None of those are classics... =/

BenRK September 14th, 2009 9:48 AM

Well, the N64 is.

Me, I loved my old DS. Till it broke. Now I have a DSi, and while it's a nice system, my flashcard wont work on that, so I wait till someone can crack it via the SD Card slot so I can do what I used to do. Namely, emulate old games, surf the net, and play my legal backups. It already surfs the net, so I'm good there, but who wants to carry around pockets full of DS cards? XD

Pave Low September 14th, 2009 10:10 AM

The DS' are all AWESOME! Because they are portable, but then again, so are PSP's!

That is why the are called "Hand Held" consoles. -______-"

PS3 is up there for me.

And you posted it in the wrong section.
There is an "Other Games" Section.

Pave Low September 14th, 2009 10:21 AM

Srsly? I like the Dreamcast too, but not enough good games were released for it before it died. ;D Sad, really.

PSX would probably be my first choice since I'm a RPG fanatic. SNES, and NES aren't too far behind though.

Houndour2004 September 14th, 2009 10:23 AM

I want to find a Game Gear again!

If there was no Other Gaming section, then it would be here, but since there is, it goes there.

You post in that section often enough. You should know that.

Pave Low September 14th, 2009 10:32 AM

Well, I think it fits in both sections!

Sophie September 14th, 2009 10:32 AM

Has to be my trusty DS :) You can take it anyway, and it plays so many games :D

You're wrong. Your thoughts are irrelevant. This goes in other gaming.

And I prefer the ultimate console, the PC. I hate the 360 for an array of reasons (RROD and the "community" to name two), I hate the PS3 because Sony is part of the RIAA (though the system itself is great, especially with the new price tag), and I hate the Wii because it's terrible and the Wiimote is a horrible gimmick (give me a normal controller or a keyboard any day).

The PSP has probably less than ten good games, but it's OK for hacking and homebrew and such. The DS has some great games, and the touch screen is tolerable, provided Nintendo doesn't stick their nose in and try and use it for anything other than clicking menus and a few other basic things.

As for older consoles, you can probably pick any major one out of a hat and I'll like it. I liked the NES, the SNES, the N64, the GameCube, the PS1 and PS2 (though I still hate Sony), the GameBoy, the GameBoy Color, the GameBoy Advance, the Sega Genesis, the Sega Dreamcast, the Sega GameGear, and the original Xbox. With the exception of the Dreamcast, it was the games that made the systems. Each one had great games for it; the system makers didn't need to do anything except make something that worked right (which somehow Nintendo managed to screw up with the Wii). The Dreamcast was great because it was ahead of its time. It's a lot like some of the current generation systems are today. It's a shame there weren't more games made for it.

BenRK September 14th, 2009 1:08 PM

I have to disagree with your view on the Wiimote. As a hobbyist game designer my self, I've messed with it, and it works rather well and has many possibilities. If you remember, when the DS first came out, people thought the touchscreen was a gimmick, but it's proved to be an excellent input device. It even plays games rather well, but I do wonder why the FPS games on the DS are few and far between.

AntLion. September 14th, 2009 1:50 PM

Hmmm thinking of what the best console is is quite hard, PC would most likely be my choice just for the fact that PC's are amazing but consoles like the DS are just plain handy for going anywhere, you could be thinking take a laptop but for some reason I just hate laptops.

Gerri Shin September 14th, 2009 3:10 PM

Sega Genesis/ DS/ GBC > SNES >>>>>>>Everything else. I've played the Wii, PS3, PS2, PS, N64, and Dreamcast, but they never really caught on with me like the others.

You're a developer. You are inherently biased with your opinions about software devices. It is not what the developers think that matters regarding the Wiimote, it is what the end users think; what the gamers think. And most gamers (including me) hate it.

And the Wii came out a few years ago. This isn't anything new. Your comparison suggests that the Wiimote is something new; it isn't. I have plenty of Wii games and experience to suggest that it is a failed gimmick. The DS touchscreen was also a gimmick; the difference was that it actually worked in some situations (Mario 64 on DS was an example of how it should not work; Advance Wars: Dual Strike was an example of how it should work).

BenRK September 14th, 2009 3:59 PM

You're only... what... one person? So far, the only people I know of who go out of their way to not show me any evidence to support their claims that the Wiimote sucks are those who hate change. Namely, the Sony and Microsoft fanboys. We've had the basic same controller layout since the SNES for all consoles after it (including the N64, you can see similarities), a little bit of change never hurt anything. In fact without change, you get... the XBox 360. Not saying it's a bad system, but you have to admit, little has changed in the XBox line it self other then faster and newer versions of the same hardware. The PS3... that's just a miss match bunch of overpriced Sony brand hardware crammed into a George Foreman Grill. But I digress, I don't want to hear another post on this argument coming from me or you.

