We all know the N-Gage is terrible, as is the N-Gage QD, but do you own it? And are there any other terrible handheld or generally failed consoles that you own or have played for even the briefest moments of time?

I once played on a Nintendo GameCube.
And you're a philistine, don't forget that one.
But it is a failure. When it came out, I remember all the Nintendo fans saying it would dwarf the PS2's sales and I think Nintendo themselves even said they hoped it would beat the PS2, when five times as many PS2's have been sold. If that's not failure, what is?
The operative word, it's sales relative to the PS2 make it a relative failure, but considering the money made, in absolute terms it's a success. If it was a failure, why would companies and Nintendo keep releasing new games for it? Games that just keep getting bought.Originally Posted by Psychotic
NiGHTS on the Saturn. And I played a little Virtual Boy. I don't think I ever bought a failure of a system, though, unless the N64 counts.
I own a Dreamcast, reguardless how much it failed I still love it.
I own a Sega Mega-CD, aka Sega CD.
Some good games on that console. The CD version of Ecco the Dolphin still rates as one of my all-time favourite games.
The system also had the best 16-bit FMV; some games were entirely FMV, some even used live-action.
N-Gage QD sucks I couldn't turn it on and my friend accidently called someone on it. I have no failure systems though.
- Sega CD (Sewer Shark, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Ecco the Dolphin 2: The Tides of Time)
- Sega 32X (Chaotix)
- Virtual Boy (Mario Clash, Mario's Tennis, Teleroboxer, Virtual Boy Wario Land: Treasure of the Awazon)
And they all sucked.Originally Posted by Big D
I played a virtual boy once, mario tennis. Too much red!
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
Virtual Boys gave me a headache, but I did like playing that Mario Brothers game.
I remember playing a Sega Game Gear. I don't recall that being a short-lived failure though.
