for the great Mario, Zelda, and wrestling games on it. I never understood why people hated it so much except that they never really had a good *number* of games. But I personally would rather play a few good games than sift through a lotta crappy ones to find a good one, so that never bugged me.

It'd be impossible to pick a fav for me, I just love games. I play my PS2 the most right now because of Smackdown, but with Zelda that may change.

And I'm definitely getting the new GBA. My old one got stolen, and the new version looks crescent-fresh.

*Nickokapo* · 03-26-2003, 08:21 PM

I still got my nes too, they're quite cheap here.
I have a bunch of consoles but not the latest generation ones like gamecube or ps2 since theyve gotten too expensive and im not exactly in a very good economic position right now..lets see...i got a nes, genesis, psx, n64...thats about it.
And the pc of course

*Duke* · 03-26-2003, 08:49 PM

Its hard to chose a favorite console. I mean i love them all for there own reason. Seriously the original NES rocks. I was so mad when mine broke. And who here can really argue that the SNES didn't make like the greatest games of all time. And Even the N64 had its highs. Like mario 64 was fun and so was mariokart 64 plus the zelda games just owned. And then the original Playstation owned. I was like this system rocks but then i got a PS2 and i was like

i can play my old games on here plus the new ones. Noone can argue a system that plays older games like the PS2 and the GBA doesn't rock. I mean GBA plays every gameboy game ever made.

And i got a X-box the day it came out. The system has power like nothing. I mean the thing has a hard drive. Thats crazy. And i also have a gamecube but i'm getting close to throwing things at it. Not because i don't like the games i got for it but i can't get that stupid link cable from the GBA to allow me to play metriod fussion on the thing. But i guess i won't because of that multiplayer final fanatsy game that coming out for it. I think its called Cystal Chronicles. Does anyone know when that game comes out? Plus how could i break a system that plays zelda games. And even though i never personally owned a sega or sega genesis because my best friend had both, they also owned in there own way. I mean who never liked Sonic? IMO you would have to be a pretty strange gamer to have not like Sonic. Sadly i never owned a dreamcast nor really knew someone who did.

take everything you said, add a master system, a Turbo Duo and even at one point a Neo Geo...(Given to me, sold for cash baybee) I have them all except the Geo to this day!

Thats not what that cables for. If you want that you have to spend 50 bucks for the Gameboy Player. It hooks on to the base of the 'Cube and lets lets you play ALL GB(a) games on your tv, in progressive scan mode too

. Think Super Gameboy.

Cystal Chronicles comes out in japan in July I think... and from what I've heard SquareEnix wants to get it out here before the holiday shopping spree.

Oh, about the Xbox... the 'Cube is just as powerful. I've had many Xbox fans tell me that Metroid Prime is the best looking game they've ever played. What ever though, people can like what they want to

.

*Duke* · 03-26-2003, 09:18 PM

Then whats the game cable for? I knew that its not for all gameboy advance games but i knew that the back of the box for Metriod Fussion says its compatible. I least i think it did. The box is at home or i'd check.

You can't actually play Gameboy Advance games using that cable, Metroid Fusion hooks up to Metroid prime, and you can give Samus the fusion suit in Metroid Prime, and you can also use it to play NES Metroid on the GameCube... they are making an adapter to play GameCUbe games however...

*Duke* · 03-26-2003, 09:23 PM

Okay now i understand. No longer wishes to throw his gamecube across the room.

*Voltron* · 03-26-2003, 09:25 PM

Game Cube has the Graphics
PS2 has the games
X Box has the potential

If you melt these down you get one god system. Dreamcast. That thing could do anything and everything my little heart desired.

I have all the systems released for US consumption dating back to the Atari 2600, with the exception of The Toilet (AKA Atari Jaguar), 3DO, and the Atari Lynx. I've even been lucky enough to grab hold of a couple of Japanese-only systems. For current times, the PS2 wins hands-down in my book. But for classic, old-school stuff, NES all da way babyyyyy...

*R-iZZy* · 03-27-2003, 12:51 AM

Any Nintendo system because they contain Zelda games!!!
Any Sony system because Playstation controls are so simplistic and the SmackDown! games ARE GRRRRREAT!!! And so are the Street Fighter-Ex games.

**Barkworm** · 03-27-2003, 01:20 AM

I LOVE MY GAMECUBE!!! I mean I've got Stafox, Metroid, Super Mario Sunshine and soon I'll get ZELDA! I heard the new Donkey Kong and Super Mario Games will be shown on the next E3, besides there will be a new Metal Gear Solid game, that's all I need to live (I hope my girlfriend won't read this

)!
I also have a PS2 and there are amazingly great games for it but I guess Nintendo's stuff will always be my favourite.

Dreamcast was awesome from what i've played. If i can find one i might pick it up (their pry only like 20 bucks now.) I could also get game for it pretty cheap... just have to get used to the controllers. ofcourse that comes after Zelda, and a stero system
