Interesting! I didn’t know Nintendo released a home video game console before the NES. And it was quite successful too, from what I’m reading. Perhaps the reason for my lack of knowledge is the fact that the Color TV-Game consoles were released only in Japan.

Damn, I remember this game! One of my childhood favorites. I borrowed it on a CD from my neighbor. The destruction system blew me away. After numerous other racing games where cars were basically tanks, it was such a breath of fresh air to be able to smash a car into pieces. In the 90s, that was a very memorable game mechanic. To this day, I remember this game while I forgot dozens of others.
2·1 year agoI wonder why they’re so hesitant to come back to the handheld market. Of course, the Vita was a failure, but I think they could come back from that. After all, the Vita is remembered rather fondly, and from a technical POV, it was good hardware. And the PSP was just a big success. There’s also this handheld craze right now, I bet they could capitalize on that with some nostalgia for the PSP/Vita and with their know-how.
2·1 year agoThanks, good job. I always loved that subreddit. The comments there, made by actual historians, were always a treat for a history fan. At this point, it’s a huge repository of reliable knowledge and it would be a shame to lose it.
What the…? It’s such a nonsense business move. The app store now shows this pixel icon when you search for the Reddit app. At first glance, it looks as if it was some shitty clone or something, not the original client.

I think it was actually a NES, and one of my first games must have been Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. I must have been 4 or 5 when I got the NES. When I got my hands on it, the NES was already past its prime (I received it from my cousin, who was getting rid of it when the next generation of consoles came in), but that didn’t stop me from having loads of fun. Didn’t care about graphics or the next big thing. Perks of being so young.
