• Top 10 Gaming Consoles of All Time

  The home based video game system has been the greatest signifier for what a “nerd” is. What would a nerd be without home video game systems? From the next gen systems of today, to the video game systems of yesteryear which collect dust over time only to be undusted when the urge comes to replay Zelda 1 for Nintendo. The nerd who is usually considered to be socially inept because of his insistence in staying indoors playing video games all day doesn’t hit at the deeper reasons for the nerd’s disposition. The video game system for the nerd is a place to escape the banality of what consists of much of the real world, into dungeons with 8 horned dragons spewing fireballs at them. This phenomena is not because of social ineptness, but because of a want for a world with much more variety, and much more creativity. The nerd wants to go on epic adventures every day where the world is on the line and it is up to them and their friends to save it. As they are not offered this chance in the real world, they find their solace with the advent of the home gaming system revolution. These next systems are the best that the home video game platform has had to offer. Many memorable games have been titles for these systems, and this is the most important factor for us in choosing what the best video game systems have been.

  10. Intellivision

  Up from the depths of Pong rose a phoenix, her wings were blazing 16 button controllers and a metallic disc at the bottom. Unused, those wings, coiled wires and all, could be gracefully tucked into its body as a svelte 12 inch by 24 inch box. The interchangeable heads were wedge shaped cartridges, with faces blazing in monochrome glory, reading titles that conveyed a sophistication and an elegance never seen before in a pixilated perfection that had me and my father mesmerized for hours at a time. The first generation games were incredible classics like Burger Time, Frogger, and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (released in coloured series WAY before Pokemon, the best of which was blue). Slide the game specific plastic sheet that came with each game into the controller and the twelve numbered buttons are now perfectly labeled, taking away the need to memorize what each button does. Do you really need 17 total buttons to play all of these early games? With games like Tank Armada and B52 BOOOOOOOOMBER allowing several views, guns, controls, and gauges to follow you’ll wish you had 17 more.

  9. Gamecube

  Gamecube was a big deal for Nintendo even though it was the 4th installment in the Nintendo series for home platform system. It was a massive leap from the N64 in graphics, but most importantly in the quality of games that were released for it. Mario Kart Double Dash would prove to be arguably the best racing game ever released, utilizing the quick screen movement and sheer depth of the Gamecube graphic technology. Metroid Prime brought the Metroid series to a place it had never been before with it’s 3d shooter style. While it was initially uncertain whether Metroid would make this leap, it was later certain when one realized that plot and substance need not be sacrificed in a 3rd shooter. Gamecube was a system that was equally great in graphics, games, and multi-player action. It’s hard to think of system more conducive to multi-player action than the Gamecube. Mario Golf was another multi-player game for the system that was addicting to the point of obsession (I.E. playing the game ever night until 5 in the morning knowing you have to wake up in 3 hours for a class). Play Mario Party for an hour and you would be playing it for months. Inherent in the system were 4 controller ports and disk save inputs making the password and cartridge saving methods obsolete. Simply put, Gamecube was yet another success for the Nintendo dynasty that combined the 2 most essential aspects of gaming together as they always consistently have. These 2 most essential aspects are simplicity and great games.

  8. Xbox

  It’s a testament to how great the Xbox is, that someone who hates Mircrosoft as much as I do has put its first gaming console onto our top 10 best gaming systems of all time list. The predecessor to the much heralded Xbox 360, the original Xbox seemed to have it all: with built-in support for high-speed networking, an 8GB hard drive, DVD playback capabilities, and display support for HDTVs, the Xbox did much more than just play games. But nonetheless, it was the games that made the Xbox great, and the two games that stand out above all others are, of course, Halo 1 and 2. One needs no other reason to buy an Xbox than Halo: Combat Evolved. Arguably the greatest first person shooter game ever made, the game was almost universally loved by critics and gamers alike, and propelled Microsoft to the forefront of the gaming console war. Add to this, games such as Madden NFL 08, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Fable, and against all expectations, the Xbox competed on equal footing with the Playstation 2 and Gamecube. Not only that, but in many ways, the Xbox was even superior to the Playstation and Gamecube (unlike the Playstation 1 and Gamcube the Xbox was actually able to play DVDs). Despite being yet another way of Microsoft invading the living rooms of the world, the Xbox has stood the test of time as a truly great gaming system.

