"there weren't very many controller variations"

Compared to what?  I can think of at least fifteen different first party controllers.

Come on, for a video game console, its pretty cool design wise. Normally consoles are just a variation on a box. Feature wise sure its lacking, but it was meant as an introductory console.

I like the quirky nature of the shuttle.

One day, I'll be happy to at least have a shuttle controller pad.

PCE PAD with WINGS.

IM SRIOUS.

.   I never understood the need for the coregrafx, coregrafx 2, Shuttle, or Supergrafx. However, I will say the gray shell of the coregrafx was a much better choice than white. Better CD interface design as well.

For me, the fact that it can ONLY play HuCards is cool. Having it dedicated to the often dismissed card games, solidifies my passion for them. CD's are overrated...

PLUS IS LOOK LIKE IT CAN FLY!

A great console that was plagued with high defect rates in the earlier revisions? In that case yes.

Caps failing 20 years later is not a defect.
