Zeebo

The Zeebo is a video game console that was released in 2009, primarily targeted at emerging markets. It’s price was 499 Brazilian Reals in Brazil and 2499 Mexican Pesos in Mexico, equaling to around 89 US Dollars.

It had remade versions of games from mobile phones and other consoles, such as FIFA 09, Resident Evil 4, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, etc. It also had several exclusive games, these being the Zeebo Extreme, Boomerang Sports and Zeebo Football Club franchises and the game “Un juego de huevos”, an action game based on the Mexican film “Una película de huevos”.

Preinstalled games were different in both Brazil and Mexico:

Mexico: Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, Pac Mania, Tekken 2, Zenonia and Zeebo Family Pack

Brazil: FIFA 09, Need for Speed: Carbon Own the City and Brain Challenge

Some characteristics of the Zeebo included a 3G connectivity and low-cost gaming. When you bought the console you would get 1 hour of free Internet, and you would recharge by buying “Zeebocreditos” (that were used to buy games in the storefront as well)

The console had failed because of it’s limited game library, the competition, perception of quality (the console was made with bad quality materials, and the graphics were comparable to a PSX) and technological limitations.

The Zeebo flopped so bad, that on 2011, Zeebo announced they were going to cease all operations in Brazil and Mexico, and that the online storefront was going to shut down.

I’d say French or Portuguese

Fuck Epic

I was about to get one of those used (only difference is it being the 8GB version) but at the end it turned out it didn’t work so I bought a new RX 6600 instead

Nah, Halloween died down and we celebrate Mascaradas (another tradition) instead in that same date.

They used to say that black shirts, heavy metal, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon and even Winnie the Pooh were satanic too as well

Here in Costa Rica we don’t usually celebrate Halloween because people back in the 90s said it was satanic and stuff.

Eventually the tradition died down

Fuck Epic. Maybe they should fix their store first

Only Fortnite and Minecraft? Rather than a gaming laptop, you can buy him the ROG Ally handheld instead and save some money. Even the Steam Deck will do the job (make sure you get the 512 GB or 1 TB version, 64 and 256 GB are limited)

I’m a tech person and I still use reddit

Need context on the question. You mean reposting stuff on Reddit or reposting stuff from Reddit?

Because:

1. They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs

2. They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me

3. They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939

4. Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)

5. Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits

6. They call their subreddit a “facebook group”

I think some people could think it’s not satire but that’s because there is a rule saying “we are not satire”. Guess what? That rule is satire too

Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don’t realize it’s satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
