No one tells a story better than you. That is a generous gift. 3DO was crazy expensive when it came out.
The 3do I got was $75 clearence games where $5 each
Nice to see you here 👌
You feel bad about getting one on Christmas morning? Try paying $700 for one at launch! I saved sooo long for that! And I wish they had a Genesis 6-button adapter instead of a SNES one like the Sharp X68000 did. I can't play 6-button fighters with a diamond-button configured pad and two shoulder buttons, it just feels so unnatural. And I think you're supposed to buy TWO of those adapters to use two SNES pads.
To be fair, if you pay $700 for any item at all on or off launch, that's your own fault. Other than a house and the LEGO Falcon, I can't think of anything worth $700...
@@quezcatol don't question the sack
I always wanted a 3DO. I finally got one 6 years back. Honestly, it did not disappoint. In fact, it was much better than I expected.
Maybe you should try revisiting the console. Joe on GameSack did, and ended up buying one again.
Stupid ATARI JAGUAR. My friend and I BOTH purchased it in the first month.
We struggled to find playable games for a year. I think out the both of us, we had 3 good games and 30 crap ones.
Oh for the love, ouch, that's rough. The mighty Genny for a Jag?
If you dont want it I cant give him a home :) I want that consoles since my childhood only to play AVP
I’d kill to have a Jaguar now a days. There’s a lot of gems on it. Plus ppl still home brewing games for it
i watched this channel years ago, been searching for a long time, glad i found you again!!
Without a doubt for me, the PSP Go for me. If they were going to go digital for the games, at least put ALL the damn games in the store that were available on UMD....they failed to deliver on that.
Put custom firmware on it and it becomes a top notch emulator of nes games to ps1 games.
Fraudulent Frequency I would have at the time if that was a thing. I had it when it was pretty new and that stuff didn't exist. Ended up selling it like a month after buying it.
lmull3 i got one for about 30€ after my PSP 3000 went to shit
( my sisters dog had alot to do with that...) and the first thing i did was CFW it.
lmull3 I resist the urge to spaz on you, because I got it at launch, and honestly felt almost the same way you did. However, the portability, soft mod capabilities, and overall specs of the PSPGO, make it my favorite console ever. I love that thing. I also kind of matured into loving it. I used to cling to physical media as a horder, but then I have grown an appreciation for digital storage, and the problems that it avoids.
jokatech I have a Go I love it but granted I bought it recently 6 years later at launch I would of probably been annoyed by it. I have always owned Nintendo handhelds so at the time in 2009 I didn't care for PSP I did like the design of the Go but I passed and bought a DSi XL. But I love my Go I bring it with me everywhere I go it's easier then bringing my giant 3DS.
For me, that certainly was the OUYA. Sure, it's quite a recent thing, but boy, I was so falling for it. I still think it could have been big. If only ... it had a lot more momentum.
***** T-Thank you for believing.
Weird Al lol =^_^=
***** OUYA is amazing seriously, I play it more than my PS4, Wii U and Xbone put together, no joke.
I really dig the hardware and the games, too. But I do feel like sometimes, nobody knows what it is, and there's hardly going to be anything new for it released .... I mean commercially. :(
***** I don't know man, my Ouya is probably the nicest paperweight I have.
“So someone gets a Super Nintendo controller.....and someone does NOT”. Lol!!! I can already visualize the fighting over that
Just found your channel love your videos man brings back a lot of memory from my childhood.Nice collection you have too
I had a Virtual Boy.
Nuff said.
awesome console. 'nuff said.
kraig keller
If you like neck cramps and eye strain.
Warioland was bomb though. Too bad they didn't port it to a real console.
I personally didn't experience either, but i heard reports that some did. I just wished the library was bigger, I went through all the available games pretty quickly. Warioland, Panic Bomber, Jack Bros., and Red Alarm were all pretty fun to me. You're right, though, Warioland needs to be on 3DS download.
talk it down all you like...we all loved vb wario land lol
i wanna play jack brothers so bad!
I LOVED my TG16, but man, I had a massive case of parallax background envy over genesis. Sure, later titles pulled it off with horizontal layers, but we were never going to get the fantastic overlapping parallax of say "Mystic Defender"
I've been a Nintendo fan from the start, but now I am starting to collect other brands, including the pc engine, and I find your videos very useful. Thanks and more power! The lancer at the back is also cool. 😊
Xbox 360: Got the red ring of death, Gold Membership expired, getting cracks on my physical games, broken battery charger, backwards compatibility crashes often.
F--- this I'm moving back to my fat PS3!
You, you were on the ss2t 3do Ost
Homer sams So... we meet again!
The system has some great bullet hell shooters
hell ive got a few games one the ps one thave cracks in them and they work fine
360 kicked the pathetic ass of that ps3 foreman grill shit.
0:50 "I was 20 years old, and it was a weird time in video games it really was they were just coming out with the super Nintendo.." Dude you look like you're fucking 24.

Zuon94 "Yet again, Mario Kart supports rape culture" -Kotaku
+RazoRWolF728 how does that game support rape culture?
I've always wanted a 3do, they were neat consoles, but they did have a number of flaws as well. I think the 3d0 company did a good job with some of the stuff, but weren't forward thinking enough at the same time.
Some of the advantages were that the hardware specs could be licensed to various manufacturers, this helped drive down the system's costs quickly (though only Panasonic and Goldstar made them, and also Sanyo in Japan) since they could compete on that front. I think they were about $250 by the time PS1 came out if I remember right. Also the controller port thing, allowed you potentially up to 8 controllers, so no need of purchasing multitaps. Finally dev kit costs and publisher costs were very low, so this allowed small companies at the time like Crystal Dynamics to break into the scene to develop games, a company many of you have heard of that might not have existed without the 3d0.
