You must make a classic version of a console. What games do you put on it?

I would make a Portable Wii.

Nintendo already beat me to the punch with the Switch Form-Factor, so the only difference is that the Portable Wii will have all of Wii's Classic Games.

I also expect this Comment to age like Milk ...

I limited my selection of games to about 30 or slightly above 30 iirc. It's hard to limit what is a big library of great games into that while including enough representation from Sony and the other classics on the PS2!
I think the hardest part is considering (if all games have No licensing issued and are fair game) which sequels to include or not. Say, Sonic 1, 2, and 3 would be definite picks if I made a Genesis Classic, but in my GameCube list, I thought to only pick SA2 (it aged better), only one Mario Party, etc, to have better variety. I'm not sure which would please hypothetical customers more.

Yeah, that's why you only see DMC1 and DMC3 on the list, because DMC2...is DMC2:

Mostly copy paste games?
One Pokémon game (max two) would suffice. I mean, it's not that the games mechanics are so different between each. Same as Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It's nice, but non canon, so it can go.
I'd put there Final Fight One, Super Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, Super Puzzle Fighter, Mario Kart, F-Zero Maximum Velocity

Hang on...we're doing portable "consoles" as well? Move over...here comes my dream classic gameboy line-up:

1. Super Mario land
2. Super Mario land 2: 6 golden coins
3. Super Mario land 3: Wario land
4. Kirby's dream land 2
5. Tetris
6. Zelda: Link's awakening
7. Donkey kong classic
8. Metroid 2: return of Samus
9. Mole Mania
10. Castlevania 2: Belmont's revenge
11. Gargoyle's quest
12. Mega man 5
13. Final fantasy adventure (aka: Mystic quest)
14. Balloon kid
15. Mario Picross 2
16. Pokémon Blue & red
17. Bubble bobble
18. Harvest moon GB
19. Tetris attack GB
20. Dr. Mario
21. Kid Dracula
22. Parodius
23. Duck tales
24. Wario Land 2
25. RC Pro Am
26. Mega man Wily's revenge
27. Bionic commando
28. Kirby's pinball land
29. Final Fantasy legend 2
30. Yoshi's cookie

Runners-up:
Kirby's dream land
Pokémon Yellow version


Hmm...this was much tougher than I thought. I played A LOT of GB games, but I have to admit most don't really hold up today. I was about to stop at twenty, but after some digging, the last ten are hardly a step down in quality (okay...compared to 11-20, that is).
I also have to note that I haven't really played all of these games. Like...I know metroid's a classic, but I never would have picked it myself (and I still haven't played a pokémon game yet :P ). But again: this is a list based on what's essential on the system, not my personal choises.

No wonder you won that poll between you and Chary that I put up based on an idea I literally came up with 5 minutes before making it!
