Desperate Nintendo

Desperate Nintendo is pretty good. They are much better with developers when they're struggling to maintain a consistent lineup.

Narrator: They never had a consistent lineup.

[hungrynoob]

Nintendo gameboy.

[mormapope]

Would definitely be Gamecube. Id argue its library has aged much better than ps2's and xbox's library.

 

[demi]

I knew I liked you for a reason, darling. I have almost 100 Gamecube games. Want to eat sandwiches and play them?

[Dougstyles]

Put me down for purple lunchbox as well.

Metroid Prime
Prime 2
Wind Waker
Sunshine
Path of Radiance
Skies of Arcadia
Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos
Baten Kaitos Origins
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 4
Animal Crossing
Paper Mario: TTYD
shit goes on

 

[hungrynoob]

The gamecube was an amazing system.

Lost kingdoms anyone? (Actually cant believe the classic :shiftyeyes emoticon has been removed, for shame)

[headwalk]

[tiesto]

SNES by far. Honestly though, the Switch looks like it has the potential to be Nintendo's best console since the SNES... let's hope they don't flub it (they will)

Settle the fuck down, the switch has a mountain to climb before it can even smell what it's like to be the best. I tell you what though, if nintendo did the impossible and put through backwards compatibility, through good emulation and not subpar like the wii u vc. With gc games right back to the start, with a solid lineup of first/second/third party games, and removed the need for a smartphone app to chat in online games. It would be a strong contender.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Btw, ninty wont remove the app wall, because they know less kids own smartphones which by default requires necessary parental supervision -
 actually a smart move (unpopular opinion).

is there anyone over 30 who picks n64 or later? I have yet to see this

[omensetter]

Nintendo 64 because I like the fuzzy and blocky graphics.

forreal though, I still love the Gamecube. Paper Mario, Prime, Mario Sunshine, Animal Crossing, fuck it was good. it even got Dreamcast shit like Ikaruga and Skies of Arcadia.

My mates mum would, she was all about that mario kart 64.

I prefer the Gamecube, because it was fun to develop for it, and I loved the GBA player attachment. NGCs are about $20 in v. good condition in the gaming district lately. I'd like to take my broken one and make it into a casemod.

[Eteric]

SNES and DS Lite, respectively. I still think DS Lite was the pinnacle of portable gaming.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I liked every Nintendo I had (NES, GB, GBA, DS, N64, GC, Switch)

Except WII (too far behind times) and Wii U (horrible concept)

[Trurl]

In many ways the GameCube.  The GCN and Dreamcast were the last systems designed to look fun and did it the best.

[Mochilador]

The GameCube!

[ToxicAdam]

Gamecube fanboy here.

But I cheated and bought it in 2004. So, I was able to buy the system for 100 bucks and most all the good games for 20 dollars per. Best gaming value ever.

[Joe Molotov]

N64 is the worst Nintendo console by today's standards. The eye cancer graphics and the trident controller are the two most disgusting things I've seen in my entire adult life.

Wii is the second worse because of waggle shit.

Wii U is next worse because it had no gaems.

NES, SNES, and Gamecube are all fine.

[Dougstyles]

Wii is the second worse because of waggle shit.

I'll never forgive myself for choosing the Wii version of Twilight Princess.

[Mercy]

Gamecube was the penultimate Nintendo console.
SNES comes in a close second.

N64 was a fucking abomination but I loved it for some reason.

Switch is too young to form an opinion on (that would be immoral, and maybe illegal).

GBA/DS/3DS were all really great. No complaints.

The rest are gutter trash, but I still own them all because I'm a shameless consumer whore with no self esteem.

Do you know what "penultimate" actually means?

[Mercy]

Do you know what "penultimate" actually means?

According to the dictionary, I do not.

This has been a humbling experience.

[Positive Touch]

i didn't mind some waggle, and I really liked when it was creatively used, but my biggest problem with the system was that almost everything in it was so damn cheap. i don't need state of the art graphics or whatever, but if you're phoning in the gameplay then we have a major problem. i skipped alot of nintendo games when it was clear they were content rehashing tired old ideas. was really disappointing.

[Tasty]

Super Mario Galaxy

[demi]

Wii has a great library.

Arc Rise Fantasia even let you use a Gamecube controller, so I consider it a Gamecube game instead

Smash 4 secretly a Gamecube game? I can dig it.

[nampad]

Gameboy.

[EmilioEstevez]

Super Nintendo is my favourite of all consoles, so obviously it wins here too.

Then probably the NES.

Wii is literally a gamecube with waggle controls strapped on. GC was so great they released it twice.

Same here. I bought one dirt cheap in graduate school around the time Resident Evil 4 came out. Had a blast on all the cheap games. And one of the best Gundam games ever made.

NES is probably still my favorite though merely for childhood feels.