  7. Playstation 2

  Playstation 2 was a strong successor to one of the greatest systems of all time in Playstation 1. Little did anyone know that Playstation 2 would outsell Playstation 1 and become the best selling video game console to date, even out-selling the original Nintendo. Released in 2000, this system incorporated games that were widely popular beyond the video game market, into popular culture itself. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas became one of the most popular titles of all time for any video game system. Having a place for people to let out their criminal intent proved to be a successful event for the Playstation 2. Playstation 2 also had a vast amount of titles to go beyond their most successful titles ranging from all the games you could play in a video game market. Whether you wanted to play the best racing games, sports games, adventure games, or arcade games, Playstation succeeded in all different styles flawlessly. On the PS2 you can find Guitar Hero, FIFA Soccer, every SIM game you can imagine, all in the slim tightly packed hardware format that you could put into a laptop bag and bring anywhere you wanted. Add on the first successful system to connect to the internet to play people from different countries or just your friends and dolby digital audio with 3d graphics, and you have the salient coming-of-age video game system. It has everything for anyone who ever wanted to escape the real world into the fluid fictions of the video game world.

  6. Gameboy

  Gameboy was the first hand held game system for the home video game market, and it was also the best. The games that could be played on this black and white machine were incredible. “Links Awakening” was a beast of a video game, encompassing the largeness of what the Zelda series was known for. Metroid 2 not only epitomized all the greatness of the former Metroid, but also added in a ton of new weapons, enemies and areas itself that took place on the massive SR388. This was the biggest surprise with the Gameboy system, that something this small could have adventure games as large as they did. Along with the success of the adventure games for the system, there was also the more simple puzzle games like Tetris which was perhaps the most played Tetris for any system. The convenience and portability of being able to play Tetris anywhere at anytime proved to be the best thing to happen to the Russian creation. Beyond the actual superlatives of the video games themselves, were the utter ease of the controls which included a simple direction pad, a select and start button, and an A and B button. This simplicity matched the size convenience of the machine that never skimped on the quality of games. Hand held systems were made afterwards in hopes of matching the power of the first hand held game system of Gameboy. These systems would never compare to the Gameboy, even with better graphics and more incandescent colors than the Gameboy. The power of this portable hand held system then lied in the quality of games and the simplicity of the engineering, both which the Gameboy perfectly embodied.

   personally i think the wii is an ok gaming system just depends on hoe you look at it i guess. another thing is i really think that the 64 should be on the list pretty high at that it has some of the best games ive played.

   ..another thing i dont know who the hell you think you are (gorge)tlking shit about the sega and sonic but that was a damn good game and ur to much of a pussy 2 admit the truth!

   Dreamcast should be somewhere on this list. I don’t get how gamecube got on the list or Xbox. Gameboy is a handheld so it doesn’t really count. The NES should be #1.
3. #3 WTF MOFO??? says:
   November 20th, 2009 at 10:40 pm

   Are you fucking serious no handheld game is better than a system. And are you like 80 years old the new systems are better than old ones. thats why the super nintemdo whateever system is not being sold any more

   WTF MOFO???

   WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK?!?!?!?!Wii should be 1 you put 2 old gaming consoles but true they are kinda good but the order of the wii,NES&SNES should have been like this 3.NES 2.SNES 1.Wii Anyways the Wii should be the top gaming console and should be beating the 360&PS3 Wii is coming 2nd wich is kinda sad because just like SEGA one of the companies would have to leave and the 360 isn’t so much of a big console.

   I don’t see PS3, what’s going on? There is not even mention of XBOX 360, but you include Nintendo Wii?! I agree with some of the coments about ‘Genesis’ being included. I remember it was popular enough, even though it wasn’t as good as Super Nintendo. Gameboy? Maybe #11, but I would have rather seen PS3, or even XBOX 360, rated.

   This is so gay. Where is the 360??? I think that the Wii is much worse than the 360.

   lol notice how the nintendo r all top notch its cuz they r original coming up with ideas not even thought of as possible like comon who ever thought that moving ur hand (with the controller in it) will move ur character in the game that is the reason that nintendo systems r top sony n microsoft all they do is think inside the box nintendo rips the box open although i agree completely that 360 has greatest game line up and there is no beating the sony’s graphics now only if u culd put all that into 1 and make the ultimate experience with good ideas great graphics and excellent games that wuld impress me

   wow. get one. How come old men always make things like this?SNES being #1???? ok. first.eliminate all Nintendo consoles except for Wii because it has backwards compatibility with VC. and Where did the Intelli”vision” and Coleco” and ‘2600 come from? sentence number two quote: OLD MAN.I’m sorry if you are one. and Ps1 should not be on. Ps2 should be #1, Wii#2. are those the only decent console out there? Ya, I think so.lesson learned today.

