What's your favourite console/system for playing Sonic?

Megadrive.
Because it's the original formats, the games are on cartridges which means they're easier to change than discs and the controller is simple, large enough to hold and well designed.

 

It doesn't really matter to me. :/ PC is convenient for switching games and consoles without having to get up out of my seat or anything, but I like the GCN/Wii for playing in surround sound. I haven't played my Genesis for a while, I think it was sometime last summer, but that works too. I also don't have any of the 3D games on my computer (I do have Sonic R, but I don't have it installed for some reason... lol).

 

PlayStation. Better than PC emulator, better than Genesis.

PC and Xbox 360 please. PC is the most versatile for it, and Xbox 360s have amazing controllers.

 

I'd have to go with the 360 too, since I have all available Sonic games for it already, and I only have to change discs for the recent titles (Heroes and after). Once Adventure comes out on XBLA, hopefully complete with Game Gear games too, it'll only be Sonic CD, Chaotix, Sonic R, SA2, and the handheld games left. Yes, I know I've left out Sonic the Fighters and the Wii games, but I don't care about them.

 

I like playing the core four games on pretty much anything, because they're great games. Great games are great no matter what you play them on (unless they're shitty ports). I think I prefer the PSP for the first two games, though, because it gives me an opportunity to save and quit whenever I want.

Sonic 3D Blast is the one game I prefer playing on Xbox360, because the analog stick actually makes the game a little more playable.

 

DS, because it's my only portable system, and frankly I'm not too bothered by Sonic Classic Collection.

 

The Genesis, because it feels so right. Also, almost every emulated version has some sort of sound issue, which bugs me to no end. Second place would be on a PC with a USB Saturn controller.

 

I would say the original console that each game was released on. It's very easy to find a Sega Genesis online and not too pricey either. As far as remakes go, I liked the feel of the GameCube the best. It was the first non-Sega console to get ports of the older games starting with SA2 and SMC.

 

The way I play them the most often is with the GCN controller, either with Mega Collection or using a GCN to PC converter and Gens. This is mostly because my Genesis is packed away in storage.

I probably do prefer playing them on the Genesis, though. I guess that'd come first, with Mega Collection coming in as a close second.

 

I prefer to play them on the original hardware the best, best controller, sound, everything! That's how they were meant to be enjoyed, but keeping the ol' Genesis hooked up all the time is such a pain. So I usually play them on the (both modded) Wii or PSP as these are usually around and ready to go.

No way I'm going to rebuy them again on the 360, and the DS emulation is not so good and the screen is too small.

 

Original systems, simply because they're the originals and that's how they were meant to be played. I do find the use of emulators much more convenient though, so long as I can use a good controller (IE fuck the 360's d-pad).

 

I prefer playing Sonic Mega Collection (and all the other Sonic Gamecube games) on the Wii using a component cable and surround sound. The quality of picture is just amazing, and the sound quality is a lot better than my Mega Drive, considering it used an old ariel connector, which not only gave it a bad picture, but also projected mono sound.

 

Wii, with Genesis plus. Perfect sound emulation, NTSC filter and silent console just like the original.

Also, for some reason I find playing MegaDrive games with the Nunchuk very enjoyable.

 

Wii for me. I can't honestly say I enjoy playing them on my Genesis, given its lower video resolution and tendency to freeze on me. Still do it occasionally for the nostalgia factor, though.

 

I love the emulation available on the PC, and using a 360 controller. Playing it on a nice LCD, 5.1 surround with a good controller, that's pretty good.

If I had a working Megadrive, I know I would play them from time to time on an old TV, in PAL just for nostalgia.

 

Genesis, followed by DS. Having the classics on your handheld is just great!
Plus, my Genesis can't play Megamix 3.0
