@Urazz I think because PS2 had better exclusives like GTA and Final Fantasy (even more carried over from PS1) PS2 is above X-Box. A lot of those exclusives were no longer exclusives when 360 came out.

I once plugged in a Wii U on a transit bus for a school trip. We used the gamepad as a screen to play smash. We had people bringing random wiimotes and 3ds’s to join in. We played for hours. It was so scuffed. I loved it.
He’s an idiot. He credited the N64 with killing the Saturn, but it was really the distrust Sega had built up with consumers after the CD and 32x debacles the prior year, Sega fucking over retailers with the launch window deal with KB Toys, and Sony undercutting the price with the Ps1 long before the N64 launched. He also got the Dreamcast price wrong, and spoke about Nintendo during the Dreamcast section as though that was Sega’s main competitor for that system instead of the reality that it was the PS1 (which outsold the Saturn and N64 combined) and the looming PS2. Dreamcast was dead by the time the GameCube launched.
Yeah def should switch place with the N64. It was the biggest leap ever. Also played CD's. And so many great titles started there. It made gaming mainstream
Horrific take on everything. Bro don't know what he's talking about. He speaks with certainty but doesn't know basic facts like the dreamcast was not $400 or overpriced it was $199 the issue was no one could find one throughout the holiday of 1999 and by the time they had their supply in order the PS2 was 2 months away and Sega had wasted there head start and knew they couldn't compete. I don't know why anyone takes him as serious commentary on game history and yes I agree PS1 was a game changer
Check out the smile at 18:37 when he looks at Secret of Mana. Asmon has mentioned before how much he loves that game and you can tell by the look on his face.
they really don't hold up well tbh, have you ever gone back and tried to play any of them ?. snes holds up, ps2 holds up, but ps1 is a weird area where it's both ugly and doesn't play well.
@@SlimPug yeah I played a lot of PS1 games and a large chunk of them still holds up and just timeless. Tekken, MGS, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill and Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, NFS, PES1-2, Road Rash Jailbreak, Spyro and Crash games, Medal of Honor, MediEvil, Alien Resurrection, Legacy of Kain, castlevania and final fantasy games and oh my god how much of hidden gems this console has. And a shit ton of 10/10 jRPGs. I mean a lot of modern games still based on the foundation that PS1 introduced and don't get me started on the whole "PS1 style" games that are popular right now. Not all of ps1 games are great and aged well, yes, but still a big portion of them are very good even to this day.
@@BloodringBangeradd die hard trilogy, Alien Trilogy, wipeout 2097, legend of dragoon, suikoden, dragon warrior, tekken, armoured core, vandal hearts, etc so many good games, Rayman, broken sword, discworld etc
It came out at 600$ compared to the 200$ Xbox 360 and 300$ Wii. Also Blu-ray was super irrelevant as people had a DVD collection when it released. Very niche. Free online was cool but it also got hacked and many people had to get new credit cards.
@@drizzho The only time you needed to pay for playing online was with MMOs. The only console that ever did online properly was the Dreamcast and it's online play was free. Consoles ruined online gaming forever.
@@drizzho The PS3 Slim and Super Slim came out with cheaper prices and more efficient power consumption. Only the original release PHAT was $600 because it had the on-board PS2 chips for backwards compatability and the non backwards comp. PS3 PHAT had price decreases over time. The Slim and Super Slim cost $299 at release and by 2010 - 2011 the Super Slim could be bought for $199.99 or even $159.99 when on sale, so the "price" problem is irrelevant especially when the Slim and Super Slim were so cheap. Also, the PS3 can play regular DVD's and it can play music CD's, its not just a Bluray drive. Edit: I also can comfirm too, I have a PS3 on my TV stand right in front of me. I can watch HD Bluray movies on it, play music and even UA-cam still works on it. The damn thing even has a web browser built in.
in Europe the PS2 and WII are multiple tiers above the rest. Everyone had a PS2 and WII, while the other old consoles on the list are limited to dedicated gamers here. I don't think we will ever see a console dominate the market share like the ps2 did in its prime. there were still games being developed on the console well into the PS3's lifetime. Every store that sold games had many shelves of PS2 games, you would be lucky to spot more than 2 rows of xbox or nintendo games in that era.
These comments are some of the dumbest i have ever seen -Silot 99,9% of the people buying the console had no knowledge of piracy. Dedicated gamers did not push the PS2 into the limelight, it was a combination of hardware excellency, predating all other consoles of it's own generation by atleast 1 year (GameCube and Xbox), backwards compatability with PS1 (games and joystick), being a DVD platform for audio and movies. The casuals are what sold the console. -Gonzalo Horrible analogy. Fortnite is just another product in a long line of almost identical BR's in a very saturated market, there is little innovation, but it's better than its predecessors which are just early-acces asset flips (like Pubg or H1) so that's not really that impressive. PS2 and WII had no competition in their respective markets and they were also excellent products, designed well and were innovative in their own ways. If you don't like something, make a compelling argument against it, instead of trying to associate it with something that is completely irrelevant. That being said, there is no argument here, The PS2 is objectively the best console. When asmon says that "having a PS2 is being ahead of the curve" he is ironically wrong, because almost nobody didn't have it, you were behind the curve if you didn't have a PS2.
@@lusio7182 Besides Alex Kidd you had gems such as Ultima IV, Phantasy Star, Sonic, Wonder Boy 3, Shinobi, Golvellius, Miracle Warriors, Golde Axe Warrior, Double Dragon, Golden Warrior, SpellCaster etc.
Game cube and ps2 and Xbox 360 were PEAK gaming. Ahead of the time. Best games EVER made. So good as an adult I still own them all and play them REGULARLY.
My original GameCube took a tumble before 2010 and the disk reader never recovered lmao last game I played on it was RE4.