N64 sucks. Worst controller ever.

[TakingBackSunday]

Console:

1.) Gamecube
2.) SNES
3.) Wii

3.) 3DS
4.) GBC
never had an original gameboy

Switch tbd.

[Hock]

SNES by far. GBA honorable mention, for the short amount of time it was out it packed in a ton of great games.

[tiesto]

Surprised to see all the GC love, it always seemed to me that people loved to rip into the little purple box back in the day. I did prefer the GC to most post-SNES systems, though it didn't get nearly the playtime the PS2 did. Some decent third party games - it was nice to have some great RPGs and quirky games like Cubivore and Chibi Robo after the N64, but it was probably Nintendo's weakest first party lineup. Hated Sunshine, thought Wind Waker was one of the weakest Zeldas, and wasn't into the genre change of Metroid Prime. But Smash was fucking amazing.

Let's see:

1. SNES - Best library out of all their systems, best Mario/Zelda/Metroid
2. NES - Loads of classic games, especially as far as 2D action platformers go. Lots of hidden gems too.
---
3. GC - big jump down from the SNES/NES, but see what I said above.
4. Wii - So many shit games, lots of tacked on waggle that ruined otherwise great experiences. But Xenoblade and Sin and Punishment 2 redeemed that gen for me.
5. WiiU - A few great games, but a pitiful library, short shelf life, and that shitty tablet hurt it.
6. N64 - Aged like shit, ugly graphics, terrible controller, low framerate.

Switch - who knows? Like I said it could be top 3 material if it gets more stuff like Octopath, Golf Story, SMTV, DOOM.

[desert punk]

It's always going to be the OG Gameboy for me.

It's mostly nostalgia I guess. I wasn't allowed to own another system as a kid even though I was literally on my knees begging my mom to get me a SNES. So I played the fuck out of the handful of Gameboy games I got my hands on with my measly allowance. These games had dominated my childhood until my parents bought themselves a PC when I was twelve or so and I went a different route.

I guess there are better games on other Nintendo consoles or handhelds but for me none of them will come close to what I experienced when playing Link's Awakening or Wario Land.

Good times man, good times

[Tasty]

OG GameBoy is probably my personal second-favorite system after SNES for similar reasons.

I even made a thread celebrating my love for it: http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=42133.45

[naff]

og wii lol.

RIP :'(

I'll always remember the good times, not the bad.

[Great Rumbler]

I liked the first couple of years of the Wii, but it tailed off hard after that. Xenoblade was legit, though.

The Pooper Nintendo

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

NES - It was the first console I owned.  I think it's the most overrated of Nintendo's consoles.  Let's face it, there was maybe 20 good games on there at the most.

SNES - Nintendo was at their prime here.  A lot of great games came out for this system from both Nintendo and third parties.

N64 - I think they had a very strong start with Mario 64 and both Zelda games were good but the rest was bad or half assed.  Third party output was simply awful.  If Rare had a peak, it would be here.  I did actually like Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing was what Mario Kart 64 should have been instead of the glitched out piece of shit that it was.

Gamecube - I think Nintendo's first party output was even worse here than the N64, except for Paper Mario, which was excellent.  Third party output was much better than the N64.

Wii - Underpowered crapola but it had a lot of gems slip through that went unnoticed at first.  Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 were amazing games.  I think if you ignored all the hype about how wonderful it supposedly was for soccer moms playing fucking Wii Music, the Wii was actually a solid console.

Wii U - It was obvious that Nintendo gave up early on this one.

Switch - So far it has a decent library and despite it being really aged tech (I doubt it's anymore powerful than a $100 Android craptablet), it has a lot of potential that I haven't seen in a Nintendo console.  We'll see where it goes but it's not bad so far.

Gameboy - Never owned one

GBC - I had a lot of fun with Wario Land 2 and Link's Awakening DX.  Sold it off early on to get a Dreamcast.  I have no regrets doing so.

GBA - Like the GBC, I didn't own for it long but I liked what I played of it.  Got the Silver GBA SP when it came out.

DS - Got it at launch day and got it again later on during the DS Lite heyday.  Like the Wii, there was a ton of useless hype around bad games but there were a lot of great games that didn't get much notice.  A solid handheld.

3DS - It was pretty good.  I think the DS had a better library but the 3DS turned out to have a lot of good games for it.  The 3D gimmick fortunately didn't ruin the games like I thought it would.

[Positive Touch]

original game boy had a few great games but man it was a shitshow for YEARS. going through the early years is like trying to find quality in the early years of ios gaming. just throwaway trash everywhere.

I don't know of any $100 tablet that can run BotW, even at 720p.

At the very least it's modern architecture (ARM) so it should be backwards compatible from now until the end of time.

DS is generally regarded as the best handheld of all time. That thing was a powerhouse for almost a decade.
