/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10778209
nothing touches the pc engine duo

The Wondermega. Particularly the Sega model with the white ring and glossy finish on the disc lid.

>>10778224

>>10778209
>>10778224
Why are combo systems always the sexiest

>>10778209
I’ve always thought the gameboy micro looked great, and the FFIV limited edition is this amazing blue color

>>10778209
>>10778224
>>10778228
Yes yes,
HOWEVER

>>10778229
Because they were yuppie bait. These things were stupid expensive when they came out. You could buy a Mega Drive and Mega CD separately for significantly less money than a Wondermega.

>>10778209
Always thought the 2nd Sega Genesis model looked very good, it makes the Sega CD work aesthetically, and the black Sega Dreamcast is quite pretty, too. 90s Sega had great visual design on their hardware.

For Nintendo, the original grey NES has a nice and comparatively unusual minimalist design language. The way cartridges aren't loaded through the top, but rather by opening a little door on the front to slide one in and pressing it down, it has a look and feel of its own.
Of course, in practical terms it is janky and prone to certain wear problems, hence why nobody else did this, but it's fixable wear and once you're aware of it, you can avoid it in the future.
In the late 90s/early 2000s, Nintendo was riding the Macintosh meme with translucent colored plastic, which looked so-so on the N64, but quite nice on the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
I wish there was a GBA SP in Atomic Purple.

>>10778228
Ooh, very sleek.

>>10778231
I am consumed by unfathomable envy.
Reminds me of some limited edition Love Plus DS that I'll never have. (not posting it because not retro I guess)

>>10778273
DS is 20 years old and GBA is 23 its retro

>>10778279
GBA falls under /vr/ rules, DS doesn't.

>>10778283
Pussy

>>10778273
I don’t have that micro unfortunately…
I have a famicom micro at least

>>10778231
Why'd they have to kill GBC backwards compatibility on this model?

>>10778336
cart slot placement would be uncomfortable and lead to you ruining labels with your sweaty hands.

>>10778283
This is why we need a /vr2k/ board.
>>10778340
Fair point, I've never played one so I forgot the cart slot was on the bottom.

More cute than aesthetic, but I always found the Pikachu N64 neat. I liked that Pika's cheeks were the power on light indicator, but I couldn't find very good pictures of this.

>>10778279
>>10778285
>>10778358
Maybe one day we can make let in the original DS and PSP, or make it all system agnostic and just move the cutoff a year further, though I feel that this should be /vr/'s final point.

>>10778453
I can see upsides and downsides for both ideas. I wouldn't mind either as long as things don't stray too much into modern gaming.

>>10778504
I think that 7th gen is one of the most fundamental shifts, because then you start seeing couch co-op disappearing in favor of online play, which did exist on consoles earlier, but only for some titles, now it started becoming standard.
DLC would start becoming codified, some were basically like full fledged PC game expansion packs of old, just distributed digitally, but the vast majority were smaller, often cosmetic or small time bonus stuff of modest substance. It's also where the obsession with open world sandbox games began setting in really hard.

I think these are some very fundamental and important differences which sets that generation apart from 6th gen, which basically just was an evolution of 5th gen.
Overall, 7th gen was the last truly fun console generation to me, there was lots of good stuff there (and lots of cool indie stuff would get wider market spread, meaning it wasn't just big budget corporate stuff).

However, 7th gen went on for a very long time, and console gaming has not actually developed much at all in all that time, rather it has stagnated pretty badly. AAA gaming is very much in the Disney-Marvel style throes of making the games as widely appealing as possible according to calculated formulas as to ensure maximized profit, which means these games are REALLY blurring together because they're all doing the same most profitable formulas.
Also there's lots of gambling and pseudo-gambling cancer now.

It's no wonder that the industry is reaching diminishing returns on some points now and that we're seeing layoffs and writeoffs.

>>10778231
It's really shitty how barely anyone makes different face plates

>>10778574
That true of everty console and handheld with replaceablpe faceplates.

>>10778209
I think a lot of consoles has some innate beauty to them. Normally I'd post those combo systems, or the full briefcase PC-Engine, but today, I'll go with the GameCube. From its size and colors, there's elegance to the whole package. The subtle ridge that keeps it hard pressed to an edge, allowing for cooler air to be pulled in by the fan, to its handle for personality, unique shapes for expansions underneath, down to its petite size which is very appealing. It is special even in its default state.

>>10778593
>That true of everty console and handheld with replaceablpe faceplates.
Is there any other than the GBA Micro?