Yeah bro he was so wrong about everything he said about that system including the score a-s tier all the way. It had way better graphics than anything that came out before and a solid line up of sports games, arcade quality ports and exclusives for the one year it was available.
@jimwhittaker4137 It had basically ps2 graphics and that came after imo. When I saw soul caliber and couldn't tell the difference between it and the arcade my mind was blown. I hate, hate HATE sports games but even I liked the 2k, 2k1 etc sports games. S tier all the way for me also.
@@benderrodriguez-fm7kv No. It absolutely was not. You are mixing it up with something else. It was $199.00 at release. Google it. Everyone can't be lying.
dreamcast was so unique and ahead of its time. it deserves a higher ranking. online a generation before anything else. mvc2, powerstone2, jet grind. its so beloved
Sega Saturn is my favorite system. There are so many great games on it. Panzer Dragoon Trilogy, Guardian Heroes, Clockwork Knight 1 & 2, Astal, Nights into Dreams, Rayman, Burning Rangers, Sega Rally, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 1 & 2, Dragon Force, Mega Man 8, Mega Man X4, Mr. Bones, Shinobi Legions, Decathlete, Die Hard Arcade, Bug! 1& 2, Earthworm Jim 2, and many, many, more. The Saturn was far more successful in Japan and had 700 plus exclusive releases in that region. I am still discovering great Saturn games to this day. I won't deny how badly Sega handled the system, but the games are fantastic.
PS2 was great, i remember playing Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank nonstop everyday I came home from school. So many memories with ps2 games. PS3 was great too, it wasn't such a big step from the ps2, but the graphics did improve a lot over the years of it's lifespan. PS3 had great games too, like Last of us, Uncharted, God of war. Good memories from that console too
it genuinely makes me happy that asmon loves secret of mana it was my very first video game and ive played it for literally two decades man it changed my life completely and it always made me happy when someone i like loves it because i rarely had any friends or any friends that knew about secret of mana even as an adult The game holds a special place in my heart and one of the most important things in my life
Never before have we seen the chat scrolling so fast for an entire hour. All the omegaluls and pogchamps ignored by asmon would forever be remembered by their authors and nobody else.
Ps2 is my all time favourite console. Not only did it have some of the best games, but it also had incredible graphics, and amazing hardware for the time. And it was backwards compatible, my favourite games from ps1 (i never played the ps1) could be played on my ps2.
@solsek7 I had a card for the arcade you could only put $50 on it max, the first machine I used it one was $5 a turn and I got the PS2 on first attempt, the ipod took a few more...
The Sega Master System is an A tier console for me. I grew up with it here in Australia. Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Wonderboy in Monsterland, Ghouls n Ghosts and Shinobi were amongst my favorite games. There were many others that I loved too.
Master System was massive everywhere except the US. Whilst NES and SNES dominated there and in Japan, pretty much everywhere else the Master System and Mega Drive dominated.
People forget the revival the PS3 had towards the end of that generation vs the Wii and 360. It was outselling the 360 hugely I believe for the last few years before the next gen consoles. It had a rough start but really wasn't a bad console in the end.
We shouldn't have to wait for a product to be good at the end of its life span. A product should be ready to go on release or they shouldn't released it until it was. That's the kind of attitude that has made EA, Activision, and Bethesda think it's okay to treat us the way they do.
@@nathanwilliams9544 End of its lifespan wasn't really accurate from myself it was a long while before that. Nevertheless it did have a rough start. It's a bit of a reach you're making comparing it to EA etc. The PS3 wasn't a broken and unusable product at any point. If anything the hardware issues Asmon mentioned that the 360 was plagued with is closer to your comparison.
i had a Wii at the time and what made me get a 360 over a PS3 was easily the price. no way was i going to drop $700+ on a console with just a couple of decent games. but now that i have a ps4 i use PS Now to play some of the games i missed from the PS3
@NoNoNoNii No doubt man. That generation was a special time, online gaming really took off into the mainstream during that era. I was always playing on PC anyway but it was for sure a breakthrough era.
The worst thing of having little cousins is that I had to give them all my ps2 games (and the ps2) when I got my ps3... Not gonna make that same mistake again
Not really.. they release the same titles every generation and the fan boys buy it (not much of a selection). They never have any good sales in the online market. The graphics are doo-doo. And the online is still to this day booty. Super Nintendo, N64 & GameCube are the only solid ones. The Wii was innovative but not much online and terrible graphics. The Wii U is F tier, the switch is cool but an upgraded Wii U.
@@megalodontooth1017 Nintendo is great as adapting games to their technologies so yes, they release Mario on every console but each is innovative by the technology like how Mario 64 pioneered how 3d games should be with an analog stick and camera movement. Like Disney, Nintendo is more about experience. Less tangible, harder to understand. Sony and Microsoft are more about entertainment, more like Transformers movies.
Kenny Yee kudos, I do agree with what you said. I just kept cringing at the tier list as he was doing it live because it is extremely bias. But he claims this is the definitive list (probably trolling). I also bought a switch on a whim in February & dropped 500+ for the extra controller and smash bros. Then proceeded to buy another game in the market place to only find out I needed to purchase a micro SD card for $30.. I only play it when I’m taking a dump or nothing else sounds good.. any suggestions for an additional game to purchase?
You got to respect the fact that he sticks to his personal opinion. Most of the time when he was highlighting a new console people were literally spamming every single section. So everytime he made a pick it was bound to make a lot of people mad. But I can respect that he can support every choice with a bunch of rational arguments.
I never owned a SNES. However, my friend had one and oh boy it had some amazing games. It's the console that I have my foundest memories of with games like Turtles in time, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 3 and lets not forget Super Mario Kart.
I have to say, nostalgia plays a big part, I remember being 4 years old playing melee and absolutely loving it, and therefore loved the GameCube. Same thing with the 360 with halo 3 when I was 12.
Ya but you can also objectivly rate the console, i personaly make fun of Smash but Meele and GameCube have to this day big eSport events yearly. Sure there are for any kind of fighting game small events but Smash meele on the gamecube still alot of people.
Dude PS1 is definitely S tier. FF7, 8, 9, Tactics Xenogears Valkryie Profile Tekken Gran Turismo Metal Gear Syphon Filter Resident Evil Castlevania Symphony of the Night Silent Hill Lunar series etc... Are you nuts?
@@UltimateGamerCC I agree the PS2 was better, but if that's your reasoning for PS1 being A class, then after Asmon ranked the SNES an S-class (I agree with that) then he should have ranked the other nintendo consoles in A too. But that's pointless coz you can have multiple consoles from one creator be S-class.
Its not S-tier. Im sorry S-Tier are godlike consoles. PS1 was awesome. I had one, i LOVED crash bandicoot, tekken, resident evil 2, tony hawks, GT, medievil, spyro, digimon world, dino crysis, final fantasy.... but no, even if i love them, they had not a chance against the incredible masterpieces of the Nintendo 64. It was another level. Sure the catalog was awesome, the prices were good. But you had more quantity over quality, not saying bad quality, in fact was very good, but Nintendo 64 not only was a much more powerfull console, it had some of the best games in the history of the videogames. I love more PS1 than PS2, and i also put PS2 as an S. I think Asmongold loves too much Nintendo Gamecube, which is an A for me. I would only put in S rank: Super nintendo, Nintendo 64 and PS2.
Maaaan I loved my Dreamcast, I still remember beating my brothers egotistical friend so badly in Power Stone 2 that he broke his hand punching the wall xD
Hours of 15 year old me playing Shen Mu on Dreamcast were some of my fondest gaming memories. It taught me about social interaction (no joke), and it had a forklift simulator before job simulators were cool.
@@owentova I never owned the Wii, so I used the U to play the games I missed, and ended up enjoying those Wii games more. Just how I felt about it personally.
I'd argue the Wii U's real flop point wasn't the marketing as everyone says. It certainly didn't help, but I think what screwed it was how singleplayer-focused it was. If you look at how the Switch was able to compete with Xbox and Playstation, it's because it's perfectly designed for social gatherings. Same thing goes for the Wii. The other consoles have been focusing more on technology and online experiences for a while now, and that's what lets Nintendo still be so successful; it completely dominates that party demographic. The Wii U, on the other hand, made it actively difficult to play in-person multiplayer. When they lose that social aspect, what's the use of a console with weaker technology and much worse online functionality? It's only purpose was as a handheld, but it was so chunky it was awful at that too. The Switch functions as both a console AND a handheld 20x better.
Homie is missing out on great exclusive games on PS3 (infamous, LittleBigPlanet etc) plus Sony really turned around the PS3 and it did outsell the 360 at the end
45:24 because of the joystick drifting in both joycon and pro controller that didn't got repaired in the switch relaunches and Nintendo still saying that's its a myth. It deserves that spot
Gamecube was the most underrated console of all time tbh. SO many games slapped HARD. you got Melee, Kirby air ride, Super Mario Sunshine, mario kart double dash, fucking THOUSAND YEAR DOOR, wind waker, Twilight Princess, and my personal favorite to this day, Soul calibur fucking 2. GOAT
Yeah bloodbourne machine 🙄……..also god of war, ghost of Tsushima, horizon, last of us pretty much every relevant exclusive during the last generation lol gtfho
Xbox 360 reigned as supreme king of online gaming. Exclusive halo franchise, exclusive gears of war franchise. And even though a lot of games weren't exclusive people forget that all the serious online gamers were on 360 so games like call of duty might as well have been 360 exclusive. The first youtube era of gaming was played entirely on 360 for this reason. Every console included a microphone headset so everyone had one. It is definitively better than the PS4 for its time period.
