What are the 8 most classic consoles? 3 most iconic games from each one?

I'm planning to make an amazing gaming setup when I eventually move (not all that far away now that I have a steady job). I want to have a big selection of older games along with my PC and current gen consoles. I do realize that emulators are an option, but I would like to actually have the real thing for most of these.

NES:

Super Mario Bros.

Legend of Zelda

Super Mario Bros. 3

 

SNES:

Super Mario World

Super Metroid

Earthbound

 

N64:

Super Mario 64

Super Smash Bros.

Ocarina of Time

 

Can't really help with the Sony/Sega/Atari stuff as I've always been a Nintendo/Microsoft guy.

 

If you do consider the GCN/PS2/Xbox era to be classic then:

 

Gamecube:

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Eternal Darkness

 

Xbox:

Halo 2

Fable

Star Wars: Battlefront II

 

I will agree that while emulators are an option, having the real thing is just so satisfying. It's just so nice being able to look at your massive library.

Ehh, I'd disagree on Kirby and Wario Ware. Instead, I'd probably put Golden Sun and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga up instead.

 

Though, the GBA does have tons of excellent games for it, like the Advance Wars series, Mega Man Battle Network series, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Fire Emblem, the Legacy of Goku series, Boktai, Metroid Fusion, and Minish Cap.

As an added bonus too, GBA (as well as GB/GBC) games can still be collected even in a console-focused collection thanks to the Gamecube's Game Boy player, allowing one to play all their games on the big screen. I will note from personal experience though, that playing Wario Ware Twisted on the Game Boy Player is very weird.

I own a copy of Twisted, and now I'm going to have to go over and borrow my friend's Gamecube to try this out lmao.

Halo 2 was legendary more because of its multiplayer than its singleplayer, imo, which is why I'd use your list, but replace Halo 2 with Halo: CE.

 

Also, owning a physical Xbox is technically your only option because Xbox emulation on PC is incredibly far behind other platforms in its generation. Most Xbox games have never even been successfully emulated. However, emulation is so far behind because its far easier to just mod an Xbox to store an unholy library of games and even run emulators for older consoles right off of the Xbox itself.
