I leave the Wii U off this list only because it's still in the middle of its life span. I don't feel like I can properly look back on my time with something while it's still modern, and with so many upcoming games that I'm looking forward to, its hypothetical place on my list might change depending on those games.
My game library ranges from Mario Kart to Call of Duty to Tales of Xillia to Diablo 3 to Forza. To me gaming is about having fun - not blindly supporting only one company while thumbing your nose at "the evil other systems."
Metroid Prime 3(When set to advanced), elebits, silent hill: Shattered Memories, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Wario Ware Smooth moves, Zack & Wiki, Super Mario galaxy 1&2, Excitebots trick racing, Wario Land Shake it, Wii Sports Resort including the other 'Wii' series, Zelda Skyward Sword and many others used the Wii pointer/motion/shake controls brilliantly.
As much as I love Wario Land Shake It, the shake controls never felt more than a cheap gimmick in that game. It migth as well have had a shake button instead of actually moving the controller.

Haha, I knew I'd get beef from you by putting the NES and Wii last! As I wrote it, a thought-bubble of you with a disapproving look appeared above my head Oh Wavey I'm so sorry, please forgive me. As I say, it's not really through any fault of their own, but in such a list something has to come last, no matter how good it is. It does seem ridiculous to put the NES so low (though I wasn't the only one), I shocked myself, it seemed kind of wrong, but I guess I just have preferred most of the home consoles that they've done since. I mean, if I had to be stranded on a desert island with either a NES or a GameCube for example, I'd probably go for GameCube (because then I could have Animal Crossing and play NES games anyway... Ha! I was cheating all along! You're stuck on your island with just a NES!) As for the Wii, it's true I'm not a big fan of motion controls (pointer controls however I have no beef with. They can be very handy). There are aspects of the Wii that I love, many of which you mentioned (its philosophy of simplicity and accessibility, the revival of 2D platformers, WiiWare, VC, the Wii Shop Channel theme tune). But I guess it is my least favorite out of the 6 because I wasn't hugely keen on the controller.
1. Nintendo DS - Metroid Prime Hunters
2. Wii - Xenoblade Chronicles, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Other M, Super Mario Galaxy
3. Gamecube - Super Smash Brothers Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine
4. Gameboy Advance - Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, Metroid Zero Mission, Pokémon Sapphire
5. Wii U - Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
6. Nintendo 3DS - Super Mario 3D Land, A Link Between Worlds, Super Smash Brothers 3DS
7. Gameboy - Super Mario Land 2, Pokémon Blue
8. Nintendo 64 - Super Mario 64
1. GameBoy - I got it before I can remember, and even though I only had Tetris, Super Mario Land 2, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Gold, it was awesome!
2. Wii U - Until the Wii U I only played the Pokémon and Mario series, and with the Wii U I finally discovered lots of old classics through the VC and I also learned to enjoy other franchises.
3. Nintendo DS - Super Mario 64 DS and the Pokémon series.
4. Nintendo 64 - I only really played Super Mario 64 on this console, as well as Mario Kart.
5. Nintendo 3DS - The Pokémon series, and the Mario games. This console also introduced me to the Zelda series.
6. GameBoy Advance - The Pokémon series and Mario Kart Super Circuit.
7. GameCube - Mario Kart: Double Dash. My favorite in the series, but the only game I ever played on the console.
8. Wii - Mario Kart Wii, Need for Speed: Carbon. Yeah, none of these games are favorites of mine, so not too strange that this is at the bottom.
Although, if I were to arrange the list based on which console had most of mye favorite games today, it would be quite different.
1. 3DS
2. SNES
3. DS
4. Wii U
5. Wii
6. Gamecube
7. Game Boy Pocket
8. Nintendo 64
I have a couple thousand hours logged on my 3DS, which is incredible considering that I don't game nearly as much as I used to these days. SNES might always be my favorite Nintendo console, as it was a foundation of my childhood. Even today, I still play the fantastic library through Wii/Wii U VC. The kids groan when I suggest playing SMK instead of MK8, but they'll see the light. The next three are very close and probably interchangeable depending on my mood.
Gamecube is a good console, but very easily below the DS/U/Wii for me. N64 easily takes the bottom of the list, and the only games I had for the Game Boy were Pokemon RBY. There was hardly a reason to play a N64 in 1996, let alone 2015.
