Board 8 > Best Nintendo Console Day 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Eliminated Day 1: N64
---

That's a typical B8 poll result alright
---

lol N64 was down for like the shortest period of time

oh well it's certainly one of the weaker libraries
---

what a travesty, n64 deserved better
---

The stuffer stuffs again.
---

Awful result
---

I don't understand who cares enough to stuff these.

But I also don't understand why Nick doesn't click the '1 vote per IP' option

Apparently he has stated that the stuffer has measures to get around 1 IP vote.

If anything opening up allows others to antistuff lol

B8 has some odd ones.

Wtf wow haha
---

The N64 is like the Wii.

You got like 5 best game evers and that's about it.

phones don't really get affected by the "1 vote per IP" option since they can easily change their IP by toggling on/off airplane mode (while using data instead of wifi)

that describes the anti-Wii

Wii got a tonne of fun games on it but just a few true greats

lmao

I mean if people really wanted these polls to be legit they would just count votes that people come into the topic to say. At least that would be more work for the stuffer and you could see a bunch of newb accounts voting for the same one in a row.

N64 going yesterday sucks. Probably the best, wish I was here for it.

N64 >>>>>>>>> SNES = Wii = Switch >>>> GCN >> Wii U >>>>> NES

NES doesn't have many games that I'd still enjoy playing. The SNES does and there's actually quite a few, and I sure as hell enjoyed that more as a kid. ALttP remains one of my favourite games, as does SSFII. I'm a bit young to remember many of the games from the time, but I loved most of them that I played.

N64 has such a good library of games, and was probably Nintendo's peak, along with obviously Rare. Two of the best Zelda games, MK64, the first Smash, one of the best Marios (and the first 3D one) Banjo-Kazooie, DK64, DKR, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Starfox 64, Star Wars Podracer, Excitebike, Turok, Pokemon Stadium... I could probably go on, but you get the point. There's a ton of good stuff on there, and the vast majority of it is still more than playable now.

The GameCube is surprisingly mediocre, now I think back on it. Wind Waker and Sunshine are both very good, but not compared to others in their series. Double Dash is one of the weakest MK games, I'm not a massive Melee fan, and there's a lack of RPGs. I guess it started the Metroid Prime series, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing, but out of those the only one I ever really enjoyed was Animal Crossing. Metroid is the one big series I never liked, for some reason the mix of platforming, shooting and exploring was never my thing despite liking genres with those by themselves.

The Wii is pretty damn decent. The best 2 3D Mario games, the return of 2D to consoles, two Zeldas, Brawl, which I liked more than Melee (please don't hurt me), and the best Mario Kart game by a country mile. There's also Xenoblade, and it was the first console to have VC proper, plus backwards compatibility and actually workable internet. There's a lot of other good stuff, but I think I listed everything I would consider great, and the N64 just has more. The features except purely games bump it up a little, too.

The Wii U is the Wii but without good new stuff. A weak Smash, a weak MK, a weak 3D Mario, no Zelda. It started Splatoon off, I guess, and it had Mario Maker which was great. It also had a lot of rereleases which were updated (Wind Waker HD is lovely) and is backwards compatible with Wii games, so it's not completely useless. Gamepad is shite, though.

The Switch is looking good so far but I've unfortunately only gotten to use other's. BoTW looks amazing, although I personally wasn't a fan of the controls or a few mechanics, and Odyssey looks great too. Smash Ultimate is the definitive version of Smash and it's not even close, XC2 has probably my favourite soundtrack of a game I've never played, MK8D is... Not as bad as MK8? It's getting a mainline Pokmon game in the future, which I'd hope would also be a plus. There's also a fair few indie games and ports of AAA games that released two generations ago. Also, it's portable and good for multiplayer on the go as long as you have ridiculously tiny hands! Wonderful.

tl;dr N64 amazing, everything else good to meh

If he has 1 per IP on, they would still need to have an account for every IP they use.

N64 is definitely the most overrated Nintendo console, so I'm okay with it going out first for that reason.

But that's the case either way - you need an account to vote with or without IP filtering

If there is no IP filtering, you can just change IPs and then vote away, no account needed.

Wow I can't believe 64 went out that quick. Sad.

I think you reversed your meaning here!

if there's no IP filtering you just change your account no IP needed yes, but that's a matter of accessibility and not actual prevention meaning people who really want to change votes are more capable since there's just less competition of others doing it

There is an option on the polls: Anybody, registered or not.

Theoretically you should be able to just change your IP and boom.
---

I don't really have any experience with non-registered votes included since "registed only" is always the go-to her, that's an interesting idea to use

N64 is too good for you people

Where is NES ever overrated? Not here or on most message boards. The people who have nostalgia for it have mostly moved past ranking things to other aspects of their life, so you really only see praise from definitive historian articles. SNES still carries heavy nostalgia with the internet and 25+s, so it is usually praised the most, but it's mostly the cutoff these days for video game nostalgia. Maybe over a decade ago, the NES fans still posted, but not anymore.
---

The N64 isn't really all that great

it's super top heavy, with a few games that are just absolute all-time influential classics, but it's not exactly hit after hit after hit

Nintendo's really lucky they had Rare propping up the B-lister N64 game tier

...what the fuck? Last time I looked N64 was tied for first! God damn stove top stuffer
---

64 was in first even before my vote, and there were only a couple hours left in the poll.

I'm literally stewing in my own juices right now!

Also,

Incredible votals for this Console Contest, looks like Leon will have to finally admit it's time to take this baby site-wide!

Trash result

Barring Switch since it's still ongoing, the two best are easily NES and Wii.

I think it's more the fact that those games overshadow the rest of the library so it's all people remember sometimes.

maybe it's all they remember because the library is so small

it was a great multiplayer console though and I was at the right age to make the most of it
---

it has the best 3D platformer (SM64), the best console FPS for multiplayer (Perfect Dark) and single player (GoldenEye), and is the best party console ever (Mario Party 1-3, MK64, Pokmon Stadium, Smash, Mario Tennis/Golf). Then you have the Zeldas and Banjo-Kazooie on top of that.
---

this board is going to hell
---

Why the hell would someone go through the trouble to stuff votes on a poll on GameFAQs? Whatever the result, it's just the act that seems really sad. What has to happen in someone's life for that to be their most anticipated and enjoyable acitivity on a given day? Especially when that person does it in so many polls. There is so much you could be doing in the 24 hours you have in a day and you choose to stuff votes on a completely insignificant internet poll about video games.

Nevertheless, N64 had some top tier games, but that's all it relied on I guess. Still, the Wii U exists...

I've heard tales of people who set alarms to wake themselves up from sleeping, just to vote in Save My contests.

I cant see how the NES ir the N64 are worse than the Wii U but that's just me

Do these stuffed results match up with Smurf's tastes? Because this seems like something he would do.
