This is a lot of it right here. The original controllers for the PS1 were pretty solid built. All the Shock controllers feel about the same to me with the exception of the new PS4 ones which feel pretty great.

The PlayStation controllers never truly bothered me it's just the D-Pad (Until DS4) felt very displeasing to use. To me it caused finger cramps in games like Mega Man X4 where precision is a must. Built-wise these controllers will survive being thrown down a flight of stairs or a couple games of Wipeout.

Favorite system as far as the best games and holds the test of time, by far SNES. The 16-Bit age is timeless, many NEW games are made to have this look because it is so timeless. Games from the PS1 and N64 days have some great games but most don't age well due to their early polygon graphic's. I love Zelda Ocarina of Time but man the early polygon graphics look dated today. Yet the ones that used more Pixel graphics hold up better and far as graphics go.
I always had a soft spot for The Atari 2600 just due to it was my first game console.
I also love my Neo Geo consoles, and Turbo Grafx. If I plug one of those in I'll be using it for hours.

As for game exclusives... (many of these games technically have been released on later platforms such as GBA, NDS, nintendo E-store. etc but I'm going by exclusives as of when they came out) :P

1. Super Mario World
2. Legend of Zelda Link Between Words

5. Final Fantasy III
6. Super Mario Kart
7. Super Castlevania IV

18. Star Fox
19. Castlevania Dracula X
20. Kirby's Dream Land 3

This is the first console that was truly my own. I saved up enough to buy it when the price dropped to ~$160. I use to play a lot of shooters back in the day and this system had a pretty good selection to choose from. I never really had an issue with slow down, but at times the scan lines would make everything disappear (R-Type boss fights) or the sound card would favor the explosions over the music (Super Star Soldier drums cut out when enemies are shot).

I never had the cash for the cd attachment back then, so I'm sticking to the huCards here.

1. Alien Crush
2. Aero Blasters (sort of: Air Buster on Genesis, arcade name)
3. Blazing Lazers
4. Bonks Revenge
5. Bravoman
6. Devils Crush
7. Dragon Spirit
8. Galaga '90
9. Legendary Axe
10. Legendary Axe II
11. Ninja Spirit
12. Order of the Griffon (many maps and bum passwords that didn't work here)
13. Parasol Stars (still pissed I cut the barcode off to enter a high score contest that had no outcome)
14. Psychosis
15. R-Type
16. Sidearms
17. Soldier Blade
18. Splatter House
19. Super Star Soldier
20. Veigues Tactical Gladiator

The bad thing about these old games is that 80% on this list can be beat in under an hour.

I gotta say gamecube. Simply it's just the system I spent the most time with both single player and multilayer with friend. Lots of time play smash and Mario Kart, and even bringing it to high school and having a huge group of friends and even a couple of teachers play Soul Caliber 2 after school. And the GA Player allows me to also include the game boy series in my choice. :P
