I am 61. And my choice is easy, TurboGrafx 16, PC Engine. Mainly because of my love for shooters. I am an arcade type gamer. Vertical or horizontal, I am there. From day one when I picked the system off the shelf at a Toys-R-Us, no other system stood a chance at taking first place. There have been a few that have tried but failed.
Also given it’s the most owned game system and by a landslide, but it’s not just because it sold a lot but because it set the standard. It innovated, it excelled, pushed forward what gaming is and should always be. Not to mention like you mentioned, the massive game library of two systems..the reasons could go on, ohhhh and also it had a DVD player, and added on to the most ground breaking controller, perfecting it before Xbox did which took them until the next generation to even have a good controller (also I love both Xbox and PlayStation to death)
PS1's Game Library is a seperate thing though (and in my very personal opinion, even greater than PS 2's Library), but that's up to everyone's taste and opinion of course
@@SoulforReal88 Sure, I can see that. It's just for me, I didn't get to experience the PS1 in its heyday (N64 kid here) so it wasn't until PS2 that I got to play it. The fact that pretty much everything on PS1 worked on PS2 without any problems/emulation hiccups etc. has always caused me to naturally lump the two consoles together. Even today, I have gone through over six PS2 consoles and have never bought a single PS1, but have always been experiencing fresh and interesting PS1 games ^^ Why just the other night I finally played ユーラシアエクスプレス殺人事件, a murder mystery interactive story in the vein of 街 that really impressed me :D It's amazing that even after all these years the system's library has so many surprises in store!
My favorite console has: -Blast Processing! -When expanded to the max requires 3 power adapters! -Megatron's new alt-mode is this machine -Has the coolest name ever! Yeah the Sega Mega-Drive!
Just want to say so far amazingly interesting choices based on age! I am soo happy about the younger generation after me, they have their shit together :) impressed and I am soo glad there is an appreciation for the older systems. I have always 100% felt they have held up well most of them.
Amazing choice, Johnny. To be honest most people would of chose the ps2 over the ps1 that it can play ps1 games. (of course among many other reasons! I love the ps2!) But to be honest your choice was wise man. I don't know if my reason makes any sense lol. But yeah most have to agree with me that in 1998, that had to of been one of the best years of gaming. If you look back most of the best games came out that year, truly amazing. Great video you guys! (: P.s my favorite console is on a tough choice between the SNES and the original playstation, and I'm 25.
31 and proud to say that my favorite is the SNES!! My god the NES was awesome but when this thing hit...changed everything for me! So many great memories and i still play it more than anything else I own!
Glad to hear you guys mention Parasite Eve on PS1. It was the first RPG I'd ever bought, and it blew me away at the time. I guess it just gets overshadowed by all of the other great games from Square at the time.
1, Sony Playstation 1 - first console to absolutely blow me away. 2, Sega Megadrive - first console I owned and the one I'm most nostalgic over. 3, Nintendo Gamecube - the library and that controller... I'm 25...
I was 24 when you posted this comment ha Ironically we grew with the same consoles Mega drive was my First Console then eventually got a PlayStation 1 and loved the console so many good games I would say I think the GameCube had some cool underrated games But the PlayStation 2 had the JRPGs so that's where I went :D Mega drive PlayStation 1 PlayStation 2
@@HollowRick I was 26. The PS2 was a phenomenal console. I have more games on the PS2 than I do on the GameCube, but the GameCube just did something for me. It was also the first console that I played the whole night through without realizing it! Haha! EDIT: Just re-read my old comment. Apparently I was 25... I just turned 33...
I'm 24 And as much as i loved playing on my Sage Mega Drive i have to say PS1 was the best! Crash Bandicoots, Spyros, Abe's Oddysee, Soul Blade i could go on for hours!
My favorite game console always has been and always will be the Super NES. Beautiful colorful game sprites and a great soundchip made for so many amazing SNES games. A close second is the Playstation 3.
I wonder what these guys does for a living. They just seem so happy and positive. They must have jobs they really love. Either that or their home life is amazing!
I'm 18 and my favorite console is the n64, it had everything, great look, powerful system, memorable games, and it the was the last console that played cartridges
While it's not my favorite console ..I totally agree with you... it had so many things that was not implemented into other consoles YEARS later... the only reason why it didn't get the notice that it should was because Sega previous to dream cast had sooooooooooo burn bridges...from sayurn, 32x and so much more.where they would only have so little library for their add on like the 32x..that by the time they brought something so great as the dream cast they lost so much fan base... which goes to show how much that is worth... same thing happened to blackberry...just because you are on top and people put up with your crap doesn't mean some else will come along and still your thunder ... which history is repeating with apple
Dreamcast is AMAZING!! I was lucky enough to get one when it came out (thanks parents!) and I played it hard until it went under. Jet Grind Radio, Marvel VS capcom 2, Soul Calibre, Power Stone, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia, Tony Hawk Pro Skater... I had to choose SNES as my all time favorite, but the dreamcast is not far behind!
Oh man power stone!!! My friend had that game and we used to play that for days... I still wonder why they haven't brought that back out ... or even make a copy style of it
Absolutely adore your show! The nostalgia and passion you guys have just completely makes my day! I wish I could if grew up in your era and grow with these consoles like you did. Keep up the great work! Fan out in NC
I'm 20 and my favorite game systems are the PS2 and SNES. Timeless games on both consoles. My favorite games on the PS2 are God of War 2, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Bully, GTA III, and Vice City My favorite games on the SNES are Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Final Fantasy III/VI.
PS2, it just has amazing games for fans of every genre. Sure it might not have as many of the true classics but the sheer quantity and variety while still having so much quality pushes it above all other consoles in my opinion. And I've been playing games since the original NES when it was new.
I'm 32 Fave console is the Genesis. Hands down. But the funny thing is : I only got a Genesis recently. I grew up a Nintendo kid! Love my memories of playing the NES and the SNES (especially the Square RPGs on the latter one). But despite all that, the Genesis has won me over. It might be because it's game library is more varied, I feel, than that of the SNES. And nowadays I've moved away from RPGs and prefer to play sideview action platformers more. Soundwise, FM synth-based music resonates more with me as well. Gotta say though : the PS1 is a damn fine pick and I considered it as well. I had one as ateen and loved playing Resident Evil 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3... it just has so. damn. many. great. games... the list goes on and on and on
I'm 37, and mine is the PS2. All the hype around it in the year 2000, year of my firstborn child.....and all the memories of playing with friends from 3 different phases of my life over the following 7 years.....and the ability to play all of my PS1 favs when I wanted that fix! My first DVD player.....the sweet design.....and online play! Yeah, what a system :D
I'm 21, and my favorite videogamesystem is the Nintendo Gamecube. I grew up on the Nintendo 64, but it was with the Gamecube my passion for games really kicked in. It doesn't have the biggest or objectivly best game-library, but it has the biggest heart. And I couldn't love it more! I sold my entire gamecube collection in 2007 in exchange for a lot of new Xbox360 games. It was soon after that I really could tell how much I loved the Gamecube, cause my regret for that decission was heartbreaking. I've been able to collect my entire collection back now, and that makes me happy!
why not the nintendo wii? it can play gamecube games AND has some N64 games available for download. it also has other old games from different consoles available too. oh, and it can play wii games, forgot about that.
32 years old and my favorite console is the Playstation. It definitely had a lot of solid starts to many legendary series, and the memories I have of running home from school to sink as much time into Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX are bountiful.
to name a few great PS1 titles I still play: Tekken3 RE 1, 2 and 3 Fighting Force FF VII, VIII and IX Silent Hill MGS Crash Team Racing And who remembers all those awesome demos that came with the magazines? And Net Yaroze games, they were awesome!
***** My brother gave them all away to his friend, so he can borrow his dreamcast for two weeks :( If you know anywhere I could buy them all, let me know!
First of all! Love all your videos. Great job guys!!!! I'm 27 and it's a tie between my Super Nintendo and my ps1! SNES was my childhood as to the PS1 was more hardcore gaming.
I'm 30 and hands down snes. Zelda was the game I spent my time on! just seen you on vics vids. been watching him since he aired. I'm very happy he has introduced me to you. I will be watching every video you have ever posted.
