I owned a Panasonic 3DO when they were released. Great memories playing Need For Speed to death. That game was awesome. One of the few decent games for the system.
Dreamcast was an awesome console. I’d buy one now if I saw one in my local gadget shop. It still has amazing games like Shenmue, Shenmue 2, MSR, and the Sega arcade classics.
Fun Fact about the Virtual Boy: 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. Also, they choose red cuz it was the cheaper of the three.

I enjoyed my wiiu quite a bit, and playing windwaker with the little secondary screen was nice, having the ability to use 2 screens made so much sense when I was expecting to see nintendo merge their mobile and home console gameplay. would be easy to see a world where any game you own on your 3ds can be played on your wiiu on larger screens. When the switch came out I kinda did feel that loss when they didn't have the switch as a mini second screen again somehow. I dare say I enjoyed botw more on my wiiu that first time because of it even. not like botw runs well on switch either.
Ah. Crazy man. Especially had a nostalgia kick with the N-Gage phone. I remember those coming out and thought at the time that it was such a POS that I was surprised it made it to market. Crazy times.
I Remember Playing Ghost Recon Deathmatch with my friends on my N-Gage in High School English Class instead of doing actual schoolwork. Good times, Good times....
The Wii U walked so the Switch could fly ... Or at least it seems to be. Also, it's a shame the Dreamcast didn't accomplished more, considering it was basically the "PS1" for the XBOX.
If you ever want to go down a crazy rabbit hole, look up the Gizmondo. Failed portable console who’s CEO turned out to have ties to the Swedish mafia and crashed a Ferrari. It’s banana sandwiches
@@randomnerd3402 The problem with Gizmondo is that beyond the crazy aspect of Tiger Telematics and the fact that the surviving units are slowly melting- it had maybe 14 released games. The Gizmondo just is more of a blip in Gaming History. Maybe a quickfire episode including the Commodore G64 and Amstrad GX4000 would be the better option with the NEC PC-FX as well.
Same. Until I see a RUclips video talking about it, I forget the stadia exists. The fact that a company as big as Google can make a game service that forgettable is laughable.
@@John-XI will be honest though. If I ever get my hands on a 3DO, first game I am getting is crash and burn. Racing games in general are fun, and this is a 3do exclusive.
I remember having a Wii U when I was younger, and I had a good experience with it despite the poor sales. Everyone I talked to would ask me "Hey, do you have any games?" and I would be like "Yeah, I have some". Then when asked what console I had, I told them I had a Wii U. They usually looked at me "wtf is that?".
@@paulovalente738 Smash bros 4 was also really good. Yoshis wooly world. It has an exclusive mario tennis game. Sonic lost world I am planning on trying out soon. Most games have been ported over to switch anyways. But alot of others still havent. Another game I gotta mention that is an eshop exclusive to the Wii U is the game fast racing neo. It is pretty cheap, it was like 14 bucks. And it looks and plays pretty well to. 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. I dunno, I love my racing games. So I figured I would mention that If you didn't know. I am sure there are others. But fast racing neo is pretty legit for 15 bucks.
Wii U was misunderstood. Something that I appreciate about it over the Switch is how much personality it had. The OS wasn’t bland and silent and it had some great games for it.
ATTENTION BROTHER!!! I have two very very sweet girlfriends who I show off (I smell like 100 not-alive orangutans oh nooo) in my perfectly great videos that most people consider to be the reason of life! Thank you for you attention, dear dude kid km
Smash bros Wii U is still a killer smash bros. game. I can't really think of anything else though. I also liked the Wii U and 3DS eshops as well. A ton of games on the Wii U that still don't exist on switch yet. And switch just lacks the personality. All the menus are blank with no music playing.
Easier said than done as most places outside of the metro city areas may not have access to really fast internet or if they do, the connection would have bandwidth limits.
@@sbojan83 that’s... that’s the point of my comment? Stadia is aimed at people who can’t afford a high end pc to play games; but in places like Latin America where the “most public would be”, internet is REALLY slow (~5Mbps on average) really bad and really expensive, so if you can’t afford a high end internet Stadia loses its entire point which is to provide “affordable” high end pc gaming to people that aren’t able to pay for it.
I actually enjoyed the Ouya..... For 2 hours before it overheated and permanently broke. So much for that fan they claimed was so powerful since they didn't take in how you had to have proper ventilation.
I'm from Russia and I still have 3DO tucked away at the country house. It introduced me to the Wing Commander series. Funny thing is, it feels like in the entirety of Russia, only 2 people know about the existence of 3DO: me and the guy who sold it to me, lol.
Russia is very diverse, yes Moscow is very white but Russia in the Siberian wastes is very colourful. These parts are autonomous regions but all are part of Russia
The funny thing is that Sega of America had enough money to support the Dreamcast an extra 2 years we'll as Sega of Japan brought out the white flag and surrender.
So if Sega was able to make money making consoles again with quality and properly working well, then they should team up with Dell or Samsung to make the Sega Monolith: with a whole lot of features of the next generation of gaming and includes stuff fans want: Third Party and Indie Developer support.
same, since I had one It had some nice titles (Soul Calibur, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and few more) It was released bit too late, playstation 2 eat it :/
"Hey man, wanna compete in the console market with me?" "Yeah, wanna price our console so high that nobody who wants one can buy it?" "Definitely" -like 99% of failed consoles
