thaddius' Console Classic 2012 Edition: Round 7

[Gahars]

And now it's 19 votes to 20 between the PS1 and the N64. The plot thickens...

^Yes that's the problem, Guild is saying more numerous and "better" titles. Which is entirely open to debate.

But yeah, PS1 had a really nice library of good games. Both systems had their ups and downs

I mean the N64 certainly isn't terrible. It was pretty much the first video game console I played and I have some nice memories on it. It produced some excellent games (my big shout out for Perfect Dark, which is why I bought a Xbox 360) but it still completely lacked in a larger library. It had some good games but I haven't found any of them to be particularly better than PSX counterparts. I'd take Spyro 3 over Super Mario 64 any day. Crash Team Racing is loads better than Mario Kart 64. Yes, I'll choose Metal Gear Solid over Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask too.

It's not like the N64 games are bad, I've played all the ones I mentioned and found them to all be enjoyable (except Majora's Mask, blech), but they're not any better than the PSX ones, and combined with the fact that the PSX had more of it, it seems like an obvious choice.

And yes I'm debating this since that's the point of a forum.

EDIT: But yeah, if the PS2 doesn't win next round then I swear I'll lose all confidence in this forum.

And yet everything there is your own opinion. You're not even debating, you're just stating what games you like. The only thing I would really accept here is that the PS1 had more quality titles. That's almost a fact.

Facts are hard to come by in this town

Obviously the PlayStation originally had only 2 votes - it's just me and Guild with our dupes who're evening up the score.

Nope. Think again.

I applaud the member who thought to themselves: "Fuck it! I know it's not gonna win but goddammit the Sega Saturn was awesome!"

Thanks mate. Wait for the next round when I vote for the Daddy, the mighty Dreamcast, and everyone goes "WTF?????"

 

[thaddius]

Last day to vote, gals'n'guys.

Wow! Emigre may have called it when he said that this was a 'GBA' forum, but the results were still surprising!

Despite an early runaway lead from the Sony Playstation, the Nintendo 64 came from behind like a homosexual feline and took the race!

Thanks to everyone who participated this round for contributing to the most active Console Classic yet!

For those interested in the brackets, they currently stand thusly:

Join me soon in another thread as we decide who will win the next round in thaddius' Console Classic!

I may have called it? I think I clearly did call it.

I would say something about the lack of credibility of the GBAtemp community is it had any credibility in the first place.

Second time in a week emigre! That must be some cold.

and to make sure I'm ontopic:
I am honestly suprised. I just don't understand how N64>PS1.

 

[emigre]

No that was a typo. I've got my mind on looking for a particular pr0n movie.

*slow clap* GBATemp, you will never cease to disappoint me with your bias in favour of Nintendo. It's one thing to support your beloved company in a fair fight, completely another to be deluded when the "opposing" company mopped the floor with your console in a given generation. With over 2000 more games released and 100 million of sold units more then the N64, among many other advantages, the PSX deserved a spectacular victory.

Now all I need to completely lose faith in you people is the GameCube crushing the PS2 in the next Console War, I can barely wait.

Foxi, post a picture of your Nintendo consoles to prevent any accusation of bias.

I'm currently thinking of expanding my collection of Nintendo consoles so I'd rather not. I don't want to send something outdated.

Don't give in to peer pressure!

I found some delicious deals, including a SNES in mint condition with two controllers for... wait for it... $7 (dumbass seller is dumbass) but then I thought "damn... I'd have to break my wallet and pay a $100 for a flashcart for it..." and immediatelly reconsidered. Now I'm eyeballing a GBA SP - never had one of those, I only have the classic.

Then again, there's the N-Gage... god, I loved my N-Gage... *sniffles, shakes fist at the thief who snatched it while I slept during a camping trip* Whoever you are, I hope you choked on it!

Last year i paid £90 for a GBA SP AGS101....not sure if it was worth it but they're pretty damn tough to get hold of in the UK.
