Playstation vs N64 vs Saturn
Hello DCEmu, Eviltaco64 here again.
Today I ask you this:
What is your favorite out of these select 3 consoles:

NINTENDO 64
The most powerful of the generation. Although the most powerful, it had some limitations (like the use of cartridges) and a lot of developers had a hard time tapping out the power of the console (although some loyal companies such as Rareware rewrote this code and made some very graphically advanced games like Conker's Bad Fur Day and Perfect Dark), however, it was also a technical landmark due to releases such as the Analog stick, Expansion Pak, and Rumble Pak.
This system has some of the best games to date and was also an amazing multiplayer console (due to being one of the first consoles to feature 4 controller ports and having short load times).
Released in 1996 (US and JAP) and 1997 (EUR).

SONY PLAYSTATION
The most popular console of the generation.
This console revamped the industry for the good with AAA games like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid.
In 1997, Sony released the Dual Analog Controller which featured more fluent controls. This controller was later modified and released as the DualShock in 1998.
This console was the 2nd most successful console ever and features a very large library of games.
(Released in 1994 (JAP) and 1995 (US and EUR)

SEGA SATURN
The most underrated console of the generation.
This console was originally designed as a 2D powerhouse. However, to keep up with the times, it was quickly modified to do some 3D as well.
The Saturn was released in Japan in November 1994, a few weeks before the Japanese release of the Sega 32X and in 1995 in the US and Europe.
The Saturn featured many Arcade ports, Capcom/SNK fighting games, and RPGs which along with Segata Sanshiro gave it success in Japan.
Over in the US, however, SoA had a policy that 2D games and RPGs would be unappealing to the US market. That along with the bizzare advertisements and promos made the saturn a failure.
The Saturn has many classic gems that still havent been ported to other consoles (e.g. Radiant Silvergun, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Burning Rangers) and is also recommended for a fighting game fan (Street Fighter Zero 3 on the Saturn is still considered the BEST port of the game, even better than the Dreamcast one).
So what's your preference, Saturn, Playstation, or Nintendo 64?
