What is Nintendo's worst console? [Poll]

 

TC

None of thy above. It was the Virtual Boy game console. It literally lasted above 5 months before Nintendo pulled it from that market. Only about 68-10 games were released for it, with about 6-7 more getting ready to be released. The reason what it failed? There were many, many reasons, but here are the key reasons.

1. The red LED images on the screen had an almost 3D effect, which caused eye strain and headache for most people who used it for longer then 30mins. I tried it for about 15 mins and felt disoriented after taking my head out of the View finder.

2. The console sat on a 2 legged tripod and you have put your head up to it to see the images. The side blinder shut of your peripheral vision. It was like looking into the eye machine at the Eye Doctors. After about 30mins or more, youre neck would start to hurt.

3. Even though the controller wasn't that bad, the games were all one color (RED) with different shades. Many of them weren't that fun.

4. The game console cost $180 back in 1995. A lot more then the Gameboy, but cheaper then the PS1, Jaguar, N64, 3DO and Sega Saturn. The other systems were 100x's better however, except maybe the Atari Jaguar, which sucked.

Gamecube. It relied more on 1st party than Wii.  And outside of Melee and Prime the Gamecube is home to the weaker entires in Nintendo's staple series

[QUOTE="blackace"] Yes, it was a console, just like the Vectrex was a console. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex That was just as portable as the Virtual Boy. blackace

It was marketed as a handheld. The vectrex was not.

No, it definitley was marketed more as a handheld. That's what everyone thought of it back in the 90's, I can attest to that.  No one viewed it as a console, even the people at the stores when you asked to try it out. I mean if you want to get technical about it, you can label it as a portable console, but it's not a console in the traditional sense.

This was meant to be a handheld?

Christ almighty what the hell were they smoking?

The Wii. The Wii U already has a better collection of 3rd party games than the Wii did.

I chose the Wii. We don't really know how the Wii U will turn out, but I'm confident that in the end, it'll have a better overall library than the Wii.

Haahahahahahahahaha!!!:twisted: ...*leaves*

i wouldn't say they went downhill after the N64 but if I had to pick the console which I liked the least out of those 4, it would probably go to GC

The Wii probably.

Virtual Boy is a handheld.

The answer is Wii U right now.

[QUOTE="ShadowriverUB"][QUOTE="Kaszilla"] Because it was disappointing the day it was launched and has been since.Kaszilla

Sold about 100 million due to consumer curiosity.Kaszilla

That''s not how the real world works.

Wii hands down.  Anything besides Wii or WiiU is a stupid answer.

Saying the Wii U at this point is stupid, it's brand new. Remember how the 3DS had no games at launch?

Also, Virtual Boy is the worst.

Wii

Outside of 4 games, that was a poc system.

[QUOTE="blackace"][QUOTE="zenogandia"]VB wasn't a console.

DS had Advance Wars Dual Strike and Advance Wars "Godly" Days of Ruin.......GD I loved Days of Ruin!!!!

Wii U. At least the Wii was innovative at its time. The other consoles were solid.

Yep, I can attest to that as well. It was sold as a handheld. I remember I was at a Toys R Us, and there was a kiosk for it. It felt horridly awkward and uncomfortable......you literally needed a table to hold the damn "binocular" portion and then lean forward into it.

It was held by a tripod for that portability use.
