Sorry about the dust particles on some of the black consoles. I tried my darndest to dust it off, but it just comes back immediately and it really picks up on camera. Games played: Ghouls n' Ghosts (0:00), Banjo Kazooie (0:36), Contra III (1:06).
Another honorable mention is my
TURBOGRAFX-16 North American release it was my first 16 bit system in 1992 when I was 14 years old and when I saw its design I thought wow! It just looked sharp when I held it I'm looking at this console with my eyes real close to it as if I'm looking straight down a 2x4 Longview and it was 16 bit and I was excited because I was playing regular Nintendo all the time but the TG-16 design was a site to behold still to this day.
Try using a microfiber rag you can pick them up cheap and what you do is you wipe the top of the bottom of your console and it collects dust like a magnet that is the magical rag look it up buddy if you don't know what it is I never ever go without that rag!!!
It's okay bud, we still love ya.
I wanted to get a toothpick and clean out the top of the sides of the consoles :P
I think I speak for us all when I say, sorrys not good enough!
I always thought the Dreamcast looked fantastic. It packed so much power for how small and sleek it is.
Too bad the Dreamcast was about as reliable as a fall down friend
It looked like yesterday's news when the ps2 launched. That thing looked like the future- the first console designed to complement high end av gear. Preferred the dreamcast myself but it wasn't a looker
It looked good but just needed a new paint job. Slick black like the genesis and it would have been fire.
it did
@@eponymous7910 I had both PS2 and now proudly a white region free modded Dreamcast. The Dreamcast is way cooler than the PS2 in about every way, especially the console itself. Plus, with the LED’s in the controller ports than can be changed to any colour I like via an app, it’s the best looking console, no question. Absolutely Love the thing. It’s what I like to call ‘Retro-Futuristic’. 🐟
For me it’s the Super Famicom (not the American Super NES) and also the PlayStation 2 because of the options to go vertical or horizontal and the sleek look.
Its always simplicity that gets me. The ps2 ls my favorite looker out of the playstations line. It's a box but it has small little details here and there and looks really nice
Europe and Japan had the same design for SNES. Called SNES in Europe (and North America). Super Famicom in Japan. North America had that crazy design which I don't like.
A european/japanese SNES in good/new condition looks so good!!
But I love the american SNES cartridge design more than the europan/japanese (rounded) version!
And besides looks, those are arguably the two greatest consoles of all time.
@@cringedefender5264The PS2 Slim especially charms me; there's something special about playing Jak & Daxter on a sheet of cardboard.
My favorite design is probably the Dreamcast. It totally was like a gateway to the new millennium. I really like Genesis model 2, might be bias because it was my first console but I thought it was a really cool design
You should’ve told us you had the PS5 slim. Love the new rounded design! Definitely the best looking console in the video.
My favorite console design has to be the GameCube. But I must say, I grew up as a SNES and was always jealous about how drop dead sexy the Genesis was. Also, I would love an episode on power cables.
Power cables got pretty standardized at one point recently, but oh man did they used to be a grab bag of crazy!
Unfortunately, the GC's console design is one of the main reasons why it wasn't popular at the time of its release. Looks fun & unique in retrospect, but during a time when the industry & audience were trying to distance itself from "kiddie"/"nerd" labels, Nintendo doubled down & kept referring it to it as a "toy" in interviews.
Yeah, 2001 me was too proud to not support Nintendo, but damn if all my friends didn't jump ship. And the handful of people I knew who were still interested, well they fully abandoned it when they saw the Wind Waker reveal & the new cartoon visuals for the next Zelda entry.
At that point, teens & young adults basically knew Nintendo wasn't going to give them what they wanted. A purple lunchbox (handle & all), no DVD player, mini-discs, selling their 49% ownership in Rare, no interest in supporting online gaming, no Mario game at launch & no serious Zelda (like their Space World 2000 demo showed us)?
Ouch. Plenty of fun games that still hold up great, just a huge failure sales-wise (biggest flop home console for Nintendo prior to Wii U) due to Nintendo ignoring their audience & industry, thinking they could dictate what people REALLY wanted... even if those same people already told Nintendo they wanted the exact opposite 😢
@@YourChannel-r4v this response is what an 8th grader would have said in 2002.
Definitely a take there. I too like to learn my shapes.
I have a Panasonic Q. It has a very shiny reflective silver front, it’s quite pretty to look at.
