Would it be the Super Nintendo with it's hidden gems like Super Mario World and A Link to the Past?, the Mega Drive with it's hidden gems like Sonic 3 & Knuckles?, or the Nntendo 64 with it's games that nobody has ever heard of like Super Mario 64?. Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below.

Yup
Or
pc/mac,

One of those
Answer me you fucking ni
People like you who genuinely think there are no games worth playing on NES shouldn't be posting on /vr/. It's pretty embarassing tbh. I have beaten 320 NES/Famicom/FDS games and I still have a list of about 150 I'd like to finish or play, and a tons of those have really high replay value

I will give you Battletoads though, that'll last an eternity
Even though neither of them are my favorite system, SNES and PS2 are really the only acceptable "desert island" consoles.
psp was the best porn machine we ever had.
>anxiously waving the psp around in the bathroom to get a better wifi signal so the jenna haze jpgs load quicker
Does a hacked Wii count? The 'hacked' part is important because even though I understand homebrew isn't allowed there are still Virtual Console games and the entire GC library. Either this or the PS2 but again only if backwards compatibility with the PS1 counts
I feel like VC or backwards compatibility makes every console except the PS2 or (not retro) Wii completely irrelevant. The thread is probably more about the actual dedicated library of each system
If this is the case I think I'd go with either the NES or the PS1
honestly regardless of if backwards compatibility is a thing or not i'd probably go with either the PS2 or 360 simply because there's more games i'd enjoy on those systems.
not really because unless you hack/hombrew your console the only ones that are fully backwards compatible are the PS2 and launch model PS3s.
Wii has full BC with the gamecube but the virtual console is still limited to what is available on the E-shop
Wii U has full BC with the Wii U but i'm pretty sure not the gamecube + same limitations of the VC.
360 has limited BC of OG xbox games.
xbone has limited BC for 360 & OG xbox games.
series X has full BC of xbone games but the same limited catalogue for 360 & OG xbox.
PS1. It's got all the mainline titles we all know about, plus all the nip jank we don't. It's an easy answer because I grew up with it, and it came out before the industry got goyslopped into oblivion
The choice really comes down to the Dreamcast, PS1, or Genesis.
Many people default to the two dumbest options available, the PS2 and SNES, thinking they're just going to spend 20 hours a day sitting on their fat ass playing JRPGs like they do in real life.
A real desert island situation would mean lots of manual labor, and food procurement. After a hard day, you'd want to relax with some quick pick up and play arcade style games. All things considered PS1 covers all options the best.
I don’t think the PS1 has less jarpigs than the PS2
Has far more. But it also has far more actual video games as well.
Can you give me an example of those non-games the PS2 has but the PS1 doesn’t?
Only thing the PS2 has over the PlayStation is better GTA games, better sports games, and DMC
A better Dragon Quest game also lmao. Better cinematic platformers like Ico and Sands of Time
>A real desert island situation would mean lots of manual labor, and food procurement
On a real deserted island there would be no electricity you pedantic autust. The OP never mentioned anything about islands anyways.
NES is island core mon
What would you even play on the NES? Are you jokers for real?
Captcha: TOY
Not them, but it's the only system I have been playing lately (handheld Famiclone), mostly just for Tetris and Donkey Kong
Yeah, two games. One of which you don't need an NES for. For all eternity.
Heart says SNES, brain says NES
Probably SNES even though I hate the controller
NES. Very easy choice.
DS.
Call me trash but i'll go with gba, it has all the mario advance games that are really good and a lot of gimmicks that i like
I presume backwards compatibility and emulation isn't allowed
If retro then PS1 or Saturn
Out of all systems I would pick PSP though
>Arcade - Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Marvel/Capcom fighting games, Just about every shmup ever made, TMNT, ect
