I don't see why the SNES is being mentioned in this thread. The SNES was exactly what the N64 was not - the primary choice for 3rd party developers. Nintendo lost nearly all of their 3rd party developers after the SNES era, supposedly because they had treated them poorly. What i don't understand is why the Japanese support left (the N64 was a barren wasteland in terms of 3rd party Japanese titles); I only know of nintendo's mistreatment of it's western 3rd party devs. Anyways, the PS1 became THE console for Japanese support and thats why it had such a stellar library. Best JRPG library to date, mostly thanks to Square.

SNES is by far the greatest console yet, but I did love the '64.

[QUOTE="IndigoSunrise"]

[QUOTE="thebluebox"] what! ps2 better than starfox, f-zero, sf2, and killer instinct, r u nuts! yes, i know it's your opinion, but wtf?thebluebox

With stuff like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Rachet And Clank, Devil May Cry,Countless RPG's like Persona and the Most awesome Multplats like Okami, Viewtifull Joe, Resident Evil4 and Rez I'd say its a pretty close tie.

i feel sorry for u then. and u know Final Fantasy was on SNES right? the best one too, FF6

Why feel sorry for him? It's generally accepted that the ps2 is one of the greatest consoles of all time, so it's not like he's saying something that's totally absurd or ludicrous. You can make a great case for either one as being the best of all time.
