A new episode of "The VGC Reviewer" is out now!

In this episode, Ashie talked about Sony's last hurrah into the handheld console market, as the PSVita failed to gain more sales in its later years. He also explains its microconsole counterpart.

It's just cheap, off the shelf components in a fancy shell. Like pretty much every other microconsole.

Forever regretting backing the OUYA. It was an Android-based microconsole that kinda sucked and then got abandoned.

A few cool games appeared on it though, fond memories of Towerfall, Bombsquad, and Hidden in Plain Sight (This one still makes for a great party game today, on our Switch)

Honestly, I want another, easy to port to microconsole. My stuff is def. more suited for that, lol

mail delivery! haven't seen one of these in a while 🤭

(my not-so-secret shame is that i properly started out my gamedev career on one of these so i wanted to check out the current homebrew scene and maybe jump back in)

Something that's been a dream of mine forever and would happen if I had the money + ingenuity/knowhow is release my own microconsole, even if it was just something for me and my buddies to release our nonsense on.

honestly, i'd kinda liked the *concept* of the ouya (even if the execution sucked), so suffice to say i'd be down for a new aosp microconsole

Looking forward to the weird fast food microconsole renaissance. I remember a line of Sonic ones from ages ago.

This has been bothering me too. Look at the Ouya or the Atari VCS. The idea behind the microconsole ecosystem is GENIUS... in theory. Simple Linux or Android boxes with low cost & barrier to entry for devs AND players. In execution, players would rather have $500+ powerhouses.

Every year we do a "Console Play", focusing on a dedicated microconsole or a console with an... abbreviated library.

Last year we were in the throes of moving into a new house and didn't do the series we intended, but this year we're seeing what exclusives are even still playable on the Wii U!

Our 2023 Console Play has finally begun!

...in 2024!

The Wii U was notoriously Nintendo's highest-profile flop, but what happened to the few exclusives stranded as the servers finally shut down?

Let's take a look, starting with Nintendo Land. This is the Ultimate Wii U!

This is a problem that could probably be solved partially if I got MiSTer FGPA but that is both expensive and takes more effort to set up than I'd find worthwhile for the time being, so usually when I play a shmup it's always something convenient and already on switch online or a microconsole I own

remember the Ouya?

I kinda miss the microconsole concept

it was neat

Pretty sure I'm the first person to buy a PlayStation TV in almost a decade. If anyone can prove me wrong, we can form a club together

Thats now 5 Bluetooth headsets, 2 from the "approved" list and none of them work properly with the @OnLive Microconsole :/

They all work on the PC Client though, just never the MicroConsole :/
