Hey everyone! What is everybody's favourite video game console of all time?? Personally, I would probably have to pick the Nintendo 64! There might be a little bit of nostalgia involved, truthfully, but there were so so many great games for that console, and I also feel like it was almost ahead of its time in a sense/ground breaking a bit. How about the rest of you? Image from pinterest.com

I am a console collection. I have anything from ps1 to ps4. I dont have the 80's consoles though since that is not my era. I love ps2 the most because it has no dlc, microtransactions and annoying updates. The diversity of genres were also amazing. there is lack fo diversity when it comes to modern consoles.

@mawdest I hate the ps4 era because of the games that were released uncomplete thanks to dlc

@CaptAlbertWhisker Ahh yes! I do not own a PS4 myself. I had one for a very short while, then sold it!

Ah, console collector? That is really cool! You don't have the 80's consoles though, fair enough, yeah they weren't my era either but I still had the NES at one point, I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the PS2 as well!

Yes! I owned a PlayStation a few years after it officially came out, what a great console that was. I would say I preferred the N64, but the PS1 was very good!

@puddleglum A favourite game.. Good question! I can't stick to one at this moment, but a few I loved were: Roadrash: Jailbreak (a game where you would race on motorcycles, evading police, and you could knock other people off their motorcycles with weapons.. it was interesting.. and it also had a great soundtrack!), I loved the Gran Turismo games (so I also like driving games!), but possibly my absolute favourite game was this one where you were a robot, and you would face another robot in a battle, and you could change your weapon/shield parts and what not! It was very interesting, but I cannot remember what it was called, for the life of me! Anyways, I do not think I have ever played your favourite game, but that's great!

@mawdest Did you have a favorite game? Mine was World's Scariest Police Chases (based on the tv show.) I liked driving games.

I still have my Nintendo 64. It was an awesome console, and I still haven't found another controller I like as much as that one. There were some really awesome titles for the Gameboy Advance, though I'd have to go with the SP model over the original. The DS/3DS thing is just getting out of hand these days. I can't keep up with which games require which version of the console.

Very cool! Yeah, I agree about there being great titles for the Gameboy Advance! I never had the SP though, it seemed cool enough though. My absolute favourite game series for Advance was Advance Wars!! Loved those games so much.. That I even played them up to just a few years ago. I love war strategy type games, but something about those games in particular, I got hooked on them, dont know why exactly lol. And yes, I own the old original DS as well as a 3DS.. I get what youre saying! :P

@mawdest I never played the Advance Wars games, but my husband was into them years ago. I ended up stealing his copy of Metroid Fusion at some point and never gave it back...

@yukimori Ah cool, me and your husband could probably talk about Advance Wars for a long time haha. Ooh Metroid Fusion, nice! I know about that game, but do not think I ever played it!

I'd have to go with the N64 also. I spent so many hours playing Mario Kart on that. The original Wii would be my second choice, because that Mario Kart you could play with people from around the world. Yes..I'm a Mario Kart addict.

N64 twins! Haha :) Yess!! Mario Kart was such a good game! I believe that was one of my first games I owned for Nintendo 64 if I am not mistaken, and I definitely logged a ton of time on that game as well. I used to own a Wii too, never played Mario Kart on it though. Got to love online features on consoles though eh? Nothing wrong with being a Mario Kart addict! Sometimes I play Mario Kart on my Nintendo 3DS online! That brings me to a tangent, where I remember when I first got "Live" for Xbox (the original Xbox) back in 2004 or so, how exciting it was to play people online over a console, it seemed so interesting back then, especially!

That's great! I used to own a PS4, but sold it almost right after I got it. I wanted the money more than anything, as the PlayStation was a gift. I somewhat regret it now, though, as I know the PS4 has a lot more games out now! What kind of games do you play for the PS4? :)
