              SNES
Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL

"The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible." -> riots

...versus...

"The new console is backwards-compatible because it's an upgraded version of the old console." -> riots

You can be backwards compatible without just being a hardware revision. Look at the Wii, while it's definitely built on the GameCube, it has many more features

Every handheld console except for the DS

I'm sorry but it is quite literally a GBA with an additional touchscreen and an ARM9 processor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.

Fair enough, I have one and it is really ahead of the time

SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.

Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.

Also, what's with the personal attack?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Sorry, just frustrated to see the same assumption every generation, after ever generation sees massive change. In retrospect, it's probably new people making the same assumption, not the same people.

Do you really consider that to be a meaningful point worth "um, akshually"ing over?
