What's your favorite console to collect for? (self.gamecollecting)

Hey folks, r/gamecollecting is/was one of my favorite subs, so I would love to see a community for it here! Let's start building this space with an easy question for discussion: what's your favorite console to collect for?

Personally, I really enjoy collecting for Xbox 360. Games are inexpensive and easy to find, there are lots of good exclusives, non-exclusives tend to be similar or better for the 360, and the controller design is simply excellent. My favorite game so far is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. It has some issues, but it's generally a fun and engaging game.

Which console do you prefer collecting for and why?

I've been huge on collecting NES lately. It was the first system I ever played, so I guess it has that nostalgia factor for me. I'm at 392 games so far, not sure I'll ever hit a full set but it's fun to slowly head that way. I miss being able to find random games cheap at yard sales, flea markets, etc. Wouldn't be such an easy system to collect for now!

In more recent years I've also branched out into Famicom and Famicom Disk System games. You don't see them often in the US, but it's really exciting when you do! I actually just grabbed a complete FDS Kid Icarus a couple of days ago from a local game store.

Damn, 392 games just for NES is impressive! Any hidden gems that you would recommend?

I don't think I've even seen a Famicom in person. That's pretty niche but also cool.
