    Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS…

    Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.

    I regret selling my SNES and all the games I had with it when I was a kid. I needed the money short term but have regretted selling it ever since. So many good childhood memories were had with that console. :(

    Yes and no. I had a modded Sega Saturn with a ram cartridge that I traded in to afford a Dreamcast when it came out. I love the Dreamcast so it wasn’t a bad trade, but I do wish I still had the Saturn too.

    To date, I’ve never sold one. At times it makes me feel like a hoarder, but in all honesty I do semi-regularly go back and play my old systems.

    Edit: and/or repair – my NES works again.

    i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

    One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.

    I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.

    I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.

    Also Dreamcast but for a different reason than most. I learned it played burned games by default 10 minutes after I sold it.

    I can’t recall a console I sold that I particularly regrets selling, but only because I never really lost out on anything. It’s not like I can’t still play my favorite games or anything. Also, I eventually reacquired the consoles I sold over time, not particularly out if regret, but out of the desire to share the experience with others in the future.

    Though, I did sell a Retron5 that I had, it was the SNES Grey version. While it wasn’t exactly a retro console, it was pretty cool being able to consolidate all those retro consoles into one single device, and it looked pretty sleek too. I plan to check out a PolyMega sometime soon, I like their modular console idea a lot.

    Assuming it would still work after all these years, I regret selling my Apple IIc back in the eighties. I miss those simple games and emulators just aren’t the same.

    Reality is that it wouldn’t still work and all those bottom shelf floppies that I used to liberate games would have long since degraded.

    Not a console but I used to have a working Amiga 500 in the 90’s which I got rid of in favor of a PC. Wish I’d had held on to that one.
