THE BEST CONSOLE! - Happy Console Gamer 

The SNES is my favorite console. It was the 1st console I owned and had so many 10/10 games that molded my childhood (Super Mario World, Killer Instinct, DKC 1 and 2, Yoshi's Island and, my all time favorite, Final Fantasy 6).

I mean this from the bottom of my heart Johnny. It warms my heart so much that their are others who have videogames in our souls like us. Thank you for the years of entertainment.

Saturn. I had most of the heavy hitters. It broke my heart utterly to sell it off during our recession, and while I bitterly resent having to do it, it kept my children fed while I was out of work. I'd do anything to have it all back.

I'm glad johnny explained his reasons for picking the Switch. Most people on YT don't come off real and genuine with explaining their best console ever (or pretty much anything else in general), this guy does. It's not my all-timer, but is THE best console of this generation, hands down. But for my favorite console of all time, it's the NES. Just the memories alone from playing it's games, and many still going franchises started on this console. The moment me and my sister got Super Mario Bros. 3 for christmas, that was an all-time moment in my childhood. The console is still remembered fondly in many merchandise! IMO it also refined the music in video games. So many instantly recognizable tunes.

I'd have to go with the PS2 as my favorite console of all time. Being fully backwards compatible with the PS1, as well as host to some of my all time favorite games, AND it was a DVD player?!? The thing was an absolute must have, and mine has seen literally thousands of hours of use. The Switch is definitely my favorite modern system, and if the eventual Switch successor is backwards compatible THAT system will certainly wind up in the top spot.

The PS VITA post mortem has been my biggest source of joy. I discovered so many games and there is not a lot of crap to filter out, almost any second hand game I bought was a game good enough to be finished. After that I installed the CFW that enabled me to play PSP games and PS1 through PSP games and this has been how I rediscovered all my collection of older portable and PS1 games. This thing is so small (the slim version) I can actually pocket in and out of the bus which I've done for almost 4 years now. Sony loosing the portable race has made me actually sad seeing how much I love this one!

Nintendo Switch without question is my favorite console of all time. It’s insane for all the rpgs, all the fighting games, the bullet hells, the plethora of arcade and retro games, the insane number of indies, and awesome new games from Nintendo! That’s not even taking about how much potential the hardware itself had when it first came out, and still has. There is so much you can already do with the system that people either don’t know about, or don’t care for, but is all there none the less. HD rumble is awesome when utilized right, Labo was a fun distraction and neat for DIY projects, it has an underutilized or motion camera and so many different style controllers and ways to play for almost everyone. Sure it has its problems like Joycon drift and it not having a ton of power, but you can’t ignore all of the cool things you can do with this small console!

I literally got my first switch about a month ago. Even already, with just having Xenoblade 3 on the system, I can easily see myself saying it’s my #1 system. The whole portability aspect of it is just so cool! That and as you say; RPGs 😍

I know I'll be in the minority for sure when I say that PlayStation 3 is my favourite platform. The promise that it held in its commitment to being the ultimate multimedia device actually came to pass. Ken Kutaragi had a vision for what the HD future of entertainment could be in the living room and banked on many features that were so far ahead at the time of its reveal. That's not even to mention the games that came to define our present era. The ascension of From Software in 09 and 11 being arguably a pivotal step in cementing the challenging, online, action RPG genre as a gameplay template that is the gift that keeps on giving. The fact that even jailbroken ps3 can enjoy the legacy of the first two PlayStation consoles and some PSP games. All that and It's the last and best device to support analog tv displays and stream content from many different sources also makes it the ultimate CRT companion that I wouldn't want to be without. There's just not enough words to describe how important I feel the ps3 is and remains to be even as we see the industry advance and adopt all the things (like blu-ray, wifi, internal HDD) that were right there even with the launch of PS3.

The N64 is my favorite as it is the ultimate party machine for local multiplayer and it will probably never get beat in that category since local multiplayer tends to not be a priority to a lot of developers anymore. Many of my greatest gaming memories were from playing N64 games like GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64, and No Mercy (just to name a few of many) with friends. Still to this day, whenever my friends and I can get together under one roof, the N64 still always gets powered up. The N64 also provided me with great single player experiences as well as games like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time were revolutionary gaming experiences that changed the industry and had a huge impact on me. I can still remember my first experience playing those games and the feeling of amazement that I had during it like it was yesterday. And whenever I replay them, all of those great feelings come back.