I still like the DS though.

donavannj September 14th, 2009 4:12 PM

From personal experience with Wii games, developers aren't utilizing the system's control scheme to its best potential... and that was before Wii Motion Plus came out.

EDIT: Oh, and the 360 has good games but lots of hardware issues. Before anyone strikes out at me about said issues, the clerk at my favorite GameStop said he's had his PS3 for longer than his 360... and he's on his 4th 360 and just the other day had to send in his PS3 to get his second one.

PS3's main problem is that there haven't been too many good exclusive games in the systems first few years because developers were afraid people wouldn't buy the system with its price tag. It has fantastic hardware and capabilities (even with backwards compatibility removed and several USB ports not present anymore, among other things being removed). Plus it, unlike the 360, has free online gaming... and it's online interface is more powerful and a little easier to navigate for games than the Wii's.

I like things that work and work well. Just because I'm not a Nintendo fanboy and won't rush to defend something that doesn't really work well for most games does not mean I hate change. On the other hand, I will admit that I tend to shy away from something new if it doesn't offer some significant improvement over something old.

I seriously hope you didn't just try to call me a Sony or Microsoft fanboy when I just said earlier that I hate the Xbox 360 and Sony (sic; I hate Sony, not their products), and that I have liked every Nintendo system I have played besides the Wii.

And you call me a fanboy. The only people I hear praising the Wiimote for being "innovative" are fanboys. Innovation isn't a broken controller. Innovation is something that improves on the old, not simply gets rid of it in favor of something else. Nintendo banked on the fact that their insanely defensive fanbase wouldn't mind if they bombed once or twice, and they were right. Fanboys come screaming left and right whenever someone lays down some honesty and says that the Wiimote is a nightmare for anyone except the "casual" crowd. I don't mind if Nintendo wants to encourage trying new things, but forcing gamers to use a broken gadget is not encouraging innovation, it's just forcing gamers to use a broken gadget. About 90% (I'm pulling this number out of my rear here, but it seems accurate) of Wii games would benefit from standard controller input over the Wiimote. The other 10% are games made by Nintendo. My respect for Nintendo would increase tenfold if they offered an alternate, standard type controller for the Wii that some game developers could default to. But no, they have to press their gimmick so that they can tout their "innovation," instead of doing what is best for the gamers. And yes, they don't care about us anymore. We're still "nerds and otaku" to them, despite the apology that woman was forced to make. All any company cares about these days is making money, Nintendo especially. And they're raking it in with their new pet, "casual." How innovative. Exercise. Thanks, but if I wanted to do boring exercises, I'd go to the boring exercise place: the gym. Why do you think they've only released a dozen or so decent games in the past few years? It's because their new cash cow is many times more profitable than we are. It takes a few months and a few dollars to make a highly profitable "Wii Fitness," it takes a few years and a few million dollars to make a highly profitable Zelda game, and it takes a few years and a few million dollars to make a POTENTIALLY profitable non-brand game. Expect to see a trickle of real titles and nothing truly innovative from Nintendo for a few years (when hopefully the "casual" fad passes). Unless you consider more broken input devices to be "innovative."

I could make a similar rant for the 360 or Sony, but you brought up the Wii, so the Wii it was.

No it's not even, and tech isn't for games. That's why we have Other Games.

Xebelleon September 14th, 2009 4:52 PM

My fave console is the Playstation 2.

For handhelds, the Game Boy Color gave me the most memories.
Question this all you want, but consider that its what likely most Pokemon fans played Pokemon on back in the day (or a Game Boy Pocket) and yeah. My first Legend of Zelda experience was also for the Game Boy Color (Oracle of Seasons).

Then there is the retro moment of "Card Pop"...

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 14th, 2009 6:45 PM

Wii, NDS, NDSi, PS3,PS2, PS, GC, N64, 360, XBOX, Sega Dream Cast, and SNES

Those are my favorite systems


:t353:TG

Mukkamoto September 15th, 2009 1:03 AM

I owned a few consoles since i was young
My favourites would have to be:
  • SNES
  • Segamega drive
  • N64
  • Nintendo GameCube
  • Wii
  • PS3
  • Gameboy Color:D

Upset cause someone doesn't share your opinion? Troll much? Please, just stop, I have. You only look stupid for continuing an argument based on opinion.

Harmonie September 15th, 2009 12:11 PM

The GCN is my favorite console.

It's probably due to the fact that it's connected to a lot of my memories over my teenage years, which were my favorite years.

