favorite console color variants

donrumata

Lately I’ve been on a Vita kick again (thanks in no small part to the excellent GTA ports) and I’ve been aggressively stopping myself from buying the aqua blue Vita because I already own too many Vitas. That thing is gorgeous though.

EDIT: Oh also the Hitbit MSXs are amazing.

donrumata The industrial design for those MSX variants is incredible! I wish there was a little bit of (or a lot of, frankly) that DNA in modern console designs (looking squarely at you, Sony).

The Vita redesign was indeed beautiful…I was a little less successful in holding myself back from indulging though, for better or worse

connrrr

Dunkr I was wracking my brain trying to find the one I had on google, and it turned out it wasn’t a Sony at all!! It was this weird thing that my grandma gave me after her trip to Australia (??):

Also mdr is French for lol

kory Even though I should be contented by my 3G Vita with PSVSD, that neon orange slim is right up my alley and I may one day have to grab one.

Big-ol-dumbo That one looks especially great with the hanafuda plates:

This Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time DSi arrived today: It was bought mostly as a practical replacement for my now rather battered plain white DSi but I do like the design (and Crystal Chronicles style in general) very much.

Can I ask if you got it on eBay or elsewhere? I am actually in the market for a new/like-new DSi and the global situation makes it harder to examine touchscreens in person.

Just scanned the whole thread to make sure I’m not doubling up on this joke…

kory

antillese tangentially related to this, I recently realized that Zoom recognizes my HDMI capture device as a valid video source and demonstrated that I can, in fact, use my GB camera via a Super Game Boy via an Analogue Super NT as a teleconferencing camera. I have yet to put this knowledge to practical use, but I am not ruling out the possibility…

Jax last march right before that thing we’re still dealing with started popping off in the states i was at my local game shop and they had one of that metal slime 3ds consoles and i was so close to buying it and i’m still regretting it a year later. thinkin about grabbing one of the metal slime vitas off the internet at some point though, i love the slime on the dpad

I unfortunately just rediscovered the Toys R Us Japanese Saturn and now I have to be sad I don’t own one. I mean it’s just got a sonic decal on it! But!!!!!!!!

Kimimi

Syzygy Sure! I bought it from GenkiVideoGames: Here’s the link

tapevulture

man i loved this thing. it remains THE way to play suikoden on PS1

fred durst confirms he has never used another controller to play suikoden on PS1

kory

tapevulture ooh, I had that one—I specifically remember defiantly continuing to use it with my PS2 despite not having those dubious pressure sensitive buttons

fridgeboy

tapevulture oh god that’s hot

Dunkr oh god that’s hot

Dunkr It’s a bit rough as I’m trying Affinty Photo for the first time instead of Photoshop. Could be a fun 3d modelling project for someone.

kory

Dunkr that’s amazing! I did a double take when I scrolled past because it looked so convincing. It reminds me of some of the work Dana Sibera has done on Twitter—lots of fantastic fantastical electronics.

exodus

Dunkr yeahhhh I’d drive that!
My only criticism is it’s not quite busy enough! Needs some words about high definition power and polygons and stuff on the lid maybe?

Not usually into the retro-themed skins, but love the coloring on the Famicom GBA Micro

fridgeboy

AdventNick I posted a while back in another thread that I got one of these as the very first present I ever gave my spouse (then girlfriend). It is a handsome little fellah.

kory

AdventNick I love the design of that gb micro, especially the fact that it’s metal! I’m so glad I managed to get one right at the end of the console’s life on a firesale, but I personally found the screen a bit small for me (I was trying to play ffiv on it at the time, so that’s mostly my fault!)

AdventNick

fridgeboy I was in the Osaka Super Potato when I spotted one of these for $180. Kicking myself for not picking it up back then, seeing as they’re def worth way more!