My favorite console has been the Nintendo Gamecube for over 10 years now and I dont see it changing any time soon. The games, the memories made with it, the design, the era that I never stopped living in. I adore the Gamecube.

Man, Johnny, I love that we shared the same favorite console at least for the past several year! I’m only 27, so obviously growing up with the PS1 naturally makes me inclined towards it, so it’s validating to hear you as someone older love it just as much. Your new number one is definitely worthy of the spot! Enjoy your Sunday, my friend ✌🏻

I'm more of a fan of the old school nes snes and genesis or as I like to call them the holy trinity lol. But the switch is definitely up there for me now. With all the retro and modern games to play it has alot of variety for whatever game you're into. So I agree the switch is my favorite

Genesis was my favorite for many years followed my the Dreamcast. The Switch has recently eclipsed those due to the combination of new vs. nostalgia. The ability to do it all portable as well is the icing on the cake.

I'm a 34 year old woman who loves the Super Nintendo System my mom brought home in the 90s. Two games that really spark my love for video games were Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. 👌🏾 ❤️ The graphics, sounds, main characters were iconic to this day.

The PS1 used to be my favorite console in the past but over time I started to fall in love with my Switch thanks to it being portable and having such an amazing library of games including the majority of my favorite games of the past like Katamari Damacy, Final Fantasy IX, Spyro 2, Mario 64, Super Mario World, Spelunky, A Hat in Time and the list just goes on and on!

Mega Drive + Mega CD was my fave time in gaming, after that probably the Dreamcast.

Sega’s Genesis is my favorite console of all time. First console I purchased with my own money. I have so many wonderful memories and games that I still play on my original console to this day & It beings a smile to my face every time I see it in my game room. Sheer volumes of great games on any other console doesn’t make me smile the same.

I’m only 23 yr old, so my first console was the ps2. Even though I absolutely love playing PlayStation exclusives, I would say that the Switch really has everything for being my favorite console right now: the portability, the games and, my favorite part, being able to put the cartridge inside the console and just play the game. No installation needed and no massive updates needed. That being said, I would put the ps4 in second place, simply because of the great game catalog available.

No doubt for me: Dreamcast. I own two of them: an original with led, battery mod, brand new optics. A second one is full tuning: led, battery, pico psu, gd emu with 3d printed tray, and blue led case mod. :) Sturmwind, Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia.. Capcom vs SNK 1-2, and many more..

Dreamcast because of Shenmue, Shenmue was way ahead of its time and paved the way for open world games we have today

It's between the SNES and PSX for me, such incredible experiences!

Has to be the Saturn for me. This to me was the first console to perfectly bring the arcade home…plus fire pro 6 man scramble is my favorite game of all time

I've been playing my Switch more and more recently and I noticed what I love the most about multi platform games on it - no achievements/trophies, I really feel like they take away from the mystery of how much a game has left to offer you and they make it feel more like a construct of parts that the dev thought was impressive, rather than you deciding for yourself.

I have owned a lot of consoles in my life, I have to say its the switch hands down, everyone is just going to nostalgia vs what they actually play a lot of til this day.

Saturn. Just perfect timing for my style of play, at the age of 14. Dragon Force, Albert Odyssey, Sega Rally, Datona, Virtua Fighter, World Series Baseball, Worldwide Soccer, Shining the Holy Ark, Dark Savior... I loved my Saturn

For me it was the PS1 cause back then I was a fighting game addict (and still am) but I remember renting a PS1 just to play Street Fighter Alpha for the first time and that started my obsession with the console which was great cause Capcom later on gave us stuff like Resident Evil and Strider 2 and other hidden gems like Rival Schools. Plus I remember when the Dualshock was such a big deal back then cause analog sticks for controllers where not common at the time but they adapted for games like MGS and Grand Turismo. Also discovering custom soundtracks while playing Ridge Racer was insane back then. Playstation was very innovative back then, sadly not so much currently.

