What's your favorite game console?

[Miata]

Whats your favorite game system? :rolleyes:

[Countess Cain]

As a home system, my Playstation 2 gets a lot of love. I think it has the best game selection.

When it comes to portability, I use my Nintendo DS. It comes to school with me everyday. <3

[AbstainSentinel]

PS2...I'm not fond of handhelds, and PS so far has the best games in my opinion. ^_^

[Aratos]

From the chocies given, GC ftw. I don't like the XBox controller, or choice of games and I just don't like most of the PS2 games that aint avialble on otehr platforms anyway. Plus I'm a Mario fan.

[odinmm]

i like the PC because of URU and Sims 2, but i haven't played them yet, i have them, but my computer well is a stupid peace of junk. so till i get a new PC i enjoy my slimline ps2 on a 27 inch it is heaven. and for the car, i use to take my ps2 but we got a new car so no TV in it, that was the only good thing about the old car. i have an Xbox but it is gone, it went on ebay.

[sensei-]

NES anyone??

[Calypso]

I <3 Nintendo, but a lot of my fave games are Ps2. *sniff*
Then there are PC/Mac specific games I enjoy as well. ^^

[tsukasa]

While I coulda picked GameCube, I had to choose other. now if it was started as a current-gen thread GameCube would be chosen. but i went with other.
Super Nintendo!!!!!
Nintendo
GameBoy - all versions
GameCube
DS
N64
and the only reason i bought a PS2 was because of .Hack//

[Alphonse Elric]

i think ps2 has won the battle

[Shikikun]

PS2 and PC
^^

[Mecha]

Hands down PS2. I play that thing all the time.

[Cowboychamploo44]

What kind of Game consoles do you like? :)

[Alphonse Elric]

i have a ps1, ps2, dreamcast and sega genisus.. and then i have a ds... and i think thats it

[Kisagarki]

Mine would have to be SNES. The best thing made. Then PS1 then DS.

[Aratos]

Probably Genesis, N64 a close second.

As far as handhelds go, DS is probably my favourite.

[PunkR0ckPrinc322]

The old school NES.

[sensei-]

NES and SNES are the best consoles ever (for me)

[Alphonse Elric]

but as for fav.. i would have to say ps2

[Shikikun]

PS2
can run my PS1 and PS2 games ^^

[Gaara]

ps2....and in November...PS3:D :D

[Zombie prom date]

I have a NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Gamegear, Gameboy Color, GBA, GBA SP, DS, PSP. As for my favorite, it has to be my SNES. My PSP, although not my favorite, is especially awesome because of ROMS and all the anime I convert.

[dunno001]

Best console, hands down, is the SNES. It was the heyday for good RPGs. Many PS1 RPGs sold out to the mainstream, as stories were less rivoting, games less challenging, but they looked pretty... *grumbles* Secondly would be the NES, if only for reviving the market into what it is today. (I can't say from experience, since I was 3, but for those who remember the crash and burn of the Atari/Colecovision/etc era, Nintendo had a tough sale to get itno stores at all.) Plus it sparked my RPG kindling with Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy.

Handhelds, it's the DS, no question. I've not been this addicted to gaming since the... SNES! My system is almost never turned off anymore, unless I'm changing the game...

[Kaoru]

Right now I'd have to say my PSP. Before that it was my N64.

[penguinminor]

Well, I've got the NES, SNES, N64, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Playstation, Playstation 2, and Nintendo DS.
I would have to say that the DS is my favorite gaming console. It's great.
It's about the only thing I play lately. :p

Also really love the PS2. It has some sweet games. The SNES was definitely great. Aah, who am I kidding. It's too hard to choose a favorite console. I love 'em all so much. ^___^

[BerserkFury]

Got the ps2, Soon the ps3

[Spike]

Sega Dreamcast, it had all of my favorite games, Shenmue, Grandia 2, Capcom vs SNK 2, etc..

[Anjolina]

Definetly PS2.

[Cowboychamploo44]

Wonderswan. Check it out...:D

^_^ hehe

[Miako]

I love my PS2 altho I do have a xbox, gameboy sp, gamecube, and dreamcast *aww poor dreamcast*. I felt the need to point that out since Soma did :p But the PS2 has more games that I like than any other console and you can't beat the fact that all games are backwards compatible... I can't wait for PS3.

[Cowboychamploo44]

I can't wait for PS3.