It’s a beautiful console.. I had one years ago and I regret selling it on eBay 😢
I'm def a huge fan of the funtastic N64 series! Watermelon and Ice Blue are probably my favorite, but they all look great. I really appreciate how colorful they are and I wish more consoles would come in a color other than black and white. I would take a bad looking console in a fun color over a sleek black/white console any day. I also really like the look of the gamecube and that it also came in different colors.
Having the different color options is always a nice feature. So long as it's not too expensive :)
I always loved my first Sega Saturn that had the oval buttons, it felt so sleek and well made, it was an amazing system,it was my first cd console that wasn't an add on
Yes, Saturn model 1 in NA looks really sleek for sure.
Yeah. I agree. I have the Model 1 Saturn with the Oval buttons and it is a really nice looking system. I much prefer it over the round button model.
Yeah, I really like how it looks, it maybe has something to do with the proportions and symmetry, it just looks pleasing.
Gamecube and Dreamcast definitely take the cake but I gotta say I much prefer the angular design of the SNES over the boring lump that is the SFC. Also, SNES still has the best power and reset switches of any console ever. And that eject button- perfection.
And our snes cartridges actually got end labels too. The SFC games got screwed with no spine labels.
The Megadrive has always been my favourite. Nostalgia probably plays into it even though I never owned one.
Close second is the PS2. Very simple and yet so much personality.
Number three with some distance is a tossup between the PS1, the Dreamcast, and the Atari 2600. all very iconic and with personality.
I love how consoles look. I have to admit that I am often just staring at my collection and taking some pictures.
My personal favorite design is the original Xbox, including the infamously huge Duke controller. When I first got mine, it felt like alien technology, especially with the sounds and visuals of the startup menu.
The Game Boy Advance SP and the NES top loader would be my 2nd and 3rd choice.
I liked this one too but with the see through green or blue.
I like it when the controllers and consoles share aesthetic design elements that make them "match" to the point even without branding on them, someone who knew nothing about video games could tell they go together. Consoles like the SNES, Genesis Model 1, Dreamcast, and Gamecube all fit this description.
I kind of agree, as in I definitely agree with the premise, but the SNES console and controller had a pretty strong juxtaposition in their design. At least in shape. The colors bring it together but that's any console that matches it's controller color isn't it. I mean if you had an orange spice Gamecube, Orange N64 controller, grey Wavebird controller, and grey N64 and had no branding or previous knowledge of video games, I think it'd be fair to mismatch them on first glance. Actually while hooking up either a PS2 or PS3 to the living room TV my mom helpfully offered the question of whether we had tried hooking the Xbox up to the VCR. I have no doubt she'd not be able to tell which consoles go together. Maybe that's an extreme example.
But on the topic of controllers that obviously go with the consoles, the Atari 2600, 5600, and 7800 have really got that nailed. I think the default PS5 does well there too. Many special edition consoles also are really great at this. The harder one is picking out controllers and consoles that don't seem to match. The Atari Jaguar and Sega Saturn disc controller don't look like they go with anything.
Retro bird, I'm glad I found your channel. I always know I'm in for a laugh with one of your videos. Don't loose that humor bro the world needs more of it
Although I've never owned one, there's something about the Super Famicom design that just resonates with me. I imagine myself playing the system in my own quarters on a futuristic spaceship. Even the console box art and the box art for games are absolutely stunning
I think it is the console's design that best encapsulates feelings of fun and comfort. The color's of the controller are so pure (other's have copied but never had the same impact) and the rounded design accentuates comfort of play. It is also something about the combination of the light grey and the bright colours that just pops.
Man this channel should have more subs with how professional it looks
Personally I like the game cube the best design wise. I like that comes in a lot of color variance and also how it looks A smart lunchbox if that makes any sense. Such a iconic design.
The N64 and the controller are both images that scream "FUN HERE" to me. The colors were great but the shapes were just soooooo fun.
The GameCube controller alone is the only thing I absolutely LOVE from a looks standpoint. Best controller Nintendo ever made.
The Sega Dreamcast is my favorite game console and my most favorite looking game console. The design is so sleek and compact.
i might be biased since i grew up with it but my favorite looking console has always been the dreamcast. its so sleek but unassuming, to me it looks like its saying "oh you wanna play some games? its the future of course we're gonna play some games." such a timeless look
After the 4th of July I have way too many bread bags and nothing to close them with. Retro Bird, I need you desperately
At the grocery store, I recently picked up a Super Mario birthday card that had an NES controller on it that you can press the buttons and lights will light up and you get the original Mario music and sound effects. I bought it to keep for a young person's birthday in the future who apparently likes Mario games. You might want to look it up to buy some to keep for future birthdays of people who are Nintendo and Super Mario fans.
