My first was SNES, shortly after they came out, I'd played alot on NES bit bother bother to get one because I had a Commodore 64 with over 1000 games.

Then got GB, N64 and GC. All pretty soon after release, in fact the GB was trade only Preveiw before they were in the shops.

Not interested in GBA, don't like the screen, or the old games converted, (obviously they are some of the best games ever, but I've played them all to death years ago). I also can't stand THPS on the tiny screen, impossible to play properly, IMO).

All have had stunning games, MARIO 64 is all time favourite.

Very hard to pick a favourite console?

Opininons Please?

2. Playstation
3. Game Boy Color
3. Nintendo 64
4. Game Boy Advance
5. Playstation 2

Favourite? Ooh.. it's a tough call. Probably one out of the Playstation, Nintendo 64 and GameCube. Can't decide though, all fantastic.

The first Nintendo console I owned was the Nes. I bought it with Super Mario Bros. ;-) Also grabbed the likes of Gyromite (remember R.O.B the robot ?) and Duck Hunt.

My favourite game on the NES was Super Mario Bros 3.

I've also owned....
SNES - favourite game on that was Secret Of Mana.

Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance - favourite game on those was Pokemon.

N64 - favourite game was either Conker's Bad Fur Day or F-Zero X.

And now I have the Gamecube and I'll be picking up the Gameboy Advance SP.

Overall my favourite Ninty console is probably the SNES as it gave so many great gaming memories and offered some of the best games ever !
With the exception of the NES, I bought all the consoles on their release dates (with the GC being bought twice).

The Gamecube has potential to catch up with the SNES as my favourite Ninty console as it looks to be getting some great little games from Nintendo - including updates of some of my all time favourites.

Both are classic.

I was gonna say it's interesting, everyone seems to have a lot of 'History' which is good, not just recent GC owners.
