ITT:
Things in gaming that people just didnt care about and faded into obscurity
I'll start
Oh man was pic related awkward. Pretty sure people didnt even notice when it was removed from the WiiU with an update
Project Spark for the Xbox One
The infamous game where conker told you that if you wanted to see him in another game so bad you should make it yourself
People didnt even know when it came out and just recently it stopped receiving support
RIP
Microsofts Kinect
The E3 they unveiled it at was so awkward.
>>340123127
To this day, I still have no idea how the fuck this was supposed to work.
Still use my Wii U gamepad as a TV remote, though.
>>340124228
that was such a handy feature
probably one of the best features of the WiiU
>>340124228
>>340124352
Or you could just use your smartphone.
The wire that allowed you to connect your GBA to a Gamecube
Great idea, terrible execution. The games that used it FORCED you to use it for mutilplayer. That meant having a wire for each gameboy. Theres alot of great games people would never experience to the fullest
RIP FF Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords for gamecube
>>340124497
But it's always missing, the WIIU gamepad never leaves it's room
>>340124497
My cable doesn't have a thing for using your phone
>>340124112
Kinect sold millions though, casuals ate it up.
>>340123508
This came out?
>>340125131
Not for long
I used the wormlight so much as a kid and recently found my old one and tried it out again
Im just gonna say it now though
How the hell did I use this as a kid? All it does is create a huge glare on my screen
>>340123127
Xbone's TV thing failed too.
Gameboy Printer
Wonderbook
The hololens will most likely fail with the 3000$ pricetag.
THQ's uDraw failed so bad it killed the company

>How the hell did I use this as a kid?
Because nobody knew any better, maybe?
>>340125461
I had one of these too. I have no idea how I didn't go blind from playing my gameboy. I also never owned a GBA with a backlight either.
>>340125461
>>340125614
Anon, we played the cards we were dealt, and we were goddamn happy to have them.
>>340125507
>hololens
Holy shit i just looked and, why the fuck is that so expensive, it doesn't even seem so impressive when you can get a vr headset instead
Steam streaming
Steam music
Have you ever wanted to play all your awesome big motion control games on your wii, BUT IN THE CAR?!
well you could endanger your own and everybody elses lives with the wii car adaptor!
>>340125461
it was before we knew about backlights
BEHOLD
THE MOST NECESSARY CONTROLLER ADD ON YOU WILL EVER NEED
THE VITALITY SENSOR
https://youtu.be/TRwarxMTxZg
Did you know Intel made their own controller for PC games?
did you know the base station that made it work was sold seperately and it looked like a double ended dildo?
>>340123508
PS died because it was overpriced as fuck while being extremely limited and came with very few free features.
Imagine if Super Mario maker only has solid ground, bricks, coins, and koopas free and then every other asset you wanted was $5 and each theme was $10.
And then if you wanted to play anyone elses levels you needed to have purchased everything used in their level.
Now drop the quality of the game by 2/10 points and you have project spark.
>>340126969
>And then if you wanted to play anyone elses levels you needed to have purchased everything used in their level.
Holy fuck, is it loke this in PS? What the fuck.
>>340124671
>four swords adventure will never get a re release on the wii u that utilizes multiple game pads or 3ds's for multiplayer
I DESPISE this fucking mess.
It's not just the stupid Zelda or Mario games, those don't matter. Its everything else about this trainwreck of a console that pisses me off.
This thing had 7 YEARS of development time put into it. The people behind it saw the rise of Nintendo and Sega first hand, and had a clear example to follow on How to make a game console RIGHT.
BUT THEN YOU ADVERTISE IT LIKE THIS
https://youtu.be/9ZIbnZuqUuo
AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU MAKE IT COST 700 DOLLARS
AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU MAKE 20 FUCKING MODELS OF THE CONSOLE, WITH NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY LOOKING LIKE A GAME SYSTEM.
AND YOU MAKE 20 DIFFERENT FUCKING CONTROLLERS WITH ONLY 2 THAT LOOK LIKE ACTUAL CONTROLLERS.
AND YOU MAKE THE "GAMING VERSION" OF THE SYSTEM ONLY HAVE 1 CONTROLLER PORT
AND IT HAS NO GOOD GAMES
FUCK THIS THING
>>340124112
Holy fuck, this. It was such a disaster.

