The "life support" joke about SEGA 32X remains my favourite piece of writing by AVGN. It's one of those things you don't think of yourself, but when someone else mentions it, you are fascinated by how true it is.
I once wrote an (unfinished) story where the R-Zone was an actual good console with amazing 3D graphics and outstanding VR and it revolutionized the game industry. The story even mentioned Tiger getting their shit together. I wish that was reality...
Ya'll ain't tried the V-Smile by Leap Frog, have you? God, those games were crap. Even as a 5 year old I knew they were crap. But I didn't have anything else to play so I willingly tortured myself to get good at those games.
Nah, the R-zone is definitely worse than the LJN Video Art. The LJN Video Art wasn't really a game system, and it was also made 10 years earlier. In the 80's things like that were more excusable. There is no excuse for something like the R-zone existing in the 90's. If it was made in the 70's I'd say they did the best they could with the technology at the time.
Darius French I don't know! I've played a few of their WWF games on the NES and SNES and they weren't that bad. The other games, on the other hand, I'll agree with.
Most things are better than Watchmojo's lists. They take the most commonly voted ones; they never search between the lines for things that might be even worse.
TheShadowlord90 For one thing, I bet the maker of those W.M.J. lists have never even: - Saw (TV or other visual media) - Listened (Music) - Played (Games) or tried (inventions, contraptions, food, etc.) 90% of the stuff they put on those lists.
I personally think the Virtual Boy has a solid enough library to not be so deserving of a high entry on this list. It's probably funner than everything on this list, to be honest.
2:22 Actually, that is a pretty good idea for developers that wish to implement four players. I know most companies back then did not want to risk it and only had two ports, but that is actually a pretty genius idea to just have a port on top of each controller, though I feel the bottom of it would be better for another port. At least, for the nineties, this was good. It was before wireless became a thing and already allowed the option to have at least eight controllers at the same time. It seems like a cool idea for those "wait, I wanted this after all" moments.
Amir Abudubai That is still buying an extra component, though. If the controller has an additional port, your pal can simply bring his over and you have multiplayer action.
I remember being a kid going to a parents friends house. He had a Sega 32X. He told me about how crap my SNES was and that he was playing with real graphics.
"Unlike the virtual boy which causes eye strain and headaches within minutes . . . This thing does it immediately." Ah ha ha! I was expecting a good point.
I got a 3do when the system flopped and my local walmart clearanced the games. For $100 I picked up 20+ games. Yes the graphics were better than other system, by far. I loved my 3do
I think that the R-Zone came from the planet Vegeta. "Hey, Vegeta! What the Scouter say about its ass-fucking, piece of shit while a cow jizzes on it level?" "Nappa, there are no words to describe just how bad this thing really is." "That bad? Not even over 9000?" "It is literally off the charts and gone into a black hole while doing so."
you missed out the Gizmondo. Cost 400 US$ and the budget 299 US$ version forced you to watch three adverts PER DAY. Also, a depressing battery life and titles such as "Mama I Want To Mow The Lawn"
***** And I who heard that according to WatchMojo.com, the Gizmondo was made by Tiger Telematics! Wait. Tiger? (No, it is not related to Tiger Electronics in any way.) And please note that Tiger Telematics, that Swedish shit, went bankrupt in 2006.
3DO was great for its time. It took years of hating to realize how great it was. And the controller connecting was awesome as well. That way no one needed a stupid four player adapter.
i really like the old videos with the commentary whilst the video is playing (meaning james did the commentary on the mic after the filming was done). i just find it way more funny. i love the anger and frustration too, lol. awesome
Something that really grinds my butt is when people say something like the PlayStation is better than Xbox. It's not, but it's not the other way around ether. Both of them have their own pros and cons which balance each other out and doesn't make one superior to the other. There's really no such thing as a perfect console. So if you own a console or a computer long enough, whether you like it or not, you're going to encounter some issues once in a while, and you just have to man up and deal with it!
My Uncharted PS3 works perfectly as everybody I know are on their 3rd-4th Xbox from RROD. Microsoft cut quality corners. Pushed component lifespans to extremes. Not in performance, but cheap heat sinking. Hopefully Microsoft is not excavating old Atari carts to make a hole for the Xbox1.
Kiron Khashnobish Honestly, I'm not trying to defend it. I've run into some problems with it. My point I'm trying to get around is that too many people are being too harsh on it. I've had the XB1 since Christmas last year, It works fine, the games run smoothly and I've yet to have any major problems with it. Do you honestly think that the XB1 is worse than the Virtual Boy? I mean come on! At least the XB1 is in color and you don't have to put face right up to it. I do like the XB1, which is why I'm always ranting at those who think it's garbage. I know you like the PS4, so how would you like it if everyone was saying that the PS4 is garbage? Then I'm sure you would know how I feel. I have nothing against the PS4, and I apologize for what I called it before. And I apologize for being a hypocrite and deleting you're comment, that was mean and stupid of me to do. So, I'm sorry for being a jerk and bothering you so much, I promise that I'm done with that now.
