I don't miss the memory cards but yeah I miss the era

I hate that Sega's VMU never took off and became mainstream
Memory cards used to feel personal, almost like phones do nowadays

Xbox was the same era as Gamecube ESL.

It's still funny to think back to storage space being so limited that they even made memory units for the 360. Fortunately as soon as you got a HDD you never actually needed them. Also pretty crazy to think the 360 only had 512 MB of RAM.
>>
>>723450517
For whatever reason Microsoft thought it was a good idea to sell poverty-spec 360s without a hard drive back then, despite the OG having them on the base models. The memory cards were a clever workaround but it sucked when they made the 360 slim without memory card slots but still kept selling the shitty 4GB models.
>>
>>723450979
Yeah, you could at least slot your own drive in there when you realize 4 gigs isn't nearly enough.
>>
>>723450105
As >>723450316 said, it's literally 6th-gen hardware.
>>
>>723450979
By the time the S model launched you could use a USB stick
>>
>some N64 games needed a controller memory pak to save any data, despite most just being able to save on the cartridge
why did this happen?
as a kid there were a few games I could never get to the end of because I could never save the game
>>
>>723451319
You couldn't transfer your OG 360's save files to the S, even with a USB stick.
t. did everything there was to do in Bayonetta and the S didn't recognize the save file.
>>
no one miss the gamecube
if you do, you are a sodomite
>>
>>723451483
Either big files (Mario Kart ghosts) or cheap publishers not wanting to cut into their profits to including saving.
>>
>>723451483
If you wanted your game to have saves on the cartridge you had to pay extra. This is on top of those cartridges already costing something ridiculous like $20-30 to produce. This is a part of the reason why there's only 388 N64 games released (and only 296 in NA). Comparatively the PS1 had thousands of games release.

Nah memory cards were ass. The only advantage they had would be bringing your files over to a friend's house.

My parents would give me a console for Christmas but I would never get a memory card. I remember beating GTA SA by leaving my PS2 running for like a week then I had to wipe all my progress away.

The GBA player was neat.
Almost everything else was gay, except the Capcom Five. (Well, Four)
