What is your favorite Nintendo system of all time?

Either the SNES (most games were pretty good, in fact many are among my favourite games), but the GameBoy Advance was also very good. I'd guess you could say the SNES was my favourite CONSOLE, but the GBA was my favourite handheld. 
My fav non-Nintendo console will probably be the PS1 or PS2, judging by the sheer number of games I own for it and how often I replay them.

Gamecube
I personally feel Gamecube is the best console ever made to date by any company. This is despite having grown up with NES, SNES, N64 and GBA prior to owning it. Of course I'd never claim Gamecube is the actual best console ever. This is simply personal preference.
Games that I still look back on fondly today for the system are:
Viewtiful Joe
Tales of Symphonia
Eternal Darkness
SSX 3
Ikaruga
Wind Waker
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime
Gladius

I flipping love my 3DS... seriously! I love the DS games in general, and I like how the new 3D ones feel and play! My MGS was posted the other day, so I will hopefully have it by next week!
I really liked my gameboy when I was little, but I think I am having a lot more fun with my 3DS now! Especially as I have my favourite GB games on it!!

Probably the Gameboy Colour and the DS.
GBC because it had all of the games that I cherished growing up (namely Pokemon Gold and Silver) and the DS because it had more of those games.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver and some of the best remakes ever made and Black and White are just plain fantastic as far as a Pokemon game can go.
Other than that, I hold absolutely no love for Nintendo. Their constant 'trying to be ahead' with things like the Wii and all of the shitty, shitty choices they make which spoil even their greatest games (Pokemon, WHY U NO LET ME TRADE MORE THAN ONE AT A TIME??) quickly led me to disdain for Nintendo.
Also, this may sound like sacrilege, but I fucking hate Mario.

Tie between SNES and N64, although I'd likely lean toward the latter if I had to.
I guess I'll go N64. I still play that system more than any other to this day.

I think it still is. I am still playing SNES games I have never tried before and they are a blast. The way games looked/sounded/played is something that somehow made most entertaining even if they were bad. Renting was actually a fun experience because I was never disappointed.TizzytheTormentor said:
I got a NES at 5 years old, and I have SO MANY fond memories with it... but putting nostalgia aside, the fact of the matter is everything on the SNES was just amazing. You can judge a system by it's weakest links, and even bad SNES games looked and sounded charming. I just couldn't stop playing new games.
The NES era games can be very hard to go back to, and the PS1/N64 era was the first big leaps into 3D, so things looked abysmal (even though I am very fond of the PS1 style, I admit it's a preference thing). As they have said before on GameInformer's replay shows: the SNES was the sweet spot in gaming, and it stands out as being truly timeless. I agree entierly to that.

NDS.
Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, The World Ends with you, etc.
Its a system that you didn't need Mario, Zelda series to enjoy

Hell I love them all. Even had a good time with a Virtual Boy a friend happened to have. We were having a bunch of friends over and had a great laugh at each other taking turns to play it.
The 3D on the VB I must say actually works extremely well and the depth is even clearer than on 3DS. Even the red color doesn't bother me that much. The problem is that the thing is extremely uncomfortable to wear...if you can actually figure out how...we tried using the stand to prop it up on a table and leaning in to it, that worked but was uncomfortable...the best solution we found was to attach the thing to a headband, but with the batteries it was really heavy and kept falling off. Plus it REALLY started to hurt your nose after a few minutes.

Game cube and game boy.
The Gamecube had the OG Animal Crossing, Gheist (which some people didnt like), Super Smash Bros Melee, Wind Waker, Pikman 1+2, Sonic DX (the only 3D Sonic game I've liked), and Kirby Air Ride just to name a few. It was so easy to set them up in cars too.
The Game boy had the Pokemon series, Mario, and the Megaman Battle Network series.
