Most overrated console

This post is a fact

by far

Where's the PS1? That shit is definitely overrated even the Saturn is better than it

shit hardware, loads of shovelware, made for casuals, worst controller of the gen, most boring design of the gen

Gamecube. N64 is generally considered to be bad. Dreamcast has a very passionate fanbase but is generally ignored. Gamecube had entries in series that actively hurt those series yet is passionately loved by a vocal group.

Wii

definitely fucking dreamcast. I had one they could play burned pirated game cds and i still couldn't find a fucking game to play. shenmue was fucking boring as shit, jet set radio got boring fast and wasn't even fun or good to begin with, I thought power stone was fucking shit. couldn't find a single fucking game I liked on the entire fucking system.

>>384920943
>hating on power stone
nigger you just need to find a bro to play with

I agree about Shenmue though, I cannot understand the love for this game

N64 because people to this say say it was better than the PS1

>>384921185
I agree, Gamecube fans and Dreamcast fans rarely believe those consoles had a better library than PS2. N64 fans often believe it beat the PS1 in that regard.

>>384920943
OP here. That was my vote. There is literally zero good games on the Dreamcast. apart from maybe the odd game that's been ported a million times like Soul Calibur

>>384921185
>>384921347
The N64 stomps the PS1 are you fucking kidding me?!

>>384921446
For every great game on N64, PS1 has one of equal quality and 5 more lesser but still good games.

>>384921446

What has Soul Calibur 1 been ported to?

>>384915176

Could it be any more obvious that sonygro made this poll?

>>384915176
Out of these three, Dreamcast definitely.

N64 had innovative first party games like Mario 64, OoT and Majora's Mask, as well as classics like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

Gamecube had Melee, which is still being played competitively. Also Metroid Prime, Wind Waker etc.

Dreamcast had a bunch of really good ports of arcade games. But those were still ports. The arcade originals have held up just as well and most worthwhile games have gotten superior ports since then. Other than that there's the start of the shitty 3D Sonic games and... not much else really. The Dreamcast is not relevant anymore and it never really was.

>>384921627
Well the first time I played it was on XBLA.

>>384920779
It's funny to read this since the load times are much faster in the Saturn version.
And I was generous to post MMX4: it's probably one of the few time the ps could compete.

>>384921418
Sorry about your bad taste. Capcom support alone already makes it a worthwhile purchase.

PS2

>>384921706
You've just got to be objective. I admit that putting not one but two Nintendo consoles in the selection was goona bait the Nintendofags too easily but calling any Sony home console bad or overrated just doesn't make any sense purely because of their massive game libraries.

Despite the fact that the "massive game library" was filled with overrated games as well as sub par multiplats.

>>384922153
PS1 and PS2 were good consoles, but not because of the size of their game libraries. 99% of them were shit. It's just that there were enough good games among that sea of shit.

>>384922197
Any now your argument has fallen down. You can actually name all the good N64 games off the top of your head or by looking at your collection or whatever. No one can name all the good PS1 games because its library is so vast.

>>384922197
Banjo games held up surprisingly poorly.
Goemon was never that great

Not only that but he listed the same game twice lmao

Of those three choices? Probably the N64. It aged the worst, because it's 5th gen. It has a ridiculously small library. It's in large part missing entire genres. Don't get me wrong, the few games it did get are all time classics, but as a whole, I just think it's a bit lacking.

>>384922421
>>384922306
I'm saying that, because they have such massive libraries, they can't have less good games than the N64 or Gamecube respectively so calling them bad or overrated doesn't make sense. The quality over quantity argument doesn't mean anything when they have roughly the same amount of quality games (the PS2 quite a few more than the Gamecube)

N64.
Saturn was better than that.
PSX>Saturn>N64

>>384922748

Yeah the Wii was Nintendo's submission that the Gamecube failed

>>384923009
The Gamecube didn't fail. Yes, it was third place, but it was only 2 million sales behind the OG Xbox. Everything failed compared to the PS2.

>>384923091
Selling so poorly that it causes Iwata to say that if they keep making consoles like the Gamecube they don't deserve to be in the console business is absolutely, 100% failing.

Never played Space Station but i've seen lot of praise for it.

Except the Gamecube wasn't a failure at all especially when it came to software. Regardless of what you believe if it makes a profit then it's not a failure by any means.

>Making money is kind of the opposite of being a failure.
The company president saying that if the company keeps making consoles like the Gamecube they don't deserve to be in the console business IS being a failure. Are you saying that Iwata lied about the Gamecube's performance?

>>384923864
>Except the Gamecube wasn't a failure at all especially when it came to software.
It absolutely was. The purpose of first-party software is to sell hardware. The Gamecube was a failure, and therefore its failure can be attributed to poor software.

>Regardless of what you believe if it makes a profit then it's not a failure by any means.
Absolutely not. Nintendo's stock price was in the toilet after the N64 and Gamecube. A change was absolutely necessary and the Wii was that change. Then the Wii U comes out being the Gamecube 2.0, flops, and tanks their stock price again. There's more to business than just making a profit. You need to be able to sustain growth.