I'm currently 23, and I'd definitely have to say the Super Nintendo. So many masterpieces on there, and I feel like I'm discovering more and more of them every year!
@JulianRock lol, I'm surprised you actually looked at that. My cousin made that banner and my profile picture for me YEARS ago, like in 2015 or so, and I've always stuck with it. I can't remember why he put the 1987 thing, I guess he just thought it sounded cool. I was born in 1997, though.
I'm 21 and weirdly enough my favorite console is the almighty SNES! My older brother had it and it got passed down to me and the rest is history. It has the most perfectly diverse library of games in my humble opinion. Runner up is the N64, Because OoT and Mario 64. Seriously, that's ALL you ever need.
Your story isn't so uncommon. A lot of us didn't discover older systems until long after they were obsolete. I didn't get an NES until September 2001. The GAMECUBE was just a couple months away, and here I was hooking up an 80s console to a Zenith TV of similar vintage in my garage.
33 years old here. Sega Saturn my all time favorite console juts a beast machine for shumps and beat em up's Second Megadrive so many classics on that machine it is just unreal and the greatest ever series was on that machine the mighty Streets Of Rage.
i'm 23. grew up with nes snes n64 ps1 ps2 and gamecube :) play with my ps3 and wii u currently. will game forever but i will in fact hold the gamecube as my dearest system forever. just love it and i do love the original wii as well but man. it's games like super mario sunshine, twilight princess, mario party 4, soul calibur 2, luigi's mansion, super smash bros melee, paper mario thousand year door, mario kart double dash, beyond good and evil, timesplitters 2, timesplitters future perfect, resident evil remake, resident evil 0, and of course the legendary resident evil 4 that have made me the gamer I am today.
Im 30 And Im still Inlove with my SNES. Im so glad Now that I can Afford the games I couldnt as a kid!!! hahahah cheers from a modest collector! in Argentina!!
hands down the ps1 for me it was my first console I ever played I was born in 1997 im 18 now and the frirst game I played was resident evil 1 I was stupid and sold it for a ps2 I eventually got it back with most of my games and getting new ps1 games was more fun to me then getting a new 360 and I discovered new ps1 games like driver and all the final fantasys on ps1 I got power puff girls on ps1 and I love that game lol but resident evil 2 is my favorite ps1 game and by far my favorite game of all time
JustinChipman Show You know that you can play PS1 games on the PS2 right? I understand owning the system is better than just playing the games on another but the option is there.
JustinChipman Show You should get a PS4, it's expensive but you can get Playstation now which allows you to download exclusives from past Playstations.
I got the play station as a gift for Christmas way back in 1998. It's still hooked up to the original tv I played it on to this day, and still works perfectly. What a console! I was 7 when I got it. In 2002 I got the GameCube, another of my faves! And 2010 I got the ps3 which I'm playing a lot lately, these are my 3 favourite!
The NES was my first console. I saw Atari 2600 after. I remember the day my dad brought the NES home and set it up. Came with 2 games, w controllers and a gun for Duck hunt. I remember sitting in school dying to get home because I knew we were driving to get Zelda. I watched the cartoon and that sword was awesome! I would save up money for chores. My cousin had all the games and when I first saw Mario 3 at his house I couldn't think of anything else. I didn't see the game in the Wizard but it blew me away. Systems and games don't make me feel that way anymore. Great times.
I have really strange, fond memories of the Saturn because I only ever rented it from Blockbuster. We had parties were my brother and a few friends and I played through Cyber Speedway, Virtua Fighter, and Resident Evil together. Based just off that ridiculous selection of games, I recall being really in love with it. If I had bought it I would probably feel differently...
***** Well that wasn't the only reason >< what with the bad launch and stores boycotting it. I have only played saturn once or twice but is a console I have always wanted to get into...love every sega system released.
I still remember the surprise lauch. I walked into my local games store and saw a video screen running saturn video. "huh, that's cool, I'm going to watch this for a while", I thought. There was no internet back then so watching video was a rare treat. Then I realized it was a looking attract screen for Panzer Dragoon. "what a weird video", I thought. Then I looked over and saw that it was being piped from the console that was just sitting there waiting to be played. Then I saw a bunch of boxes behind the counter. "Is that... for sale?", I asked. The guy behind the counter just casually said "yeah.". It's almost impossible to explain how bizarre this was to a modern gamer who wasn't there for it.
my favorite game console is the gamecube, i remember being 6 or 7 and me and my brother popped in spiderman and the graphics blew me away, its also the best console for resident evil games.
its a cube that plays games lol the design is perfect for its name, i wouldn't necessarily say the gamecube has the best game library but it was the first console i re bought because i missed it from childhood
Steve Jobs was going to make an apple computer that was shaped like a cube because he was obsessed with the cube as being the most beautiful shape in the world. Then Nintendo beat him to it. He might argue that the handle ruins it, but I think it was really necessary. Picking it up without it would have been a real problem for people with small hands.
I'm 16 and I know almost anything from the 80's (Thanks Mom, AVGN, ALPHAOMEGASIN, and Happy Console Gamer) I do like playing the old retro games on virtual console or the arcade games on the Xbox Live. Though I just want to say that my favorite console would have to be the Nintendo DS cause It was my first console, but I liked the idea of taking games where ever you want. Then it had 2 screens. At the time that was interesting to me. Then the DS had a lot of ports as well.sure I got the Nintendo 3DS when it came out and then the New Nintendo 3DS, but I have to go with the one that started it all.
Im 15 but my first console was game boy advance. I was like the only one who'd experience playing pokemon, good memories back then. But i had alot of memory on my ps2 the most. So im going with that for my fav console :3
Im 29. Ps2 and snes. Snes was what I grew up with, and the games still hold up to this day. Great graphics, great rpgs, huge library. Ps2 was the first console that was bought for me , brand new, that was all my own. I grew up with the snes but I grew into gaming with the ps2. My favorite console.
born in 87. I was a little too young to really play any NES or SNES games on my own; I mostly watched my brother play. But when the N64 came out, I felt like it was truly my console and I was at a great age to play it. The hours spent with family and friends playing Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, WCW/NWO world tour, Killer Instinct Gold. The hours adventuring on my own in OoT, Majoras Mask, Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64… yeah wow what a library of games. They were perfect for me at my age.
My choice would be the 60gb PS3. (Not the ones striped of Backwars Compatibility) Not only could it play my entire sony collection, but as a person who's addicted to having multiple saves for games, this console was a godsend! It also was a multimedia device so if I wanted to do other things than play a game, the console was still valable. (I've *never* been fond of a console that can only do gaming) It still used the controller I'm more efficient with, and it had the the ability to install Linux...! until sony too that away:-( If I can't separate the Good PS3 from the gimped ones, then I'll vote for the PS2 (The fat ones, not the slim ones. They couldn't read official Sony PS one memory cards.) It is the console I've played the most. It also what the first console I bought. (Every PS one I had were built from broken PS ones that were threw away. Good thing I didn't care if people were making fun of me dumpster diving)
HARRY JC I agree that the fat PS3 is badass. I was able to find one one ebay for a good price and now get to play PS1/PS2/PS3 games with just one console. The only drawback being that the fans are loud and it heats up quickly.
Barry wallace no way. PS2 is untouchable in terms of depth. PS1 rpgs were carried by Square, whereas the PS2 had multiple top tier developers and series. SMT, Tales, .hack, Shadow Hearts, the LV5 games. Xenosaga. The Suikoden games, although not adding much new, generelly improved. Then you saw interesting new concepts in games like Metal Saga, Steambot Chronicles and Graffiti Kingdom. Square had some great games too, although they were surely disappointing compared to their PS1 output. You could argue that PS1 was more revolutionary. In terms of top end I agree, but I think that kind of comparison is very arbitrary and frankly useless since we live in the now. Although the ps3 gen have superior technology, I still think the ps2 have better games, because the writing, design and gameplay make up for the lacking graphics. When comparing ps1 and ps2 I think the games are generally better on ps2 in all categories, not just graphics. And the sheer amount of great rpgs is on a whole other level.
going back to see your videos. I'm 34 and my console I would pick is the SNES. I had regular Nintendo back in the late 80s but the SNES is what really pushed me to love gaming.