>>10778632
New 3ds (non xl) is the only one that comes to mind

>>10778553
I agree. Seeing 360 and PS3 games on this board would be weird because to me, those still feel modern. DS and PSP, not so much, but I can see why people would still be iffy about the idea. At the end of the day though, they're both handheld systems that launched before the major 7th gen consoles, so I think they'd be a better fit here. I've even pondered what it'd be like if the Wii was allowed here, but it doesn't have all the same arguments in favor of it that the PSP and DS do.

The Latios and Latias gba has this really cool metallic paint and color scheme. Too bad it’s fucking expensive like every other poke center console

>>10778224
The most beautiful ever made.

>>10778209
Japan always got the good desings.

>>10778701
>Japan always got the good looking console
Shut up weeb

>>10778209
That console looks a little suspicious...

>>10778715
Sus

>>10778706
Left looks good, you really think a big grey block looks better?

>>10779040

>>10779037
Seeing the orange swirl Dreamcast as a Yuro will always weird me out. It just looks better in Blue

>>10779037
ENTER

>>10779043

>>10778209
This exact fami twin but in different color, red plastic from that era looks like shit.

>>10778209
>>10779076
Why do these machines look like they were designed in the 1960s?

>>10778364
i have one but im not going to power up just to photograph it kek
my main workhorse n64 is a clearshell modded one
looks neat
>>10778646
custom shells\lens prob exist
you could "build" one
kinda neat but i always prefered the white gba
>>10778701
in person it looks neat too
its not too fat\thick
>>10778626
i regret passing on that symphonia gamecube so much
i could have got it below msrp from my LGS
in the fuckin box
my teenage self was boring
"i already have a gamecube tho AND i already beat that game..."
>>10779037
sega sports black entered the chat
>>10779042
>>10779040
so ugly it became beautiful
>>10779076
>>10778209
neither of these look good
the original+disc system tower is more appealing to me
but to each their own
i might honestly still grab one just for the novelty
there are some other shapes\colors sharp made as well

>>10778706
The Famicom looks better with the FDS attached to it.

>>10779107
Would totally give you one for console mod/repair work. I did the same thing with Hello Kitty Dreamcasts like >>10779047 the fact that I already had the console, I didn't have enough to go for a nice later release console.

>>10778231
I love mine for the portability but I think the DS Lite is the best way to play GBA games. I paid $45 bucks for mine back in 2009 and thought it was a rip off but I really wanted one.

>>10779076

>>10779435

>>10778701
>>10778216
several pc engine models are up there for sure
that said, the supergrafx is one of the ugliest consoles of all time

EarthBound chads...

>>10778632
not retro, but Sony actually sent a cease and desist to DBrand over their PS5 faceplates, so many companies that make third party accessories have probably been wary of doing it while the consoles were current, and once it isn't anymore then the market for it kind of goes away.

>>10778626
Man, I wish I had one of those Hori Gamecube controllers. I had one of the Pelican ones, but the D-Pad was nowhere near as good and it stopped working after a few years because Pelican was bargain bin trash at best, and it's definitely too late to get one of the Hori ones now because they're about the price that the Hori N64 controllers were at their peak.

I'm mad we didn't get the special edition PS2s in the states. now I gotta import em form nipponland >:-{

>>10778209
Don't introduce normalfags to the fucking TWIN FAMICOM PLEASE PLEASE THERe'S SO LITTLE LEFT AND ALL THE FUCKING COLLECTOR FAGGOTS KEEP FUCKING BUYING THEM ALL IM SO FUCKING PISSED

>>10778209
snes jr is criminally underrated

I love the purple and light purple combination. Come to think of it, it's a lot like Yotsuba B color scheme.
I also like its angular yet soft design, and unlike the NES, this one is actually the same size as the Super Famicom, no extra plastic bulk just because.

>>10780253
RGB modding faggots ruined anyone's chances of getting one.

>>10778231
didn't even know there was an FF micro.

>>10778638
fuck me this thing had some great plates. wasted some real dough over the years but the ones i have now i really like. never saw the point with micro though, you can't beat the famicom design.

>>10778646
that's the rare pokemon design that manages to be really ugly.

>>10779048
very nice though I just prefer normal black

>>10779435
lmao can't unsee

>>10780253
agreed, on the fence about selling my SNES and if i do, I'll probably buy a jr whenever i want back in

>>10780275
what do you mean? I see them on eBay at around 100 bucks, which given what I've seen of the market anymore seems reasonable. Aren't they fading in popularity since the SNES crowd is finally aging out of the "rebuy my childhood" phase anyway? will probably be even cheaper going forward.

