No, maybe it's because I grew up with a Famiclone (that looked exactly like the japanese Famicom), but when I first saw the NES I thought it was bulky for no reason. My friend was like "I have the Nintendo! the original!" and when I went to his house and saw his sister playing SMB3, I didn't even notice a difference with my good ol' Family Game, and wondered why it needed to be so big compared to my cute little machine that could play the same games.
Later I learned that my console was a bootleg, etc. I still have a warm spot for it (and its many bootleg games) on my heart.

I do prefer the original NES over the top loader though.

Seriously. This is the motherboard. Look at all that wasted space.

But that said I really like the boxy stormtrooper design.

Honestly one of the best looking consoles of all time.

I never noticed how the N64 looks similar to the original 3DO.
I honestly think the N64 is one of the best looking consoles. The controller may be wacky but the console deck itself is classy.

Only way the N64 could had been better would be top labels for the carts.

At least they were honest with the design.

>>3216447
That looks like shit, and the controllers look even worse

I always preferred the design of the NES-001 over the HVC-001, but why the fuck did they went for a spring-loaded cartridge slot?

I've admired the aesthetics of the PC-FX when I first saw one in person at a convention, I immediately fell in love with its design (didn't play any games though).

In retrospect, I wonder why more manufacturers didn't utilize a tower design for their consoles.
