ITT: Failed systems with games worth playing

Doesn't just about every /vr/ system except some of the really really obscure gen 2 ones have some games worth playing? Even shit like the N-Gage had at least one good game.

>>11913009
You can talk about those games in the thread

Were there any good ones on CDI?

>>11913009
I don’t think the game.com or R Zone have any games worth playing. Apart from that you’re probably right.

>>11913021
CD-I has the superior versions of many games like 7th Guest, Lost Eden, and Burn:Cycle (which is really good despite what nigger-brained vinesauce zoomers would have you believe.)

>>11913021
t e t r i s

>>11913006 (OP)
This piece of shit

>>11913021
>Were there any good ones on CDI?
Mutant Rampage

>>11913024
>game.com
Uhhh, Lights Out?

>R Zone
Honestly, I would argue that doesn't even count as a system. It was basically just those Tiger LCD games but with a base unit you had to plug them into. Did that thing even have a CPU in it or was all the logic happening on the LCD carts and the base unit was just used for power and inputs?

>>11913031
>>Burn:Cycle (which is really good despite what nigger-brained vinesauce zoomers would have you believe.)

>Look it up
>Got mediocre reviews at best
>Mostly was praised for being a CD-I game that wasn't absolute shit
>Reviews for the PC version are even worse

Yeah, I doubt it.

>>11913053
>was all the logic happening on the LCD carts and the base unit was just used for power and inputs?
Bingo

>>11913045
Neither the PC Engine nor the CD were failures.

>>11913067
in the west my dude

>>11913053
>the unique game tailored for the system isn’t good but the derivative game completely unsuitable for the system is good

>>11913079
I should post a picture of the Mega Drive or the Nintendo 64 then

>>11913090
You got that backwards. Mutant Rampage is CD-I exclusive, Burn Cycle is not.

>>11913115
That’s not what tailored means. Acquire basic literacy skills.

>>11913127
You think an exclusive game was not also tailored for that hardware?

>>11913139
Yes. The CD-i was never meant to be a games console but devs were constantly pushed into shoehorning barely functional slop into hardware that had no business running it. Burn:Cycle was exclusive for a while too but made by people who actually knew what they were doing. That’s why it became the pack-in and the other game didn’t.

>>11913067
OP never really defined what a failed console is supposed to be in the context of this thread.

>>11913202
jinx
>>11913069

OK I release you.

>>11913024
Game.com has a version of resident evil 2 that's worth checking out just as a novelty. Not the worst thing I've played desu senpai. Also the n-gage has quite a few games that are good. Elder scrolls shadowkey and pathway to glory are legit good games worth playing.

>>11913157
>That’s why it became the pack-in and the other game didn’t.
You seriously think that's what makes a game become a pack-in game?

>>11913021
I like playing Hotel Mario, Dimo's Quest, The Apprentice and the Zelda games. Also has Lost Eden, which I love on any platform.

>>11913250
A girl in my auto shop class in high school had an N-Gage QD. Only one I've ever seen in the wild. I could've have a shot at getting with her, but she was kind of a butterface. Very hot body, brightest red hair I've ever seen. We used to smoke weed together in between working on the cars.

We used to take turns playing Tob Raider. Impressive port.

>>11913091
Genesis sold very well in the US, N64 was only a failure because it was by nintendo and major publisher standards

>>11913312
Genesis was very common. N64 was too actually. For a while you could get 'em for $20.

>>11913284
CDi Lost Eden is the best version thanks to the DVC.
>>11913252
You should try formulating an argument before you respond.

>>11913349
You should try having a brain before getting butthurt that your shitty game was called a shitty game.

>>11913357
I accept your concession and admission of retardation. Enjoy your streamer cancer as I take solace in the fact that you will never reproduce

>>11913069

>with games worth playing

>>11913361
Imagine being this butthurt over a shitty FMV game on an even shittier console that is only remembered for Zelda memes. Probably got his ass kicked in Mutant Rampage.

>>11913031
its only the low iq cuck streamers and their parrots who hate that game, macaw loved it and called it one of the best fmv games

>>11913474
real recognize real

>>11913310
anon I have bad news for you about the sexuality of the girl who fixed cars and played vidya.

>>11913312
My point was that there were failures in Japan

>>11913006 (OP)
Depends what you mean by failed
Astrocade has a pretty good number of above average games, it sold well but only for 2 years or so
MegaDuck no but it was probably capable of it
Pokemon mini, I assume no but capable of it
GX4000 not included because its a computer in a different case so it had many good games
Hanimex Soundic, just typical pong games but probably sold a lot for the time

>>11913069
it has hundreds of games, I consider a failed system something that lasts a couple of months and then they send back the unsold stock

>>11913310
>>11913550

did she also have an inseparable best friend she would always hang out, did they become roommates after high school?

