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 sold my Day 1 PS Vita a long time ago and I'm still pretty sad about that, it's not the same mind you.

But I have managed to hold onto pretty much every other game console I've ever owned.

Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS...

Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.

I've repurchased the consoles I had when I was a kid over the past year.

I ain't getting rid of my PSX.

Not retro, but I sold my Nintendo DS, and copy of Platinum and Heart Gold for like $30 in high school. Probably got McDonald's with the money. I regret it so much.

I still have all mine. But I never play them. I mess with emulators though.

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.

I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.

I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.

I regret getting rid of my Wii, only because that’s the one I’m missing to complete my Nintendo home console collection. I had initially sold it because the Wii U played Wii games, but it would be nice to have it back for a complete set.

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.

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 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.