When's it coming out?

[balls]

Definitely PS2, XBOX, and the 64.

[SailorMaddieMouse]

N64 and SNES. PS2's also up there. But SNES was definently the best thing made, ever. N64 took it up a notch, creating fantastic games and classics :)

[bandageplus]

my ds is perfect then, ps2 then game cube ( xbox sucks!!)

fav old school ?
snes ,sega genesis sonic games!!!

[kariuchiha]

i'd have to say ps2

[Kurono]

My favorite now is easily the PS2. I <had> the PS1, X-box(for about a month), Nes, Snes, N64, Gameboy(still have), still have the GAmecube(because of Zelda and REsident Evil), Dreamcast(Has anybody played D2?), and SEga Genesis. My cousins use to have an atari that I would play when I went over to their house, and later a Jaguar(anybody remember that, Aliens vs. Predator?). My friends had all the handheld gaming systems that I was never really interested in. I am however interested in the DS because of the Castlevania series.

[Fumi]

PS2, my only discrepancy is the fact that I can't ever manage to save PS1 stuff when I'm playing those games on there. Close second? GB Color, I'm sorry but it's a classic

[Kurono]

I had that problem to at first, but the secret is to just use a PSOne memory card. I just started playing FFVII again and it saves fine.

[Fumi]

I've tried that. May be my PS2's just stupid, but it won't ever let me save from FFIX. Of course maybe it's because I was using a scratched disc... Oh I don't know. If it works I'll take your word for it. Can we load from the card onto the PS2 if it was originally saved on the PS1?

[Anime_Knight29]

im a playstation person i have all the counsels and i love to play all the games. i think ps2 and out ranks every other councel. and when ps3 comes out it will out rank x-box360

[Kurono]

I'm not really sure if you have it already saved on PSONE. I sold all my memory cards in the PSOne when I bought a PS2, but it should work. I bought a special used pelican memory card and all, I just managed to load FFVII in fact. I bought Blood Omen-Legacy of Kain for PSOne to save on the PS2, and when I found I couldn't save my game I sold it. Then I went to Game Stop (originally Funcoland) and they sold me a PSOne memory card would work. My advice is to keep trying. Sorry.

[Laenavesse]

Yeah PS2 is completely backwards compatable. The PS2 memory card, however, is not. You can play, load, AND save PS1 games, you just have to have a PS1 memory card to do so. You can't save it on a PS2 memory card.

Fumi, you might want to try saving it on a PS1 and see if it works and also try to see if you can save a different PS1 game. It should work and it may be because your disc is scratched o-o

[Holy Dragon Sword]

I'm split between the PS1 and SNES. Both had multiple genres represented, and many PS1 games were continued over from the SNES(Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter[yes, I know that the SF series was multi-port. But the SNES and PS1 both received more SF titles than the competition], Star Ocean, Tales of ___, etc.).

Amusing how the PS1 was more of the SNES' sucessor than the N64 was.

[Fumi]

I think I'll try the disc thing. I'm thinking about actually finishing FFVII. That IS amusing though Holy Dragon Sword. Too bad I know nothing about SNES PS1 was my first game console

Thanks for being so supportive ^_^

[SegaNerd007]

For my favorite system i'm going with a real underdog that deserves lot of respect.. the sega saturn even though i love my genesis alot. There were lot of awesome games that i loved so dearly like panzer dragoon, astal, shining force III, virtual fighter, guardian heroes, virtual on, and of course my favorite dragon force. sega rules!

[NatalieRMatthews]

The Playstation Portable and all the Playstation Console.

[Aratos]

The Playstation Portable and all the Playstation Console.


fanboi much?

[Kaoru]

fanboi much?
Whats wrong with that?

[Aratos]

1)not giving any reason
2)missing the s in consoles
3)saying more or less "everything made by sony".

[Kaoru]

I guess thats true :/

[AnimeDudde]

SNES all the way. :) Or 64. I dunno, a tie between the 2.

[Fumi]

I've never played SNES, but the 64 has special memories for me.

For anyone who reads my posts from earlier in this thread the problem was the card -_- I guess I have to buy some new ones on ebay.

[TimeBandit]

PS2
._.; Gotta love that console <333

[angelpinkgal]

well. i have an xbox here n one back in singapore (my dad lives where i was born )
n i have a wii, a nintendo ds, gameboy advance, gameboy advance sp..my fave wud be the wii, nintendo ds is also rly good

[roxas87]

i enjoy playing with the gameboy.

