The games had interesting aesthetics
Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, Rez, Ikaruga, all had very interesting looks, and I'm sure I'm forgeting a lot

Yeah if you excluede the controller. Can you believe some Japanese executive actually was like "what consumer really want is controller size of console that completely square and memory card go inside controller because when controller come out while saving good to lose all data" he's talking that way not because he's Japanese, but because he's retarded.

The VMU was a neat idea, but they really fucked up the controller design. Even some third party managed to make something better recently.

Playing with the controller sucks, but that's true for any FPS on any console. Those games definetly need the keyboard and mouse addons.

PC-FX evolution but more work. NEC could have done PS1 style route.

>> No.6927218

Unironically the ugliest console that gen. Can't decide whether it wants to be a Chinese knockoff PS1 or an ugly late 90s PC in a box with that nauseating white plastic. The stupid "powered by Windows CE" logo hammers that last point home even further. Plus everything else about the design and console looks and feels incredibly cheap.

They tried too hard like Sega did.

The ones with the best hardware back in actual retro times never did as good as the ones that made the most art with lesser hardware.

Or maybe it was bad management...

twins are sweet! I have both a red and a black one. Cleaned and replaced the drive belts in both. Both ran like a charm fro 6 months. Stored them for a year. Took em back out to check some disk games. None of them work anymore. Both have a "power error" warning. Carts work fine. fucking annoying. I repaired and sold a lot of these back when they were $35-40 on ebay. Never had the "power error" before now.