I feel like the Wii U was missed potential. You look at a game like Mario Maker and just how well utilized the game pad was and could probably come up with some cool interesting ideas for some games. Had some great first party games as always where most of them are being ported to the switch now because nobody played them.
Wii U is a "D"! Wrong. It's at least an A. Breath of the wild (ported to Switch) Mario Maker. Pikmen 3 (ported to Switch) Mario Kart 8 (ported to Switch) Docky Kong Tropical (ported to Switch) Wind Waker HD (ported to Switch) Splatoon. Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance Miivearse!💔 Backwards compatibility with Wii!
Amson is such a casual when it comes to the technology of console/PC hardware. The Dreamcast was NOT expensive, it was was £199 on launch day in the UK which was extremely cheap. The PS2 was £299 when it launched and had a much weaker GPU than in the Dreamcast, but the PS2's CPU was faster and it had double the main ram (32MB v 16MB).
To be fair, the experience that an XBOX player has today is 1000 times better than at launch. And I honestly think that they are the ones better positionated for the next gen with Game Pass and the amount of studios that they are adding to their first party line up.
I always wanted a SNES, and actually prayed to God for it, never got it. I kid in the neighbourhood had it with SMW, Castlevania, Probotector, F-Zero and that game that came bundled with the bazooka light gun. Everybody wanted to be his friend to come in and play or watch his dad ace all the games
The game boy advanced attachment bumped up the GameCube for me back then and even now. It was mind blowing for me being able to play my game boy advance games on the big screen tv back then. And it didn’t attach some awkward device to the side of the console it was neatly fitted at the bottom and didn’t take up any extra space which was a plus for me.
Some of mine were gran truismo, arc the lad collection, xenogears, suikoden 1 & 2, lunar 1 & 2, megaman legends 1 & 2, FF 7, FF9, FF tactics, and breath of fire 4 just to name a few
Ps1 had ff7, tekken, metal gear solid, need for speed, grand turismo, frogger, spyro, final fantasy tactics, tomb raider, twisted metal.. just to name a few. Sony killed nintendo as far as im concerned.
Ps1 had more games but both were pretty equal asmon doesnt know what he was talking about, also SNES was not the 1st system to have a 4 player adapter like asmon said it was the original NES
Brett the Wilder yeah man. Graphics wise, it dominated anything else in the market. Graphics were definitely arcade game quality. But yeah the price was ridiculous.
20:40 made me tear up a bit not gonna lie. Having to make whatever you had work was what gave me the "never give up" attitude. I remember playing through Digimon World 3 and one day the screen went completely blue whilst playing it, not being able to save or see a single thing but you could still walk around. I lost around 20 hours of progression, literally cried so much because of it. After a week or so of contemplating breaking the disc, I decided to replay it and make sure I saved regularly on multiple memory cards and man did it feel good once I completed the game!
This list is entirely spot-on except for the PS3 ranking, the exclusive games on that thing were so incredible that 90% of them got re-released for the PS4.
Ps3 had online gaming completely free. Compared to xbox360. Also at release, it was the cheapest blue-ray player u could get and blue ray became the standart Nothing like HD-DVD the xbox supported. Rating ps3 below x360 is bullshit.
People don't still play ps2 games today? MGS2 & 3, GTA:SA, Silent Hill 2, FFX & XII, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Devil May Cry 3, Ratchet and Clank etc.
GameCube had cool 4 controllers, ssbm, luigis mansion, Mario Cart double dash, Zelda wind walker, Zelda twilight princess, pikmin, spyro, metroid, Mario party, Mario sunshine, Pokémon collosseum and xd, it had the possibility to connect with Gameboy advance and was portable. BUT the wii had all that (literally a GameCube inside it) AND more
The Switch is an S for me purely based on the quality of its titles and seemless portability and home console swapping, but I’ll downgrade it to an A because the joy cons get joystick drift so often. I’ve went through around 7 or 8 replacements combined between both joy sticks since it came out. Thankfully it’s pretty cheap and not that hard to fix on your own so I didn’t need to deduct even more points.
I would absolutely love for Nintendo to make an actual console that has the same hardware specs as modern consoles. Imagine seeing new Nintendo ip’s with the same quality as some ps5 exclusives or Xbox series ones.
Super Nintendo was one of the best. The games were awesome. I mean a lot of consoles were great, but it stepped up a lot from the previous consoles. And the games were challenging and simplistic. I miss when games didn't tell you everything. You just figured it out.
Dreamcast was ahead of its time and had a ton of amazing games, it was $200 at launch - I think Asmon was thinking about Sega Saturn which was $400. Comparatively PS2/XBOX was $300, N64/Gamecube $200, Wii $250, X360 $300/400, PS3 $500/600. It's at least an A tier.
Still remember being 6 years old walking into blockbuster in late 1995-early 1996 and it was just sitting there on display with Mario 64 for demo. I tried it and my life changed forever lol I had to have it
I think the controller is underrated too. you change the way you hold it depending on the game, but 99% of the time you hold the middle and right stem. I think all the people complaining and acting confused about the controller literally forgot how 2nd nature it was to pick up and play with it. it was my first console when i was 5 and i was not confused on how to hold it.
Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSX was my intro to LOVING/no-lifing games, and Warcraft 2 on PSX was my intro to the Warcraft universe and Blizzard games in general. PSX number one for me! Very good list, however. Two thumbs up!
Dreamcast would have done well if it didnt lose it's licensed sports games. the sales from sports games would have carried the life cycle further and gave them the opportunity and time to keep development going for other types of games.
@@Sanderke123 ??? It is easily a D or F tier the switch. Controllers that is small and flimsy with poor range, only 1080p and have games still lagging, awful online service compared to other consoles, a pro controller is twice the price of an xbox controller??? A design they stole from xbox.. Battery life is only 3 hours and the screen is made of plastic that is easy to scratch. There is good games on the switch but the console itself is a WiiU 2.0. Terrible console that will be obsolete when switch pro/2 comes in 2021...
ADA Hepper imagine paying 70 dollars for flimsy plastic controllers that break in months. Not to mention the switch has a 720p screen and like you stated game still have horrible frame rates. All that being said, I still bought one and love it
@@johnmadden6521 The games on the switch is great, some solid titles on it but the console itself is utter trash. Good that they will release a switch that is 4k ready next year or so. Hopefully it is non portable so they can really put some real power in it. The switch should never been a portable device, it should have been separated from the start so the Switch lite should have been the only portable device.
You have to rate x360 higher for innovation. they introduced online play in a big way, introduced installing discs to run games of the hdd, xbox live arcade and the birth/boom of the indie games. Digital store. The controller
A lot of times I feel like he is just too young to know what he's talking about. I'm 36 years old and I realize that a 30 year old is actually too young to have played any of these devices during their hey-day. The things he said about Game Gear are just flat-out wrong. My sister and I used to fight over who got it because of the fact that it had rechargeable batteries, whereas the Game Boy did not, and during road trips, this meant the difference between having a game system you could play the entire duration of the trip, and having one that you could only play during daylight since it wasn't backlit, and for a brief time period before the batteries would completely die. Don't even get me started on him acting like the computers shown were "stone age." For their time period they were light years ahead. I remember every kid on our block coming over to watch us play video games that would be re-released 10 years later on future consoles since they were that far ahead of their time and basically the pioneers for what kids play now.
No. Lack of games and no game anywhere near the perfection of a SMW, FF7 or OoT. While the NES didn't have a game reaching this level of perfection (except SMB3, but it came really late in its livespan) but it had *the* most innovative games of any console. Nothing can seriously claim to be even comparable to it. I think it's fair.
If you look back through the dreamcast library about 90% of the games are just arcade ports. I don't think it had very high appeal over all due to the limited selection. There are definitely a few gems in there though.
Not making PS1 S teir made him lose all credibility period as a 37 yr old who started on NES at 5 yrs old and played all the systems as they came out thought my childhood and beyond
The first three console games I ever got were Super Mario Land, F-Zero and Street Fighter 2. Those are INSANE titles. After that I got A Link to the Past. Well deserved first place.
tbh i literally only used my wii because my gamecube was broken, i don't see any notable titles other than galaxy and even that was kinda meh to me. But of course opinions differ
I never grew up with it myself, but some of my favourite games were on there that i played on the backwards compatible ps2. Tomb raider 1- 3, metal gear solid. Legit some of the best games of all time.
The SEGA Nomad was just a Genesis that was portable. Played straight up genesis games. My parents gave me one for Christmas 1996 and I used to take it on family trips. Super awesome.
Honestly it’s too hard to pick a favorite. I had great memories with Super Nintendo, N64, ps1, ps2, and xbox 360. If I had to pick one that I had the most fun on, probably N64.
N64 with banjo was probably my favorite. Banjo&kazooie BanjoTooie was probably one of the best adventure mode games in that generation. It also brought F-Zero which was a great game for it's time. Mario (DUH) Pokemon stadium (2) there are some more obviously but i believe the games on the N64 were simple but also not simple. I hate that my stepmom got rid of my N64 with banjo because dammit i want to play that again.
Can play both banjo kazooie and tooie on the Xbox one rare replay collection, or on the Nintendo switch online membership for n64! Just letting you guys know! Such good games in my opinion as well
PS2 for me was on another level. My all time fav
Very true
One of the few places where Sony is still relevant globally.

