Suck My Controller is the Gamers Heroes Podcast where we talk about video games. In this episode we talk about the Ouya, MMO's, the English and other fun topics.
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.
The top 10 rarest 3DS games of all time are probably ones you both did and didn't expect. Especially if you had these games!
I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.
Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.
Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already
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.
Change your name, suck my controller sounds ofensive and stupid...
Your spelling is offensive. And just so you know, they won't be listening to you...
Message to Ramas, and anyone else. My company is called Suck My Trend, and I can assure you our 250,000 visitors are more than happy with the name.
Ouya is the console I've been waiting for for a long time.
It's perfect for a user like me. If I want better hardware, I swap it out. If I want a new OS/Software, I just install it.
Wait... it sounds like a weird looking laptop with a controller and custom OS when I think about it...
I have a hard time seeing it succeed as all Andriod games currently out are designed for a touch screen so anything that really takes advantage of the system is going to have to be specifically designed for it. Unless it sells like hot cakes, I really don't see very many Andriod programmers choosing to develope for it over the phones and tablets.
