I had one of those. It wasn't bad, it played every game I ever owned/borrowed/rented perfectly fine.
It just lacked features. The big one being no stereo sound, which is kind of a deal breaker today.

Most boring and generic you mean. OG had 1980s SOUL.

I’m voting for the SNES mini. It’s just retarded to remove the led for it turning on. Like saving a nickel is worth it you cheapskate. The console is ugly and blobby and removes the square soul of the SNES. What really seals the deal as being an inferior version is the multi tap not working with it.

The SNES was an absolute abomination, the Junior was clearly designed to follow the SFC.

No. It’s iconic and has a theme and instantly recognizable by its overal shape, the buttons and controller lines and the color scheme. You see that and it’s instant SNES in your mind. That makes it great and unique. Calling it blocky therefore ugly is disingenuous. Grow up.

Nah, it’s ugly.

I had the Genesis/Mega Drive Model 2 growing up and I only learned when the Mini console came out that it wasn't the original design for the system.

Ugly doesn't mean it wasn't iconic.

>The Master System II, released in 1990, removed a number of components to reduce cost: the Sega Card slot, reset button, power light, expansion port, and startup music and logo. In most regions, the Master System II's A/V port was omitted, leaving only RF output available.

>A pair of 3D glasses, the SegaScope 3-D, were created for games such as Space Harrier 3D. The glasses need to be connected to the Sega Card slot, and thus do not function with the Master System II due to lack of the card slot.

pc engine had a fuckload of variations but this one takes the cake. it's a very strange design and doesnt have an expansion port, so there is no way to play CD games on it.

supergrafx is technically the ugliest pce but it's also the only way to play 1941, aldynes and ghouls n ghosts unless you have that terraonion product

Genesis 3 is great. Out of all three models this one has the best RGB out image quality. And if your TV has dual mono this little thing rocks. Plus genny 3 takes jap carts with no modification.

Only if you don't count the galaxy of horrible knock offs. Firecore based MD clones came in swarms in every form, with their sickness inducing audio and they weren't even the worst kind of bootleg systems out there.