On the other hand, there is the lack of quality control due to the looser way 3d0 handled publishers. The cases though cool with their size were very flimsy. The controller could have been better, it was a weird mix between the snes and Genesis (though was still a LOT better than the other competitors out there before Playstation). 3d0 also didn't seem to get properly tapped into the system capabilities, it clearly was a capable console as a number of early Saturn and Ps1 games were ports of 3d0 games, but it seemed most companies were content with just releasing fmv games or games that essentially could be released on the snes.
Dreamcast!! lol no, I loved my dreamcast. I was an easy to please kid when it came to gaming and I was totally content having a 'dead' console by the time I got mine (got a TON of clearance games on the cheap lol), so flash forward a few years to 2005 and I had everything I wanted. I was absolutely content with my game collection so when other ideas of christmas gifts didn't come up, I finally was just like "well my friend's got an xbox and I'd like to play the conker remake I suppose, but is that really worth you guys buying me a console for just one game? That's expensive." But that's what happened, with Conker joined by Halo 2 since it was the talk of the town. I got a few hours into Halo 2 and didn't care for it and I was immediately disappointed by Conker's new censorship, so my enthusiasm was killed. That and I *really* hated the controller. The 360 was out by then so it was the better model of the two original xbox controllers, but it was still annoyingly big and bulky and hard to hold for me. I did not like the feel of it whatsoever. By the time I'd sold it two years later, I had a collection of about five games and the only one I beat was Conker. I just didn't care. I had a gamecube and got way more enjoyment from that library.
Baten Kaitos is still one of my favorite games from the Gamecube.
The Playstation 3 was a disappointment for the whole of the first 2 years. Yeah it picked up later on but I'd already sold mine by that point.
Ps3 awesome have many great game and blu ray
Paul Smith Gotta agree with this. Funny enough, today, it's my most played console, and I own everything. But it had a really shit start.
Xbox One is better than that but I'm not in love with that either. A bit disappointed, to be honest, with the exclusives. KI isn't really for me(although it's good, not my kind of match flow), DR3 is my least favorite in the series, Sunset Overdrive is good but just good, Halo is removing the reason I play halo(local multi), etc. I don't regret it but I do feel disappointed.
Enix Belmont Yeah, same here... But hey, at least you can use the Xbone as a DVR- oh wait...
Enix Belmont I'm a Playstation guy but finally bit the bullet and got an Xbone for Rare Replay, it's incredible. Microsoft are being very clever by providing offers that you just can't resist at the moment. Far cry from the sports, sports, TV debacle.
Paul Smith Yeah I get where you're coming from. I didn't get mine till MGS4 came out so I had to wait at least two years to buy on. I enjoyed MGS4 since I' a fan of the series although still flawed. Maybe I wouldn't even get one and I would probably stick with Xbox 360 if it weren't for exclusives like Uncharted, Ni No Kuni, Tales of Xillia, Tales of Graces f, Valkyrie Chronicles, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 and whatnot. Xbox 360 hands down has better multiplats and doesn't have a pointless gimmick like sixaxis, I hated that shit. Sure there were some better versions on PS3 like Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean 4 but most western games were superior on Xbox 360 because of it's easy to use specs. Although it's still impressive that they still haven't uncovered the full potential of PS3 capability.
Great story, I recall reading about 3DO in magazines at the time, but the price scared me away.
7:40 I had a very similar version of this controller for SNES and it was by far the best controller I had for fighting games.
I had the same reaction when I got the Atari Jaguar. It was totally unexpected, and by far the most expensive gift my parents ever got me. I was so hyped. We found it while on vacation in Portland, which was a miracle because of short supply when it was released. I got it home and started playing Cybermorph and my enthusiasm quickly plummeted. It sat in my room for the rest of my childhood, disconnected, next to my SNES and Genesis which were being played daily.
The console that let me down the most was the N64. I absolutely loved my Snes, and before that the NES. I just remember only liking a handful of games. And I never warmed up to the controller.
haha... that daisy chaining of the controllers is a weird design choice.
im jelly of your Christmas, good on yah for looking after that stuff so well.
I still remember getting a 32X for my birthday in 1994. I owned Virtua Racing, Metal Head, Knuckles Chaotix and Corpse Killer 32X CD! 😂 It definitely had potential but it had zero support.
I have a 3DO and i've had lots of good times with it. I suppose it's because i bought it in 2015, knowing what to expect, instead of blowing of 500 dollars when it was new.
But hey, it has Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!
Plumbers don't wear ties is the best anime inspired game ever. With great characters, great story, and amazing graphics that still hold up today.
A wild shiny Umbreon
And it has a chicken mask on it. Can't go wrong with that.
Technique San Chicken mask is my favorite character in the hole game. He's just so cool and relatable at the same time!
i want a 3do just to play that game
3DO was 799.99 when it came out
Regretted none of my consoles because I always wait at least a year after launch so other people can find pros and cons for me
Thank you for showing my favorite game of all time when showing the SNES. Chrono Trigger changed my life (gaming wise). Still, up to this date, there isn't any other game that made me feel like Chrono Trigger make me feel.
You've bought back some meh memories with the 3do for me....loved and hated it at the same time. Some great games for it but there was loads of crap too. I think i bought it because it had FMV....really liked the look of the fmv on there as my console before was a megadrive with mega cd. Keep up the good work 😎😉
For me, it's the Wii. I got it for my birthday just after the release. I came from an amazing time with the gameboys and Gamecube. Both really got me with awesome games like Super Smash Bros Melee, Mario Kart DD and solid platformers on the go.