    Er, where’s the Dreamcast? I literally scanned the list three times to double check if it was there.

    Old Wizard = epic fail.

    I have to disagree on the reason for the xbox, while the xbox is great halo was not a great game, nore was 2 or 3. They are very lazy and kinda bland. There is nothing great about those games aside from the degree of which it’s stuck up its own ass.
14. #14 IamFearLezz says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    I can’t believe it! No N64?! There simply isn’t any greater console than Nintendo 64. They’ve made greater games than all of the other consoles (except nintendo) put together. If you don’t put an N64 on a list, you simply aren’t worthy of calling yourself a gamer. Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are just one of many, but are considered to be the best games of all time. I can’t disagree..

    Sorry but the PS2’s library towers over the NES & the WII’s.

    I don’t care how many Wii’s are selling and how it’s made gamers out of housewives and grandmas, the PS2 was a powerhouse with excellent games coming out even in the last 2 years.

    The Gameboy should be replaced with the GBA SP which really brought 16 bit level gaming to a portable. All the great SNES ports and originals made this system shine. Color, portability, better battery life, stylish design, and a light > heavy, clunky, monochromatic GB. Even the DS in it’s short time has overshadowed both.
18. #18 Relayer71 says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 1:55 am

    And the Intellivision and 2600 but NO Sega systems???

    The Genesis should have been there, or at least the DC which in it’s short time amassed a decent library of AAA games.

    Out of curiosity, where is the N64 on this list?
20. #20 Adam says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    I agree, I can’t believe the N 64 didn’t even make the list. Super smash bros. Mario Cart, Mario 64. N 64 was awesome (I’m not saying it should be number one, but it could at least make the list).

    I still have a N 64 it is tight

26. #26 avi says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 11:40 am

    how can u call urself nintendo fanboys when N64 didn’t make the list AND Kirby didn’t make ur top 10 gaming heroes. also BLEEP do u own a GC. no 360 cause graphics don’t make the game. I can only name 3 good games that are 360 exclusive, not counting games at E3 this year. they are:cod4, bioshock and dead rising. no I don’t consider halo 3 a good game cause I don’t like FPS’s very much yes I know that i had cod4 and bioshock some fps’s i like but most of them i don’t. same for the ps3, little big planet, gow3, and mgs4. ridge racer is a port so it is not technically exclusive. I really don’t like sandbox games or racing games very much. the wii is a really good system and if u say if i don’t like racers then i must not like mario kart cause it’s a racing game, well i do like mario kart, i don’t like gran turismo and realistic stuff.
27. #27 avi says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 11:45 am

    also, the f’in VIRTUAL BOY had more good games than XBox or Intellivision and therefore VB was better than XBox. friggin SEGA CD had more good games than Intellivision. XBox had Halo 2 Jet Set Radio Future and what else? Intellivision didn’t have ANY good games.

30. #30 bomberman says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 5:31 am

    people are sayin y is the wii there and not the 360. its because the 360 isnt that revolutionary and it is pretty average for right now. the problem for the newer consoles almost everything has been done. the wii is there because it broke away from the origonal contoller and started using motion technology. 360 maby should of made it because of its online capabilities, but people could do that on their computers already.
31. #31 chris says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 3:16 am

    P.S.P.S. N64 should be ranked above the wii because it came out with like alot of the games being used today. Did you all forget smash bros came out on the 64 first?! what about wii tennis, and golf, and every fucking game on the wii? Where was the first super mario world? Thank you for your time.

    the Xbox 360 is the worst system ever made. I have played alot of game systems and even the wii is better than the 360 and its a white piece of shit. The ps3 sucks too. The best systems are the PS2 and the N64. You young kids out there you grew up with the 360 and think its the best system ever but its not it sucks. If you can just grow up and dont care about the graphics and you give it a try you will find them to be amazing.

    November 20th, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    NES,SNES & SONY PS1 are the best video game consoles of all time!They have the richest game libraries ever!Best series!
    THE SERIES:
    Castlevania
    Gran Turismo
    Mario
    Resident Evil
    Metroid
    Tomb Raider
    Final Fantasy
    Need for Speed
    Zelda
    Donkey Kong
    Contra
    Chrono Series
    Silent Hill
    F-Zero
    Wipeout
    Metal Gear/Solid
    Mega Man
    ….
    etc.etc