But really, it was where a lot of Nintendo's franchises were at the top of their game, IMO. Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing for sure. Super Smash Bros. Melee was so great and mind-blowing when I first got it. Brawl never gave me that sensation at all.

And Animal Crossing's sequels... Don't even make me go there. Nintendo failed EPICALLY with Animal Crossing City Folk.

Barney. September 15th, 2009 1:02 PM

SNES, N64, Gamecube.

I'm a fan boy. Sue me.

I think it's just because of the memories I've had with my N64 and Gamecube, due to the amount of hours I've plowed into them.

Whilst everyone at school were playing Playstation 1, I was at home injecting some Mario 64 sweetness into my viens.

When they went home and played there shiny PS2s, I went home to play some cell-shaded greatness known as Wind Waker.

My Snes is relatively new compared to some of my other systems, But I've lready had so much fun with Mario All-Stars, Mario Kart, Super Probotector [Contra III], and my others..I can see why so many people say that it's there favourite system.

[jq]Wiimote is a horrible gimmick (give me a normal controller or a keyboard any day)[/jq]

http://www.zachbellshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picard-sigh.jpg

It's a little thing called innovation my friend. Sure, I prefer using a joypad, But why keep gaming the way it is when there are so many possibilities? Nintendo have created something that has broadened the gaming market from people "with no life" to everyone.

Anyone can pick up a wiimote and have fun, it's not complicated, there's no massive combinations, just simple fun...And guess what? Nintendo have outsold both it's competitors by millions.

Something that innovative and successful surely can't be classed as a "gimmick".


Also, does anyone actually take in the fact that most good Wii games don't utilise motion controls at all?, that's wide appeal if I've ever seen it.

Debate != upset. If you respond, I'll respond back, regardless of any ridiculous addendum you tack on. I made a legitimate argument, and you're responding by saying I'm trolling. Who is the real troll, I wonder?

If the gimmick worked, I wouldn't be so hard on it. It's bad; it is painful to play the kinds of games that I like with it. I don't fault the developers; the Wiimote works fine for the kind of stuff that I don't care about, but for FPS or RTS or whatnot, it's a horrible controller (surprising; you'd think FPS would be able to utilize it nicely, but it doesn't). There's a reason all the good FPSes are only released on 360 or PS3; it's because it's terrible for controlling those sort of games.

A gimmick is literally a clever ploy or strategy. Nintendo is using the Wiimote as a selling point to draw in more people. And it worked. That doesn't mean it's a good input device, it means Nintendo knows how to market. Sure, you can pick up a Wiimote and Wii Sports and have a good time for fifteen minutes or so. And then what? I'm not a casual gamer; I want games that draw me in, that have staying power and epic stories and engrossing gameplay. The kind of games that are released for other systems. Sure, Nintendo itself releases a few good hits now and then, but besides that, the Wii has the same problem the GCN had: very few good third party games. In fact, I'd argue it has fewer good third party (or first party) games. At least the GCN didn't have the casual market to repel developers from investing money into something worth playing.

Okay, twocows and BenRK, give it a rest. I know you're trying to voice your opinion, twocows, but enough is enough, so just let it go please.

You people really need to work on your social skills if every thread about consoles erupts into this. It's getting old.

Ice Lion908 September 15th, 2009 8:38 PM

Super Nintendo
DSi
Wii
Gamecube

Eureka1 September 16th, 2009 3:08 AM

Dreamcast, Saturn, PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Mega Drive.

Fox♠ September 16th, 2009 6:27 AM

PS3. By a long shot. For a "mismatch of expensive sony parts in a foreman grill" it works really well, the tilt sensor doesn't interfere with gameplay (just adds nice little bells and whistles really)
The online works really well, it's free, the console itself is sturdy, it has (in my opinion) 3 of the best exclusives this gen, the PSN store is nice and the added media functions are a treat.

Banjora Marxvile September 16th, 2009 9:02 AM

Me = Quite retro player, so my choice is:

Nintendo 64!
Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis if you prefer)
Game Boy Color

And also, maybe not as retro:

Nintendo Wii

I do not care much about the consoles, but the nostalgia and/or the games. to be honest, I like the retro ones most.

DonRoyale September 16th, 2009 11:06 AM

I am married to Nintendo, and have been for almost 15 years now. It's a wonderful relationship, though it's gotten sour of late due to the lack of support from my beloved, so I feel as though I might decide to cheat with Microsoft. I mean, Microsoft's so good, it's hard to resist!

TP-BigWill September 16th, 2009 3:31 PM

Tough to say. I love how XBox 360 revolutionized online gaming.

