Famicom, Dreamcast, and Saturn are probably my favorites name-wise.

I also love "Neo Geo" but that's more of a hardware family than one console.

Shadow Complex. Torchlight, Marlow Briggs, and Mark of the Ninja are console exclusive to it. Dust: An Elysian Tail has a PS4 version now, but prior to that it was console exclusive to 360. For a few anyway.

I know at one point 'Splosion Man was exclusive. And it is awesome.

Awesome! Thank you. I also found out that Bastion is console-exclusive to it; so, I may download that as well.

Thanks! I will probably pick that up with the Limbo/Trials HD/'Splosion Man disc.

With regard to computer/console names, I think that the best were delivered by off-grand electronics manufacturers:

Bandai - Pippin
Casio - Loopy
Emerson - Arcadia 2001
Fairchild - Channel F
Sinclair - ZX81
Sharp - X68000

That said, the king of all names is:
Wonderswan
It simply does not get better than that.

The best name in gaming doesn't belong to a console, it belongs to...

I kinda dig the names Intellivision and ColecoVision, mainly due to how amazingly dated and "retro" they sound.
