I’ve owned every machine so each one means a little something to me.

Same.

The N64 was the first I bought with my own money and that had some amazing games. I still own my whole collection.

Same.

However I think I’m going with the Switch. So many great games, many more ported from the WiiU

Almost same. I realize that it's also on WiiU, but BotW re-ignited something in me that I thought had been lost. And the Switch form factor, while it has obvious tradeoffs, basically made it into gaming option #1 since launch day. I've barely touched my XB1 outside of Rock Band since 2017.

However, I will always have a soft spot for the SNES. Again, so many great games. And the controller was brilliant for the time. Sony added handles, two more triggers, and sticks (to one-up the N64 after the fact), and that format is still the default blueprint to this day (copy-my-homework-but-change-it-up-a-bit notwithstanding). So much gaming DNA came from the SNES.
