...wow... just wow.........

Glad you like it.

it is an old and fairly rare/unknown system... Fairly...

Yep. It just didn't do really well against Sega and Nintendo. It was overlooked as a system. Not so much in the arcades though.

And Sega couldn't recover after the cluster fuck of the Saturn and 32x in the same generation... Dreamcast was good, but not good enough to carry them to the 7th gen.
Nintendo, on the other hand, has survived quite well up to the 8th generation (or 8.5 because Switch, ps4 pro and xbone s) with a few flops (Virtual Boy, Wii U, N64 controller) and some successes(Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Wii, Gamecube, N64, NES, SNES, Game Boy (color, advance, etc...) DS, Switch, Crossplay)...ok a METRIC FUCKING ASSTON of successes, but still... they're alive and well. With Kanto remakes coming out in time for the holidays, the PS4 might not be so far up soon...

Very true. Though I am really annoyed at Nintendo for what seems like going backwards with the switch. I mean I don't see the reason to use essentially small cartridges vs. CD's to play games. And not having the ability to play DVD's like the PS4 and Xbox One.

Well, have you tried to watch a DVD or Blu-Ray on a bumpy car ride? Due to the Switch's home/portable form factor, discs could easily get scratched(like the screen SHOTS FIRED) while carrying, ergo carts make for a better decision. Also, carts are easier to keep in small areas than discs. This also explains (physical) media playback on the Switch. Digital, IDK, WHY IS THERE NO NETFLIX/CRUNCHYROLL/VUDU?????????????? Yet official disc playback on Wii and WiiU is unexplained yet can be homebrewed in.

True. But isn't that what the 3DS is for. Portable gaming. To me, the Switch is a home console that yes is still portable. Nintendo should have at least implemented a DVD player into the charging base. I mean they did it with the Panasonic Q (Gamecube in Japan) but never released it in the USA.

I... can't justify the lack of a disc drive in the base...other than possibly allowing for more USB ports or "easier" for 3rd parties (yet the Switch's power regulation is off the balls horrible.......... WHY NOT JUST USE USB-C POWER STANDARDS?????????????????)... IDK

Maybe they plan on killing the 3ds and merging their portable and home lines? IDK, I don't work for Nintendo

Maybe. I'm not mad or anything. No worries.

Ok, just furthering the discussion with my knowledge, and as for that USB comment, you can use a hub, but it's slower due to having to send all the signals one at a time and alternating between the USB ports. USB-C only has so many datelines, after all...

lots of these games are ones I have not yet seen at garage/yard sales EVER!!

I think some are Japan releases.

could be
I just got something today & it in my Scraps

Ok
