Not a fair comparison as the SNES/Famicom was fucking miles ahead technically.

 

I had one of these bad boys on mine

They are now duel bootable.

 

You can turn it on as a 'chipped' machine or totally legit.

i can only dream of being as good as you

 

encouraging theft is fine, i guess

My brother is after a retro console for Christmas, should I go with a Nintendo 64?

Thing about retro is they are never as good as you think you remember them to be

 

Happened with the atari, snes and n64, give it 10 years or so you can just tell it ain't as good

 

This even happened to sensible soccer when they brought that back via plug in tv job doings

 

Cant go back

So what console would you recommend for me...

 

Had a PS3 (used once) for years and a wii that used to be good post pub or on nights in with mrs Jules. Wii doesn't seem to work properly any more

 

Want a console for my "boy room"; something where I can just pick up the games and play half an hour here, an hour there, rather than hours of sat at it....not into GTA and war games and all that, just sports and platform games and that.

 

Please advise, I have no idea!

I fancy a PS4, not had a console for a couple of years,

 

Saw an alien game the other day looked good,

 

Is it a case if you've had a PS3 you'll stick Siny rather than Xbox?

Why not just stick with your PS3 then?

I just never used it

 

I only have 1 game for it

 

Can you still get 'em

Yep. Games still being released.

 

For how much you're gonna use it I'd stick with what you've got.

It's not just for proper gamers then?

xbox so you can beat me online at fifa

I just never used it

You can. I have one that i use just like you, every blue moon for about half an hour. Game and CEX you can pick up pre owned games for around a fiver.

 

That said, saw a PS4 with a basketball game on the other day and it looked ace. 

Not had a games console since ps2 years ago. Not a massive gamer but I've started working away a lot and it's something to do in the evenings. Been saying if treat myself to one for ages anyway the mrs bought me a ps4 for my birthday the other week. It's absolutely brilliant. Would recommend to anyone especially the new fifa.

Still got that in my loft.  Was brilliant back int day

Got an Xbox One today

 

Someone tell me what's decent from all these apps and things please?

Xbox fitness for the missus
