Just a few from me: Nintendo best: AV Famicom worst: Virtual Boy SEGA best: Skeleton Saturn worst: SG-1000 NEC best: PC Engine worst: PC-FX Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Fleach on January 20, 2013, 04:10:35 PM Here are my two cents:
Best in Nintendo: SNES / Worst: Virtual Boy Best in Sega: Dreamcast / Worst: None Best in Sony: PSOne / Worst: None Honourable Mentions: original PS2, that Sega Tower of Power in the first post Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Leynos on January 20, 2013, 04:22:43 PM You might want to put a *pic heavy* warning in the title. Just a few from me: Nintendo best: AV Famicom worst: Virtual Boy SEGA best: Skeleton Saturn worst: SG-1000 NEC best: PC Engine worst: PC-FX Would not fit and I tried using spoiler tags but said I didn't have permission to. The fuck is up with that? never had a forum do that Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Izret101 on January 20, 2013, 05:28:49 PM Spoilered it for you.
No clue why it would tell you you did not have permission to do so. Never heard of that happening before. Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Leynos on January 20, 2013, 05:54:50 PM Spoilered it for you. Now there is nothing there. Kinda puzzled here. Is it a permissions thing in ACP?No clue why it would tell you you did not have permission to do so. Never heard of that happening before.

Didn't really think much of it at the time and just moved on.

Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Crabmaster2000 on January 20, 2013, 06:49:43 PM Best in Nintendo: Gamecube (platinum version) / Worst: NES (I love it, but man is it ugly) Virtual Boy is sexy, you guys are nuts
Best in Sega: Sega CDX / Worst: Dreamcast Best in Sony: PSOne / Worst: Playstation Other beauties: NEO GEO AES, SNES, N64, Virtual Boy, 360 Slim, Saturn Ugg-o's - Xbox, 3DO FZ-1, Most Playstation Consoles, 360, Most Sega Consoles, I think the ugliest system for me has to be the original Playstation though. Truely vomit inducing :D Sexiest for me is likely the Platinum Gamecube (even sexier with a GB Player). Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Ghost Soldier on January 20, 2013, 07:42:20 PM Best in Nintendo: Super NES/ Worst: Virtual Boy
Best in Sony: Playstation/ Worst: Playstation 2 Best in Sega: Genesis Model 2/ Worst: Genesis Model 3 Other systems that are awesome looking N64, 3do FZ-10, Neo Geo AES, and JVC X-Eye Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: Cobra on January 20, 2013, 08:00:25 PM Normally I don't think too much about the appearance, as for comfort and functionality I'd have a lot to talk about then...
But if we are going on looks alone my favourite is the Sega Saturn Virtua Stick Pro. [img width=541 height=242]http://i.imgur.com/zBBUX6h.jpg[/img] Least favourite looking, I was thinking the Atari Jaguar's control, but after really thinking about it I think the 360+keyboard combo gets my pick.

Best: Jaguar worst: original Lynx

Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: moonraker_fats on January 20, 2013, 11:43:26 PM The Japanese Saturn is a sexy beast. Not so great...any clear or see through system; I'm talking to you N64.

Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on January 21, 2013, 10:40:07 PM NES looks like shit.
Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: moonraker_fats on January 21, 2013, 11:57:27 PM NES looks like shit. Yesterday I was refurbing a NES for a buddy and my wife asked why I have to bend all those little pins back up...I told her because some asshole wanted it to look like a VCR. She laughed and said that no one would have bought a VCR that looked like that. My wife and you are correct sir, NES does look like shit. Title: Re: Best/worst looking Consoles/controllers to you Post by: bombatomba on February 01, 2013, 09:56:47 AM The Microsoft Sidewinder controller family for PC. Every one of them features that "turn your hands sideways" grip, an obvious precursor to the Xbox "Duke" Never could get used to that, especially with "Up" on the D-pad being more sideways. MS always claimed the Duke was the result of product testing. BS. That thing was a Sidewinder reject through and through.

She laughed and said that no one would have bought a VCR that looked like that. Another side-effect of the video game crash. It couldn't look like a video game because America was "over" that video game fad. I guess it worked considering the outcome, but yeah, not only is it an unattractive console, it's a big ole pain the in butt. My wife and you are correct sir, NES does look like shit.

MS always claimed the Duke was the result of product testing. BS. That thing was a Sidewinder reject through and through. I never particularly cared for any MS controllers - be it Xbox or Sidewinder or anything. And it's all due, as you said, to some possible high focus group. And the 360 controller is definitely the best of the MS lot, but I still prefer the Playstation Dual-Shock (1,2,3) setup. It just looks more symmetrical and simple. Best looking console? Looking at my row of gaming consoles, I can't help but notice that that shy little Gamecube in the corner is just so compact and stylish. No strange curves or excess bulk, just a simple, portable cube in your choice of colors. I just wish the controller was as simple and not a mismash of buttons that differ in size and shape. |
