Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.
Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.
you would assume it wouldn’t have taken the industry so long to learn from consoles like this, but they repeated it again with the ps3, and probably other consoles im not aware of.
