Your Personal Least-favourite consoles
I just feel like getting this off my chest, I don't like the GBA. Let me give a few reasons:
- Many of the best games were SNES ports that I already owned.
- The other best games often had superior home console alternatives (e.g. Sonic Advance)
- The original version (that I bought) had a ridiculously (read: unplayable) dark screen.
- Mere months after buying my original GBA, Nintendo trolled me hard by releasing the SP.
- As if that wasn't enough I upgraded to the Micro upon its release and we all know how that turned out!
The only worthwhile games for it were Pokémon Ruby (worst gen ever) and Leaf Green (a remake)
Obviously, that's all my own personal opinion and experience and others may love the GBA.
Are there any consoles that you guys have a personal dislike for?

Probably the Intellivision. That was my first non-pong console. All of my friends had the Atari 2600 and I had the Intellivision. The games were ok but not as good as the Atari. Plus, the keypad, the wheel d-pad, and the side firing buttons weren't the best.
Another least favorite would be the Odyssey 2. Another friend had that console and the games stunk in my opinion. The joysticks weren't that good.

Re: Your Personal Least-favourite consoles
Ruby gen was not the worst gen. Pearl and Diamond were horrible. Fire Emblem games rule. FF remakes and tactics are great. Metroid fusion and all the Castlevanias are awesome. GBA was probably one of the best GameBoy's. I know this is going to be an opinion thread so...Incognito D wrote:I just feel like getting this off my chest, I don't like the GBA.

-Lack of exclusives dont like Halo very overrated shooter. Gears, Mass Effect, Left 4 Dead are on PC and valve doesnt charge for DLC for L4D
-Hate the D pad

Re: Your Personal Least-favourite consoles
There's no console I really hate, just several I have no interest in (Genesis/Saturn/Jaguar/3DO/CD-i/Atari 5200 and 7800). Of course, I know that I'm in the minority with some of those, especially the Genesis and Saturn.

Colecovision. I remember it as a kid and just wanting a NES soo fricken' bad. Got my first one 2 years ago! I think N64 would also be high on my list. I remember loving it as a kid, but when I go back and play it now, it just doesn't hold up for me. All my other systems, even older ones, give me more enjoyment.

Re: Your Personal Least-favourite consoles
Apart from the game.com, I honestly can't think of another games console that I hate or really dislike. I mean I even have a blast with a few games on the CD-i. 
I seem to find some redeeming feature in almost all gaming systems that make it worthwile for me to spend at least some time gaming on them.

Gen III was my least favorite gen as well. I hated all the surfing and not being able to avoid battles. But I think we can all agree Gen II is the best.
Also play Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.