Ps1 not being in S tier is a war crime honestly
they really don't hold up well tbh, have you ever gone back and tried to play any of them ?. snes holds up, ps2 holds up, but ps1 is a weird area where it's both ugly and doesn't play well.
@@SlimPug Have you played metal gear solid? Spyro? Crash? Driver? Theyre all insanely good, even now.
@@SlimPug yeah I played a lot of PS1 games and a large chunk of them still holds up and just timeless. Tekken, MGS, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill and Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, NFS, PES1-2, Road Rash Jailbreak, Spyro and Crash games, Medal of Honor, MediEvil, Alien Resurrection, Legacy of Kain, castlevania and final fantasy games and oh my god how much of hidden gems this console has. And a shit ton of 10/10 jRPGs. I mean a lot of modern games still based on the foundation that PS1 introduced and don't get me started on the whole "PS1 style" games that are popular right now. Not all of ps1 games are great and aged well, yes, but still a big portion of them are very good even to this day.
@@BloodringBangeradd die hard trilogy, Alien Trilogy, wipeout 2097, legend of dragoon, suikoden, dragon warrior, tekken, armoured core, vandal hearts, etc so many good games, Rayman, broken sword, discworld etc
Yeah, PS1 has a far superior game library than the original Xbox.
Everyone who said "F-Zero GX" in chat when Gamecube was mentioned are true people of culture.
for me it’s Mario Strikers ! they need to port it or remaster it
@@Hypno_BPM doesn't wii have one mario strikers game?

