You forgot the Wii, which is the obvious winner here
Little emulation powerhouse, I love my Wii.
Jailbroken to hell and back with half of the library on an SSD and all the emulators I want (except xemu, but like, that’s a pipe dream the thing isn’t that powerful).
I recommend literally everyone who has a wii in their garage or attic, pull it out and spend some time jailbreaking it, the things are really great consoles, bonus points if you have a CRT for it.
Yes! My only complaint is games will sometimes freeze for a second. It’s particularly annoying for just dance. If you have any tips for that, I’d love to hear them. I’m using a flash drive instead of SSD, so maybe it’s that?
It’s been awhile since I loaded games onto storage, but back when I did it, that software was only available on windows. Idk if it’s gotten any better since then, but I have literally no reason to use windows other than hacking my Wii
Flash drive are usually Kinda terrible, especially at the Wii’s USB2.0 speed. I’d consider an SDXC card. I use a partition on my 512GB SDXC for my games with heavier assets (lol @ heavy wii games, like why?) to improve loading speed. The wii’s SD slot is significantly faster than its USB ports.
If you use a big SD like that, you don’t need to partition it, I only do that because I also use that card in other consoles and like to keep the data separate.
I picked up a cheap Wii to give it a try for the first time after looking into its library and finding out how many gems it had.
I’ve jailbroken a bit in the past, like the OG Xbox and PSP, but by god, the documentation available for jailbreaking the Wii is just superb, made it an absolute breeze to do. But what shocked me the most was the tools available post jailbreak. Being able to quickly connect the Wii to wifi and then have access to an extremely polished Homebrew software store, full of emulators and cool little community made games, which I could download directly to my wii effortlessly with the push of a button was something I had never experienced before with older consoles.
After playing around with it for a few weeks, it quickly went from a console I had passed over for decades as a gimmick, to literally my favorite console of all time. Such a great little box with so many games that give a totally unique experience. Also the balance board combined with Wii Fit and the multiple EA Fitness games for it offer a surprisingly fun way to motivate you to get some decent aerobic exercise.
It also helps that they’re really well made, quiet little devices that barely take up any room (and it doubles as a gamecube, too!)
Similar joke from ‘Cheers.’
Sam and Woody are talking. Same says that sometimes he likes to put on really old rock and roll; The Supremes, Buddy Holly, Screaming Jay Hawkins, and the like. He asks Woody if he likes the old stuff.
I don’t, says Woody, but my Mom used to like to put on her old Devo records.
I’m so nostalgic for N64. I remember getting it for christmas. It was the most awesome gift I ever got. Endless hours playing with my brother and RENTING games! lol It will always be my favorite

I mean, we are on PS5 and that feels like it came out a while ago.
It’s also technology plateauing, a PS3 isn’t functionally very different than a PS5.
IMO it’s actually inferior since you got to play for online play
I dunno, I feel like I can still pick out PS3-era graphics. But the PS4 and PS5 are so similar that they still co-release games for both with only minor visual upgrades, so I agree with your overall point if not your example.
As a child of the eighties, it feels like post PS3 things totally stagnated but this is a couple of factors working together to create the illusion that there’s been no progress. First off we went from everything being 2d to everything being 3d in the course of a single console generation. There used to be huge and noticeable upgrades because models were getting so much more detail with every generation. There’s also the diminishing returns they’re getting on graphical enhancements; the leaps forward require massively more powerful hardware to render and most of the enhancement is in details and effects which aren’t as noticeable as doubling the polygon count of your models.
As somenone who grown up playing super nintendo, mega drive, N64 and Playstation One, everytime i see one of these memes, it make me remember than my knee hurt for a reason…
If it weren’t for that damn Switch, the 360 would be the newest console I own.
Here’s what’s just plugged in at the moment, and not in milk crates in the basement:
(Don’t @ me about my shitty cell phone picture I took in the dark. I’m not getting out the mirrorless and the studio lighting for this, plus this way the potato quality handily conceals the fact that I probably also need to vacuum that carpet.)
Honestly the only thing I as going to comment was the weight maximum on that shelving. Setup is great, would hate for you to lose something to fall damage because the shelving gave out.
I built that myself. Most of it is 3/4" ply. The shelves are side-screwed with 2-1/4" Spax screws, not resting on pegs (thus, also they can’t be moved). It’s not going anywhere.
I mean…I guess? I feel like there are better consoles from that general era +/- 5 years to choose from, but whatever floats their boat.
PS3 was great and had a lot of interesting and unique games.
Little Big Planet.
Just realised the narrator in Hey Duggee sounds the same.
Folklore was one of the best launch games. This was also when the first Uncharted was a launch game.
fun fact! the xbox 360 is as old now as the NES was when the 360 released 🙂
Feels like my OG 360 elite just red ringed yesterday. I still use one of the controllers for PC gaming.
I had to check. If you live in Japan, that was last year. In the US it was in 2025.
This is just unthinkable. I still haven’t accepted it.
How long before all the games are public domain?
love my wii u to bits, including the wii games i play on it that are older than me
Have you played Alley Cat?