PS1 for me. It has so many of my favorite games. From it has the PS1 era Final Fantasies, which are my favorite games ever, even ported many of the old school Final Fantasies. Suikoden, Wild Arms, some amazing adventure, racing, and fighting games. And it's very nostalgic for me. It wasn't close to my first console, but it was the console where I started getting into gaming hardcore as more than just a casual hobby. It's when I started collecting, making weekly trips to game stores to check things out, pre-ordering, etc. Also it was the first console I bought with my own money. I remember taking treks up to my local game store for so many PS1 releases, coming home, so excited to play, but also dreading school the next day because I wanted to play all night. Just a great console. Some of my favorite series have never been the same to me since that console.

Gotta be the PS2 for me personally. So many great games, many of them licensed too which is unusual.

My two favorite consoles of all time would have to be the Sega Genesis and Nintendo switch.

SEGA Saturn is my all-time favorite console. had one since '96 and once I discovered all the imports left in Japan, it cemented the spot. In my top 5- SNES, PlayStation (1), NES, and Dreamcast. Honorable mention: TurboDuo

Top 3 For Me: 1) Super NES 2) PS2 3) Playstation A lot of nostalgia being these were my consoles from childhood, but I honestly feel like I could live without these modern consoles, just let me keep my old school ones and I'll be happy

The PS1 hands down. An amazing RPG machine that had visuals in FMV that had yet to be seen, and the original Final Fantasy VII FMV impressed me in 2006 when I played it for the first time, while going through the newer PS2 games, and still impresses now. Final Fantasy VIII was my first Final Fantasy, and an amazing achievement in the gaming industry with it's emotional, heartwarming soundtrack, and story that hardly any other RPGs have matched, except for Legend of Dragoon, which is my favorite PS1 RPG of all time. It had the amazing Lunar games, Legend of Legaia, and so many others that defined the machine! EDIT: The Switch is a close second with the portability factor! I can play the old Doom games, FVII, FVIII, and a ton of new RPGs, and the re-release of Shin Megami Tensei III on the go! I think both of them are almost just as good IMO!

As a JRPG fan, the Nintendo DS and 3DS have been my favorites for a long time. This era of consoles got me into so many franchises : Fire Emblem, SMT, Etrian Odyssey, Bravely Default , Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Zero Escape, Pokemon, Radiant Historia, The World Ends With You and many more. To me, the Switch is the successor that the 3DS needed.

The Switch has become my favorite as well. I would've never thought that 5 years ago!

I gotta agree with you, Johnny. The Switch has been my favorite for quite a while now and has even changed my habit in playing games.

I absolutely love the Ps2. My first console was the ps1 but once I got a ps2 and Ape Escape 3 I knew I would be addicted to the console for many many years. And to this day it's still a huge part of my collection as I'm now collecting and playing all the rpgs I missed out on and it's backwards compatible with ps1 which makes it even better. The Switch though would be one of my favorites as well.

The Sega Genesis is my favorite. A combination of great games and nostalgia. A few of my favorite games of all time are on there.

This video finally made me feel validated with the fact that the Switch is also my favorite console, it truly reinvigorated my love of gaming.

That feeling of looking at the shelf and it just making you happy is PS Vita games for me. Idk I just love the way the cases look on the self.

My personal favorites are N64 and Dreamcast, but I think the PS2 or SNES is objectively the best console ever

Nothing beats getting a brand new SNES back when it first launched. The library of games for that thing is just legendary. The NES started it all for me but the SNES was on another level. But then I jumped into PC gaming and no console since can compete with that, it is what it is.

I have to agree with you, the switch has brought back so much nostalgia to modern day gaming for me! Not to mention these small publishers reincarnating old classics like you mentioned and also the castlevania collection, contra collection, pacman collection, klonoa, portal: companion collection, and in a few days the TMNT: cowanbunga collection...i know some are also available on playstation 4 but for some odd reason, I'd much rather own it on the nintendo switch!

I hate picking favorites of anything but I guess the Genesis would be my fav... I guess. I haven't really been able to get into the Switch at all. I have like 110+ PS4 games and maybe 12 Switch games.

