What's your favorite gaming system?

Out of all the gaming systems/consoles you've owned, which would you say have been your favorites?

My favorite console is the Wii U.

I remember the utter joy of opening it on my 12th birthday and the countless hours of enjoyment it provided in the following years. Many great memories of my school club playing the Wii U together too.



I still have it all these years later.

I'd probably pick the 3DS, since it's one of the only ones I've owned/played throughout my life. I've grown up almost entirely on nintendo handhelds and the 3DS was the first console where I really felt like I could connect with my friends and have fun connecting together with them rather than just a shiny box I owned I could play Pokemon on.

Huge fan of the original Game Boy. It's really neat to me how developers (especially Game Freak!) were able to do so much with such comparatively weak hardware.

Thinks of the Super Nintendo immediately. Liked several games on there whose series no longer hold nearly as much interest (mostly platformers). Could be an age thing and shifting tastes. Shrugs. Cannot feed the deeper RPG hunger on that system, though. (Enjoys Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, sure. Describes them as pretty straightforward on the grounds of customization.)

Likes several other Nintendo system a lot too (DS, 3DS, Gamecube, and Switch). Finds it difficult to rank them.

Edit: Leaves an honorable mention to the Gameboy Advance SP. Added a good backlight, built-in battery, and clamshell design. Crushed it on design.

From the ones I've had: the 3DS.
The Switch imo ain't bad or anything, and the DS was solid. Had some real fun times with my GBA SP too. An honorable mention to the N64 as well, but that's so long ago I can't fully recall everything.
However the 3DS just had an appeal to me that the other Nintendo consoles have failed to capture.

Probably my PlayStation console (currently my PS5) since that's what I seem to play the most and (mostly) have the most fun playing on.

Either the Wii or Switch. The Switch has an immense amount of incredible games alongside a simple yet effective gimmick (being able to play said incredible games on both a TV or on a handheld). But while it doesn't quite have the same number of home runs, motion controls are an ingenious concept that the Wii uses by far the most effectively of any console and is of an era where Nintendo was a lot more willing to be more out there compared to today, leading to some of the most creative and innovative games of all time coming out on the Wii.

PC, easily. Nearly all strategy games are PC exclusives, especially the RTS games I've loved since childhood. If that doesn't count as a console, I'd pick the GBA since it's where I first played Pokemon.

Ah this is a hard one, like PC is a strong contender because of just how much is available to me, but honestly I think I'll have to give it to the Gamecube. Massive chunk of nostalgia anyway and just encountered so many of my favourite games/series on that console, as well as had some absolutely great times with friends playing on it.

I like the Xbox 360 a lot. That entire generation in gaming was great to me! So many high school memories playing my 360.

It has to be PC for me. I've gotten some solid mileage out of the PS2 and 3, the Switch and various Nintendo consoles and handholds over the years, but PC wins out purely for the sheer volume of fantastic games available through Steam and the like.

I have a fond liking for my Super Nintendo. The games it has and the soundtracks it has stick with me pretty much forever.