I have a question to everyone. When someone turns on a TV, do you hear it? Like there's usually some sort of sensation that goes on in your ears. I can't really explain it, but I'm hoping someone will know that same sensation.
Yes, i have the same sensation. IT all started when I was 5. I was watching TV, and i heard a thing in my ears that was really irritating throughout the whole day. But now, i just tap my ear (I know it sounds wired) REALLY HARD, BUT NOT TOO HARD, and it goes away. I guess this might help your problem whenever you have it.
I remember wanting the R Zone so bad when I was a kid... then I got it. And threw it in my closet. God, it was horrible. and I had Batman Forever. hahahahahaha, still remember that shitty excuse for music it played. #1 !!
I just love the thought of some kid screaming in agony at how bad a game console is. Imagine it's Christmas morning, you're nine years old you just woke up with a brand new R-Zone only to find it's actually a modern torture device. Then you can't even tell your parents how bad it is because they spent like $200 on the thing so you have to pretend you like it. The horror!
Jan Mycek I own alot of CD/DVDs for music, films and games and I've never broken a single one in my life. it's honestly not hard if you look after them and use the cases so saying they "break so easily" isn't really a valid point of criticism.
Thank you for being you, James! Your content has become an integral part of every day. If I can't get in at least an episode or two, I get pissy like I'm going through withdrawal. Here's to another 20 years of AVGN!
That's the reason the virtual boy was on a stand...... was not because of a genius not coming up with concept like everyone thinks.... it was to avoid lawsuits lol
the google glass at least uses some clever lenses that create the illusion that you're looking at a big screen at some distance in order to alleviate eye strain issues
That's actually brilliant to plug in controllers together :D If your buddy is playing too good you can secretly just unplug his controller for a while!
I remember when I was a little kid in the video game section of Toys-r-us, the virtual boy was the only console that wasn't being played, and I kept trying to have fun on it while I waited for the kids on the other consoles to finish but I just couldn't get into it as much as I tried.
I always found the Telstar Arcade to be quite cool. It looks like something who belongs on the Star Ship Original series from the 60's. Then again, it might work better as just a piece of prop. ;)
Good video. I only disagree with 3DO. It only bombed because of its price. Good console. Much clearer than Sega CD. They even had the best street fighter 2. The 2 player controller concept was good. Easier to pass around to because the second player wire extends longer.
DJ Deedahx Productions It would had been cool to have 2 ports with this concept. 3DO should get credit trying something new. It wasn't the best. I agree with you. But it wasn't as bad as AVGN said it was. Still a good video.
He's actually saving her from Bowser... or Koopa or whatever the hell that dragon's name is. I have that exact same toy chest. Got it when I was a kid and still own it. It's up in my attic right now filled with GI Joe, He-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures lol
I think forcing criminals to play with a LJN Video Art or an R-Zone would make an effective punishment... though they'd probably be begging for the sweet release of death before long.
The only good thing about the 32X is that it had Knuckles Chaotix (Epic Sonic game with beautiful soundtrack) which hasn't even been put on a game collection yet. SEGA! What are you thinking? Re-release that game!
You know, regarding the ESO controller, one possibility is they made it that way for multiplayer. Multiple players tend to spread around the room, and can have trouble with distace due to chord size.
greenmonkies22 because he commented saying that, they'll probably figure they should start getting on it, making one, itll be worse then the xbox one, oh my freaking god.. Don't let that happen!!!
The Virtual Boy did have a head strap, however it was so ungodly uncomfortable and tight that most people through it away. My friend still had his when I played it. I played Wario world and I didn't get very far on it before I started getting dizzy.
There was one kid on our block whose family owned a 3DO. Needless to say, he came over everyday to play on our Sega Genesis.
Wow I feel bad for him, at least y'all were chill enough to let him play with you.
Did you own a Sega CD or Sega 32X?
I loved the 3do
@@BlackSkul1Bois I had a sega cd, my friend had the sega cd and 32x and sega game gear with the tv tuner.. lucky bastard he was lol

Max Van 't Klooster I kinda disagree. the 3DO had some good games. They were just ported to other consoles.
Darkstar Archangel I actually own a Virtual Boy, they aren't too bad for what everybody says.
When you see the Atari 5200 at number 10, you're going to know that these consoles will be bad.
maybe dropping the ac adaptor caused an earth quake in the world upon being dropped
The issue with the 5200 wasn't physical size but lack of backward compatibility. Solved TOO LATE with the 7800

Hey guys, i just wanted to share i bought an R-ZONE a week ago, at the flea market for 5$.
wasted your money
Do flea markets do refunds?
thats overpriced
Cormbage Now that is sad, calling something you buy at a flea market overpriced.
Michael Breen its even more sad that its true
3DO wasn't that bad, it was just massively overpriced. The original Need for Speed on 3DO was amazing at the time.

Good video. I only disagree with 3DO. It only bombed because of its price. Good console. Much clearer than Sega CD. They even had the best street fighter 2. The 2 player controller concept was good. Easier to pass around to because the second player wire extends longer.
Uhh, the 3DO wasn't that bad, but why only one controller port? The wire is longer, yes, but eyesight deceives...
