/vr/ - Retro Games

I worked at Electronics Boutique/EB Games leading up to and beyond launch. Fucking no one took the shitbox seriously. Seriously, one of the "selling points" we were coached on leading up to release was how the controllers had the breakaway cables in case a kid ran in front of you while you were using it. The whole marketing campaign was dumb.
It's amazing it didn't flop like the Jaguar or the Ngage (the latter of which we also carried during my time there). Had Nintendo been taking themselves seriously and had Sega not capitulated, the fucking Monster Energy/Kyle Box would now be a footnote. Instead, every active duty .ember and veteran has one in their house just like their dependa.
