Today I'd like to introduce a new NeoGAF feature. Whether you're a
PlayStation 4
gamer, or like chilling out with your
Switch
on the go (or even if you're loving Game Pass on your
Xbox One
) you'll enjoy our new Console Mentions here on NeoGAF.
What is this?
A while back we updated our user mentions system to include a small thumbnail of the user you're mentioning and we thought "It'd be cool if you could do this for game systems as well". So we took that idea and made it a reality. Everything from Atari 2600 to Ouya . I can already hear you asking: what about handhelds? That depends on whether you think the Virtual Boy is a handheld or not. Just kidding, we've got Game Boy , Game Gear , and even the Atari Lynx . Too mainstream? Feel free to talk about your favorite Game.com or N-Gage games. We've got nearly fifty of your favorite game consoles set up for this even the 32X .
Why?
If you're going to talk about the Super Nintendo vs Genesis or PlayStation 2 vs Dreamcast console wars, you're going to want to be prepared. You're going to want the name of your favorite console to be shown in Orange and link to a page with more information. How else will anyone know that your first gaming system was that ColecoVision you got for Christmas in 1982? What if the person you're talking to has never heard of the TurboGrafx-16 and wants to learn more about it? Or maybe you're working on a new OT and want a fancy way to display the fact that a game is releasing on the Nintendo 3DS because it can do that too.
How?
Just like with User Mentions, Console Mentions start with an @ symbol then just type in something like... I don't know.... Neo Geo Pocket . And just like magic it'll appear. You'll be reminicing about your favorite Nintendo 64 or Game Boy Advance games like a pro soon.
The Future
We're already hard at work (thankfully on a PC faster than our old Commodore 64 ) building new integrations for this feature. For now though, we just enjoy the novelty of being able to see a photo of an Atari 7800 or a GameCube in our posts and we hope you will too.
