In terms of system function and practicality, hacked, probably gonna be Wii U because it can play most other Bintendo systems. Function unhacked is probably a DS phat or Lite, because DS/GBA libraries are pretty good.

I also wanna ask if this includes fan translations, because at that point SNES/SFC is a system that has FF6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Earthbound etc but also Front Mission, Seiken Densetsu 3, Tactics Ogre, Bahamut Lagoon, all six 2D Dragon Quest games, so on. Also if you factor Super Gameboy/2 in, SNES probably wins.

In terms of the native NTSC/PAL libraries it has to be a dead heat between Super Nintendo and DS. Gamecube is a shit system, N64 is a shitter system, Wii has a loooot of shovelware(although the virtual console was rad), Switch goes in the trash, the NES, GBA and Game Boy were cool but I think the DS probably had the most variety of genres. Plus it has ports and remakes of a lot of classics, so at gunpoint I'd go DS.
