Sega Dreamcast
The Sega Dreamcast have been called underrated for so long it has become overrated. The thing is, it may not be underrated now, but in it's time people missed out on a great console. Dreamcast came out far earlier than PS2 or Xbox, and had similar hardware. They also had a lot of great titles, it just never got the love it deserved, because after other consoles came out Sega just gave up on it.
Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn may be the most underrated console of all time. It may have been slightly underpowered when compared to the Playstation, but the arcade crossovers, like Virtua Fighter, seemed to translate perfectly to Saturn. It also had many great originals like the Panzer Dragoon series, and Shining Force 3. Sega just produced solid to great consoles that never got the recognition they deserved because of the name.
Nintendo Gamecube
Gamecube was overshadowed by PS2, the all-time best selling console, and Xbox. It is the worst selling consoles in Nintendo history next to the Virtual boy, and yet it was still a great console. It had some great first-party games, and some games that I would put up as some of the best Nintendo has ever produced. Its cute little purple design was different too.
Neo Geo
The Neo Geo brought the arcade into your home. This thing was powerful beyond belief, and had nearly every type of game you could imagine. There was only one problem, the price. The Neo Geo cost upwards of $650, and game cartridges cost around $200. From Metal Slug to King of Fighters, this console had some great games all the way through.
Playstation Portable
The Playstation Portable got its ass kicked by DS, but I still believe it is a great handheld. Its screen was giant and vibrant, and PSP's had so many capabilities that DS just did not have. The design wasn't very comfortable and the joysticks were hard to control, but bringing more serious games to the palm of our hands was different.

NeoGeo and Turbografx 16 were amazing systems. In Japan the Turbografx 16 was actually ahead of the the NES and Snes and it got tons of games too (Japan only games though). This system was like a weaboo's wet-dream with its multiple anime games and Jrpg's. Meanwhile in the west it was all about Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo! But the Snes had a good run with games like Chrono Trigger and Megaman X, so I don't complain.
I feel like buying a Sega Saturn or Dreamcast, but where can I find Games for either?