Totally agree. N64 was groundbreaking. Four controller ports, rumble pak, 3D worlds, etc... Goldeneye is one of the most important games in the history of the FPS genre. Super Smash, Mariokart, Mario Party, Diddy Kong racing, Gauntlet Legends and many other games revolutionized same room group gaming. 3D world interaction in games such as Zelda, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and many others just blew our minds when they came out. So many huge leaps in gaming on one platform. I could go on and on about how awesome and innovative the N64 was and still is. No other system brought as much pure happiness and joy.
I'm 30 and the Genesis was my 1st console after playing NES at my cousin's for such a long time. Genny died and I bought a SNES, then sold that to get a PS1 and eventually PS2/PS3, Dreamcast, etc. I never owned any Nintendo systems after the SNES. Anyway, I'm a collector now and have been playing retro nonstop. My favorite has to be the PS1 as well, it was just a magical time when you would see all these 3D games in the arcades and to finally have that at home was amazing. I remember playing Tekken 1 and being AMAZED at the graphics.
I'm 31. My first system was a Nintendo Entertainment System! My older brother introduce me to the Sega Genesis (Mortal Kombat trilogy) when he came home from college. I used to RENT Super Nintendo, N64, PlayStation One (Pizza Hut demo discs) from the video store.. It wasn't until High School my parents got the family and I a Playstation 2. Towards the end of high school I bought a Gamecube for $99 and Mario Party 7 bundle (Four controllers and a blow stick)..When the Nintendo Wii came out our parents, bought one for the Christmas holiday. Later.. I bought a DS Lite with New Super Mario Brothers, Star Fox command and Mario Kart. I had a used backwards compatible 60 GB ps3 (IT broke).. As a hobby now.. I've refurbished NES (Evil pin connectors) Atari, Game Boy Original Brick (vertical lines) Just discovered your show I have.. I'll be back.
For me it would be either PSP or PS1 I mean PS1 was mine childhood I played all Tomb Raider games back there I didn't liked MGS actually and now it's like my favourite franchise I played Twisted Metal it was so great but I've actually never owned a system it was mostly at my friends houses and sometimes I borrowed it PSP was when I started to seriously play all of console games and also replaying those PS1 games it was and it is great., Yeah PS1 is my favourite system and I'm 20 years old ;p
Some PS1 games dont play well on the PSP, but I still love the hell out of it. Best way other than the PS1 to play those games. The shooters fighters and RPGs all play great on it. wish it had the L2 and R2 buttons and some analog sticks but 95 percent of the time you can find a way to make the ps1 games work near perfectly on the PSP. I see people playing with their phones and touch screens and it just makes me cringe. You can get a PSP for so cheap nowadays and they are so easy to mod its not even funny. Then all you need is a couple of micro SD cards and a 2 in 1 adapter to Memory Stick Duo and you are set. Even thou I download all my PSP games in ISO format, I still buy and collect PSP games. With them on the mem stick, they load faster and the batteries go a lot longer, and you are still using native hardware with the games, so theres no emulation issues cuz you're not emulating them. I love the PSP, and I feel people are missing out on it to this day. I have a lil trouble with a few EBOOT PS1 to PSP files but not many. and the ones that I do, I just play them on my PS1/2/3 . Some Ive had problems with off the top of my head are Skull Monkeys, Dragon Warrior 7 (loads but screen is just blank, can hear sound), MK Trilogy (loads but locks up quickly), Viewpoint, Doom, Kartia (loads but glitches out a lot). But besides those Ive had little problems with the PS1 to PSP. Check out emuParadise for the eboot files. Sorry for rattling on, but I do love me some PS1/PSP. anyone who is doubting the PSPs awesome-ness give it another try. Even if you dont like any PSP games you still have most of the PS1 library , not to mention all the emus you can find for it (the SNES ones never work well for me) and its a much cheaper alternative to Iphones and Android devices
I've always found the Playstation controller to be absolutely atrocious for fighting games. The D-pad always has been miserable where diagonal inputs and precision are concerned.
I’m 20 grew up on wii,GameCube,360 and PS3 out of all of those things the GameCube and PS3 hold a lot of memories for me.But when I finally got my hands on a PS2 I was blow away I loved that thing.
I'm 15 and my favourite was the GameCube. I remember sittting with my brother and playing luigis mansion, windwaker, super Mario sunshine, kicking his ass in smash bros melee, billy hatcher, loved that thing so much
Federico Feroldi hey. to each their own. I'm 32, and NES is my favorite, and I never played a SMS til I was 29. Which I now have, It's my 3rd fav console. I have no issue putting the PS2 in my top 5
33 here. The SNES has always been my favorite but as I've gotten older the portability of consoles such as the switch and 3ds are for sure rising in the ranks.
37 years old and I've been a lifelong gamer since the Atari 5200 at the age of 4. I had to think REALLY hard about this one because I was an original elementary school Nintendo brat and LOVED my Sega Genesis. I loved the deeper, adventurous games from NES like Milon's Secret Castle, Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man, but I was also an arcade freak and Street Fighter 2 and Neo Geo cabs took large portions of my allowance at the mall. SO, after all that pompous wordiness, my favorite console of all time is the short lived Sega Dreamcast. I got it on 9/9/99 at the age of 21 and it did everything I always wanted in a console. It had deep adventure games AND perfect ports (in Soul Calibur's case, a better port) of arcade games. It was my dream console in my face! Me and my friends didn't emerge from my house for almost two days because of 2 player House of the Dead with light guns, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxy and Power Stone. It was like living in an arcade. Also, the BEST version of Resident Evil 2. Every console has been doing this since the days of xbox and PS2 but this was the FIRST to get it right. Sega Dreamcast.... My favorite console of all time.
I had Dreamcast back when it come out. Playing those games felt you were on the cutting edge of gaming. Sega was hitting all cylinders, doing groundbreaking things. Shenmue is the best game I ever played.
I'm 22 and my absolute favorite console is the PlayStation 2. all my favorite games are on there. Fur Fighters, Smugglers Run, The Bouncer, Final Fantasy X to X11, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Dragon Quest 8, the list goes on and on. My older brother and I had so much fun playing together with it, and I'd love to buy it once more, along with the games we used to have.
I'm 27 and my favorite console of all time remains the Sega Dreamcast. It wasn't my first console, that honor belongs to the PS1, and I'd played the Sega Genesis at a friend's house years earlier but the Dreamcast absolutely awed me. It had so many fantastic games that I played to death after school and on weekends, oftentimes with my sisters. Shenmue, Blue Stinger, Grandia II, Resident Evil-Code Veronica, Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future, Jet Set Radio, MDK2, Dead or Alive 2, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, and Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. Plus, the VMU was so cool and unique. Part of the fun of getting a new Dreamcast game was seeing what would be on the VMU screen. Not to mention those mini games!
I'm 30 and while I have so many fond memories with NES, SNES, and Genesis, getting the Playstation and FF7 for my Christmas/Birthday will forever remain the best present I ever received. Gaming became a whole experience and if you were 9-13 when it came out, like me and my brother, your life was changed over it.
I have to say my favorite system is the SNES. It was everything great about the NES but with better quality in all departments. I'm 19 going onto 20 btw.
DrLite what? Double Dash is the best with only MK8 as competition. Wind Waker is the second best Zelda game ever. Melee is glorious! What are you talking about?
I'm 36 and my two favorites are the NES and N64. It is hard for me to choose between those two for my favorite. The NES was what started my love for video games, and I still love the challenge of trying to beat some of those hard NES games. The N64 was the party machine and I have so many great memories of playing great four player games like Goldeneye 007, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, No Mercy, and so many more with friends after school. Whenever my old friends and I can get together under the same roof, we still break out the N64! It also had some of the greatest and most revolutionary single player games of all time as well like Super Mario 64, StarFox 64, and Ocarina of Time.
