What’s the most worthless system or system add on ever made?

Nintendo DS Digital TV Tuner

The Nintendo DS Digital TV Tuner is a Nintendo DS accessory exclusively released in Japan in 2007. The accessory receives programs through a service called 1seg. The top screen of the Nintendo DS broadcasts the digital TV programs, while the bottom screen allows for navigation between programs...

Worthless and useless if you don’t live in Japan that is.

True, i'll agree to that. But I'm sure it could be modified.

You see this thing here? It's the Commodore C64GS. It's literally just a Commodore 64 with the keyboard stripped out. That's it. Every other system posted in this thread so far has more worth than this thing because they all at least have unique games to be played on them. This thing doesn't even have that.

This machine is the worst selling system of all time, at least in the US, with a rather pathetic 2,000 sales.

The C64GS was never sold in the US, it was a UK only product and yes, it only sold about 2000 units over there.

The only thing that needs to be said of the C64GS is that its pack-in game (Batman I think?) needed a keyboard key in order to start playing it... Oh yeah, the C64GS has no keyboard...

As useful as the powerglove but look even more ridiculous while doing it!

Also this thing from Tiger Electronics. Nice idea, terrible execution.

That reminded of a thing
The master system super compact

It was a tinier and wireless version of the master system that worked by sending radio signals from the antenna to the TV, apparently the game would freeze if you shaked the console too much.

But thats not all of it

BRAZIL HAD A EXCLUSIVE GIRLS EDITION

It was the same console but pink

Most worthless console? Hyperscan, it’s a hyperscam.


Most worthless add-on? This piece of shit:

The majority of the games the Kinect was used in didn’t work properly and made them near unplayable. Also the main reason why people hate motion controls to this very day. Also it makes you look like an idiot while playing it.

I remember being intrigued by this game below and thought that the kinect gimmick for it might actually pull through but nah, having to do something like pulling a lever felt uncontrollable. In fact, most kinect games, except for Just Dance, feel like total shit to play through.

Anyways, I wonder what everyone think of the WillU controller. It seemed pretty worthless but at least pretty usable.

Thats cool i like the pink one lol I had read recently that the Master system is STILL on sale in Brazil almost 40 years after it first released and i think thats pretty awesome!

Hyperscan is the worst the phisical lockout card system is straight aou of hell imagine if each game needed its own set of cards to play propely. Imagine the storage needed to store all of them.

I think kinect had the technology its just most companies created crappy cashgrabs.Kinect has some good games such as gunslinger, kinect joyride dance central micheal jackson experience. Absolutely love the gunslinger recommend everyone try it its highly overlooked with its creative setting but most games are just crap.

This junk. Even crappy for Tiger Electronics

The Atari Jaguar CD comes to mind. A failed add-on for an unpopular console, with infamous reliability issues.

It’s also a toilet.

My least liked consoles are the Atari Jaguar, the 3DO and CDi. I don't like any of their exlusives and any other game released on other platforms runs better/is more accessible to be played elsewhere.

The Speedboard for the NES, a rather pointless accessory.

I bought it for only 5 euros, and I use it every now and then for Michael Jackson The Experience or Skyrim (I love screaming "FUS RO DAH" alone in my room)

Seeing all these old add-ons reminds me that i miss old AVGN, and for me it was this crap, at least the wheel you had mario kart to dork around but this? heh

 

[pingugaming]

the game.com gotta be the most useless thing ever along with all the other plastic junk that tiger (and many others!) made

Agreed, i have this and a RE special edition one, i use the RE more since it allows you to remove the awkard rear part and hold your Wiimote as an Uzi, while using it is welcoming awkard holding the gun
