Atari Jaguar Vs. Panasonic 3DO: A Failed Console Comparison

Overall:

They’re both failed consoles. Neither one offered something that the competitors didn’t have, cheaper, and better. This is kind of tough for me to be honest. The Panasonic 3DO has some good exclusives and even the best versions of specific ports. While they both have exclusives it seems that the Atari Jaguar has more of the better ones. The 3DO has an amazing library but games like Super Street Fighter II Turbo were soon surpassed, and Samurai Shodown is still better on the Neo Geo. Honestly I have to give this one begrudgingly to the Atari Jaguar. It’s just more fun to collect for.

Overall Winner: Atari Jaguar

Lifelong gamer and movie addict. I started playing with the original Nintendo but quickly fell in love with the arcades as well! It was the SNES that really cemented this as a long term hobby and the rest is history! I'm a former writer at the website Epinions.com and started this blog as a response to that closing down. I have a lot of retro video game knowledge and wanted to share it. That's where you all come in!

  1. I don’t know how old all of this is but your take on the Jaguar’s power is way off. Starting with Doom…did you know there is a fan fix for the game that not only adds the in-game music but you can play Doom 2 as well on bone stock hardware. However, if you want to see what a Jaguar could really do go play Skyhammer. The game takes place in an open futurustic city that is nothing but wall-to-wall teaxtured mapped polygons at a stable frame rate. It looks as good as top tier mid-generation PSX games, no joke. You should also check out the Soulstar Remake on the Jaguar as well. It too will blow your entire conceptions of what the Jaguar could do.

    Addendum- NBA Jams is the very best sports title on the Jaguar. It is the only port that was arcade perfect. It even crushes the Saturn and Playstation ports if you can believe it.
