If you actually play retro games and enjoy them you will come to the logical conclusion that these are the only four consoles worth owning. Everything else is a paperweight people keep around for 1-2 exclusive games or purely nostalgia. I sold my other systems 9 months ago and I'm still having fun and playing heaps of games. Only other things I own are a PC and Third Strike arcade board.
PS3 is retro
The only consoles you need are PSX, Genesis, SNES, and PC engine.
>>12605259>GenesisOnly value is a bunch of mediocre platformers>PC EngineMeme console
>>12605258PS3 is dogshit. DS is the only "non-retro" console I would add.
Holy trinity of retro will always be NES, Genesis, PS1
>>12605256But I don't need any of that shit
>>12605256Why would you put the PS1 on there twice?
>>12605256I forgot to mention I'm trans
DS is retro, even more so than the PSP considering it has N64/PS1 graphics
>>12605256I play Genesis and master system more than snes and xbox more than ps1
>>12605256honestly out of the main consoles of each generation I'd say the only truly skippable one is the Xbox. NES, SMS, PCE, SMD, N64, SAT, DC and GC all have more than at least 10 great games.
>>12605325Because playing PS1 on PS2 console is an inferior experience that creates glitches and artifacts.
>>12605256It doesn't really matter what you game on as long as you aren't paying out the arsehole for the actual games on systems that are either emulated to an acceptable standard or have easy off the shelf mods that let you pirate and play the entire library. Just play whatever interests you and don't waste your money on overpriced shit.>>12605726Xbox has Steel Battalion and the only home port of Silent Scope, including a fuckass looking controller for it which instantly elevates it from irrelevant trashsole to at least somewhat interesting for the people who care about these things.
>>12605256These are the only 3 consoles i actually kept. Till death does us part.
>>12605256These are the only consoles i actually kept.
>>12605269Nta, I love the PS3, it still has that old Sony soul before they became Snoy in the mid 8th gen. I do agree that the DS is spiritually retro, though. The DS feels like a PS1 successor to me.
>>12605269Ahh a Nintendo fag I see. Nice triforce tattoo
>>12605753Neo Geo is just fighting games, which honestly just kinda sucked before online became a thing. Unless you have a community to play with. Saturn and Genesis can stay for all the great shmups though
Actually only Ps1, Ps2, Dreamcast and Gamecube are needed.>muh PC Engine!lmao
>Neo-Geoworthless system without any RPGs, but i give you the SNES, PS1/2
>>12605256Only PC is worth it
>>12605850KYS, you weeb faggot
>>12605256test
>>12605256>NEOGEOWhy? PS2 is a Neogeo.
>>12605259PC engine is the best with CD games, but Hu Card games are mid, except kiki kaikai and ninja spirit which are awesome.
>>12605762SNES & DS are purely RPG machines. It has nothing to do with nintendies.>>12605850No, but the other consoles are the king's of that category, Neo Geo is purely worth owning as a party console. Although I'll admit it's more unnecessary than the others, especially when you have a third strike board.
>>12605256Just say you're a normie anon.Neo Geo is an odd choice though.
>>12605259>no Watara SupervisionJoke post.
>>12605267>>12606649>if it isn't nintendo, you're just a shitposter or baiting!fucking nuke this website
>>12606653The joke post post was a recursive joke, anon.
>>12606583Hucard library btfo the CD library. Bomberman ‘93 and ‘94, Devil’s Crush, Alien Crush, the Bonk games, Legendary Axe I & II, Blazing Lazers, Magical Chase, the Star Soldier games, Splatterhouse, Air Zonk>>>>Super Air Zonk, Military Madness>>>Neo-Nectaris, list goes on; plus you get that sweet chiptune instead of generic red book.
>>12606671Blazing lazers is mid, didn't have fun. also you are cherrypicking the CD games.
>>12606686I specifically mentioned Neo Nectaris and Super Air Zonk because they have (superior) HuCard predecessors.
>>12606697Fair enough.
>selling your consolesNice psyop thread
Funny, you posted all my paperweight consoles.
>>12605256>no NES or Mega DriveGay
>>12606938The NES is too primitive and its games have janky controls and artificial difficulty, even JRPGs didn't get good until the SNES
>>12605256>ftfyLiterally all you actually need.
>>12605259True.
All you need is the NES and PS2. Everything between those consoles, before those consoles, and after those consoles are filler dogshit
>>12605256All you actually need is Neo-Geo, the rest are wieners and filler.
>>12607058JRPGs are primitive. VNs are better
>>12607063The MiSTer can't play PS2 games. Nice try shill.
>>12607063>has a fan>louder than the consoles it emulatesNo thanks.
>Neo GeoWhy the fuck should I own one when so many of its best games are on the platforms I do own?
>Literally all you need
>>12607127Correct. A MiSTer could never emulate a PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox, or Gamecube. Thank god for PC's!
>>12607127Literally useless for playing all the good games of the 21st century
>>12605256>neogeo is more essential than an NES, genesis or 64>ps2 is retrotry to make your retarded bait believable next time, faggot.
>Essential tier: NES, SNES, N64, PS1, Gamecube>Nigger NPC tier: everything else
>>12607354tendie list
>>12605256>Everything else is a paperweightSuch as a ps1 when you already own a ps2
>>12607063why is everyone here so adamant about playing their games with a smart fan?
>>12605738Wrong + autistic if youre using an actual disc and not loading it through homebrew.
>>12607362I can play Doom on my Apple Watch
>>12605258PS3 can't be retro considering it launched with a HDMI port and 1080p output, unlike the Xbox 360.
>>12605738And you don't get the iconic PS1 boot screen and sound playing your PS1 games on a PS2 either.
>>12605897If you mean a PC with a CRT monitor and a wired Xbox 360 controller, then yes I agree with you.
>>12609069with 360 with a crt filter and runahead
>>12609070And a bong dude
>>12607361What if your PS1 is modchipped but your PS2 isn't?
>>12605278Giga based.
>>12605278>NESYIKES, primitive junk only liked by boomers who have memories playing it and are blinded by nostalgia.
>>12609079>modchippedModchips on a PS1 is worthless now, especially since ODE's exist.
>>12609063>t-the PS3 can't be retro because it has 30yo technology