But the Wii. Well, the Wii had Mario Galaxy. It was okay, but nothing I was used to. And Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Fun at the time but it never really got me. I never got Super Smash Bros Brawl or Mario Kart Wii from store. I got them way way later second hand from the flea market, because my Wii just wasn't used a lot. Sadly.
It didn't help that it had a lot of mediocre ports (GameCube titles with motion controls shoehorned in, lazy carbon copies of PS2 games, and occasional dumbed-down versions of PS360 hits), and even some of the flagship titles were relatively weak. Sure, Skyward Sword and Smash Bros. Brawl are good games, but they aren't topping too many people's favourites lists!
I still haven't gotten around to experiencing some of the later gems, though, like Xenoblade Chronicles. Maybe that would change things.
I get what your saying the Wii had some hit or miss games I think the Metroid with the motion controls was cool. And also punch out was great with the controls too. Other than those two titles I cannot think of much else.
I currently feel the same way about the PS4. I loved the PS1, 2 and 3 but the PS4 isn't rubbing me the right way. I know there are some games out there soon to sink my teeth into though so I am hopeful.
vDom I feel the exact same way but the PS3 was really boring until 3 years later.
Didn't like the ps4 at all. I skipped the 360 ps3 generation. Thought I would like the ps4 because I loved the ps2 but just couldn't get into it. So I sold it.
I remember getting Samurai shodown for SNES! I loved that game! Thank's for reminding me of the title again I needed it
For me it was the Game Gear.
I was getting into retro collecting at the time and enjoyed the gameboy, and thought it be fun to see what segas answer was like. I knew of some of the issues like battery life but it didn't stop me from picking it up.
But the games i got for it were pretty weak, most of them being licensed games. I didn't find new games in the wild that often like i did with gameboy. The main game i had was Sonic 2 which I'd played before on the Gems collection, but i must've forgotten how hard it was.
And the real killer for me was my screen brightened over time so i couldn't see anything. And although there were mods to fix it i didn't have the passion toward the console.
There's something really sweet, and kind of strange, about the way these video game reviewers are always talking about their childhoods.
Aw, I love the 3DO and it's quirky library. Too bad you hate it, lol. I'd say the Virtual Boy might be one of the worst I had. Though every game system, no matter how bad always has some form of charm for me.
SegaCDUniverse Agree with you I totally hated the Virtual Boy.
haha Mike, I've been noticing seeing your comments on several different videos as of late. on a different note, when could everyone or just me expect your review of killer instinct?
+Gaeta Matthew ha ha its queued up. all done. should be up in a week i think. :)
+SegaCDUniverse I love the 3DO and the Virtual Boy! Mike, you should get the Flashboy + (flash cart) for the virtual boy and play all the bad ass homebrews and unreleased games like Bound High!
They are always super expensive when I see them. But I had one years back that would flicker, I wouldn't mind grabbing another one day =)
Just a great clip thanks HappyConsoleGamer
my 1st 'console' was a gameboy, followed by the mega drive, super nes, game boy color, game gear, neo geo, playstation, game boy advanced, game cube, wii, playstation 2 and my last xbox 360. I did not regret any of those, but my favourites were neo geo and snes.
I'm not even gonna read the flame war below.
I never should have gotten a 32x
My friend had one of these back then. I couldn't afford one. He had this racing game that looked so lifelike and Way of the Warrior, a fighting game that played White Zombie music while you fought.
Same here, I bought the 3Do with my first salary when I was 16. The second controller stuff was just soooo strange. Couple of good games though: Alone in the dark and way of the warrior with white zombies musics! Total eclipse was actually pretty cool too.
"I'm a gaymbling man!.."
Yes you are, Johnny...
mine would Prolly be the vita, it just never rubbed me the right way as my psp did. hell it's still enjoy my psp to this day.
bigphil0005 I still use my PSP. never bothered with the Vita.
i felt that way about the psp. great potential, just never kept my interest for more than a couple of days
PSP had more going for it, unfortunately Sony just dropped the Vita like a stone & as they did with all their other peripherals. They never back them up long term. Just like Guitar Hero, PS Move, Eyetoy and I've a feeling they will do the same with the VR.
Am I better off getting the Vita version 1 or the slim.
***** That's great. I genuinely was looking at the first version as I heard the screen was better. I love my PSP and use it regularly. It's getting harder and harder to find decent games for it. They churned out some rubbish for it over the years.
I remember getting a hand me down Saturn that was my brothers for Xmas one year when I wanted a PlayStation. Was pretty disappointed but that Xmas me and my cousin had the best time playing marvel super heroes I think it was called. A fighting game that was just a blast. I'm sure you've played the game before. I just thought it was so cool how different each character's move set was. Made each hero really unique. Deep combos and such. Was really fun trying to figure each character out. Great game, and great Xmas gift.
For me it would be the amiga cd32.Mind you,i did not get the system at launch.
But a couple of years ago,i was into finding and trying out as many systems as i could find and that got me interested.
When i finally got one,it did not really got me excited as much as i had hoped it would.
Games are mostly mediocare and simple ports of the amiga home computers and some didn't even run quite right.
I still own it,but i hardly use it.
Atari Jaguar, hands down!
Either that or the CDi
ronjon83 I would cry if I got the cdi for christmas lol
DrxSlump Sega Saturn!
MoviesNGames007uk Dislike.
***** Well i'm going to get 1 one day.
My least favorite console is probably the Xbone. A lot went wrong at launch, and Microsoft is still trying to salvage it by throwing absurd amounts of money at the damn thing, with very little avail. There are some nice exclusives for it though, like Rare Replay and Sunset Overdrive, and there may be a lot more to come in the following year or two...
