Re: Hardware Review: Believe The Hype, Polymega Is The Ultimate All-In-One Retro Machine

LOL
Emulating debates. 🤣
I simply just buy the actual machines with cheaper price from 2nd handed market despite i will have a lot bulky things in my house, but it's okay for me.
I have PS2 Slim Japan + PS2 Fat USA so i can play 4 different PS1 & PS2 games by 2 machines. Add with my PS3 Slim Asia only for playing certain PS1 Japan games because PS3 was not a right machine to play DDR PS1 as the arrows move faster than the actual song, it completely ruined my timing.

Actually, i found tons of niche games from handhelds (NDS, 3DS, Switch).
Let's say some NDS games l played such as Cooking Mama games, Kurikin Nano Island Story, Kirei Zukin Seikatsu 2, Minna no Convenni, Minna no Suizokukan, Minna no Doubutsuen, Imagine Resort Owner, Animal Boxing, MySims Agents, MySims Party, etc.

3DS niche games i played such as Style Savvy Fashion Forward, Disney Magical World 2, Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers, AKB48 + Me, Yokai Watch Blasters White Dog Squad, Metroid Prime Federation Force, Miitopia, Tomodachi Life, etc.

I have interest with a few mainstream franchises too such as Mario, Pokemon, Disney, Doraemon, Animal Crossing New Leaf, but i'm not a fan of Zelda, Splatoon, Smash Bros, Metroid (I only played Federation Force as exceptional), Star Fox, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Monster Hunter, Xenoblade, Angry Bird, Fortnite, Plant vs Zombie, Tekken, Spiderman, Marvel Heroes, Transformer, etc (too many)

My PS4 Slim White is all about my Holy Trinity : Dragon Quest Builders 2, The Sims 4 & Portal Knights. My PS4 games library (newest update) will likely Double dip games from Switch version.

I have PS2 too and my PS2 games are dominated by Konami's Rhythm games such as Dance Dance Revolution, Para Para Paradise, Guitar Freaks & Drummania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Keyboard Mania.
Also, kickboxing games K-1, Monster Farm 4, Bomberman Battles, Bomberman Land 3, etc

I don't need to experience with every Exclusives from each consoles.
I play the games very differently, unlike typical mainstream adult male gamers.
I don't play what is usually mainstream gamers play.
I play a lot of niches, unpopular games, hidden gems, quirky games, the games that mainstream gamers will never think about.

Mainstream gamers will think about Zelda, Castlevania, Sonic, Megaman, Monster Hunter, FIFA, NBA, PES , Fortnite, etc.
But me as Anti-Mainstream gamer will think about Cooking Mama, Dance Dance Revolution, Para Para Paradise, K-1World GP, Tomodachi Life, Miitopia, ARMS, LABO, Style Savvy, Other Fashion games, AKB48 + Me, The Sims, Portal Knights, Youtuber Life OMG edition, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles, etc.
Can you see if my gaming references are mostly totally opposite with mainstream gamers ?

The only SEGA games i have played just only Puyo Puyo Tetris Switch and MaiMai Arcade.

Even for MaiMai Arcade, i still have a lot of songs i don't like due too edgy, too mature (Toho Project songs with bloody lyrics such as sweet little sister, SEGA fanservice games with stripper looking girls as the cover, SEGA rated M games). I only play certain songs from MaiMai Arcade since my biggest hype on Dance Dance Revolution by Konami with more appealing songs than SEGA.

Other SEGA games i will consider are Olympic 2020 , Mario & Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympic games & Two Points Hospital. Just only those games.

Oh, forgot. I have considered Billy the Hatcher Gamecube on my shopping list and i will try to get that game when i have right time to buy since that game now is very hard to find on Ebay (The USA version since i play Gamecube games from my Wii USA)

When i saw the game lists from SEGA machines, especially from older eras (Genesis, SEGA Saturn, Dreamcast), None of them were impressed me. The game choices were too much dominated by shooters, JRPG with less appealing impression, too much action games, something completely different with Nintendo machines.

SEGA had tried too be edgy by provided more mature games but Nintendo had provided more appealing games from kids until adults.
The game library from SEGA is appealing for typical hardcore / mainstream adult male gamers, but for me as an Anti-Mainstream and Kiddie gamer, the game library from SEGA will never appealing me since i DO NOT play or have any interest with kind of games like that.

What games i'm looking for ?
Something Cute, Colorful, Kiddie, Unique, Quirky, Whimsical, Cartoonish, Chibi looking, Less actions, Designing oriented, Girlie, Out of the Box, No rated M, Not so popular, and still many criterias i cannot explain all.

I oftenly looking for the games that i have never heard or knew before, especially out of the Direct, i found them oftenly from playasia preorder, i saw some games that i have never knew before and some of them are Not popular titles, not the games that mainstream gamers looking for such as Link's Awakening, Astral Chain, Zelda BOTW, Daemon x Machina, etc.

Why did i look for the Unpopular games?
Because some of them somehow impressed me from the First impression when i have figured it out from their trailer or the screenshots and recognized the genre. Will they become GOTY ? Definetely not and i don't care since i'm looking for games that really matched with my criteria since from first impression, not looking for popular games that played by million peoples.

Am i looking for popular games ?
Depend on the titles.
There are some games i played such as Pokemon games (X/Y, Sun/Moon, ORAS, etc), Animal Crossing New Leaf, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, etc. But, i still have tendency to play more with not so popular games than the popular one.

Popularity is kinda ambiguous. Sometimes there are popular things but only certain peoples like, other peoples never consider any of them. I have interest with those different popular things, oftenly it called niche things by mainstream peoples. That's fine for me, i don't care with their judgement.

Re: Feature: Your Beloved Games Console Is Slowly But Surely Dying

Anti-Matter

One thing to be remembered to All gamers, NOTHING is Eternal in this world including video games.
Your video game machines and the softwares eventually can rotten away (Depend on your treatment) no matter how hard you try to preserve them.
And beside... You cannot bring them into your graveyard when you have passed away nor even bring them to after life world.
My advice, take care your games as you can and don't cry too much for them when they are dying by the time it comes. Say thank you to your games for accompany you while they were still able to be played and try to move on from your grief feeling after you lost your video games function. Just let them go and you can continue your life without any sorrow and guilty feeling.

"I just don't see the appeal of collections, and especially displaying them."

Different peoples, different mindset.
I bought my games that just Only i want to play / i have interest about, not all the games i want to buy (it will wasting money).
I like to display them neatly because i want to see my collection organized very well, like art installation. Even though i have ever finished the games, i still keep them because i can replay them whenever i want. I consider my games are part of family members, nobody got left behind or forgotten.

"I have a friend who is really into collecting movies and TV shows on physical media. His wife is pregnant, and he keeps going on about how he's going to have his kid watch all the things he watched as a kid instead of today's 'modern trash'. I'm sure there are people out there that plan to do this with their game collection too. Don't do this. Can you imagine if your parents had never let you discover those games and tv shows you enjoyed as a kid, but instead made you do the same as they'd done when they were children?"

If he collected games & movies that still appropriate for kids, then why not ?
If he knew the bad effect of "modern trash" shows, he could direct his kids to enjoy video games / movies that suitable for their age.
