Re: Anyone ever have a neglected system in thier household?
To add on to my previous post my Dreamcast is rarely used but with Pier Solar coming out if I have the cash I may need to buy that and a VGA monitor. That would get my DC some use again!
Re: Anyone ever have a neglected system in thier household?
My Wii hasn't been getting much love lately. Still some games I want to play on it, but I've been focusing on a bunch of other stuff, so haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully I can set aside some time for Chocobo's Dungeon at some point.

My Wii is my new GCN player now, since the U plays Wii games. It still has a purpose, just a reduced one.

My wii is not getting any love from me or the kids. The only reason why i play it is just for gamecube. A friend at work is selling me his cube with 8 games 4 controllers zelda windwaker and metroid prime and smash bros are the 3 out of 7. he asked for 25.00 and i told him i would do 40.00. It was the right move to do. I wont rob him. 40 is good between two friends

If I was going to use a Wii U for Wii games I'd probably ditch the Wii altogether. No real point in using it for Gamecube games, an actual Gamecube works far better for that situation.

Yes, but I don't want to plop down $100 for the actual Gamecube component cables.

Yeah, but a Wii component cable is much cheaper.
Re: Anyone ever have a neglected system in thier household?
My SMS and Saturn have been pretty neglected, I dont have many games for either so I never really play, I really wanna get more Saturn games but they`re pretty expensive!
Re: Anyone ever have a neglected system in thier household?
My Vectrex that I got largely for display purposes anyways, I guess?
My CDX and 32x, as well as my OXBox, and a few other systems do live in storage, but even to just play Genesis games (I don't have a regular genesis currently) I take the CDX out once every month or two. The OXBox I own solely so that I can play games that are emulatable anyways (Capcom collections, SVC Chaos, SamSho5, plus a few others) so that almost never sees the light of day. Too bad, too, I really like the controllers.
Otherwise my 360 gets massive play compared to everything else, just due to having NHL 13 and Assassin's Creed. The Wii gets frequent play, but mostly by my wife (I do need to go back and finish Skyward Sword, though...) and my Dreamcast and PS2 are set up and get played a few times a month.
My handhelds get largely ignored, I guess? I only have like 5 games for the DS. I've got a bunch of NGPC games but I live in BC, so it's always overcast and I can never actually see what's on the screen. I really need to mod it with a backlight but I am not confident enough in my skills to do it, really...

My Wii and PS3 are hardly touched by me.
