  I mean. in some ways its the odyssey because it has games that were so much better than other systems at the time despite it being black and white

  I recently modded a Wii and I must say it’s starting to become one of my favorite device.

    The PS3 is also a very good one, Oh! And the PSP!

  ps2.

  I loved the ps3 don’t take me wrong, but the ps2 just had that nostolgia and legacy aspects of it. The splash screen, the menu design, the simplicity. It was so nice.

  Wii hands down! I had twilight princess on release so it was soft modded early. I got to play super Nintendo super scope games on an lcd, and any Wii game I wanted. Dreamcast being a close second.

  The SNES will always be my favorite console. It’s got some stinkers in the library, but the best games of the console still frequently rank among theh best games ever made

    I got the SNES Classic just for Donkey Kong Country. The other games were a nice bonus. I have some novelty electronics that I never use anymore but that one gets pulled out on the regular.

    32-bit pixel art is basically the standard that all modern “retro” games use and the SNES was one of the best for it. Neo geo also was amazing for that art style.

  The Dreamcast and Wii are what comes to my mind.

  The DC was ahead of its time and has a kick ass library. It also had a sweet gimmick with the VMUs. If SEGA had supported the fuckin’ thing, it could have been even better. Perhaps even gotten further iterations. And if the VMUs came with it, they possibly could have figured out a console/handheld hybrid like the WiiU and Switch before Nintendo.

  The Wii is really just for it’s gimmick. The motion controls were super well done, especially after Wii Motion Plus. Even tho the only games these days I would go back and play are all the Wii Sports games and maybe uh… Forgot the name, but the samurai FPS game.

    Loved my Dreamcast. The multiplayer games were fantastic, and you could pirate games pretty easily. So many good memories of Soul Calibur parties

    Oh yea, the Wii was bae when it came out. I played Wii bowling so much.

    • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I regret not bringing mine when I moved just because the motion bar got busted. I could have replaced it hella easy and be playing Wii Tennis rn. 😩

  PS2. Due to it’s game library.

  Nintendo DS

  That era was do good that Nintendo didn’t even know what they had until they screwed it up and lost to modern smartphones.

  source

  • Ashtear@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    Other than PC, the SNES probably had my most favorite games, but the breadth of the library on the DS was fantastic. Once I got an R4 card and was able to stop carrying a dozen carts around, I was on it all the time.

  I think I liked all the ones I owned but switch was my fav since it had so much and 3rd party classics and everything and it was power efficient, compact, portable. Steam deck has taken over for me though. Way more of a swiss army knife.

• theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  N64 for me partially nostalgia but I still love the cartridges even though i know they are sub optimal and the controller and the games in general are still top tier to me.

  source
• zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Gamecube probably holds the most special place in my heart. More for the games that released for it than for the console itself.

  source

  • _aj@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I love the design of the console. It’s fun, which was miles away from the testosterone teenage boy styling of the ps2 ( no shade still a good design)

    But. The controllers weren’t the most comfortable.

    source

    • zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It was definitely the most portable console. Made it very easy to just throw it in a backpack and bring to friends’ places for Smash Bros nights.

      source
  • TootSweet@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Came here to say this. N64’s a close second, but a the re-releases of N64 games on the Gamecube helped a lot with that too.

    source
  • ProfessorScience@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, I think Gamecube would win for me if just for all the time spent playing Smash Bros in college.

• DigDoug@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Playstation 1

  Over 4000 games, many of which are weirdly experimental because “how to make 3D games” wasn’t codified yet, and CDs gave developers about 20 times more space than they had on the biggest cartridges - not to mention the lower cost of production.

  Also, most of the soundtracks are absolute bangers.