But there would be no online gaming if it wasnt for the Sega Dreamcast.

But in the end, I'll give it to the console that saved the industry. The NES ftw!

KingAlex September 16th, 2009 3:42 PM

The Wii, DS, & N64. Greatest games I've ever played were on those three.

KnilShadowLink September 16th, 2009 7:54 PM

Oh boy I can't wait to see all the fanboys that starts a giant war here.
Anyways...SNES, SEGA Genesis, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Pocket/Color/Advance/SP, PS2, Xbox360

I know it's a lot, but they're all amazing. I've narrowed it down to those, but I can't choose choose any further.

A Pixy September 16th, 2009 8:26 PM

The N64

Ahh, the N64. I remember all the afternoons I burned away playing a certain racer. If you said Diddy Kong Racing or Mario Kart 64, you'd be wrong. Snowboarding Kids, too bad Atlas had to screw things up with SBK. They're not even kids anymore. Also, the game itself is pretty bad.

Queen September 17th, 2009 1:29 AM

These are my Favorite consoles.

Newer Consoles - PS3, DS, Gamecube
Older Consoles - Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64

Doesn't work? what the hell?, what games have you been playing?

It works 10x better for FPSs, it makes it much easier to aim, and it overall becomes much more involving. Seriously, what games are you playing?

The reason that they're not made for Wii is because developers are all about money, and they can be narrow minded and think that only families own a Wii, which is far from the truth..Every Nintendo forum is crying out for more "hardcore" games, but the ones that have come out have sold poorly, not because of the genre, but because the games weren't actually any good, e.g. The Conduit, Onslaught.

I really can't see your big problem with the Wiimote...Are you really that lazy that you can't put in the odd shake or wave to make your gameplay a bit more involving..really?

Also, do you think that every Wii owner just plays Wii sports all day?

Anyway, Zelda, Red Steel, Metroid, Little King's Story, HotD: Overkill, The Final Fantasy Exclusives, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Baroque, No More Heroes, Opoona, are very involving and all have great story lines, there are others also.



Which indicates that a better input device would be something without motion controls. Something along the lines of a GCN controller.

You know you can use it for alot of games, right?

Bold indicates my points on your un-needed hatred.

Thanks for the terrible formatting that makes me virtually unable to respond to you.

Also, debate does not equal hatred. Debate equals debate. I bought the Wii. I bought games for it (quite a few; I have at least 40 or so). They're all games that were rated highly on Metacritic (most of them are Nintendo games). The ones that are Nintendo games are usually tolerable. The ones that aren't usually either try and fail to put the crappy controller to good use, or simply have you use it like a standard controller.

"It works 10x better for FPS."
Name one critically or popularly acclaimed FPS that is on the Wii that is not on the PS3 or 360. Better yet, name one good FPS that was released on the PS3/360 and sported an equivalent Wii release. You can't, because the FPSes for Wii are terrible and control horribly, while the ones for PS3/360 usually control very well and are often fun to play.

"Developers are all about money"
You think Nintendo isn't all about money?

"The ones that came out weren't that good"
Hard to make something good when the input is a pile of fail.

"I really can't see your big problem with the Wiimote...Are you really that lazy that you can't put in the odd shake or wave to make your gameplay a bit more involving..really?"
I don't mind moving my hands or whatever to play, if it works. The stylus works. The Sixaxis controller works. Those both use movement, and I love them. The problem is that the Wii controller is a pile of crap that just fails to control well.

"Zelda"
Good game

"Metroid"
Good game

"Red Steel"
Crap game, I have it and it controls miserably. This review sums up my feelings pretty well.

"Little King's Story"
Recent release, haven't gotten around to trying/buying it yet.

"HotD: Overkill"
I lol'd. HotD fails so hard, it's actually funny for the first play-through. Then you just hate it. Not to mention nobody actually likes on-rails shooters.

"The Final Fantasy Exclusives"
Oh yeah, Final Fantasy XIII is really looking to be good, and so is the versus component. Wait, what's that? It's not being released on Wii? Imagine that! What do we Wii owners get, then? "My Life as a King?" I can't believe I spent money on that heaping pile of garbage. Disappointing, to say the least.

"Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn"
Tolerable game, but not nearly as good as the GBA/DS variants.

"Baroque"
I can't even believe you mentioned this trash. I tried it once, and it was the worst mistake of my life. Nintendo Power themselves said it best.

One of the few third party Wii games I actually enjoyed, though it is a bit repetitive (not surprising, since it's Ubisoft).

"Opoona"
The only great thing about this game is the great amount of mediocrity it entails.

