Okay, so I hope no self-respectin nes collector uses an FC Twin or one of those cheap chinese modern nes/snes rip-offs...but ya never know.  My question is what console do you chose do PRIMARILY game with??? not own, or have in the closet, what is the system on hand all the time?? I'll start, Toploader all the way baby!!!

OH, and by next gen I mean like the Messiah NEX or whatever that thing is called...

My original toaster, and recently an SNES I picked up on eBay.

I can't understand why somebody wouldn't buy the genuine article. They're about the same price as the shitty knock-offs, and guess what, they'll work with ALL the games!

toaster, pal snes and ntsc snes

the good old ones

Same toaster I've had since childhood.

There's a pretty recent thread here asking this same question, but I'll answer anyway...

NES games: Clipped front-loading Toaster via AV hook ups
Famicom games: AV Famicom

^^^^ Same for me. I need to move it back in the living room though. It's hooked up to a small screen right now, and it's just not as good without having it fed into my stereo : (

yeah, I guess I should have specified...AV hook ups all the way. I can't stand those damn RF adapters.

Toaster in the bedroom, Toploader in the game room (along with a SNES, Famicom, N64, & Wii).

Top Loader these days. I used to use a clone system, not completely compatible but I never had to fuss with it. They're real cheap and the newer ones (Yobo, etc.) work great, they're not all bad

I have a toaster hooked up to like every TV in the house. Needless to say, my games are absolutely everywhere. So I won't say it.

Top-loader for me, since '93.

Toaster for me (PAL & NTSC). Got a Yobo connected to another tv in another room for some quick gaming some times.

Same toaster I got when I was a kid. Even though I have a top loader. Maybe I'll hook that up in the other room....

Toaster of course... nothing better then the original!

Top loader for me!

I can't stand using Top loader's,I hate the Jail Bars!

Maybe they buy them because they are brand new and you can get them in different colors.  Doesnt the retro duo work with almost all the games the only ones it doesnt play are way rare anyways.

All of those NOAC clones have the same problems with the same games. Quite a few of them aren't all that rare (Castlevania 3 is the biggest example, but I've had problems with Final Fantasy, as well)
And in my experience, saving your game with a battery backup is a risky bet given how those systems operate their reset switch.

Personally, I'd rather have a reliable piece of hardware that's been doing it's job successfully for 20 years, than some cheap POS made by pirates.

primary - toaster
secondary - gen. nex messiah -> when i feel like playing wireless, also can play famicom

I use my frontloader alot. Copynes p-port ftw! And I now have an av fami (wich I also orderd an adaptor for to use nes games on it ) so i'll use that for all my ntsc games.

Top loader. I love it. The jail bars don't bother me that much anymore.

Toaster NES (owned since age of 3 or somthing), SNES with Super Wild Card DX2 hooked up to my Media Center with a full romlist, PS3 and at rare occasions.. my black Wii with Wiikey and wiikey hologram sticker. Looks pr0n. All in that order.

Did you paint the Wii black,Or is it a special edition?

I still got my original toaster from when I was a kid as well as my original games. I am very attached to them. Every time I pop in a game like Zelda II, I just think how many hours I put into this very cartridge. I have other NES systems, but they are just part of the collection.
