why it's not breh? yaw in here saying gba is the best because you can play gbc games..... :mjpls: i could play them shyts on the psp too.
I try to judge the console or handheld on its own catalog (including backwards compatability). PSP was dope and had some gems

But by your logic, I could say that my phone is the best handheld cause I can play any pre-2000 game from any console

naw because in addition to all the emulators you still had the psp catalog.


take away the homebrew and you still got psp and ps1 games. maybe I'm in the monitory but psp and ps1 games >>>>> gba and gbc games. gba might be the only console i ever grew out of.

They peaked with the SNES, but the Wii is where I would say they fell off.

At least the GameCube had Melee, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario 2, F-Zero, and a decent selection of 3rd party gems (Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia, Soul Calibur 2, Viewtiful Joe). IMO the cube was underrated. It wasn't seeing the PS2, but that machine is still a top 3, maybe top 2 console of all time.

The wii is where they lost me, with the exception of the Mario Galaxies ( :banderas: ) They started pandering way too hard to non gamers with the Wii era IMO.

... And Smash Bros Brawl was :scusthov: outside of the modded versions.
:rudy:

Breh, the gamecube is not even a top 2 NINTENDO console of all time, let alone in the history of gaming :rudy:

As a kid the whole cartridge/ CD thing didn't bother me

But I'd have to say the GameCube , the Wii was cool but once you saw how everything was shovelware you just didn't wanna fukk with it anymore

Nintendo deserves what happened. They used to rule the industry and not only did they engineer their own demise but their hubris created the competitor that now dominates the industry. They thought they could do whatever they wanted and they could dictate how things in the industry played out and they were wrong.

I agree they've made some weird business decisions. I don't know much about the new CEO hopefully they know what they're doing. No one can deny that their games are fukking amazing though.

The minute the PS1 came out and I haven't looked back since. (Console wise, not talking handhelds)

But how is PSN by itself taking in more money than Nintendo as a whole :huhldup:

I hope Wii U's failure motivates Nintendo to address their problems. 2nd generation in a row with outdated hardware, online that's way behind competition, and still lacks 3rd party support. It's time to make some changes.
