    I remember having a Wii U when I was younger, and I had a good experience with it despite the poor sales.

They usually looked at me "wtf is that?".

And is most likely going to be gone and forgotten when the eshop goes down in march. But it makes me strongly think of F-zero. The other cool thing is it has like a 5 dollar DLC option.

    My childhood was very lucky and unlucky. My parents opened a Video Store in 1982- 2002. We rented video game consoles and of course many games from all the consoles released during them years. When they decided to close the Video Store, I was able to keep everything gaming. So I became a console collector, I own every US home & Handheld gaming unit ever made with the exception of the NintendoStation. I even went back and got the Magnavox Odyssey from 1972.
    What sad is, that I do own every console you showed off. Except the Japan consoles and I agree with you in every way.

      It would be like a new big ass console release now from a new company or some shit, and they were marketing it and it sounded better than xbox series S or playstation 5, and it did everything 10 times better and it had all these cool features. But oh yah, it costs 1300 dollars. Like im not gonna buy that shit when i can get a playstation 5 for 600 bucks. Like they have to know the market.
      If anything, really push the console and do all that shit and find some way to release it for cheaper. I mean, the switch isn't the greatest in terms of the tech and graphics and all that, but it only costs 300 bucks. And the games are really good to.

    The prototype used 3 led screens, the classical RGB, to show nice non-irises melting graphics. But Nintendo decided to limit to one color due to production cost, it would almost quadruple its sales price if ir had the 3 colors.

It was also Sega of Japan that decided to not have a standard and or good dev kits and reference materials, which is why a lot of companies chose Sony and the PlayStation. Some sources claim that Sega wanted to keep it that way so their in house developers would have an edge.

This is why modern games all feel so similar. There’s no competition outside of the pre-established Goliaths. It’s the opposite problem the industry has in the 80’s but the result is the same - a market full of low quality products and rehashed IP’s from the past.

      Saturn was very underrated. That system had great games and in some ways it was more powerfull than the Playstation. Saturn did 2D games much better than than PSX, but at the time 3D gaming was all the rage.
      Add to that it was difficult to program for, the disastrous marketing and half the major retailers boycotting the system...
      Plus the Saturn had an internal memory and memory sticks. So you could actually save your games with buying a stick.

      I believe that most of the success of the Genesis was due to SEGA of America. SEGA of Japan was out of sync and didn't understand that the US was a much bigger market than Japan and VERY VERY different. The book Console Wars was a fantastic "read" ( I actually listened to the audio book). Sega of Japan seemed upset that SOA was doing better than them and put their foot down and continued to not read the room. Thus the downhill slope of Sega.

There was a lot of animosity between Sega of Japan and Sega of America but both of them did a lot of idiotic stuff.

      A good friend of mine kept bugging me to port one of my games to the Ouya... he said it was gonna be the most amazing console ever. I was reluctant because it was coming from a company with no track record, so I held off but kept it in the back of my mind. Then when it launched, it came to the surface that other developers were having a hell of a hard time with communication with the parent company... there were a lot of technical issues and the Ouya developer forums were apparently flooded with complaints and inquiries, all of which were either being ignored or just brushed off. I don't think I've ever breathed such a large sigh of relief for being cautious.