So of a non-random sample of games you specifically recommended, we have 2 good first-party games, 1 tolerable first-party game, a good third-party game, something I haven't tried, and five trash games. Wonder what an actual random sample of games would entail? My guess is trash. Normally, I don't complain about the game selection, as that's a low blow to any Nintendo system. Most third-party games for Nintendo systems are trash these days. But you brought it up, so I responded in kind.

But hey, if you like the system, don't let me stop you. If you think it's great and spectacular, you keep playing your five good games per year. I'll be over here with the rest of the gaming industry, enjoying the wonderful selection (and GOOD CONTROLS) that the rest of the world has to offer.

sigh.

[jq]"It works 10x better for FPS."
Name one critically or popularly acclaimed FPS that is on the Wii that is not on the PS3 or 360. Better yet, name one good FPS that was released on the PS3/360 and sported an equivalent Wii release. You can't, because the FPSes for Wii are terrible and control horribly, while the ones for PS3/360 usually control very well and are often fun to play.[/jq]

I never said there was a "critically acclaimed" FPS on the Wii, but the ones that are on the console control very well.

Modern Warfare is an answer to the other statement.

[jq]"Developers are all about money"
You think Nintendo isn't all about money?[/jq]

No, I don't think that at all, but they aren't excactly going to go making games for their rivals now, are they?

[jq]"The ones that came out weren't that good"
Hard to make something good when the input is a pile of fail.[/jq]

What? Every game on the Wii responds fine to the controller, seriously..I have no idea where you are getting this crap from.

[jq]"Red Steel"
Crap game, I have it and it controls miserably. This review sums up my feelings pretty well.[/jq]

No. People constantly complain about the control issues with this game..I just don't seem to get it.

[jq]"HotD: Overkill"
I lol'd. HotD fails so hard, it's actually funny for the first play-through. Then you just hate it. Not to mention nobody actually likes on-rails shooters.[/jq]

That's your opinion. Overkill has gotten positive reviews all-round from magazines, and rightly so..It's amusing and fun. Also, House of the Dead is the second biggest Zombie franchise, second to that only of Resi..And I suppose it's only successful because it "fails so hard".

Also, you =/= everyone.

[jq]"The Final Fantasy Exclusives"
Oh yeah, Final Fantasy XIII is really looking to be good, and so is the versus component. Wait, what's that? It's not being released on Wii? Imagine that! What do we Wii owners get, then? "My Life as a King?" I can't believe I spent money on that heaping pile of garbage. Disappointing, to say the least.[/jq]

Oh my you are hilarious.

I didn't mention FFXIII at all, I was talking about Chocobo's Dungeon, Crystal Chronicles. They are both fully fledged Final Fantasy games that are great.

My Life as a King is apretty good God game, Pricey..But it has the same content as buying a retail game. My Life as a Dark Lord is addicting as hell also.

[jq]"Baroque"
I can't even believe you mentioned this trash. I tried it once, and it was the worst mistake of my life. Nintendo Power themselves said it best./jq]

Not the best game ever, but it's a great challenge for the "hardcore" gamer.

Most third-party games for Nintendo systems are trash these days. But you brought it up, so I responded in kind.[/jq]

You were talking about "story-line" games, "Involving" game, hense I named some.

I could name better games, but I don't want to waste my time replying to your claims of "bad controls" or "lolfailsohard"

Why would I let people like you stop me enjoying myself?.

I don't think it's "spectacular", I just have to defend it from the steaming piles of crap that people like you keep throwing at it for stupid reasons.

Of course, because I'm the only one who owns a Wii. 53 million is a big number.

Also, I own a PS3, and I prefer it to my Wii..But, oh look, the controls are no better...They are just different.

Disagree with the first statement. Modern Warfare was dumbed down for the Wii release; I said one that wasn't dumbed down.

[jq]What? Every game on the Wii responds fine to the controller, seriously..I have no idea where you are getting this crap from.[/jq]I'm beginning to wonder if you've actually played any third party Wii games.

[jq]No. People constantly complain about the control issues with this game..I just don't seem to get it.[/jq]I do. The controls are bad. It's quite simple.

At least 10 reviews for it on Metacritic were 70 or below. Overall, the scores were "generally favorable," which is tantamount to saying the game was "generally tolerable."

[jq]Also, you =/= everyone.[/jq]Thanks for enlightening me, I thought I was everyone.

[jq]Oh my you are hilarious.

I didn't mention FFXIII at all, I was talking about Chocobo's Dungeon, Crystal Chronicles. They are both fully fledged Final Fantasy games that are great.[/jq]Haven't heard of the first, and I thought the second one hasn't been released. Another thing for me to look into, but considering that it is on Wii, my hopes are not high.

