It sounds dumb but my pick would be the SNES. There’s just something about 16 bit games I love.
The SNES has so many good games, like sf2. The first party games and some good arcade ports.
It also has a lot of good RPGs, like chrono trigger
The controller is really cute
Tho, the PSP is a close second. Tekken dr running at 3x resolution looks beautiful
Yes I’m a sucker for dpad centric devices. Yes i love emulation.
16 bit stuff looks amazing
Not counting PC since that is easy mode, I would probably say the Wii for me personally. I have had: n64, gc, gameboy (pocket, color, and advance), DS, and ps2 besides the Wii. But I think I put more hours on the Wii than any of those. Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Zelda Twilight Princess, smash bros, and mario kart wii. Very solid catalogue. Plus it had the virtual console and was what allowed me to play some old classics like Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country 2. I never had a snes growing up so that was pretty huge to me. I even cut my teeth on some FPS games like call of duty, world at war and conduit lol.
The Wii might be cheating a bit too since a lot of my fondness for it does come from its backwards compatibility with the Gamecube, and gamecube games were still very relavent during that time. Metroid Prime 1 and 2, part of the Trilogy of course. Smash bros melee. I even had the Zelda collectors edition disc which had GC ports of zelda OOT and MM.
So yeah Wii was definitely kind of cheating since in some ways in my nostalgia I mix it up with basically every Nintendo system that came before it heh. But even on its own it had a solid lineup IMO.
Probably snes for me as well. Then again, I missed a couple generations by being busy/poor (I still hate trying to play anything on n64 or it’s cursed controller).
I had Atari 2600, nes, genesis, Gameboy, snes, playstation, switch. I think I may have had or borrowed a gamegear at some point. In my first apartment, one of the other guys had a playstation 2.
NDS is definitely first, but Steam Deck is close. These days I’m probably more on my Steam Deck tho.
It was the NDS (and 3DS), Now It’s the switch (hopefully a successor is on the way…)
I like all consoles in general and have had most modern ones up til Xbox One S and PS4.
Only own a PC and Switch now.
I like the portable form factor, I don’t feel the need for a Deck as I can play everything I want on my current devices.
Dreamcast.
In the better timeline we left, they’re now playing the Sega Dreamcast 5.
😭
Sega Dreamcast.
Xbox 360, it was my first console and I had a jailbreaked version so I could play anything and it introduced me to achievements haha
Portable: my black Gameboy Advance SP, playing my original Gameboy games on it (Donkey Kong Country and pokemon Blue)
TV: this is gonna sound weird, but I absolutely love my PS5, it’s just so sleek and I love the controller haptics and finally having most games running at 60 fps. Again I mostly play older games on it, but a lot of them got PS5 updates like Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, Spider Man, Days Gone…
I feel a lot of nostalgia towards my ds lite, even though I don’t play with it very much these days.
It’s the ps4. I have a lot childhood memories with the Ps2. Then i played a while mmorpg and other stuff, got bored by it and Mostly the ps4 let me experience good games again. Playing the first time fighting games on a more advance level, going to tournaments and meeting people or play a lot jrpg’s. The ps4 bought that back to me
It’s not dumb at all, no need to downplay your passion. Loud and proud I say!!
My favorite is the PS3. Something about its design and library just speaks to me.
PS3 is my favorite too. I love that era of gaming. I emulated some I missed out on like Asura’s Wrath, Shadows of the Damned, and Lollipop Chainsaw and they really hold up well still with the art style chosen being more cartoon than realiatic for its time. And I’ve hopped in for short sessions in Red Dead Redemption.
I actually picked up a ps3 slim and a decent handful of physical games. You can still buy digital ps3 games too on the console itself
I gotta go with the NES. It’s the only console I ever owned, so…
When they released the mini-nes I snagged that little fucker up so fast.
GameCube. Lots of fun with that console, and Skies of Arcadia Legends is a highlight.
Close second would be N64. The games were really unique, partly because designers had to work with limited hardware and a really bizarre controller. Mischief Makers is my all-time favorite for that one.
While I really like the Genesis/Megadrive, and PS1, I have to say the SNES is an almost perfect console. It had everything that made the NES great, but with beautiful 16 bit graphics.
MD is nice too, I should play more sega
