It's a shame.

So, I got a Neo Geo Pocket Color today, along with Pac-Man because it was cheap and I was always looking for one.

There aren't many games for it, the system came out in 1999 and was discontinued in 2000 after SNK was acquired by some pachinko company. D:

Now I just need to find Metal Slug and Sonic Pocket Adventure...

Anyway, what's your favorite electronic commercial failure? I personally like the GCN and the Dreamcast, but the Virtual Boy also gets a nod for having decent games.

Share the rares.

GCN is a failure? It sold 21 million last time I checked. Virtual Boy is win.

I liked the Virtual Boy.

Nayrman · August 21, 2008, 05:32:17 PM

You serious? I had one! It broke about 2 years after I got it though XD
I had Sonic Pocket Adventure (Its basically a Sonic 2 port with no Tails) and "King of Fighters" (God DAMN CHEAP BASTARD WITH THE FIRE POWERS!). It was very meh system.
Lol virtual boy.
We can't forget the Sega Master System XD

GCN's SA2:B commercials were horrible.

No way, get your own. >:

I might get a Game.com next.

21 million compared to 30 and 102 million respectively isn't that impressive. The Dreamcast sold half of what the GCN sold in it's entire lifetime in two years.

It would have been better if it lasted longer. Its port of Pac-Man is the best I have ever played, and Metal Slug and Capcom Vs. SNK: Millennium Fight are just plain awesome.

The Virtual Boy really isn't THAT bad. There's not really a bad game in it's library except for Waterworld, even if most, if not all of them could have been done on Gameboy.

The Master System is great too. Alex Kidd certainly is fun to play.

It wasn't horrendous, but just a pain to use in general. Sorry, but the Genesis blows the Master System out of hte water.
I'd have to say the biggest gaming flop was the Phantom XD

When the hell did Xbox reach 30? Last I heard it was at 21 million.

Riosan · August 21, 2008, 05:54:02 PM

Dreamcast.

Lotos · August 21, 2008, 05:54:11 PM

I can say that Gamecube was a failure, COMPARED to the other systems of that gen (except Dreamcast).

Sega really didn't even try with the Master System.

Yeah, it would have been bad, but something that was even worse was released. The N-Gage.

When it came out, I would see store managers kind of mad because they had to cut into the GBA department to make room for the N-Gage, and when they didn't sell, they got mad.

Oh, it was 25 million, my mistake.

I don't remember the N-Gage cutting into the GBA department in Toys R Us back in the day...

Hell, my Gamespot didn't even bother having a display other than a few row saying "NGage, we have it if you want to waste your money"

I don't even think my Gamestop had shelf space for it, they had the games behind the counter. :D

I remember I played some Tony Hawk game on the N-Gage at an in store demo. It looked exactly like a GBA game, so I said, "What's the point?"
