    Wario Land was awesome.
    the Pippen would have more votes if more than 8 people bought it, i miss back when Apple failed at all their new ideas instead of succedded at putting out the same thing 60 times.

    I went with Virtual Boy, that was the first console I ever bought with my own money I was pretty pissed at the time. It had some decent games like Mario Tennis, Wario and there was a robot boxing game but really it was inconvenient to play and it really hurt my head after a while.

    Well, for me, even though it isn't listed, the original NES gave me the most aggravation for a console. Loved the games but half the time when I inserted a cartridge into the console, the game wouldn't play. Not sure if it was the game or the console but I'm guessing the console since it happened with a lot of games.

    That was part of the fun! Everyone I knew had their own rituals for what you had to do in order to get the games to work.

    Virtual Boy is a strong pick, but it had no negative effect on nintendo as a whole, as they went on too have another 2 or 3 very successful portables after it.
    Sega had the Saturn after 32x, and the 32x was released as a stopgap between the genesis and saturn.
    You forgot the Sega CDX

    What you had to do was, blow in the cart, obviously, but then, you wedge something into the nes to hold the game in the down position, i beleive a casette tap or 2 could be used for this.

    Why are the Nintendo Gamecube and Original XBox on this list? That's like putting The Green Lantern movie on a list with Manos, Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star, Batman Forever, and Battlefield Earth.

    Hey...
    Batman and Robin was the really bad one, Batman Forever was on par with Batman Returns.

    I did the traditional, "Blow into the Cartridge," which eventually did the trick. I never wedge anything into the console fearing it would make things worse.

    My ritual consisted on blowing into it, and then banging on the cartridge a few times for the stated purposes of attempting to dislodge any dust...but looking back on it this probably had more to do with releasing my pent up frustration about not being able to play Rygar precisely when I wanted to.

    I found that a properly placed butter knife always solved that pesky Nintendo cartridge problem.

    I laugh at original xbox being on the list despite it kicked major ass. I never played any of those consoles that aren't Nintendo, or Virtual Boy, and Genises was boss. Really, if you're going to put xbox in there, you might as well add Dreamcast. Not that it sucked or anything.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is not canon to anything. Nor is the new Clone Wars movie.

    *wikied* $400? Really? I mean I know the 3DS was around that price range, but come on.

    Edit: Was replying to Alex about the Gizmondo. Don't get how this new interface works.

    The xbox wasn't bad, but i played it less than any system i have ever owned in my life.
    I think i got my first gaming pc around the same time though.
