Best Nintendo console

[Tarkhan]

The DS is by far their most successful platform.

I voted for gamecube and I owned all the consoles except the Wii. Because motion controls are no excuse for repeats of last generation graphics.

I'm wierd - I never noticed the Wii as last-generation graphics. I never owned anything last-gen, and when I got my Wii I didn't have an HDTV.

Though now, even "current gen" Xbox 360 graphics feel last-gen compared to what my PC can do.

That is true +1

But you have to in exchange deal with that crappy remote and sketchy motion controls -2

Yeah or go to GameCrazy / Gamestop and buy a $10 controller.

You actually have a choice of a NES or GC style controller for the Wii on top of the motion controllers.

I won't justify the Wii price-point, but if the Wii is your first jumping onto Nintendo games for at least a generation, then it's not really a bad deal if you have a used games store with a good selection of GC titles in your area. It sure doesn't beat having a console with Infinity Ward games on it of course, but then I'd just go with a PC for shooters anyways.

Not a big fan of CoD, heh. Greedy buggers.

If you want graphics, you'd best buy a PS3 and a fancy TV.

SNES, definitely.

@GoodGame: Gamecrazy is out of buisness, and has been since June.

I thought Megaman 64 was fun too, but many others said it was crap Really, the N64 had plenty of good games if you knew where to look. Its one flaw was the complete lack of RPGs. There was Quest 64 (a steaming pile), Aydin Chronicles (ditto), and Ogre Battle 64 (a great game that was more strategy than rpg).

You forgot Snowboard Kids!

ONE MORE THING: Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball

To this date remains the baseball game I've put more time into than all other baseball games combined. God damn that was a good game.
