1- SFC / SNES
2- MEGA DRIVE / GENESIS
3- NES
4- Commodor-64
Those where the days J . I remember when Street Fighter 2 came out for the SNES I had to buy every few days a new SNES pad because it wouldn`t stand our the pressure, these pads were not made for fighting games and D button really gave us a lot of pain but when you look at Nintendo`s consoles in the beginning they were made for fun game like Super Mario Bros. games and the other Nintendo games and other third parts like Konami with it`s wonderful franchises. Still the SNES is my favorite console of all time and I`m happy that the NGC/GBP is continuing this path. As for the Genesis 6-button and The Saturn pad [i had a Saturn but sold it] they are always my No.1 pads, I still have two pairs of them in mint condition.
Now for the PS and PS2 IMO if Sony would not cheat on their consumers for the making low quality of their console then I would have rank it and bought a PSZwei. That`s why they are No.1 because the consumer has to buy more than one for it`s low quality especially the lens and yes I had one [PS] for the RPG`s but I don`t own it any more, even for it I had to many pads [the same reason as the SNES] because the ASCII pads and stick were always out of stock.
My friends they all have PS & PS2 and some times I play it with them but when playing on it doesn`t has the feeling like playing on a SNES or a GENESIS. If Nintendo-64 was a CD based console from the start PS wouldn`t have a chance. It`s all because of the format, it was main reason for Square and other third parts to move to PS.
