Yo fellow gamers.
This topic is to share about what consoles you have old and new. Also which one is your favorite and why?
I have a Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, NES, SNES, and a Playstation 2.
For handheld systems I have an old Gameboy, a Gameboy Advanced Sp, and a Nintendo Ds.
My favorite brand name of all time is Nintendo mainly for the classics. Love my Mario and Zelda.
But for the newer consoles it doesnt look good for Nintendo the graphics and gaming style are changing and the Microsoft company is really coming out head first with some good games.
Right now my hopes are for Nintendo. But my thoughts are on the Xbox.. troubled times indeed. So yeah drop a post on what you think about this or just share the consoles.

Actually, Nintnendo is doing better than they have in years. I thought the Gamecube could have been the end for Nintendo consoles. But the Wii has revivved them and is selling very well. Yeah, the graphics are no where near the 360's but they'll getting by with inovation.

Yeah, the Wii has sold better than any Nintendo home console, except for the NES. Nintendo has a huge hit on their hands.
I currently have: Xbox 360 (2), Nintendo DS Lite (2), Nintendo Wii, old PS2, old N64, Gamecube. Only the first three get played.
Out of them all, my favorite is the Xbox 360. Has the greatest games and the best online mode. The DS Lite is great for traveling, which I do a bit of. And the Wii is fun for something new and to move around a bit more with games like WiiSports and EA Sports Active.

I agree with the online and the games. But im wondering if maybe Wii had better games if I'd play it more. The Wii has a good idea but I can't explain it its just not the classics I knew and loved. So maybe if they could make a new series that would be a good play with their motion sensors (which in shooters they are annoying especially the Metriod one.)
Maybe thats my problem with the Wii the controls are hard to master with the sensors on the Metriod Triliogy I got for christmas. But it just doesnt appeal to me as much as the Xbox 360.
I really can't put a finger on why but I just dont like the Wii. I dont know.. is the control that bad or is it just me?

Oh, I know exactly what you mean Shell. Nintendo's classics just don't have the same feel they once had. I discuss that in my first article on this site actually.
I personally loved Metroid Primes 1 and 2, but I played them on Gamecube. I only got to playa few minutes of 3 at the store when it first came out. It was really hard for me then, but that was also my first time playing a Wii and apparently I was standing to close which screwed with the sensor bar.
Oh, and the systems I own are an N64, Nintendo DS, and a Wii. As you can see, I'm a Nintendo nut. lol Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fanboy, I like all systems, but I can't afford to buy them all, so Nintendo is what I go for first because so many of their franchises are some of my favorite games. I.E. Zelda.I've had a lot of other systems in my time but I sold them all about 6 years ago when I kind of just, lost interest in gaming for a year.

"Lost interest in gaming." Is that what you call it now? 
Anyway..thought you had a gamecube also? Or was i just dreaming that lol. But for me the controls for the Metriod trilogy are just way to hard to master..mainly you can look at an enemy and start shooting at them and randomly end up looking the other way or at the cealing. If you ask me Metriod wasnt meant to be on the Wii and you will see that when you borrow the game Joe. Unless somehow im doing somthing wrong. Oh and by the way I found SSBB.

That happened to me a many years back. I played virtually nothing for a year or so. Then I moved in with my brother, he had a Xbox, and I started getting back into it a bit. Then Halo 2 came out and we played that every day for a long time.
I found the reason I "lost interest" in gaming. It was lack of multiplayer. And at that time I didn't have many gamer friends. I still liked playing video games, just not by myself anymore. So nowadays I rarely buy any game that doesn't have an active online component.

Yea I see what you mean. But I never really had that problem.
I can play a game (espeically a new one) and beat it twice before I even get tired of it. And this was still before the multi-player online capablilties. But now that I can play multi-player all the time I don't like it as much. Which is probably why I find myself stuck in an old classic game alot of the time.

I have yet to meet a console that can beat the N64.
If only it could play FF9, it would be perfect.

Lol Naoko? You made your way here as well?
In my opinion… the N64 does contain the last of the classical feel for Nintendos games. For Nintendo I havnt seen a way for them to get it back yet.
But an overall console that surpasses it.. well Xbox 360 and PS3 kinda look better and appeal to me more than the Wii.
By the way…Hi Naoko.

Sony yeah I went that way after the SNES.
Sadly I dont have a PSP or PS3.
But the Xbox 360 and Wii kinda fill the gap in my life. A great series on the Playstation is definatly the Metal Gear Solid series. I played some of the newest one but never beat it.. never found out what happend to anchient snake.

I don't own any consoles any more, Mainly play games on my laptop nowadays, Although I will be buying a PS3 soon, I've owned the wii and 360, and i liked to own all consoles per gen at least once, so i can have a fair opinion on them.

Yeah the Wii is good athough doesnt feel like a Nintendo console until you play the new Super Mario Brothers game..(played it in wal mart.) It really feels like a classic game and really draws me into it.. I know my next game to add to my collection. The 360 is just for me all around best (mainly for online play and all the shooters.) Although I miss the Playstation characters. Id like to own a PS3 but then Id own all the new generation consoles and Ill feel like a rich spoiled brat (even though im really in a mid-lower class family.) And moneys always an issue so me saving up for that long is impossible.
