The laseractive also had a turbografx 16 add on which was awesome. Laserdiscs were around back in the 80s and they were awesome in sound and picture and introduced me to audio commentaries.
Yes! That's exactly what I was going to say too.
TG16 & PCE
The dreamcast was amazing, had the best arcade games
Seriously the Dreamcast for as short of a life as it had was amazing.
Saturn and PS Vita were also amazing although the barrier of entry both then and now are still rather high.
You forgot Ready to Rumble Boxing. First released on Dreamcast. I loved that game.
They forgot a LOT of games but its a short vid i guess. Soul Caliber, Cruising USA, R2R ect. Plus I'd have to argue Sonic Adventure was there ONLY completely 3D success as the rest were trash.
I actually love the Wii U. The name was dumb, but it was a great console with a lot of great games. Also, it's one of, if not the easiest console to homebrew, and it's really powerful.
Powerful?
@@01020m it's literally just three gamecubes stacked on top of each other
It was great to use to emulate on my pc that was it.
Wii U had a ton of great experiences, ram smooth and very few glitches. Mostly it was a tablet for RUclips tho lol
@@TommyAgramonSeth duct taped together and connected with GameCube controller extension cords
I literally cannot stop laughing at this video also Austin needs to bring back that mustache
The weirdest console i had was a SNK NeoGeo pocket, i randomly picked up at a flea market. It came with three games and they were completely weird. They were like original GameBoy games, but recreated during a fever dream.
How'd you forget the Atari Jaguar & it's controller of like 20 buttons!? I remember going to some party place & playing the Bruce Lee game on that thing.
i love the Wii U ngl. you could, at least in any of the houses i've lived in, play at least 1 room away from the main console. i think my main issue with the Wii U was lack of 1st party games outside of the usual shitting out of Mario related games which even that was lower than usual
@3:48 That Austin mustache though 🤣
This is my new favorite channel
Should have included the Zeebo or the Que N64 System in a Controller thing.
lmao PS Vita was weird?? it was an awesome successor to the PSP! I remember back in 2013 when I was into army and everybody had "cheap" PSPs to play and kill time while there was only one "rich" guy that had the PS Vita and I once watched him play a Batman game and it was simply amazing!
I really liked the Wii U, the large gamepad made it incredibly comfortable to hold and playing DS games on it was a great experience, it's a shame they didn't continue with dual screens with the switch (Wii U style, not DS style).
Wait, you could play ds games on the wii u?
@@realslimsh8yyou can play gran turismo on it lol
OnLive TV console... Was super ahead of its time. I wanted one after playing through the PC app. Glad I never did get one, but I digress.
Yeah on live was one of those things that I wanted and then immediately didn't. And of course Sony bought them and as far as I know did nothing with it.
Onlive failed the same reason Stadia, and Xbox game pass failed... Internet is not fast enough for smooth streaming gaming.
@@Keepskatin Gamepass isn't a cloud gaming service nor has it failed.. yet.....
@@thelazyworkersandwich4169 You are incorrect my child.
@@KeepskatinYou're the one who is incorrect. Xbox Game Pass is actually successful as most Xbox console owner has subscription to it.
Also the game streaming feature is called Xbox Cloud Gaming which is a separate service from Xbox Game Pass. Dunno how successful it is though but I imagine that it should be somewhat successful, maybe.
Dreamcast definitely had protection, there was just a boot cd that circumvented it. Also you had to download the isos, you couldn’t rip them yourself.
and the second revision fixed the piracy problem since the way you ran games on cds on it was patched
And it was so successful that it stopped nobody.
Matt, you're going to pull a muscle yelling "HELLO" for the intro! haha!!
My girlfriend just bought me the Dreamcast for my birthday last week. I honestly enjoy it so far, I never got to experience it growing up as it died a few months before I was born
My friends had like 4 or 5 Wii’s and I love that someone finally acknowledged it
What kind of boom arms are they using to hold the mics? I'm looking for a good quality, decent priced boom arm.
Dope y’all got a sponsor! I love when my fav creators get paid
heyooo, that Harrys link doesnt work, can you please take a look at it? that offer seems very interesting
I actually owned a Nokia N-Gage back in high school and I loved that phone. It was so dumb and I knew it was dumb, but my dad asked what phone I wanted and we saw the NGage there at the mall's cell phone kiosk. I got it. I never got any more games for it but I played the default Tony Hawk's Pro Skater that came with the game so many dang times. Man, I wish I still had it. I have every other cell phone I've ever owned so I am surprised I can't find that thing around still. Maybe my dad threw it in the trash out of spite.