Azurephoenix13x I remember them wanting to do away with psychical games, having to be online at all times with the camera on at all times, and they were wanting to charge you extra for having more than 4 people in the room playing the same game. I feel ever since Microsoft first launched there console, gaming has suffered ever since, especially with the 360, endless amounts of DLC, microtransactions and broken games released out the door, to hell with American console's and their business models.
***** To be fair, they did a lot of things right with the original Xbox, and the 360 didn't really become maligned with horrid business practices up until the later part of 2009, and it only worsened when Don Mattrick entered the fray...
***** Hope you know PS4 was about to do the same thing but they saw the back lash on media and quickly changed their policies.
ChiTown Mex It was rumoured that the camera may well have to be on at all times only because it was mentioned first by Microsoft but Sony never brought it up at any conference's and the camera never shipped with the console on release. Not once did Sony mention about charging the owner of the console extra for having a certain amount of friends over to play a game in the same room.
***** Sorry but all the rules Xbox tried to do Sony were going to do as well. Both console wanted always online and publishers. Just because they didn't mention it in their conference doesn't mean they weren't planning on it. You can look up the information, either way it was better for the gamers they changed those stupid rules because I wouldn't have bought X1 and PS4..
My grandma had this. I remember playing Twisted a lot. Lol
Awesome vid and awesome PC Engine shirt!
the URL in this video ends with D0. Coincidence? Don't think so
N64 by a long stretch. Im 34, so I was well aware what was going on back then.
Sure Mario64 was the shit at release... but other than that I never got the games I was hoping for. No more 2d games also (which I loved). No RPGs, no Fighters, no Castlevania, no Metroid. And that controller is just the worst BS ever made, apart from maybe the Dreamcast one (which wasn't out back then). Hands down the only system I never regretted selling.
too bad you didn't like it, it was like this awesome machine i never got but all my friends did. oddly enough i really like everything about the controller (after modding the joystick to make it a littler smoother ;) )
I was totally with you until you knocked the DC paddle
alright, maybe I was a little unfair to that DC-pad (I just remember controlling 2d-fighters with that D-pad and my Thumb almost fell off). But as for the N64 one I clearly remember renting Doom64 (which was quite good) and I couldn't decide what button layout to use and which hand I should put on the trigger and stick... was just absurd. Like: here's an awesome game, now good luck controlling it with that thing.
shothanshao i felt that way with turok 2 haha xD
The Dreamcast didn't have a way to back up in Powerstone 3 if I recall so you had to do a "soft reset" if you picked the wrong game mode or characters.
The PS3 from 2006 up until around late 2009. All my friends were playing Halo 3, Gears of War, and CoD together on the 360. All I had was MGS4 and that was 2 years after launch.
PS4. It's the only console I own than don't have over 100 hours used. I still don't have any games worth playing on it. I can't use it as a set-top box until something comes out. It can't play Playstation one or two games. It's limited to only two USB ports. Because one is *always* used as an mp3 slot (the only way to play my own music is via USB drive) I can't charge more than one controller while playing.
The only reason I haven't sold it is because I'm still hoping that my opinion eventually change on this console.
Antonio Cunningham Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF7 remake, perhaps?
I'm *not* the target audience for Kingdom Hearts. I do love FF7, but I'm worried about them doing away from the ATB system in the original FF7. If the go with a KH or FF14 battle system, I won't buy it.
Antonio Cunningham Bloodborne. And the upcoming Dark Souls III.
I actually would *love* to own a PS4. I regard it as the "Bloodborne box".
Hundreds and hundreds of hours are to be put on it.... =/ When I have the money.

I don't care for either of those games was well. When I say "I still don't have any games worth playing on it." I've considered every game that's already been released.
Also judging time spent with a console is a valid measure if you like a console or not. I agree that it's not the only measure, but that doesn't invalidate the time spent measure.
Probably the only time ever you'd want to be player 2.
Remember captain quasar that was a classic.I liked the 360 alone in the dark blew my mind at the time also.
It's strange seeing old game cases and how just more massive they were compared to now. It's quite intriguing looking back on this type of stuff.
Every single console since the Xbox 360/PS3.
Gaming pc for me, I shit you not
I just cant find a way to play games comfortably so close to the monitor.
I'm from middle east, the biggest gaming magazine called "alab alkompiotar" they was so suckers for the 3DO, they make it sound like the best system ever.
That console is legit frustrating. Great video great content all the time so good.
forever a sub 'nobody better say the dreamcast or I'll murder you' fuckin raw and real! ^,_,^ ✊✊✊
For me the Wii U. I thought it was gonna be great for me cus I did like the tablet idea, and I enjoyed Zomi U, Ninja Gaiden 3, Assassins Creed 3 and Black ops 2, but over time I just stopped playing. Smash came out and my bros and I played a lot but then we stopped. Now, it's just sitting there and tbh I wanna trade it in.
I have high hopes for NX because Nintnedo is changing their business to something more consumer friendly, and I think they'll fix the boringness of the Wii U. I hope that touch controller is a reality, but I hope it's done in a playable way, so it doesn't feel like a burden to play on it
+LovelyProductions dont get your hopes too high though, look at the trend, newer consoles always get less and few titles than the previous ps1 ps2 ps3 ps4 same with the wii and wii u and NOW they are working on a new one? i mean....shouldnt they like start releasing and promoting new games that can stress that hardware to the maximum before releasing a new console?
+ElBribri That's true. PC tech is progressing so fast that a new console is outdated in the span on months.