>>11913069
yeah saturn was very successful

>>11913324
I've lived in Canada all my life, and the N64 was massively popular here. It might've been a failure in Japan and Europe but it wasn't a failure here at all.

>>11916371
The N64 was released in march 1997 in Europe. Everyone already had a PSX or a Saturn. It was over before it started.

>>11916385
Christ. Nintendo really dropped the ball there.

>>11913772
saturn was a huge failure in the west sadly since it barely moved stock and the fact that Tom Kalisnke was being an entitled dickwad for not having shit his way while SoJ kept messing up good plans and fucked up even having sony to work with them to fuck nintendo up internationally with their incessant infighting with Tom and SoA. Bernie coming in to sabotage any chance for a late revival for the console and his huge mistake at divesting from jrpgs BEFORE FFVII proved to be a massive success does not help matters at all either. the us/eu version also had like 1/3 of the entire japanese library with barely any games made by western third parties so they had to rely on localizing japanese games instead, which bernie also fucked that up. but hey, it at least the n64 in japan which is still big with 700+ games in its library but that's it

>>11913021
The cd-i Tetris was really beautiful for the time... And there's worst stuff than Hotel Mario around. Also one of the Zelda games was kind of decent if you do not think of it like a Zelda game

>>11916428
I thought the N64 had like 350 total games in its library.

turbografx/pc engine is the top answer

>>11913006 (OP)
SuperGrafx and PC-FX.

>>11913371
The OP has a 3DO my guy.

Sega dreamcast and saturn are the kings of failed consoles. Everything else is barely worth mentioning.

>>11914349
>yeah saturn was very successful

yeah it outsold N64 in 1 region for a total of 1 months.

>>11916841
And even that is just a mistranslation. The saturn failed horribly.

>>11916439
i guess i fumbled the wording, there. i meant that the saturn had beaten the n64 in japan and had like 700-1000+ games in its library in total. but that's the only success it had, in japan. the saturn was a horrible failure anywhere else though, sincr sony was raping sega sideways with a cheaper, arguably better console

>>11913006 (OP)
Is there a single console that has literally nothing worth playing on it though?

>>11913006 (OP)
What's worth playing from that console?

>>11917142
Need for speed, guardian legends, slayer,killing time, space hulk, star control 2 and some other games.
The 3do library was decent.

>>11917116
HyperScan?

>>11913009
AFAIK there really isn't anything above a 7/10 on the CD-I.

>>11917142
Shock Wave

>>11916681
3DO has Alone in The Dark, D, and original Need for Speed

>>11917564
>>11917142

>>11916415
*drops my balls across your face*

>>11913006 (OP)
Do the math, dumbass.

>>11920021
what good games are on jaguar cd

>>11917142
For a long time, it had the best home versions of Dragon Slair and Spacea CE

>>11917142
it's worthwhile just for Wand of Gamelon

>>11913009
>N-gage
Rifts and Ashen were kino. Splinter cell wasn't bad for what it was.

>>11913474
>Look up the game
>Fmv storyfag shit that would even make a jarpig player wince
This is the best cdifags can cone up with?

>>11921671
Not much. Battlemorph and a good port of primal rage.

>>11921671
That’s from the retail library. Then you got Iron Soldier 2 which is actually damn good, an expansion pack for a game Protector, and World Tour Racing which needs the emulator to give it a proper FPS. Turn off the gravel texture to make it better, if you get that far. There’s other stuff but that’s its key worth.

>>11921710
It’s kafkaesque sci-fi digital kinography for literate first worlders who have inner monologues. NPC zoomers need not apply

The cd-i has at last one good game
The jaguar same
The wonderswan same
The 3do same
The 32x same
Even the nuon
Even the gx4000

So i don't think there is any system with absolutely shitty games.

>>11921817
>It’s [Gay clownworld shit for retarded storyfags who hate acutal gameplay. Perfect for modern gaymers]
Fmv storyfags are not sending their best. Bet the game was made in some shithole too.

>>11921850
Not retro, but the secons leapster. Not the first one, that one was retro and had decent games

>>11913006 (OP)
>games worth playing
So not the shitturn

>>11921850
The Tiger systems don't have good games. "Technically playable" isn't "good".

>>11921850
>in total, all variations of the WonderSwan combined to sell an estimated 3.5 million units, capturing up to 8% of the Japanese handheld gaming market at its peak before being overshadowed by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.
That sounds pretty good all things considered