[jq]My Life as a King is apretty good God game, Pricey..But it has the same content as buying a retail game. My Life as a Dark Lord is addicting as hell also.[/jq]I don't understand how MLaaK can even be considered a game. It's like SimCity meets reviewing your taxes.

[jq] Not the best game ever, but it's a great challenge for the "hardcore" gamer.[/jq]No, Contra is a great challenge for the hardcore gamer. Bad controls and bad gameplay is a challenge to keep your sanity.

[jq]You were talking about "story-line" games, "Involving" game, hense I named some.[/jq]If those are "involving," I'm a rock star. There is one Wii game I'm looking forward to; I can't remember the name, but it's some game where you play as a guy in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, where everyone except you is dead (I think that's how it goes).

[jq]I could name better games, but I don't want to waste my time replying to your claims of "bad controls" or "lolfailsohard"[/jq]So anyone that disagrees with you is a troll? I didn't say "lolfailsohard." I said the Wiimote is a heaping pile of failure, and it is (or, as you so eloquently put it, "THAT IS MY OPINION RAH RAH..." what, I can twist your words, too).

[jq] Why would I let people like you stop me enjoying myself?[/jq]
People like you. Oh man, that gets me every time. What, do you think I'm some sort of inferior species for disagreeing? Jeez.

[jq]I don't think it's "spectacular", I just have to defend it from the steaming piles of crap that people like you keep throwing at it for stupid reasons.[/jq]Mature. You don't have to "defend it." There will always be people that dislike a system. Why you feel like you have to go out of your way to prove them wrong is beyond me. I don't like it, and I know a lot of people who agree with me. Your insane fanboy-ism isn't going to change that fact.

[jq]Of course, because I'm the only one who owns a Wii. 53 million is a big number.[/jq]While you're pulling numbers out of your rear, I think I'll join in. I'm sure at least 52.9 million of those people are "casual gamers" who, through no fault of their own, are ruining the gaming industry for the rest of us.

[jq]Also, I own a PS3, and I prefer it to my Wii..But, oh look, the controls are no better...They are just different.[/jq]The game with the worst controls that I've played on PS3 still has better controls than the best of the Wii games (this includes first-party games like Galaxy, Zelda, and such).

One of the few third party Wii games I actually enjoyed, though it is a bit repetitive (not surprising, since it's Ubisoft).

The game was developed by Grasshopper Manufacture who made killer7 and Contact among other games.
The only involvement Ubisoft had with this game is that they published it in North America.

Fenrir Reki September 17th, 2009 1:16 PM

My favorite consoles are PS3 and the 360 since they both have fun and great games to play.

Samurai X September 17th, 2009 1:38 PM

My favorite consoles of this generation have been the DS and the 360, they have been since the beginning and still are now. The game libraries are pretty amazing for my tastes and XBL is wonderful.

Barney. September 19th, 2009 5:05 AM

As I don't want to waste my time.

All I can really say "twocows" is that, why are you playing these third party games in the first place? of course there are bad 3rd party games that control like crap.

It's not the console's fault, it's the developers that can't utilise the Wii properly.

Play some good games instead of picking up the games that have a reputation for being awful.

Eureka1 September 19th, 2009 5:20 AM

Wii has brawl, that is enough.

Not sure why you put my name in quotes, but whatever. I try to give a few interesting third party games a chance on any console. It's just that, with the Wii, the controls for them usually aren't any good. Sure, you can blame the developers, but when there are just so many that control poorly, I have to think that maybe the input device isn't as good as it's cracked up to be.

Barney. September 19th, 2009 10:41 AM

If the input device wasn't any good, then no games would control well.

Klippy September 19th, 2009 1:11 PM

Cello September 19th, 2009 1:43 PM

DS is my favorite hands down, despite it's not really much of a console. I'm always on the run and there is nothing better than a miniature system that can be on the run with me. :)

TRIFORCE89 September 19th, 2009 3:44 PM

When did the DS become a console?

Uhh... my favourite console of all time would be the Nintendo 64. I had loads of fun playing that as a kid. Between Nintendo and Rare everything was just...awesome.

From today? I don't know. I have a 360 and a Wii. I play them both about equally and there's stuff I like and dislike about them both.

BenRK September 19th, 2009 4:34 PM

Me, I'm building an HTPC, and when I'm done building it, it will be my favorite game console.

As for the DS being a console, it is a console. They're called Hand Held Game Consoles. Smaller console, but a console none the less.

I said console so much that it has lost all meaning.

mikey September 19th, 2009 4:36 PM

I like Wii and Gamecube x]

Yes, it did as soon as you called your HTPC one.