I always bounce back and forth between SNES and PS2, especially the latter since it was BC with PS1 games.

When I think about fav consoles, for me it is the console that shaped my gaming interests and what has left the lasting impression. And that is definitely PS1. FF7-9, RE 1-3, silent hill, parasite eve, xenogears, alundra, Bushido blade, persona, metal gear solid, lunar, all of the classic RPGs. It brings me back to the days of video and game rentals. Games that engrossed me so deeply I would stay inside for days. I totally think the switch is an absolutely great choice and objectively it's better in almost every way. But the PS1 shaped me. It opened up my imagination and showed me games were more than side scrolling platformers. So it will forever hold that place 🙂

I'm an exclusive handheld gamer because of work, family, life & time... My top 3 Handhelds are ... 1.) Nintendo Switch 2.) Gameboy Advance SP 3.) Playstation Portable Everyone is going to the Steam Deck now, but you gotta admit that the Switch is/was, user friendly & perfect for it's time. There is a 10/10 classic game for every single genre on this awesome MACHINE. 1.) Fire Emblem Three Houses 2.) Super Mario Odyssey 3.) Xenoblade Chronicles + (all) 4.) Resident Evil 4 + (all) 5.) Elder Scrolls V Skyrim 6.) The Witcher 3 7.) Smash Ultimate 8.) Bioshock Collection 9.) Final Fantasy XII 10.) GTA Collection Ect ... There will never be another console like it in it's time (aside from a Switch Pro/2) What a time to be alive 🤟

I agree with you. The Switch is my favorite by a long shot, for many of the reasons you shared. Great game library, tons of 3rd party support, portability. I have worn glasses most of my life and being able to play in bed without wearing my glasses or contacts… it may sound odd to most but it is so freeing!

My only problem with the Switch is the lack of trophies/achievements. And my reasoning for that is, I feel like I can never truly 100% a multi-platform game on the Switch. I am working on 100% completing Final Fantasy X for example. I can do that on my PS4 but not on my Switch.

Call me crazy, but the Dreamcast blew me away back in the day

As a SEGA guy I gotta say it's the SNES. Super Metroid, Link to the Past and Super Mario World are just a unbeatable trifecta!

Hollow Knight on the Switch is one of my favourite all time experiences. I played it for 15 hours straight on a long haul flight. Epic.

Even though I absolutely love the Switch, and the PS1 is undoubtedly one of the greats, I just have to go with the SNES for me. I mean.. as a JRPG fan, we got FF4, FF6 (my favorite game of all time), Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger. As well as Mario World, Mario Kart, and A Link to the Past. All these games were the foundations of my love for video games. I have to give an honourable mention to the PS1 though, for the FFs, the Suikodens, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Metal Gear Solid.. what a lineup!

The switch gave me a chance to get introduced to so many amazing old and new rpg’s like dragon quest 11, grandia and secret of mana to name a few!!

Agree 100% as the Switch has shown its value in the gaming universe. The first party titles will always be the strongest point for any console but thankfully the Switch has garnered much third party support too.Ironically I don't play my Switch on the go much as I play it mostly docked but the knowledge that I can take my games on the go really is nice.

I have the best memories about my SNES and my Playstation One. Now our family is all about the Switch! Absolutely love taking it on trips!

Hard to choose my favorite of all time. I think it's tied between the PS1 and the SNES. So many great games and memories! The Switch is awesome too! I really enjoy mine. Xbox 360 and PS2 are great also! So many to choose from.

The SNES is already great, but when you include the Japan-only Super Famicom games, it has my favorite library of games.

For me, It's ps2. It has so many great games. And here in Korea, It was the first console ever sold under the name of the console maker. It opened the door of importing console games here and we finally got to play video games legally. Before that, we usually got to play games smuggled.

NES was my favorite console for almost 30 years, but the Switch passed it recently. I love the system, I really do. As you say - it's not perfect, but man it has really transformed my gaminghabbits. The Hybrid aspect, the games.. it just works for me.

As far as the Switch goes, I definitely consider it my favorite current-gen console. At least, I did consider it that, until I got my Steam Deck. Now, the Steam Deck serves the same function as my Switch, plus its library is essentially infinite.

