You didn't mention N-Gage either. Your list is a joke.

If you have nothing useful to contribute, leave my thread. This is serious business.

 

Didn't the N-gage force nintendo to make the GBC? Because thier gameboy still had no color. I remember when my friend got the N-gage. I was like "WHATTATA??!?!~? you have color?!?!"

Okay. The original Odyssey should be on the list since it was the first relatively successful video game system. Is that serious enough?

Couldn't you argue that the SNES had online first?

That was more of a satellite...thingy. I don't think it connected anywhere else. Could be wrong, though, seeing as how it never left Japan.

XBAND.  It was released in the US for SNES and Genesis.  I still have mine.  I played Street Fighter (don't remember which one), Mortal Kombat 3, Super Mario Kart, and NBA Jam on it.  You plugged your phone line directly into the XBAND and hogged the phone all day so your family got pissed, same as modem-to-modem Doom 2.  Great times.

That was a third party solution, but nonetheles you are correct.

What noname2200 meant was the Satellaview which was only released in Japan. This thing was plugged into the bottom of the SNES (just like the 64DD into the N64) and could connect to a Nintendo server where you could download several games which were usually remakes of or add-ons to popular Nintendo titles such as the original Zelda, F-Zero and Excitebike. No online play though.

 

So that takes away from the downloading for the 360 to get on the list. Well I guess it has nothing then.



@ Rol, I have no sense of humour

 



Why are PS2 and PS1 6 and 7 on that list..
Something doesn't seem right here.

Okay now you're just saying all kinds of crazy shit, so I'm gonna make a simple timeline for you.

 

1989: Game Boy (4 shades of grey, not backlit, long battery life, only $110, then $90, huge success) WITH TETRIS

1989: Atari Lynx (color, backlit, 4 hour battery life, $190, huge failure,) NO TETRIS

1990: Sega Game Gear (color, backlit, 5 hour battery life, $150, sold 11 million over 8 years) NO TETRIS

1991: Linx II (cheaper, sleeker, better re-launch of Lynx I, also instant failure) NO TETRIS

1998: Game Boy Color (color) WITH TETRIS DX

2001: Game Boy Advance

2003: N-Gage

2004: Nintendo DS and Sony PSP

2005: Nokia announces that the N-Gage is a piece of shit and has only sold 3 million copies and will now become an online gaming service for smartphones.

2008: Nokia launches it's N-Gage online gaming service for smartphones.

I was being sarcastic about the N-Gage.  I don't know about the other guy.

Oh I know your M.O. by now.  But the other guy's freaking me out.  The spreading of lies about rumble, analog joysticks, the Power Glove, and the N-Gage all in one thread by a single poster is too much.
