I heard an interesting theory lately — the console that loses the ‘console wars’ in each specific generation, often ends up producing the most interesting games. Think about it… the N64 with Ocarina of Time and Mario 64. The Dreamcast with Shenmue, Power Stone, and others. The Gamecube with Wind Waker and Metroid Prime. Would you agree with this? And what do you think are some of the most underrated consoles of all time?
I’d definitely make an argument for the GameCube. Towards the end of that generation I began to realise that I spent more time with my GameCube than any other console released during that period of time. Pikmin 1 and 2, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX, Wind Waker — these are classic games!
What about you guys? What are the consoles that history forgot?
