The DCEmu Network Public Interview (Question #4) - Whats the Greatest Console Ever ?

[HtheB]

I think the best was Mega Drive (it had such great games.. it even had more blood on Mortal Kombat3.. while the Snes version was less vionlence)
and after that the Snes and the NES

[RedKing14CA]

Greatest would be a battle between the SNES and the N64...

My favourite is the PC.. but if your forcing me to choose between populaur gaming consoles, PSP (with everygame made, 4GB High Speed MS, and best battery... and my girlfriend... for the island question, LOL)

PSP.

• It plays videos, music, pics, and games
• It goes anywhere (BIG BIG ADVANTAGE for me because I have little time to sit at home and play)
• It can get on the internet and browse websites
• It can emulate all of your "other" favorite consoles
• It can play homemade games
• Practically EVERYONE knows about it (Best Friend: What is this "GP2X" thing you got there?)
• It is incredibly thin (though not as thin as the RAZR)
• It can be used as a REMOTE CONTROL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
• It does more stuff than the iPod which automatically makes it better
• The games for it look at a more mature audience than the DS (Nintendogs? Super Princess Peach??? Come on!)

It's quite funny to see so many kids posting about the modern consoles, it's as irrelevant as saying the latests pop chart is the greatest because old music sucks!.

Oh to be young and stupid again!.

Nintendo NES is the best system ever. NES is the system that brought the video game market back to life after the video game crash of 1984 that had wiped out or severely weakened all the major home video game companies. Nintendo was the only company that had the balls to release a new system and they are the reason the video game market is alive and thriving today. The system had hundreds games (perhaps over a thousand counting pirates and overseas titles) with classics like Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Contra, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Mega Man and Castlevania series… Metroid, Punch-Out!!, River City Ransom... the list goes on and on. How can it not be the best system ever?

Nintendo all the way !

NES
SNES
GB
GBA
GBC

[shenske37]

Snes was byfar the greatest system of all time. i grew up with the system and also had so many very great games. (not in this order, these are great games off the top of my head)
1. all the mario games
2. Mk series
3. war of the Gems
4. killer instinct
5. street fighter
6. Dk series
7. starfox
8. megaman X
9. king of the dragons
10. zelda
the list could go on forever. Snes is awsome!

I've been into consoles since i can remeber my self. I worked for several years as a console seller in a toy store in Greece so i've played with almost all of them plus i owened quit few so here is my opinion,

Atari : i haven't read all the thread but this console along with NES were responsible for the rise of the console indursty.

NES or Famicom : Olders who owened one as kids sure loved it great games for it's time like Mario Bros , Zelda and others.

Master System : This one had better graphics than the NES but the majority of titles was not as good.

SNES or Super Famicom : The word "SUPER" describes it all, one of the most loved consoles ever , even nowdays the emus for this outstanding machine are most wanted ones. Great all time classic games with graphics good even for todays standards.(2D that is.)

Mega Drive or Genesis : The only true competitor to SNES the battle was head2head but in the end the machine lost to it's competitor.

Atari Jaguar : Should have been better the time it came out the technology was far ahead so this machine was doomed from the begining.

3DO : Nothing to say about this one as it wasn't imported in Greece.

Saturn : Not marketed as it should so although a good machine it was doomed against the :

Playstation : The new era of videogaming, good marketing and strong titles made this machine the king although from the majority of titles only a small percentage was trully good but that small percentage was huge in terms of the amount of games that this machine saw.

Nintendo 64 : Nintendos attempt to hit the playstation reighn this machine could do better if it was released earlier as it had some of the best titles ever to support it including my favorite platform of all time Mario64.

Dreamcast : This machine trully amazed me with it's graphics i remember leaving the Soul Calibur fighters excersing their technics and every customer that was passing by had his jaw dropped.
it's a pity Sega couldn't support this machine more.

Playstation 2 : Sony's speed from playstation continious with the current emperor, but although many games are good and there is backwards compability, many aren't but with this number of titles who cares, just choose a good one.

Xbox : The sofware giant's attempt to hit the console market wasn't as they predicted but it opened the road to a company that will surely amaze as during the next years.

GameCube : Same recipy for nintendo here , good machine , fantastic titles but the turn to smaller ages seems to obvious here.

Xbox 360 : Not much to say about this one as it's certainly way ahead in technology but it has only a few games and not real competition in it's field yet. Future will tell.

now for the REAL MONEY, an i say real because the future IS portable and the Emperor here for almost 2 decades is one, Nintendo.
I believe the favourite console for almost every kid is Gameboy , from the original to Advance SP , 2 generations have grown playing with one of them and guess what, the new emperor is rising and it's called DS. to tell u the truth i've never owned one, have seen Atari LYNX , i've owned a Sega Game Gear (grea tv Tuner), and now i own a Sony PSP (truly remarkable piece of hardware) but i've never questioned the rule of the MOST PLAYED console of all time GameBoy.
I know i have left out many other machines like pc-engine, neo geo, gpx and others but most of the others i've seen only as emus.
So after all this i'll say my favourite console was is and probably will be SNES although i like all of them in a way.
Devices I've owened in the following order:
Atary 2600
Amstard CPC 6128
PC 386 SX40 mhz
Super Nintendo
Sega Game Gear
PC 486 DX100 mhz
Playstation 1
PC P3 800 mhz
Playstation 2
PC P4 3,06 HT
Sony PSP

next item probably PS3
