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.

Only value is a bunch of mediocre platformers
>PC Engine
Meme console

PS3 is dogshit. DS is the only "non-retro" console I would add.
>>
Holy trinity of retro will always be NES, Genesis, PS1
>>
>>12605256
But I don't need any of that shit
>>
>>12605256
Why would you put the PS1 on there twice?
>>
>>12605256
I forgot to mention I'm trans

DS is retro, even more so than the PSP considering it has N64/PS1 graphics
>>
>>12605256
I play Genesis and master system more than snes and xbox more than ps1
>>
>>12605256
honestly 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.
>>
>>12605325
Because playing PS1 on PS2 console is an inferior experience that creates glitches and artifacts.

It 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.

>>12605726
Xbox 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.
>>
>>12605256
These are the only 3 consoles i actually kept. Till death does us part.

Nta, 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.
>>
>>12605269
Ahh a Nintendo fag I see. Nice triforce tattoo
>>
>>12605753
Neo 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-Geo
worthless system without any RPGs, but i give you the SNES, PS1/2
>>
>>12605256
Only PC is worth it

PC engine is the best with CD games, but Hu Card games are mid, except kiki kaikai and ninja spirit which are awesome.
>>
>>12605762
SNES & DS are purely RPG machines. It has nothing to do with nintendies.
>>12605850
No, 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.
>>
>>12605256
Just say you're a normie anon.
Neo Geo is an odd choice though.

Hucard 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.
>>
>>12606671
Blazing lazers is mid, didn't have fun. also you are cherrypicking the CD games.
>>
>>12606686
I specifically mentioned Neo Nectaris and Super Air Zonk because they have (superior) HuCard predecessors.
>>
>>12606697
Fair enough.
>>
>selling your consoles
Nice psyop thread
>>
Funny, you posted all my paperweight consoles.

The NES is too primitive and its games have janky controls and artificial difficulty, even JRPGs didn't get good until the SNES

Literally all you actually need.
>>
>>12605259
True.
>>
All you need is the NES and PS2. Everything between those consoles, before those consoles, and after those consoles are filler dogshit
>>
>>12605256
All you actually need is Neo-Geo, the rest are wieners and filler.
>>
>>12607058
JRPGs are primitive. VNs are better
>>
>>12607063
The MiSTer can't play PS2 games. Nice try shill.
>>
>>12607063

>louder than the consoles it emulates
No thanks.

>Neo Geo
Why the fuck should I own one when so many of its best games are on the platforms I do own?

Correct. A MiSTer could never emulate a PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox, or Gamecube. Thank god for PC's!
>>
>>12607127
Literally useless for playing all the good games of the 21st century

>>12605256
>neogeo is more essential than an NES, genesis or 64

try to make your retarded bait believable next time, faggot.

Such as a ps1 when you already own a ps2
>>
>>12607063
why is everyone here so adamant about playing their games with a smart fan?
>>
>>12605738
Wrong + autistic if youre using an actual disc and not loading it through homebrew.
>>
>>12607362
I can play Doom on my Apple Watch

>>12605258
PS3 can't be retro considering it launched with a HDMI port and 1080p output, unlike the Xbox 360.
>>
>>12605738
And you don't get the iconic PS1 boot screen and sound playing your PS1 games on a PS2 either.
>>
>>12605897
If you mean a PC with a CRT monitor and a wired Xbox 360 controller, then yes I agree with you.
>>
>>12609069
with 360 with a crt filter and runahead

>>12609070

What if your PS1 is modchipped but your PS2 isn't?
>>
>>12605278
Giga based.
>>
>>12605278
>NES
YIKES, primitive junk only liked by boomers who have memories playing it and are blinded by nostalgia.
>>
>>12609079
>modchipped
Modchips on a PS1 is worthless now, especially since ODE's exist.
>>
>>12609063
>t-the PS3 can't be retro because it has 30yo technology
