What's your favourite console boot screen

[Type VII]

Has to be the Dreamcast, seeing that logo reminds me of poring over import coverage of the games in magazines at the time. Disappointed when it turned out to be blue for Europe.

 

[Piggsy]

Gamecube, PS1, Original Xbox.

 

[ianpm31]

Ps1 and Dreamcast

 

[Mg.]

Neo Geo > PS1 = Dreamcast > GameCube > NGPC = GBA = Mega CD = PS3 > everything else probably

 

[Thrill_house]

Ps1. Man than sound just hits you

 

[RingoGaSuki]

Gamecube, Wii and GBA are the best, all just perfect. DS/3DS are great too.

 

[IronWarrior94]

PS1, GameCube, and original Xbox are the most nostalgic for me.

 

[EndlessSummer]

Probably the PS1 one.

 

[Crashman]

Bruuuuuuuh

...

BIIIING

In other words, the GBA.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Choosing between the GameCube and PS2 boot screens is like picking my favorite child but I think The Cube juuussst edges out the PS Double.

 

[Desma]

PS2 for me

 

[adit]

right after read thread tittle, immediately my mind just come up with PS1

tbh, i don't even remember much about another console opening even my current console (PS4/Switch)

i even ask myself, does switch even have boot screen ?

these days, we so get used to play from suspend mode

I think I have the most nostalgia for GBA, then original Xbox then PSP. Lots of great ones here though, genuinely.

 

[SpScarecrow]

Dreamcast followed by Gamecube then PS2. Dreamcast boot up noise reminds me of the days of hiding in my cousins basement playing MvC1 and Sonic Adventure.

 

[SilkySm00th]

PS1 startup screen + sound is like a time capsule. Instantly there.

I love it.

 

[Kasai]

PS1 had the best, hands down.

 

[strife85]

Ps1
Dreamcast
Saturn

 

[ThatsMyTrunks]

Me coming in to the thread: "Ah, that's an easy one"
Y'all reminding me of the GameCube, Dreamcast, GBA, and XBox bootups: "....ah."

I think the Dreamcast one brings the most warmth, the GameCube is the most fun, and the XBox is "highschool", for me. And the GBA bootup is something really special outside of everything.

 

[Drachen]

PS1 startup is so overrated.

Gamecube is the best for sure.

Whoever picked anything other than PS1 is objectively wrong.
