I had a squint I developed from the dodgy screen on the game boy. The games were good. The screen not so much.

There is always a console war. There has never been a war about retro consoles. Just enjoy your games, friends.

I spent too long being judgmental about hobbies. Mind unclouded by hate is so much better. Just have fun.

Mmm. No. Your enjoyment is good. And you don't need to belittle people for enjoying things the like. But things you enjoy can still be bad.

The Switch rocks! I'm not looking for photorealism, I'm looking to play Mario Games.
PTNLemay
I got into the Switch very late, but I am loving it.

The Nokia 6600 was my first smartphone. Hardware-compatible with the N-Gage. Played the hell out of Puyo Puyo and Sonic-N

Yes, it's a console that supports Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, Sega CD, and Sega LD (Sega LaserDisc).

My Virtual Boy begs to differ lol

If you’re having a good time then this doesn’t disprove “the wisdom”. It just proves that you can go overboard.

"The console wars were manufactured by console makers so that gamers would feel the need to 'support' their products and would actively...

...cheer for exclusivity deals and other anti-consumer practices. It was a classic 'divide and conquer' and gamers lapped it up"
quzar
Got any source for that? That seems absolutely backwards.
IrrelevantIrrelevant
History. Nintendo and Sega spent ages pretending they hated each others guts in order to drive sales, which is why "Mario VS Sonic" happened
IrrelevantIrrelevant
"Genesis does what Nintendon't" being a commonly mocked phrase now, given how Nintendo won that "battle".
quzar
1) There were console wars in the second-gen pre-crash driven by fans without the marketing aspect. VCS vs CV vs INTV. History. 2) Where do>

If you aren't having fun then the 3rd place 7th gen. console isn't good.

How dare you bring back those memories, you monster!
zFUBARz
Still a great piece of hardware that completely revolutionized gaming and had a tonne of bangers.
gryphoemia
serious question: how did it revolutionise gaming?
zFUBARz
Integrated online and voice chat, controller became the standard for all, Normalized downloadable games, apps on the console. Probably more.
gryphoemia
TIL! thank you!
zFUBARz
No worries, game industry is weird and wild, but also an interesting subject matter.

Was just playing this on my Retroid. Still having trouble getting the 5200 working but 2600 and 7800 play wonderfully.

I had a lot of fun on Atari's back in the day, even with genesiss and nintendos around.

The wisdom still stands.
rbudrick
Game.com absolutely does not enter the chat and gets the living shit beat out of it by every other console.

But how else will I play Castlevania Symphony Of The Night portably?!
rbudrick
That was a cancelled game. But you can still play on psp, vita, android, and ios.

Also some pure diamonds. Activision Tennis is absolutely brilliant arcade perfection. Tight controls, excellent AI, perfect physics.

I played it first on the PSP, so there's no nostalgia clouding my judgement.

You need to re-read the meme. You missed the point
MeekrabJones
Yes, paying 5x the cost for a rebranded Chinese knockoff is fine as long as you're enjoying the games. Nevermind the fact that it's still 1/

A literal scam. He intentionally defrauded people.

Ok, good one. Maybe not ALL consoles

There is the clause of "as long as you are having fun", did anyone but Soulja Boy have fun with that one?

A few years ago, Soulja Boy announced that he was launching a line of handheld game consoles for like $400 each. Not only were they 1/

Just rebranded Chinese knockoff emulator devices, but they were severely marked up from their original price. And on top of that, it 2/
MeekrabJones
Seems he still hasn't even shipped them out to people who already paid for them. It's been 5 years.
SlyMrFox
3D0, practically no games, $700 back in 1993. That's over $1100 dollars today.
NaturalViolence2
$1,524 in today's money, not 1,100.
SlyMrFox
I said over. Mainly due to the site I was quoting. I didn't check the date.
siccoyote
Many exclusives, some good party games and lots of other good software, Road Rash, Return Fire Etc.
SlyMrFox
Nothing beats the first Road Rash on Sega Genesis. Though I've only played it and the N64 version.
siccoyote
Then maybe you should play 3DO Road Rash, especially in 1994
Vergenbuurg
You wanna talk about no games? How's its library stack up to the 32X or the NEC SuperGrafx?
Eiladar
NeoGeo was similiar; ~$700 for the system back in 1990, games ran $200-250 each.
demosthenes89
First gen Nintendo Wii backwards compatible with GameCube was my personal pinnacle of enjoyment from a console.
DdCno1
It was also a fantastic emulation machine for its time: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_Wii
PinPointSnarkuracy
That's one thing Nintendo did right and wrong (and still does wrong). Every console could play stuff from ONE console back, but no further.
PinPointSnarkuracy
And now all their old titles are behind a SUBSCRIPTION service! Always preferred physical media. Steam, Epic, and Sony are not any better.
PinPointSnarkuracy
At least GOG doesn't put DRM in their shit. You buy it, you download it, you've got it. Put it on media and it will still play.
Chattafaukup
I can have fun with a virtual boy. Does that make it a good console? What about phone games?
B99Reactions
Well phones games, youre just being brainwatched by marketing design to poke at you, with color and sounds, one dopamine burst at a time
Strangedays2026
This may help...

If we want to establish criteria it might be bad, the current suggested criteria is the user enjoys using it.
OhIfIMust
I still remember how woozy I felt after trying a Virtual Boy at a department store, and it took several minutes to recover.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
I didn't get woozy when I tried it, but I've also never been able to see any of those hidden 3D image things either (screwy eyes). To me it
NotMyUsualOnlineName
just looked like a red version of those cheap handheld games.

The point is that if you like it who cares what others think. If you think virtual boy was good then by all means I respect your opinion
Chattafaukup
And my point is peoples enjoyment of something doesnt make it objectively worthy of their time. Like gambling. To each their own though.
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
It's kind of sad that people still stick to believing they should seek out impossible to define "objectively valuable" things.
EverNotRelevant
"objectively worthy of their time" is contradictory.
vecnasjuicytitties
This is about video games. Where did gambling come into play? 😂
B99Reactions
mobile games = gambling , some games with microtransactions = gambling
zFUBARz
Some time between horse armour and Fifa Ultimate Team Cards, but I know that wasn't your point ;)
Tpewop
You don't think there's overlap between video games and gambling? Loot boxes souls disagree...
Rips4w
What in the fuck is "objectively worthy" of someone else's time? And then you cap it off with "to each their own"? The contradictions, lol.
Chattafaukup
Enjoying gambling or self harming is not worth your time. To each their own means they should be allowed to anyway.
Rips4w
Bud, they were talking about gaming consoles.