>>340123127
>>340127653
I don't think the WII U is made to be used with multiple game pads
>>340128042
I bought it just for the Animal Crossing cards.
I regret nothing.
>>340124112
The Kinect itself is good for anything outside of its intended purpose
>>340127653
>re-released with online support to find buddies as well
Nintendo will never do this

PlayStation Home
Vita's Near feature
Wii Speak
Phantom Dust remake
>>340128601
>>340124112
>>340128569
Ironically this so much. There are so many uses for the damn thing outside gaming, it's kinda silly to be honest.
>>340126969
Wow I knew it would be bad but that's borderline corporate sabotage
>>340128664
PS Home had over 40 million users tho.

Any good will that game had was killed when Conker showed up. I guess they didn't want it to have a sliver of a chance at redemption.
you want to play all the newest and hottest games like Skyrim and the new CoD but dont want to buy an EXPENSIVE new console?
Ouya can (probably) play all your favorite games from any console!catch usoutsideE3
>>340125614
>Parents suggest to buy one for me cause I played it in the dark and would have to wait to drive by street lights to be able to see

It's a relief that it wasn't good then
>>340129926
I still don't see how it got a big as it did initially. Wonder how backers felt about it
>>340123508
>Fuck you make your own fucking game.
God I remember that e3. Like every company was just in full fuck you mode. Sony was like fuck vib ribbon and fuck you for liking it. Nintendo was just fuck you for wanting good games.
What a fucking shit show.
that thing u plug into the super nintendo to play gameboy games
>>340123508
This came out? I thought it was in development for ages until it was cancelled, and that it was never released.
The problem is that people stopped watching TV. And they already have TV channel management anyway in the decoder. It served no real purpose.
as hilarious as miiverse can be, I dont think it really became the huge social media platform that Nintendo wanted it to be
>>340130784
On top of that, all of the consoles support stuff like Netflix.
>>340130665
Fuck you, I love and still use my Super GameBoy.
>>340128042
I had one of those, but I don't think I ever used it
>>340123127
I surprised no one has mentioned this.
>>340130978
It still sees a lot of use. I think Splatoon helped in that regard.
>>340128385
Remember how when the Wii U was announced, they said that it would support up to two gamepads and you'd be able to buy them separately soon after launch?
I wonder what happened to that
>>340123127
Didn't support my STB.
Bullshit.
>>340131371
Virtual Reality and shit.
>>340123127
The N64DD
I was totally prepared to get it as soon as possible.
It's cancellation meant it would lead me to get a Playstation, and become an idort for the first time.
>>340131428
They dropped all progress on dual gamepad support
probably due to low sales for the WiiU because Shiggy was quoted blaming the rapid popularity of tablets in the marker
Was the Gameboy Micro even successful enough to have Sony follow?
>>340123127
I legitimately really liked the idea behind this service but never used it since I don't have cable.

Animal Crossing cards had a code at the bottom so you didn't need the reader.
>>340125131
As someone who works at a not-gamestop-but-basically-gamestop store, I can tell you casuals dropped this thing as quickly as they bought it. All the casuals sold them and now we're fucking swimming in the things and no one wants them

It's a fantastic microphone, webcam and mocap camera.
>>340126719
So you just bought a paper weight until you found the base? I hope it was at least comfortable, but it doesn't look so.
These were absolutely terrible.
I owned several of them
>>340130784
>>340131036
IIRC, TVii also showed you what was on any streaming service you had on your WiiU. It would probably be handy for someone who was subscribed to a lot of different streaming services. I never used it though because I don't use any of those.

