Haha, I feel ya, RD! So many damned plugs!
 
Also, surprised AJ has the Japanese model PCE.

@Spiritus Arcane  
Seeing as it’s a huge hit, that “portable console” gimmick might be paying off.
 
Also, every game company does gimmick accessories, heck Playstation has VR now, and such.

@AaronMk  
And then along came the Switch…

@Patometro06  
Really? I don’t care if it didn’t have color, blurring, and such. The original Gameboy actually had alot of cool games, some of which I have on my 3DS. (Via Eshop.) Frankly, some feel more like full games then most modern cellphone games.
 
@Spiritus Arcane  
@AaronMk  
Those are more like accessories, or controllers, rather then “add-ons.” (And I don’t see what’s so bad about that stuff.)
 
Also, to be fair, Nintendo didn’t make the notoriously “it’s so bad!” Power Glove.  
The ones they did make were actually pretty cool. Even ROB was kinda cool for it’s time.

@Patometro06  
Welcome.
 
“I want to be sedated with the Gameboy!”

@Depressed Knoll  
I hatethe old game boy now [.-.](‘\
 
But it’s a good info vid, thanks!

@Patometro06  
@AaronMk  
The Gameboy laughs at those.

@Spiritus Arcane
 
The thing is, Nintendo stopped. Sega didn’t.
 
So I return back to Captain Ironicus’s jokes.

a lot of unnecesary accessories!

@AaronMk  
To be fair, Nintendo was like that with the NES. It had all sorts of accessories. Several types of controllers, the zapper, the power glove, power pad, ROB, etc.

As far as I can tell, no. You might be thinking of the Atari Jaguar, which was ridiculed for calling itself 64-bit on the logic that it had two 32-bit processors working in tandem. This despite the fact that its GPU really did have some native 64-bit capabilities (just as the TG-16 was partly 16-bit), making that bit of marketing totally unnecessary.
 
Not that it mattered either way. What we veterans of the console wars didn’t know at the time was that all those extra bits had diminishing returns. The only reason we have 64-bit processors today is for the 64-bit address space, to hit up more than 4 GiBs of memory without bank switching, and no one was rocking more than 4 GiBs of anything back then unless they were with the friggin’ NSA.

THE GREATEST MASCOT OF ALL TIME (retch)

@Background Human  
I throught it ran on two simultaneously running 8-bit CPUs in order to get it’s quasi-16-bit style running?

@Background Human  
 
THAT’S ENOUGH MISINFORMATION OUT OF YOU, FEKA STOOGE!!

Also, The Ninjawarriors isn’t particularly a great game, but it had an amazing soundtrack.

Lord knows the amounts of power I sapped just to get a game of The Ninjawarriors going for the Sega CD.

RETRO GAMING FACT OF THE DAY: While the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine is remembered as an early 16-bit system, it only had an 8-bit CPU. (Paired with a 16-bit video chip.) The Hudson Soft HuC6280 was one of many variants on MOS Technology’s 6502 processor; similar hardware powered the Apple II, Commodore 64, Nintendo NES/Famicom, and Atari systems from the 2600 to the Lynx.

Sega didn’t make power adapters in those days, they made miniature power plants.

Both are great consoles.
 
Wish they’d release more Turbo GrafX/PC Engine games on the Nintendo Eshop… They only released 3 on the WiiU. (Japan has more, including a few for old 3DS!)

That is why in “Europe”, the sockets are rotated 45° or 90°, so you can connect several of those bigger ones.