Pretty much. Gizmondo was also to expensive. Like do they not know the current market that is available alredy? 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.
@@weeebie price does matter, that's why the 360 was cruising early 7th gen until the skin versions came out as at the time the PS3 was trying to sell for like twice the 360, which in pretty sure was priced to be more expensive than the the ps5 and series consoles
Whenever i see a company fails miserably, i feel bad for the people who founded and established it. I know this is how world works and no one stays relevant forever, but it’s kinda heartbreaking when you see someone puts heart and energy into something then it fails.
Scott the Woz actually mentioned that during E3 1995, Sega announced the Saturn was ALREADY available with a $399 price tag. Announcing that the Saturn was already available had actually pissed off many retailers cause they wouldn't be given the appropriate amount of time to market the game in their store. Thus, many retailers refused to sell the Saturn.
That and a handful of other problems. Sega Japan and Sega of America hated each other. The head of Sega America didn't want 2d games (something the Saturn excelled at) and only wanted polygon based 3d games. Both Sega of Japan and America did a bunch of stupid stuff.
@@Gatorade69 That's insane because I actually loved the 2D stuff back then. 3D was often meh because it wasn't something really mastered yet. Even now when people play games of that time period, the 2d holds up much better than a lot of the 3d stuff. And I was absolutely the target market. So I dunno.. Japan probably had it more right...
@@zhawkmoth3653 I don't necessarily think Japan had it more right, they did in some regards and not in others. It was Sega of Japan's idea to release the Saturn with no launch leaving a lot of pissed off retailers, some who dropped the console and did not sell it. 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. Both Segas made some really stupid choices, I wonder what could have been if they had both worked together.
Should have, but with Microsoft joining the console market, as well as many terrible decisions in the past including, the 32x, the limited life span on the saturn. The price of the saturn and not to mention, the fact sega pissed alot of retailers off with the surprise launch of the saturn (I know alot of things involving the saturn) but I think where sega truly failed at least near the end of their console life was trying to release before playstation 2. If they had bided their time instead of trying to beat everyone to market, dreamcast could have had alot more features that were wanted at the time IE dvd drive instead of the GD rom format. Overall their are many more reasons I didn't cover but in my opinion, these are the nails that hung sega for the dreamcast.
It is the damn truth. Lol I feel like everyone I know now is a con artist. The internet has completely removed the barrier to entry. As long as you got the views and the shares, regardless of how hated the video is or disliked it is. Or how bad the quality is. If it has a billion views. That is money at the end of the day. Kind of sad really.
@@sertiana2512 The Oculus Quest needs some real competition for the technology to become truly mainstream... So far, I ain't giving my money to the Zucc.
this thing was dumpster fire, always remember it thanks to AVGN, his videos were the best, Peanut butter gamer has great videos as well on this shit console
The Nintendo GameCube was a great console it deserved more success than it got. But the PlayStation 2 was the better machine because it had the best games most of the third parties avoided the GameCube and robes because of mini DVDs it was a lot easier to make games on the PlayStation to an Xbox then it was to make it on GameCube.
I thought the same thing. This is very much a StW type of video, but with Act Man's chad energy instead of StW's signature nerdy style (which ofc I still love).
People who bought a Stadia got exactly what they deserved. When I first heard about it I knew it was going to be a steaming pile of garbage because the idea of streaming anything is solely dependent on someone's internet speeds which seems like something everyone else suddenly forgot.
@@Andy-uq4hq almost like streaming a 6-8gb movie that buffers every 20-30 seconds. Then a 40 Gb game where your using another machine to run the game then routing it through the internet to you.
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.
@@v.k.healthlongevity9807 Damn, I wish I were rich. I struggle to pay my bills every month. You have no clue how I am and yet you'll make assumptions about someone you don't even know. HOW PATHETIC of a person you are.
I was amazed that anyone cared about the Ouya. I remember being so unimpressed when I saw the Kickstarter but a bunch of friends and youtubers I watched back then thought it was gonna be an insane innovation. It looked like trash and the backlash after it released was hilarious
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.
The only good thing about the Ouya was that it did spawn Towerfall that was later ported to PS4. One of the best arcade style local multiplayer games ever made.
I never even heard of the ouya but when I saw it in this video I knew it was doomed just from the size of it and the look of the hardware. It looks severely underpowered. If it had n64 level graphics I'd be surprised
...huh??? they literally designed it and advertised that u can mod it. just imagine if it didn't fail all the cool mods u could buy on the blackmarket. so wtf u mean satan and karen
It still baffles me how Sega was able to release one of the greatest console's in the history of gaming, the Sega Genesis, then go on to be completely irrelevant just 5 years after the end of that console's generation.
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.
@@MidwayMaiTais Somewhat. Sega of America did do a great job marketing the Genesis (and really helped Sega in America) but the Mega Drive was also big in Europe and South America too. There was a lot of animosity between Sega of Japan and Sega of America but both of them did a lot of idiotic stuff.