I DID have the phone functionality for the N-Gage and it was actually not bad! It worked just as good as any other phone, it was easy to text on because it was used as a game console, and you got used to holding it a certain way so you could hear people while talking into it clearly too.
The problem of swapping games I never had to deal with because I never owned any other games for it (just could not find them anywhere, not in a regular game store anyway), so I just left Tony Hawks Pro Skater in there and played it whenever I got bored. I did get a Game Boy Advance Original though so that quickly replaced my NGage.
I graduated high school in 2004 so yeah.
I also owned a Virtual Boy and I LOVED that thing as a kid. I am one of those weirdos who doesn't handle motion in VR well, but I can handle 3D like no ones business. The 3DS was awesome for me too.
In the middle of the Harry sponsor, youtube put in a Dollar Shave Club ad lol
The Dreamcast had copy protection, actually extremely good copy protection. The issue was it can read karaoke CD's and those don't have Dreamcast copy protection so it doesn't run the check for them. Someone (I actually think it was Action Replay) figured out how to make it boot games while booting into karaoke mode. It's an exploit but it doesn't truly crack the copy protection, and this meant that a lot of games had to be compressed or have elements cut out of them to fit on a CD since it's only 60% the capacity of a GD. I remember Sonic Adventure is missing some music for example.
11:06 was THE best analogy for the Vita that I'll *ever* hear in my lifetime. Bravo 👌
This is has to be one of my favorite channels. 😂
That hyper scan I had was crazy. I remember playing Ben 10 and half the cards not working
Honestly. I had a Sega Saturn as a child. It was my only console of that generation, so it is nostalgic for me personally.
I remember, when Philips CDi came out, I spent hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of dollars on it.
I even purchased the expansion card, that allowed me to play movie discs!
Then, I spent another $300, for the online kit.
After that, I came to my senses, purchased a Sony Vaio PC, and never looked back...😂😂
I actually had the hyper scan with the X-men game! Talk about a nostalgia trip
I was at E3 2004 & the Phantom prototype was at the show & playable.
Y'all crazy n-gage was amazing!
God I love this channel
guys you need to do a video about the 90's sega channel online/cable gaming set-up
The thing that really confused me about the Wii U, why, whyyyyyyy, did no one make a DnD game for it? It would have been the killer app for it. Players play split screen on the TV, DM uses the controller to steer it all! Such a hugely missed opportunity, especially seeing as how DnD has exploded since!
Or a remake of LoZ: Four Swords!
Best outro ever!
I just remembered where I know you from Matt, you used to come to the IGN #Playstation #Beyond podcasts as a Guest all the time back in OG #IGN days. Your obsessed with the #Persona Series and your the one who got me to get it when it was on PS Plus mads long ago in the Ps3/Ps4 days. Man I miss #Beyond, didn't you used to work at naughty dog or one of those big AAA game dev studios?
I forget the other game at the moment but THANKS for always talking about Persona or I'd have never got into #Persona3 and every other 1 since. Rock on brother I been watching but now ill be sub'd on all ur channels
Dreamcast Power Stone was epic.
I can agree that the PsVita was a fail due to sales, but they did do a good bit with it. It got quite a lot of games. Got a lot of ports. Still has been getting updates until like early 2022. It was even almost a smartphone with the touchscreen and internet access.
As an owner of a PS Vita, it was actually really good. I liked it.
Especially if you jailbreak it.
had a saturn and modded it with 50/60hz switch and action replay.. best 2d ever!! so many games
On dreamcast I played mostly swords of the beserk.. time stalkers and resident evil code veronica and Sakura taisen . CLASSICS
Is Austin wearing his t-shirt backwards during the Harry's add read?
The Tottori Sand Dunes (鳥取砂丘, Tottori Sakyu) are large sand dunes located just outside the city center and are Tottori's most famous tourist attraction. They span roughly 16 kilometers of coast along of the Sea of Japan and are up to two kilometers wide and 50 meters high
A sand dune is a large, wind-blown pile of sand. Deserts have sand dunes; sand dunes aren’t deserts. The Tottori sand dunes are actually slowly shrinking because vegetation in the surrounding area are able to grow and reclaim the space.
Can't believe they forgot about Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 in terms of S tier games on the Dreamcast.
The Dreamcast _did_ have copy protection but the MIL-CD compatibility introduced a security hole. Revision 2 Dreamcasts actually lacked support and you couldn't just burn a CD anymore.
