whoever wrote this article has very poor gaming taste !

Don't take this piece of journalistic turdness so seriously. It's certainly nowhere near that stuff that we call 'articles', this is an opinionated little piece of mindfuck which the author can take and shove up his butt.

Nuff said. Who wrote this, a 15yr old idiot who wants to feel like an adult? No research, no information, no objectivity, this piece of text doesn't have no nothing. What a pile of shit, seriously!

I can't stand shit like that. It's a common mindset, and it's aggravating as hell. People think that, because something is obscure or didn't sell well, that it's crap. That always isn't the case.

It's even more annoying when people can't divorce a console from its library. A great example of this is the Atari Jaguar... try to talk about it on most forums, and you get the same canned comments from someone who has never even been in the same room as a Jaguar - that it's a shitty system with shitty games and blah blah blah. I don't want to have the same discussion I've seen from people who don't know a damn thing about the console - I don't care that it failed, or that the vast majority of its library is trash, or that good games are hard to come by and overpriced, or any of that. That's not a conversation, that's enforcing the status quo. It's more more rewarding to talk to someone who understands what the system is, where it was at the time of release, and who can talk about both the faults, and why it failed, along with the positives associated with the console. No system is completely devoid of games worth talking about. I'd much rather someone tell me about the differences between the PSX and Jaguar versions of Doom and Rayman - what each console did better than the other - than have a conversation about how laughable the jaguar was because of Trevor McFur and Kitsume Ninja. Who likes talking about shitty games? Especially when the people talking about them are only doing so because they're super common, very cheap games and they're not willing to shell out $100+ for a game.

That wonderswan comment sounds exactly like what I'm describing. I've played plenty of worthy wonderswan games - Dai Makaimura Wonderswan, for example, is worth picking the system up for. I don't value the opinions of someone who is uninformed - the typical 17 year old geek who wasn't even born when these systems launched, who downloads a rompack and an emulator, goes through the entire library in 15 minutes, and feels entitled to talk at length about this stuff. And you can usually tell what type of person someone is very quickly, thanks to comments like the above on the wonderswan.

 

Dude not only is this old as fuck, its techcrunch: these assholes only live to give blowjobs to apple, just like bgr

If apple says the ipad is an SUV these retards are going to literally try to drive one

They already said the ipod was a console...

 

XD

 

Although this article is horrible, I think the point they were trying to make is similar to how I feel about the Micro: Redundant. The SP launched solving every issue the GBA had, namely the lack of backlight or rechargable battery, and even did so with a clamshell design which protected the screens to boot! As far as I'm aware the only thing the Micro brought to the table was a return to the GBA's formfactor, a smaller screen and faceplates..at a higher price. Even if the unit itself is a great piece of hardware, it's that generation's PSP Go: overpriced and needless.

Unless I'm wrong.

 

Well, I agree that probably no one would have missed a small reincarnation of the GBA if there hadn't been one after the SP. However, it's a great handheld to play on - I find the screen better than the SP's and except if you have crazy large hands, it has the perfect size. The GBA SP is very good, too, but personally I don't find it as ergonomically optimal as the Micro.

I think it's stupid to include it in the list anyway because it is just a hardware update and not an entirely new handheld. If we were comparatively irrelevant updates, why not bash the GameBoy Light or Wonderswan Crystal?
If I was about to compare handhelds in terms of game libraries, success and innovation, I'd compare them by game library and available systems that support it. Like NGP/NGPC = 1 system, WS, WSC, WSCr = 1 system. GB, GBA = 2 systems

 

you gotta check the date when you're looking at lists. out of curiosity i was searching "top N64 games" lists. i came across one on IGN that had very questionable games on it. And games I've never even heard of. And then i looked at the published date, and it was posted in 2000!!

But I still find lists entertaining but in the end, they are just silly. Making lists-and arguing over them-is some kind of fundamental, genetically encoded human itch. lolz...

 

lol ! =P i hate people dissing consoles some of the ones on there arent even bad i actually like the n-gage it tries to be something different instead of same old and some of the games are very good if you can handle the strange controls =P