0. The Gameboy becuase from day one it was designed with 2d in mind, could pull of some 3d tricks. Was colored from day one in the developers corner. Gameboy Color was already from day one but it was expensive. It proves the Gameboy was perfected beyond the NES. It even have SNES graphics. Also the carts are an decent size. God only knows why Nintendo made the smaller cart sizes for the GBA.
0.1 The GBA. It was more powerful then the SNES but it took over many years to produce and had Sonic on it for an change. Yes the screen is small, yes their are problems but if this game system was release instead of the NES back in 1984 it would have reigned supreme.
Asking yourself is the GBA better then the SNES in terms of animated sprites in RPG. The answer is no becuase little love is for this game system.
1. Nintendo: because they had the Aladdin, Sound-chips, and other add-ons that proved it could have been enhanced including "Super Gameboy".
2. SNES - because you can never beat that original SNES sound at all. Along with Mode 7, and many per-renderd games. Yes the SNES sucks at 2d graphics compared to the PCE and even SEGA but on an regular TV with the colors on high and sound very loud the game system looks and sounds fantastic. The only reason why this is second is because the NES can do everything the SNES did but never did.
3. N64 which proved the system was only an enhancement for the SNES lack of 3d enhancement chips. "Sin and Punishment" also shows off the true power of this system along with the late PC versions of Megaman Legends and Resident Evil 2 with video compression. The N64 proved why cartridges had to go because of lack of space for FMV and MP3 music.
4, GCN. I mean this was what the N64 should have and could have been. Personally the GCN has shown the CDs do take an longer time to load and CD's can lead to many malfunctioning issues. The only thing on this that is worth playing is PSO1+PSO2 which were later ported to PC via Blue_Burst which is only 480MB in size ( BB download at the time ). I miss PSO and all the people I interacted with all over the world. Even the ball-room and running around with strangers, including Japanese servers which was fun. I COLLECTED ALL THE ITEMS TWICE DAG NABBIT
5. Virtual boy--- what could I say. Why did anybody at Nintendo ever made this thing. It is too cartooney and looney to think about. Nintendo tried to bring the "Oculus" affect to people faster then before but everything on the VB could have ran on the SNES.
6. Wii - is just and GCN with slightly more power. Everything the Wii could do the GCN could do.
7. WiiU - same idea just faster speeds more openess of emulation and that is about it. The WiiU is sooo backwards that pulling an USB out will cause the game system to freeze in some instances. Then their was the controller bs. This is worst then the SNES or even NES. Even the N64 had more A.I. function compared to the Wii-U.
N64 - Awesome library, 3D platforming galore, many series were born or taken to the next level on this system, lots of classics that people still enjoy today either in N64, Virtual Console or 3DS form.
3DS - Spectacular library, not overly pixilated like DS, 3D is awesome, online actually works for things other than Animal Crossing, downloadable games of all sorts are 10,000 times better than before, region free for DS games! Fixed a lot of the horrific touch/stylus controls by giving us the circle pad.
WiiU - HD Nintendo, great first party library, AAA+++ virtual console selection that's only getting better, Bayonetta, somehow been the most fun I've had (other than with my 3DS) on a Nintendo system in ages.
GameCube - really good third party games, brought more color and life to game series that originated on the N64, brought out even more series we cherish today such as Pikmin, Animal Crossing (for the West), and spawned the GCN controller which is pretty okay.
GB - Fun stuff yeaaaaahhh, easy to control, great games, Links Awakening, lasted forever.
Wii - Pretty okay, motion controls (but not always pls), Twilight Princess wow yes, massive library, Wii money floats us through WiiU disaster, really cheap stuff so games for everyone!! I do not like how everything went from 3D gaming to the "retro" 2D crap again, Rayman went from a serious nature to a goofy silly derp nature which was a disappoint. Yay DK returns. Wii Fit is cool.
GBA - Just a GB again imo, had some really good exclusives but then some blah ones, everything plays the same after a while. Connected to GameCube + eReader which were cool cause it was the way I experienced some NES games for the first time as well as doing that Animal Crossing stuff.
DS - No. I do not like your touch controls. Mario 64DS = projectile vomit on your shag carpet. Everything looks like SNES and N64 tried to have a child and this is what came out. System always looked and felt too plasticy and cheap after the original one. I liked the LoZ games kinda for it though. 999.
