WORST Nintendo Console

Well the Virtual Boy is a no-brainer for this one, but out of their major consoles, it has to be the Wii. It's not only the worst major Nintendo console ever made, but the worst major console ever made, period. The technology was dated by over five years on its release (that's even more shameful than the Atari 5200), its third party library is laughable and even the Nintendo stuff is mostly rehashes such as Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 8, and SSBB and non-games such as Big Brain Academy and Wii Fit.

If we're excluding Virtual Boy from this, I'd say the N64. There were so many bad decisions made with the system's design. I mean, sticking with cartridges?

But that's just my opinion.

Although it wasn't mentioned, I'll say the Wii.Yameneko549

agreed...but the viltual console was worse...

I'd say the Wii as well, but since this is "Legacy Platforms".. I'll go with the Gamecube, simply because the other Nintendo consoles had more games I enjoyed.

That is a hard question, I would go with the Wii but it is not on your list so I will vote for the Gamecube, even though I really loved it. Nintendo never really had a bad console, aside from the Virtual Boy.

Virtua Boy lol my parents got that for me when i was 10 years old.. I got pissed and told them to take it back and buy me MORTAL KOMBAT 3 instead

Your asking us to name the worst out ofTHAT list? Your kidding me, right? None of those systems suck. Each system has it's strengths and weaknesses. How can you tell us to name the worst console by Nintendo and then say we can only use the systems from your list which has its best ones? Also, people who say the Gamecube sucks havent played it. It did have some great games on ( 3 Zelda games, 2 Metroid games, 3+ Mario games and the list goes on) like Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

Topic: WORST Nintendo Console

The SNES - is the worst Nintendo console out of the four nintendo consoles the topic creator listed.

N64 was totally amazing with Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, Super Mario 64, Kirby 64, and this was back when all these games were totally fresh and

when on-line console gaming was non-existent

The NES was pretty crappy too though.

The gamecube was alright.

The top three worst are the Virtua Boy(just awful), Game Boy Micro(useless and needless), and the Wii(not enough good games justify so much showelware).

I loved all the classic Nintendo consoles. Heck, I even loved the gamecube. While it may not be retro, I think the wii is the worst. It's loaded with shovelware and has very few games of any depth.

wii....

I own four Nintendo consoles- NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube. My pick- N64 because it lacked RPG, and fighting games.DeafNYCPlayer

Hey nintendo 64 is the best console of nintendo. Prove ocarina of time, mario 64, or 007 goldeneye.

Nintendo Gamecube... Why you ask? Well, afew big reasons.

1. Small game catalog (compared to ANY other Nintendo console *excluding handhelds*)

2. Only a few blockbuster hits.

3. In my own opinion the controller design was horrible!

4. There just aren't that many memorable games.

5. A huge letdownafter the SNES.

6. Something just didn't feel right.... It felt as though this console was forced in some way shape or form.... kind of like it wasn't complete or something... can't quite place it though.

Wii easily. All Nintendo's previous systems' game libraries crush Wii's and I don't find Wii to be anywhere near innovative.gunswordfist

ocarina of time and golden eye are baller!

mario 64=garbage :evil:

[QUOTE="zarshack"]

Funny you say this because i never had any problems with my old NES all the games ran fine and rarely froze (unless you bumped the console)

codezer0

The ZIF, Pins, and 10NES were all the causes of the problems: The ZIF Slot could easily bend, especally when a Game Gene was used. The 10NES Chip could be affected by damaged, dirty or corroded pins, causing it to go berzerk. and the pins themselves could easily bend over time, and collect dust.l

From what I've heard the Virtual boy was the worse Nintendo console (although I haven't played it). I find the SNES to be the best while the Wii being slightly better then the Gamecube. Either way, the NES, SNES, N64, GC and Wii are all good consoles.

The worst was the Virtual Boy without a doubt. It was not very fun at all and it gave me a headache whenever I played. I also don't particularly care for the Wii, but that's mostly because of the lack of decent games.

Game Boy Micro. I didn't even know it existed untilI saw it on sale at my local Toys R' Us for like 40 dollars.

And the DS came a short while later so I don't know why they even released that in the first place.

I'd have to say the Virtual Boy... I don't think it was very well thought out.

Virtual Boy.

Out of the popular concoles that actually did well though my vote would be for Gamecube. Had a few really amazing games on it but overall really was lacking in decent titles.

Why is everyone putting down the Gamecube? Sure itdidn't have a large game selection, but just think of all the great games it did have.

Super Mario Sunshine

Mario Baseball

Mario Tennis

Pikmin (1 and 2)

Smash Bros. Melee

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Animal Crossing

Could Virtua Boy count? If so, that is the Nintendo console/handheld of all time, do I really need to give a reason?

I actually don't think I've ever picked up any Nintendo device, and didn't get a lot of enjoyment out of it except for that Virtual Crap.

I mean I've gotten hundreds of hours of playtime with every console except the Wii so far, but that's just because I don't play multiplayer with my friends as often as I did with the older games, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

I'm a big RPG fan, so the worst Nintendo console for me would be the N64. The only RPG that I am interested in on that system is Ogre Battle 64. Gamecube wasn't too much better in the RPG department, but at least it gave us 3 great RPGs (Fire Emblem, Tales Of Symphonia, and Baten Kaitos).weltall1028

What about Skies of Arcadia?!

