    Default What is your favourite gaming console of all time?

    We all know PC is the real winner, even though they're not consoles someone will always try and be clever. So PCs aside - which console has been your favourite gaming platform all of time, and why?

    I don't think any console has given me more joy than the Nintendo DS, largely due to the incredible game catalogue. Advance Wars, Ace Attorney, Pokemon, Advance Wars, Castlevania, Hotel Dusk, 999 and even niche RPGs like Infinite Space...can't really be beat IMO.

    EDIT: welp, wrote Advance Wars twice. Actually I'll leave that typo there because I freaking love Advance Wars

    Super Nintendo, without question. A shocking number of my favourite games were released on that console.

    I gotta say PS1. Not only does it have a lot of good games, it's got an uncensored port for most of my favourite SNES games which is great despite the loading times!

    SNES, though PS1 had a pretty solid lineup too. I wonder what the correlation is between a person's favorite console and the one they played the most in their early teens.

    DS is the best handheld console I've played though. I really played the smurf out of that thing.

    I'd almost say PS2 if I could count it's backwards compatibility. If not, I'd say PS1. It was really hard to pick, but I just had more games on the PS1 than most any other system when I was younger.

    It's a damn hard choice between SNES and PS2, though PS2 edges it out due to Persona 3 and 4, Xenosaga, and Mana Khemia.

    DS does have a strong place up their though. Just wish most of it's games I could play on my TV and not Hand held.

    I feel like Super Nintendo had, by far, the strongest game lineup of all the consoles I played. Game Boy Advance was a very good handheld partially by virtue of all those SNES ports.

    If I am remembering correctly N64 was what I was playing in my early teens. And I did love the heck out of the N64 but it can't touch the library of the SNES.

    (I should also add that I can see the case for PS1/PS2 being winners here but I never played those very much so I cannot say)

    I'd have to go with my compu... oh, okay. Well then. Umm... I've probably shown my PS2 the most love throughout the years, then.

    PS2, due to a good bunch of PS2 games, and full compatibility with every PS1 game that I love.

    The Super Nintendo is a close second.

    PS2. I put a silly amount of time into that console.
