Nintendo's original video game consoles weren't always that great! The gameboy, DS and Switch and super nintendo certainly blew up, but some of their competitors like Sega, and Sony didn't do so well! These portable consoles were rejected because the market wanted something else!
The most powerful video games... in the palm of your hand!
Portable video game systems have been making that promise for decades.
Some of these systems came from industry giants, such as Nintendo, Sega, and Sony.
Others were attempts by other manufacturers to enter the lucrative gaming market.
But for every Game Boy, DS, or Switch, there have been numerous handheld systems that failed to gain ground in the market as they gathered dust on store shelves.
These systems may have suffered from subpar gameplay, economic downturns, or poor marketing.
Systems such as the Supaboy Portable SNES allowed players to play home console games on the go, but couldn't get players to take it home.
Other systems, like the Sega Nomad, couldn't use their cutting-edge technology to overcome bad timing.
In this video, we're going to look at ten portable video game systems that failed to capture the hearts - and wallets - of gamers.
