A man holds the Guinness World Record for successfully connecting 444 consoles to a TV.

Ibrahim Al-Nasser of Saudi Arabia recently achieved a Guinness World Record for connecting the most video game consoles to a single TV. His extensive collection ranges from the first console, the Magnavox Odyssey, to the most recent, the PlayStation 5 Slim. Al-Nasser, a collector, faced challenges when trying to connect the consoles for gameplay.

He noticed that he had a large collection of gaming consoles that couldn’t all be plugged in simultaneously due to limited TV ports. To address this, he considered unplugging the existing console each time he wanted to play or finding a solution with switchers and converters. The impressive part of his setup isn’t just the number or layout of consoles, but how he managed to hide all the cables neatly. Watch the video below to see his organizational skills in action – although the stack of controllers in the room doesn’t quite match up to the rest.

The person used various tools available to organize cables, including switchers, converters, and more. They have a museum-like setup in place. To know which buttons to press, they have an Excel spreadsheet on an ultrawide monitor organized by console maker. Simply looking up the console they want to play, they can start turning everything on with the press of a button.

Al-Nasser’s collection includes a variety of gaming items, such as arcade cabinets like Metal Gear Arcade and OutRun 2, fight sticks, Android games, pinball machines, mini arcade machines, and more.

His favorite console of all time is, interestingly, the Sega Genesis. He has good taste.

Gaming: successfully connecting 444 consoles

In the late 1980s, Nintendo was dominating the video game industry. Atari was declining, and Nintendo’s iconic characters like Mario were making them a household name. Nintendo was the go-to choice for gamers, with their console leading the way in the early days of gaming. Challenging Nintendo was not a simple feat – it would require not just a superior system, but also a memorable message to capture players’ attention.

Square Enix has been reviving dormant franchises like Dragon Quest Monsters, SaGa, Star Ocean, and Theatrhythm alongside continuing the Final Fantasy series. The Mana series is now also getting Square Enix’s treatment with Visions of Mana.

After 10 hours of playing, it’s clear that Visions of Mana draws inspiration from real-time combat and open-world RPG games like Tales, Xenoblade, and modern Final Fantasy. What sets Visions of Mana apart is its outstanding class system that provides flexibility and unique combat mechanics. Unlike previous Mana games with linear progression, Visions of Mana’s class system stays true to its roots. The simple plot of the is complemented by some predictable twists.

Games in the Mana series typically involve a magical tree in their plots, including Visions of Mana. The story follows a young boy named Val, chosen as the Soul Guard, who must journey to the Mana Tree. Along the way, he must protect special villagers known as “Alms,” who sacrifice their lives to keep the world safe. The plot is simple but effectively sets up the stakes and goals for the protagonist. There is no unnecessary delay in revealing the protagonist’s mission, which is a positive aspect of the story.