[Simpleandclean93]

I LOVE my PS2!!!! It makes me happy!!*sigh* ... so ... very ... happy!

[k0n0k0]

PS2, Gameboy and PC are the best!

[Dream_maker]

PS2, all the way.

[Kyuriko]

I like just about anything released by Nintendo (the Gameboy models and the SNES in particular), although the Playstation 2 is a very close runner-up, followed in third place by the Sega Genesis.

[alucard666]

I think the Dreamcast was my favorite console followed by the PS2.

[xallix]

ps2 and xbox

[ElektroDragon]

Xbox 360!!!!

[eddy]

i used to hav a dreamcast and a nintendo 64. it was cool to hav them until they broke that is.:(

[ICLHStudios]

Wii, not only is it the best from a gamers perspective, but it's even better from a designers perspective, But not NEARLY as good as it should have been, the controller is very disappointing.

[Vicious]

Now? I'm not really sure.

The Wii, X-Box 360 are both awesome. As for the PS3, it's currently not doing so well but it's the game line-up that's bugging me. That and the puny hard drive that it contains.

The price in the other hand isn't that much of a problem anymore. Sony will soon drop the price to maybe 50 to 100 dollars so that's great news.

Ok so here's a question: If you do not have ANY system and you're wondering which system to get first then I would highly suggest the X-Box 360. Second would be the Nintendo Wii (since Nintendo will be releasing new variant colors for the Nintendo Wii with some extras), and last but not least, the Playstation 3 due to it's line up. I guarantee that Sony will release numerous of awesome games soon.

Recommended games for systems:
X-Box 360
Halo 3, Blue Dragon, Dead Rising, & Naruto: Rise of the Ninja

Nintendo Wii
Well by Christmas, the most anticipated game will be released: Super Smash Bros Brawl so yeh.

PS3
D:

[Aratos]

*is curious why the hell variant colours would have anb effect on why one would buy a console*

[Vicious]

*is curious why the hell variant colours would have anb effect on why one would buy a console*

*is curious; wonders if aratos read the part about the extas too*

Besides, the variant colors are awesome. It's the same as with the Nintendo DS. You get the color that represents who you are or to show off a different color rather than just plain old white.

[Kaoru]

As for the PS3, it's currently not doing so well but it's the game line-up that's bugging me. That and the puny hard drive that it contains.
Because the Xbox's HD is bigger now?

Last I checked 20 isn't bigger then 60...

[Vicious]

Because the Xbox's HD is bigger now?

Last I checked 20 isn't bigger then 60...
Huh?

Xbox 360's HD is around 120 gb.

Oh wait I was thinking about the Elite. Right the premium is around 20 gbs.

See the Elite (which contains 120gb) is 459.99 while the PS3 60hd is 499.99.

[Pebblybpo]

Nintendo Wii and not so long ago my Gamecube which I gave away to my brothers and they sold it not too long after! If I had known that I would have traded it in myself for New games to go with my Wii!

My Nintendo DS and last but not least my old Sega Genesis console!
It has a few games for me to play I'll keep it as long as it still functions!

[feder]

Wii, not only is it the best from a gamers perspective, but it's even better from a designers perspective, But not NEARLY as good as it should have been, the controller is very disappointing.

Disappointing? What did you want the controller to do? Shoot out laser beams? The control itself isn't the problem; it's the developers.

[FallenHitokiri]

Snes and Nes, legend games consoles and definately the ones with the most RPGs that is also what makes them great.
Newer consoles would probably be PS2 and GC :) I love the GC controller, its soft :P

[Aratos]

What did you want the controller to do? Shoot out laser beams?

Personally, I was holding out till the last on laser beams. I really think dropping them was a bad decision on Nintendo's part.

[christopher123]

N64, PS2, Xbox 360, or Wii. I can't really decide which one I like the best but probably it would be eithor Wii or N64, but thats just because I'm more of a Nintendo person.

[Suranime12345]

dreamcast...i swear its so much cooler than you think.

[Vicious]

Ok we're only talking about consoles here.

For me I'd go with the PS3. It's like a ExternalHD. Put whatever you want in it, and not only that but it does not charge people to go online unlike the 360.

[Kaoru]

[Vicious]

If we're talking about gaaaames woman... then that's a different story. As for the SYSTEM itself... I'd choose PS3.

