SNES for sure.  The N64 was awesome, but it's limited library held it back a little bit.  Plus, it didn't have any of the awesome RPGs or the Mega Man X series to help it along.

I have owned SNES, N64, Gamecube and WII. I missed the NES due to impossibility to afford it when I was a child. I played it a lot in friends' houses though. The first one that my parents could afford was the SNES. And Super Mario World just because of that (and because is a f**king awesome game) pretty much wins this competition by itself, not to forget Zelda: A Link to the past, SSFII, MK2, and the million other games I can't remember now. But N64 had Zelda: Ocarina of Time. SNES wins by a hair.

As great as the NES and the N64 were (and Ocarina of time pretty much ties the score), the SNES wins. Too much greatness.

Was it one of those ones where the difference between pong and hockey was that for hockey, you hung net-shaped stencils on your tv set?  The same thing for the soccer version?  Color difference? Or just a few more pixels on the screen to act as goal posts? LOL

Oh, I saw it alright, but backwards compatibility is kinda like ...  cheating. Wink Plus RE4 was released on GC originally. Seriously though, vote for whatever floats your boat. 

As for me, I started gaming on the NES as a wee lad so I should have probably voted for that, but then again I'm not the kind of nostalgic person that Nintendo capitalizes on. Ultimately I went with the N64 and solely for all it's done for 3D (not stereoscopic) gaming, which is a good dimension. Also being the last innovative thing they've done.

Yes I did know that. They were formed as a card playing company in 1889 and Nintendo roughly translated to English means "leave luck to heaven."

Being able to play my favorite games from 5 other systems + its own games (and the Wii does have a few good ones, RE4 and No More Heroes for example) makes the Wii the victor.

SNES followed by NES with nothing else even remotely close.
