Defunct Games's video: EGM the Launch Games 2004-2006 : Xbox 360 Wii PlayStation 3 PlayStation Portable Nintendo DS

Welcome back to the fourth and final episode of EGM and the Launch Games, the show where we analyze two decade's worth of console launches through the eyes of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Over the past few weeks, we've looked at the rise of the 16-bit consoles, the growing pains of the 32-bit generation and the mainstreaming of the modern era. We've seen the industry go from arcade ports to computer ports, from mascot heroes to first-person heroes, from Mario to ... well ... Mario. Some things never change. In today's episode, we've finally made it to the final five consoles that EGM had the honor of covering. This not only includes the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, but also the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. We're going to see if anything can top the Nintendo 64 as the best-reviewed launch line-up of all time. Now, it's finally time to dive head-first into the final episode of EGM and the Launch Games. 0:00 - Introduction 2:28 - Nintendo DS 8:01 - Sony PlayStation Portable 15:55 - Microsoft Xbox 360 23:57 - Sony PlayStation 3 29:13 - Nintendo Wii Join our brand-new Discord Server: https://discord.gg/6pCvtET Defunct Games is on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DefunctGames Defunct Games is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defunctgames Defunct Games is home to thousands of reviews, articles, comedy pieces, podcasts, features and more: www.defunctgames.com
