Amiga CD Casio Loopy. Appearing in , just before the PSP and Nintendo DS would usher in an exciting new era for the handheld gaming market, the phone company Nokia attempted to create their own device with the Nokia N-Gage.
The console combined a mobile phone and a handheld system, but was really ugly and had no standout games. When making a multipurpose device, it's important to make sure that the customer is satisfied with both functions of the product, and the N-Gage is lackluster on both ends. It did have a 2D version of Rayman 3 which looked nice and had solid platforming gameplay, but that particular version of the game was also available for the Game Boy Advance anyway.
Unfortunately, its games were more rudimentary than its then six-year-old competitor. Even its best game, Excite Invader , was just a worse version of Space Invaders flipped 90 degrees. The kicker, though, was the fact that the joystick was attached to the console itself, meaning that players had to game mere inches away from the TV screen. This baffling design choice paired with the limited and mediocre game library easily explains why the TV Boy never made it out of Japan.
Tiger Electronics was already infamous for their low effort game systems when the Gizmondo hit the scene in , but the sheer incompetence of the Gizmondo's release topped any other failures. Boasting a library of only 14 titles, the console failed mainly due to a lack of flagship games to push sales, as well as the stiff competition it faced from the DS and PSP.
It sold less than 25, units, and was labeled by GamePro as the worst selling console ever. It's a shame, because its best game, Point of Destruction , is a fun and unique space shooter that might've found an audience on a more successful platform.
Most PlayStation 5 scalpers don't even have the nerve to charge that much. Most of the console's variations also only have one controller port, as they expect the player to connect controllers to one another to play multiplayer. The console's best game is Brain Dead 13, an interactive movie game similar to Dragon's Lair and created by ReadySoft. It's a lighthearted good time, with plenty of unique and comical death scenes to keep players coming back— but it was also released for PC as well as ported to other, more successful consoles.
Another console that failed due to being too expensive, the 3DO released in to a surprising initial critical acclaim. Gex , which is a decent game, but didn't end up being exclusive to the platform for even a full year.
The 3DO was simply too mediocre to compete in the thriving video game market. Get top deals, latest trends, and more. Email address. Sign up. About Target Careers. Email Signup. Target Brands.