DJ Deedahx Productions It would had been cool to have 2 ports with this concept. 3DO should get credit trying something new. It wasn't the best. I agree with you. But it wasn't as bad as AVGN said it was. Still a good video.
4:28 why does it look like Mario is kidnapping the princess on that box there?
He's actually saving her from Bowser... or Koopa or whatever the hell that dragon's name is. I have that exact same toy chest. Got it when I was a kid and still own it. It's up in my attic right now filled with GI Joe, He-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures lol
5:35 -- That toilet joke... LOL!!!
4:51 That looks badass tbh with you. Original at least. Even the cartridge looks cool.
I found the Xbox One. 4:15
Anyone who opposes the death penalty should play some of these consoles themselves. I think it would change their minds.
I think forcing criminals to play with a LJN Video Art or an R-Zone would make an effective punishment... though they'd probably be begging for the sweet release of death before long.
We can't make them play these terrible consoles, even if they deserve it. The Constitution doesn't allow cruel and unusual punishments.
The 3DO isn't that bad. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties was a horrendous mistake on a console that was pretty innovative.
Nah. Death is too good for the worst criminal scum. Make them play these shitty ass games, instead.
Agreed.
In less than a minute,the Nerd make a better console review than youtubers.
(James is youtuber,The Nerd is the character)
One of the great, original RUclips game critics. And still one of the only ones I can stand to listen to. Thanks Mr Rolfe! A pleasure as always.
Oh man, those Tiger games were the worst.
Coolest video ever bro!!! you've got yourself a new subscriber!!
kebbie hill Enjoy yourself here.
kebbie hill welcome mate, have fun
Peter Doughty thanks!!
kebbie hill welcome to the nerd family
Justin Jolly thanks!! glad to be here!!
I'm remember playing a friend's virtual boy. It gave me a headache that eventually turned into the Flu.
Corona boy
If you remake this, please add the Hyperscan, LJN Video Art, and Amiga CD32.
4:13 hmm ...XBOX ONE is that you?
No... it’s the Philips CD-i.
@@ZeldaACFan17 woooosh
That’s what I though
Vaki Smithy w oo sh oosh w osh sooh shoo

The only good thing about the 32X is that it had Knuckles Chaotix (Epic Sonic game with beautiful soundtrack) which hasn't even been put on a game collection yet. SEGA! What are you thinking? Re-release that game!
What about Snatcher for the Sega CD? Pretty snazzy cyberpunk graphic adventure game.
***** The audio on that was bit-crushed to hell and back.
RuthlessKoopa1 i want to play Knuckles Chaotix Remastered on my phone and tablet
RuthlessKoopa1 relax, geeedy.
What about the arcade ports like Space Harrier, After Burner and Virtua Fighter?
Ah, yes. The CDi might have been bad, it was a literal fountain of memes. Faces Of Evil, Wand of Gamelon, Hotel Mario...
The CDI has the best games ever!
"this is like the biggest fuckin console I've ever seen"
*looks at my XB1*
well they're like the same size
You know, regarding the ESO controller, one possibility is they made it that way for multiplayer. Multiple players tend to spread around the room, and can have trouble with distace due to chord size.
(Un)fun fact: Atari 5200 controllers broke less than day one Xbox 360 broke discs
Only if you moved it while a disk was in the console and the console was on.
Kuno Sandgreen Whats wrong with 360 controllers? They're fine.
They're much better than the original HUGE XBox joypads
"This video was featured on the Huffington Post."
Well that's never gonna happen again lol
why
i remember the Rzone being a specific moment of misery in my childhood. Boy it sucked
9:57 I want you To read the 3 purple boxes.
There should be a fourth one that says "Get me away from it".
+Nana- chan I Agree!
+Nana- chan or "this thing is a inhuman piece of xenomorph shit!"
Lenny Face I think you might be right.
The fking 3 Boxes!
Some of these consoles make me wonder: did the assholes who made these even test them out before releasing them?
I had that stupid r zone lmao gave it away the same day
look at his expression, he's horrified!
and the commercial, the kid is screaming in agony!
At least LJN didn't make a console....
please, don't ever bring up the possibility ever again
oh god if that happened i wouldnt even walk down the same isle ever again the same way lol
greenmonkies22 because he commented saying that, they'll probably figure they should start getting on it, making one, itll be worse then the xbox one, oh my freaking god.. Don't let that happen!!!
BUT they make a NES-Accessory, which is as bad
Actually LJN did make a console, look it up on youtube,
The last one fucking murdered me! oh man AVGN is the best!
Not Jesus f wold you use
Wold?
Not Jesus k
Godd video
Thanks, Living With The Guzmans, thank you for your output.
E
Okay?
The Virtual Boy did have a head strap, however it was so ungodly uncomfortable and tight that most people through it away. My friend still had his when I played it. I played Wario world and I didn't get very far on it before I started getting dizzy.
XD Screaming in agony
I like how he keeps putting on content while he works on the movie
I like how the LJN drawing thing isn't here cause it was so bad that it's not even a console.
"plop it on top of the genesis like they are mating" i lost my shit XD
