When I saw the Wii U was getting a thread on a retro board before anything older than the NES, I changed my mind about not making OTs and did an Intellivision one. šŸ˜‰ ---

Open call for someone to replace my Sega CD thread. Didnā€™t have time in the last couple days to do anything on the Wii U thread btw. ---

Any chance we can get some sort of template for console OTā€™s? Some of the OTā€™s are really useful, contain lots of good information for collectors / fans, and have links to great resources that can otherwise be hard to find. Others are bloated with images and game screenshots and lack any real depth. I assume that most users going into the threads are already aware of the basics and are looking for some meaty info, but maybe iā€™m wrong. ---

Donā€™t use the N64 OT as an example. The writer was clearly being an ass when he wrote it. Realistically, the Intellivision OT, NEO GEO OT and Arcade Collecting OT are safe bets to go by. They donā€™t have to be long, just interesting to read. Really anything other than the Sega CD OT is good. (Lol). And donā€™t worry about making things ā€œperfectā€. OTs are more about the discussion than the OP. They can always be updated too. And we arenā€™t a super formal group on this site. So no one is going to be mad if you spice things up with humor. The most important guideline is to have fun with it. ---

@Peltz nailed it. We do encourage informative OTs but at the end of the day they are just a place for discussion. Anyone can go on Wikipedia for the specs and best sellers of a console but you come to the OT for the juicy discussion below it! ---

@IrishNinja Iā€™ve started a draft to cover SG1000 and M3/MS in one thread: **Sega 8-bit (SG1000 to Master System) |OT| - Taking it to Mach III** Let me know what you want to contribute with šŸ™‚ I just did the PCE one and I think I end up wring long magazine articles for everything lol. ---

Can the Switch have a thread? Itā€™s not retro, but itā€™s the only current system I like. ---

I donā€™t see why not. The community and boards are retro, but all gaming discussion is in bounds. ---

Been sick the last few days, but I have a draft of a Wii U thread done. I need to fill in a few more things, add images, and edit it but I might have it up later tonight. ---

Hook it up to your CRT andā€¦ wait actually donā€™t do that. OK so itā€™s not retro, but the system was super behind the times and even today that Nintendo feel is certainly more in line with classic games than the AAA hogwash on other platforms.

Might be worth pinning a master list containing links to each console OT for easier navigation. ---
