[NeverGoBak]

1. DS

I think you're the first one other than me to pick that first, cool. I love that thing.

Not that I'm being a jerk when I say this, I'm truly curious because I can't find much I want for the thing. Can you give me a list of what you consider good on it?

This is basically all I'm interested in that I know of, most of which I already own:

-Castlevania games
-Contra 4
-The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
-Mega Man Zero Collection
-Metroid Prime: Hunters
-New Super Mario Bros.
-Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
-Scribblenauts & Super Scribblenauts

I'd recommend the Phoenix Wright series, although it's not for everyone.

I was just going to say that! I love those games.

The Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy remakes were enjoyable to me.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was also cool.

Mario Kart should have been on that list. Tetris DS was also done really well.

Another Phoenix Wright fan here! If you enjoy PnC Adventure games to any capacity, then you will love this series. Also, I will never miss an opportunity to praise the obligatory import rhythm game, "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!". Inspired gameplay, memorable songs, brutal difficulty, and precise controls. Everything a great rhythm game should be. Finally, give the Professor Layton series a try. I would go so far as to call them the greatest educational games ever created, in that they pass themselves off as such, but in reality hold legitimately deep and interesting stories, puzzles, and characters. Finally, there is Mario Kart DS. This is the one game that every DS owner should have, and is likely the best in the series. Tight controls, fun multiplayer, lots of tracks and characters, and catchy music. This is probably the most-played game on my DS, and I don't regret a second of it.

1) SNES
2)N64
3)Famicom(nes)
4)PSX
5)360
6)Neo Geo
7)Dreamcast

I am not sure if I should put the Dreamcast in there. I used to love the dreamcast but lately I lost taste for it, maybe there is just too many games that shadows the Dreamcast library. Or games now are so advanced that they out perform Dreamcast, or that Dreamcast has almost no exclusives?!

top 10 is a lot though.
I don't have much love for Sega because I never owned any sega consoles, I must say Genesis was not bad at all...but next to the SNES?
am sorry, SNES is in a different level!

1) oXbox - this beat out the number 2 system by a hair basically due to Xbox Live.

2) NES - my entire childhood is wrapped up in this system.

3) Saturn - with the dawn of online play and some of the best imports ever.

4) Xbox 360 - adding to another gen of great games, defining online gaming, plus XBLA.

5) GBA SP - best handheld ever and first with recharge battery.

6) Dreamcast - the future of gaming even in 2011

7) DS Lite - beat out the DS Phat because of its design.

8 ) Gamecube - Best first party title system released thus far plus GB Player.

9) Gameboy Micro - improved on the GBA in everyway

10) Neo Geo AES - would be in top five if I could ever afford one or any games.

[coastercrazy10]

1) PS2
2) SNES
3) Saturn
4) N64
5) Original Game Boy
6) NES
7) Dream Cast
8) PS3
9) oXbox
10) PS1

Yeah I know, a lot of Sony love. Their consoles are just RPG and platforming heaven.

Edit:

My top 10 are being judged by the amount of top quality exclusive games, not the console itself, here it goes:

4 - Xbox 360
10 - Playstation 3

Just curious, why 360 over PS3? If you're basing this on import shmups then disregard this, but strictly speaking NTSC-U there are about 4-5 series of games that are worth owning on 360 and that doesn't seem solid enough to put it at #4, especially when you put it above the PS2 with J&D, R&C, Dark Cloud 1&2, castlevanias, devil may crys, god of war 1&2, final fantasy X&XII, etc. etc. Leaving out JRPGs for both systems since they're both plentiful. Not to mention Uncharted, R&C, LittleBigPlanet, MGS4, Infamous 1&2, GT5, 3D Dot Game Heroes, valkyria chronicles, etc. etc. for PS3...

I don't mean to flame or be nitpicky, I just think the 360 is way above where it fits based on your criteria (again if you're counting shmup imports I concede that they drastically improve the 360 library, but the PS2 has a pretty solid selection of shmups in its own right). And yes based on my list I'm sure you will think I'm a fanboy, but disregard that please. I'm honestly just curious about the 360 placement.

"Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!". [...] brutal difficulty,

Nah, I find it to be a pretty easy game. I didn't have any problems with it, and this was before I played any other musical game.
