Default What other consoles do you have? And what's your favourite?

Do you only have a Wii? Or is there something else that keeps the gamer inside you at bay?

Between me and my bro's, we own the 3 current gen consoles and the 2 handhelds.

I'd have to say the 360 is my favourite. It's just got so many amazing things going for it at the moment. I think both the Wii and the PS3 have great potential, but if I had to keep one, I’d definitely save the X360.

Current-gen only the Wii interests me. For me, the rest are churning out bigger-better versions of old games, and I couldn't really care less.

Handheld, the DS is pretty great, with an abundance of good games that I end up playing even at home, so that's a big thumbs-up.

All-time favourites? Probably the Dreamcast, for which I have a huge collection of games (about 120 at last count) and I'll never stop playing, even if new stuff comes out. Trawling eBay for good DC games (particularly 2D fighters) is a favourite pastime even after 8 years, and I'm glad a small contingent of people and developers seem to feel the same way.
The Neo-Geo is equal first as well. I wanted but couldn't afford one for years, until I graduated and started working. Every game I get for that is an event, loved and cherished.

All-time favourite handheld is the Neo-Geo Pocket, not because I'm an SNK fanboy, but because I had the most fun with its games, and still play them.

Shame you don't live in Japan. They still make DC games over there.

But that's why I like the newer consoles. What you said about them churning out bigger and better versions. Well, that's what I want. I like new stuff, but for me, Mario should've stayed in 2D. I can't stand the 3D Mario's.

Ever since OOT I personally think that all Zelda games have gone downhill.

So I am happy with new things, but i'm just as happy with the same old crap bundled together time and time again with nothing more than newer levels

I currently own a Wii, PS2, Sega Saturn (in my attic)and an N64. I used to have a DS, but my parents sold it on me because they're b*****ds (I'm not going to get into it).

I have since gotten rid of all of my other consoles. I used to have an NES, SNES, PS1, Gamecube, and an Xbox. I've sold most of them for money to buy new ones.

Edit: I just realized the topic asked "What's your favorite?" The answer is Wii, 'cause it basically combines all of Nintendo's other great consoles into one with the VC, and it also plays Wii games in case you didn't know.

That's what the eBay trawls are for. Karous, Radirgy, Last Hope, Under Defeat... Trigger Heart Excelica and a bunch of others released since the "demise" of the DC. I have them all. None of the visual novels, though. Don't understand the appeal.

I currently just have my Wii, my old PlayStation and a GameBoy Advance. I had a GameCube but sold it for Wii. That Cube was on it's last days anyway with some loading problems and such.

My current favourite is the Wii since I spend a lot of time playing VC games and being on this forum on it via the internetchannel.

Currently still in my room:
GameCube (which has sad expression nowadays)
Wii
DSLite
GBA SP

The GBA SP is a dream of design (both inside & outside). As I find a black AGS-101 at a discounted price, I'm buying another one! Pity, my actual SP has a nice sticker of Ridley (from the cover of Zero MIssion) which makes it look so cool.

I only play my wii and DS. My wife would never stand the clutter of all my other consoles.

I also own:
SNES
SNES (american)
N64
Gamecube
Turbo Duo
PC Engine
PC Engine GT
Gameboy Colour
Gameboy Advance

I don't know what to do with them all. They're all stored away with the games The games are pretty much in an as new condition. The consoles are all well looked after. I'll have to ebay them sometime I suppose. Can't seem to do it though.

I own ever single system that Nintendo ever made (except for the virtual boy) and one of my favorite things to do is to go back and play all of my favorite games from years gone by.

Non-Nintendo consoles: Commodore Vic 20, Atari 2600, Sega Genesis, PS1, Xbox.