I'm 28 and started with the Atari 2600 and NES as a kid. My Top 5: 1. Gamecube Best 3D Nintendo game library hands down. 2. PS2: A quality game library so big, and so many good platformer franchises got their start here: Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank. Plenty of decent co-op and multiplayer games, 3D GTA, great for games requiring peripherals (rock band, guitar hero, DDR). It may be a somewhat old system, but I still play it today. 3. Xbox360 So many great games, Halo games, Bioware games, I'm still finding good titles for it and the graphics were amazing for its time and still don't look half bad 4. N64: While not the best looking console in the world, here is Nintendo's transition to 3D that worked out fantastically. Even though the system only had about 300 North American games, so many of them were unique experiences unlike the plethora of copy-paste games we see in modern consoles. Also, the 4 player multiplayer support made it so much fun to game with friends and family. 5. NES: While it does not have as many games that I fondly remember as some of the above consoles, the heavy hitters it had are still loved and played today. The original Legend of Zelda, all the Mario Bros. games (including my all time favorite game Mario Bros. 3), Kirby's Adventure, you can find some real quality here.
mightyvoovoo lol I was kind of thrown off for a second. Either he was being sarcastic or I'm mistaken. Yep, God of War certainly was a great game. Playstation 2 was such a great console, I'm sure if you dig around the house you'll find 2 in the closet and one under the bed somewhere.
I'll be 35 this year, and it's really tough to pick one, as I was 6 when the NES came out, and it was what got me into gaming, and I grew up with gaming. NES in early childhood, SNES/Genesis in my middle childhood, and PS1/N64 in my teens. But if I really had to pick one, I think I would have to go with the PS1. It was the first system I got when it was still fairly new. All of the other ones I didn't till after it had been out for years. So when I got it for Christmas, I was so thrilled, not to mention the step up into 3D graphics were exciting times (even though they look like junk today). The two truly mind blowing games I remember for that system were FFVII and Metal Gear Solid. They really showed how you could put emotion and a great storyline into a game (although FFVI still had the better story, IMO). Lots and lots of great memories.
I received the NES for my 11th birthday in 1988. It was completely unexpected, and I absolutely loved that system. Trading games with my friends, and marathon sessions of Simon's Quest and Zelda are some of my favorite memories of that system. I bought a Genesis a few years later, and that would bet second choice.
The console that gives me the warm fuzzy feeling inside is the PS2 because of the extensive library and it contains my favorite fighting game, beat 'em up, and racing game (Def Jam FFNY, The Warriors, NFS Most Wanted) so many great memories and plus it is the only console to not give me any annoying system problems besides freezing every once in awhile, then I'd say the Super nintendo because that was the first console i played on.
I'm 31, and my favorite video game system is the PSX (PS1). It's the first system that genuinely made me enjoy gaming on home consoles, as I was big on fighting games before I had my time with it -- and the best version of the fighting games I liked were in the arcades. It's also the console that made me like other genres besides fighting games.
18, The Super Nintendo and the Gamecube without question. There are so much memories I have had with these two but also for the amazing library each has. The SNES alone was responsible for my obsessive interest in the retro scene for the past few years learning of all these consoles and games that I would've shared the same memories with if I had them. The GBA my favorite handheld could be played on the Gamecube and the console had so many collections from previous gens like Zelda collectors edition introducing me to OoT my favorite game ever.
I'm almost 23 and it has to be PS2, I've played a ton of games on SNES and Pegasus, but the most entertaining games were on PS2. Can't imagine my life as a gamer without the ps2 memories :)
im 30 and my favorite console is the NES and SMS, perhaps because they where the first i played, but they where just awesome, i still got them both, and they still work. a very big seller on these is the fact that the games and console had to work and be finished when shipped, there was no way of updating it later on... i really miss those days.
I'm 29, my first console was a Master System and I've got almost all of the major consoles (portables included) released since then, that said, my favorite of all time is the PS3. It's the one I have the fondest memories, the best games IMO and it was in a great time in my life in general. It already makes nostalgic to think about it :')
31 years old here My favorite ever is also Playstation 1! Suikoden Suikoden II Grandia Alundra Thousand Arms Lunar Silver Star Story Complete Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete Beyond the Beyond Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX Tales of Destiny I and II Dragon Warrior VII Chrono Cross I could keep going on and on. The JRPG's of PS1 just had such a huge effect on me as well as a young teenager.
I am 61. And my choice is easy, TurboGrafx 16, PC Engine. Mainly because of my love for shooters. I am an arcade type gamer. Vertical or horizontal, I am there. From day one when I picked the system off the shelf at a Toys-R-Us, no other system stood a chance at taking first place. There have been a few that have tried but failed.
I love shooters too
I've recently discovered the shooters on PC Engine and they are marvelous.
29, PS2 ~ Having access to two immense game libraries in one console makes it a no-brainer ~
+CarmenOfSpades lol good point, and the controller is slightly better too (has joysticks, but not so damn heavy)
Also given it’s the most owned game system and by a landslide, but it’s not just because it sold a lot but because it set the standard. It innovated, it excelled, pushed forward what gaming is and should always be.
Not to mention like you mentioned, the massive game library of two systems..the reasons could go on, ohhhh and also it had a DVD player, and added on to the most ground breaking controller, perfecting it before Xbox did which took them until the next generation to even have a good controller (also I love both Xbox and PlayStation to death)
PS1's Game Library is a seperate thing though (and in my very personal opinion, even greater than PS 2's Library), but that's up to everyone's taste and opinion of course
@@SoulforReal88 Sure, I can see that. It's just for me, I didn't get to experience the PS1 in its heyday (N64 kid here) so it wasn't until PS2 that I got to play it. The fact that pretty much everything on PS1 worked on PS2 without any problems/emulation hiccups etc. has always caused me to naturally lump the two consoles together. Even today, I have gone through over six PS2 consoles and have never bought a single PS1, but have always been experiencing fresh and interesting PS1 games ^^ Why just the other night I finally played ユーラシアエクスプレス殺人事件, a murder mystery interactive story in the vein of 街 that really impressed me :D It's amazing that even after all these years the system's library has so many surprises in store!
Also wow, it was four years ago when I made that original comment? Man, how the time flies!
I'm 21, and it's gotta be Dreamcast for me. So many amazing exclusives that helped kickstart my love for gaming.
My favorite console has:
-Blast Processing!
-When expanded to the max requires 3 power adapters!
-Megatron's new alt-mode is this machine
-Has the coolest name ever!
Yeah the Sega Mega-Drive!
Just want to say so far amazingly interesting choices based on age! I am soo happy about the younger generation after me, they have their shit together :) impressed and I am soo glad there is an appreciation for the older systems. I have always 100% felt they have held up well most of them.
26 and still loving my ps2 and ds lite!!
Amazing choice, Johnny. To be honest most people would of chose the ps2 over the ps1 that it can play ps1 games. (of course among many other reasons! I love the ps2!) But to be honest your choice was wise man. I don't know if my reason makes any sense lol. But yeah most have to agree with me that in 1998, that had to of been one of the best years of gaming. If you look back most of the best games came out that year, truly amazing. Great video you guys! (:
P.s my favorite console is on a tough choice between the SNES and the original playstation, and I'm 25.
im 19 and my two favourite consoles are probably the ps2 (purely because of jak and daxter and shadow of collosuss) and the snes!
31 and proud to say that my favorite is the SNES!! My god the NES was awesome but when this thing hit...changed everything for me! So many great memories and i still play it more than anything else I own!
For me the best console is Ps2 But the PS is the console that make LOVE the RPG genre so.... PS1 FTW :D (By the Way 27)
Glad to hear you guys mention Parasite Eve on PS1. It was the first RPG I'd ever bought, and it blew me away at the time. I guess it just gets overshadowed by all of the other great games from Square at the time.
1, Sony Playstation 1 - first console to absolutely blow me away.
2, Sega Megadrive - first console I owned and the one I'm most nostalgic over.
3, Nintendo Gamecube - the library and that controller...
I'm 25...
I was 24 when you posted this comment ha
Ironically we grew with the same consoles
Mega drive was my First Console then eventually got a PlayStation 1 and loved the console so many good games
I would say I think the GameCube had some cool underrated games
But the PlayStation 2 had the JRPGs so that's where I went :D
Mega drive
PlayStation 1
PlayStation 2
@@HollowRick I was 26. The PS2 was a phenomenal console. I have more games on the PS2 than I do on the GameCube, but the GameCube just did something for me. It was also the first console that I played the whole night through without realizing it! Haha!
