I will always be greatful for my 3DS. My childhood dog was terrified of cameras, and would literally flee if you tried to take his picture. I have no idea why, he was already a few years old when we got him. I ended up getting a 3DS a few months before he passed, and he was very used to seeing me playing my original DS, so I was able to actually take pictures of him. It's basically the only pictures I have of him. He was such a good boy.

I loved my 3DS for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (I see you, Square Enix...Kingdom Hearts 3D, lol). I have no idea why, but seeing the opening and hearing the orchestral version of Simple and Clean just always made me cry 😂. I found it very beautiful and I'm a sap for Simple and Clean as it usially means the end of an adventure (yes, I used to be *deep* into KH. Not so much anymore, growing up and all that). I didn't use the 3D function all the time (I wear glasses so it could sometimes add just one more glare-like thing I have to contend with...though I do like 3D movies), but I didn't mind the feature.

The Kinect had an additional complicating factor, in that it was the first time a console was actively pushing always-online requirements. Not only did the console require you to accept a camera in your living room, it was going to be connected to the internet at all times. Making matters even worse (at least for US audiences), the announcement came the same freaking week as a series of leaks regarding government surveillance within the US. All of a sudden, privacy was THE topic on everyone's minds, and Microsoft dropped their announcement of this mandatory always-online camera right into the middle of that climate. If I had to point to a single factor that contributed to the Xbox One losing so much market share to the PS4 (beyond the PS4 being much easier to develop for than the PS3 was and getting a larger library than the PS3 as a result), that would be it, and Microsoft's console division still hasn't really made up that loss.

Video game systems far outsold standalone video players, allowing Sony's Blu-Ray to achieve far greater market penetration than HD-DVD. The XBox One had a Blu-Ray drive built in if I remember correctly, so Blu-Ray wasn't the reason the PS4 did better, though it certainly may have helped PS3 sales as it would give you a Video Game system and Video Player in one.

The zapper gun was awesome. It's only real problem was that it wasn't designed for television sets built years after the zapper was discontinued. New TVs refresh way too fast. The way the thing worked was that after the trigger was pulled, the screen would go black for one screen to make sure the player wasn't cheating. Then a white square was placed where the target is. If the gun detects the white square, it registers a hit. If not, it registers a miss. Unfortunately, this requires precise timing and was calibrated for 1980s television sets which refreshed at a slower rate than later sets.

A rather interesting example of toys to life was Disney’s Playmation. The cool part is that it wasn’t exactly a video game; you would wear an Iron Man-inspired blaster and set up “activator pads” around your room. The pads would either be left blank to be used as standard enemies or you could attach a figure to have heroes to team up with or stronger villains to fight. The wearable had a speaker so all the game directions and character voices would come from there; you’d use the different weapons on your blaster to fight enemies, though you’d also have to do things like walk around, scan the area, take cover behind a wall, jump to dodge, etc. It was a ton of fun for younger me and I’m still upset they discontinued it so early. They only released the Iron Man and Hulk wearables, though there were plans for more Marvel ones along with Star Wars and Disney ones (I believe a Luke Skywalker lightsaber and Elsa gloves were announced?). Anyway, it was a super unique and fun game and I’m happy that I still have all my Playmation stuff

There is some big irony in the 3DS' 3D capability. I loved it as a kid, but when I bought the New3DS, it was absolutely atrocious and unusable because it expected my face to be away from the screen to facetrack correctly...you know, the tiny ducking screen that you need to be right infront of to see everything? I turned it off asap after it kept misbehaving because I did not know you could swap to the "worse" legacy 3D. Years later, I learned that fact and tried to use it again, but by then, my eyes were already no longer used to the 3D visuals and the game I was playing at the time required full concentration(Metroid Samus Returns), so I kept it disabled and sadly never looked back. I sorta wish the 3D returned for the Switch, because I loved the gimmick back then and the Switch has a larger screen in handheld, which would be easier on someone's eyes already.

I’m surprised #5 didn’t bring up the 5000 peripheral media FFXV has. Like, yeah that’s probably hypocritical coming from my ass with a FFVII Compilation avatar, but like. XV’s was intentional out the gate, VII’s at least took its time over decades lol. I love XV so far (working through story atm instead of XVI haha), but I still need to tackle Kingsglaive and the anime prequel too. OTL;;

Here in Germany smell discs were used on Kids Point & Click games. I had some. Not a bad gimmick

They could have used the psvr gun for light gun games as well but guess they never thought to try that.

The kinect 2 camera was awesome. The poors and tin hat parade not wanting to pay for it was the problem.

The power glove was good for what it was, an advanced controller that was about 9 generations early

The PlayStation Move should be on the list. Initial reviews were better than the Kinect but not many people bought one and Sony barely promoted it.

3D on the PS3 was awesome, and claiming the 3DS bombing is ludicrous.

Sniffable discs were genius and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

And now Kinect 2.0 is a well sought after device for full body VR enthusiasts… wouldn’t say it bombed it was just released at the wrong time 😅

I still believe that Tony Hawk Ride could have been fun if it were simply a downhill racing game. The turning actually worked fairly well, it was just trying to do any tricks that sucked.

The NES actually had a few terrible peripherals besides the power glove. There was the NES R.O.B. which never functioned the way you'd want it to. There was the Power Pad for Track and Field which worked kind of like a DDR pad. The NES Laser Scope which looked like a helicopter fighter pilot headset but didn't really work. That trend continued into SNES peripherals as well with things like the Super Scope.

It’s a shame they didn’t hold off on trying these things, I imagine had they waited until the tech was actually viable on some of these, they’d have won the console wars. The laser scope in 1991: too good to be true The laser scope in 2023: “how do we NOT have this by now”

I love that the Kinnect raised privacy concerns back then and now people buy all sorts of units that are knowingly recording every single thing you say or do. That's not a defense of the Kinnect or Alexa, just funny how people are now BUYING privacy invasion and weren't cool with it when it came with the device. Also, how did the power glove reach number 1 when it sold well? It was bad, yes. But you featured a product that failed so hard it destroyed a company that was making quality games for ages, or the kinnect that failed hard, twice and nearly sunk the console along with the DRM

I normally don’t comment on here but in regards to Skylanders…you can’t say the peripherals bombed when it sold 3 billion in 4 years…