>>340131532
Living in Japan when the DD came out I can safely say outside of the F-Zero X x-pansion kit, and naturally doshin the giant 1 and 2, it was pretty much worthless. mario paint was lame and buggy.
If they'd actually pushed out half the games they had that were like 80% completed at the time (I'm sure someone has the link to that video of the guy with like 800 videos on youtube of a bunch of old beta carts he played on his n64dd dev kit, including paper mario that was well over 75% complete, just missing a few animations and some textural issues), it would have been a much bigger success.
The time was a factor in it's failure but the DD could have still been a useful addition, just like the famicom disk drive. There were tons of things they could have done with the internet capabilities of the n64DD, I mean, doshin the giant 2 was DLC, essentially. It had a disk version but you could download the entire thing if you had the original game.
Fuck so much potential wasted.
>>340131674
the GO was an attempt by sony to test the market for their later phone model the Xperia Play. they're pretty much the same thing, except the analog nub and start/select buttons are replaced by digital trackpads.
>>340132727
in the same vein,
I never understood why you would want to buy UMD movies for your PSP
>>340131428
>>340131613
might also have to do with the fact that the wii u was too underpowered to make them actually run well
>>340131371
I remember when I went to expo in Italy last year there was some kind of futuristic super market where there were Kinects close to every food and if you held your hand near them (or made some kind of gesture, don't remember) they'd give you information about the food.
>>340133028
Movies were fine on PSP. Some companies thought UMD might be a big thing, so they ran with it. GBA shit ran at like 10 FPS and in very muted colors.
I had hackers and advent children on my PSP, I think.
>>340133028
10 for $2 would be a much fairer deal for UMD movies.
>DUDE LET'S RELEASE MOVIES FOR A SYSTEM WITH A 480 x 270 SCREEN LMAO
>>340133321
this was around the same time shitty portable dvd players with built in screens were a thing
>>340133446
Holy shit, I completely forgot about those. I'm pretty sure I still have one sitting in my basement.
>>340133564
I think I have at least two somewhere. I remember if a kid had one on the bus on the way to a field trip they were the hottest shit around
>>340124671
>>340127653
Why didn't we just get a Four Swords Adventures re-release/remake for 3DS instead of the shitfest that was Triforce Heroes?
Who else was tricked into thinking they'd use the Wii Speak with Animal Crossing?
>>340123508
An absolute piece of shit that deserved to fail.
>>340124112
I only bought a used kinect for an achievement in a game, then promptly ditched it.
>>340133674
because nintendo hates money
>>340132198
>make a system variation specifically to combat the rampant piracy on previous models
Was that really what it was for?
>>340132727
I thought it was cool.
Watch a pokemon episode as a break from vidya on a plane or car ride. Bare in mind this was before iPods. So your best bet was a fucking 15 pound portable dvd player otherwise
>>340133028
These i didn't get. I mean the fucking thing supported downloading, expandable memory and supported fucking MP4s.
>>340133753
Did it even work?
I remember debating so hard on whether I wanted the AC game on wii anyway. I hated it on DS, like I hated the shit out of that game but I still played it to death.
After I while I started actively sabotaging other people's worlds and dropping corrupted seeds that had stores in them, and blocking pathways.
I was an asshole.
>>340130665
iunno i thought it was pretty good fampai
>>340133753
i used this shit two times while playing endless ocean blue world
never again
>>340133797
>Achievement whoring
>>340133836
the battery wasn't removable, I think, and at the time having a hacked battery was the most common way of hacking a PSP.
eventually it got hacked proper and now it's the best handheld out
>>340133674
>Why didn't we just get a Four Swords Adventures re-release/remake for 3DS
They did. Four Sowrds Anniversary edition got a 3DS port (and DSiware, but lets ignore that)
>>340133851
Oh my god I forgot there was a time when people would watch videos on fucking ipods. Like not even touch or anything just the tiny fucking ipod screen and people would watch episodes of tv shows on it what the fuuccckkk
>>340133753
Did any Wii game ever actually use this thing? I think The Conduit used it but I don't know since I didn't own this.
>>340133875
>>340133753
It worked and it was pretty good.
Only problem for me is that the game was a total rehash of Wild World and I ended up selling it off
>>340133753
Shoutout to all the abandoned Wii peripherals we all have, collecting dust. Jesus fuck, there's so many.
>>340134038
I did thisi downloaded them from limewire
>>340133564
i remember when my dad got one for our car and it came with one of those bootleg plug n play controllers. Ironically i spent more time playing games than watching videos on it if i didn't get motion sick on the trip.
>>340123127
Wait, when did this shit even finally become available? I never heard anything.
>>340134043
Speaking of things that never catched on, wasn't The Conduit advertised as a Halo/Call of Duty killer? Poor delusional bastards.
>>340134014
FSA is an entirely different game from regular Four Swords. And man, fuck that DSi port.
>let's release a multiplayer-focused game for a limited time only!
At least it added single-player.
>>340134169
>tfw downloading porn from limewire to watch on my iPod
Those were the days I'll tell ya
>>340132727
A cash grab that proved to be unsuccessful
>>340133958
>the battery wasn't removable
I think that was just incidental. Doubt it had much to do with piracy, and more just a design choice considering I never needed a hacked battery to get cfw on my 1000 model though this was before the 2000 model even came out, so maybe I just wasn't keeping up with piracy at the time.
>>340134581
That hurts my skin.
>>340131364
It was the best motion controller device out there but it had like 2 good games. At least they built this shit into the ps4 controller instead of making another dildo controller
>>340132727
>>340134581
>>340123127
I don't think I've even heard of this. Perhaps it was so unused that I had completely forgotten about it.
>>340133851
>and supported fucking MP4s.
For the first few years of it's life the PSP was fucking retarded to get video to play on it. You had to format the video correctly and make sure they were named right and other stupid shit.
>>340134581
Holy shit.
>>340124671
I've wanted Four Swords Adventures and Crystal Chronicles on 3DS for years now. It seems like such an obvious move but oh well.
>>340134332
it was available in America like 3 weeks after the console launched and closed about a year ago
If you lived in Europeyou never got it becayse they never released it
>>340134737
I heard there was a port of VLC or something for CFW now.
>>340131371
excellent bludgeon, easy to clean, and if it's not plugged in, microsoft can't rat you out
Did we ever figure out what the hole on the backside of the Wii U gamepad was for?
>>340132727
Reminded me of this shit. Got this for Christmas one year after I specifically asked for a GBA.
>>340134896Benis
>>340134893
why the fuck am i laughing
>>340134332
Linkin Park has a music video that used Project Spark. I shit you not.
>>340134850
There probably is. CFW made everything easier. Games, music, videos, emulation, and even turn your psp into a universal remote. That homebrew scene was godly.