EDIT: Just re-read my old comment. Apparently I was 25... I just turned 33...
@@TheSeanCreagh we're getting old ha
28 yr old and here's my list:
1) SNES
2) PS1
3) NES
4) PS2
5) Genesis
+gfunkmoney06 wow... great taste... Actually I was picking my 2 favs and its 1: PS1 and 2; SNES
+gfunkmoney06 hell yea agree with the list but switch the PS1 and PS2 spot and add N64, Gamecube, and GBA SP
+gfunkmoney06 I agree with all but THAT last one...Genesis was guided by idiots and therefore they are the reason way it sucked.
@@sammylane21 idk man the way you described it reminded me of the xbox 360. The genesis was far better than the 360 arguably.
I'm 24 And as much as i loved playing on my Sage Mega Drive i have to say PS1 was the best! Crash Bandicoots, Spyros, Abe's Oddysee, Soul Blade i could go on for hours!
My favorite game console always has been and always will be the Super NES.
Beautiful colorful game sprites and a great soundchip made for so many amazing SNES games.
A close second is the Playstation 3.
I agree on the SNES, but the PS3 is towards the bottom of the console lineup in my opinion, and the worst of the PS systems.
I wonder what these guys does for a living. They just seem so happy and positive. They must have jobs they really love. Either that or their home life is amazing!
I'm 18 and my favorite console is the n64, it had everything, great look, powerful system, memorable games, and it the was the last console that played cartridges
My favorite console is the Sega Dreamcast. So underrated :/
Also i'm 19
While it's not my favorite console ..I totally agree with you... it had so many things that was not implemented into other consoles YEARS later... the only reason why it didn't get the notice that it should was because Sega previous to dream cast had sooooooooooo burn bridges...from sayurn, 32x and so much more.where they would only have so little library for their add on like the 32x..that by the time they brought something so great as the dream cast they lost so much fan base... which goes to show how much that is worth... same thing happened to blackberry...just because you are on top and people put up with your crap doesn't mean some else will come along and still your thunder ... which history is repeating with apple
182punkbunny Yeah, but i'm glad history is repeating this with apple.
Dreamcast is AMAZING!! I was lucky enough to get one when it came out (thanks parents!) and I played it hard until it went under. Jet Grind Radio, Marvel VS capcom 2, Soul Calibre, Power Stone, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia, Tony Hawk Pro Skater... I had to choose SNES as my all time favorite, but the dreamcast is not far behind!
Oh man power stone!!! My friend had that game and we used to play that for days... I still wonder why they haven't brought that back out ... or even make a copy style of it
I'm 30, my favourite console is the Gamecube. Lots of nostalgia and the games are great. Also my favourite console controller.
Absolutely adore your show! The nostalgia and passion you guys have just completely makes my day! I wish I could if grew up in your era and grow with these consoles like you did. Keep up the great work! Fan out in NC
I'm 20 and my favorite game systems are the PS2 and SNES. Timeless games on both consoles. My favorite games on the PS2 are God of War 2, Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, Bully, GTA III, and Vice City My favorite games on the SNES are Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Final Fantasy III/VI.
PS2, it just has amazing games for fans of every genre. Sure it might not have as many of the true classics but the sheer quantity and variety while still having so much quality pushes it above all other consoles in my opinion.
And I've been playing games since the original NES when it was new.
I'm 32
Fave console is the Genesis. Hands down.
But the funny thing is : I only got a Genesis recently. I grew up a Nintendo kid! Love my memories of playing the NES and the SNES (especially the Square RPGs on the latter one).
But despite all that, the Genesis has won me over. It might be because it's game library is more varied, I feel, than that of the SNES. And nowadays I've moved away from RPGs and prefer to play sideview action platformers more. Soundwise, FM synth-based music resonates more with me as well.
Gotta say though : the PS1 is a damn fine pick and I considered it as well. I had one as ateen and loved playing Resident Evil 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3... it just has so. damn. many. great. games... the list goes on and on and on
I'm almost 35, #1 would have to be the almighty SNES.
I'm 37, and mine is the PS2. All the hype around it in the year 2000, year of my firstborn child.....and all the memories of playing with friends from 3 different phases of my life over the following 7 years.....and the ability to play all of my PS1 favs when I wanted that fix! My first DVD player.....the sweet design.....and online play! Yeah, what a system :D
I'm 21, and my favorite videogamesystem is the Nintendo Gamecube. I grew up on the Nintendo 64, but it was with the Gamecube my passion for games really kicked in. It doesn't have the biggest or objectivly best game-library, but it has the biggest heart. And I couldn't love it more!
I sold my entire gamecube collection in 2007 in exchange for a lot of new Xbox360 games. It was soon after that I really could tell how much I loved the Gamecube, cause my regret for that decission was heartbreaking. I've been able to collect my entire collection back now, and that makes me happy!
DT for life!
Gamecube is my favorite, followed by Game boy but Wii U by the end of the gen migh take the number one start
Bryan Flynn So many games i wanna play on it but their so expensive!
Bryan Flynn Ik but i wish online they were cheaper.
why not the nintendo wii? it can play gamecube games AND has some N64 games available for download. it also has other old games from different consoles available too. oh, and it can play wii games, forgot about that.
PS1 for me same reasons it introduced me to JRPGS with suikoden and ff7, i'm 30 btw ;)
32 years old and my favorite console is the Playstation. It definitely had a lot of solid starts to many legendary series, and the memories I have of running home from school to sink as much time into Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX are bountiful.
39 and Dreamcast. Grew up with all, but just loved that system. First console I bought since SNES. I was a PC gamer.
I'm 21, and super Nintendo, hand down.
i am 23
favorite nintendo console?? Yep the SNES gets my vote too!! MMX
I'm 23 and I grew up with master system. I'd say PS1 is probably the best console. Such a huuuuuge library of games and I still play them to this day!
to name a few great PS1 titles I still play:
Tekken3
RE 1, 2 and 3
Fighting Force
FF VII, VIII and IX
Silent Hill
MGS
Crash Team Racing
And who remembers all those awesome demos that came with the magazines? And Net Yaroze games, they were awesome!
***** My brother gave them all away to his friend, so he can borrow his dreamcast for two weeks :( If you know anywhere I could buy them all, let me know!
I was born in 90 (I'm 24 next week:) and I was lucky enough to have an older brother.
I know i sound stupid but... Wii U is my favorite
PS2 was better, as it can play PS1 games as well as PS2 games
43 years old, the SNES is my absolute favourite console of all time and I'm sure it'll continue to be a life long love affair ❤
I'm 37 and I love the snes. I remember taking it out of the box and playing super Mario world and SimCity. Such great memories.
For me it's a toss up between the SNES and the PS2. Too many great games and amazing memories on both machines to pick a side between the two.
Of course the PS1 had a library of amazing RPGs...so yeah maybe it's a toss up between the three. :p
Yes your right am a nut for rpgs n both had a ton of great rpgs
Whenever I see somebody say that their two favorite consoles of all time is the SNES and PS2, I instantly know that their favorite genre is RPGs.
My favorite console is the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis!
First of all! Love all your videos. Great job guys!!!! I'm 27 and it's a tie between my Super Nintendo and my ps1! SNES was my childhood as to the PS1 was more hardcore gaming.
I'm 30 and hands down snes. Zelda was the game I spent my time on! just seen you on vics vids. been watching him since he aired. I'm very happy he has introduced me to you. I will be watching every video you have ever posted.
I'm 27, and I'd say PS1, closely followed by SNES.
I'd say the opposite, SNES followed by PS1
27 years old, my favorite console is the Sega Saturn and I'm still bitter about it.
I'm currently 23, and I'd definitely have to say the Super Nintendo. So many masterpieces on there, and I feel like I'm discovering more and more of them every year!
@JulianRock lol, I'm surprised you actually looked at that. My cousin made that banner and my profile picture for me YEARS ago, like in 2015 or so, and I've always stuck with it. I can't remember why he put the 1987 thing, I guess he just thought it sounded cool. I was born in 1997, though.
I'm 38 and love the SNES. I still play mine today. Great controls and great sound! Super Metroid!