I feel like it's the games and social features that sell systems. Ps4 is treating itself like a great and fun game system rather than an impressive one(Wii u tries to sell itself with the tablet, Xbox one originally did that with Kinect, changed after). For gamers, PC has so much to offer plus you get so much customizability and software choices.
Wii U + 3DS is way better than the Switch/NX. Wii U is highly underrated, what with Mario games, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. On the Wii U was also Mass Effect, Minecraft, Need for Speed, Project Zero, Sniper Elite, Resident Evil, Tekken, Walking Dead, Bayonetta 2, Darksiders 2, Steamworld, Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, Batman: Arkham Origins, old Zelda HD games, and much more. And it plays every Wii game, plus it has many accessories.
Mine was an add on. Sega CD. Not only were alot of the games just genesis games with some added FMV or better music but the other games were just FMV games. There were very few games on it that I thought made use of the CD format and storage to make me say this couldn't be done only on the genesis.
Man... The beginning of the video really sums up how I feel about my Wii U... Still waiting on Fatal Frame 5, Xenoblade X and SMT x FE until I can justify having it. Right now it's pretty much collecting dust.
To me, it will always be the PS Vita. Not for nothing though. It did have a legacy to live up to. I for one absolutely loved the PSP. It's game library was a bit more scarce for releases compared to it's competition, but it certainly wasn't mal-nourished. It boasted alot of quality games, it's RPG and retro compilation catalog especially was magnificent and having a PS1 on the go was that perfect icing on the cake. In the 7 years I held that son of a bitch, it's the only piece of gaming equipment that I have broken from usage (Well, barring a few unfortunate accidents, the thing's buttons really did start to wear out).
So for 3 years, I held tight on the Vita, hoping it'd succeed my deceased PSP as I kept preaching how things were gonna get better and saying "Oh! Tearaway is gonna be that turning point". However, deep inside, I always knew I was dissapointed in it. I played my share with it. Gravity rush, Katamari, Blaz blue, when I wasn't using it as a glorified portable PS1, I experimented with some games I never had interest in regularly (The natural effect of being cornered with no games to play). In all my years of gaming, that was the 1 console that I consiously sold away, because I was just not getting my kicks off of it. My sister had the 3DS and back when I innitially got the Vita, it seemed like we were on even ground, but as the 3DS skyrocketed to new heights, the Vita took too long to grab me and the one thing that would ever make me consider buying another one (Tales of Innocence R) is an japan-only RPG and we all know how fun those are to play as a non japanese-speaker.
My PSP's battery lasts about as long as batteries on a Game Gear/Nomad these days from all the use it had. Webbrowing, PS1 games and PSP games. For a few years I was glued to that thing. In fact I hope that 5, 10, 15 years from now some one invents a way to play PSP games on a TV so my collection doesn't go to waste.
I too tried to force myself to finish Gravity Rush. It's a neat concept and it has an art director from Team Silent IIRC but it was just too boringly designed.
Atleast we should still get some niche JRPGs on the thing.
+90sgamer92Eng on a ps vita TV you can play vita games on TV and use a ps4 controller and it has all the psp games on the store
AlluMan96 I am not disappointed in the Vita itself, but I am disappointed in how Sony has handled the Vita. It's the sames as the Wii U. Great games fun to play but so little advertisement no one knows it exist. You know I talk about the Wii U and Vita all the time and most people ask me what they are. Man Sony and Nintendo have royally screwed up on very good consoles. Sony needed to make sure people knew that the Vita was the successor to the PSP, and Nintendo needed to do the same thing with the Wii U as well. Neither one did their jobs in that aspect and neither console is selling that well at all. I mean come on the Vita has been around since 2011 and I have not seen any advertisement for the system or the games since 2012. Same goes for the Wii U. I will continue loving my Vita, but I will also continue being disappointed in Sony for not advertising and only selling 5 million units since launch.
AlluMan96 I couldn't agree more! For the first two years of owning my Vita, I was just kinda in denial that it was a flop. I kept holding on to the belief that it would come back swinging at some point, but it just never seemed to happen. Now it just collects dust on my shelf.
AlluMan96 I'm with you on the Vita. I'm fairly poor so to get one, I bought two broken ones on ebay and used the best parts from both (lucky, one had a functioning screen) and had a fully functioning system for about $40. And then... I realized there was nothing I wanted to play on it. I spent hours looking at game reviews and just....nope. Ended up selling it, made a pretty big profit all things considered, but man, yeah.
Sega CD for me :/
I love sega cd i have all game
I'm glad you enjoyed the Sega CD. Unfortunately for me though, there weren't so many great games on the system. There are some good games though, like the 3 in 1 Sega classics, Sol Feace, Sonic CD and some others I'm probably forgetting.
EAPvideoz The Lunar games were great, as well as Final Fight CD, Snatcher and Sonic CD, but yeah there were not enough good games.
EAPvideoz My only regret too. I would have enjoyed it more if Sega actually pushed the quality games on the system instead of trying to stuff us full of FMV games. Even the rental stores largely had FMV games. I never even heard of Lunar or Snatcher until many years later.