>>340133321
Nintendo did it first and worse
>>340124671
It was neat to play the Gameboy Player with a proper d-pad.
The original Vita has a custom port on it that was apparently meant to be used as an AV output. Some modders confirmed it's just a modified HDMI port that's been made proprietary, I think they even got it working.
I guess it was dropped after the system was underselling and the Vita TV was announced.
>>340134896
it looks like something screws into it so i honestly wound't be surprised if they had some dumb peripherals planned to gimmick the shit out of this already-gimmick
>>340124352
>>340124228
Never figured out how to make that thing work.
Didn't try for more than 2 minutes, though.
>>340135086
>Vita TV
Holy fuck, thanks for mentioning that. Perfect candidate for the thread. I picked up one of these with a dualshock 3 controller for 20 bucks last year.
>>340134896
They showed a Zapper in the first trailers. That hole there is probably to put a screw in so it won't fall off.
I'm more intrigued by the port in the bottom. What is it even for? Probably some form of video output for the gamepad.
>>340134896
isn't it so floor models can be securely attached to the console and not stolen?
>>340134896
Nintendo have gamepad capture cards that attack in the port at the bottom, it probably screws in the back for stability.
>Kids love mobil phones AND video games - what can go wrong?!
>>340134896
Demo models at stores have the holding thing screw into it.
>>340127856
We're never an E3 this beautifully awful again, are we?
..Maybe the VR stuff this year will come close.
>>340134896
I own a 3rd party battery pack that fits into those holes. Don't know about anything official though.
>>340135280
I saw someone using this to make a phone call in public once. He had to hold it sideways or some shit, otherwise the shitty microphone wouldn't pick up his voice.
>>340135217
Video output for the gamepad seems kinda weird. Maybe an abandoned port for accessories?
>>340135372
It's because the mic and speaker were at the top.
>>340134581
>>340134692
Post more, I'm fucking dying over here.