I'm 37 and my two favourite consoles are the NES and the Xbox 360
I'm 21 and weirdly enough my favorite console is the almighty SNES! My older brother had it and it got passed down to me and the rest is history. It has the most perfectly diverse library of games in my humble opinion.
Runner up is the N64, Because OoT and Mario 64. Seriously, that's ALL you ever need.
Your story isn't so uncommon. A lot of us didn't discover older systems until long after they were obsolete.
I didn't get an NES until September 2001. The GAMECUBE was just a couple months away, and here I was hooking up an 80s console to a Zenith TV of similar vintage in my garage.
Same here
I'm 18. Never grew up playing video games until my friend introduced me into the snes. Since then I've been playing anything retro
33 years old here. Sega Saturn my all time favorite console juts a beast machine for shumps and beat em up's Second Megadrive so many classics on that machine it is just unreal and the greatest ever series was on that machine the mighty Streets Of Rage.
I love the Turbografx-16 but I also pick the NES. I'm 37 btw.
SNES. i love that awesome console.
i'm 23 :P
i'm 23. grew up with nes snes n64 ps1 ps2 and gamecube :) play with my ps3 and wii u currently. will game forever but i will in fact hold the gamecube as my dearest system forever. just love it and i do love the original wii as well but man. it's games like super mario sunshine, twilight princess, mario party 4, soul calibur 2, luigi's mansion, super smash bros melee, paper mario thousand year door, mario kart double dash, beyond good and evil, timesplitters 2, timesplitters future perfect, resident evil remake, resident evil 0, and of course the legendary resident evil 4 that have made me the gamer I am today.
Im 30 And Im still Inlove with my SNES. Im so glad Now that I can Afford the games I couldnt as a kid!!! hahahah cheers from a modest collector! in Argentina!!
23, Super Nintendo!
hands down the ps1 for me it was my first console I ever played I was born in 1997 im 18 now and the frirst game I played was resident evil 1 I was stupid and sold it for a ps2 I eventually got it back with most of my games and getting new ps1 games was more fun to me then getting a new 360 and I discovered new ps1 games like driver and all the final fantasys on ps1 I got power puff girls on ps1 and I love that game lol but resident evil 2 is my favorite ps1 game and by far my favorite game of all time
JustinChipman Show You know that you can play PS1 games on the PS2 right? I understand owning the system is better than just playing the games on another but the option is there.
yeah I know its just nostalgia for me I guess and plus I don't have a ps3 yet
JustinChipman Show You should get a PS4, it's expensive but you can get Playstation now which allows you to download exclusives from past Playstations.
JustinChipman Show god reading that makes me feel old- I was in my 20's in 1997...
yeah its just hard for me to call ps2 a retro console
I got the play station as a gift for Christmas way back in 1998. It's still hooked up to the original tv I played it on to this day, and still works perfectly. What a console! I was 7 when I got it. In 2002 I got the GameCube, another of my faves! And 2010 I got the ps3 which I'm playing a lot lately, these are my 3 favourite!
The NES was my first console. I saw Atari 2600 after. I remember the day my dad brought the NES home and set it up. Came with 2 games, w controllers and a gun for Duck hunt. I remember sitting in school dying to get home because I knew we were driving to get Zelda. I watched the cartoon and that sword was awesome! I would save up money for chores. My cousin had all the games and when I first saw Mario 3 at his house I couldn't think of anything else. I didn't see the game in the Wizard but it blew me away. Systems and games don't make me feel that way anymore. Great times.
29. I can't choose, I actually can't do it.
OK, fuck it, PS2. Or PS1.
My favorite console was a tough choice between the Sega Master System and the Sega Saturn but I think the Saturn takes it.
I'm 27 by the way.
I have really strange, fond memories of the Saturn because I only ever rented it from Blockbuster. We had parties were my brother and a few friends and I played through Cyber Speedway, Virtua Fighter, and Resident Evil together. Based just off that ridiculous selection of games, I recall being really in love with it. If I had bought it I would probably feel differently...
*****
Well that wasn't the only reason >< what with the bad launch and stores boycotting it. I have only played saturn once or twice but is a console I have always wanted to get into...love every sega system released.
I still remember the surprise lauch. I walked into my local games store and saw a video screen running saturn video. "huh, that's cool, I'm going to watch this for a while", I thought. There was no internet back then so watching video was a rare treat. Then I realized it was a looking attract screen for Panzer Dragoon. "what a weird video", I thought. Then I looked over and saw that it was being piped from the console that was just sitting there waiting to be played. Then I saw a bunch of boxes behind the counter. "Is that... for sale?", I asked. The guy behind the counter just casually said "yeah.".
It's almost impossible to explain how bizarre this was to a modern gamer who wasn't there for it.
awesome video! im 18 and its between ps1 and ps2.. RE Nemesis is my favorite Resident Evil of all time but mgs3 and Jak and Daxter are fantastic
im 29 and definitely ps1 played 200 wonderful games in that console. Metal gear solid, Final fantasy, suikoden and the list goes on and on
my favorite game console is the gamecube, i remember being 6 or 7 and me and my brother popped in spiderman and the graphics blew me away, its also the best console for resident evil games.
im 20
Aesthetically, that's one of the best consoles ever made. It just looks so great.
its a cube that plays games lol the design is perfect for its name, i wouldn't necessarily say the gamecube has the best game library but it was the first console i re bought because i missed it from childhood
Steve Jobs was going to make an apple computer that was shaped like a cube because he was obsessed with the cube as being the most beautiful shape in the world. Then Nintendo beat him to it. He might argue that the handle ruins it, but I think it was really necessary. Picking it up without it would have been a real problem for people with small hands.
i like the handle, it gives the console charm lol
I'm 16 and I know almost anything from the 80's (Thanks Mom, AVGN, ALPHAOMEGASIN, and Happy Console Gamer) I do like playing the old retro games on virtual console or the arcade games on the Xbox Live. Though I just want to say that my favorite console would have to be the Nintendo DS cause It was my first console, but I liked the idea of taking games where ever you want. Then it had 2 screens. At the time that was interesting to me. Then the DS had a lot of ports as well.sure I got the Nintendo 3DS when it came out and then the New Nintendo 3DS, but I have to go with the one that started it all.
Im 15 but my first console was game boy advance. I was like the only one who'd experience playing pokemon, good memories back then. But i had alot of memory on my ps2 the most. So im going with that for my fav console :3
Waie Shahran I use to own a PS2 till that broke. I did have a gameboy advance still have it lol
Im 29. Ps2 and snes. Snes was what I grew up with, and the games still hold up to this day. Great graphics, great rpgs, huge library. Ps2 was the first console that was bought for me , brand new, that was all my own. I grew up with the snes but I grew into gaming with the ps2. My favorite console.
born in 87. I was a little too young to really play any NES or SNES games on my own; I mostly watched my brother play. But when the N64 came out, I felt like it was truly my console and I was at a great age to play it. The hours spent with family and friends playing Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, WCW/NWO world tour, Killer Instinct Gold. The hours adventuring on my own in OoT, Majoras Mask, Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64… yeah wow what a library of games. They were perfect for me at my age.
My choice would be the 60gb PS3. (Not the ones striped of Backwars Compatibility) Not only could it play my entire sony collection, but as a person who's addicted to having multiple saves for games, this console was a godsend! It also was a multimedia device so if I wanted to do other things than play a game, the console was still valable. (I've *never* been fond of a console that can only do gaming) It still used the controller I'm more efficient with, and it had the the ability to install Linux...! until sony too that away:-(
If I can't separate the Good PS3 from the gimped ones, then I'll vote for the PS2 (The fat ones, not the slim ones. They couldn't read official Sony PS one memory cards.) It is the console I've played the most. It also what the first console I bought. (Every PS one I had were built from broken PS ones that were threw away. Good thing I didn't care if people were making fun of me dumpster diving)
PS3 best so far! (The original, fat one.)
HARRY JC I agree that the fat PS3 is badass. I was able to find one one ebay for a good price and now get to play PS1/PS2/PS3 games with just one console. The only drawback being that the fans are loud and it heats up quickly.
PS2 easily for me. There's a lot of hype for PS1 RPG's, but PS2 although not as hyped really was the true golden age of JRPG's.
this, absolutely this.
Ps1 completely pissed over the the PS2 for JRPG's. They were better as well on the ps1 and better quality.
