I've never understood people's interest in crowning a "worst" of a category. Whether it's the worst expansion of World of Warcraft, or worst console of a generation. You can't actually back up what you're saying, because you've never tried them all.


Whilst your point was a very good one, I would question the part I left there ^. Lots of people HAVE tried all WoW expansions.


Oh, good point! You're completely right there.

Is the Wii U the worst console ever? Or does another console hold that spot for you?

 

For me it would have to be either the Saturn or the Gamecube.


Bwahaha, what a troll (the writer of the article).

"The Game Pad’s screen is resistive. Yes, you heard that right. Resistive! Remember that Palm Pilot you had back in the day, which only responded to input from a stylus? Well, Nintendo’s Game Pad uses the same technology. The screen barely registers the press from a finger."

 Yes, sure, I pull out the stylus on ZombiU every time I switch the weapon, use the radar or turn on/off the light. The buttons are placed on the gamepad in a matter, that they can easily be reached by the thumbs. It works, The guy has never even tried it.

Not the worst of all time.

But it really sucks balls.


It can?? damn the Wii-U really does everything...No need for a girlfriend/wife at all then... and it's cheap.

Saturn or Gamecube? Seriously? The Jaguar and CD-I are fighting for that spot and since I can't remember any decent games for the CD-I it takes the gold..erm pyrite.

Edit: I'm surprised that this isn't a Turkish thread.

The first reply of the thread said everything I was thinking. Sweet.

The worst console was by Nintendo but most of you probably never heard of it.

The Virtual Boy, no other console comes close to shitiness.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Virtua Boy is definitely Nintendo's worst console, but it still had better games than the CD-I

Hands down the worst console ever created was the Sega 32x. I bought one of these beauties back in the day and I am still to this day waiting for a single game to be released. Such an epic failure this console was and really the whole Sega franchise. Look at the stuff they were putting out. Sega CD, 32X, Nomad, Saturn, and not to mention the epic game release failures.

Darn and I was just starting to love the thing.. oh well, better throw it in the trash.. >_>

No, it isn't, and it has only been out a month.

This guy bases his entire premise on the GamePad being invented to compete with the iPad. He apparently isn't aware that Iwata and Miyamoto came up with the GamePad idea in 2008, before the iPad even existed. It's not meant to be a tablet or to compete with tablets. It's meant to be a game controller that allows for asymmetrical gameplay. This entire article is hogwash.