I presume you mean you'll have a ton of emulators. Very lame.

Mario The World Champion September 19th, 2009 8:47 PM

Favorite consoles... I got a bunch of them.

First off... the NES! You can't go wrong with the gray box of fun. I grew up with that thing. I also like... the SNES, PS1, Game Boy Advance SP, N64, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, DS Lite, PSP, Xbox 360

As you can see... I will play ANYTHING! Just as long as they have good games. Along with the NES, the PS1 and PS2 are my all time favorite consoles.

Late September 19th, 2009 10:40 PM

I have only Wii, so my favorite is Nintendo Wii. (My brother has original XBOX but I don't like it so much). I bought it because I really like it more than XBOX360 or PS3 (have played with all of them many times). Wii has good games like Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, I like Nintendo's games and consoles.

XBOX360 and Playstation 3 are going to make more kind of Wii too (Project Natal and that other on PS), because they saw that Wii is better.

Don't get me wrong. XBOX and PS is still good.

Haza September 19th, 2009 10:50 PM

X Box 360. I Like Wii and PS2 also but I favor X Box. Mainly because all the cute guys I know play one.

Tudj September 20th, 2009 2:55 AM

The Xbox 360 and Wii, as they are the ones I own, even though I am sure that the PS3 is a great console. If will made a few games that I would like them to, I would definitely pick up my wii from my bottom draw again though.

There's a difference between a handheld console and a traditional one.

I call the portable ones "systems" or "platforms". But whatever. To each his own

Father Ash September 20th, 2009 5:24 AM

I like my PS3 most. I own pretty much every console and I seriously think my PS3 is the best. I only ever really play my 360 if I'm going to play Halo online or sometimes Bioshock. My Wii is only used for DBZ BT 3 and occasionally Battle Revolution. My Ps3 is the only console I can play to kill time. It's probably because I have Rock Band and LittleBigPlanet for it but oh well.

Also I'm just going to put this out here but I think that the Wiimote is ----. Not many games work well with it, except all the Wii-Something games and any kind of Mario game (except Kart, can't play it without a GC controller).

JP September 20th, 2009 8:18 AM

The 360 pretty much. Even though I don't have a PS3, there was a time when I would have voted for that. But lately, I've been finding more and more reasons why I don't like it as much as the 360 lol.

martineargent September 20th, 2009 9:04 PM

Hi buddy
I will go for ps3.If we think about games than now all games support most of all station .So go for PS3

Sasuke64palms September 20th, 2009 10:38 PM

wii is kiddy

My favorite would have to be the 360, purely based on the fact that I use it most. I have a Wii, and have played a PS3 and the Wii's been collecting dust for almost six to seven months, while I've been too bothered by the price of the PS3 to run out and get one, but I've been considering it lately for some time. We'll see though.

Purple., please stop antagonizing members. Just let people post their opinions. They don't need to back it up.

I didn't notice his age.

Sorry about that.

But I just can't stand the claims that the whole console is kiddy.

It has plenty of shovelware...As did PS2..But no one claimed that that was kiddy.

I just don't see why people can't look pass the piles of crap that money loving developers induce onto nintendo's console.

Not every game on 360 or PS3 is actually good..Oh but it's rated 18, so no one cares.

There are so many good games on the Wii + WiiWare and Virtual console support.

I just feel like I have to defend it from alot of narrow minded people who loabel it as a gimmick or just for families and kids.

Number of games that scored over 80 (81 or higher) on Metacritic, by console (3 years after release of console):
Wii: 49
Xbox 360 (limited to games released before 2009, since console was released in 2005): 108
PlayStation 3: 106
PS2 (limited to games released before 2004, since console was released in 2000): 156

I'm not going to judge, but the numbers kind of explain themselves.

Barney. September 23rd, 2009 12:45 PM

Buy those 49 games then; You'll have a whale of a time.

I really don't think that anyone even needs more than 20 games per console anyway.

Example:

Super Mario Sunshine and Jet Set Radio Future: 10 in the graphics department for being colourful, bright and nice to look at.
GTAIV: 5 in the graphics department for looking like vomit

You should really play GoW then...

As for graphics, it is nice to have something that is bright and colourful instead of all the FPS's with their gun metal grays and so on.

Uncharted is pretty.
Tales Of Symphonia is beautiful :B

Yeah, you've got a point there, GOW gave us a reason why it's so brown. Your underground and the red in the blood and the bright yellow coming from the guns were nice to look at. But last time I checked New York wasn't completely Brown, now isn't it?

Cherrim September 24th, 2009 8:37 AM

DS is actually my favourite console. It's easy to pick up and play anywhere and has more games that interest me than the PSP.

