My least favorite would have to be Wii. For me, I just never got on the motion-sensing controller bandwagon. My favorite system would have to be the Super Nintendo. I bought one of those disc copying machines, so I had tons of games on those 1.44MB floppy disks.

I'm like a little ball of condensed rant, but catch me on a good day and I'll write a 20,000 word essay on why I love Final Fantasy VIII or how the Gameboy Advance SP is the best handheld device ever made etc.

As for the NES, I've not really got a problem with it as such, it just feels like it's a glutton, taking everyones time and money with it's massive 800 game library most of which is painfully awful, but there are some incredible gems. Duck Tails is one of my favourites, and the music really is so memorable, I'm not sure how they managed that. The thing with the NES is I never actually owned one myself, they where just too expensive over here. Master System games where £25, but NES games where £60-70 each (compared to PC games on the Amstrad or Commodore 64 which where £5-10 on average, and sometimes less). My good Nintendo memories start with the SNES but I get so angry about that console...

Quite possibly... maybe I've just got far too much time on my hands. When you're at home every day with nothing to do but game, discuss gaming and watch YouTube you get a little bit jaded... well I do at least. But then I suppose, it beats working at least, even if I do have to put up with multiple joint dislocations and chronic pain, at least I've plently of free time to game. :P
