What retro consoles ACTUALLY matter?

What are the ones that will satisfy anyone and they'll be content they're not missing out on anything worthwhile if they don't go beyond those libraries?
>>
Everything Nintendo except the Virtual Boy and 64DD
Everything Sega except the SG-1000
Everything Sony
NEC PC Engine (CD)
Neo Geo AES

Liar. The Genesis BARELY matters and anything that isn't is outright disposable.
>>
all of them except for anything atari

Shut up, fag

For the good consoles you'll find they have a distinct identity down to the way the games feel, the way pixels are drawn and how little things like operating the unit and controller informs the experience. The bad ones seem to lack a strong identity.

PS1 is the only console with no weakness in it's library,there is something for everyone
>>
>>12768295
Are you a "PS2 has too much shovelware to be considered 'good'" fag?
>>
>>12768297
No but it has too few 2D games to be considered a more diverse library than the PS1
>>
>>12768319
Well you're also not necessarily cut off from that by having a PS2 nonetheless.
>>
>>12768326
Name a noteworthy original 2D platform game on PS2

I wouldn't go as far to say the consoles I've left out have nothing worthwhile and there are tons of great arcade games that didn't get ports on these systems (or at all) but they all have extremely good libraries and you get almost all of the highlights

>zoomer trash faggot has absolutely no conception of enjoying himself with games, desperately needs to know which fraction of the hobby to align himself with to slap together a fake personality
you are literally human garbage

>>12768432
But I thought that was the modern /vr/ way.
>>
>>12768198
Realistically whatever you like my go tos for about 6 or 7 years now have been ps1 snes genesis. Lately ive been playing alot more gba and tg 16 but still kinda in that 16 bit 32 bit era. I like n64 alot. Recently got into amiga cd32. If I had to pick like two or three consoles itd just be snes ps1 genesis. Currently the only sixth Gen console I have is a homebrewed wii with a shitload of gamecube games on it. No longer do i have a xbox or ps2. Im okay with that. I also added a shit load of sega cd games to it. Thats it. It depends what you like all this shit is basically free now anyways as long as you're not making any money off roms youre good. Just keep having fun dont download two million games and if you do just pick one you like now and beat it. Pretend when you load it you personally just walked into eb games and spent 69.99 on that fucking shit and play it through

Hush child, think before you post.
>>
>>12768198
No consoles actually matter. The sole purpose of console is so that I can hoard them to make poor children cry.
>>
>>12768198
None, because I like playing all kinds of games. I WILL be missing out if I pointlessly limit myself to satisfy others, so me and my autism will go further beyond.
>>
>>12768206
Virtual boy has an awesome wario game, you are wrong and this thread is fucking gay, OP is a faggot

>>12768225
It's cool that know you have no counter.

>"PS2 has too much shovelware to be considered 'good'"
The PS2 specifically lacks tons of the shit that PS1 did well, backwards compatibility doesn't count here. Even its 'good games' are either incredibly tedious or converge into being 3rd person action shooters so much of the time, and its multiplayer library has shockingly few fun couch multiplayer games. It threw away everything positively indie-like that let its predecessor thrive. It's unsettling how much less interesting it is to explore than the PS1.
>>
>>12769779
Agreed

2 other big problem of the PS2 library

1)worst multiplat of it's gen by a wide margin , sometimes it's so bad that it's almost not the same game like Splinter cell Chaos theory

2) a huge lack of 2D games,i can't recall any 2D pixel art platformer on PS2 that's not an emulated retro compilation
>>
>>12769360
>None

That means no console matters.

Which is correct, why aren't you people just emulating everything? It's so much more efficient.
>>
>>12768198
NES, Snes, N64, GameCube, Saturn, Ps1, Ps2, GB, GBC, GBA and PC

That's it
>>
>>12768198
The ones that are backwards compatible. Takes up less space.

Based. This is also why I play through jarpigs like I only bought the game and didn't get the strategy guide to better simulate my young broke ass.
>>
>>12768198
PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, Genesis, NES and 2600.
>>
>>12768212
Me when I'm retarded and gay
>>
>>12768295
PS2 is the smart choice because it plays most PS1 titles
