to me the best gaming console was the nes. it had tons of games and had variety to no end. i like the 'cube but i still think of those great old days and original zelda and mike tyson's punch out.
I never had a nes because i was poor , my first system was the SNES and i remember having the most fun with this playing Zelda: A link to the past, for like 2 years. Super scope 6 was pretty fun. I played my SNES all the time and I have yet to play any of the recent consoles this much. So im gonna say SNES was the best system ever, for me.
