@WaveBoy You know I can't really say I understand why even a 28 year-old would make this list. I got a Gameboy at 5, when it was 5 years old and aging. I don't go back to play it that often now due to the poor quality of the screen, but I would easily rank it above the WiiU, which I owned and enjoyed but ultimately saw as a failure, despite a strong list of exclusives that I played and factored into my judgement.
Even for someone like me that didn't play a ton of SNES before getting a PS1 and getting immersed in polygonal games, I still see it as a much stronger system than the Switch, and of course I love my Switch.
@NicolausCamp You can run many 8-bit and 16-bit videogame classics in 240p through glorious component on a late consumer CRT using a Wii. Can you do that on a WiiU?
Seriously though, WiiU had a bigger virtual console, but butchered NES, N64, and TG-16 emulation. Just about the only consoles that run quite well on WiiU VC are the SNES and GBA (which are both better on a Wii with a CRT, but that's personal opinion).
My family adopted the NES pretty late, and my parents weren't willing to upgrade my brother and I to the SNES until late 95'. That said, we treasured Kirby's Adventure for the late-generation marvel that it was, and I was baffled years later when I got my hands on another kid's copy of Kirby's Dream Land at a summer camp. No copy ability?!? I still can't stack up any of the three Dream Land titles against my time with Kirby's Adventure, and it remains one of the few shining stars in my NES collection.
