    Hmm, well I could say the Gameboy Micro, but I've never owned one so I can't really talk about that... if it had to be one I owned, it would have had to been the Gameboy Advance. Honest, that thing was so clunky =/... I was glad that my light from my Gameboy Color worked for that system too, but it was like...literally looking at a dark screen.

    For me it was the Super Nintendo. Mainly because of the multiple attempts it took for me to even start a game with it. The cartridges got really dusty quickly and cleaning them and putting them in and out of the game slot was very tedious sometimes. Though that wasn't even my issue most of the time. The cable for our SNES console was worn out over the years, so the plug has to be adjust to the right degree in order for the console to even turn on. Sometimes it can take a minute to over half an hour just to set it up. Don't get me wrong, I loved playing games on it, its just that my technical experiences with the console in general weren't that great.

    My least favorite is the Super Nintendo, when I had my console it always got dirty and dusty no matter where it was in the house and no matter what I did. Also, sometimes my console would randomly freeze especially in Super Mario.

    I would probably say the Virtual Boy, even though I've never owned one myself. Just from watching other sources review the thing, it looked as though it was very uncomfortable and disorienting to play. And as the Angry Video Game Nerd mentioned in a video of his, the physical structure of the Virtual Boy must have made finding somewhere to sit and comfortably play it a little awkward. Even watching someone else play Mario Clash on an emulator, the black-and-red graphics are a bit of an eyesore. ;;

    Hmm... out of the ones I have, it is probably the original DS. It's kinda ugly and clunky. :P The only other Nintendo consoles I have are DS Lite, 3Ds (broken), Wii, and original GameBoy.

    At first I didn't think I have one, but then I realized that the Virtual Boy was a Nintendo console... Yeah, that thing was pretty much an atrocity in every possible way, no doubt. Although if you look at it from a joking perspective, it's actually a really good console!

    I'm going to go with the original DS. The neck snapped so easily and was so bulky compared to other systems.

    Out of the ones I've owned, I'll have to say the Gameboy Advance. Most of the games were kinda in that wierd point in game graphics development where most thinks looked awkward and had strange outlines. Most games I played on it had clunky controls as well, which really isn't fun... >.<

    The SNES, for the reasons Bloom already stated.

    The GCN wasn't that great (except for the controller). I've played every single Nintendo console to date (except the VirtualBoy), and I'm not saying the GCN was a terrible console, it was just fairly mediocre. There was no innovation to it, besides it being the first Nintendo console to take disks instead of cartridges; but even then, it wasn't innovative, because other consoles utilized that technology long before the GCN (like Sega CD). I also remember the GCN not coming with a memory card when I got it. I was pretty upset about that at the time.

    It's kinda difficult because I liked all the consoles I did play on and can't really judge the ones I haven't played, haha ;; Would probably have to go with the original DS, though. It was the only Nintendo console I ever purchased used; the battery life wasn't that great and it was big af. I never had problems with the neck breaking, but then I only owned it for about a year, as I ended up buying a DS Lite. (The neck has snapped on that, but it took a few years; I already had my 3DS by the time it happened, too.)