As for the main consoles, gotta be 360 for me. My PS3 stays at home so I don't have access to it for most of the year, so I try not to get too attached (and thus buy most games on 360 instead). As for the Wii... um... lol yeah it has like 3 whole games I like on it and even then when I play them I go "damn this would be so much better on the other consoles" so it's just a joke to me. :( But the 360 has a good combination of graphics, nice controller, game selection, etc. I just wish it were quieter and didn't raise the temperature of my room by a few degrees when I play it. XD;

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 24th, 2009 9:08 AM

DS for me. Mostly because it's my only game console and I can't afford a home console on my meager college budget. I will say that I've played my brother's Wii when I'm home (we're a Nintendo family) and his selection of games leaves something to be desired.

But yeah, there are two DS games coming out this fall that have my attention so DS remains at the top of my list.

Buy some Wii games then and play them? Won't be collecting dust then.

I have a Wii and a 360 and support both of them. Buy games for both. Play games for both. I could easily not buy or play anymore games for my 360 and say it's collecting dust.

It's fine if you like the 360 or it's games better. No problems. I just absolutely hate the "collecting dust" argument that's being thrown around a lot lately.

My wishlist of games has a lot more Wii games on it than 360 games. Not even all games that I'd necessarily want to buy, just games that seem interesting to me at all.

I know for me it's just... why should I bother with games on the Wii when more interesting games (to me) are coming out on other systems? If I have $60 to spend, I'm gonna spend it on the game that appeals to me most and it's never a Wii game when that happens. I'm not going to buy a game I want less just for the sake of using my console. :(

Then that's fine. It literally is the "collecting dust" wording that drives me batty because I could let anything collect dust if I really wanted. Say "the 360's games interest me more" instead or something :\

Klippy September 24th, 2009 4:50 PM

Why should I reword myself when it literally is collecting dust? I own quite a few games for the system, but thanks for revealing that buying games would mean I'd play it more.

I love the games I have for the Wii. I wish I played it more often, but I just don't. :>

Luck September 24th, 2009 5:01 PM

My favorite console is really the PS3. The tiny features are what makes the system great, and unlike Nintendo, they don't actually sell a lot of god-awful games.
and I hate how people are complaining about how little games are available; I'd rather have a handful of good games than a tub filled with one gem in all of the garbage.


The wii?
it was...meh. The games really aren't that good(excluding the downloadable games) except for maybe Redsteel(I can't say anything on brawl, my wii was one of the few that didn't allow it being played.) And even then, that game was pretty annoying since the motion sensor wasn't as amazing as it was thought to be.

Probably the N64 or SNES. Those consoles were pretty much my childhood.

xxChazxx September 28th, 2009 5:06 AM

The NES, SNES or the Genesis. I loved them and the games just can't be beat (no matter how hard you try)

And the Wii , if only for SSBB.

My favourites would probably be: Wii-PC-DS-SNES

Wii, because I just like alot of the games on it (LoZ:TP, Metroid Prime and Mario Kart to name a few)
PC, because it is powerful (at least the good ones are) so can handle large games. Also it means I can surf the net with ease :D
DS, lots of good games out there, on the other hand there's lots of shovelware but that's only to be expected and the touch screen works surprisingly well
SNES, just because it was the first system I got (and it has Super Mario World on it :D). Now most of the best games are on the Virtual Console, so the wins over all.

I also have a PS2 and plenty of games for that and I think that is also a great system. I also play a lot of Xbox 360 (namely CoD: 4) round my friends houses and although it's a great system, I think it's far too focused on FPS games, don't get me wrong I'm always up for a bit of Halo or CoD, but there don't seem to be many games of other genres on it. Unfortunately I've never used a PS3 so I can't pass judgement on that although I've always been put off by the price (It was £500 when it first came out! £500!)

Ps2 - Loads of great old games for it (will never forget the PS2)

My DS is my favorite.
I have a Wii but I rarely play it. If I had an Xbox 360 then I'd play it all the time.

So, I guess DS>360>Wii>>>>>PS3

Sorry, but what is the point in putting ">>>>"? It's the "favorite console" thread not the "be a jerk about ps3" thread. The only reason I can see for you putting that was to cause some form of dispute or unrest.

Consoles and portable consoles come into different categories so I'll say my favourite portable is the DS which was a great success from Nintendo.

I love the N64, that console is so awesome. I love playing it some days to bring back some nostalgic memories.. ^.^
Wii's pretty cool too.

And I bet your argument for the ">>>>>" is the price tag?

Because paying more for quality does make the console itself worse.
