totally agree. Also, had a great line-up of games. and a handy handle which I got plenty of use out of.AlexKasper said:

I should probably say the first two for the social significance they had, but these two defined my childhood and teens.aruntisa said:
The N64 brought the FPS to consoles properly, as well as the 3-D platformer and adventure game.
The Cube was the Cube, it generated an unholy number of classic games relative to it's small library. But why they had to make it purple is beyond me.
SNES, easily. Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Super Mario All Stars (with Super Mario World), Donkey Kong Country, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Link to the Past, Super Mario RPG, Super Metroid, and Final Fantasy VI. Such amazing just can't be routinely countered.
SNES easily takes it one of the best consoles ever made it also had the best Nintendo controller the best collection of games on any Nintendo console (and some of the best of any console ever) and was/is extremely reliable hardware.
I have fond memories of both the nes and the snes. I played toystory for the snes almost exclusivly with a couple of friends who lived next door but one from me. Despite never having seen forest gump (I assume this is the film they quoted) it was regularly shouted during the chase levels, this gives me the right to grin when the quote is uttered dispite knowing nothing of the flim itself.
I have not played any metroid game other than super metroid, I am man enough to admit that some of the levels freaked me, since Im now aware that samus was revealed to be a woman in an earlier title but was ignorant of this fact back then, she was clearly a rocker dude.
This is the morping ball song. I did not care that it played for practically every power up, that was its name. It even had words. I was/am that sad.
Super starwars was a source of frustration. the game died every 20 minutes certain days and to add insult to injury I never got hold of a lightsaber, as such the boss on the sandcrawler still mocks me to this day.
I had what I assume were the obligatory mario games for both the nes and the snes, I hated mario cart, my friends seemed to love it..funny old world eh?
The only nes game i can think of that I remember fondly, besides mario, was gauntlet so I guess the snes was the better console. I think a friend may have had duck hunt which was cool and another once lent me a kirby game and some strange first person point and click horror type game...all I really remember is some giant green hand with big nails and getting lost in a maze of corridors.
snes wins at any rate.

I love the NES, N64 and, Gamecube but I would vote for the SNES. NES games are just a bit too difficult where as SNES games generally looked really good and could almost all be beaten. The N64 looses out mainly because of its lack of all of the classic franchises (no Punch-Out? no Metroid!?) and the Gamecube...I love my gamecube, I'm just annoyed at Super Mario Sunshine at the moment.
SNES. I only have 2 nintendo consoles (SNES and GBA, what i like to call the SNES Portable) and the SNES takes the gold, Super Mario All Stars has all the classic NES Mario games updated for the SNES, so I never felt like I missed anything. Also DKC2, SMW, SFII, and SMK are great games. Unfortunately, I always felt like I'm missing a ton of games and I am, but those's are the ones I have. Wish I had SMRPG, FFIII/VI and II/IV when I grew up.

What? I'm not technically wrong. I'd go for the SNES, just because I like 16 bits, and Super Mario World was fun, but I'm not that educated in previous Nintendo Consoles, so take my word as you will.

I can't really choose- I mean, I grew up on the tail end of SNES, and the N64, but I've heard good cases for the SNES and NES, and I wasn't there, so how can I judge?
When they bring out a Nintendo console that has a TRUE virtual console that has every single NES, SNES, N64 and GC game on it, THAT will be the best one.

SNES.
As much as I love 64 for Majora's Mask and a number of other titles, there is just something about playing SNES games that gets me so damn happy, like a pure shot of nostalgia.
Also, I should note that I didn't play SNES like a lot of other kids, that generation I was playing the Genesis because I wanted the bloody version of Mortal Kombat (back before JRPGs sucked me fully in on the PSX), and only went back to the SNES later. Actually my first SNES game was Earthbound, I was lucky and found an original, in it's box with the guide copy. I had played Smash Bros and liked the character and as it was a JRPG collectors item that I got for I think like five or ten dollars I couldn't say no.
After playing it my life was forever changed and I dove as deep as possible into the system.
To this day some of the titles amaze me, I only just recently played Terranigma on an emulator, what a game!
