The SNES is still the best Nintendo console, but Ocarina of Time remains the best game.
I use to love Nintendo, in the past few years I've started to give up on them, hopefully they can start making good hardware again before the 130th anniversary.

at last, for christ's sake
to the next 125 years, when you'll be still around and kicking Mario Tetraverse 15, while any other company only a distant memory

The Wii U has honestly been the most time I have spent with a Nintendo system since the SNES. If I had to pick a favorite system it would probably be that one. My Gamecube and Wii were pretty much just Smash Bros machines.

My favorite Nintendo game is Super Mario World (that said NSMBU is a better game) but I feel like Brawl deserves a shout out for that crazy story mode. I am bummed out that we are not getting another story mode like that in Smash 4.

Nintendo just turned 125, having formed on September 23, 1889. Here's a thread to discuss our favourite games, consoles and celebrate general Nintendo goodness before sites start posting their clickbait articles of their "Top 10 Nintendo games/consoles/products" etc. First Nintendo console and game? Most hated console/game? Favourite Nintendo employee/developer? DISCUSS!

Here's to another 125 years of doom!

I'm going to say that today, Metroid Prime is also my favorite Nintendo game. Gamecube will always be my favorite console, though. My favorite Ninty game changes almost every day, though, sooo.

Honorable mention to some other favorite Nintendo games:
Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, ALTTP, SMB3, SMW, SM3DW, Smash Bros Melee, Paper Mario: TTYD, Earthbound, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Donkey Kong Country: TF, Super Metroid, Kid Icarus: Uprising

Nintendo is my favorite gaming company ever. And probably will always be.

May our descendants converge in here and celebrate Nintendo's doom in 2139!

Favorite console: This is a hard one... but I'm actually thinking 3DS is actually becoming one!

Favorite game: This is an easy one - Super Mario Galaxy 2! Impressive, exhilarating game and still my fav of all time.

Crazy. Nintendo has always been integral to my life. I'm sure many of us wouldn't be playing video games without them.

Thanks for every Nintendo <3
God bless Yamauchi.

I have to go with the Super NES as my favorite console. And Super Mario Galaxy as game. Super Metroid and Majora's Mask are very close behind.

Thanks to Nintendo I've been a gamer since 1988 (I was 4) to this day. I've been mostly a Nintendo gamer, but have also traveled on PC's, Microsoft's and Sony's seas. Only Nintendo brings me this awesome feeling that reminds me of my childhood and this "magic" that videogames should have

favorite console - Wii (Backwards compatible model)
favorite games - Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past
favorite handheld - Nintendo 3DS
favorite handheld game - Golden Sun 1/2/3

Here's to another 125 years!
