I am now competing with Square Enix for the most lengthy and confusing titles in the galaxy. They're still the odds on favorite, though. Anyway, last time on reTROview we discussed the lowest of the low, the trash tier. The proud denizens of the garbage included:
Sega Master System
Sega Saturn
PSP
PC Engine/Turbografx-16
Xbox
Wii
Wii U
Keep in mind that if your favorite console appears on the lower end of this tier list, it's not necessarily because it's a bad console. It's likely because I just don't know anything about it. Although, it could also be because it's a bad console. Our scoring system remains the same - each console gets 10 points for each perfect/iconic game, 5 points for each excellent game, and 1 point for each good game. For reference, the trash tier included systems ranging from 1 point to 16 points. Now we move into the next category...I'm pretty sure I should own this???
This is one of those situations where the hardware is just nicer than the software library. It had backwards compatibility, but not only was it backwards compatible, it also introduced color to your favorite Game Boy games! As a software library, though, I don't know much about it. It has several high fliers, though.
Game Boy Color (20 points):
Excellent games:
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Wario Land 3
Mario Golf
It's early. But not really that early. I haven't had a ton of time to play my PS5, and 80% of the time I do, I'm catching up on PS4 games, which seem to go on sale super cheaply constantly. Little collector's hint - don't buy anything new unless you want to play it immediately. Several years later it'll be for sale on Amazon for $19.99 and it'll be just as fun. It's a safe bet this one will sky up the rankings over the next decade, but I find it hard to see it beating the PS4.
PS5 (21 points):
Good games:
Astro's Playroom
Excellent games:
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
NBA 2K
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Hades
I play games on my mobile phone. I mostly do it because I always have it around, some of them are fun, and I'm bored. I don't know that I've played too many life-changing games on here.
Mobile Phones (32 points):
Good games:
Card Guardians
Luck Be a Landlord
Excellent games:
Candy Crush Soda Saga
Final Fantasy Record Keeper
Hearthstone
Pokemon Go
Terra Battle
And that's it! I can't stand to put the next system on this tier list in this tier, so we'll advance onward to the crowded Console Middle Class. See you soon!