I love the beefy look of OG Xbox, ps2 is like that awkward stage in life right before puberty lol but still not bad, PS3 was like a spaceship and sounded like one, 360 was like a slender neat console, I like so many for the way made a enclosed computer system look just cool regardless
"My god, am I even qualified to operate this?" 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah... that Mega Drive text is definitely some techy word salad if I've ever seen it.
The N64 (specifically the Funtastic models) have my heart, but my mind says the PS2 for one big reason: I feel like its design has aged impeccably. One could say that it ushered in the "boring black box" era, but I have to give it points for still looking this good and modern 20+ years later.
It does still look pretty good. Just recently took mine out to play some guitar hero 3. It had been maybe 5 years since it got any love and for the first time I thought it actually looked old. Still iconic though.
I absolutely agree! Its the only console I never store away, becauce its such a beauty and I just love looking at it.
When put vertically it looks like a sleek desktop. I think it's pretty dull but rather dull than ugly.
And there's a certain beauty to the slice of cardboard (affectionate) that is the PS2 Slim.
It's just aged well there's nothing cheesy or really wierd about it. I think it's like atari in the 70s where they gave it wood panels to make it look like furniture. The ps2 kinda looks like a DVD player well because it was one but it didn't stick out like a xbox or a game cube
No one ever talks about it so I will. The OG Panasonic 3DO is a very pretty and professional-looking console...yup, I said it.
P.S. I do prefer the look of the Model 2 Genesis. It's sleek, sexy, and compact...even with both the Sega CD and 32X attached.
Years ago, I had the model 1 Sega Genesis with the model 2 Sega CD. It was pretty awesome. 🙂
@@marccaselle8108 That's the set-up the Bird has.
Great looking machines!
I don't understand why the North American SNES isn't a popular design, it was ahead of it's time for me, modern, boxy, bright, and i love the purple honestly.
Call me an oddball but I personally loved how simple the Model 3 Genesis looked and the font used on the front of it. I like the streamlined slimmed down look
Love the GameCube design. And the controllers are so cute.
Oh I'm glad you mentioned the mighty ColecoVision it was a cut above the competition in graphics and it's futuristic console design!!! Stunningly beautiful!!!
Your humor is so up my alley these videos are hilarious
Obscure take, but the Panasonic 3DO FZ-10 always looked really cool to me. I love the Dreamcast looks, the Genesis looks, and even a bit of the TurboGrafx-16 (although man they messed up the back end with that port and cover that doesn't properly fit), however the 3DO FZ-10 is just so different and futuristic-looking, it's awesome. Also, may just be me but I always thought the Jaguar looked pretty neat. Lastly the Neo Geo AES is pretty cool-looking too.
I know it's basically just a TV, but I've always found the Vectrex so interesting. Ever since I learned about it I've wanted one, it's a shame that it's so expensive. But If I couldn't choose the Vectrex I think I'd have to say the Sega Genesis and Dreamcast are a tie for me.
I used to have a Vectrex and hate that I sold it. The display was so unique and the controller was one of the best!
That's a pretty solid choice. I had a feeling it would get some love in this topic :)
I’ve always been a huge fan of the white pc engine duo design, it has that minimalist quality you also find in the dreamcast and white 360 slim. All 3 look pretty futuristic because of this imho
Whatever neighbor saw you skipping around the sidewalk with a GameCube, three controllers and an A/V cable sure had a good laugh. 🤣
The woodgrain Atari 2600 is S tier and the joystick controller is arguably more iconic than the NES.
Fun fact: on Roku TVs, if you go to change the icon of a port to one relating to videogames, the only option is a silhouette of an Atari 2600.
The Neo Geo AES and Dreamcast still have a very modern look to them. Very true about the Genesis looking like stereo equipment. I'm sure that's what they were going for. I believe the SNES was designed so you couldn't put drinks on it. Even though you can.
I love how the Aes looks. Such a sleek and beast look all at once. That Cartridge slot scream, you ready for a real game?
I love the designs of classic gaming consoles more than their modern versions. I have a few looking cool gaming console designs. I love my Japanese Pokémon Pikachu Nintendo 64. Cool video. ^_^
For me its got to be the Sega Genesis and original Xbox. Both looked really 👍
I loved the Mountain Dew Xbox. It was loud and proud!
