What do you think is the most overrated retro console?

Nintendo 64 without question.

Besides Nintendo, and a few other major developers majority of software released by third-party were terrible.

The NES for the reason another poster listed. Now don't get me wrong. The NES is a great system, very important to video game history, and still a blast to play. But there is a lot of over priced crap for the console that only goes for a fortune because its very rare or made it onto a Youtube Video. And while not as bad as the Atari there is still a ton of shovelware garbage on the system. I have an NES..and all I own for it is Dragon Warrior 1, Mario bros/Duck hunt, and Tetris. Its just a pain in ass console to collect for.

I can see why the Dreamcast is overrated even if I don't agree but who thinks the DC is over priced collecting wise? Dreamcast is still one of the easiest and cheapest "retro" consoles to get into. A lot of the games worth having a DC for are under 30 bucks and a complete work system can be had for 25-50.