For me I’d have to say PS4. It’s a great combo of ability to play classics and also so many amazing exclusives and other great games: Horizon, Persona 5, Resident Evil 2, FF7 Remake. It’s just so incredible.

I have to agree for same reasons. Being able to relive the RPGs of my teens on a handheld is amazing! Being able to play multiplayer split screen in the car (usually while on the ferry) or elsewhere is awesome. The new games are fantastic too.

I Agree. Heres a very long comment ranting about why I love the Switch: Basic Reading Ability and Patience Lvl 3. Required to Read Comment. Rated S for Some people. I grew up in the NES days, I'm 33 now. I've played most major consoles from the N64 and Dreamcast and PS1/PS2/etc, Xbox/Xbox One/etc. as well as the handhelds from the OG Gameboy to the GBA, GBA SP1, GBA SP2 Backlit, DS, DS Lite, 3DS, New 3DS, PSP, PS Vita, and many more systems but I think you get the point. The Switch is my favorite console of all times despite of and partially because of its limitations. Seeing how the Steam Deck and other handheld gaming consoles are coming out is really cool; I like them. Yet at the same time seeing how these power house handhelds are not as streamlined and not quite as streamlined yet has given me an all new appreciation for my Switch. Although I've had many consoles the Switch is my default that I play 99% of the time and ALWAYS have a ton to play and giant backlog. I have bought more Switch games, 100s of them, than any other console. I've always been partial to handheld gaming and I love the Vita still yet the Switch is my all time favorite. Ever since it's launch back in 2017 I've been playing the same model and picked up a Switch Lite but sold it, but it has just consistently surprised me. The "impossible ports" are impressive and fun to play, but its really the HUGE library of games from the past & present that make it such a joy. I love playing with friends online and genuinely have had a great experience with NSO compared to the stories I hear. If I could only play one system for the rest of my life at the moment it would be the Switch. I'm ecstatic about it and it's gotten me through many good times and bad times as something to always come back to. As the youngest of 3 brothers I've always been the gamer and my brothers lapsed and stopped playing for a while. Surprisingly my 40 year old brother got a Switch and plays it as much or more than I do and my other brother also plays quite a bit. The best part of all is the couch co-op with friends and family get togethers and also getting on FaceTime and playing with my brothers to catch up. The Switch has kept my brothers and I connected even though we live far apart and that alone I'm grateful for. Also with games like Odyssey and Breath of the Wild I have been blown away and felt this magical sense of childlike wonder I though I would never feel again. Of course the indie scene is amazing and I could never play through them all but I'm having a hell of a time. There's so many games on the Switch if they stopped making them today I could play happily for years without caring about what's coming next. That being said if a Switch PRO model comes out I will most likely be updating day 1 because a bump to the power and quality of the build would be very much appreciated. I know this sounds like a bit of a strange thing but the Switch limitations have a certain charm to me where I am impressed what they can get running on it and what sacrifices they make to get certain games running. It's a bit odd to say and I haven't heard anyone say that but I like to see the tricks developers do to get triple A games on Switch. Every time I think I've seen the best graphics the Switch has to offer from BotW to Astral Chain to Monster Hunter Rise and now Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I am just blown away. I could rant about this for a very long time but this comment is too long already. Maybe I'll make a video if I get over my camera shyness and can get all these thoughts together. During the last 2 years since the lockdowns in 2020 I really just solidified that the Switch is the GOAT of all consoles.

My favourite system will always be the PlayStation 2. Despite being the system I primarily grew up with, I also think it represents a moment of unrivaled creativity and experimentation within the industry. From AAA games like Final Fantasy X and the Grand Theft Auto trilogy to smaller Japanese projects like Killer7 and Okami, it really felt like every studio was putting their all into taking advantage of the system's admittedly restricted hardware at the time. Almost every genre thrived on there, and I'm still finding games I missed when I was younger that I'm going back and experiencing for the first time and loving, like the Xenosaga series. To me, when people say nowadays "It plays like a PS2 game", that's the biggest compliment you can give a game, because those games prioritized mechanics and gameplay over presentation and storytelling, and even then they still did those well.

