Some of those 360 ones were shipped with 'arcade' console bundles that lacked physical storage to cheapen down the price tag. In general the cards did turn out to be largely redundant though.

>N64

Developers were challenged by cartridges whose data sizes were only in 4 MB increments, and it's more expensive to go up a size. If space is really tight and data can't be saved, the memory cards came into use.

>>384878727
This would be fucking awesome to have if it worked.

If your making a game, you have to pay for what goes onto the cartridge, including rewritable memory chips. Instead of eating into your profits, just tell users to use the controller memory packs instead. This also made sense for multi-platform games, as PS and DC also used memory cards, so it's easier to do this than to bother drastically changing how the save system works.

There was so much to tip them off. The small size, the lack of any real gaemplay footage beyond low tier mobile games, the $99 price tag, zero real info if AAA games would ever come, etc. that told them that they were being scammed.

>>384882802
It's a game with a multitap in the cartridge itself

>>384882814
It was the first one we didn't get, the first one was japanese only and only had something like 40 Pokemon

> Move away Nintendo and Playstation

It is literally supported by SONY with its own product, and while SONY from the get go planned it as a throwaway product like PSMove, the reception was so good even they didnt expect it.

Moreover PSVR supported games are constantly being made, a quick look at the PSN Store shows this. Unfortunately most of it is garbo but there are some gems.

Vive and Oculus have superior tech but PSVR has the accessibility and price point. If any VR Product has the chance to stay, its PSVR. Not to mention Sony are utilizing PSVR in the way gamers and nerds want, which is why Summer Lesson is being pushed westside.

If I will get VR thou, ill probsbly prefer the Vive or Oculus. Because Muh Porn.

>>384874636
>>384874514
It was only partially to avoid privacy. It was mostly to avoid paying DVD licensing fees to the DVD Consortium. They instead used a proprietary disc to try to fuck publishers; exactly like they did with carts on the N64.

And people wonder why Nintendo will never get 3rd party support back.

The e-reader cards - though lame - had actual data on them. If it was popular they could keep making new content for it. Amiibos are just rfid chips. They amount to a number and that's it.

>>384883603
Yeah, Switch is already crashing and burning with no survivors, third parties that didn't already have games in the works before they realized they got WiiU'd again are avoiding it like the plague

I went to E3 and there was basically nothing third party for Switch shown that we didn't already know about months before, I went and looked for Switch shit and none could be found

Literally WiiU2, feel sorry for people who fell for it again

Sure they're overpriced pieces ol shit but it's false to say they do nothing. At least you don't need to hunt for the attachment and cards. Whatever.

>>384883623
More or less, there were pros and cons to the e-reader system comparatively.

I'd say there were three main downsides.

>The physical cart
It was this big fucking unwieldy thing. Most of the time you were either playing some tiny bonus game that your 5 pokemon cards scanned to or whatever, because Nintendo knew that swapping an e-reader in and out to another game was a huge pain in the ass. They made certain exceptions, though. Ever scanned an Eon ticket in legitimately? I have, and it fucking sucks.

>Scanner itself
The thing was finicky as fuck if the cards were in perfect shape. If you were trying to pass off a high quality image because you didn't have the actual card then it was even worse (though you could argue you deserved it)

>Card availability

There was no centralized way to get the cards you wanted. You just had to be on top of Nintendo's shit all the fucking time.

What benefits did it have? Well, like AR cards, like I mentioned earlier you had content you could hope to replicate if you printed a good image of the card, because it was all on the card. It also allowed Nintendo to make new content on the fly.

>Amiibos
Amiibos are basically a key system to unlocking content. The only real value of the NFC card compared to a redemption code is that the RFID can have limited amounts of data written to it, allowing it to function as a memory card in a very limited fashion (which could be dealt with better in other ways).

If you don't care about the toy aspect of it, then an amiibo is basically a thirteen dollar paywall for content. Of course, if you give that much of a shit about them, but a cheap android device with NFC for under 50 bucks and a bunch of NFC tags and 10 written "amiibos" in you'll be ahead of the game.

>UK ad filename
Channel 10 is an Australian network.

I used to have a really weird controller for the PS2. It was like a dance mat, but it had four pillars, one on each corner that rose about 3-4 feet high. The mat you stood on had a large dpad similar to a dance mat (and made of the same loud crackly plastic), but the face buttons were activated by motion sensors between the pillars. You punched or kicked in different directions to play your games. It was trash obviously, but an interesting idea. I've tried to look it up since but can't find it anywhere.

This was the dumbest shit to a problem no one had.

It was a Playstation 3D monitor that allow 2 fullscreen views on a splitscreen game.
But it was released in 2012 when splitscreen was basically dead, and no one really cared about having half the screen because large TVs were affordable.

Also since it was a monitor, not a TV, it had so much less functionality than just a regular 3DTV while costing quite a bit more.

He only held the any% record at 18:10, and that required legitimately insane skill. Joden also got a Chinese Cheat Box, yet it took him months to get 18:07.

Then they found the Get Item Manipulation glitch, which would crash the CCB, so it was abandoned in favor of the Wii virtual console.

Actually the knitting thing was real, dunno if the add is, since i think only Japan had carts that actually used it, i think there was some "MAKE YOUR OWN MARIO SHIRT" one.

I don't know why they just didn't use a dvd drive that could read both standard dvds and the mini discs they insisted on using. I'm sure more gamecubes would have been sold if this was done from the beginning.

>Game Boy Light

>>384890657
Huge moderation costs because people kept building penises and not enough revenue.
Lego had a reputation to keep so they had to have absolutely zero tolerance to dicks, but people are creative so mods had to double/triple check everything.
It just didn't work.

>>384889173
PS1 should be super fine on the Pi3B, N64 can still have some troubles with some games at higher resolutions.
Bluetooth Ouya controller has a massive input delay.

>some Android phones
Keyword is some.

Android is also more of a negative than a positive too.

But to come back to the controller issue.
The input delay is already enough reason not to get an Ouya.

A 2nd hand Intel compute stick is probably a better deal.
Not sure if the 1st gen can handle emulating an N64, newer ones aren't that expensive either.
It's best to look up other people emulating with it though.

That's what the guy's saying bub, it is in no way an actual game changer and no one who actually likes to play video games is going to buy a PSVR rather than just a plain old PS4. It's in limbo between being very different and not different enough from how we're already playing games and it's not gonna leave that limbo until it's either incorporated properly and unintrusively in most high-profile releases or we get some actual games exclusive to the VR experience that don't suck dick