If this thing didn't fail so horribly I probably never would have gotten one.
>>340134896
I've wondered this.
>>340135729
What am I looking at?
Cool concept, but only for one game. Not sure how many of these things actually sold.
>>340135754
Just capture cards for internal use.
>>340135729
What is that?
>>340135775
>>340135835
Looks like a pen with a recorder
>>340123127
Nintendo pretty much wrote the book on things that didn't catch on.
I own this stupid thing and the only reason I haven't gotten rid of it is because I might want to play Mario Party Super Shuffle again someday.
>>340135775
>>340135835
IIRC it was a leapfrog thing that read words as you tapped the pen to it.
>>340135768
Can you do anything other than PSP and Vita games yet? Curious to see how SNES games play on it.
>>340135826

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_(pentop_computer)
Anybody remember Tiger's Game.com? fucking 8-bit portable with touch screen and some internet capabilities. I remember hearing it had a port of Resident Evil 2 as well, and considering that futuristic as fuckfor the timetouch screen I assumed it's hardware was cutting edge. Tried a demo unit at a Toys R Us and I was laughing all the way home.
>>340135954
They don't sell them to the public.
>>340135803
>only for one game
It's the only game you need. It got a limited run because they knew it would be niche. It sold well enough. The controllers still go for a lot of money on ebay. They're solid as fuck, and you can mod them to work with your PC.
>>340136000
that's gay as shit, I want a capture card so I can make fast racing neo webms but with the twitch streamer/youtuber career fad all capture cards are like 200$+ in my country and I just cannot bring myself to spend that much

Hey guys, remember me?
>>340135941
The PSP emulator on the Vita was hacked. It can do absolutely everything a PSP can do. That's why I mentioned it's a great emulation machine, since it runs all the emulators available for PSP.
>>340135835
The Fly Pentop computer. It would read what you drew using a camera at the tip but had extremely limited use and need specialized paper to work. I remember the commercial mentioned "draw a drum set and actually play it!" And solve math problems because it was meant to be a learning tool. I think it had some sort of drawing games with the little batman cartridge at the opposite end.
>tfw I actually had this piece of shit as a kid
>>340125614
Fuck you Nintendo for not putting backlights in gameboys sooner.
>>340136132
i really dont?

>>340136221
The eye camera for ps3 is a decent camera that I use on my pc for headtracking in flight simulators.
>>340136221
Get FUCKED the EyeToy was the best shit out.
You can even use it on PC's because it's just a shitty USB 1.0 camera.
EyeToy was the shit and I'm salty you didn't like it.
>>340129926
>Things that were never said and yet everyone believed
I still don't understand this. People really expected to play something other than cell phone games on a cell phone operating system on cell phone hardware. Not only this, they expected to play popular AAA titles? Baffling.
People thought this shit would catch on? lmao
>>340136221
Anti-grav was a cool game for it though. Other than that it was trash.
>>340135729
Why would a little boy want a pregnancy test?
>>340132568
I remember playing with it at a store once. It was comfortable enough but the design made it feel like I could break it.
>>340136142
I should have phrased my question better, does it do a better job running games that ran poorly on the PSP, like Astro Boy: Omega Factor on the GBA, or does it play EXACTLY like a PSP?
>>340134896
https://youtu.be/mZvlpA7knsQ?t=2m45s
Whatever "new accessories" the devs at Nintendo had planned got quickly scrapped when they realized the system itself wouldn't even sell.
Remember how they talked about having games ready that used multiple gamepads too?
>>340132982
>(I'm sure someone has the link to that video of the guy with like 800 videos on youtube of a bunch of old beta carts he played on his n64dd dev kit, including paper mario that was well over 75% complete, just missing a few animations and some textural issues), it would have been a much bigger success.

