The Switch 2 may be garnering headlines now, but is it really the greatest of all Nintendo consoles? @RollingStone’s CT Jones writes a love letter to the Nintendo DS. “I had been using a worn Game Boy Advance SP, hard fought from my brothers’ clutches with the taped-on rechargeable battery pack to prove it,” they write. “But my Nintendo DS was the first game console in our house that was mine and mine alone.” We want to know, which is your all-time favorite Nintendo console (excluding the Switch 2, which we’re assuming most of you haven’t had the chance to try yet, consoles that weren’t widely available, and straightforward upgrades of existing models)? Tell us in the comments which was your all-time favorite Nintendo peripheral/accessory — we were fans of the GameCube bongos.

A fairly definitive win for the SNES in our poll on best Nintendo consoles, which probably says a lot about the average age of fediverse folk. As @Thad put it: “I suspect that for most of us the best Nintendo console is the one we had when we were 8-12. For me that’s the SNES.” You and a plurality of others, Thad. When it came to accessories, @noodlemaz says Rumble Pak was a literal game-changer, and shouts out their transparent purple N64 controller too. @tom says the GameCube is where it’s at. Too right, Tom: GameCube Bongos 4 Life.
