the16bitgamer, 
By my definition, the Vita is Retro. In which case that since it can emulate everything I want to play and more.
If I have to go pre 2010 probably a DS or PSP due to the vast library of games I like
Pre 2000… PlayStation 1 or Super Nintendo leaning heavily on PlayStation
Carter, Wii U is probably the safest bet as it can natively play GameCube and Wii games with easy emulation for the rest of the systems.
qyron, Mega Drive
I still have mine.
km3k, I’d have to go with one of the kings of backwards compatibility to have a huge library; the original PS3 for its PS1/PS2 backwards compatibility, GBA SP for its GB/GBC backwards compatibility, or Wii U for its Wii and Virtual Console compatibility. Of those, I’d probably pick Wii U.
catastrophicblues, GBA SP
Damdy, I’d say the gamecube for smash melee mostly, but the first Wii was backwards compatible so there’s literally no downsides to that over GameCube.
randomthin2332, At some point, all consoles will be retro consoles :p
!Gameboy Advance, just so many great games I’m still to play!<
caseyweederman, Specifically AGS101 for the better backlight. I’d say DMG because that’s my favorite, but with the GBA line, I don’t have to pick.
ExfilBravo, PS1 had a bunch of bangers. or N64
Kolanaki, 
Amiga or Commodore 64. If I get bored of the games already around, I can just program my own!
ace_garp, 
Oh yeah, Amiga ftw.
So much gold.
yamanii, 
Probably a PC-engine, been discovering it’s library and it’s extremely pleasing for a weeb.
elbarto777, Its* library.
MajorHavoc, I’m gonna cheat on a technicality, and say “Evercade” which is still getting new cartridge releases. It’s retro, but not vintage.
If I had to go vintage…probably the SNES for multiplayer, but it would hurt a lot not to pick the Gameboy SP.
ShitOnABrick, 
Xbox 360 if that’s to young then prehaps the PS2 or gameboy
killeronthecorner, 
Hearing the 360 referred to as retro physically pains me
elbarto777, Too* young.
papagoose08, 
ColecoVision.
HipsterTenZero, 
Does a personal computer count as retro? im going with that one
yamanii, Doesn’t count as console though.
caseyweederman, Commodore 64
m_r_butts, Asked differently, "what console did you have as a kid?"
NoIWontPickaName, Nah, I had each of them and the SNES was best. Super Mario World, karts, RPG’s.
No SMB3 though :(
m_r_butts, deleted_by_author
NoIWontPickaName, I knew there was a wii version, but not an SNES version.