Yo I've been waiting so fucking long for another F-Zero game. I played GX way too much. I broke 2 controllers trying to beat the story missions.

The PS3 brought Bluray game disks to gaming, along with free online playing with no subscriptions. Defo deserves a higher score.
It came out at 600$ compared to the 200$ Xbox 360 and 300$ Wii. Also Blu-ray was super irrelevant as people had a DVD collection when it released. Very niche. Free online was cool but it also got hacked and many people had to get new credit cards.
Online gaming has always been free. Consoles ruined online gaming forever...
@@beanwithbacon not true Xbox live and World of Warcraft were paid subscription online services
@@drizzho The only time you needed to pay for playing online was with MMOs. The only console that ever did online properly was the Dreamcast and it's online play was free. Consoles ruined online gaming forever.
@@drizzho The PS3 Slim and Super Slim came out with cheaper prices and more efficient power consumption. Only the original release PHAT was $600 because it had the on-board PS2 chips for backwards compatability and the non backwards comp. PS3 PHAT had price decreases over time. The Slim and Super Slim cost $299 at release and by 2010 - 2011 the Super Slim could be bought for $199.99 or even $159.99 when on sale, so the "price" problem is irrelevant especially when the Slim and Super Slim were so cheap. Also, the PS3 can play regular DVD's and it can play music CD's, its not just a Bluray drive.
Edit: I also can comfirm too, I have a PS3 on my TV stand right in front of me. I can watch HD Bluray movies on it, play music and even UA-cam still works on it. The damn thing even has a web browser built in.
in Europe the PS2 and WII are multiple tiers above the rest. Everyone had a PS2 and WII, while the other old consoles on the list are limited to dedicated gamers here. I don't think we will ever see a console dominate the market share like the ps2 did in its prime. there were still games being developed on the console well into the PS3's lifetime.
Every store that sold games had many shelves of PS2 games, you would be lucky to spot more than 2 rows of xbox or nintendo games in that era.
Everyone had a PS2 in europe because you could easily pirate games and it had a shit ton of games so it was an incredible value.
That's almost the same in the states. PS2 and Wii were huge
Fornite is popular

Popular does not mean good.
@@gonzalo2694 PS2 is the best console of all time.
These comments are some of the dumbest i have ever seen
-Silot
99,9% of the people buying the console had no knowledge of piracy. Dedicated gamers did not push the PS2 into the limelight, it was a combination of hardware excellency, predating all other consoles of it's own generation by atleast 1 year (GameCube and Xbox), backwards compatability with PS1 (games and joystick), being a DVD platform for audio and movies. The casuals are what sold the console.
-Gonzalo
Horrible analogy. Fortnite is just another product in a long line of almost identical BR's in a very saturated market, there is little innovation, but it's better than its predecessors which are just early-acces asset flips (like Pubg or H1) so that's not really that impressive. PS2 and WII had no competition in their respective markets and they were also excellent products, designed well and were innovative in their own ways. If you don't like something, make a compelling argument against it, instead of trying to associate it with something that is completely irrelevant.
That being said, there is no argument here, The PS2 is objectively the best console. When asmon says that "having a PS2 is being ahead of the curve" he is ironically wrong, because almost nobody didn't have it, you were behind the curve if you didn't have a PS2.
As an American I can say this: Only an American would put a master system at d tier.

Game cube and ps2 and Xbox 360 were PEAK gaming. Ahead of the time. Best games EVER made. So good as an adult I still own them all and play them REGULARLY.

Ps2 was the decline
5:50...lol dude it was $199...I bought one as a 16 year old kid with my own paycheck.
Yeah bro he was so wrong about everything he said about that system including the score a-s tier all the way. It had way better graphics than anything that came out before and a solid line up of sports games, arcade quality ports and exclusives for the one year it was available.
@jimwhittaker4137 It had basically ps2 graphics and that came after imo. When I saw soul caliber and couldn't tell the difference between it and the arcade my mind was blown. I hate, hate HATE sports games but even I liked the 2k, 2k1 etc sports games. S tier all the way for me also.
Actually the Dreamcast was priced very appropriately even for 1999. It was $199.99 in 1999
Yeah this changes his entire argument.
Exactly. It was the anticipation for PS2 that made the Dreamcast fail. The console itself was really good though

Sega Saturn is my favorite system. There are so many great games on it. Panzer Dragoon Trilogy, Guardian Heroes, Clockwork Knight 1 & 2, Astal, Nights into Dreams, Rayman, Burning Rangers, Sega Rally, Virtua Cop 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 1 & 2, Dragon Force, Mega Man 8, Mega Man X4, Mr. Bones, Shinobi Legions, Decathlete, Die Hard Arcade, Bug! 1& 2, Earthworm Jim 2, and many, many, more. The Saturn was far more successful in Japan and had 700 plus exclusive releases in that region. I am still discovering great Saturn games to this day. I won't deny how badly Sega handled the system, but the games are fantastic.

PS3 was great too, it wasn't such a big step from the ps2, but the graphics did improve a lot over the years of it's lifespan. PS3 had great games too, like Last of us, Uncharted, God of war. Good memories from that console too
it genuinely makes me happy that asmon loves secret of mana
it was my very first video game and ive played it for literally two decades man it changed my life completely and it always made me happy when someone i like loves it because i rarely had any friends or any friends that knew about secret of mana even as an adult
The game holds a special place in my heart and one of the most important things in my life

Ps2 is my all time favourite console. Not only did it have some of the best games, but it also had incredible graphics, and amazing hardware for the time. And it was backwards compatible, my favourite games from ps1 (i never played the ps1) could be played on my ps2.
Also a DVD player when those were mega expensive
It had the worst hardware of all the consoles out at that time. So you're objectively incorrect
It also had online play with that attachment. Socom and FF11 all day!
I payed $5 for my PS2 brand new. Went to an arcade and it was one of the prizes. I would later on go and spend $85 winning an Ipod Nano for my sister.
@solsek7 I had a card for the arcade you could only put $50 on it max, the first machine I used it one was $5 a turn and I got the PS2 on first attempt, the ipod took a few more...
I dusted off my ps2 few weeks ago just for it to break after 1 week, now while everyone is going to buy ps5, im trying to find ps2
The Sega Master System is an A tier console for me. I grew up with it here in Australia.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Wonderboy in Monsterland, Ghouls n Ghosts and Shinobi were amongst my favorite games. There were many others that I loved too.
Master System was massive everywhere except the US. Whilst NES and SNES dominated there and in Japan, pretty much everywhere else the Master System and Mega Drive dominated.
@@FuuuckOffff Didn't Brazil sell Mastersystems deep into the 2000s? It's absolute insanity.
People forget the revival the PS3 had towards the end of that generation vs the Wii and 360. It was outselling the 360 hugely I believe for the last few years before the next gen consoles. It had a rough start but really wasn't a bad console in the end.
We shouldn't have to wait for a product to be good at the end of its life span. A product should be ready to go on release or they shouldn't released it until it was. That's the kind of attitude that has made EA, Activision, and Bethesda think it's okay to treat us the way they do.
@@nathanwilliams9544 End of its lifespan wasn't really accurate from myself it was a long while before that. Nevertheless it did have a rough start. It's a bit of a reach you're making comparing it to EA etc. The PS3 wasn't a broken and unusable product at any point. If anything the hardware issues Asmon mentioned that the 360 was plagued with is closer to your comparison.
i had a Wii at the time and what made me get a 360 over a PS3 was easily the price. no way was i going to drop $700+ on a console with just a couple of decent games. but now that i have a ps4 i use PS Now to play some of the games i missed from the PS3
@NoNoNoNii No doubt man. That generation was a special time, online gaming really took off into the mainstream during that era. I was always playing on PC anyway but it was for sure a breakthrough era.
Ps3 was fucking garbage,
PS2, my first console. So many games and great line ups. Last of the great EA sports games etc
The worst thing of having little cousins is that I had to give them all my ps2 games (and the ps2) when I got my ps3...

