I don't think people realize how many of these things there are.

There's the AtariBox/Atari VCS, which is a scam and doesn't actually work. They were supposed to be using Linux on their console but showcased Tempest 4K, a game that didn't even have a Linux Build. There was another picture where they were suspected of using an Xbox One with custom analog sticks.

Then there was the Retro VGS/Coleco Chameleon, which was a clone console using an FPGA, that had multiple fake prototypes, one of which was an SNES junior, the other being a random video capture card.

I also remember Commodore making phones that were rebranded overpriced chink phones, sold for 2.5 times the price.

To be fair, Nintendo has seen amazing success in releasing premium emulator boxes, however, people emulate those games. I don't know if anyone has ever emulated pong for reasons beyond why not. God I wish the emulator sites were still up, then I could see the actual numbers on the rom downloads.

Anon,I knew about it as an idea for a while but your post has made it truly set in that there are human beings out there that have never seen a numpad

Even with all the touchscreens around my brain somehow decided that since I (Being relatively a poorfag and not really needing a phone cause the fuck is a child gonna do with one if he never leaves the neighborhood for anything other than school) went through all the phones that family members didn't want anymore including a nokia 3310 and various flipphones before handling a touch screen,others surely would have gone through such a process,even if it was faster for them.

Thanks for the feeling of bottomless dread.

I tried to console myself by remembering that keyboards(such as the one I am using to type this) also have numpads but then realised that the new generation is being given laptops with smaller integrated keyboards or tablets instead

When I look at the games people are making on the Genesis and how they push the hardware to its limit, it makes me wonder.

OK, so one part is a touch screen (or touch pad?). Is the disc thing just 8 ways and digital? (I read the original Intellivision had 16 directions). Can you use it like a jog dial? It seems to have buttons on the side (original had 12 buttons where the touch screen is and 2 side-buttons on top and bottom).

>>15613151

>between 149 and 179 dollars

I was actually mildly positive about this only-2D thing until this point. Not everybody is super-passionate about video games, so I imagined it to be an OK impulse buy for some. Imagine your grandma buys one for somebody who already owns three more powerful consoles and he isn't super-sad because it's just 50 dollars. You can still appreciate the gesture. Or imagine buying one for a toddler knowing all games have an E-rating, and later the toddler smashes it, and you aren't even really mad because it was just 50. A thing with similar specs surely could be sold for 50, and it should never have a higher price than $99, this is a magical line for impulse buying. Surely (that is if they are even going to produce it), the price will drop.

First atari and now this piece of shit want to join the console market again. Who the fuck do they think will buy this? There's literally no market for these type of games anymore, no one is slobbering at the mouth for the next pong installment or whatever garbage ips these companies still have. I remember as a kid my dad got my sister and I one of those 20 dollar arcade stick TV adaptators that had shit like Pac Man and Galaca. Piece of shit broke after 3 weeks of like an hour a day play and frankly was boring as shit compared to its contemporaries. Looking at the screenshots of the conference is hilarious though; it's so sad, pathetic, and desperate that it's comical. I can't wait for the bankruptcy announcement later on, with this mutt CEO crying and asking why this shit idea failed, when again, there's absolutely no market or consumer audience that would want this pile of scrap.

Amico means friend in Italian, but it means jack fucking shit in Spiccish, you filthy fucking subhuman spic goblino mongrel. They aren't alternative spellings of the same word,they're different words altogether. The spic goblinspeak gibberish bastardized word amigo doesn't even sound like amico because the g is voiced. The c is voiceless in amico, you braindead fucking nimcompoop.

>>15613100

Latin has declension. You have to memorize a table of different ending for every single latin word. The nominative masculine singular form is amicus, the nominative dative singular form is amico. That's the one that prevailed when the case system collapsed and people said fuck it and started sticking to just one part of forms.

If you're clueless about cases, just think of English pronouns and their varying forms, like they vs them vs their, imagine that, but there are twice as many cases, and it applies to every single word in the language, not just pronouns, for all 3 genders, singular and plural; that's the classical latin case system. Modern languages derived from Latin other than Romanian no longer have a case system, except in pronouns like English.

d91af1  No.15622602

I have checked some reports and can now confirm it really is a touch screen on the controllers. There seems to be exactly one thing the design is good for. All sorts of board games and card games have that feature, but it's unusual for a console. The Dreamcast could do it, but only if you bought several VMUs (a sort of memory card with a screen and also buttons you could play extremely primitive games on). And those things stored very little, so I only got a third-party memory card with four times the storage and without a screen. The Gamecube could do it by linking the machine with GBAs, but this thing finally has the feature right out of the box. What I mean is local multiplayer with hidden information. (WiiU doesn't fully count here, because it could only use one screen for asymmetric multiplayer.)

If they change the price to something below $100 and learn what face buttons are, this has the potential to become mildly interesting.


d1ade9  No.15626023

I thought a lot about their concept today and came to the conclusion that the specs are too high. Consider the following:

A common disease among designers is that they make the text too small. This even applies to designers who are very intelligent about just anything else than this. How is grandma supposed to read that? If the screens on the pads had a resolution of just 96×64 (greyscale & backlight) while keeping the size, there would be a good technical limit to how small the letters could get. I also don't like having virtual buttons on a flat touch screen. If they stripped down the touch feature to just having 12 spots, they could put a (transparent) physical grid over the screen, so you could get a good intuitive feel where each button is.

Now consider that the console comes not with one pad, but two. This change could make the thing quite a bit cheaper.

I get the feeling most developers hate anyone who isn't in the 25-35 soy sipping demographic and will intentionally design things to alienate anyone outside that particular bracket.