The Wii.

The controller is so stupid.

I say the Gamecube was the worse.

Wii easily. All Nintendo's previous systems' game libraries crush Wii's and I don't find Wii to be anywhere near innovative.gunswordfist

So you think the Virtual Boy is better than the Wii? I guess you are in the minority unless you forgot it exists.

All I read was the title. The Wii is the worst. I see nothing but a bunch of no innovation sequels, rehashes, and half assed shovelware. All that games that are worth owning for the Wii I can count with the fingers on one hand.

AntoineCoyote

Let's see:

Super Mario Galaxy,Super Mario Galaxy 2,Super Paper Mario,Super Smash Bros Brawl,Mario Kart Wii,Red Steel 2,Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess,New Legend of Zelda for the Wii,New Super Mario Bros Wii,Zack and Wiki,Contra Rebirth,Lost Winds,Lost Winds 2,Punch Out Wii,etc.

I named 14 great games and more to keep coming!Dude games on the PS3/360 are rehashes and have no innovative sequels.the Wii doesn't have any rehases but loads really don't have innovation.I would think you would say the Virtual Boy because that is the absolute worse excuse for video gaming!

15:12:51Whoa Whoa Whoa.. Lets all take a step-back, and unite, to find the real culprit of crap.. the anti-christ, the spawn of the devil......

Yes thats right ladies and gentlemen... teh WORST is:

The Nintendo Wii

It even looks like cheese, and the games certainly stink of it..

Whats everyone talking about, N64 was great, I'd still rather play Perfect Dark on that, than the tripe they call games on the Wii.

_Pinbot_

and its true that the n64 is great

There are LOADS of good games on the Wii you just half to find theme.

For the worst one is well...it's hard to choose though I guess it's the N64.It's awesome though it had some of the worst in the series like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros though some/a few of the best in the series like Legend of Zelda and Mario Party(I would tie the N64 Mario Party with the GC's)

superfakerbros

It had the worst entries in the series? What? Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. were excellent games when they came out, and I've known a lot of people who preferred them over their GC successors (heck, I prefer MK64 over Double Dash myself). The N64 had some of the best entries in Nintendo's franchises (especially Mario and Zelda). Let's not forget that it also had some really kickass second party support (ie Rare), and it's third party support was pretty damn good as well. It was also the console that future hits like Resident Evil 0, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, and Animal Crossing were supposed to have been originally released (although AC was released on the N64 in Japan).

The worst Nintendo console is without any doubt the Virtual Boy. One of the hardest console flops in industry history.

Well, i've been a Nintendo fan ever since I was a kid during the NES days, and out of the console choices you've given I'd have to say its a no brainer

Gamecube

Just looking at it logically, the SNES and NES are immediately knocked out of the running for worst as they have massive libraries of games and pretty much all genre's covered, that just leaves you with the Gamecube and N64, two consoles which are extremely easy to compare. The Gamecube is pretty much an N64 with half as many good exclusives, no originality or innovation, and whose best exclusive games were no longer impressive or relevant to the times. N64 had Goldeneye, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Wave Race, 1080 etc, all games which were pretty much leading games in their respective fields on any console and state of the art at the time, whilst the Gamecube's exclusives were all bettered by games on other systems, Mario Sunshine was bettered by Ratchet and Clank,The Zelda'swere bettered by Shadow of the Collosus and Okami, 1080 Avalanche was bettered by SSX3 etc.

N64 owners could always take comfort that whilst maybe they didn't have the huge numbers of games available, what they did have were some of the best games out there, Gamecube owners may of still had good Nintendo games, but their exclusives had better equivilents on other systems (with the only notable exception being Metroid Prime, which really was a game to be proud of)

Virtual Boy, interesting concept but it was poorly done. The system was a huge failure.

People saying the Wii are stupid...anyways I say the worst was the GC, nothing innovative about it.

Domino_slayer

REmake, RE0, RE4 (was exclusive for awhile and neither the PS2 or PC versions were as good), Windwaker, TP, OoT: MQ, Animal Crossing (back when it was still fresh), Tales of Symphonia, Ikaruga (sure it was ported from DC but good luck finding it for that system), SSBM, Eternal Darkness, MGS Twin Snakes, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Rogue Squadron 2, Pikmin, Pikmin 2...

The GC had plenty of top notch games. The issue was that most of them were 1st or 2nd party games, with very few high quality 3rd party exclusives to speak of (much less 3rd party games period).

If you want to talk about a crap nintendo console, your only choice is the Virtual Boy whose library had a grand total of 22 games, not a single one of which was remarkable in any way.

The Gameboy Micro reminds me of the PSP GO. Totally un necessary edition to the family and didnt support older formats (well Download to UMD as Colour to Advance).

All in all I would say:

1st Virtual Boy

2nd Gameboy Micro

3rd Gamecube

The rest of the systems are perfect in theyre own way, even though the gamecube was fine in a way too.