Hard to say, I had many of them and loved them all. The NES is iconic. The Model 1 Genesis was sexy. The original PlayStation looked fantastic and might be the best looking of all. The Dreamcast was a very good-looking console.
Love to binge your videos, really appreciate how you keep things fairly PG!
Oh man that clip of you heading down the sidewalk with your GameCube was priceless lol. But I got to say, the 64 and original genesis are the best looking consoles ever made. They just look like they would win in a console brawl.
Love watching your videos , super under rated . Will keep watching your video!
Thanks for a great video about an unexpected topic!!
My favourite looking Sega console is the Sega Master System (love the buttons on the system, and I thought the red rectangle looked like a futuristic audio cassette - young me fell in love with it, and old me never stopped loving it), followed by the Dreamcast (off-white). I had no idea how different the Model 1 Mega Drive was vs. the Genesis... I like the look of the Genesis so much more than the Mega Drive.
For Nintendo, I hate the look of the Famicom. For the NES, I NEVER had issues with it running games. I love the look of the SNES, despite some mild color changing from age. Fun fact - my N64 was not used too much and always stored properly, and it's the only Nintendo system I have that doesn't work (NES and SNES still working fine)... I'm always finding new ways to be disappointed by the N64. To me, the Gamecube looks like an ugly lunch bucket. Wii and WiiU are pretty nondescript - which is fine, but not winning any awards.
*sees the Switch and screams* - THAT'S NOT A RETRO SYSTEM!! Burn it! Burn it!!
I thought the PS2 design reminds me of the Tron aesthetic... in a good way. I don't like the original PS3 design but I do think that the PS3 Mark 2 is really cool looking. *sees PS4 and PS5 - more screaming*
To me, the original XBox is the most attractive-looking game system that I have never owned... it's very distinct looking and cool.
I'm in Canada and still can't readily get a PS5 or X-Box Series X. I just give up. Retro gaming for life!!
This is my favorite episode so far, I’m super lazy and super nostalgic nowadays, and I spend more time reminiscing about the consoles themselves rather than actually playing them. My personal favorites are the Snes 2, the European Super famicom, and my favorite, the N64. There’s just something about those lines, so sexy and so sleek. I’ll always remember seeing the early reveals in EGM of the Ultra 64, and being pleasantly surprised that it was the same final design of the console. The N64 cartridges and controller are also works of industrial design art. I was always jealous of snes owners during g the 16 bit era, so when I finally got a current gen Nintendo console (the 64), it was anbig deal to me. I really cherished that red 64 controller.
The Genesis model 2 and Japanese white/multicolor Saturn also grab my heart too.
Oh, and good choice for the Super Soaker CPS 2000, that’s a great one.
That 64 with the clear green shell is awesome I only just have the regular standard gray one
The "funtastic" N64s are pretty sweet:)
This channel is way way to Wholesome for me to be anywhere near this comment section on that note you do very good work sir and you help me with my anger problem
Glad to hear. Anger can be a tricky thing to manage!
@@RetroBirdGaming you are way too wholesome to be replying to me but I would like to say does your gamerage try to slip into your real life when you're angry at video games or angry at your controller you still try to beat your do you try to beat your children or your friends but for children if they beat you in a video game tell me about your hatred
You finally got me. I've watched about 20 videos and finally subbed. I figured why the hell am i not subbed if im just gonna watch everything you're putting out anyways.
Welcome to the channel! Glad to have you here :)
Retro Bird.... You're so awesome !!
Pc-fx!! Sure it looks like a pc, but that's the point.they were aiming it at their biggest user base and it looked the business! We stuck with their pcs in the end, but it was a looker.
The marty was pretty sexy too.
Love older consoles, still play my Atari Jaguar weekly . In the lookout for a Dreamcast 👍👍
The Wii will always remain my favorite. Sometimes less is more. The white minimalist design and the simple disc drive with blue LED light really come together to give a classy vibe, the aesthetic of a premium (apple like) product. Love it.
I feel like the Wii really shows the beauty of its design when used vertically with the base. A really good design that hasn't aged that much.
I also really love the design of both the Gamecube and Dreamcast, but also the PS2 Fat, Xbox 360 S, PS1, Megadrive/Genesis, PC Engine Duo, PC Engine and Colecovision. In the more recent console I like the PS4 Fat design, especially in white. I don't really like the PS5 design however, but it's the most original of the last 3.
