To date, I've never sold one. At times it makes me feel like a hoarder, but in all honesty I do semi-regularly go back and play my old systems.

Edit: and/or repair -- my NES works again.

I have kept most of my Nintendo systems, but I sold my GameCube and now I regret it.

Games are still playable on my Wii, but I would have modded the GC to load games from a sd card to make it more future proof, as the disk reading part is the most fragile.

Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS...

Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.

i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

Trading my Neo Geo AES and some AES games for a modded PSX. Both me and my friend that sold the AES to me are both kicking ourselves.

I made up for it by buying a 2 slot MVS board and consolizing it...and getting a 4 slot MVS cabinet ages later.

Super Nintendo - I was in my mid teens and my mother coerced me into giving my Super Nintendo into my cousin, but I have regretted it ever since.

Coincidentally, Super Mario RPG remake is coming out in November and will probably make me feel fine again!

My Atari 2600 with 80+ games. Only because I saw it sold for like $40k decades later lol.

Donates mine to a children's hospital. NES, SNES, PS1, N64 and PS2 and a whole mess of games. My PS3, Xbox, hacked Xbox and 360 I kept till they all broke so they just got binned and the games given away to family and/or friends.

The only system out of all the consoles I currently want, and have wanted, but have never owned is Atari Jaguar with Jaguar CD. Someday...someday.
