Which do you prefer? I prefer old school consoles for the following reasons:

1. Price
2. Portability (I'm talking like Gameboy color or Gameboy advance)
3. No Internet this was a huge deal for me. While I loved the GTS trade in the newer Pokémon games, I was not a fan of needing the internet in order to trade Pokémon

I feel you on that one. Those old school consoles had their own charm, we had no issues with the internet or updates every time. I still remember my Gameboy Advance, it was like gold back then.

I think the price can be debatable because it all depends on where you buy this stuff. I was lucky to get a. Gba for $89.99 on Amazon last November and I was able to get one of my gbcs at a local shop for cheap, but loads of places these things cost an arm and a leg

I may use both if I ever get a chance to use them. There was. Time when I used PlayStation One. I am not sure if it is still available in the market as of now. It had may games that I used to play as a kid. Modern consoles are also good as well. Modern games have great graphics.

I like slightly older consoles cause they're way cheaper and still fun. For instance, I've considered getting a Wii, Wii U, or Switch 1.

And even Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn are fun enough despite being more primitive.

I prefer retro consoles myself, but I do play some modern games. I still have all my consoles from when I was a kid and the Sega Genesis is my favorite console of all time.

My late wife had bought me a system where you could play retro games like Mario 3, Pac Man, stuff like that. I forgot the name, but it got confiscated after our rented house suffered a major disaster.
