I liked this console more than everything else that was around at that time. I still have one, too... I just don't have the AV or power cables for it. 😩

Best graphics, very unique games for the library even though it didn't live very long at all, free online multiplayer, the VMU was just dope as shit being able to play games directly on it (not good games but as a kid that didn't matter lol), first system to do the speaker in the controller (technically it was on the VMU but the VMU plugged into the controller and provided sounds as well as a screen for certain menus functions)..

On the vmu, you could pick your plays on football games. So your cheating friend couldn't see what you were doing.

Sure beats the other method where I also don't know what I'm picking lol