That's funny, because I've always referred to Nintendo as "the Apple of gaming"...and not in a good way.
I actually do prefer the look of the Genesis Model 2. I suspect since it's technically inferior to the Model 1, gamers tend to downright dismiss it, even if it has sleeker, symmetrical lines.
I’ve got a new model 2 in the box. Forgot I had it until I opened it a few weeks ago. I agree with you. It small and sleek. Good looking to me!
I owned a model 2 growing up, so I wonder if the model 1 just seems more novel to me since I didn't have it back then.
I think it depends on the console model you had when you were younger. Like me i much prefer de Genesis model one because thats what i had and nostalgia is a big part of why i love it. :0) i bought one a couple of years ago exactly like the one i had and i love playing and looking at it :0)
I grew up around both and while the model 2 is nice, there's this show-offy-ness quality to the model 1 that makes it feel like it's the showcase, vs the simple model 2. It's like the sports car vs the luxury car look, both are nice but something just makes me like the sports car look more.
personally i love the N64. the console and controllers are so alein and unapologetic. it looks like a magic toy and your game sticks up proud above a futuristic silent curvy beast. the console looks sleek and smooth. lots of colors to choose from too
Man, thanks to This Week in Retro for pointing to this channel. :-) It's like a lower-rent Scott the Woz with better writing, and less random destruction of things that aren't made anymore. 👍 I'm really enjoying it!
Hi Nick! Glad you're enjoying the channel and welcome aboard!
N64 and Dreamcast are awesome! I like to get the Slim versions of consoles now, because then some more games are out for it, maybe on sale. And any big performance issues will likely have been ironed out.
man this channel is underrated
I love your sense of humor, that PS5 had me laughing my ass off🤣
N64 and Original Xbox with that 90s translucent shells!
If we're only counting home consoles, I would say the best looking to me are the N64 and GameCube. I like colors. Also, I have a blue Wii which I think looks a lot prettier than the original white color.
But I think if we include handhelds as well, the best looking are the DS and 3DS. They came in so many different colors and patterns with some even having logos/game characters on them.
Cool vid, there are a lot of really interesting looking consoles that have been released. I'm going to say the TurboDuo. It was a very cool and sleek looking console imo. Honorable mentions would be the Genesis (especially the MK1 w/Model 1 Sega CD), Neo Geo, SNES, "This is Cool" Saturn, and Funtastic N64s.
The FF13 PS3 Slim with the pink artwork looks pretty neat.
Did I just find the Doug Demuro of video games? Excellent video, the GameCube handle always gets a smile from me :)
The gold N64 is the coolest looking console. Fight me. 🤣 tbh, when my wife bought me the Halo 5 edition XBOX One, I thought it was kind of ugly lol! (I'm also the boring guy who likes the grey N64 controller the best 🤦). It grew on me though, and now, I think it's one of the sexiest consoles I've ever seen! 😍
This is my favorite video of yours btw. The intro was hilariously witty, and some of your best work yet! 😀 Thanks for doing what you love, because we love it too!
Thank you for that!
Nothing beats the 2600 heavy sixer.
5:56 Unfortunately, the color of my used Dreamcast is exactly this GOLD.
Mine is the Atari 7800. I like its wedge shape, the brushed metal panel and that rainbow stripe. Plus, the orange buttons on the joy sticks are pretty smart looking.
Blew my mind rotating the PS2 logo. It's been 20+ years and I didn't know that until today.
I liked the look of the launch Xbox 360 in white and grey. Wish that model was more reliable.
Absolutely agree. Sega Genesis model 1 is so gorgeous. Model 2 is a pretty console too. If you were talking handhelds the Game Gear was so nice to look at. The Gameboy Advance model 1 is so nice looking.
12:15 Ha! 😆 my first ever console repair was swapping out the CD mechanism.
The N64 is the best looking console to me. It had a vibe of being a powerful beast, so powerful it needed two columns on its side to support the 64-bit mightiness, haha. It's a really cool design.
Honey, he’s dancing down the street with the gamecube again…
Colecovision all the way baby!! That thing looks so good!! Glad it got a little mention there at the end :)
I still can't find a PS5 at retail price. lol... Love your videos and this was a great one! Always an interesting topic!
I have to say I like the look of the TG16 with the CD drive..