Nintendo may miss every once in awhile but more often than not they knock it out of the park
They aren't afraid to innovate and change things up too. It's good to have at least one of the big names doing that to keep things fresh.
Not really.. they release the same titles every generation and the fan boys buy it (not much of a selection). They never have any good sales in the online market. The graphics are doo-doo. And the online is still to this day booty. Super Nintendo, N64 & GameCube are the only solid ones. The Wii was innovative but not much online and terrible graphics. The Wii U is F tier, the switch is cool but an upgraded Wii U.
@@megalodontooth1017 Nintendo is great as adapting games to their technologies so yes, they release Mario on every console but each is innovative by the technology like how Mario 64 pioneered how 3d games should be with an analog stick and camera movement.
Like Disney, Nintendo is more about experience. Less tangible, harder to understand. Sony and Microsoft are more about entertainment, more like Transformers movies.
@@megalodontooth1017 yet they are incredibly successful.
Kenny Yee kudos, I do agree with what you said. I just kept cringing at the tier list as he was doing it live because it is extremely bias. But he claims this is the definitive list (probably trolling).
I also bought a switch on a whim in February & dropped 500+ for the extra controller and smash bros. Then proceeded to buy another game in the market place to only find out I needed to purchase a micro SD card for $30.. I only play it when I’m taking a dump or nothing else sounds good..
any suggestions for an additional game to purchase?
You got to respect the fact that he sticks to his personal opinion.
Most of the time when he was highlighting a new console people were literally spamming every single section.
So everytime he made a pick it was bound to make a lot of people mad.
But I can respect that he can support every choice with a bunch of rational arguments.
SNES is the best for me too, really just depends on how old you are though
i mean i didnt grow up with the snes and i can still really appreciate the catalog of great titles on that console
To SF
I never owned a SNES. However, my friend had one and oh boy it had some amazing games. It's the console that I have my foundest memories of with games like Turtles in time, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 3 and lets not forget Super Mario Kart.
Same
yep snes
You almost have to divide them in categories of fun factor, innovation and design. So many variables.
I have to say, nostalgia plays a big part, I remember being 4 years old playing melee and absolutely loving it, and therefore loved the GameCube. Same thing with the 360 with halo 3 when I was 12.
Ya but you can also objectivly rate the console, i personaly make fun of Smash but Meele and GameCube have to this day big eSport events yearly. Sure there are for any kind of fighting game small events but Smash meele on the gamecube still alot of people.

@@UltimateGamerCC I agree the PS2 was better, but if that's your reasoning for PS1 being A class, then after Asmon ranked the SNES an S-class (I agree with that) then he should have ranked the other nintendo consoles in A too.
But that's pointless coz you can have multiple consoles from one creator be S-class.
Its not S-tier. Im sorry
S-Tier are godlike consoles.
PS1 was awesome. I had one, i LOVED crash bandicoot, tekken, resident evil 2, tony hawks, GT, medievil, spyro, digimon world, dino crysis, final fantasy....
but no, even if i love them, they had not a chance against the incredible masterpieces of the Nintendo 64. It was another level.
Sure the catalog was awesome, the prices were good. But you had more quantity over quality, not saying bad quality, in fact was very good, but Nintendo 64 not only was a much more powerfull console, it had some of the best games in the history of the videogames.
I love more PS1 than PS2, and i also put PS2 as an S.
I think Asmongold loves too much Nintendo Gamecube, which is an A for me. I would only put in S rank: Super nintendo, Nintendo 64 and PS2.
Maaaan I loved my Dreamcast, I still remember beating my brothers egotistical friend so badly in Power Stone 2 that he broke his hand punching the wall xD
Good discussion of each console, detailed and nostalgic
Hours of 15 year old me playing Shen Mu on Dreamcast were some of my fondest gaming memories. It taught me about social interaction (no joke), and it had a forklift simulator before job simulators were cool.

AngryJoe's Xbox One rant series is still some of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time.
I'd argue the Wii U's real flop point wasn't the marketing as everyone says. It certainly didn't help, but I think what screwed it was how singleplayer-focused it was.
If you look at how the Switch was able to compete with Xbox and Playstation, it's because it's perfectly designed for social gatherings. Same thing goes for the Wii. The other consoles have been focusing more on technology and online experiences for a while now, and that's what lets Nintendo still be so successful; it completely dominates that party demographic.
The Wii U, on the other hand, made it actively difficult to play in-person multiplayer. When they lose that social aspect, what's the use of a console with weaker technology and much worse online functionality? It's only purpose was as a handheld, but it was so chunky it was awful at that too. The Switch functions as both a console AND a handheld 20x better.
Homie is missing out on great exclusive games on PS3 (infamous, LittleBigPlanet etc) plus Sony really turned around the PS3 and it did outsell the 360 at the end
Sega Master System was big in Europe and Oceania. Loved mine.
45:24 because of the joystick drifting in both joycon and pro controller that didn't got repaired in the switch relaunches and Nintendo still saying that's its a myth. It deserves that spot
Gamecube was the most underrated console of all time tbh. SO many games slapped HARD. you got Melee, Kirby air ride, Super Mario Sunshine, mario kart double dash, fucking THOUSAND YEAR DOOR, wind waker, Twilight Princess, and my personal favorite to this day, Soul calibur fucking 2. GOAT
I think I played SC2 and Melee two hours a day for like 3 years with my room mate. We thought we were really good 😂
my whole family had ps2s all the way until like 2010s, they used em alot as dvd players but they all had the best games too i loved it

