Most under-utilized consoles? (sh.itjust.works)

Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.

Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.

The Sega Mega CD and the 32x were genuinely great pieces of hardware...but nearly all the games were awful. I love the Mega CD in particular, and I say that as a Nintendo kid.

    Ha! I was a Mega Drive fan as a teen, and I got really angered by this... until I realized that you were speaking about the Mega CD and 32x specifically. Yep, there really weren't many good games for either of them.