    F*ck all those people who say that N64 is the best or PS3 or WII or what the heck!
    Donkey Kong Country is way better that DKC 64
    Super Mario World is Better than Super Mario 64
    Super Castlevania 4 & Symphony of the Night are the best in series,while Castlevania 64 is garbage.
    The N64 has no Contra game
    The N64 has no Metroid game
    Mario 64 gets borring after 1 week of playing.
    The PS3 is boring,it has unbeliveable graphics but these aren’t video game consoles anymore,they are just reality consoles.Why do we play video games?To evade from this 3d,real world into a virtual world where we can have fun.Why should i play Metal Gear Solid 4?I prefer to a movie The Matrix or Batman-The Dark Knight rather.Why should i play Gran Turismo 5?I’d better go watch Formula 1 or Nascar at TV or Drive a real car on the highway.
    Resident Evil 5 is a joke,it’s not a video-game.Only a fool would buy that game…etc
    The WII just tries to re-boot classis games that on this system suck,that’s what the WII does.Few games made on the WII are original & ground-breaking.An example that i have in my head in Super Mario Galaxy etc
    The Xbox360 has that Red-ring of death that can occur anytime.Games like Brutal Legend & most of the games are kitsch etc
    The PSP is the most boring game system ever created!I played Tekken 5-Dark Ressurection & other stuff & felt no addiction,nothing.I was wasting my time.
    The only Ground-breaking games of Dreamcast are Craxy Taxi,Shenmue,Skies of Arcadia,Phantasy Star On-line & that’s it.SoulCalibur started on PS1 with Soul-Blade.They only thing they did is to refine Soul-Blade & call it SoulCalibur.Tomb Raider 4 is miserable compared to the PS1 version.Rayman 2 appeared on the PS1.They just ported it.The only difference is that it has better graphics.
    The Atari2600 brought the banckrupcy of the video-game industry.
    The only ground-breaking game that the original XBOX had was Halo-Combat Evolved.This is probably the worst video game console ever made!Oh,& Half-Life pawns Halo in every aspect.
    The only groundbreaking games on the GameCube were Resident Evil 4,Metroid Prime & Zelda-The Wind Waker & Twilight Princess
    Let’s clarify the sitution,the status of N64.First of all,this system is 100% for kids-no adults allowed while NES,SNES & PS1 are for all ages
    In Oot,for me it’s frustrating that i can’t jump.I don’t have total freedom,i feel like i’m bound to Earth.You jump only automatically
    I feel that a Link to the Past is better.you can never get bored.Here,you have to travel a lot,wasting time.In ALTP the distances are short
    The camera in Super Mario 64 is annoying making Super Mario World a better game.
    It’s true that the N64 has games like Perfect Dark,Goldeneye 007 but the SNES has…omg!Super Metroid,Chrono Trigger,Final Fantasy 2 & 3,Yoshis Island,Contra 3,TMNT 4,Battletoads,ActRaiser,Alladin,Prince of Persia-this games simply can’t be beaten be the N64 games.
    The PS1 has Resident Evil,Tomb Raider,Gran Turismo,Tekken,Chrono Cross,Mortal Kombat,MediEvil,Jumping Flash..oh,Jumping Flash is before Mario 64 so shut up!…Croc,Spyro the Dragon,Crash Bandicoot,…look how many platformers it has.The only remarkable platformers that the N64 has are Banjo & Kazooie,Mario 64,Zelda &…that’s it!The PS1 has survival horror games,Silent Hill,Alone in the Dark,Clock Tower,Dino Crises…N64 nothing because there are only games for kids.The PS1 also has the Need for Speed Series.DOOM on PS1 rocks while DOOM 64 is garbage.Red Alert 1 on PS1 is great while Starcraft 64 is poor.The PS1 also has “the” Metal Gear Solid man,MGS!It also has Alien Trilogy,Die Hard Trilogy,Tony Hawks Pro Skater,Medal of Honour,GTA 2.On PS1 you can also listen to music.The N64 controllers suck!PS1 has the best controller ever!
    The NES saved the video-game industry.It created the best series:MARIO,ZELDA,CONTRA,FINAL FANTASY,METROID,MEGA-MAN etc NES is can truly be called the Best video game console ever created.It has pure,genuine games,the true spirit of the video-games.I really feel i’m playing video games…while on PS3 others i feel like playing reality games.
    Super Mario Bros has the greatest replay value in the history of video-games!I just can’t get enough of it.I can never feel bored.I’ve finished it thousands of time & i’m becoming more & more obsessed with it.It can be easily named the greatest game of all tiME
    Oh,i forgot about Sega Genesis.Mario>Sonic
    TMNT 4>Streets of Rage 2 etc
    SNES>>>GENESIS…SNES is way better than the Gensis.

    So NES,SNES & PS1 really are the best video-game consoles of all time!