The games were okay. I even remember one of them swearing in an E rated game. Some Chef said "Damn" when I beat his score or something. Also, Antigravity was neat at first but got old pretty fast.
>>340135919
Quite ironic that Amiibo cards are just E-Reader 2.0.
And amiibos too.
>>340136265
It's the OnLive. You bought the console and then paid for a subscription to stream games over the Internet.
Was kinda neat as a concept but it didn't work out because of lag and shitty exposure.
>>340136132
For the longest time I seriously had no idea what the fuck this was. I'm still not 100% sure.
>>340136362
It plays exactly like a PSP. If Vita gets some native hacks though that could change, but who knows how long that will take.
>>340127835
Burn Cycle was pretty cool

It was hype as fuck

I had an SP.
thing was actually pretty based. the sonic game was good too
>>340136471
At least Nintendo doesn't make you buy a separate device for them, though. The E-reader was a massive thing almost as big as the GBA itself, and support for it was quickly abandoned because no-one had one. There were extra levels in Mario 3, pokemon card bonuses and those shitty NES and arcade ports that you had to swipe a dozen cards just to play, but beyond those the only reason that ever made me feel justified in owning one is that the Mario Party card game was kind of fun. It was a neat way to have a group play a game using one gameboy, and back then I was always fascinated with games that mixed traditional gaming with video games and movies.
>>340125614

Literally everyone with a game boy had one of these
>>340124112

Maybe not in the overweight manchild audience here on 4chan but the kinect literally was a huge success for microsoft.
>>340136647

only one that works is either getting a SNES->gamecube converter or that 200 dollar hori controller
>>340126569
Why don't they hire someone that can speak English for their presentations? Its so cringy listening to Jap. people speak English. Who actually cares if the developer himself presents his game?
>>340136786
It's probably an honor thing. You have to present the stuff you're responsible for yourself, or something.
>>340135541
>bought it just to play P4G and some of the PS1 games on my PSN account after my brother broke my PS3
Shit's actually pretty neat
>>340128042
>Super Mario Advance 4
>Requires two gbas just to use the level cards
So glad a romhack lets you play the e-reader levels
http://www.mediafire.com/download/48olwpzok4h20kl/Super_Mario_Advance_4_-_Ereader_Levels.zipAt least Amiibos require one system
>>340136105
It was a great idea but the technology just isn't up to par yet and is widely useless these days because everyone has phones that can do whatever this thing does. I would have killed to have a pen that can automatically translate what you write/calculate math you write down when I was younger
>>340136721
>At least Nintendo doesn't make you buy a separate device for them, though
Old 3DS users have to buy an adapter to use them.
>Mario Party card game
I've always wanted to play that shit. I thought a physical Mario Party game would be amazing. How was it?
>>340136930
It's got a decent amount of PS2 ports as well. Jak, Sly and Ratchet all have HD collections on it.I'm salty over Deadlocked being locked out, though.
>>340136965
The eShop release also has the e-reader levels.
>>340128042
The mom thing hit home for me. I still feel regret, knowing that my mom worked so hard to provide for me and my siblings on minimum wage and all that she got in return was me being a little shit and asking for more vidya junk. I think about stuff like that more than I really should, even though there's no way for me to undo the damage. I try to retain a healthy connection with her, even if it is partially driven by selfish guilt. Am I a bad person for being motivated by regret?
>>340136471
Holy fuck, I never thought about it like that before. This revelation has left me reeling, I'm gonna have to sleep on this.
>>340136482
Yeah was a great idea. Sony made it work correctly with PS now but it still can't stream at full resolution/fps.
>>340137087
You might as well just play the PS3 versions of those though.
>>340137107
Forgot about that
This romhack functions like the VC version
>>340137147
This ain't you blog and it ain't yo hugbox senpai. Go to reddit
>>340137176
it's portable though.
and if you like weeb games the Vita's pretty rad
>>340137032
The card game is fun. It's kind of like a card game / board game hybrid because you play with a big foldout mat. And of course, they spice it up by adding the video game element. Once in a while each player will scan a card hand have to do some little mini game that determines what happens next. It's a real neat way to get a whole room playing a game together using a single gameboy.
These days it's kind of obscure, so if you can find a complete set at a reasonable price definitely pick it up. The E-reader itself only goes for about $7 these days because no-one wants one.
good thread boys
>>340137147
No, just fucked in the head if you're really saying that guilt over bad vidya purchases is a more compelling motivator than love when it comes to maintaining your relationship with your mom.
>>340123127
And the e-reader
And the gba thing that let you watch tv
and the 3DS app that did the same
and the Satellaiview
And the 64DD
And thegba micro
Why won;t they just stop?
>>340137271
Sorry, man. I don't know where else to put my thoughts on that. Thank you for giving me your opinion and honesty, though.
>>340137427

Sorry, should've been more clear. It's little stuff like that adds together and makes me feel guilty.

