    One of the CDI models you displayed (Goldstar) was in fact a 3DO. You can see on the unit itself below the CD drive, it clearly says "3DO Interactive Multiplayer". Alt 25:28 you say 1998 when the year listed onscreen is 1988. The Etch-A-Sketch Animator 2000 did not have 2 displays, the lower panel was like a wacom tablet (but resistive rather than RF), it did not display anything. The gameplay footage of the GP32 is actually from the successor, GP2X. Incidentally one wonders why the Evercade and Neo Geo X had 16x9 screens when their entire library of games were all in 4x3.

    • @LiminalQueenMedia

      @@FurryMetalFerretVT SO was the PSP. Damn Sony. Also, I do love my Vita. Especially now that it's 100% hackable in any state. I have like 4 of them. My favorite is a weird tanish-green one. I bought one when it launched, the 3G version, got my sim in it, and whatnot, but they never let me redeem the free House Marquee game for it, can't remember what it was called. I ended up playing it later, and it was alright. Basically Geometry Wars on a sphere. EDIT: ALSO, annoyingly enough, not many people know this but SONY crippled the display on the LCD model. Which thanks to hacking, you can fix. The LCD model was noticeably more de-saturated than the OLED and people just assumed it was fine, it wasn't. Apparently Sony changed a REGISTRY value to make it duller. Undoing it, makes the games look IMMENSELY better and vibrant. NOT OLED vibrant, but more natural. Another example of SONY kneecapping their own hardware.

Design wise not software wise n64 and snes are tied when it comes to Nintendos best software until the switch.

    "A Game Boy Color is a Game Boy."
    That's just plainly and objectively incorrect when two thirds of the GBC library can't even be played on the GB. Maybe Nintendo didn't do a great job marking which GBC games work on the GB and which don't, but the GBC is a separate system that just happens to be backwards compatible with all GB games and a third of whose games just happen to be backwards compatible with the GB. That does not make it a repackaged GB.

      Man, Nintendo's advertising must have really got to you, huh? The fact that 1/3 of the GBC library is frontwards compatible more-or-less proves it's the same system. When has a PS2 game ever been frontwards compatible with a PS1 console, or any console combination like that? If PS2 games could be played on the PS1, with less fancy textures let's say, then people would just say it's a fancier PS1, and they'd be right. Nintendo could have kept doing that, but then sales of the GBC console would have dropped. They're (potential) color-optional GB games that are designed to show an error screen when you pop it in the wrong system. It's all dollar signs - planned obsolescence. Just like how they could have released a new portable console with GBA's graphics in the mid-90s. They were milking it for profits. And it worked. Not that I think it's a bad thing. Geniuses, really.

    What I liked about the DS so much (next to its fantastic games of course) was the touchscreen. Having something like that as the main gimmick of a console often ends up in disaster, because games try to build around these gimmicks too much. It's interesting at first, but becomes more annyoying than anything else very quickly, which is something Xbox Kinect and PlayStation Move struggled with a lot. But most DS games used the touchscreen a lot more subtle, for example for displaying extra information, having the menu constantly on it which then can be used via touch, or for occasional mini games. It enhanced the gameplay a lot, without becoming annyoing, because most games could still be played mostly with the controller buttons.

Hell, I'd say it was better than the Vita in terms of actual support because at least SNK made games for it. It's such a shame it died the way it did.

The ability to bend the screen up a bit was useful due to the lack of any meaningful backlight. It also had a system link for 2 player games, if you could find someone else who had one.

    I asked for a Gameboy and my grandma delivered beyond expectations. I got an Advance SP (which was new at the time) thanks grandma, love you

    Hot take: I actually think the 3DS is better than the Game Boy. The Advance is superior and the DS rules supreme, though.

    I personally don’t think LCD games count as video games.

      Yeah Ahoy video comes to mind (The First Video Game, I highly recommend to watch it), he explains pretty well what video game is.

    I had a turbo express, nomad, gameboy, gamegear, and GBA. Fantastic times with those handhelds

    I got the R-Zone for Christmas one year. Was super excited when I opened it and probably had it on my head in less than a minute. It was off shortly after and I'm honestly not sure I ever put it on again.
