NES for me. Also, like I said, backwards compatibility doesn't count, so no Virtual Console.

I voted for the Wii based solely off of backwards compatibility and Virtual Console


It's not illegal, it might give you some cavities

NES has SMB 3. Wii has Imagine Babyz. NES has The Legend Of Zelda. Wii has Wii Play. NES has Contra. Wii has some shitty Monster Truck game.

Many are the franchises that originated on the NES, including, of course, Mega Man.

That's gonna be my basis for every vote I cast, really.

Truth. It started the era of Nintendo's dominance. Wii wouldn't be possible without the NES.

NES has River City Ransom, Megaman 6, Kirby's Dreamland, and Dr. Mario.

Wii has Super Smash Bros. Brawl, No More Heroes, Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Seems like a tie, but the Wii also has Balls of Fury, so the NES wins.

In that case I vote for electricity. No gaming would be possible without it.

Are we going to base our vote on the merits of the consoles themselves? Or what came afterward because it successfully existed? If it's the latter than the Atari 2600 is going to dominate.

Well, NES wins. You can still vote because I forgot the one day limit, but it won't count. Next round: SNES vs. XBox

SNES pwns XBOX. The game's library alone is enough to make it superior. Very stupid pairing, are you just picking these arbitrarily?

I think removing virtual console is severely crippling one of the Wii's strongest selling points.

Don't own a Wii, and the only reason I would ever get one would be for the Vcon so I can play more retro games, particularly NES games. So I guess that answers the question.

NES is better, but that's an unfair statement.

The Wii doesn't take 30 minutes to start though (it was hooked to shitty old TV, but still).

The NES had plenty of crap that could be considered shovelware, who really wants to play 90 billion different flavors of golf basketball football and whatever the fuck 3d Word Runner and The Adventures of Billy Bayou were supposed to be?
