Remember the multimedia consoles?

Remember when everything was about multimedia? Why didn't it save 3DO, Jaguar and CD-i?

MCTJim3780d ago

It was a great medium for games...just not video...Plus the 3DO was too expensive at the time, The CD-i had no games even if they were in a deal with Nintendo it was too late and atari was already in pieces.

But I must confess, I bought the Sega CD and many of the games....including the same ones with the 32x add on.

I loved the Sonic game with the Sega CD...best Sonic game ever.

Yes, CD-ROMs were great for proper games, but they chose to overuse FMVs. The next part of the article will cover that ;)

Do I remember?

Let's see.....

" I wonder what's for Dinner?"
" Oh no I'm melting!!!!" "Good"
" I can't wait to bomb some dodongos"
" All toasters toast toast"
" I won!!"
" These are the faces of evil. You must conquer each"
" Hmm not enough rupees"

Yeah I kind of do.

Oh and there's this game....

That was one of the most messed up games that I ever had the misfortune to experience.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.

I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