>>10780285
Ive literally been in a coma sorry

DSi and DSi XL/LL are two of the most beautiful consoles ever made

I also love the nomad, chunky bastard. Can't believe they are so inflated now though, when I got mine I remember thinking more than 70 USD was a ripoff. I mean it's great, but i wouldn't pay hundreds for it unless it was modded already, and frankly I'm still waiting for bennvenn to replace his screen replacement before I think of that (all for authentic screens but damn the base screen makes games like alien soldier totally unplayable).

>>10780287
it's all good, I was surprised when i learned too. NES seems to be getting cheaper too. not the collector bait like super rare games, but hardware was cheap last i looked and even if games are inflated you can just get a flash cart. Feels like we're coming out of the worst of it for some older stuff, maybe things will get better for 90s systems soon.

>>10780297
This means the 6th and 7th gens are fucked though...

>>10779749
>Man, I wish I had brain damage
Wish granted. Retroactively, obviously.

>>10780343
you are fat

>>10780305
6th, well you got me there. I'm just lucky I got my fill and don't care to go back (plus you can emulate everything except Xbox, which is cheap to buy and mod so whatever). GBA is rough I guess.

7th is not fucking retro, but even if it was it's a cakewalk.
DS is easiest in the world to pirate on and consoles are easily found, PSP you get one cheap from Japan and you can hack it for everything (rip batteries though), 360 are dirt cheap even for an rgh mod slim that won't RRoD and will load everything, Wii are still cheap shit (literally see them at goodwill for 10 dollars) and dead simple to hack and get everything free (including GameCube so you can dodge the retarded prices on that shit). Only thing that sticks out to me is PS3, I don't know a lot about it and maybe some exclusives pull big money. And legit dual shocks are not always easy to find. Overall though? 7th fuckin easy. I'd say buy up DS now because it will be worst off soon, the rest are just too trivial to pirate on to worry about IMO.

>>10780386
People said this about the SNES 20 years ago.

>7th is not fucking retro.
The DS turns 20 this year old man.

>>10780391
Sorry I just realized how bitter I sound in this post, I've been arguing in another thread pls forgive me anon.

But yeah I agree 7th gen is easy...right now...

twin famicom would be better if the disk reader wasn't worthless. really no one should bother with the real reader, fdsstick far superior

>>10780391
the "it's been 200 years already why isn't the industrial revolution part of the Renaissance yet" argument is still worth using, even if mods are tards. If anything the naming is poor (really none of what we call retro is "retro" but god help you if you attempt to use words reasonably in gaming world). Anyway, the notion that "old" be the sole criteria starts to feel worthless. I refuse to accept that there's not differences between previous game systems and the first HDMI consoles. And for arguing they are retro simply for being old? time has stretched. The industry has stagnated too much for too long to claim that 10 years means anything. Assassin's Creed 1 is 17 years old and it doesn't feel at all like a "retro" game. I mean hell, go back 10 years and people are still playing fortnite. go back 7 more and you get orange box. TF2 is still supported despite being nearly 20 years old, do we call it retro too? at some point the collection of everything that happens to be "old" under a "retro" umbrella will render the entire concept worthless. Should be done as eras and recognized as such.

>>10780393
all good mi, don't know what you mean about snes, you figure 7th buying will go to shit soon? I mean timing wise it should, I just don't know what or when. Its so easy to play it for free that it's hard to imagine it being bad besides for collectors, whom personally I don't care about since they aim to throw money in the bin anyway.

>>10780424
I agree with your statements to be honest, I think we need better terms for videogames, there was this really smart romhacker dude who came up with a naming system that wasnt generation based wasnt "bits" and was based on limitations and types of things that were possible. Cant find it but just think about that for a minute, why do we have such stupid and generalized terms for videogames, you cant even call it "evolution" because there's such massive hardware differences in almost every generation.

>>10780457
I also think people are wrong about games trying to capitalize off of nostalgia when it comes to pixel art, why is low resolution digital mosaic artwork not seen as it's own artform.

For me, it will always be the Japanese Mega Drive + Mega CD.

>>10778626
holy shit i wish i had a megaman gba, i fucking love those games

>>10779048
if they made blue see through ps5 or xbox i would still play on console (for a month probably) but i would buy one

>>10780285

>>10778279
Where did the "20 year rule" come from? Some gay porn you loved?

