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
In the better timeline we left, they’re now playing the Sega Dreamcast 5.
😭
PSP, followed by Gameboy Color, followed by Advance SP.
I recently got a Retroid4, and took an amazing trip down memory lane with Mana Khemia, MG:AC!D, FF Tactics Advanced/A2, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and a bunch of pkmn ROM hacks. All of them easily held up today.
Unless SteamDeck counts, in which case it wins hands-down.
I has the 4 pro. PSP is a good system
PS2 for sure. So many great games that made my childhood and its easy to mod and repair.
SNES is close second. Was lucky enough that I got one growing up (it was 10 year old console at that point) and the 16 bit graphics and the music always take me back.
N64 for me, I’ll always remember my first all-nighter playing Super Mario 64 on Christmas.
If I had to pick all time? 3DS! It has sooo many games with supporting the DS and 3DS library, DSiWare, and of course homebrew.
If I’m picking my current favorite I’ve got to go with the Playdate. It’s portable and has a lot of fun small-scale games.
(yes I like handholds why do you ask)
The 3ds is a damn good system. I just hate the n3ds cstick
I never had a n3ds! Couldn’t bear parting with my animal crossing poptart edition
NDS is definitely first, but Steam Deck is close. These days I’m probably more on my Steam Deck tho.
Sega Dreamcast.
assuming “PC” doesn’t count… i’ll be a basic bitch and say nintendo switch. it’s the one i’ve played the most games on.
I’m not the OP, but if you had the most fun on PC, it’s for me the only correct answer.
SNES Aerobiz: Supersonic. Greatest game of my life.
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
PSP, hands down. So many incredible games, it was a RPG powerhouse, that screen was great for the time and for me it was an “everything” device (I remember browsing the web and reading mangas on the PSP… Janky but incredible all the same).
The Vita comes close - nigh “home console” games on the go and the OLED screen to make those shine.
Nintendo 3DS. Extremely hackable, not too shabby selection of games, and… I swear I must be the only person on Earth who likes the 3D feature, but I love the 3D feature
If this is some kind of question like “you can only play this in your lifetime” I’d pick up a DSi XL or closely a 3DS, I enjoy the DS library more, so it would be a downgrade doing it there, unless things have changed since the last time I checked.
The reasons are simple, it has tons of great titles and many of them have a high replayability value.
I quite agree. The SNES was a part of my childhood. Some of my favorite games to this day were on that platform. Donkey Kong Country 2, Mega Man X 1-3, Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, to name a few.
To me, Atari Lynx and Sega Dreamcast.
Never played lynx, always found Atari stuff kinda bad, that or the 2600 is a pos.
Any lynx recommendations?
The VCS is an old console, not a POS. When it was new it was state-of-the-art. About the Lynx, the catalog is not long. You can get all the games (76 in total and the max size is 2 MB) and try some. I’d say California Games, Klax, Batman Returns, Toki, just to name a few.
Yea, good point.
I’ll get into lynx