PS2 plays PS1, true story
Barry wallace no way. PS2 is untouchable in terms of depth. PS1 rpgs were carried by Square, whereas the PS2 had multiple top tier developers and series. SMT, Tales, .hack, Shadow Hearts, the LV5 games. Xenosaga. The Suikoden games, although not adding much new, generelly improved. Then you saw interesting new concepts in games like Metal Saga, Steambot Chronicles and Graffiti Kingdom.
Square had some great games too, although they were surely disappointing compared to their PS1 output. You could argue that PS1 was more revolutionary. In terms of top end I agree, but I think that kind of comparison is very arbitrary and frankly useless since we live in the now. Although the ps3 gen have superior technology, I still think the ps2 have better games, because the writing, design and gameplay make up for the lacking graphics. When comparing ps1 and ps2 I think the games are generally better on ps2 in all categories, not just graphics. And the sheer amount of great rpgs is on a whole other level.
going back to see your videos.
I'm 34 and my console I would pick is the SNES. I had regular Nintendo back in the late 80s but the SNES is what really pushed me to love gaming.
You guys are amazing! I'm 23, and I have two favorites: Snes and the PS2!
I'm 32: Sega Master System for nostalgia (got it Christmas 1989).
For games: GameCube
Two very underrated systems. A shame too.
***** Yes, I was 5 years old and got the Master System for Christmas. I got a Genesis in 1992 and I love that console too.
23 years old, and I think the N64 is my favorite console ever, when I saw Mario 64 for the first time as a kid, I was sold.
Yay finally someone else! :D
Totally agree. N64 was groundbreaking. Four controller ports, rumble pak, 3D worlds, etc...
Goldeneye is one of the most important games in the history of the FPS genre. Super Smash, Mariokart, Mario Party, Diddy Kong racing, Gauntlet Legends and many other games revolutionized same room group gaming. 3D world interaction in games such as Zelda, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and many others just blew our minds when they came out.
So many huge leaps in gaming on one platform. I could go on and on about how awesome and innovative the N64 was and still is.
No other system brought as much pure happiness and joy.
I'm 30 and the Genesis was my 1st console after playing NES at my cousin's for such a long time. Genny died and I bought a SNES, then sold that to get a PS1 and eventually PS2/PS3, Dreamcast, etc. I never owned any Nintendo systems after the SNES. Anyway, I'm a collector now and have been playing retro nonstop. My favorite has to be the PS1 as well, it was just a magical time when you would see all these 3D games in the arcades and to finally have that at home was amazing. I remember playing Tekken 1 and being AMAZED at the graphics.
I'm 31. My first system was a Nintendo Entertainment System! My older brother introduce me to the Sega Genesis (Mortal Kombat trilogy) when he came home from college. I used to RENT Super Nintendo, N64, PlayStation One (Pizza Hut demo discs) from the video store.. It wasn't until High School my parents got the family and I a Playstation 2. Towards the end of high school I bought a Gamecube for $99 and Mario Party 7 bundle (Four controllers and a blow stick)..When the Nintendo Wii came out our parents, bought one for the Christmas holiday. Later.. I bought a DS Lite with New Super Mario Brothers, Star Fox command and Mario Kart. I had a used backwards compatible 60 GB ps3 (IT broke).. As a hobby now.. I've refurbished NES (Evil pin connectors) Atari, Game Boy Original Brick (vertical lines) Just discovered your show I have.. I'll be back.
For me it would be either PSP or PS1
I mean PS1 was mine childhood I played all Tomb Raider games back there I didn't liked MGS actually and now it's like my favourite franchise I played Twisted Metal it was so great
but I've actually never owned a system it was mostly at my friends houses and sometimes I borrowed it
PSP was when I started to seriously play all of console games and also replaying those PS1 games it was and it is great., Yeah PS1 is my favourite system and I'm 20 years old ;p
Another hardcore PSP fan? *fistbump*
I'm hardcore psp fan to
Some PS1 games dont play well on the PSP, but I still love the hell out of it. Best way other than the PS1 to play those games. The shooters fighters and RPGs all play great on it. wish it had the L2 and R2 buttons and some analog sticks but 95 percent of the time you can find a way to make the ps1 games work near perfectly on the PSP. I see people playing with their phones and touch screens and it just makes me cringe. You can get a PSP for so cheap nowadays and they are so easy to mod its not even funny. Then all you need is a couple of micro SD cards and a 2 in 1 adapter to Memory Stick Duo and you are set. Even thou I download all my PSP games in ISO format, I still buy and collect PSP games. With them on the mem stick, they load faster and the batteries go a lot longer, and you are still using native hardware with the games, so theres no emulation issues cuz you're not emulating them. I love the PSP, and I feel people are missing out on it to this day. I have a lil trouble with a few EBOOT PS1 to PSP files but not many. and the ones that I do, I just play them on my PS1/2/3 . Some Ive had problems with off the top of my head are Skull Monkeys, Dragon Warrior 7 (loads but screen is just blank, can hear sound), MK Trilogy (loads but locks up quickly), Viewpoint, Doom, Kartia (loads but glitches out a lot). But besides those Ive had little problems with the PS1 to PSP. Check out emuParadise for the eboot files. Sorry for rattling on, but I do love me some PS1/PSP. anyone who is doubting the PSPs awesome-ness give it another try. Even if you dont like any PSP games you still have most of the PS1 library , not to mention all the emus you can find for it (the SNES ones never work well for me) and its a much cheaper alternative to Iphones and Android devices
Im a hardcore psp fan since i was 4
I've always found the Playstation controller to be absolutely atrocious for fighting games. The D-pad always has been miserable where diagonal inputs and precision are concerned.
I’m 20 grew up on wii,GameCube,360 and PS3 out of all of those things the GameCube and PS3 hold a lot of memories for me.But when I finally got my hands on a PS2 I was blow away I loved that thing.
I'm 15 and my favourite was the GameCube. I remember sittting with my brother and playing luigis mansion, windwaker, super Mario sunshine, kicking his ass in smash bros melee, billy hatcher, loved that thing so much
For me it's Playstation 2.
Just to point out it's not a nostalgic thing, cause my first console was a SMS.
(For the record I'm 29)
Federico Feroldi
hey. to each their own. I'm 32, and NES is my favorite, and I never played a SMS til I was 29. Which I now have, It's my 3rd fav console. I have no issue putting the PS2 in my top 5
Same here man ps2 all the way
Dreamcast boom
Also I'm 19
TyDiE
yup me too, didnt have to get it chipped to play copied games.
TyDiE shenmue alone makes the dreamcast one of the best.
9/9/99 4 life! NO ONE will ever forget that day.
33 here. The SNES has always been my favorite but as I've gotten older the portability of consoles such as the switch and 3ds are for sure rising in the ranks.
It's so funny how whenever you make a video that somehow or in some way mentions FF7, you use that clip of that dragon enemy LOL
37 years old and I've been a lifelong gamer since the Atari 5200 at the age of 4. I had to think REALLY hard about this one because I was an original elementary school Nintendo brat and LOVED my Sega Genesis. I loved the deeper, adventurous games from NES like Milon's Secret Castle, Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man, but I was also an arcade freak and Street Fighter 2 and Neo Geo cabs took large portions of my allowance at the mall. SO, after all that pompous wordiness, my favorite console of all time is the short lived Sega Dreamcast. I got it on 9/9/99 at the age of 21 and it did everything I always wanted in a console. It had deep adventure games AND perfect ports (in Soul Calibur's case, a better port) of arcade games. It was my dream console in my face! Me and my friends didn't emerge from my house for almost two days because of 2 player House of the Dead with light guns, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxy and Power Stone. It was like living in an arcade. Also, the BEST version of Resident Evil 2. Every console has been doing this since the days of xbox and PS2 but this was the FIRST to get it right. Sega Dreamcast.... My favorite console of all time.
+Nunya Bidness Not bad man, not too bad.
I had Dreamcast back when it come out. Playing those games felt you were on the cutting edge of gaming. Sega was hitting all cylinders, doing groundbreaking things. Shenmue is the best game I ever played.
Hard to pick for me, i love all consoles i have...