>>10780589
Not a rule anon, wasn't even suggesting it should be on /vr/, just stating a fucking fact that shit is getting old, DS uses GBA hardware as well, no offense but you act like this bothers you.

>>10778209
more like the fannycom, amirite?

>>10780275
RGB modding is good.

>>10779563
it looks pretty good in person
my brother has the system

>>10780515
That cracked jack is an easy fix, just reflow the solder

>>10778935
There's more going on with it than being a grey block. Looks like something developed by NASA, like it fits in with the Saturn V design. The Japanese Famicom looks like a cheap toy.

>>10780236
the white one is slick

>>10780279
I have a pretty much brand new pokemon 20th edition new 3ds… but it’s dual TN. I’m thinking about selling it, but on the other hand it’s in immaculate condition and I don’t think I’ll be able to get something that’s as good.

I wish I had gotten picrel plates. Now they’re retardedly expensive.

I want to paint an n64 in gamecube silver, cause holy FUCK that looks good

>>10780240
Even worse for RGB modded ones.

There was only one on amazon and it was only on ebay for a day before being sold for $500

>>10780275
That makes no sense, how?

>>10780240
I will buy a twin famicom and rgb mod it. There is nothing you can do to stop me.

For the love of god, just buy an RGB blaster if you want to play your fami with fake colors.

>>10780275
>RGB modding faggots ruined anyone's chances of getting one.

Bro what? SNES supports RGB natively.

>>10780240
Nigga they are only like $100 a 32x alone is more than that.

>>10778209
I can't decide if I like the red one or the black/green one more

>>10778935
Yes

>>10780849
It is kino

>>10780859
That salamander cart is more kino

>>10780731

>>10778228
nice action, very nice action

>>10780980
You can be contrarian about it all you want because you're a xenophile for Japanese shit, doesn't make it not true. It undoubtedly has an 80s space age look to it, whereas the Japanese one has an 80s gundam toy look

>>10781072
I would less say that the NES has a "NASA" look, and more that it looks kinda like a VCR, which is actually what they were going for, and is a good look in itself.

>whereas the Japanese one has an 80s gundam toy look
That's soulful though.

>>10779686
You know it brother

95% of this thread is filled with the ugliest shit I’ve ever seen

I liked the aesthetic of the DSi

My favorite console design is the PSOne for sure. It's just so cool IMO.
>>10780275
My best friends wife found one at a thrift store for 13 bucks and gave it to me. It was one of my best finds ever.
>>10780814
The SNES Jr actually doesn't support it. It's a stripped down version of the SNES. I believe the best cable it supports is S-Video.

>>10782509
SNES jr. is composite only. You have to mod it to get S-Video.

GBA micro is neat in concept but it's just too fucking small to use. Maybe if I was a kid I'd feel differently, but a 2" screen is uncomfortable to use as an adult

>>10782463
>4th gen 1988-1993
>5th gen 1994-1999
>6th gen 2000-2004
>7th gen 2005-2013
it was a break in tradition at the time

>>10782728
I was always impressed by how large the cartridge was compared to the console. The build feels very premium as well - I wouldn't feel worried about pocketing it.

But you're totally right that it is simply too small.

>>10782728
I like using it honestly. D-pad feels extra good.
I don't mind the screen, it's small but not Game Gear mini levels of small, you still can see everything clearly, and due to it being basically made to fit the exact resolution of GBA games, it looks very sharp and vivid. Also has more pixel density than the other models.

>>10782647
Thanks for the correction. I knew it was something odd like that

>>10779037
The Dreamcast even has the right weight for a console.

>>10778209
>what are the most aesthetic consoles?

All of them.. kek.

>>10778209
Nes/genesis/dreamcast have the best console designs (not controllers though)

>*ahem*

>>10779043
I agree, Sega's logo is blue so the Dreamcast logo also being blue fits really well.

>>10780528
I emailed you some pictures of boobs

>>10778209
Gamecube was the peak

original Xbox ugliest

>>10782873

>>10778209
40 years old and easily the sexiest console

>>10783041
>original Xbox ugliest

No

>>10783243
Pretty boring clear console.
I don't think the xbox is horrendously ugly or anything, but there is nothing particularly appealing about its appearance either.

>>10780253
You can just say you like it.

>>10779549
I find the supergrafx to be extremely aesthetic.

>>10778626
I kick myself over not getting one of those Hori pads when they were still being produced.