I dare say I enjoyed botw more on my wiiu that first time because of it even. not like botw runs well on switch either.

Everyone I talked to would ask me "Hey, do you have any games?" and I would be like "Yeah, I have some". Then when asked what console I had, I told them I had a Wii U. They usually looked at me "wtf is that?".

@@paulovalente738 Smash bros 4 was also really good. Yoshis wooly world. It has an exclusive mario tennis game. Sonic lost world I am planning on trying out soon. Most games have been ported over to switch anyways. But alot of others still havent.

Stadia is aimed at people who can’t afford a high end pc to play games; but in places like Latin America where the “most public would be”, internet is REALLY slow (~5Mbps on average) really bad and really expensive, so if you can’t afford a high end internet Stadia loses its entire point which is to provide “affordable” high end pc gaming to people that aren’t able to pay for it.

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.

Scott the Woz actually mentioned that during E3 1995, Sega announced the Saturn was ALREADY available with a $399 price tag. Announcing that the Saturn was already available had actually pissed off many retailers cause they wouldn't be given the appropriate amount of time to market the game in their store. Thus, many retailers refused to sell the Saturn.
This. The Saturn was rushed to come out before the PS1, which led to supply issues and a lack of games.
That and a handful of other problems. Sega Japan and Sega of America hated each other. The head of Sega America didn't want 2d games (something the Saturn excelled at) and only wanted polygon based 3d games. Both Sega of Japan and America did a bunch of stupid stuff.
@@Gatorade69 That's insane because I actually loved the 2D stuff back then. 3D was often meh because it wasn't something really mastered yet. Even now when people play games of that time period, the 2d holds up much better than a lot of the 3d stuff.
And I was absolutely the target market. So I dunno.. Japan probably had it more right...
@@zhawkmoth3653 I don't necessarily think Japan had it more right, they did in some regards and not in others. It was Sega of Japan's idea to release the Saturn with no launch leaving a lot of pissed off retailers, some who dropped the console and did not sell it. 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. Both Segas made some really stupid choices, I wonder what could have been if they had both worked together.
Heeeeeeeeeh
I'll say it, the sega dreamcast should have succeeded.
Ooo so controversial
Should have, but with Microsoft joining the console market, as well as many terrible decisions in the past including, the 32x, the limited life span on the saturn. The price of the saturn and not to mention, the fact sega pissed alot of retailers off with the surprise launch of the saturn (I know alot of things involving the saturn) but I think where sega truly failed at least near the end of their console life was trying to release before playstation 2. If they had bided their time instead of trying to beat everyone to market, dreamcast could have had alot more features that were wanted at the time IE dvd drive instead of the GD rom format. Overall their are many more reasons I didn't cover but in my opinion, these are the nails that hung sega for the dreamcast.
"This would be totally acceptable today but back then products had to be complete" oh my god I hate how true that is 🤣

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.

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.

I was amazed that anyone cared about the Ouya. I remember being so unimpressed when I saw the Kickstarter but a bunch of friends and youtubers I watched back then thought it was gonna be an insane innovation. It looked like trash and the backlash after it released was hilarious
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.
The only good thing about the Ouya was that it did spawn Towerfall that was later ported to PS4.

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.
@@MidwayMaiTais Somewhat. Sega of America did do a great job marketing the Genesis (and really helped Sega in America) but the Mega Drive was also big in Europe and South America too. There was a lot of animosity between Sega of Japan and Sega of America but both of them did a lot of idiotic stuff.