>Nes - Mario 1-3, Zelda 1-2, Metroid, Castlevania 1-3, Punch-Out, Tetris, ect
>Snes - Mario All Stars + World, Mario RPG, Zelda:Lttp, Super Metroid, FFVI, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, ect
>Gameboy/Color: Pokemon games, Mario games
>PSX - FF7, Vagrant Story, MGS, Chrono Cross, RE Trilogy, Crash and Spyro Trilogies
>Genesis- Sonic games, Comix Zone
I can't choose I love them all so much
>If you could only play the library of one console, which would it be?.
Arcade EASILY hands down.
Gaming started with arcades. I would have a massive library of 30 to 40+ years of ARCADE games to work with. Most games started as arcade games and were ported to consoles too, but the arcade was the superior version. And many arcade platforms had dozens or hundreds of games like Neo Geo, Capcom, Sega, Namco, etc. I would have so much to choose from. Playing on an arcade cabinet or arcade machine is a great experience too. There's nothing like it.
>but the arcade was the superior version.
Not always.
how did they think of this game? Is this from a comic book or something?
?
It's literally a bunch of elements from popular 80's action & sci-fi movies (Aliens, Predator, Rambo, Commando) crammed into one game.
Ah, thought maybe it was a comic book I didn't know about
Then by today's standard they would get sued for it all?
They don't use any trademarks or copyrighted material, it's just inspired by.
NES, especially if I can include Famicom and FDS
PS2. Easily. Even without backwards compatibility, the PS2’s library is just so expansive; it’s littered with so many fun titles and different genres that you could be set for a few years, more if you take your time or replay things.
If you’ve got backwards compatibility with the PSX, it’s over, you are set forever. No need to worry.
>Console
PS3 (With PS1 & 2 compatibility)
>Handheld
DSi (With GBA) compatibility
>PS3
Ok
>(With PS1 & 2 compatibility)
Denied
>DSi
Ok
>(With GBA) compatibility
Denied
>denied
I deny your denial. If Its officially supported right out of the box and is reasonably accurate it should be included. It's not some half baked euro jank homebrew with 50% compatibility.
Different anon here. I'm going to have to agree with other anon. If we allow your way, then I could just bring an SNES with the Super Gameboy cartridge adaptor and bring the entire Gameboy game library along with the SNES game library. I don't think the OP intended that. He wants us to choose one system and make the hard choice.
Agreed. It's such a pet peeve of mine when someone adds backwards compatibility into this thought exercise. It's funny how people want to be a semantics homosexual when saying "aktually backwards compatibility", while simultaneously ignoring the "library" part. It's a pointless question to ask if we start allowing for more than one library as an answer.
Anyway, I'd probably pick PS2. Has a little bit of everything, with great examples to represent pretty much any genre. And thanks to all of the retro comps, there's plenty of older shit to play too.
>DSi
>GBA compatibility
Who’s gonna tell em?
It's the same, dumb "DSi has GBA native compatibility!" line I've heard dozens of times on here. Pure, unadulterated stupid.

SEGA CD
probably wii, just cuz of virtual console
the psp truly is something special. don't see why 'tards get chinkhelds when a psp would be better
Name 4 games on the PSP that would last me 100+ hours each on replayability alone
Yugioh Tag Force series
Monster Hunter Series
Patapon Series
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Wipeout Pure/Pulse
PSX
The Amiga. Best mix of action, adventure, RPG and strategy games, nearly perfect 2D art and enough titles to last me a lifetime.
I will applaud you for being different at loeasat.
Sega Genesis. Great mix of platformers, action games, shmups and adventure. Landstalker, Beyond Oasis and Light Crusader are all engrossing experiences, and I can always pop in Streets of Rage or Fire Shark if I want quick action.
what noteworthy platformers did it have besides sonic, I'm only aware of some disney titles which were inferior to the snes versions
Rocket Knight Adventures, Ristar, Pulseman and Quackshot are all great. Really if platformers are your thing then NES is gonna be better than both SNES and Genesis, but Sonic alone beats both SMW and DKC.