>>10783684
just rig up a snes pad will be as good of an experience.

>>10778209
it looks like a giant minidisc player

>>10779749
>>10783684
I think they make the controllers again under a different brand. They were pretty useful to go with the GameBoy Player.

>>10780483
There's a lot of cool new modern shells available. They are great to replace old shells which may have been worn out. Some glow in the dark, others have cool new modern screens which are very brightly backlit. There are a lot of personalized ones with all sorts of color schemes. These days I think they just have Pi Nanos within for more games.

>>10780528
>>10780741
I'm not even sure my old CRT could even be modded to take RGB. Besides, it'd cost too much to freight ship big ass TVs around.

>>10780793

the mini can be RGB modded easily and gives a much brighter picture than the standard model. not sure why anyone would want one anyway unless to perform the mod.

Making it look more like a VCR than a console was part of soothing skittish retailers and distributors in the US after Atari (who used to dominate the market) completely buttfucked themselves and tried to offload all their excess stock on the market in desperation.

The consumers didn't particularly care, and the design was reused in Europe out of convenience. The US Super Nintendo looks outright ugly and cheap versus the original Super Famicom design (or Sega's various iterations of the Genesis), but it played games so that was all that mattered.

tl;dr blame the middlemen

>>10778231
It's crazy to me that these became so sought after. Nobody was interested in them when they came out. I picked up a bunch off of ebay for dirt cheap, even TWO of the rare famicom ones. I wouldn't use them for everything, but they're great for RPGs. I played a shit-ton of Pokemon, Golden Sun, and FF6 on them.

>>10780343
Well that's just needlessly mean.

>>10780735
yeah they're beautiful, even as scuffed as mine are. I just wish I'd managed to get a white N3DS rather than a Black one, but NoA gonna NoA and not release the coolest model of the 3DS in the US as a regular unit.

>>10785724
I reshelled a silver US cube with a used orange shell I got off ebay years ago, still don't have the orange GB Player but it kinda looks better with the orange/black combo

>>10778209
I love the Neptune even if it never came out.

Huh, the PSX looks really damn good in matte black.

>>10780424
Videogames are clearly divided into two categories. One is pixel art, the other is polygonal graphics. A few games combine the two, but that's to be expected. These two categories overlap almost entirely two other categories: 2D games and 3D games. Again, some games combine the two, but that's not a problem. These hybrid games can be talked about in either category, as well as have their own category so that their commonalities can also be discussed. There are also two other categories that sonewhat overlap the previous two: multiplayer at home VS online multiplayer. All these categories are also divided in time. The shift occurred in the late 90s and early 00s. Everything from the 1st half of each category that was published after the early 00s is a revivalist videogame. Revivalism is its own thing and can't really be discussed like the things it's trying to revive. Revivalist works are often anachronistic and ignore previous technical limitations. This shows that revivalist media is its own category. Pixel art videogames also tend to have more soul than polygonal graphics videogames. This is a consewuence of shifts in marketing and in the public's criteria for commercial appeal. This is due in part to chsnges in technical limitations, but also the area in which politics and social changes have influenced the videogame industry. That is to say that modern bullshit has sucked the soul out of most videogames.

Got a complete Yaroze set, definitely my favorite piece of hardware.

Nah. >>10778358 has the right idea, most of those systems wouldn't fit here, but they're all dying to crawl out of /vg/'s gacha-bloated corpse.

PS one looks goofy and Genesis 3 looks like a bootleg, agree with the rest of the list otherwise.

I can't take the rest of your image seriously. That thing is UGLY, and is basically a contemporary clone console anyway.

>>10780771
I tried it and fucked it up because the chrome paint didn't stick to the primer properly.
gotta strip it and just pick a nice color so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

It was a parking lot find, so I'm not too worried about it

>>10788230
I prefer the AV Famicom over the top loader.

>>10789695
they're the same thing, the only difference is the toploader has a hump to stabilize the larger NES carts

>>10790152
The AV Famicom also has AV out unlike the RF only top loader.

>>10790152
Oh you meant appearance-wise. I forgot which thread I was in.
I'm a retarded faggot bitch. Pardon me.

>>10786354
I'll trade you. I have a white n3DS with the black Splatoon plates.

I love the 2nd Genesis model so much...

>>10790152
I think I like the hump better because it reduces the negative space. I realize the AV Famicom had to account for the FDS but without that attached the base unit looks like cartridge area is bigger than it needs to be. The removal of composite on the NES top loader is unjustifiable though. Penny pinching bastards. Especially since that was an advantage the OG NES had over the OG Famicom.

