A webcomic by our very own Zanreo, started in February 2013 and hosted on ComicFury and Tapastic, Consolers is a webcomic starring Anthropomorphic Personifications of video game companies. It covers video game history, current events, and various fun facts and stories about the companies, focusing (arguably) on the "big 3" console creators Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.Most of the news- or fun facts-based comics are one-page gags, often presented in a four-panel format, while history-based arcs tend to go over several pages."Consoler", by the way, is an in-comic term for a game company who makes their own console. Of course, these are very big, mighty and important figures in the industry, but being a Consoler also carries a lot of risk and responsibility to keep that status. And you're constantly fighting with the others.Has a Characters page.Strips can be found here and here. | |

Creator Cameo | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: Zanreo herself appears in a Q&A, and is asked as the creator about where she gets all her info for the comic. She says she usually reads various gaming news and history, but lately has considered looking into "new ways of getting info". note specifically, she's shown in the next panel sneaking into one of Iwata's Nintendo meetings and watching from behind a plant... and later dragged away by security while holding a restraining order. | |

Vanity License Plate | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_1305f045 | comment |
Vanity License Plate: A subtle example: Namco's license plate reads "76-50", which doesn't seem too unusual... unless you know that "765" (which can be pronounced as "na-mu-ko", or Namco) is used as an Arc Number across various Namco games. | |

Gone Horribly Right: Rare's new games after working for Microsoft sell terribly... until he starts working on Kinect. He thinks it's a bad idea and finds development really boring and exhausting, but since these are the games that end up selling much better, that's what he's stuck doing. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |

Pay Evil unto Evil: After Nintendo finds out Sony had been scheming to get all the money and licensing rights from their collaboration, she decides to get her revenge by publicly humiliating him on stage in front of an audience by calling him out on his plans, and breaking the contract of their collaboration... which causes Sony to get his revenge back again by making his own console that ends up making the developers focus more on him than Nintendo. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: A minor one - in the Atari backstory, Nintendo is shown wearing a big red tie, obviously in the style of Donkey Kong. However, Donkey Kong didn't wear his iconic tie back then - this wasn't added before the Donkey Kong Country SNES game years later. In general, several companies are shown wearing outfits representing certain franchises even when set at a time when said franchise/game didn't exist yet. | |

Significant Birth Date | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_2edf787f | comment |
Significant Birth Date: The day a company was founded will be the character's birthday - for characters with separate gaming branches it will be when this branch was started. So Nintendo's birthday is September 23 (when Nintendo was founded) and Sony's is November 16 (when Sony Computer Entertainment was started). | |

Older Than They Look | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Most characters look like they're in their older teens or early twenties, even when representing companies that have existed for 30 or 40 or 50 years. In 120+ year old Nintendo's case it's bordering on Really 700 Years Old. Younger Than They Look: On the other side, companies started just 5-10 years ago will similarly often look older than they "really" are. | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_4348c929 | comment |
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Several characters have gone through design changes since the start of the comic: Nintendo started off without the flipped-out hair spikes, and had a ponytail at the back of her head which later got moved to the left side of her head. Sony had a grey shirt instead of a black one. In his first appearances he also didn't have the Playstation buttons and the yellow Sony Entertainment Network mark on his shirt. Square Enix's first appearance gave him cyan hair, purple eyes and a slightly different outfit. Ubisoft wore a white hoodie instead of his blue and purple one. HAL had black hair with pink stripes instead of her current all-pink hair. Namco used to wear a blue visor along with his ear coverings. | |

Really 700 Years Old: Nintendo has existed for over 100 years (although not always as a game company, obviously), but still looks around the same age as the younger companies. | |

Cast of Personifications | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_643dbca5 | comment |
Cast of Personifications: It's about the personifications of the three biggest video game companies, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, with their antics riffing on the interactions between the companies. Personifications of smaller companies like Namco and EA also appear, though they aren't as focused on. | |

| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_663f35c0 | comment |
Only One Name: Being personified companies, most of the characters only go by the name of the company they represent. For characters with two-part names like Square Enix, it's more of one name in two parts rather than a first name and a surname. | |

The Ageless | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_796fa10c | comment |
The Ageless: Companies don't physically age (120+ year old Nintendo being a good example) and won't die from simply aging. However, they can still die, usually from going bankrupt or otherwise going out of business - they have to "keep themselves alive" as a company. However, as long as they manage to stay in business they'll still stay alive even for hundreds of years. | |

Failure Gambit: Nintendo's plans for mobile games are portrayed as this. By making them as terrible as possible, filled with annoying gameplay mechanics, she ends up with low sales and can tell the investors (who's been bugging her about making mobile games for years) that these games "just don't sell on this platform". | |

Shout-Out: As expected, it's filled with references to both various franchises and series, and also gaming culture jokes. Nintendo's hat looks like a mix of Mario's cap and Link's hat. Capcom has a Yashichi on her headband. Sega's hair is clearly based on Sonic the Hedgehog. Ameritendo is shown wearing a shirt with a purple Pikmin. Game Freak's shorts are comfy and easy to wear. Claiming money from Youtube videos? IT PRINTS MONEY! "We don't need a big conference to kick ass and take names!" Sony is seen wearing pajamas with Playstation mascots Toro and Kuro. Namco has an Imagine Spot where he imagines himself as The King of All Cosmos. The audience in The Contract is seen posing similarily to the "Reaction Guys". "ONE. TRILLION. OPERATIONS. ...Wow." Microsoft's face at the of "E3 Presentation" looks somewhat familiar... Reference Overdosed | |

Trash Talk: EA talks about Nintendo in this way in one comic. It backfires. The Consolers with each other all the time. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The art has improved a lot throughout the years. Several characters has had minor design changes as the series went on: Nintendo's hair got "spiked out" to the sides and she now wears her ponytail to the left side instead of the back, and Sony now wears a black shirt instead of a gray one. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Phillips is only mentioned by Nintendo and never seen. Which… is probably for the best. Tose is never actually seen, working from behind a door in complete secret. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: given the nature of the comic is there really no protagonist or any antagonist. They can however Take A Level In Jerkass and do bad things so it can also fall into Black-and-Gray Morality as they are companies who want your money after all. | |

April Fools' Day | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_eac3ee70 | comment |
April Fools' Day: On 1st of April 2015, Zanreo announced that she had lost most of her interest in console games and the comic would from now on focus more on mobile games, especially Apple. This was obviously a joke. In 2016, Zanreo claimed she was opening up an online store selling various merchandise, getting weirder and weirder, starting with t-shirts and mugs, up to body pillows and trash cans. | |

Ensemble Cast | |
| Consolers (Webcomic) / int_ec212e4d | comment |
Ensemble Cast: By the nature of the series, there's no one 'main' character, and any company can be a "main" character in the strips and stories focusing on them (though the Big 3 do get the most focus). | |

Three Plus Two: The Consolers can be considered this, you have Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, plus the two past "big" Consolers: Sega and Atari. Though it's really more of a Three Plus One Plus Oh, That One Too. | |

Don't Explain the Joke: Frequently inverted, as Zanreo often explains the reference in the comments for people not familiar with the event. Sometimes this can make it funnier when you know what actually happened. | |