EAPvideoz
I've always been an advocate of the Mega CD. While I believe that they should've focused a bit more on making a splash with the Saturn instead of saturating the Mega drive with extra shit, the selection the Mega CD has is quite good. The Lunar games, Terminator, Sonic CD, Spider-man, Bari arm, Shining force CD, the double feature Another world/Heart of the Alien combo, Snatcher, a decent port of Dragon's lair (As decent as those FMV graphics can allow), Silpheed, you gotta dig and I can imagine back in the day that "gotta dig for the gold" mentality was a bit alienating with the saturation of FMV crap dumped into the thing, but as far as pre-PS1 CD gaming tech goes, it's propably the best bet to go with. That and the NeoGeo CD, but Mega CD is alot cheaper.
sega saturn.
i had virtua fighter(which i was super happy happy about)
then i went to my friends house who had tekken and a playstation.
years later though i managed to get a japanese saturn which had some awesome games
Game Gear. Not a console per say but I saved my allowance for seemed like an eternity to buy one and from the moment I started playing it I knew it was no match for my Gameboy. This really helped illustrate how important the games were versus how powerful the device is for me. Even now when purchasing any electronic device I think back to my Game Gear and focus on user experience over raw specs.
Oh hi there Wii U.
Eh yeah at first. But it's library has really picked up after a while. Not enough to save it but every now and then it'll get a game that'll tear me away from my PS4 for a long while. Smash, Mario Maker, DK Country, and especially with the new Zelda coming out next year. When that hits my other console might collect some dust.
+JROKGaming In my opinion, the Wii U is better than the PS4 and XBOX ONE.
+TheGlasses61 yeah there are some good games but most of them are just mediocre versions of previous instalments like smash 4 has nothing on melee and brawl and mario kart 8 is just not as good as wii and 3d world is definitely not as good as galaxy sunshine or even 64
Smash4 > Brawl to be honest, save for the absence of Snake, which I mained in Brawl. But I'll agree Melee is the best so far. In certain aspects anyway. When it comes to variety Smash4 is certainly the superior over the rest. As for Mario, you say "or even 64" like its inferior to Galaxy or Sunshine lol.
Anyway, that can't be said about every game. Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely better than the original. In fact it's close to my favorite 2015 title. And I have high hopes the new Zelda is going to blow everyone's favorite OoT out of the water, if you take the nostalgia glasses off that is.
+JROKGaming year 1 and 2 Wii U was very disappointing
N64. I'm likely in the minority on this one but...ugh. It was just an awkward time for gaming. Some of my favorites were slaughtered by that machine (Donkey Kong, Earthworm Jim).
Yeah n64 , the freaking c buttons and cartridge. After the snes nintendo controllers have been questionable at best, even the gamecube controller was weird, the switch joycons no dpad sucks, and the ministicks they dont feel like quality , i bought a switch pro controller just to play ultra street fighter, because capcom didnt release it on another console.
Donkey Kong 64 is fucking awesome
Eh, I'll always prefer the kinetic run n jump gameplay of the original trilogy.
I don't know if I should even bring it up but I noticed that that's actually not the gold star 3do, that's one of the Panasonic versions. the gold star actually says gold star on the console and on the controller itself.
I found 5 sealed 3do games once in a pile of pc games - that was kinda cool. Still got 4 of em traded 1 for chrono trigger and a couple other games ( alone in the dark not for resale ) the other 4 are shockwave , drug wars , space pirates , and like mazer i think - only paid like 60 😅😅
The xbone has been by far the most disappointing purchase I ever made, I got it mainly to play with my friends who all are big microsoft fanboys and I liked halo and forza well enough so I thought I might as well get it. I figured it wouldn't be too much different from the 360 and previous xbox and while those weren't my favorite consoles I did enjoy a few games on them, turns out I was horribly wrong. I got the thing and it was huge, took up so much space. I got everything set up with little effort and got xbox live gold... hurray. Then I went to play Titanfall with some of my friends, it was like playing LoL but in first person and I had to pay for it. So that wasn't a hit for me but I still had forza 5 and I loved forza 4, was I in for a disappointment. The game had barely any cars I wanted to drive, less tracks, and all it seemed to really care about was how everything looked. Basically everything I loved about forza 4 was gone. I sold my xbone not even owned it for 3 months and got a vita. The vita is so much better.
+BakaPope Now I don't own a Xbone but sounds like you were one of the people who jumped on board early which was a mistake and well expecting Forza 5 to have more then 4 well you would in theory but because of the new graphics engine etc really wouldn't be possible for it to include everything 4 had because it all has to be remade so getting it for that was a mistake(forza 6 is probs really good however) same goes for other launch games.
If you picked up a xbone now with more options in terms of games you would possibly enjoy it more but really this generation of consoles is really lacking
+Zero Cool I think you need to understand something very vital to everything I said, there is not one game I want for the xbone. Nothing. I've been an early adopter of new consoles for a while now, the xbone simply has nothing I want. If I bought one it would only be because of my friends and I'm not going to waste another 300 dollars for a glorified teamspeak.
The XBOX ONE. Total let down.
Wut? Really? I _loved_ my XB1, more than the ps2.
no games. @@bryanl1984
I hated the PS4 .. it made me love Nintendo again
@@bryanl1984 I think he means the new Xbox one not the original
I got a 3do for Christmas and had the opposite reaction tbh. I got Fifa soccer, samurai shodown & need for speed. I then got road rash & night trap days later. I absolutely loved it!
I still have my 3do and those very games and I still have fun with them all. The 3do has 10-15 games that are amazing but unfortunately that's it.
Worst for me was the wii I suppose.
I remember owning a Panasonic 3DO. Oh dear. Also I worked for a game store briefly and we had the Atari Jaguar, which was a pretty big fail. :-)
PS4. I don't hate it, but when I first got it, it was such a disappointment. I blew 500$ on the thing(because Canada sucks) and it just sat there in the living room. For a year, collecting dust.
More games have started to come out for it and I now enjoy my PS4, but that first year with the device was... Not a good year. I had buyers remorse.
Outside of that, I'd say the N64. When I got my N64, there was no game stores around, so getting a game was rare.
