Lately I have been playing Genesis (both through the PS3 collection and on original hardware), PCE and PCE-CD games, and a bunch of arcade games that never saw console ports via MAME. I try to make it a point to beat at least one game for every retro console I own annually, and while I sometimes fall short it helps keep everything in regular rotation :)

Been playing a lot of N64 lately, mostly Snowboard Kids and Vigilante 8. My Dreamcast is pretty much always hooked up, too, but the games fly in and out of that system, so I can't say any that I've specifically been focusing on any particular games lately.

I've been playing mostly PSP and Wii lately, with a little bit of random N64 mixed in.

Depending on how you look at things, you may not consider PSP and Wii to be retro. In that case, swap them out for Famicom and the original Game Boy.

considering that both Wii and PSP are current gen, I'm not sure how you would consider them retro?

Great retro compilations, remakes, and downloadable titles make them retro platforms in my book.

DC, SNES, and N64 in that order from most to least awesome (though the N64 is still awesome), with GEN coming in a close 4th.