Atari 2600, Genesis, Xbox and Gamecube are my favorite designs. Dunno if I could pick a favorite though
I literally had to clip and share that Game Cube Gallop
The Vectrex is my favorite console design. The arcade brought into your home.
My favorite is the Gamecube but the best one I ever seen and owned is the N64 translucent colors consoles with their controllers! See thru consoles and controllers are the best ever! I owned two of the n64, the watermelon red and orange and I love them!
Hands down the best looking game console is the TurboDuo
It's a sexy AF console...but make sure you replace those capacitors.
I always liked the way it looks too. Especially the controller for whatever reason.
@@Marc_Araujo There's a guy on here named Chris Courage who used to be on the PCEngineFX forums & specializes in recapping them. Both my Turbo Duo & Turbo Grafx Express were recapped by him. He does excellent work.
It is a great looking machine for sure. I had mine recapped, Modded for Rgb, and Region Modded. I have it going to my Crt with the Hd Retrovision component cables and boy howdy does it look and play great.
TurboDuo is pretty good but if I'm allowed to pick it (and technically I think I am), then the new Atari VCS is the winner, hands down. Wooden inlay for the win
I know you said that you only mentioned the common ones. Some of the less common are pretty nice looking though. The Panasonic 3DO, Sega CDX and PSone with the attached monitor are pretty cool looking. I think my favorite is probably the Black Sega Sports Dreamcast.
I love the PS One with the attached monitor as well!
I gotta go Sega Genesis.
More importantly I would love to see a reaction video from your neighbors when you’re skipping down the road holding a GameCube 😜
There's usually nobody out there (besides cars passing by) but I do wonder if they ever see me filming from inside their windows.
I obsessed with PS2 designs both slim and phat and just look at its classy looking controller gorgeous Sony you nailed it!✨❤️
My favorite looking console is probably the PC Engine briefcase unit and the Genesis model 1 (with or without the Sega CD model1). After those I also love the Dreamcast, Atari Jaguar without the CD attachment, and the Colecovision.
Love the unappreciated aesthetics of consoles. Way oldie but goodie - Atari 2600, the fake wood grain, the minimalist black and red button of the joystick. But the Sega Dreamcast is my second favorite and also rocks the minimalist aesthetic.
Dreamcast and GameCube are standouts but I think Jaguar and Saturn have underrated designs. Xbox 360 S, OG PS4, and PS5 are also quite nice.
Dreamcast and N64 are definitely my favorite looking consoles. I like the NES too. It just fit in so well next to the VCR.
Heresy. The American SNES is a thing of beauty.
I'm personally a fan of it :)
Best looking console: Sega Genesis model 1. Still looks sharp and stylish to this day
5200 fan checking in. With the 5200 you can store your controllers in the console, and hide them so they are not visible. Let us see your precious Genesis do that!
I absolutely love the original white PC Engine, especially with the CD-ROM² and AV briefcase. It's weird how much I /don't/ like the Core Grafx or the Core Grafx II designs considering how similar they are to the original.
Super Famicom and Neo Geo AES is where its at!
I am going to say the favorite-looking console that I own is the Xbox 360. I really liked the curves and the lighted quadrants. I also liked that it looked great vertically or horizontally.
I’ll limit myself to consoles I currently own. My green Halo OG Xbox is my favorite design variant. The OG black Xbox with the Duke controller makes a great doorstop but give it a transparent green shell, a Halo logo and model s green controller and the whole console gets elevated to legendary status. Honorable mention goes to the OG PS3 which would look nice installed in a Tesla. Clean and sexy but a bit overweight. :) I’m breaking the rules but my Halo Reach 360 slim also needs some love. Good stuff! It’s why I collect!
Gamecube looks so good on a shelf!
Neo Geo had the pro-gear spec look and was big enough to look its price… along with the games. Also, first home console with a memory card… and the controllers were big and emphasized the arcade advantage.
The AES looks great but I would give it to the CD in terms of looks
@@brendanroberts1310 which model? I like the first for the tank nature but the Z looks cool too and I’ll take the double speed drive any day.
@@CharlesHepburn2 both look great.
I've always liked the look of the Panasonic FZ-1 3DO. And i think the North American snes is one of the best looking consoles ever.
That FZ1 is a great looking machine for sure.
Hot take : the PS3 super slim is the sexiest of all PS3's. The PS3 slim (non-super) gets all the love but it's too long in the depth dimension, and the super slim has that awesome disc door that you can whip open real fast, throw the disc in, and slam it closed. So fun.
