XBox was great last gen with the 360, but it's garbage this generation unless you're really into driving games like Forza. PS4 vs Switch is the decision you should be considering.

Overrated IMO, SNES and Gamecube were both far superior.

no and no

gamecube... one of the most trash tier consoles of all time. caused nintendo to fall so far behind they had to resort to gimmicks like the wii to stay in the game. the DS was a better console than gamecube and thats a in handheld

I see. I'm leaning towards the PS4 since I'm a huge red dead redemption fan. Probably the only game I've ever finished.

N64 had what ten good games in the library? OOT and Goldeneye were amazing but they lost so many great developers by stubbornly sticking to cartridges and top IPs like Castlevania and Earthworm Jim got complete dog games on that console. Nintendo screwed up so badly double crossing Sony.

LOL what? The N64 was what caused them to fall so far behind. They lost all their great RPGs. LOL Final Fantasy going from a Nintendo exclusive to a Sony one because Square couldn't fit the games on those cartridges. I do agree the DS was better than the Gamecube, but how is that a slight? The DS was amazing. Those Castlevania games, the Shin Megami Teseni games, New Super Mario Bros, The World Ends With You, man the DS was ing outstanding.

Yeah man can't wait for RDR2. You should check out the new Zelda game though, it'll give you some practice climbing in case the wall gets funded.

yeah, sticking to cartridges was pretty dumb. but their average quality of game was leaps and bounds ahead of gamecube.

nobody nowadays has a game night and plugs in the ing gamecube ... but people still play old-ass 64 games because they aged so much better. i dont even think its particularly close. its why nintendo 64 sold 50% more units than gamecube.

yeah, NES and SNES sold a bunch when there was a lot less compe ion in the market and in-house gaming consoles were a novelty

I'm just finishing up a link to the past on the snes classic.

[leemajors]

Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2 were outstanding.

Dude no way. Wind Waker has aged way better than Ocarina of Time and that 20 fps framerate. That game is rough to play twenty years later. You're going to tell me Goldeneye has aged better than Metroid Prime?

[TDMVPDPOY]

n64 was stupid with the gpu memory expansion, an d that dock that was only sold in japan...

some games u required to have that memory expension to play 4 players, like gauntlet legends

Damn that game still holds up. If you like it you should check A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS. I love the 3DS, it's cheap as and super easy to install custom firmware on. Plus it can play most DS games off a microSD once you put CFW on.

golden-eye is the most overrated "classic" game of all time imo. i'll give you that. the campaign is unplayable imo

Gamecube>N64

Blasphemy.

Unplayable today, sure. That campaign was amazing back in 1997.

[DJR210]

..and no gaming monitor unless you buy a PC.

[Errol Flynn]

I been out of it for a while; but what people tell me is PS4 for the hardcore gamers and X-Box for ease of use (online). Also, I'm hearing that the new Zelda is the best yet if you want to wild card it.

[spurraider21]

it hasn't aged well at all.

on the other hand, i can play super mario 64 anytime and it still plays well. same with starfox 64. and a bunch of others

[TDMVPDPOY]

i remember playing goldeneye64, couldnt play it cause kept on getting dizzyness...then tried counterstrike at the lan cafe couldnt handle it also...

goldeneye is best played with goldengun...1shot kill...