If we're talking about which system has the best line-up. I'm definitely choosing 360.

[feder]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/CRUMMER/f2d3564f.jpg

LOL. Quoted for truth.

[darknikoz]

dreamcast is the best really but rite now 360

[feder]

dreamcast is the best really but rite now 360

If you like shooters. ^^

All joking aside. 360 does have some decent games, I guess, but nothing I'm really interested in, other than Eternal Sonata. Out of the current next gen systems, though, it's probably the best.

I do a lot of gaming research in my spare time, and here's what I've come up with so far. Of course, depending on how well the Wii and PS3 do this may change in the near future.

1-360: I personally don't care for any of the games, but even I have to admit the 360 has some top selling games that are apparently stellar.
Unfortunately, the 360 has very little support over in Japan and most of the games being made by Japanese companies for the 360 seem to also be available on the PS3. Some people may not care about that, and that's fine, but because of that, 360 gamers can't expect as much Japanese support as the Wii and PS3 get.

2-Wii: Support is high for the Wii, but unfortunately most of the games being made for the Wii are mediocre PS2 ports. But there are a few stellar titles out there like Metriod, Mario, RE4, Zelda (even though it's a port), and there are a lot of titles coming out in the near future that make the Wii look more promising (Dragon Quest, FF, No More Heroes, Samba de Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl, etc).

3-PS3: got some OK games, but nothing completely stellar that you can't get on the 360. The future DOES look good for the PS3 support wise with all the big franchises, DMC, FF, MGS, making their way onto the system, but other than that support is still low.

Keep in mind that these statistics are based on games made, not consoles sold. If that were the case, Wii and 360 would be fighting for first, with Wii slightly ahead.

[quakeyjase]

I've never had a games console; I've never really seen the point of them.

:Robo:

[feder]

I've never had a games console; I've never really seen the point of them.

:Robo:


The point of having a console is to play video games on it, no?

If you don't have a favorite system, why bother posting at all? X_X

[TheBohemian]

I guess posting in a thread where he'd have to be condescending gives him warm fuzzies. :rolleyes:

[ouch]

I guess nobody would be same with me.

My favorite game console is PC-Engine. It's my first game console, and it's also the first game console using CD-ROM technology. ( It call TurboGrafx-16 in the state.) Most games got anime FMV for the OP/ED and between scene.

[HaruGirl13]

N64. My friend came over and I was playing Banjo Kazooie, and she goes: Wow, that game must be old. The graphics are kinda crappy." And I'm like: "But I have such sweet memories with these games." I still remember being, like, 5, and I could kick everyone's butts on Mario Kart.

[Kyuriko]

I had a Super Nintendo and often played my older brother's Sega Genesis when I was younger. Now I have a Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy Advanced SP, Nintendo DS, and a PlayStation 2. My favorite of the lot has got to be the Nintendo DS because the system has an awesome library of fun games and it's an overall unique and fun system to play; plus, the new Wi-Fi feature is amazing!

[LOWSENT]

mine has 2 be th n64 or nes

[iokomo]

since i am a Sony lover, i say ps3. microsoft can't produce anything solid enough for my taste.

[Xanthu]

Anything Nintendo for me.:)

[GothicPrince]

its gotta be 360 and the PC for me

[feder]

I like my PS2, I guess, but I'm going to have to say my Gamecube. The Gamecube doesn't have the library that the PS2 does, but in general I like the system better. It runs faster, load times are practically non-existent, and it has superior graphics to the PS2. It's just a shame it got overshadowed by the PS2's success.

The Wii is great too, but they don't have an option for that. Ah well.

[Arcademan]

Thread merged with a similar one. Poll option still available.

[demonhunter]

my fav is 360 (gamer points and live + dmc 4):cool:

[xfatalpunkx]

For me I have two favorite consoles PS3 and XBOX 360 :).

[booboos]

i chose ps2 but didn't realise it was a multiple choice poll till afterwards D: still i do love my ps

[mochichan88]

PS2, PC, and Gamecube hands down...

But of course Brawl is now out...

WII!!!!

[CosmicRage]

No love for the SNES? WOW that has to be the best system ever. Maybe for old people like me... Zelda link to the past, Star fox, Super Mario World, the games had great graphics at the time, no load times and games didn't require 50+ hours to beat. I do like my PS2 but just for madden