I rented two games for the N64 before I lost interest in it. Majora's Mask(as a kid, and the internet not being a thing in our house until the GameCube, I didn't know what an Expansion pack was, so I couldn't play it)
And ...
Superman 64.
orkoapprentice it totaly agree
Maybe everybody can finally learn after 20 years of modern home consoles that a console is always 1. overpriced and 2. lacking in games, the first year of its released...
Wii
*russion national anthem starts playing*
that six button controller (pad soldier) was awesome on Super Nintendo. I bet that 3DO version is rare as hell.
Atari Jaguar! Also I got the Jaguar CD then got a 32X for my Genesis!!! I had to try and convince myself that all would be ok. At the time my brother had the 3DO... I was hard times.
I have a love hate relationship with the Xbox 360.
I'm interested. Why?
Zchannel0923 It has good games and all and a great controller, but I always found the system WAY too overrated and people kept shitting on the PS3 because of it.
Demon Rantz wow, really? I know a guy who has a PS3 and Xbox 360 (or at least when we were younger) and he liked his 360 but never "destroyed' his PS3. He played on his 360 more, too but still thought the Playstation3 was fine.
Zchannel0923 Oh right but basically I just feel that it's an average console.
me too bro me too
Xbox One has been almost nothing but disappointment mine bricked itself after only 6 months and had to be sent to Microsoft for repairs. Also a shout out to xbox 360 controllers for being so shit durability wise in my 7 years of owning the Xbox 360 phat Elite (Which works wonderfully btw) I've gone through I believe 8 or 9 controllers and 12 of those shitty chat headsets and 2 actual gaming headsets.
+KingEdgeHead Wow you must be shit at looking after your gear
Not really they were put in the same spot every night and cleaned regularly. And for the headset the mic would always just randomly stop working. The 2 actual gaming headsets I can't really blame any company as my dog ate them lol.
+PanacapticFilms Xbox Conrollers had a lower damage capacity than the Dualshocks did. I played FPS heavily at that time and went through quit a few, but a lot less Dualshocks than I did Xbox Controllers.
+KingEdgeHead I too have never enjoyed microsfot consoles...NES SNES GENESIS PS PS2 WII...but microsoft consoles are not a thing for me at all....actualy i own a PC, so i wouldnt waste my money
360 had great feeling controllers, but they break over time which is a huge let-down.
I still want to know what is that song which starts at 5:46. ?
I want to learn to play it with my flute.. ._. Love the melody!
When you started talking bout the console you hate, the first thing came to my mind was 3DO. I owned the console although mine was not Panasonic but Sanyo's. I think I didn't buy many games. I remember having Alone in the dark, D, Hard Driving, Pebble Beach no hatou (golf game) and some mystery adventure game that I cannot remember the title. The life span of 3DO was pretty short in me although I think I paid about $300 to get it. But, I didn't hate it. I enjoyed it. It was my first next-gen console. I still feel some strange attachment to it. Maybe I still don't want to admit that I picked a wrong one :P
the Xbox 360 for me
Nope, I never got a console that I regret having later. I even like my Wii U! So suck it, haters! lol
i never got the 3D0 because one, it was way expensive for the time at $700 USD and not a whole lot of games on it excited me. Although I sort of wanted it to have SSFIIT in home but...eh.
Although I do have the 32X add-on. But honestly, even the worst consoles could have their moments and the 32X had a couple fun games for it. But yeah, Maybe I could've asked for a Playstation that Christmas instead but oh well.
Overall, I always did my research and made sure my money(or my parents money) went into a console that will give me many hours of good times.
SPac316 Just out of curiosity, how did you research about the consoles? did you have internet back then? :O
Magazines.
out of all the consoles/portables I have ever owned/still own, the one I had buyers remorse, sold and never looked back (even though I still own some of the very few good games it had) is the N64.
this is coming from someone who still owns: nes, snes with super gb, gc with gba player, wii, gb, gba, dsl, 2ds, sega cdx with mini power base converter, saturn, ps1, 2, 3, psp slim and go, ps tv, 360, retron 5
:D So it was you who bought that 3DO! I never wanted that machine, the UK had a great magazine called Mean Machines which was honest and upfront about hardware and software. And they would state whether a machine was worth it or not...after saying that I was sooooo annoyed that Star Control 2 only came out on this system. I loved SC on the Megadrive.
For me it was the Nintendo Wii
onewaffleshort Wii is great
To get the most out of a Wii, you need to hack it. On a factory standard Wii, I can see why you'd hate it.
The N64 was such a letdown for me. Even today I still don't like the system. The graphics have not dated well
You need to take off those rose tinted glasses, haha. The N64 has dated badly. I don't play emulators I use the real consoles and real games and I feel the awful controller really let this system down. I believe Nintendo learned by their mistake and improved the layout with the Gamecube controller. I love retro games but I just feel the 3D on the N64 just didn't stand the test of time which is why I prefer the SNES and Megadrive as they both aged better.
I take it your about 12 with that comment or books just aren't your thing. Haha
The graphics aged better than PS1. But you can't really make sweeping statements like that about an entire platform... some N64 games have aged well, others haven't.
Yaywalter what would you recommend. I didn't enjoyed Mario 64 at all + Goldeneye is clunky, but I bought the PS3 version to play through it. Feel bad for Pierce Brosnan getting shafted though haha haha
Also I play my PS1 games through my PS3 and the smoothing on the PS3 makes PS1 games a lot more playable.
