Cracked Picks The Six Most ‘Retarded’ Consoles

You may not agree with Cracked’s word choices to describe these lame duck consoles, but it’s hard to argue with their picks. I mean, the Supergrafx is on the list—and it had five games. Five!

But we could take issue with the inclusion of nifty little Vectrex, the vector graphics-only console released in 1982. If we were making the list, we’d put the idiotic, headache-inducing Virtual Boy in its place, but maybe that’s too obvious of a choice. This is why we’re so bad at lists!

If you want to feel good about your console purchases, it’s an uplifting read.

Wii Virtual Console Adds Another Console

Unfortunately, it’s the NEC SuperGrafx, a souped up version of the PC Engine (nee TurboGrafx-16) that was never released outside of Japan and has a meager seven titles in its library. Even less exciting is that the first SuperGrafx release is Daimakaimura, known as Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts on these shores. That particular title has been available on Japan’s Virtual Console service in its Genesis form since July of last year — and for 200 yen less!

But hey, at least things are expanding. Any chance we can start getting some Game Boy Advance games from the VC? Pretty please?