I'm 22 and my absolute favorite console is the PlayStation 2. all my favorite games are on there. Fur Fighters, Smugglers Run, The Bouncer, Final Fantasy X to X11, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Dragon Quest 8, the list goes on and on. My older brother and I had so much fun playing together with it, and I'd love to buy it once more, along with the games we used to have.
@ 5:31 johnny over there looking like he just let one rip lol
PS2 is the greatest console of all time imo.. but sometimes an opinion can be a fact lol :p
My favorite two game series on the ps2 is the Jak series and Kingdom Hearts, but the ps2 got nothing on the ps1
Dylan Lindsay i love the ps1 but the ps2 was just too good
***** That's one of the main reasons why it's the greatest console ever created
Not sure if I commented when this came out but...
20 and the mothafuckin Gamecube!
I'm 27 and my favorite console of all time remains the Sega Dreamcast. It wasn't my first console, that honor belongs to the PS1, and I'd played the Sega Genesis at a friend's house years earlier but the Dreamcast absolutely awed me. It had so many fantastic games that I played to death after school and on weekends, oftentimes with my sisters. Shenmue, Blue Stinger, Grandia II, Resident Evil-Code Veronica, Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future, Jet Set Radio, MDK2, Dead or Alive 2, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, and Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. Plus, the VMU was so cool and unique. Part of the fun of getting a new Dreamcast game was seeing what would be on the VMU screen. Not to mention those mini games!
I'm 30 and while I have so many fond memories with NES, SNES, and Genesis, getting the Playstation and FF7 for my Christmas/Birthday will forever remain the best present I ever received. Gaming became a whole experience and if you were 9-13 when it came out, like me and my brother, your life was changed over it.
I have to say my favorite system is the SNES. It was everything great about the NES but with better quality in all departments. I'm 19 going onto 20 btw.
I also really love the PS1 and I'm still buying used games for that system even to this day. Resi 2 is just as scary as it was back then.
It's like having to choose a favourite between your children... I'm gonna go with Gamecube. Shoot me.
Cole Peerce Agreed it's tough to choose just one. And Gamecube was awesome.
+Cole Peerce (The Peerce Insinuation) Such a great system. FTW
My favorite game on Gamecube got to be Tales of Symphonia. That game was awesome
DrLite what? Double Dash is the best with only MK8 as competition. Wind Waker is the second best Zelda game ever. Melee is glorious! What are you talking about?
I'm 36 and my two favorites are the NES and N64. It is hard for me to choose between those two for my favorite.
The NES was what started my love for video games, and I still love the challenge of trying to beat some of those hard NES games.
The N64 was the party machine and I have so many great memories of playing great four player games like Goldeneye 007, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, No Mercy, and so many more with friends after school. Whenever my old friends and I can get together under the same roof, we still break out the N64! It also had some of the greatest and most revolutionary single player games of all time as well like Super Mario 64, StarFox 64, and Ocarina of Time.
I'm 28 and started with the Atari 2600 and NES as a kid.
My Top 5:
1. Gamecube Best 3D Nintendo game library hands down.
2. PS2: A quality game library so big, and so many good platformer franchises got their start here: Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank. Plenty of decent co-op and multiplayer games, 3D GTA,
great for games requiring peripherals (rock band, guitar hero, DDR). It may be a somewhat old system, but I still play it today.
3. Xbox360 So many great games, Halo games, Bioware games, I'm still finding good titles for it and the graphics were amazing for its time and still don't look half bad
4. N64: While not the best looking console in the world, here is Nintendo's transition to 3D that worked out fantastically.
Even though the system only had about 300 North American games, so many of them were unique experiences unlike the plethora of copy-paste games we see in modern consoles.
Also, the 4 player multiplayer support made it so much fun to game with friends and family.
5. NES: While it does not have as many games that I fondly remember as some of the above consoles, the heavy hitters it had are still loved and played today.
The original Legend of Zelda, all the Mario Bros. games (including my all time favorite game Mario Bros. 3), Kirby's Adventure, you can find some real quality here.
PS2 all day.. No system sold more consoles ever.
PS2 great, I bought mine for GOW alone.
"GOW", Gears of War?
Russell LeBlanc I think he means God of War. That game was an absolute beast on that system.
mightyvoovoo
lol I was kind of thrown off for a second. Either he was being sarcastic or I'm mistaken. Yep, God of War certainly was a great game. Playstation 2 was such a great console, I'm sure if you dig around the house you'll find 2 in the closet and one under the bed somewhere.
Russell LeBlanc Lol, I am taking about God of War.
my favorite console is the ps3. is it bad that my favorite console is so recent ?
Nah, every one has their own personal preference
Not at all. I'm 26 and next to the Sega Genesis, mine is pretty much anything Playstation.
my fave is ether the n64 or the wii cos of how easy it is to mod it to play any game lol
Nickツ fuck no ps3 kicks ass
Nickツ Not at all, it's a great system.
I'll be 35 this year, and it's really tough to pick one, as I was 6 when the NES came out, and it was what got me into gaming, and I grew up with gaming. NES in early childhood, SNES/Genesis in my middle childhood, and PS1/N64 in my teens. But if I really had to pick one, I think I would have to go with the PS1. It was the first system I got when it was still fairly new. All of the other ones I didn't till after it had been out for years. So when I got it for Christmas, I was so thrilled, not to mention the step up into 3D graphics were exciting times (even though they look like junk today). The two truly mind blowing games I remember for that system were FFVII and Metal Gear Solid. They really showed how you could put emotion and a great storyline into a game (although FFVI still had the better story, IMO). Lots and lots of great memories.
Having just watched this recently, I gotta go with the SNES, a classic console from my childhood with most of my favorite games of all time
Nintendo GameCube.
I'm 20 and the Nintendo Gamecube is my favorite. Best gaming memories and still some of my favorite games of all time are exclusives for that console
I received the NES for my 11th birthday in 1988. It was completely unexpected, and I absolutely loved that system. Trading games with my friends, and marathon sessions of Simon's Quest and Zelda are some of my favorite memories of that system. I bought a Genesis a few years later, and that would bet second choice.
The console that gives me the warm fuzzy feeling inside is the PS2 because of the extensive library and it contains my favorite fighting game, beat 'em up, and racing game (Def Jam FFNY, The Warriors, NFS Most Wanted) so many great memories and plus it is the only console to not give me any annoying system problems besides freezing every once in awhile, then I'd say the Super nintendo because that was the first console i played on.
I'm 31, and my favorite video game system is the PSX (PS1). It's the first system that genuinely made me enjoy gaming on home consoles, as I was big on fighting games before I had my time with it -- and the best version of the fighting games I liked were in the arcades. It's also the console that made me like other genres besides fighting games.
18, The Super Nintendo and the Gamecube without question. There are so much memories I have had with these two but also for the amazing library each has. The SNES alone was responsible for my obsessive interest in the retro scene for the past few years learning of all these consoles and games that I would've shared the same memories with if I had them. The GBA my favorite handheld could be played on the Gamecube and the console had so many collections from previous gens like Zelda collectors edition introducing me to OoT my favorite game ever.
I'm almost 23 and it has to be PS2, I've played a ton of games on SNES and Pegasus, but the most entertaining games were on PS2. Can't imagine my life as a gamer without the ps2 memories :)
im 30 and my favorite console is the NES and SMS, perhaps because they where the first i played, but they where just awesome, i still got them both, and they still work.
a very big seller on these is the fact that the games and console had to work and be finished when shipped, there was no way of updating it later on... i really miss those days.
"It's not christmas time" Wow, I'm watching the video on December 21th :D XD
32 years, NES, still collecting.
I'm 29, my first console was a Master System and I've got almost all of the major consoles (portables included) released since then, that said, my favorite of all time is the PS3. It's the one I have the fondest memories, the best games IMO and it was in a great time in my life in general. It already makes nostalgic to think about it :')
31 years old here
My favorite ever is also Playstation 1!
Suikoden
Suikoden II
Grandia
Alundra
Thousand Arms
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete
Beyond the Beyond
Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX
Tales of Destiny I and II
Dragon Warrior VII
Chrono Cross
I could keep going on and on. The JRPG's of PS1 just had such a huge effect on me as well as a young teenager.