The worst thing about the 3DO is the headphone jack. It isn't grounded at all, and subject to static discharge. If you accidentally send a spark into that jack, it fries your console (I had this happen with my Goldstar, but it didn't happen to the Panasonic FZ-1 I exchanged it for).
There were another couple of good games, first and foremost being Wing Commander III, followed by Gex, IMO.
Space Hulk on the 3dO got me into Warhammer 40k, was really good at setting atmosphere at the time.
I hated my PS2 for about 2.5 years after importing it from Japan on day one. Most of the early games had a horrid interlacing graphics technique which looked ugly and gave me headaches from the shimmering graphics, and aside from GTA, Ico, Fantavision and SSX, there wasn't much in the way of truly excellent games to play on it. That, and the poor manufacturing quality of the DVD lens meant I had to return my unit 5 times before I got one that would last more than a few months.
Of course, in time it got better (from 2003 onwards, with 2004 being undoubtedly the finest year for PS2 releases ever), but by then I already owned a GameCube and Xbox (original) and the PS simply paled in comparison to the GC and the sheer power and online capabilities of the Xbox.
PS2 for me is much like the Wii. It's good to own for the exclusives and the little curio games, but if you have the chance to play a multi format game elsewhere, steer clear of the PS2 version!
I never owned a ps2 until a few years ago because I went with the Xbox and Gamecube. I personally prefer the PS2 because of it's sheer quantity and quality in its library. It has great JRPGs, such as:
Persona 3-4 and the FF's
It also had great hack n' slashers such as:
God of war and DMC
It had a multitude of great 3rd person games and overall, it was the go to system for me. Especially for Persona 4, which is a magnificent game but I would recommend the psv version of it more.
+thehaxfactory
Wow, are you joking? I was in the same situation at launch, there were no games that caught my sight until i started getting into JRPG's and visual novels. The vita had a lot of great JRPG's, obviously. Persona 4 was that one game that made me keep it so I could get more games, I loved Persona 4 and it will always be one of my favourite games of all time. So excited for 5.
I was late to the party with PS2 as I owned the Dreamcast at the time and secretly hoped that Sega could keep going with the DC. Unfortunately games became far too hard to get in my area for the DC after a while (and this got even worse after Sega dropped the DC altogether) and I was forced into then moving on to the PS2.
I do love my PS2. I still own it and it still works like new. But I have much more fondness and more fond memories of the Dreamcast than I do the PS2. The Dreamcast moved me into the 128 bit era and it blew me away every time I turned it on. By the time I moved onto PS2, that "wow look at that" phase had worn off somewhat. PS2 games still looked great, don't get me wrong. But whereas most people jumped from PS1 to PS2, I had jumped from PS1 to Dreamcast and that did nullify the impact that PS2 had on me somewhat.
What? 2001 had DMC1, SH2, FFX and GTA3
I have always had perfectly working PS2s and played lots of CDs on them. Also, there are countless great PS2 games. Other than the ones you mentioned, such as GTA 3, 4, 5, and SSX Tricky, etc., you have about 50 great games for the PS2 out of the 3,800 game library, say. Also, note that I think the GC is more powerful than both the PS2 and Xbox, at least in some regards, but still, yes, the Xbox was strong. Although, the PS2 sold 100 million units from 2000 to 2004, so, clearly, it was not time to just move on from it. I played the PS2 from around 2005 to 2019. Never stopping. Went from PS1 to PS2 and the PS2 is just unstoppable. Timeless 3D machine.
Nintendo 64.
Less good games compared to PlayStation.
Bad controller after Dual Analog came out for the PlayStation.
Really bad looking graphcis on 95% of games.
Poor audio, poor video, all because it didn't use CDs like the PlayStation.
And here's the thing; I never owned a PlayStation, until like 2005.
latuman N64 gets alot of nostalgic love but there just wasnt as many games on the system. Oh and if you wanted RPGs, forget it!
latuman I don't agree with you at all, the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console of all time, but the playstion is/was an amazing console, I just bought my ps3 2 years ago and the psone games are fantastic, MGS is still my favorite.
N64 games for the most part, looked better than PS one games.
latuman Well it did have one of the greatest games ever created :) And alot of other AMAZING games!
There wasn't a lot of games, they were extremely high quality of the good ones. Unfortuantely I wanted some RPGs and that just never happened.
I love the Dreamcast! That was the first video game console I ever bought. I was 18yrs old when I bought it back then.
Never thought the 3DO was worth it, but did own for about a week, just to play Super Turbo. Then it got announced as part of the Street Fighter Collection for Saturn/PS1 and I returned it.
Samurai Shodown "arcade perfect?" Far from it...it had a lot of missing frames. Also kind of weird was that Crystal Dynamics used the cart soundtrack instead of an arranged one.
wii.
+Thiscenturygames Bought it for Brawl, left because of everything else lol
+Thiscenturygames Super mario Bros Wii, Mario Galaxy 1-2, Fire Emblem, trauma center, Okami......great games, great console...it just has a few selection, but it is a good console and a revolutionary one
+ElBribri how was it revolutionary? what did it change?
futuredirector999
it is obvious...if you dont know, google it
+ElBribri why can't you just explain?
Dreamcast. There, I said it. I returned it three days later for a PS2.
I'm with ya there Peter, had many a fun afternoon with colecovision though! :)
Wouldn't expect anyone who likes family guy to have good taste in anything so makes sence
I remember wanting to get the 3DO so bad when I was younger, but it was no longer available by the time I finally saved up enough money. I was a huge 2D fighting game fan back then, and I always drooled over Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Samurai Showdown on the 3DO.
My local mom & pop game store from the 90’s steered me away from the Atari Jaguar; it says something when they didnt have any faith in the thing, lol.