Also the N-Gage released on a Tuesday... Taco Tuesday
I actually use Harry's razors, surprised to see em sponsoring a this is video, but I love those razors, best I've tried so far and I've used lots cuz i got sensitive skin sadly
I must've had a VERY different Nokia Ngage (or maybe 2.0 version?)... I didn't take the battery out (didn't even take the battery COVER off) to change my games, The ear speaker was on the face of the phone like all my other cell phones.. As of a year or year and a half ago I was looking through an old box of electronics and pulled it out thinking "maybe it still works, maybe there's still replacement batteries available?". I remember getting it when Cingular Wireless still existed before they bought At&t and merged. I still own Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider, Call of Duty... LOVED that cell phone (loved Nokia in general with their near indestructible little brick phones lol).
I have Pandemonium, Tomb Raider and FIFA!
That's the N-Gage QD. It was more convenient and looked a bit less stupid, but Nokia cheaped out on the buttons. The buttons were stiff and clunky, it was so bad.
laserdisk is literally 1970s technology, so it's not a surprise that it's so huge, it even predates both Betamax and VHS. The reason why it was commonly used for interactive ""games"" is because laserdisk was random access, and so you can really accurately locate data you need, without fast forwarding or whatever. (Yes I know that the CAV and CLV discs work differently, but that is not the point)
Actually the dreamcast did have anti piracy. the games that were burned onto discs were already modified images with the autoloader on them.
Dreamcast! I love that system! Yes I burned games and some needed boot discs. I even had a boot disc to watch movies on the Dreamcast
3:54 Super grippy two toned 😩🤤
Dreamcast was awesome Dead or Alive 2 was awesome on it. Also you forgot the best handheld the Tiger Game Com , the only games i had for it was Duke Nukem 3d and Mortal Kombat Trilogy and it was in black and white but it was great.
I STILL have my Panasonic FZ-1 R·E·A·L 3DO Interactive Multiplayer which doesn't get as much use as my other consoles. Remember the classics such as Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed, Return Fire, Star Control 2 and Road Rash? To name a few.
I hope everyone finds something that pleases themselves as much as that Phantom pun pleased Matt.
I dm on this is on telegram it's a con my message from them under my comments is no longer showing scam and now it's deleted. Scam be careful
I do love laserdiscs! I have a small collection but I need to get a player they are very expensive.
And as far as I know the lasers in them are finicky as hell. And I'm assuming most are either dead or dying if they were used at all and even if they weren't probably.
"Sony had a king and an ace and said HIT ME!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt look at that on top of lip Matt 🤣😂🤣😂thats a mustache crime
"You certainly shouln't want to be playing virtual boy" had me cracking up.
Jet set radio for Dreamcast. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😫😫 Classic
1:27 It was Uncle Derek! He brought it back!
#SSFF
Matt is VERY right about the PS Vita. Sony just gave up on it, really early into it's cycle. No ads, no support. It was a great system, that sold ok, but Sony just quit on it.
They were killing it with the PS4 and just decided to cut the Vita loose.
It was a short-term decision that had long-term consequences. They can never go back to the handheld market now if they ever wanted to.
They burned that bridge to the ground.
It makes me so angry about it too. The vita is one of the greatest handhelds IMO. Featuring a fairly powerful SOC for the time, with a brilliant screen, excellent controls for it's formfactor, AND thanks to it's digital library having the ability to play PS1 and PSP titles, an on launch backlog (which helped since the launch titles were kinda meh.) On top of that, it was powerful enough that we saw ports of classic PS2 and even PS3 titles! The sly cooper collection is a must have despite it's slow-downs in some sections.
I love my Ouya. Still have it, side loaded google play on it, fantastic console
Hey Matt. I'm starting to get really big like you and most department stores don't fit me anymore. Where do you buy your clothes bro?
Dreamcast got a lot of good arcade fighting game port's from Snk/Sega especially Capcom and there other game's
I liked the Wii U, but it was horribly named. I had no idea what it was until I got my WW edition
I still have two dreamcasts and it's one of the most underrated systems despite the no DRM.
My cousins had the Pioneer LaserActive, we played so many Sega Genesis games and we always thought that LaserDisc was better than CD/DvD 😂
I had a virtual boy when it came out when i was a kid and I remember playing bomberman on it and then 20 min later having to turn it off because of the motion sickness
i was literally talking about the laser disc to my gfs dad yesterday XD i had one back in the day that i think my dad got a pawn shop for cheap i only had 2 movies for it thoughTerminator 2 and Maximum Overdrive
I will always remember Cinamassacre’s review on virtual boy
Since you had Phantom, you should do a list of "Scam consoles" like the Calico and Amico, etc.
