What's your favourite system?

Leinad · 08-18-2011, 05:47 AM

I just started posting again and decided to start a new topic. Personally my favourite system is the SNES; partly due to nostalgia, but then again there's so many games that I just simply love on there. I mean there's Super Metroid, Zelda, Megaman X, Parodius and it has, in my opinion, the most comfortable controller design of all time.

The SNES has a comfortable controller design? That ungrabbable flat thing?

Anyway, my favorite system is the DS, mostly because it's the one I own.

But the SNES is pretty good too. On a second tier could be the Game Boy series and the PlayStation (the first one, yes).

SNES is far and away my favorite. It's like the nostalgia box for me.

Have you ever held an SNES controller...?

Dux is not you · 08-18-2011, 09:55 AM

Yes. I've also held a number of other controllers, and the SNES controller is fairly unimpressive in terms of comfort.

***Booyakasha*** · 08-18-2011, 10:06 AM

I'll not lie---if we're going solely by controller design, I think 360 wins by a mile.

That said, I don't know I could ever choose a favourite console. I like games, not consoles. Having a favourite console seems about equivalent to having a favourite brand of microwave.

**Valigarmander** · 08-18-2011, 10:15 AM

You know, I really liked the NES controller. It was nice and simple, and small.

My favorite system would probably be the SNES, due to its lineup of games. Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country 3, Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario All-Stars, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire 2, ActRaiser, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Tetris Attack, Lufia, Lufia II, E.V.O.: Search for Eden, Shadowrun, Secret of Evermore, Super Castlevania IV... did I miss anything?

Dux is not you · 08-18-2011, 10:19 AM

You actually liked E.V.O.?

Oh, you missed the Megaman games.

You missed out Parodius.

**Valigarmander** · 08-18-2011, 10:23 AM

I never played any of the Mega Man games or Parodius.

And yes, I liked E.V.O., because only cool people like it.

Dux is not you · 08-18-2011, 10:37 AM

Come on. It was fun in principle, but you know the controls were a disaster.

I once had some kind of bird with the jaws of a tyrannosaurus.

Also, the nightmarish cloud maze part was horrible.

But anyway, back on topic, the SNES rules.

Right! You missed Civilization.

The cloud maze was optional, though there were several other annoying mazes in the game, I'll give you that. But the controls weren't that bad. WATCH MY LP.

Dizzy · 08-18-2011, 09:20 PM

The GameCube was pretty cool. So was the N64.

And the GBC/GBA. Hell, I don't know.

***Marilink*** · 08-19-2011, 09:46 AM

I agree with Boo, the 360's controller is definitely the most comfortable and excellent controller design.

But I've never had any problem with the SNES. Hell, the 360 controller is like an SNES controller with control sticks.

Panfan · 08-20-2011, 01:47 PM

um you guys suck everybody cool knows that the Best Console Ever is the Genesis.

You can't even ****ing argue about it either. Blast processing, bitch.

Enjoy your 512 colors. I'll be enjoying my 32,768.

Bomby · 08-21-2011, 10:25 PM

SNES.

Two reasons:
1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
2. Street Fighter II: Turbo

That is all.

LG is the best. Hell, all my appliances are LG.

This message paid for by LG

monstrman · 08-26-2011, 02:22 AM

GBA was actually alright at least I enjoyed it.

My gamecube broke so I smashed it with a baseball bat. I figured it was the only sendoff I could give considering it went through so much before its inevitable end...

My favorite however, has probably gotta be N64 because that was my system when I was a kid. I mean, I played NES and SNES but I never had one till after the 64 came out.

Leinad · 08-26-2011, 07:11 AM

^I really like the N64 too, but to be honest when I was a little kid all I had it for was Pokemon stadium, Super smash bros. and Turok rage wars. One of these things is not like the others.

monstrman · 08-26-2011, 11:29 AM

One of those things is dead?

I had too many games to count. Oh, and majora's mask is better than ocarina of time just saiyan goku.

Leinad · 08-26-2011, 02:20 PM

I've filled out my collection since, but back when I was a kid in the nineties, that was all I had on there for like a year.
