If I could choose one console from every generation I would choose the following:
1) Magnavox Odyssey
2) Atari 2600
3) NES/Famicom
4) Mega Drive
5) PSX
6) Dreamcast
7) Wii
8) Switch
9) Still undecided... leaning towards PS5.
What would your first choice be for each generation?
@gpowerf Your numbers 1 and 2 are before my time... 😁
1) Amstrad CPC 464
2) NES/Famicom (technically the same generation as the Amstrad though, I guess. 🤔
3) SNES
4) PSOne (I bought one of these because it was better looking than the original PS and had a nice solid feel to it. Aesthetically, this is probably one of my favourite consoles, closely followed by the SNES)
5) PS2 (it just had such a huge game library and R-Type Final...)
6) Wii (seemed so great at the time. I recently picked up a Wii U to more easily play my old Wii games and found that my memories of the games outshine the reality of playing them in 2023 😞 )
7) Switch all the way! I play games for escapism, so COD and all that kind of guff doesn't "float my boat". Give me bright cartoon-like worlds to explore and I'm there!
I've even gone off stuff like Gran Turismo now. My XBox One S came with Forza and I've tried to get into it a few times, but I just can't.
@petetaylor @gpowerf While Wii games may not be as good as you remember, know that playing them on Wii U give them a suboptimal picture commpared to the original console.
@Bigou @petetaylor I'm still pretty happy with the Wii's image quality today. :)
@gpowerf @petetaylor Yes, Wii games have a better image on any Wii than on a vanilla Wii U.