I still can't believe that happened.
>Vib Ribbon comes up on all screens
>Hey guys we heard you liked PS1 classics, so here's some exclusive MKX footage
It was pretty heartwarming to see everyone ripping into Sony after that. Still no PS4 version though.
>>340137491
kek
>>340137547
Then yeah, that's normal.
Does anyone has the PS4 Camera? How is it? I will have to get one for PSVR, but I want to know if it's nice as an extra accessory.
>>340133028
For the time, the video quality was incredible. After I bought my first three though (Spider-Man, The Matrix and Napoleon Dynamite) I realized what a huge waste of money they were, even before I started ripping my DVDs to watch on the system. It just plain didn't make any kind of money sense to buy a second copy of a movie just to watch it on the PSP, and it wasn't like Blu-Ray where they'd include the DVD and UMD movie in the same package.
Again, the picture quality was incredible at the time, but the tradeoff in picture quality for ripped movies was worth it just to not have to buy the discs or carry them around. It was an expensive novelty that ultimately was nade obsolete by a far more convinient and affordable alternative.
You could watch UMD on your TV if you had one of the later PSP models, but the picture quality wasn't actually as good as DVD so there really wasn't any point.

What happened? I was probably too distracted by all the other shitty stuff happening at that E3.
>>340137423
>GBA micro
A failure of course but definitely not obscure. It's the absolute best way to play GBA games because the screen is superior to even the SP and it's extremely portable. They sell for an obscene amount these days because of how little sold though. It's a real shame

Nigga, there's nothing wrong with having a car adapter for consoles.
I remember driving all the way across the country every summer, as a kid, and having fun playing my console on a small-as-fuck tv.
I have a morbid wanting to buy all these failed gimmick consoles and display them in my home.
As if it was a monument of suck.
The hell is wrong with me?
>>340136482
>You bought the console
You could just use it on your PC too. I remember they had a bunch of timed trials for free, so I used to use it for demos all the time.

Isn't it really tiny though?
>>340138781
Nothing. Failed consoles make a great conversation starter.
>>340139149
It's .9 inches smaller but it has a superior backlight and superior screen clarity.
>>340138749
Speaking of...

How's bluray doing these days? Do people use it or does no one give a shit?
>>340139853
I Still use it. Most people download shitty yiffy transcodes or shit quality itunes crap if they aren't streaming i imagine though. 4k blu ray comes out this year.
>>340124112
Kinect sells in weird niches like interactive educational stuff, and research.
>>340135280
So ahead of its time
>>340138209
>it trended
holy fuck I feel bad for everyone
>>340139853
Most people just do streaming on netflix or hulu and torrents. Only enthusiasts buy physical media these days.
>>340138982
I want one for collectors reason. Same as laserdiscsand betamax

not like there was any option in the days. People are aware tablets are a really recent thing, right?
>>340140204
If I remember correctly, you can use the HD-DVD drive as a regular drive in the event your normal one shits the bed.
>>340136363
I know nobody here would give a shit. But if they ever allowed two gamepads, madden would finally work locally.
>>340139853
I buy movies on blu-ray if I really like them. This is rare though. I imagine once 4k gets more prevalent, blu-ray will be the predominant method of actually watching movies in it.
>>340140241
I doubt it. They were really tight about drives due to flashing them being the main way of piracy.
>>340140239
They were shit quality even for the time.
Sorry this isn't gaming but seriously, does anyone remember iGoogle? I used to have a customized homepage with a space background and embedded news and blog feeds - shit was great. Then they silently removed it - did it just never catch on?