The Switch is the console that made me come back to gaming after 10 years. A true masterpiece of a machine.

Switch also my fav console of all time. But recently got a steam deck, I'm completely blown away by it. Could possibly be a game changer from now or the future.

The Xbox 360/PS3/Wii era was probably my favorite console generation. The Xbox 360 specifically holds some of my best gaming memories, and games I spent the most time on overall. I spent 100's of hours online in Gears, Halo,COD, series. Since I liked the controller best I got most of my third party games on the 360 too. PS3 had some amazing singleplayer exclusives and I played it alot for that, but spent the most time on 360 between all the third party and first party online games.

I'm a 33 year-old. I have to say my favorite console is the Xbox 360. It was the 1st console to hit the market and have a completely different looking UI by the end of its life. It did a lot of good and bad for the industry. I fell in love with this generation.

Gamecube. Great library of games, Most mature titles on a Nintendo, Great controller. Add in the Gameboy player adapter and you get so many NES rereleases from the GB advance. SNES is a very close 2nd.

I think when you look at the PS4's library of games, and especially if you consider remasters/re-releases, the PS4 is really amazing.

I’ve been playing games for forty years, and as this question comes up often I’ve had time to think. I have to say PlayStation 2. Reasons: I still play it constantly. There is so much variety. I still discover new games hunting in the wild. I have lots of fun. My runner up is Wii, because I am smiling ear to ear every time I play and it has the most innovative controller Eva, it gets flack but seriously it is a light gun, my hands aren’t stuck together and the games load in seconds.

As extensive as its library has been, Switch's RPG library would be even more impressive if (or when) they get all the old Dragon Quests and forgotten Super Famicom RPGs. But my favorite console is still the Sega Saturn. The Saturn's Japanese library is so underrated.

Gotta say the Dreamcast. It was so far ahead of it's time. (Considering it's Japanese release date) and the vmu may have been a gimmick but it was a really cool one.

I just came to the realization recently that the Switch is my favorite console too. It's only missing a few games that could be ported: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, Final Fantasy Tactics, Metal Gear, Castlevania SOTN "with original voice actors", Suikoden 1 & 2, and Wild Arms. I really feel that Konami, and Square Enix are not capitalizing on the Switch. There is so much potential here!

I actually hate the unified red spines on the Switch cases. I don't want all my games to be the same color. I want to be able to see what a game is from a distance before I approach it. I love seeing each of my games display their own unique personality in their spine designs. I look at my GameCube collection, my favorite console, and see all the cool spine art and just feel happy to have it. I don't get that feeling with my Switch collection, which is why I'm working on customizing it by printing off (or paying someone to print off) custom Switch spines. I recommend taking a look at the subreddit, r/SwitchSpines, if you're interested. You can search for spines created by the users there, request spines that aren't made, or follow tutorials on how to create your own.

I like my Wii U the most, it has so many great games, and having the touch screen controller as a map or to play handheld is amazing.

1. PS3 2. Nintendo Switch 3. PS2 4. N64 5. SNES

Man that’s a tough one. Best childhood memories were on the NES. Best teen memories PS1. Best modern memories are all the Xbox consoles and the latest has awesome legacy support. The Switch is awesome too but its lack of many legacy titles is a big let down for me.

Another thing thank you for your energy and enthusiasm regarding gaming Rob. I love your channel. Peace and love from Southern California -100RosesArt

I’m 100% with you on the switch, Johnny. I was just telling a friend those same things the other day and i still can’t believe there are gamers out there that don’t even have a switch!

For me, it's definitely the Sega Genesis. It was the second console we had as a family after the original NES and I have some of my fondest memories of playing that and continue to play games on it to this day with my Sega Nomad. The original PlayStation would be my number two.

For me, Gamecube is my favourite console of all time. It had such a great lineup of games at launch, and great library in general. I love the design, the controller and the tiny discs - It was a very powerful and compact little machine. Nintendo was something else back then.

I have the same feeling. For me it was once the NES then PS1 and now Switch I am glad you made this episode.

