Worst console/franchise

[Cyclomega]

I heard there is a N-Gage 2 indeed, they are already 2 models for the first one (very first model having awkward mouth- and earpiece positioning).

Dommyboy> probation ? but why ? I don't see what caused it.

The Apple Game system.

Spoiler: Probation Ramble

I began rambling on about Encyclopedia Dramatica when the franchise of Caps Lock was brought up. Well I think that was it. Anyway, away from that, this is hardly the place to talk about it.

Here are some prototype pictures of the new N-Gage: http://www.slashphone.com/media/data/766/n-gage-2.jpg

It looks a lot more practical than the first and may have better emulations on it. They are trying to move it into being a smart phone, rather than a large object to haul around and look like a freak. I don't really see why a phone company would attempt at a gaming mechanism though, especially one that was as far fetched as the last.

I dislike DDR, or are we just talking about consoles?

No anything with gaming. Even the faintest relation to gaming if you want. I also dislike DDR, it is too fast paced and I get confused if people are either talking about a dancing video game or a type of computer RAM.

removing the obvious and most mentioned Virtual Boy and NGage, I would have to throw in...
Magnavox Odyssey
Atari 5200
Philips CD-i
Neo Geo (mainly cuz of the price back then)
Atari Jaguar

I am actually a big DDR fan and it's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

Anyway, I'd probably say the PS3. Sorry to say but any console that could spontaneously combust and has like no decent games for it isn't really worth anyone's time or money.

I know no Next Gen consoles. But, I have to give my award to the 360. I had 9, yes 9, of them in 4 months. So I got out my sledge hammer and that was the end of it.

That is a great use for the system, its always fun to just take something that sucks and smash it.

xbox 360 and the wii

Dreamcast was horrible to me no matter what I did to it, online didn't worked (mind you it was dial-up back then) games chipped easily and was a pain to repair.

Hey, I own the first two and not the third. (and interestingly the first two cost the same as the third even after you factor in a years subscription to the first one's online service)

Maybe you're looking for the generic console that EA and Denis Dyack so hopefully and futilely await.

Oh no I just wish to put my crusade amour away and scream "YEA WERE NUMBER ONE" to a few people, but a serious post for me would be the game boy micro its smaller with less features than the gba and sp but cost more

Dreamcast:
was never advertised, and most people i ask bout ot give me a blank stare for
the lack of knowlage, was an alright system to play though, had sum fun in Madden 2k1 lol

 

[blunted]

definitely virtual boy. I'm not just going with popular opinion here, I actually bought one when it first came out.

I never got headaches, and Wario Land and TeleroBoxer were pretty cool. It wasn't so bad, but there wasn't anything there that couldn't be done on a gameboy (besides the fake 3d).

But it is one of the most ridiculous moves on Nintendo's part for releasing such a pointless system and charging $200 at it's release. Within like 6 months, they were selling the same thing in stores for 35 bucks. I remember feeling totally screwed and vowed never to buy another console at it's release again.

On a happier note, I recently bought a Gamecube for 35 bucks and have been having a blast.

I can't stand the Wii's controllers and graphics.

 

[darrinwright]

Virtual Boy, without a doubt. Horrendous.

I loved my dreamcast, powerstone 1 and 2 were awesome!

To be honest, I'd have to say it's like that Gizmondo or whatever the heck that handheld that made you watch commercials was. Seriously, no one likes Commercials, we buy stuff like TiVo and DirectTV just so we don't HAVE to watch commercials and surveys done by a few local papers and websites of TV Turn-offs had over 50% of them being commercials.


The N-Gage I'll give some credit to, as crappy as it was. There were some game developers that were at least trying, like say Pocket Kingdom. Whereas on the virtual boy as been mentioned enough times to destroy Vegeta's Scouter, they weren't really trying. The AVGN probably said it best:

"They didn't even ATTEMPT to make it virtual reality!"

(probably off since I haven't seen that video for awhile nor do I wanna slog through blinding red graphics or wait for it to load since I'm on Dial-Up)

I'd have to go with the N-Gage or the Virtual Boy. I got beaten to the AVGN quote for the Virtual Boy, so here is an N-Gage quote from "Decline of Video Gaming 2" by "Super Flash Bros.":

"Dude, you bought an N-Gage? Hey, Dave, this guy actually bought an N-Gage!" "No way!" "What a loser!" "Fag."
