Stage Select: I have to go with the Super Nintendo. It was the video game cornerstone of my childhood. Final Fantasy VI (probably the most influential game of my formative years), Contra 3, Super Metroid, TMNT IV, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World. I could go on and on. The hardware was powerful enough that the games could look and sound amazing. 2D games eventually did get better from a technical perspective but it took a while thanks to the advent of 3D games. The SNES was the general highwater mark for a long time. Second place, for me, is probably the GameCube, which served me well through high school and played host to my all-time favorite game: Metroid Prime. But you can't beat that childhood nostalgia.
Cage Match: I think I would like Asura's Wrath if I played it...but I HAVE played Until Dawn and really enjoyed that, so that is what I'm going with.
Cage Match possibilities:
-Gradius 3 vs Space Invaders
-Contra 3 vs Halo 3
-Sonic vs F-Zero