  • homes@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    PS1 was truly an amazing console

  Ranked:

  1. SNES for sure. I fucking loved Super Mario World. It’s probably why I love video games tbh
  2. PS2, the first thing I ever bought with my own money was a video game for the PS2 we got for Christmas. It was the Medal of Honor trilogy
  3. PS1. Vandal Hearts permanently changed my preference of video games
  4. PS3. Skyrim.
  5. Xbox One. I know, I know, I can hear the boos from here. It got me through some tough shit and I loved that system. I used it for years before microslop permanently bricked it with a bad firmware update
  6. PS5. I was one of the elite gamers to get a hold of one before they launched (/s). I was a QA tester for Call of Duty, and used the same system for my entire time at that job. I became an expert with that dev kit.
  7. N64. It was a lot of fun, but it just never held the appeal over the ones above
  8. Xbox 360. I liked playing it, but I never got much time with it
  9. Xbox series S. It’s a streaming box. When I worked on CoD I was getting game pass for free. Without it, it quickly became obsolete with my arr setup
  10. PS4. My retail experience was fine. Working with it on CoD fucking sucked and is the reason I hate the system.

  My first console was a sega mega drive. My favourite was the PlayStation 2

• DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I haven’t played many, more of PC gamer. But, of the Atari 2600, Radio Shack TV Scoreboard, Atari 5200, Sega Genesis, GameCube, and Wii, I’ll pick the Sega Genesis.

  360 for me. All my friends had one and spent soooo much time playing halo 3 and GoW online. Good times

• Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  The original Xbox was my absolute favorite. Still old enough to have the classic memory cards and weird console ports, but new enough that its all actually just reskinned pc hardware. The UI was simple but easy and had this fantastic early 2k style. I didn’t even care that it was disgustingly green.

  On top of all that, it was an era where basically everything could get greenlit. Shrek sequel game? Do it. Bounty hunter in a batshit crazy world using bigs as bullets? Knock yourself out. Love letter to golden eye, even if we can’t get the rights? You bet! What if I wanna watch softcore porn with the bros but justify it by saying we’re gaming? That’s fucking weird, but have at it. Literally anything could get a game.

  Dreamcast.

  • SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    That would get my vote, too! A pity the hardware potential was limited by the drive type … if only they’d done a revised version with DVD or something

    I really enjoyed Soul Caliber and Metropolis Street Racer :-)

• iamthetot@piefed.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I honestly don’t know how I could pick one favourite. I have super fond memories of the Sega Genesis, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, I really could not say which one is a favourite.

  source
• Leviathan@fedinsfw.app ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  SNES or PS1

  source
• AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Definitely a tie between xbox360 and PS2.

  Definitly not biased because they’re the 2 consoles I played the most growing up. No. There’s a totally reasonable explanation. And would you look at the time! Gotta blast!

  source
• sickday@fedia.io ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  PS2 or PS1. I played the PS2 more than the PS1 but the PS1 is more nostalgic for some reason. I don't think the games were better per say but I have fonder memories on SO2 than eg. Til the End of Time. Really wish they'd remake Tales of the Abyss tho

• sleepmode@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I played the absolute crap out of my Genesis more than anything else, i was obsessed with SF:2 CE and the six button controller was a game changer. But for every other genre the SNES has more of my favorite games compared to any system I have. There’s just a charm and feeling of care put into some its games that is just leaps and bounds above everything. Hard to describe.

  For pure slickness of the hardware and user experience—the Gamecube, NeoGeo Pocket Color and Dreamcast mesmerized me upon purchase from that alone. Of course they all have some bangers. Also the joystick on the NGPC is amazing.

  I couldn’t possibly choose. To this day I still get a lot of mileage out of the SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, GBA, and Nintendo DS libraries.

• ICastFist@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  PS1, I had the original gray box and later the small white boy. Both modded to accept any CD from the get go (yay for Brazilian piracy!), which brought me great joy once broadband internet reached my home in late 2003.

• BurntWits@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’ll always have a 360 laying around ready to be played, so probably that if I had to choose. Every other console has come and gone, and now I don’t have time for games anymore, though I do have a pc and a ps5 (ps5 is mostly for BD/DVD these days), but I still have my 360 plugged in and off, just needs to be turned on and hdmi connected.

  • Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I recently found out that you can soft hack them really easily, literally drag and drop onto a flashdrive and plug it in. If you ever find the time you should definitely try.

    • BurntWits@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      My wife still has her 360 too, so we’ve got two at home, just one is put away but I know exactly where it is. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these days.
