Best Console for RE

What do you think is the best console to play RE games?

I'm between PS2 and Wii.

I have both consoles with every game realeased for PSone, PS2, Gamecube and Wii. I'm thinking the Wii is probably the best console for playing RE games:

-RE0 (the Wii version is better, it runs smoothly but I play it best with the gamecube controller, the wii classic controller's analog stick sucks)
-REmake(just like RE0)
-RE2 (port from the PSone version, but with different title screen sound and improved graphics)
-RE3(same as RE2)
-RECVX (It looks better than the PS2 version)
-RE4 (The control of the wiimote is great in this game)
-REUC
-REDS


The Ps2 lacks a lot of the canon games realeased for Gamecube/Wii, most of its RE library are spin-offs that are really worth it, but not compared to the ones of the main storyline.

Any Nintendo system really.

GameCube/Wii

@Ravior: Except for the NES, SNES, N64, DS and 3DS.

Whichever console I like most that the game I want to play is out on.

Actually, there is an RE games for the N64, DS, and 3DS. The 3DS will have two next year.

Yeah, but the fact that they have a few games on it doesn't make it one of the best consoles for RE. Just the Wii or Gamecube are great RE consoles.

I like how quickly this went from "best RE console" to "console with the most RE titles for it".

But still, I don't think Deadly Silence or a RE2 port or Mercs 3D are good enough to make the consoles the best RE console.

A fully backwards compatible PS3 is the best. It's the only system that can play every single main RE game. Plus many of the spinoffs. Argue that.

I think it just depends on preference. I rather play RE0, REmake, DSC and UC than RE5 (even though it is awesome), DA, the outbreaks and Survivor 2.

The Wii is capable of playing 8 RE games in total. Aside from two of them, they are main series games.

The Wii is an RE machine in my books. RE5 is friggin' awesome though, and is the only major RE-ness that the Wii is missing out on.

I'm talking out of ignorance here, can you play PS2 games with a fully backwards compatible PS3 ?

Don't you have to mod your PS3 for that?

I think some versions can while others can't. I know mine can't.

I was just about to say PS3. You can play the most RE games on it making it the best "RE console".

A fully backwards compatible PS3 (the phat 20 and 60gigs) can play any Playstation game. No modding necessary.

well I think that REmake and Zero are important, but..., yeah a fully backwards compatible PS3 would be best, too bad that Capcom kept the exclusivity with Nintendo on those two

A backwards compatible PS3 plays 12 RE games in total, out of which 6 are spinoffs.


Anyway, as for the best console for RE I think it could be the PS3. You won't have a hassle with the controllers as you need only one for the whole console and you can play online with your friends. It is also getting the HD versions of RE4 and CVX and is the only console to get the 15th anniversary box set [link]. You can also watch any of the RE movies with it, whether it is on DVD, Bluray or on the hard drive (portable or the system's). For a collector it is great and for me it's the best way to play the games.

Like I said, I'd rather play RE0, REmake and the chronicles than all those other spin-offs.

Then Wii is the best console for youuuuuuuuu. Not for me, though. I hate that thing

Too bad I don't own a Wii then.

I was a big Nintendo fan.

Why not get one then? :O

I had one long ago, but I was so disappointed with everything about it so I sold it. If I want to play on it, I can go to my friends house. I did that with Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, the RE chronicles and other good Wii games. I hate the controller and stuff. It's shame because the NES, SNES, N64 and GC are some of my favorite consoles and I love Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc.

The controller thing. That is one thing that is pulling the Wii down on the list of consoles best suited for RE.

I think PS3 is the best until now ,about wii I don`t have one and I don`t like it