Do a video on the clicker vision in television Atari, 53, 230 70 something hundred
The Wii U was great. It suffered from poor marketing.
The Wii U was good come one man
I HAD A HYPERSCAN, I LOVED IT!
Sorry Matt but the Excuse Me Princess was from the Cartoon spot not the CD-I games
Matt's entire experience seems to be from RUclips poops so I don't expect much.
I was actually going to get a sega Saturn like 2 weeks ago
Before you dunk too much on LaserDisc though, the major feature of that format was that it was actually _analog_, not digital... and that made it far superior than any of its contemporary counterparts.
Plus the fact that you could actually use a _fast_ forward feature, compared to the bullcrap VHS called "fast", and had almost instantaneous chapter swap, that all made LaserDisc _the_ format of choice for many people who actually cared about visual and audio quality... but admittedly, it was sadly only really available for, if not rich, then at least rather well-off people.
The LaserDisc can be used digitally though. Also they were incorrect when they said the LD can carry less data than CD. CD carries 700 MiB of data while LD can carry 3.27 GiB (3348 MiB) of data.
the memory cards for the vita were insanely expensive
In fairness to the Ouya, it was a pretty decent emulation box, and is relatively inexpensive compared to some Android TVs
I still have my OUYA and love using it for retro games as despite Austin claiming the controller sucked, it was actually a somewhat premium feel on the Kickstarter version that had a metal feel to the covers.
Still have my OUYA!! Those bluetooth controllers are still pretty nice!!! lol
11:06 so true
I bought an ouya i used it for Kodi and it was great to run retro games but when kodi got to heavy for the system I sold it and got a amazon fire TV box
9:30 "This glorious masterpiece"
*Proceeds to show footage of a cartoon, not the significantly worse CDi games.
The Saturn was my firs game console i played still got it.
Never even heard of the apple pipin, the phantom looked cool but it sucks it was a bs console. I loved the Dreamcast
I _HAVE_ an Cheetah annihilator and two C64 GS, it is fun when the cartridge's made for the C64 say "press F1 on keyboard to start". There is even one Ocean (?) game that says "compatible with C64 GS" but needs a keyboard, so go figure.
Oh, and just if you wonder, the joystick is a 3rd party and terrible, no micro switches, cheap brittle plastic and terrible feel to it.
10:20 vita was goated it was essentially a ps3 portable. Playing MK9,uncharted and hot shots golf and I think persona 5 was on this thing I had this thing and it was my childhood
I got a Virtual Boy as a kid. The game play was so bad; I only remember playing it a few times. I don't even know what happened to it; guessing my mom got rid of it.
FINALLY!... A SPONSOR!!!
I feel horrible with the recent closure happening but I delayed playing stadia until a few months ago because I thought stadia and ouya? Were the same thing.
08:15 The Tottori Sand Dunes are Japan's largest desert, a 16 kilometer by 2 kilometer (9.9 x 1.2 mi) strip of sand located on the edge of Tottori City on the Sea of Japan.
Both Wii U and PSVita have great new design and idea, but there's just aint enough dev that want to spend time design gm that specifically to those unique features; they all just wanted a simple design that can port to all three or four platforms (PS, Nintendo, Xbox, PC)
I have so many great memories playing King of Fighters 95 or Samurai Shodown on my cousins Neo Geo CD, I envied him so much until I got my Playstation 1, which we also played together many many afternoons eating cake and drinking soda, great times.
The CD-I wasn't a console. It was a multimedia device that happened to have a few games on it. I heard a story in a comments section from a CD-I youtube video saying that this person worked at a retail store that sold CD-I's, and the CD-I was almost never sold as a console.
I don't understand why the WiiU gets so much hate, yea it had a lot of short comings but the pad was cool for the few games I played, granted I only bought it for Zelda games like WindWaker, Twilight Princess, Hyrule Warriors, and BOTW and only 3 of those games had uses for the touch pad but it was fun I had a lot of fun with it. While no one loves it I love it and charish my time with it.
panasonic 3DO?
Can't believe they didn't mention that the pack in game for the C64 console wasn't ported from the full Commodore 64 version correctly and couldn't be played without the keyboard
I didn't think the N Gage was a console but like a hand held like the GBA.
It hada million buttons
