I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.
My parents made me sell my original Gameboy before they would get me a Game Gear. I miss the way it sounded!
I regnet selling my Atari Jaguar. My Brother and i only had 3 Games If i remember correctly. One was Alien vs Predator and it was a blast. We sold it to buy a PS1.
To date, I’ve never sold one. At times it makes me feel like a hoarder, but in all honesty I do semi-regularly go back and play my old systems.
Edit: and/or repair – my NES works again.
i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.
I still have all mine. But I never play them. I mess with emulators though.
One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.
I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.
I regret selling my SNES and all the games I had with it when I was a kid. I needed the money short term but have regretted selling it ever since. So many good childhood memories were had with that console. :(
My Atari 2600 with 80+ games. Only because I saw it sold for like $40k decades later lol.
Never personally sold any of my previously owned consoles, but I did “lose”* my Super Nintendo around 2001 and, sometime in 2011, my older brother messed up my PSone’s lid and it “disappeared” shortly afterwards.
* This loss was either my mom or aunt getting rid of it because "nobody is using it anymore, it's just wasting space and gathering dust". The same end my brother's CCE Turbo Game (a brazilian famiclone) had when I was even younger
Silver Gameboy advance SP - times were desperate, it ended up in a pawn shop.
Im sorry old friend
Ouch. I definitely understand that.
I still have a bunch of my original consoles: NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. The only I don’t still have are my PS1 (original, not the tiny One), N64, and Gamecube. PS upgraded to a PS2, and to be honest I never really played the N64 much. But the GC just kind of fell by the wayside and got lost. It had such amazingly unique games, but just was overlooked (even by me at the time) because it just didn’t match up graphically and didn’t really have the 1st or 3rd party support it needed.
I have kept most of my Nintendo systems, but I sold my GameCube and now I regret it.
Games are still playable on my Wii, but I would have modded the GC to load games from a sd card to make it more future proof, as the disk reading part is the most fragile.
Trading my Neo Geo AES and some AES games for a modded PSX. Both me and my friend that sold the AES to me are both kicking ourselves.
I made up for it by buying a 2 slot MVS board and consolizing it…and getting a 4 slot MVS cabinet ages later.
