We've seen truly bad game consoles over the years.

Our countdown of console failures includes the Atari Jaguar, the SouljaGame, the LaserActive, the R-Zone, and more! Did you own any of these console bombs? Do you think the hate is overblown?

I swear if I see Wii U on here...

Edit: Oh thank god.

The $1, 000, 000 question is: Can they all run Doom

[antonyjames.]

$250 for the turbo grafx in the 80s is equivelent to 950 itoday with inflation n such... thats wild.

The only two I have never heard of are the Nuon and the Gakken.

I was working at a second hand shop and needed to test an n-gage. I heard of it's reputation but It had some interesting games and thought "maybe it can be one of those 'so bad it's good' thing?", not knowing that I'm about to have one of the most miserable moments in my life. Like already said Controlls where atrocious and i needed to take that thing apart to switch games but also the displey was so small you had sometimes problems seeing what even happens on screen plus the games weren't even on the main display rather a subfolder(I needed 2 min simply to find the game). I had even pity with the console itself, such a disaster was that.

My cousin had a 3DO and i thought it was the greatest technological achievement in human history

I remember when I was a kid my R-Zone died so I made it into a DBZ scouter.

[noahboat]

I dont even think you can constitute the "souljagame" as a game console, when it was just emulation.

Also dishonorable mentioning:
Super A'can - Taiwan only video game console around 1995,
Casio Loopy - 1995,
Memorex VIS - 1992,
FM Town Marty - 1993,
V Smile - 2004

I’ve never even heard of most of these consoles.

9:19 Is it just me or does the Gizmondo music sound like The Powerpuff Girls? 😂

[pigs]

Amiga CDTV, CD32, Memorex VIS, and ViewMaster Interactive deserve to be on the list before the Atari 5200. Heck, the Atari XE deserves to be on there before the 5200. It wasn't a great console, but it runs circles around all of those.

Around the time of the CDI I remember seeing these really odd arcade machines. Which had people talking on the screen with a style similar to the CDI. Only, the technology was more advanced. The particular genre of gaming was unique. It felt rather futuristic even. I only remember seeing one arcade machine like this in a hotel in Missouri back in the 1990's.

Anyone growing up remembering the “bit wars” deserves a veterans discount

Didn’t watch this video yet, but I’m 100% for certain that the Atari Jaguar is going to be on this list. I just would like to take this time to point out the system’s positives and that it really isn’t as bad as many make it out to be. In fact, it’s actually quite a fun machine to own and it has some (dare I say) hidden gems that are exclusive to this system like Ultra Vortek, Super Burnout, Alien vs Predator, Skyhammer, Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy, the Iron Soldier games, Cybermorph, Battlemorph, BattleSphere, Defender 2000, Protector, and several others.

I had a Sega CD, a turbo graphics 16 that i bought off a movie store that had trouble renting it, and a neo geo. It was nice being a teen with no responsibilities

[MTTT]

I’m expected several if not many comments to be console fanboys saying either Xbox or PlayStation.

[retrotechguardian]

I have a boxed Tapwave Zodiac. That's another one that failed. But I'm glad I have one.

[doctorwyvern]

The Wario game on virtual boy looked like fun. Probably the only good game on that system. Why Nintendo has yet to remake it for newer consoles is mind boggling.
