Topic: NES, SNES or N64 ?

The question might seems a joke but which console would you buy if you had to choose between those 3 great consoles. I am looking to buy a retro console but I don't which one to pick because they are so great. thx for your replies.

Might want to try asking in this thread here

That would be the best place to ask and it's stickied so that people will see it.

Not an easy choice as the Nes, Snes, N64 are great consoles, but I would have to go with the N64 because I really like 3D platformers.

SNES easily for me. Great mix of platformers, JRPG's and Action RPG's And the games still look great today.

SNES. Best console of all time.

N64 for multi-player, single-player, etc.

I never really used the NES or the SNES, but I loved our N64 a lot.

Hours and hours of pokemon and harvest moon and mario party.

The N64. Easy answer for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the other consoles, I just prefer the N64. I have the best memories with that system.

N64. Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, Paper Mario, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Stadium, StarFox 64, 007, Turok, etc. Just awesome.

NES.

Why, the SNES,

Get a SNES and an NES adapter (Like this: http://www.amazon.com/RetroPORT-Adapter-RETROBIT-Nintendo-Ent... ).

Whatever the question, SNES is the answer. Super Mario World/Allstars, Super Metroid, Super Castlevania, Super Bomberman....there's even some great games that don't start with "Super" like Turtles In Time. I vote NES second place, N64 was fun while it lasted but the analog stick was disappointing. Mine always seemed to get loose really quickly.

I would never take the NES. (Could have been much better if more stuff used the same mapper chip as Castlevania III).

I was around during the NES period the home consoles were what people had but the Arcades were what people wanted.

Best 8 bit is the PC Engine by miles. (Has better version of most of the NES games I would otherwise have been interested in).

16 bit - All of them are great. If computers are included then it would have to be the X68000 though. It has the best arcade perfect versions of everything on it.

N64. Had some of the best games of all time. SNES is a close second.

it sure in green hell isnt the n64.

I'm thinking about selling my NES and SNES along with all my CIB's for a N64 and the complete library. From what I here it is quite the bee's knees.

Although I probably spent more time playing my N64 (WCW/WWF games, Goldeneye, Mario Golf), the SNES has some of my favourite games and a larger library of great titles. The old 16-bit graphics still look good today, and the controllers are much more durable. Plus there were more SNES consoles out there, so it's far easier to find the games you want.

Yeah, its a real shame that system only had two stellar games on it: "Super Mario 64" and "Ocarina of Time".