>>384915176
all three of these did poorly compared to other consoles at the time

Very few 2D games

But hey, at least you can save your damn games and do multiplayer while fucking your controller up. I'll give it that.

>>384924391
>That didn't seem to stop them making the Switch.
Because like with the Gamecube, a change in direction was necessary. Nintendo became delusional from their Wii success and thought that making a console in the style of the Gamecube and giving it the Wii branding would be a surefire way to success. The problem is that they never considered that people didn't want the Gamecube the first time around and they wouldn't want the type of games the Gamecube got the second time around with the Wii U.

>>384924784
>making a console in the style of the Gamecube
Gamecube was the last time Nintendo tried making a console that was just a straightforward game machine. Everything since then has been gimmick shit, especially the Wii U.

I can't believe there are still people who believe the N64 was better than th PS1. The 64 was fun but PS1 was far superior in all aspects except 64's 4 player support.
My vote is dreamcast as most overrated

Is N64 really overrated? It's generally seen as one of Nintendo's weakest consoles and the start of their decline in the market.

>>384925461
This thread has shown that there are plenty of people who believe the N64 is better than the PS1.

You retard that's him admitting that it didn't meet HIS standards. Not that it failed.

You want to see a real failure? Look at the PS3, it cost Sony BILLIONS regardless of the 80m+ units it sold.

The GC was a failure
The fact that nintendo became nu-nintendo is proof of that, you can even find more about that in interviews too
Whats up with nu-nintendofags trying to revision history?

>>384923209
>>384924248
Can I get a source on that Iwata quote? Also, there's another way to interpret that quote. He could've meant "keep making consoles like the Gamecube" as in "keep making gimmick-free consoles".

PS1 is a very overrated console. PS2 is meh, it kinda deserves it. Same with DS and Gameboy, they deserve their praise.

Wii is pretty overated. It was the most casual console in history, most of the games were honestly shovelware, besides nintendo releases.
Name eight 3rd party titles that were at least 9/10 and sold above 2 mil on the Wii.

You can't.

>its another /v/ thinks overrated means its bad episode

>>384924301
>Games that later get ported to other systems don't count
It's not the Dreamcast's fault if it's games go elsewhere years later. It's like saying "the original Devil May Cry isn't a PS2 exclusive because it got an HD port over a decade later"

Also, JSRF is the same as JSR in the sense that Splatoon 2 is the same as Splatoon. It's not an enhanced port, it's a sequel that refines the basic gameplay mechanics and adds more content.

Nope, logical fallacy. The real reason is because OP could actually remember n64 games because they were all classics.

Shenmue 2 wasn't even released on Dreamcast in US IIRC, it was just Xbox. And Skies of Arcadia was 2 years later.

When we're talking "overrated", it's easily the N64. The Dreamcast has a lot of fans, but you don't see people far and wide proclaiming it the best console of all time the way some people do with the N64.

With a few exceptions, the N64 had shitty games. Even the good ones were held back by the console, often running at extremely low frame rates, tons of fog, and an awful blurry look.

The Gamecube isn't really notable. People talk about the games, but it might be a little underrated even as the best version of some games is on the Gamecube.

>>384915176
probably n64, had one growing up, isn't much I care about playing these days on it anymore other than like F-Zero X
maybe the Wii -- but it's a useful machine with a big ass library (even if like 98% is absolute shit) and 240p output for VC games and GC backwards compatibility, and I actually enjoyed Wii Sports

might argue DC, a lot of the really well liked shit has better ports to other machines now, and the library is pretty small, so losing a handful of games to other systems is a big deal for it
the library is pretty good as a whole, but at this point in time, what am I left with? Power Stone? Cannon Spike? Seaman? Soulcalibur 1? Maybe SA1 (entirely different glitches, better lighting and textures than SADX)?
VOOT is better on 360. SA2 is mostly better on GC.
I guess the biggest advantage to the DC is that all of these games are just in the same place.

>>384919839
the original pre-GBC Game Boy is painfully overrated

>>384920779
Saturn version of X4 has different tradeoffs (eg, the nice heat-haze effect in the BG after the colony drop is only on Saturn since PS1 draws backgrounds completely differently and can't do raster effects like that).

>>384937048
let me respond to you anyway like the fucking autist I am

forgot a part of the post anyway:
>The poor console can't even display a full screen FMV
PS1 has what's basically a JPEG decoder (IIRC, it's not actually JPEG, but it's close enough, works on the same principles), making FMV playback extremely low effort.
On the Saturn, you basically need to decode it in software, so FMVs almost universally kind of suck on the machine.
there's an MPEG card you can add into the Saturn that technically solves the problem, but only a tiny handful of games used it and it was expensive anyway

>>384936484
>there are like 200 good games for the thing
I'd say around 30 or so. The rest are painfully mediocre or better on other systems.

>>384937536
I know all about that shit too :)

But hey at least the MPEG card ended up being a convenient backdoor into the Saturn's security

If you're going to use ports to argue against a console then the PS2 was fucking dogshit.

Dreamcast had a short lived production and Sega was trying to make money off of DC games by porting them, as a third party developer it's only logical since they were no longer in the console business.

>>384915176
