idea: video game series that goes backward a console generation with each new release

so if the first game comes out on switch, the second would be on wii u, the third on wii, fourth on gamecube, fifth on n64, sixth on snes, and seventh on nes (which would have to be the last entry)

@noiob i dunno if i'd count that as a console but yeah you could do that

@Felthry I mean I get that it's not a console as in a platform for multiple games, but a handheld can be a console

@noiob we generally use the words "handheld" and "console" as exclusive terms, describing two different categories of video game systems
-F

@Felthry that doesn't make any sense, especially considering the Switch

@noiob prior to the switch's release it was a fully exclusive thing though, we don't know of any other systems like it (the sega nomad and turbografx express both are handhelds that play the same games as consoles, so the definitions still work) -F

@Felthry yeah but handheld consoles aren't fundamentally different from tv-bound consoles, they just bring their own screen, speakers and power supply

@noiob the types of games on them are designed differently (at least historically), and they follow their own release generations rather than going along with consoles
-F

Follow

@noiob also, they've been historically considered two separate categories and i don't see any real reason to go against that