>>10791570
mister is hooked up to it
calm down

also its been modded\refurbed
i can also play my gen 2 systems in black and white
clarity goes WAY up
kinda neat

>>10789695
Is there a mod to change this from 72 pins to 60? Would be the perfect NES.

>>10792542
>would be perfect for NES
uhhhhhh there is a nes version
converters also exist, both official, and unofficial

>>10792542
You mean 60 pins to 72? Also, yes.

>>10780741
Which Marshall amp of those is best for high gain?

>>10792963
a buddy of mine swears by greenbacks
most people use vintage 30s
i dont play that style of music anymore
im using tube heads with pedalsboards in the effects loop
>yamaha fx500 = actual slowdive studio rack

>>10792963
early metallica/megadeth used jcm900 heads

Nothing will ever top the skeleton Saturn

Had a chance to buy one for £1500 about 12 years ago, they go for about £5k now

Sega wins for design but their controllers still sucked

Ps1 wins with controller design

>>10793679
i would be too scared to actually use something like this

>>10778209

>>10793707
Only the Master System had a shitty controller

>>10793641
i prefer the white one
but i do have a couple blackies as well

ENTER.

>no carts
maybe not

>>10794452
I'd rather get on OG Mark III.

>>10793069
Yeah, and most people seem to hate that amp from what I remember. It's too expensive for me anyway, but thanks for the msg.
I've always wanted the Peavey but there's so many iterations of the same amp I'm getting a bit put off at this point. I will probably get it once my health improves. Just can't play anything when I'm having procedures and surgeries left and right.

>>10778216

>>10795170
I recommend just building a 2x12"
and putting speakers you actually like
You can build build it out over time
the peds and head you choose matter most+pickups anyway
I don't use the full-size cabs for most rehearsals

>>10795170
>jcm / 1960 hateraid
inevitable
when the equipment is on that many successful albums people will try anything to be different kek

>>10778358
There's nothing stopping us from making an entirely new site.

>>10780458
It is called needlepoint.

>>10795304
Yeah, I built a 2x12 a while ago, to the specs of a certain Orange 2x12 cab, using a baby bedroom Blackstar amp - sounded good, especially with the speakers I used, but I'm still after the sound of the full-sized, high gain amp that I'll hopefully feel up to playing again.
>>10795306
Yeah, also people tend to not be good at EQ and can't figure out why their setup doesn't sound exactly like Metallica/Megadeth

>>10793942
mom said no computers
only vidya systems
i do want a 400 tho

>>10796596
i didnt care for blackstar due to it choking reverb on the line in inputs
what speakers did you pick?
ive had vintage 30s, greenbacks & settled on gt75s
(i need clean, dirty, more dirty, and sludge all on a whim)

>>10797139
Blackstar is just an introductory brand for metal, imo.
This small company called Warehouse Guitar Speakers whose selling point was making their version of classic speakers for a fraction of the cost. I got their version of the Vintage 30 called Retro 30 for $70, but now it looks like they don't supply to any retailer anymore, plus they are charging $140, double what it used to be. Anyway, it's more versatile than a Vintage 30, slightly less bright(but still sparkly) and slight more bass(but very tight) and still it's a very transparent speaker - made even the tiny, shrill Blackstar sound very good.

>>10779171
the absolute unit

>>10783243
og xbox is the roidbro of retro consoles and I mean that in a good way

>>10793786
My favorite toilet shaped console

>>10778209
MD model 1 with a Mega CD attached underneath.

>>10797168
This would look 100x better if the disk unit had the same footprint as the Famicom.

>>10798940
it basically does
just slide it forward

>>10779435
Haha benis :DDD

>>10782105
i always feel a little sad because i like it with hindsight, but at the time this was the era i drifted away from modern gaming and the DSi was the first major nintendo handheld i skipped buying.

The dogbone controller looks neat at first glance and it feels nice to hold in your hands, the dpad is a hugr improvement, but tragically they messed up the buttons, not only are they smaller but too fall apart so Mario-like plattformers just dont feel good to play, specially with the upward right position of B & A.

Specially when you already hold on the SNES controller and otherworldly comfortable it felt with Y & B.

An alternate universe where the Sega tower was a 90s hi-fi stereo tower.

>>10780734
what stick is that? I want the exact same setup and graphics

Test

>>10788168
if only it looked like that

>>10778228
Hot damn, it's even better in action