How are you amazed I expected it to be where it is or even higher
Yeah bloodbourne machine 🙄……..also god of war, ghost of Tsushima, horizon, last of us pretty much every relevant exclusive during the last generation lol gtfho
I would have made an very similar tier list. Didn't expect asmon to have these opinions.
@@__-fi6xg so you thought a cave dweller like Asmon would have just started playing video games on a PC? 😂😂😂
Xbox 360 reigned as supreme king of online gaming. Exclusive halo franchise, exclusive gears of war franchise. And even though a lot of games weren't exclusive people forget that all the serious online gamers were on 360 so games like call of duty might as well have been 360 exclusive. The first youtube era of gaming was played entirely on 360 for this reason. Every console included a microphone headset so everyone had one. It is definitively better than the PS4 for its time period.
"Wii U is worst selling Nintendo console"
Looks over at Virtual Boy and N64DD
I feel like the Wii U was missed potential. You look at a game like Mario Maker and just how well utilized the game pad was and could probably come up with some cool interesting ideas for some games. Had some great first party games as always where most of them are being ported to the switch now because nobody played them.
You would search Wii U games and there like 10 of them at launch and only one maybe worth playing

Amson is such a casual when it comes to the technology of console/PC hardware.
The Dreamcast was NOT expensive, it was was £199 on launch day in the UK which was extremely cheap. The PS2 was £299 when it launched and had a much weaker GPU than in the Dreamcast, but the PS2's CPU was faster and it had double the main ram (32MB v 16MB).
@@Greenleaf_ Was it the hardware then right?
To be fair, the experience that an XBOX player has today is 1000 times better than at launch. And I honestly think that they are the ones better positionated for the next gen with Game Pass and the amount of studios that they are adding to their first party line up.
When you put PS1 below S it's a failed list
PS2: Had a dvd player, had a dvd player, oh and it had a dvd player.
Also, it had a dvd player. And it also had a dvd player.
Bro, memories were rekindled when you mentioned your SNES games
Same here
I always wanted a SNES, and actually prayed to God for it, never got it. I kid in the neighbourhood had it with SMW, Castlevania, Probotector, F-Zero and that game that came bundled with the bazooka light gun. Everybody wanted to be his friend to come in and play or watch his dad ace all the games
The game boy advanced attachment bumped up the GameCube for me back then and even now. It was mind blowing for me being able to play my game boy advance games on the big screen tv back then. And it didn’t attach some awkward device to the side of the console it was neatly fitted at the bottom and didn’t take up any extra space which was a plus for me.
PS1 should be S tier because it has Castlevania: SOTN
PS1 had more titles than any other system should have been S rank
my favorite ps1 game was croc legend of the gobbos
Some of mine were gran truismo, arc the lad collection, xenogears, suikoden 1 & 2, lunar 1 & 2, megaman legends 1 & 2, FF 7, FF9, FF tactics, and breath of fire 4 just to name a few
ps1 had the most games any system i love my gamecube but ps1 is way better
Ps1 had ff7, tekken, metal gear solid, need for speed, grand turismo, frogger, spyro, final fantasy tactics, tomb raider, twisted metal.. just to name a few. Sony killed nintendo as far as im concerned.
SNES is the best of all time. Absolute masterpiece and closet to a perfect console.
Killer Instinct was so legendary
Ps1 had more games but both were pretty equal asmon doesnt know what he was talking about, also SNES was not the 1st system to have a 4 player adapter like asmon said it was the original NES
You forgot NeoGeo. Graphics were amazing for the time. But was expensive.
tbh there’s so many “bootleg” consoles from the 80’s and 90’s it’s not possible to cover them all in one short video.
Brian M Neo Geo was anything but bootleg.
Brett the Wilder yeah man. Graphics wise, it dominated anything else in the market. Graphics were definitely arcade game quality. But yeah the price was ridiculous.
Brett the Wilder lmao touché
20:40 made me tear up a bit not gonna lie. Having to make whatever you had work was what gave me the "never give up" attitude. I remember playing through Digimon World 3 and one day the screen went completely blue whilst playing it, not being able to save or see a single thing but you could still walk around. I lost around 20 hours of progression, literally cried so much because of it. After a week or so of contemplating breaking the disc, I decided to replay it and make sure I saved regularly on multiple memory cards and man did it feel good once I completed the game!
This list is entirely spot-on except for the PS3 ranking, the exclusive games on that thing were so incredible that 90% of them got re-released for the PS4.
that's half true imo, the reason they were re-released was because they were great and because the ps4 had almost nothing to play at launch lmao
dude the ps3 was so far ahead in terms of hardware at the time. There were supercomputers made of that shit. It was insane.
Ps3 had online gaming completely free. Compared to xbox360. Also at release, it was the cheapest blue-ray player u could get and blue ray became the standart Nothing like HD-DVD the xbox supported. Rating ps3 below x360 is bullshit.
Aside from the exclusives almost any other third-party game ran like shit on the PS3. Just watch comparison videos lol
People don't still play ps2 games today? MGS2 & 3, GTA:SA, Silent Hill 2, FFX & XII, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Devil May Cry 3, Ratchet and Clank etc.
I agree with most of this. SNES and PS1 however, had the best rpgs. So ps1 is also S tier for me.
GameCube had cool 4 controllers, ssbm, luigis mansion, Mario Cart double dash, Zelda wind walker, Zelda twilight princess, pikmin, spyro, metroid, Mario party, Mario sunshine, Pokémon collosseum and xd, it had the possibility to connect with Gameboy advance and was portable. BUT the wii had all that (literally a GameCube inside it) AND more
The Switch is an S for me purely based on the quality of its titles and seemless portability and home console swapping, but I’ll downgrade it to an A because the joy cons get joystick drift so often. I’ve went through around 7 or 8 replacements combined between both joy sticks since it came out. Thankfully it’s pretty cheap and not that hard to fix on your own so I didn’t need to deduct even more points.
I would absolutely love for Nintendo to make an actual console that has the same hardware specs as modern consoles. Imagine seeing new Nintendo ip’s with the same quality as some ps5 exclusives or Xbox series ones.
GameCube is actually more powerful then the PS2 by a decent amount.
Super Nintendo was one of the best. The games were awesome. I mean a lot of consoles were great, but it stepped up a lot from the previous consoles. And the games were challenging and simplistic. I miss when games didn't tell you everything. You just figured it out.
Preach!!!! Now every game holds your fucking hand it’s basically a walkthrough simulator so damn lame.
Dreamcast was ahead of its time and had a ton of amazing games, it was $200 at launch - I think Asmon was thinking about Sega Saturn which was $400. Comparatively PS2/XBOX was $300, N64/Gamecube $200, Wii $250, X360 $300/400, PS3 $500/600.
It's at least an A tier.
I really want to see asmon play some old games or something, sounds like a great time
PS3 was my first blueray player. It was also cheaper than most blueray players.
The N64 changed the gaming industries way more then some people might remember. My personal favorite so much awesome games
Still remember being 6 years old walking into blockbuster in late 1995-early 1996 and it was just sitting there on display with Mario 64 for demo. I tried it and my life changed forever lol I had to have it
I think the controller is underrated too. you change the way you hold it depending on the game, but 99% of the time you hold the middle and right stem. I think all the people complaining and acting confused about the controller literally forgot how 2nd nature it was to pick up and play with it. it was my first console when i was 5 and i was not confused on how to hold it.
Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSX was my intro to LOVING/no-lifing games, and Warcraft 2 on PSX was my intro to the Warcraft universe and Blizzard games in general. PSX number one for me!
Very good list, however. Two thumbs up!
PS2 + The Simpsons Hit and Run = My Childhood
My mom loved me so I had GTA
Durt Cobain fuck you
@@addisonstriker1700 fuck you
Dreamcast would have done well if it didnt lose it's licensed sports games. the sales from sports games would have carried the life cycle further and gave them the opportunity and time to keep development going for other types of games.
i skipped to the end to make sure i saw GameCube in S tier.
Snes has done of the greatest games ever made, and they all aged perfectly today. Awesome.

