    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.

    Yes and no. I had a modded Sega Saturn with a ram cartridge that I traded in to afford a Dreamcast when it came out. I love the Dreamcast so it wasn’t a bad trade, but I do wish I still had the Saturn too.

    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.

    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 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.

    I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.

    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 returned a Gameboy Micro. I really want one now and I could have just kept mine from back then

    I regret selling my SNES and all the games I had with it when I was a kid. I needed the money short term but have regretted selling it ever since. So many good childhood memories were had with that console. :(

    Also Dreamcast but for a different reason than most. I learned it played burned games by default 10 minutes after I sold it.

    Super Nintendo - I was in my mid teens and my mother coerced me into giving my Super Nintendo into my cousin, but I have regretted it ever since.

    Coincidentally, Super Mario RPG remake is coming out in November and will probably make me feel fine again!

    When I was young my brother wanted to trade in our crystal xbox for money towards an Elite 360.

    I made a stink about it because I didn’t want to upgrade at the time, and I even ended up setting it up in the attic to try and avoid having it sold.

    In the end Dad did end up trading it in… for 20p (good riddance to physical game shops).

    Ended up getting my own crystal xbox as an adult, and I did end up playing Halo 3 ODST’s multilayer disc religiously. Still, for 20p Dad?!

      I hear your pain. Game shops have always been rip offs with trade ins, and 20p? Can’t even get a chocolate bar with that… My biggest regret was getting rid of the Gameboy camera and printer combo. Picked it up in the early 2000s for about £3 and didn’t keep it. Even came with the paper included
