I spent most of my gaming days playing the Gamecube and Wii, so I’d say Gamecube is probably the system I have the greatest attachment to. But N64 is definitely a close second!
Atari 5200 because it was my first system and I have a nearly complete collection, although I’m certain I’ve put more hours into the few games I had for the NES (the Atari catalog leaned heavily toward arcade-style games that were originally designed to eat quarters).
By number of games owned, the Wii/Wii U win easily, but I never really felt that sentimental about either system. I know the Wii U was widely panned, but I thought it was a nice improvement to the Wii in almost every way and had some great games that were basically copy/pasted onto the Switch. I just wish they’d done more with the asymmetric gameplay.
For modern(ish) systems, Switch is my favorite, as the PS4 just doesn’t have that many games that appeal to me.
My wife has a switch, she says it’s our switch, which might be technically true. But I just have no interest in any games for modern consoles enough to shell out the cash to buy them and then play them. I have too many games I don’t play as is. xD
Wii u, weirdly enough. When modded, it’s an absolute beast, with basically the beast Nintendo compatibility out there. It can run games for every home console prior to it, and all the handhelds up to the ds. Plus, mods support any Bluetooth controller, so I’ve been using my dualsense for maximum comfort.
if pc counts then pc but if strictly game consoles then probably wiiu love the console had so many great games donkey kong country tropical freeze super mario 3d world captain toad treasure tracker not only that but it was backwards compatible with the wii too mario galaxy 2 slapped and so did the skylander series (skylanders is the fucking goat) i absolutely adore the wiiu
i grew up with a pirated PS2, lived in a country with shit economy so i used it to dead for almost 10 years, thanks to that i played all kind of games on it, and most of my favorites are all there. no other console comes even close to it for me.
Atari 2600. Nothing comes close to the experience of going from a world without video games existing to them magically appearing in your own lounge room.
Nintendo DS. I probably spent the most time on it out of all the Nintendo consoles I own. I have fond and nostalgic memories of playing Pokémon Diamond and Platinum on it.
I think Playing Pearl and Soul Silver are probably some of my fondest DS Memories, maybe even my fondest handheld memories. Those games were really good, I still go back to them sometimes.
I never owned the original, but Shining Pearl was really fun on the Switch. Got to the very last trainer without much trouble at all, and then suddenly she was insanely difficult. I managed to make it to her last Pokemon, but I was bleeding out potions and hardly making a scratch. Afterward, I realized I’d have to rebuild my entire team and level for ages to beat her and so I decided “close enough!”, haha.
I’d say pearl was my first real Pokémon game. Like, I had some Pokémon games before that, but Pearl was the first main series Pokémon game I actually finished (and then some). Back in the day, back when my online friends and I were too retarded to know of any other platform, we would use Pokémon Pearl as the go-to voice chat platform, before we found out about Skype.
Gotta say the PSP even though I only had a Wii as a child. The hardware of the PSP and the homebrew community is just so amazing.
I have a modded vita, it’s it’s absolutely nutty what it’s capable of
