Both of these are often touted for the title. In Hexbears opinion, which had the better library of the two and was the better console?

I'm a super Nintendo guy but I love the PS2 as well.

    SNES will always be my favorite. Great controller design. Why does no one else use concave buttons! Really great library a lot of which are stone cold classics that defined genres. But its hard to argue with PS2 as probably the best console of all time. You can't compete with its library for sheer size, especially since it was fully backwards compatible. So many of its games hold up as if they were made today, some better than their own sequels (cough Final Fantasy cough). Besides, even if Snake Eater was the only game in its library itd still be in the running

      If this were 2015 I would agree with you, but FF15, Stranger of Paradise and FF7R are some of the best JRPGs of all time even with the often annoying quirks Nomura's leadership brings to the table.

        Totally agree on FF7R, loved what they did with it. I didn't play FF15 so maybe I'm wrong. Didn't seem interesting to me and i didn't enjoy the gameplay in the demo. Maybe i should try it. Stranger of Paradise I'm definitely intetested in playing! FF13 has a lot to answer for though from me

      Funny enough, I think only yanks got the concave buttons, I think in the rest of the world they were all bulbous

        Yeah, which is weird. The contrast between the concave and bulbous buttons was great, very easy to know what you're pressing without looking. The buttons where also slanted off center, not on a crass like the dual shock which was very comfortable, while also being versatile. The shoulder buttons were a big innovation, and used great by fighting games like street fighter for a six button layout. Just a great great controller
