It's a feature, stupids.

It's a great feature for day to day usage. For a best of thread it's a crutch because the games designed for the console aren't good enough by themselves.

Yep. It doesn’t feel in the spirit of the thread / what Reg is trying to do. As I think you mentioned before, there would be no point to the ‘competition’ cos the most backwardy compatible console would have a huge advantage.

Whilst he's tried to be me at other times (kisses) elf articulated what the goal is better than I could at this point.

Out of spite my princess deleted the DS save for Zelda. Because of this trauma and the screen scratching stylus, the Wii gets my vote.

The Wii U was perfectly understandable.

It was a 32-bit CD add-on for the mega-drive, right?

No it was the plug in cartridge on top durrrr

Yar. Games released for those consoles should = games for that console.

Shit.

In my defense that was early China years and Google was spotty.

It says on the door 'Best console' not best games. Half the Switch's library are ports.

Let me pose this another way - if a key element of your argument in favour of a console is its reliance on previous glories from an older generation, isn't that a more damning indictment on the generation it actually existed in?

Not BC, though.

Yup.

If it was the only metric, yup.

Quite.

Curious. 2 Microsoft hardware fans trying to argue to include BC. Not implying anything.

I provided my list of games released for the Wii as the reason for why I consider it superior.

The BC is just an additional feature that was only mentioned to prove a point about motion control being the only way to play certain games (which it wasn't).

As such I shall not be swayed.

Fair enough. Enjoying the discussion, tbh. Wasn't arguing against the list you provided. Different tastes, innit?

As you’ve pointed out, surely this would benefit the PS3 more than any Xbox.

Besides the whole tournament is rigged due to the exclusion of the C64GS.

Depends really,
If that console had uncharted 2 and the last of us wich are already considered two of the greatest games ever.
(the first for technical and artistic achievement and a great opening and the latter for story telling and character development.)

And then could play final fantasy 7,8 and 9 as well as the superb Gradius v up-ressed.
No other console did that before or since.

Just the one we play most weeks until we force variation that no one wants with WRECKFEST and tokenistic Sea of "it's great with friend" Thieves

FTFY.

Said this already but I'm really enjoying this thread.

I mean, sure if you like those games.

Hey, Mike I ain't forced shit. Some of us fancied a change and LIVE is a perfect conduit. Sea of Thieves has dropped off but had a fun run. No need to try and get up in my face lad.

Minnesänger

Shit. Was just poking. Nothing intended by it.

I mean, you did the winky face and everything...

Yep, I suspect Andy might be conflating some 3ds stuff here which, to be fair, Nintendo didn't help with the naming. At least they righted that ship unlike their other one.

You’re not telling me there are separate entries for DS and 3DS?

Yet no PC Engine or Gamecube or 3DO, or Atari VCS, 5200, 7800, Jaguar, Lynx, Intellivision, Colecovision, Game Gear, PSP, PS Vita, et al

I'm assuming the Megadrive includes the 32X and Mega-CD?

Minnesänger

Where is the Philips CD-i? We demand answers!

Howdy, Stranger!
