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.

Gamegear was crippled by abysmal battery life. If you took the lithium battery technology of today and warped it back to where the Gamegear was, it would have made a huge difference. Gamegear fans loved to dunk on the Gameboy, but you could get a decent playtime out of it, whereas the Gamegear sucked down batteries like nobody's business.
