Greatest Console, all time

[roflmao]

After Obey, I'd say the SNES/Super Famicom gets the most love in this household. PS1/2 and Dreamcast all get honorable mentions.

The Sega Saturn as it is the console that should have been the true followup of the PCE/Turbo instead of the PCFX.

put down the meth.

Sounds like someone likes the PC-FX. I just couldn't get into the system, maybe because I don't know Japanese? But yeah, seems like a lot of people here enjoy the snes which isn't a bad thing. I'm just burnt out on it after all these years unlike the PCE and the Saturn so many goodies to explore.

For me it is the Super Nintendo.  Massive library that is even bigger then the NES.  It did everything the NES did but bigger and better.  For me it is the pinnacle of both 16 bit gaming and gaming as whole.  No system has ever come close to the awesomeness of the SNES.

Even 20+ years games that were on the SNES continue to make the charts of the best games of all time.

SNES had so many Konami games. It's kind of ridiculous. I love my SNES. PCE/TG16 more, but still.

Cybernator
Twinbee
Contra III
Gradius III
Castlevania IV
Sunsetriders
Axelay

Minus the pce/turbo, I'll say snes also. Great library of rpgs, chrono trigger, earthbound, ff2 and 3, super mario rpg, secret of mana, lufia 2, etc. I was also a huge UN squadron fan, and so many other memorable games that many people have already mentioned.

I pretty much aggree but wonder where teh Neo Geo AES would fit in all that?

I honestly wouldn't put Neo Geo or TurboGrafx on the tops lists. I think an argument can be made that because either weren't well received, that they weren't able to reach their fullest potential and therefore are incomplete. Granted both are amazing as they stand. It's just that both could've been so much better.

I feel that since the Neo Geo never (to my knowledge) got any original console games or other ports from other companies that did not originate as a Neo Geo MVS game, it almost isn't even a home system.

not in the traditional sense........it was simply an Arcade in a box that you could plug into your tv.....

Of course when I say that about its game library I mean during the original system’s life span not the cool home brew games we see now a days.

Also a pretty fair criticism.

Go and see our new movie "Dumb and Dummber 2"!

[Opethian]

its not "simply an arcade box that you could plug into your tv"

it doesn't used the same carts at all

how can you ever draw that conclusion?

do you even know what AES stands for?

How could the Neo Geo not have reached its fullest potential? It was in arcade rotation (with new games) from 1990-2004. It was is the longest running arcade hardware (and home console). How could that not reach its fullest potential. The Dreamcast, on the other hand, was cut short. That didn't reach its fullest potential.

Anyway, my favourite console (outside of anything Obey related) would be a toss up between Megadrive, SNES/Super Famicom and the Saturn. Although, from a logical perspective, the PS2 is probably the best console ever (great library with access to the PS1 library as well) those three are my favourites.

Poppycock!  The NeoGeo did exactly what it was supposed to do, as it was never expected to be a direct competitor (in terms of console sales or game library size) to the Genny or SNES; and while the TG-16 didn't do so hot and has a smallish library, the PCE says who gives a f*ck?