i had a nes, snes and 64 as a kid but playing gta3 that first time completely changed gaming, was like nothing ever experienced from a game before
This dudes crazy with his switch placement
TRUE, Should be high A or low/mid S imo
@@Sanderke123 ??? It is easily a D or F tier the switch. Controllers that is small and flimsy with poor range, only 1080p and have games still lagging, awful online service compared to other consoles, a pro controller is twice the price of an xbox controller??? A design they stole from xbox..
Battery life is only 3 hours and the screen is made of plastic that is easy to scratch.
There is good games on the switch but the console itself is a WiiU 2.0. Terrible console that will be obsolete when switch pro/2 comes in 2021...
@@adahepper2665 nice bait
ADA Hepper imagine paying 70 dollars for flimsy plastic controllers that break in months. Not to mention the switch has a 720p screen and like you stated game still have horrible frame rates. All that being said, I still bought one and love it
@@johnmadden6521 The games on the switch is great, some solid titles on it but the console itself is utter trash.
Good that they will release a switch that is 4k ready next year or so. Hopefully it is non portable so they can really put some real power in it.
The switch should never been a portable device, it should have been separated from the start so the Switch lite should have been the only portable device.
I still play phantasy Star online on GameCube. You know a real grind if you’ve played that shit
You have to rate x360 higher for innovation. they introduced online play in a big way, introduced installing discs to run games of the hdd, xbox live arcade and the birth/boom of the indie games. Digital store. The controller
My personal favorite is the N64.
The SNES, N64, and Dreamcast all had online play way before the first Xbox did.
This man put Dreamcast at a C? He lost all credibility.
A lot of times I feel like he is just too young to know what he's talking about. I'm 36 years old and I realize that a 30 year old is actually too young to have played any of these devices during their hey-day. The things he said about Game Gear are just flat-out wrong. My sister and I used to fight over who got it because of the fact that it had rechargeable batteries, whereas the Game Boy did not, and during road trips, this meant the difference between having a game system you could play the entire duration of the trip, and having one that you could only play during daylight since it wasn't backlit, and for a brief time period before the batteries would completely die. Don't even get me started on him acting like the computers shown were "stone age." For their time period they were light years ahead. I remember every kid on our block coming over to watch us play video games that would be re-released 10 years later on future consoles since they were that far ahead of their time and basically the pioneers for what kids play now.
No. Lack of games and no game anywhere near the perfection of a SMW, FF7 or OoT. While the NES didn't have a game reaching this level of perfection (except SMB3, but it came really late in its livespan) but it had *the* most innovative games of any console. Nothing can seriously claim to be even comparable to it. I think it's fair.
If you look back through the dreamcast library about 90% of the games are just arcade ports. I don't think it had very high appeal over all due to the limited selection. There are definitely a few gems in there though.
Not making PS1 S teir made him lose all credibility period as a 37 yr old who started on NES at 5 yrs old and played all the systems as they came out thought my childhood and beyond
The first three console games I ever got were Super Mario Land, F-Zero and Street Fighter 2. Those are INSANE titles. After that I got A Link to the Past. Well deserved first place.
Puts Wii U in D-tier
Me: *Hey U,are Wii going to have a problem*
Funny
My earliest video game memories are of the Sega Genesis with Paper Boy and Road Rash.. Was definitely a good console for it's time.
Road rash was the shit
Everyone knows PS2 is S tier but PC is God tier
Nintendo exclusives are the best exclusives. Other console exclusives FEEL like you might as well just play on a PC
I agree a big time with Asmons list The Wii was very good!!!!!!
It actually was a GameCube plus more. You could literally play all GameCube games on the wii
AND u could use GameCube controllers on it as well
Personally I think the wii should be an S
@@alexanderjeromewhite2380 right man among list
tbh i literally only used my wii because my gamecube was broken, i don't see any notable titles other than galaxy and even that was kinda meh to me. But of course opinions differ
I grew up on the GameCube (and the Wii) and Super Mario Sunshine is easily one of my all-time favorite games
xbox 360 should be S for its gamescore system
Its still really silly to me that people care about that lol.
But yeah it seems kinda silly to put a console with two widespread fatal errors in S.
@@EbonMaster ok but it deserves atleast an A .
@@worstgraphics3998 ok true but miles aways from ps2
@@worstgraphics3998
Agreed. It's definitely an A console.
360 was awesome in so many ways, so many great games. Still going for gamerscore in 2020
I got my ps2 on the 28th of December 2007, pretty late but those were the greatest gaming years of my life without a shadow of a doubt
PS1 = My Life
@Andrew Stevenson ps1 was good no matter what age you are.
I never grew up with it myself, but some of my favourite games were on there that i played on the backwards compatible ps2. Tomb raider 1- 3, metal gear solid. Legit some of the best games of all time.
The SEGA Nomad was just a Genesis that was portable. Played straight up genesis games. My parents gave me one for Christmas 1996 and I used to take it on family trips. Super awesome.

*AND 100 OTHER GREAT GAMES*
Wii U is the best console of all time. No doubt. Try to change my mind just a tiny bit.
Honestly it’s too hard to pick a favorite. I had great memories with Super Nintendo, N64, ps1, ps2, and xbox 360. If I had to pick one that I had the most fun on, probably N64.
N64 with banjo was probably my favorite. Banjo&kazooie BanjoTooie was probably one of the best adventure mode games in that generation.
It also brought F-Zero which was a great game for it's time.
Mario (DUH)
Pokemon stadium (2)
there are some more obviously but i believe the games on the N64 were simple but also not simple. I hate that my stepmom got rid of my N64 with banjo because dammit i want to play that again.
Those two gamed literally owned my childhood for probably 2 years.
Can play both banjo kazooie and tooie on the Xbox one rare replay collection, or on the Nintendo switch online membership for n64! Just letting you guys know! Such good games in my opinion as well
