Throughout the years, there’s been no shortage of incredible gaming consoles for players around the world. While gamers can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:look back fondly on the most successful consoles of past generations, there are plenty of consoles that don’t get the same level of attention.
Plenty of consoles come from various companies that many modern gamers may have never heard of, even the likes of Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation have all had their own consoles that receive little to no recognition outside of game collecting communities. While missed consoles aren’t always of the same quality as fan-favorite consoles, there are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a few gems or special features. Here's what you missed.
10 Colecovision 𒁃
Releasing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:back in 1982, during the second generation of home consoles, it wouldn’t be too big of a surprise to find out that most gamers have never even heard of the console let alone played on one. It was meant to be a more powerful console when compared to its numerous competitors.
The system had one of the earliest home versions of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:arcade classic Donkey Kong, and plenty of other arcade-ported titles. Despite a great line-up of games, the console was discontinued on✨ly a few 🦹years later.
9 Virtual Boy 🅰
The life span of the Virtual Boy was short compared to Nintendo’s longest-living consoles. It was released in 1995 and was discontinued just one year later. With the recent attention the console has been given by internet personalities, it’s possible many have heard of it without ever having played it.
While some of its games were less than stellar, it did have some excellent titles like Mario’s Tennis, 3D Tetris, and Virtual Boy Wario Land. Many gamers feel the console is worth seeking out for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the quality of its Wario Land game alone.
8 🌃 Atari Jaguar ꦓ
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Atari Jaguar was released back in 1993 in order to try to stand against the powerhouses that were Nintendo and Sega. It was meant to be known as the first 64-bit home console, but it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:faded into obscurity, likely thanks to its lack of kid-friendly recognizable titles.
While the first attempt at 64-bits may have come a bit early, the console still had plenty of great games. Alien Vs. Predator, NBA Jam: Tournament Edition, Brutal Sports Football, and Wolfenstein 3D were all excellent games for fans of the console.
7 WonderSwan/WonderSwan Colour 💛 🎐
A handheld home console that was only released in Japan, it’s not much of a surprise that many gamers missed out on the various models of the WonderSwan. While the handheld console wasn’t a failure by any means, it was unable to contend with the powerhouse that was the Gameboy Advance.
The console had a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pretty strong line-up of 109 games for Japanese gamers to choose from. A series of Digimon games, Clock Tower, Tekken Card Challenge, Fire Pro Wrestling, and a bunch of anime-inspired titles were all on offer on the WonderSwan.
6 Ouya
Android has been trying to take a serious step into the console gaming market for longer than many gamers think, and one of their more successful steps was the Ouya. One of the best features of the Ouya was that it offered plenty of other options from the standard game console like emulation, and other media services.
The Ouya had a relatively large line-up of dedicated games for a relatively unknown console. The console featured some surprising titles like Deus Ex Machina, Canabalt HD, Fez, a few Sonic titles, Towerfall: Ascension, and one of its most famous titles, Duck Game.
5 🍎 Ami🐷ga CD32
The Amiga CD32 came out at a time where it was more than possible to be the next name in household game consoles. The unfortunate issue was that they had to deal with the juggernaut success of Nintendo, Sega, and the other developers who had the same idea.
With over 100 different games to choose from, there was no shortage of options for gamers who picked up an Amiga CD32. The console offered titles like Battletoads, Brutal Sports Football, The Lost Vikings, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and plenty more.
4 The 3DO
Yet another console that was released in an attempt to rival the success of the SNES and Sega systems, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console was unique. It’s possible that the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:console’s initial $700 cost is what put a lot of gamers off even considering picking up the console.
That would have been a shame, though. The 3DO had a line-up of surprisingly strong games that included a port of Alone In The Dark, Doom, Gex, the cult-classic Night Trap, Primal Rage, and a whole host of sports games.
3 Neo Geo
With how successful 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:SNK arcade cabinets were, it was only a matter of time before the company took a shot at developing their own home console. The Neo Geo was a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fighting ga꧃me enthusiast’s dream.
With a company that found success in arcades, it’s no surprise that many of their titles were some of the best arcade ports any gamer could find. The Neo Geo had titles like the Metal Slug series, the Fatal Fury series, the King Of Monsters series, the King Of Fighters Series, and the list goes on.
2 PlayStation Vita ꧟
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The PlayStation Vita might be the console on this list that had the most attention put on it by fans, but it quickly fell out of the spotlight and now it’s lucky to even be mentioned in the same conversation as other successful handheld consoles. It’s possible that the similar line-up to the PlayStation consoles is what limited the PS Vita’s success.
It’s surprising how few people talk about the PS Vita 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:considering its library spans over 1000 different titles. Some of its best titles include Persona 4, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Killzone: Mercenary, Borderlands 2, and Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.
1 🐓 Sega Saturn
When 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Sega Saturn hit North American shelves in 1995, there were plenty who were skeptical about whether or not the successor to the Genesis could 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:live up to the hype. While many gamers were likely excited for it around the time of its release, the console has quickly faded into obscurity when compared to other consoles of the era, and even its predecessor.
The console saw plenty of Sonic party games, ports of classics like Resident Evil, and even excellent originals like Nights Into Dreams.