That's a decent pick, Johnny. The Switch has an incredible library. I wonder if it has supplanted the PS2 in sheer library size already. But regardless, the Switch has so many things working for it, it really is a wonderful system. I kinda wish there was a way to play DS and 3DS games on it and buy retro roms, that would make it the perfect console in my opinion.

I agree! I absolutely love this machine. Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade, Splatoon all killing it around the launch year and then all of the indie titles.

Hard to narrow it down to 1 but the 360 ps3 wii era is my favorite generation, you can play tons of the best games from the previous generations and devs were still making great double A games that took chances. Feels like now it is AAA or indy, and don't get me wrong some of the indies nowadays are impressive and fantastic, but probably mostly due to my age and nastalgia I have to give it to the 7th generation.

Have to agree John. The original PlayStation was my favorite...so many good games. It has now been replaced by the switch with its outstanding library of games new and old as well as portability which is a huge part of the appeal. Its only significant drawback are the crappy joycons but fortunately 3rd party’s have provided good options.

My favorite console of all time always gets tied between SNES and Playstation. Both of those machines are just absolutely chock full of amazing, 10/10 games in their respective libraries. I can't choose between them.

My favorite may have to be the PS4. Before Covid, I wouldn't really game as much. But I spent so much time on this machine over the last few years playing Yakuza 0 through 6, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1, and I love the exclusives like God of War 2018 and God of War 3 (one of my fav games of all time) remastered for it. Its my main entertainment console. Though I will say, I love being able to roam about the house and play the Switch anywhere too!

Yep 100% agree! The Switch is absolutely fantastic! Tons of great games are on it from both 1st and 3rd party!

The Sega Saturn is my favorite. It’s the first one I bought with my own money, saved up for months to afford it. And it still really annoys me that Sega stopped supporting it in the USA after such a short period of time. It lasted longer in Japan.

The Saturn is my all time favorite for so many reasons. The time it was released next to other consoles really made it stand out. I feel very fortunate to have picked up so many Saturn games at retail that later turned out to be ground breaking. The artwork, the thick color manuals, the untapped potential of the cartridge slot, and so many other things push it to the top of my list in 2022!

I echo pretty much everything you've said here. The Switch has also become my favorite console. I also love collecting the cartridges, they're just more fun to collect than disks are to me for some reason.

The PS2. I don't think a system could ever come close even if they tried. Fully backwards compatible, RPG central, DVD/CD player, over 1000 NA games made. Everyone had one. Onimusha. Resident Evil. Final Fantasy. Shinobi. God of War. Devil May Cry. Contra SS/Neo. Anime based games. GTA. Every game for the PS2 just screamed early 2000s. Martial arts games like Rise to Honor and Path of Neo. Good licensed movie games like Batman Begins and Spiderman 2. It was just a better time where everyone had a PS2 and everyone loved it.

I think the one that had the biggest impact on me was the SNES. I remember playing so many great games, kirby super star, super punch out, the final fantasies, chrono trigger, mortal kombats, etc etc. I was born in 92 but my mother who is also a gamer started me on the atari and went on from there. Im glad she did that as i feel i appreciate how the games have evolved more. If it wasnt the SNES id have to go with the N64 because thats the first time i played video games with friends. Duke nukem, goldeneye, mario party and kart and diddy kong racing. Man im getting so nostalgic typing this!! Thanks for all the videos i always look forward to the Sunday releases with my coffee!!!!

I have been saying for some time that the Switch is my evergreen system. Further I think that it will be the last cartridge console. Thereby making it my favorite of all time. Great video!

I agree 100% with you. The fact that you can play past and present games in a portable way amazed me. This console, together with xbox one (mainly because the huge library of the game pass), shows that this generation is the best one of all time

Fantastic energy like always. The SNES was always my favorite, but you may have convinced me to re-evaluate that stance. I sold off my collection last March and continue to collect for Switch, PS4 and 5 and Xbox One and X. The Switch is a fun console to collect for.

It’s gotta be the Switch. The Switch has it all. Every genre is represented, and much like you said it is the perfect marriage of past and present. From first party titles to indie games to everything in between, the Switch has by far delivered more than any other Nintendo system. Ever. It’s legend status will go down in the history books and the MOST important feature the switch 2 needs to have is backwards compatibility.
