- joenathanone 5y agoBack in the day everyone was concerned with the number of bit their gaming console had. The Nintendo 64 was the last to use bits as a primary marketing feature.
- charcircuit 5y ago>The Nintendo 64 was the last to use bits as a primary marketing feature. That's not true. There are some new "retro" consoles whose primary marketing feature is that they are 8 bit. For example the RES Plus' primary marking feature is that it plays 8 bit games.
- anyfoo 5y agoCompletely different situation. Those retro consoles are merely referencing the outdated but, for the old consoles, common classification, to indicate compatibility. They are not part of the race that once existed (i.e. you will hardly find a retro console claiming to be "better" because it can emulate 16bit consoles instead of 8bit ones).
