I'm with the 64, the controller i am scared to use my only good one left, I will be on the hunt for a third party one soon, but I shouldn't have to, they should have been more solid as well as much more durable sticks. On top of all the normal PAL issues, it sucks how the system can no be modded in almost any way as well as the fact PAL cant do RGB out.

I also dislike the insulation used on the Saturn controller, those wires hold the round shape for ages if you wrap the cord around your controller.

Overall I love the 64, but until I find myself a decent 3rd party controller on the cheap (superpad / Hori) I most likely wont be playing it too often.

I hate nintendo 64 games costing about $60 or more. I hate gamecube controller because of funky or small buttons. I was surprised to find out capcom did not port any of their fighting games on n64 considering the controller had a very good amount of buttons. I would have supported n64 expansion if it had lasted longer and had more games for it. I hate nintendo wii power supply compared to n64 version. I will never buy a xbox 360 because of the ring of death/scratch discs.

SNES - I'll have to change batteries in all of my battery-saved games, meaning I'll have to open up expensive RPGs to do it. I shudder at the thought of it, but I also shudder at the thought of losing my saves.

PlayStation - Since it was early 3D, many games didn't have smooth camera controls down yet, and early 3D hasn't aged well. Plus, I dislike the original controller when compared to the Dual Shock.

Excellent topic!

My fav. console is the PS2. But I really hate how a lot of the good games have framerate issues and occasional slowdown. Because then I have to look for it on the Xbox (if it was a non-exclusive), and I don't like that. I don't like having to re-buy certain games just because they run better/smoother on the Xbox.

The gamecube discs.
Which, would be fine except the fact that I keep getting 2 disc games in a generic case.

Handheld and home system...

Saturn- I wish more games had full 3D controller support, also a lot of the games are a tiny bit pricy, and a lot of the cases have been broken.

PSPgo- I love the hardware and the games, but of course it has the downfalls of any download only service, although, it is not a huge deal for me, it is for a lot of people.

Dreamcast.

Sega could've ported even more arcade games than they did.
