Most feature somewhere between 20 and 50 preloaded games, so you should expect to find the majority of the biggest games for any given console, plus a range of slightly more obscure titles. This works out for the most part, but if you have one or two specific games you want to play, you'll be disappointed if they aren't included with your console, since it usually isn't possible to buy additional games separately. If you choose a multi-system console loaded with games from a range of consoles, check to see if it is officially licensed.
Otherwise, you may end up with games that are poor knockoffs of the originals. Your chosen retro video game console will almost definitely come with controllers. These should have the same layout as the controllers included with the original version of the console. You'll usually receive a pair of controllers, allowing you to play multiplayer games with others, where possible.
Some controllers are wired; others have been upgraded to wireless technology that would not have been available when the console was originally released. In addition to standard game consoles that connect to a TV, you can also find some handheld retro gaming consoles.
These have a small screen and controls built into the console, so you can play them wherever you like. The majority of retro game consoles offer some multiplayer options, and most come with two controllers so you can play with another person.
However, these consoles only support in-person multiplayer action, so don't expect to be able to play online with your friends the way you can with modern game consoles. These tend to include a huge number of games as well as extras, such as spare controllers. You'll get better graphics from retro consoles with bit processing power compared to their 8-bit counterparts, but it will still look primitive next to the latest generation of games.
While you may notice a few small differences, especially on consoles featuring games ported from full-size arcade gaming machines, for the most part, the gameplay on a re-released retro console is identical to the original. The controllers you receive should match those sold with the original console, so you'll find the controls the same as the last time you played the genuine retro version. This is open to some debate, as there's no set definition of what is and isn't retro in the world of gaming.
For instance, some purists only consider consoles released in the '70s and '80s truly retro, such as the Atari and the NES. Some will even class consoles released in the early '00s as retro, including the PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube.

Consoles also have parental controls, which give concerned parents more control than ever over the kinds of games, apps and videos their kids can access. Most of the latest consoles have the necessary power to play media smoothly and effortlessly.
Some can even read Blu-rays and DVDs, so you can watch your entire physical movie catalog without buying a separate disc player. And since the consoles constantly receive automatic software updates, the viewing experience is ever improving. The newest heavy-duty console to hit the market — the Xbox One X — has 4K HDR playback and the most powerful gaming console processor on the market. The best way to compare it is to say that an Xbox is a media center that also plays games, and the PlayStation is a gaming console that also plays media.
Nintendo understands that not all consoles are meant for the living room. You can play AAA titles on them, and some even allow for 3D gameplay. If you want something more powerful and versatile, which allows for handheld gameplay as well as traditional couch-and-TV-based gaming, for both solo and multiplayer fun, go with the Switch.
As we approach the end of this console generation, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all gearing up for the future. As a result, none of the previous generation of consoles are still on sale, with exception of Nintendo's 3DS and 2DS line of handhelds.
These still offer great value thanks to their extensive game libraries, even if new games are no longer being release. If you're looking for budget gaming, your best bet is to get one of the entry level consoles like the Xbox One S or PS4 Slim. If you're not attached to physical media, Microsoft also sell a digital only Xbox One S.
It doesn't have a disc drive, but it's even cheaper than the normal model. Otherwise, consider classic or used consoles. Most cities have small, local game stores where you can often find deeply discounted — albeit used — consoles and games. You can also save a ton by buying used accessories. Most of the time, the people running these stores are avid gamers as well and can give you recommendations and keep you notified of upcoming releases, sales and in-store events.
Gaming consoles are designed primarily for adults, as they can advertise mature games with scary or inappropriate content. Additionally, their interfaces can be rather utilitarian, making them hard for young children to use. Also, if you save your credit card information on the system for game purchases, it may be easy for your child to buy games without your permission.
But knowledge of this, along with adjusting the parental controls on your console, makes any game console infinitely more kid-friendly. A handful of games on the Xbox and PlayStation are great for kids, but again, neither console is really geared toward children.
Nintendo is the obvious choice for family-friendly gaming. The Nintendo Switch also has a ton of exclusive and indie titles available that kids should enjoy. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below.
