Personally, the PS3 is my favourite. The OG backwards compatible one.
SNES or GameCube. Both were fantastic systems with tons of great games.
What is your favourite gaming console you have played?

The Nintendo wii

PS3. It’s probably wholly nostalgia but it was where I grew up playing games, even though the PS4 was well into its heyday by the time I got mine. So many games on there that I adore

The SNES had the perfect balance of old school arcade simplicity that anyone can pick up and play and modern sophistication for the era. Most of my favorite games of all time are SNES games.

It would be Nintendo 64 for me, but, that’s also like the last gaming console I ever bought. Played with the Wii for a bit since I lived with a friend who had one but… nothing since then. So maybe I should say my PC instead? ah, but that’s not an exclusive gaming console.
OK, yeah, N64 it is. I just beat Snowboard Kids 2 for the first time, unlocking all the boards. t’was dope.

Pegasus. You most likely never heard of it. It was super cheap Chinese clone of famicom downclocked to run with PAL TV standard. All cartriges in distribution were pirate. All of them. The unique property of downclocking was that all games ran around 20% slower than NES

Was that the same as the “Family Game“ ? Lots of people have that one back in the day, and multi-game pirate cartridges were very common too.

There were many ‘Famiclones’ in the mid-late 90s it was popular system sold under tons of different names.

I had the original Gameboy, and that was cool as fuck at the time. Later I had a PS2, loved that shit, spent an entire summer sat in a squat with my site boy mates, smoking crack and playing vice city. And silent hill, on my own, in the dark. Great machine, great memories.
But really I think my favourite is the one I have now, the OLED steam deck. Nostalgia aside, it’s amazing to see how tech has progressed in my lifetime. (My first computer had 1k RAM lol). Steam deck is, IMO, the best so far, certainly best I’ve had. I’m just pleased to have lived long enough to see things come so far from pong and pacman.

PS2, you never forget your first love.

I have to admit I love playing games on pc they do so much more. But the Dreamcast and the Genesis have a special place in my heart. I would love to have a gamepad with 6 facing buttons but I brought one of those hitbox thingies that has keys and is the fucking shit I tell ya and gone for half the price…

I would have to go with either the Steam Deck or the Oculus Quest. But realistically I’ve spent orders of magnitude more time on the Steam Deck so I’ll go with that. But both were revolutionary in a way that no other console approached. Sure, the PS2 was great, but it was just a PlayStation with better graphics, and the PlayStation was AMAZING, but in my mind it was a Nintendo with better graphics.

Sega Saturn and PlayStation Vita are honestly my favorites

My favorite is SNES, very closely followed by the Playstation. I never owned a Gamecube and Playstation 2 and missed some of the greatest games ever made of its time.

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.

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.

I feel like my steamdeck would be a cop out a bit but it is my favorite at the moment. It has all the consoles and my steam library of more than a decade. Plus I can switch between my laptop and my steamdeck without issues.
But if I were to guess off the top, it would probably be a toss up between Gameboy or GBA. So many good games and distractions from my early childhood.

Console-wise it’s the PS1.
I grew up a Nintendo kid but the PS1 was the first console I bought with my own money, bought and installed a mod chip myself, and played everything I could get my smelly teen hands on. That library of burned discs was a huge influence on my gaming tastes and is packed full of nostalgia for me.
9point6@lemmy.world 1 month ago
PS1 or Gameboy
Probably because they were the ones I had as a kid, but they both have great libraries of games from an era when it seemed like anything goes. Also the hardware limitations of each give the games a charming character

Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Playstation 1

I still have fond memories with my old family Wii growing up. It got given to charity but will always remember raging on MK.
ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I grew up with gamecube and xbox 360. Im partial to the wii because it can do both gamecube/wii nintendo games but there are very few wii games that i like that much that arent available on xbox

Whilst I have always been a playstation guy, I find that it all changed with the Xbox 360 vs PS3 war. Xbox 360 had some of the best games and ports. Xbox live was waaaay ahead of Sony for a long time. Basically started the indie scene for consoles.

Sega Genesis. We got it with Revenge of Shinobi, a game I still play with a soundtrack to rival some of the best Nintendo stuff (a very high bar), and Power Monger, one of the real fathers of RTS that ignited my love for strategy games.

GameCube. Just because it was the console I played most with my daughter. Mario Sunshine, Double Dash, Metroid Prime, Windwaker and Twilight Princess. Such fun! And the game discs were cute
mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Well since the Magnavox Odessy isn’t pictured I’ll have to pick the halo 3 edition of the Xbox 360. So many awesome memories of halo 3 online, cod black ops. GTA… Man.

Very fond of the PS1 as it was my primary console during childhood, especially the many JRPGs of the era but also other games like Ape Escape, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Syphon Filter, Soul Reaver 1, I go back to these every now and then.

Steam Deck. 100%. That thing rocks.
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
I love the Steam Deck, but wouldn’t count it as a console.
hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
It’s not a console in the traditional sense, where it has its own way of making games and has exclusive games, but it’s definitely meant to be a console like experience. In that regard, I would say it’s a non-traditional console.
