SNES: Great console or greatest console?

The SNES is by large my FAVORITE system of all time; it just has so many classics that have just aged beautifully.

The SNES gave us:

Kirby Super Star
Megaman X series
Mega Man 7
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country/Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Secret of Mana
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Lufia 2
Super Metroid
Chrono Trigger

I love my 360, but it pales in comparison to Nintendo's last great console and arguably has the best set of games on one console to date.

I think I'm gonna go set up my SNES now.
scanned list for chrono trigger, smiled and nodded

thinking of getting a linux handheld just to play snes games
i have two SNES cartridges of the following games: FFIV, FFVI, Super Metroid
also carp i can't find my av cables

figures the one time i want to play a nintendo system i can't
Shawn and I have a PS2, N64, Gamecube, NES, and SNES hooked up to our TV. The SNES is the only one that gets any use (unless you count the PS2's usage as a DVD player).
Good old days. I wonder what happened to all this.
People started looking at video games more like interactive movies than games. The simply joy of bright colours and collection of arbitrary shapes (Pac-Pellets, Rings, etc...) went by the wayside in lieu of powerful guns, eerily realistic FMV, and massive amounts of polygons.
I wish someone would remake something like an SNES game, only for the current-gen consoles.
Sort of like Megaman 9. But a full price game.
The size of the game would be unbelievable.
But instead they choose to make them go 3D, like Megaman X.
ANYWAYS.

As good as SNES was, I wouldn't call it the greatest console still.
As fun as the games are, I would enjoy my 360 games more. Lips_sealed

these went by the wayside by the time the SNES came out buddy
Dude. Three words. Super. Bubble. Bobble.

Oh, so do I; it's just that there are a greater number of titles on the SNES compared the 360. The 360 is a very close second, but the SNES is the console I grew up playing so yeah.
Maybe it's just my vintage, but even if I wasn't a Sony fanboy (which I am) I'd still say Sony's PlayStation was the greatest console made. IMO, it was the first successful console that didn't look just for the kids, and family yet still broke out and became mainstream. Some of the few games I still play on my PS3 that aren't for special occasions like MGS(and no, I didn't play MGS as a child, game bored the carp out of me back then), are the Crash, and Spyro games. Ten years after the fact and those jewel cased games are still the ones for me.

That said, Super Mario World, and Mario RPG are likely the games I played the most as a child.
i was like the only kid without an SNES Unhappy
sega genisis ftl
I didn't have a SNES either, played on a sega saturn until my mom gave it away.

I think by then, pixels were already in decline.
Im definitely getting banned so this will be my only post most likely. The bias from artie and roan is........ astounding, seriously, you even stepped out and said you love 360. Tell me, you have gears series and halo series. how can you even think that warrants you enough to say its the 2nd best console ever. they keep milking halo, carp you got halo wars, halo 3 recon AND most likely halo 4. i keep telling you, they milk the carp out of a single series. and yes, brad is also biased. why choose 360 over ps3? i cant see why.

Honestly, your gears and halo vs our God of war, metal gear series, final fantasy 13 vs (you wish you were getting this game) and so much more.

Oh and my favorite topic, quoting roan on killzone 2. carp blind fanboy. Sersiously you are in denial. How are you gonna say kz2 is generic. That and oh itz too darkz are typical xbot responses to killzone 2. Come on roan. I want to see your tears when killzone 2 gets a 95 + on metacritic.

Oh, and R2 scored same as gears 2 @ IGN and littlebigplanet got game of the month and a .5 higher score than gears 2 in gameinformer. and this is 08. most likely lbp or mgs4 is taking goty 08 and how can something like killzone 2 and god of war 3 take goty09. Thats right artie, roan and brad. eat your hearts out. im sure you will be once february comes. oh i forgot youll just be in denial that killzone 2 sucks and isnt the best fps ever.

yeah but we hate them. ergo, we're biased

carp, i wish i didn't buy this thing though
Yeah I have a PS3 but its been relegated to playing movies and that's about it. Although I did buy LittleBigPlanet today so we'll see how that goes.
Unfortunately I haven't owned a Snes..

I see the PS2 as being the greatest console ever though, sales and game library wise.
Gtfo guys.

We all know Wii is the greatest system ever.
