Going with Wii. All other systems were great when they came out, the Wii was lackluster in general. I do agree that N64 specifically aged very poorly in general, but looking at the time it came out, it was very, very good.


The early 3D era ages poorly in general, but I'd argue that N64 games aged better than PSOne games


I probably agree to that. My point in general was that to answer this question best, one should judge its performance also based on the time it was released in, not how these would perform now.

SNES, weaker graphics than Genesis, mode 7 was a gimmick, best games stayed in Japan or had bad ports with messed up translation, just a mess of a system.

Hard to pick between the N64 and Wii. N64 had a few excellent games but not very many of them, a terrible controller, the visuals have aged poorly, and personally I never owned one at the time so I don't have any nostalgic memories of it. The Wii has more games that I still go back and play, but also a lot more shovelware, too many games with forced motion controls, the remote requires batteries just to select a game from the menu, and the 2008-2010 period was a horrible time to be a Nintendo fan.

Underpowered, the gimmicky controls, lack of standout games

However the Wii was important because it sold well, and got Nintendo back on track

for a long time, the wii was the only way to play light gun games on modern tvs. There are actually quite a few light gun style games released on it. That plus the GCN backwards compatibility puts it above the N64 for me personally.

Voted N64, because it has so few heavy hitters. Despite having my pick for most influential game of all time (Mario 64), the N64 does so little well overall, it is my pick from the list.

As far as games made exclusively for that console, then definitely Wii. However I love my Wii because of the classic games I downloaded on the virtual console. It makes me sick that they discontinued that service. There are still a few games I would have liked to add to my library on there.

Gamecube was a decent console. Just had the misfortune of competing with the ps2.

Ogre Battle 64 is one of my favorite games on any system, but it isn't enough to save the N64. I really did not like some of the classics though, like I've never liked SM64, even when it was new

Its the Wii, which is the reason that Nintendo is still butthurt at America. They released it and we didnt really like it. They didnt even bother to make new titles for it and third party developers wouldnt touch it. The fans basically just kind of had a this doesnt work, but if we go back to basics then we can forget about this.

Their response was to make the exact same system as our next offering, and yet its somehow our fault for not wanting to pay hundreds of dollars for another system with gimmicky controls and a crappy library?

The Wii and the Wii U are simply problematic to Nintendos game library. There was a handful of gems that were strategically made into Wii and Wii U exclusives, which they refuse to port to the Switch. Sorry, guys, but creating a new system for a game that you know people want is not good business.

People buy whatever Nintendo makes, but the customer satisfaction was lukewarm at best, and quickly turned into outrage over the nonexistent game library. Everything was either a remake or a port and the novelty of the motion control wore off after the first few games. The backwards compatibility with the GameCube was its best thing.

NES, simply for being the most outdated at this point.

Out of all the consoles listed, I've probably gotten the least value from my Switch so far, but that's partly because I misplaced the charge cable and I bought the console sooner than some of the others. (And my first game was BOTW rather than a Mario title >_> ...and I still haven't bought a lot of games because I'm waiting for a great deal.)

Not really. You could just as easily not be able to play all that stuff on it. If I was going to a desert island I would take a Wii U with the greats downloaded onto it over one of these others. It's not insignificant.

Wii is like the MCU movies. The only ones butthurt aren't the 80% of consumers that propped up the systems popularity. I.e. Hardcore gamers and comic book nerds. Nintendo knew/knows where their bread is buttered.

Also the answer to the OP is the N64.
