Hardcore Gamer: Whispering Willows just hit Steam, but the OUYA version hit a month ago.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Online video game retailer Physicality Games, in partnership with video game publishers Akupara Games and Mastiff, today announced the planned physical release of the 2D adventure-horror video game, "Whispering Willows" on the Nintendo Switch™ system and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system from Sony.
I played this game and the character moves so damn slow I quit playing it. Frustrating with all the back tracking
Really? I thought that you could run in this game? Or perhaps I remember it wrong? :S
Virtual Boy, Sega Nomad, Ouya and the other troubled game systems that nobody bought.
How has this article missed out Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's Wii U, two consoles that were actually superb devices in their own right, but were seen as failed due to lacklustre sales at the time of release?
Wonder how long before Stadia appears on the list surprised the Ngage is not on that list
Talk about a blast to the past.......I remember trying the virtual boy at Toy R Us and it was cool but I did feel slightly disoriented afterwards......good article.
