    Gamecube’s probably my favorite. Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime were pretty formative games for me. Plus I like the indigo.

    I’ve owned every machine so each one means a little something to me. The N64 was the first I bought with my own money and that had some amazing games. I still own my whole collection.

    However I think I’m going with the Switch. So many great games, many more ported from the WiiU and me and friends are still playing Mario Kart and Smash Brothers weekly online.

      Same.

      Almost same. I realize that it’s also on WiiU, but BotW re-ignited something in me that I thought had been lost. And the Switch form factor, while it has obvious tradeoffs, basically made it into gaming option #1 since launch day. I’ve barely touched my XB1 outside of Rock Band since 2017.

      However, I will always have a soft spot for the SNES. Again, so many great games. And the controller was brilliant for the time. Sony added handles, two more triggers, and sticks (to one-up the N64 after the fact), and that format is still the default blueprint to this day (copy-my-homework-but-change-it-up-a-bit notwithstanding). So much gaming DNA came from the SNES.

    Switch!

    It it my first Nintendo console. I was getting away from gaming due to lack of time, and then saw the announcement, loved the idea, got it on launch, and well it’s my favourite console now. Even when compared to PS5.

    Virtual Boy, I can still see the red. Kidding though that system was really disorienting from what I remember.

      Train wreck or not, I will forever kick myself for not buying one from KayBee back when they had dozens on clearance, stored on like half of the top shelves in the store.

    New 3DS. Perfect portable size, enormous library (with DS backwards compatibility), great games that are designed for short burts of time, fantastic 3d effect. Bottom screen used for interactive UI elements worked like a charm IMO.

    I love the Nintendo DS. Slips right into your pocket, can play anywhere, a huge catalog of games, easy to add an R4 to it. It can even play GBA games!

      Same here. Had an Atari 2600 then the NES entered my life and everything changed. Remarkable to have experienced in real time.

      Yeah, I wish I had an NES myself.

      Oh well, that depends on my mood.

      I switch between different consoles.

      Sega is my usual brand to go for.

        I am lucky enough to have an original NES with an HDMI mod. Paired with an Everdrive, it’s a thing of beauty.
