@GameMasterGuy: It's not a fair argument since Nintendo had an illegal monopoly over 3rd party companies during the days of the SMS which explains the difference in the number of games that was released for the platforms. It took Sega to break that hold and gratefully so. You're making yourself sound biased as well. SMS isn't "meh" to everyone. Also, you said with the Super Game Boy, there is an improvement by the means of color. Face it, it's still monochrome. A color and/or shades of one particular color. Also, it's not a "console" it's a handheld.

Also, it's doesn't make sense that you use the word "kiddies", unless you're referring to the audience Nintendo caters to. cwutididthar

MBC: $35, plays games from a meh console with no improvements.
SGB: $10, plays games from an amazing console with the improvement of color.
Now kiddies, which do you want?
MBC, please.

I just find it funny that a 17 year old would use the word "kiddies" to describe people here where the average age is closer to 30.

It was meant to make it sound like the answer was so obvious a four year old could figure it out.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

This guy is 17? Glad I caught the tail end of the 80's.

There's nothing wrong with being 17 per se - hey, that a teenager can appreciate retro games is already a huge +1 in my opinion. Just found the appellation funny.

Yeah, I'm just teasing. A lot of them are misinformed though. I've seen youtube videos with horrendous amounts of factual errors. At least they don't chuck out retro games like most people.

Most of us do. I only know one other retro gamer my age in real life, and he just pirates everything.

Hey, you suck! But I'm kidding, see, I don't really mean your console is an inferior choice for inferior intelects!
