If there's ever a RUclips gaming channel Hall Of Fame (and I hope there will be), you guys should be its 1st inductee. You are true icons for the gaming community.
Loving these compilations! These are great to have running in the background during the day. Plus, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE hearing the intro music. All The Nostagia Feels!
probably the best intro music on youtube. i'll be working doing my think not interacting with anyone, and suddenly this tune will come to my head and i'll just smile and remember my nerd bros are out here making money on videos about nerd stuff. life was kinda hard growing up as one of the nerdy boys, but now some guys who seem just like my friends from back in the day are able to harness what we loved at the time and turn it into a career. that makes me so happy
Great video, I grew up with gaming with my first game pad was an Atari 2600. We have really come a long way since then, one only complaint about these series is I want to get these consoles again but what sucks about getting older is having the money to buy them but no time to play them lol. Thanks for these series I always love having these videos playing why I'm at work or when I have my kids around.
i would say man as someone who sounds like we have similar history, is don't consider it a loss if you cannot get the things you remember back. this is how most memories work anyway and if you really needed it you would already have it. so much about gaming as an adult is about time and if you are anything like me, you don't have enough time to play what you can afford to
I really like using music cassette cases for my Gameboy games. It's easy to print an insert that gives you a front and side cover and they stack & store really well. Plus you can put them into old-school multi cassette holders for display. The only issue is adding a foam insert in each so that the cartridge doesn't slide around.
the sad thing about the Saturn Analogue and the Dreamcast controller is that they are the ONLY first party controller with a "no drift" analogue stick due to them being based on Hall Effect Sensors. No wear and tear here - everything else I know works with 150 year old tech -> the good old Potentiometer that WILL fail and die when used.
I am an avid everdrive collector. Don't get me wrong, I have boxed copies of a majority of the pokemon games and that's incredible, I love playing the original carts, but an everdrive is insanely useful and convenient, especially for someone that doesn't have 10s of thousands of dollars to finish every system collection that they want. Not to mention fan translations, hacks and homebrews, built in cheat engines, it's incredible.
You're playing Robo Warrior! One of my favorite NES games and it's a hidden gem as well as underrated. It's a challenging game for sure, but it's fun to play it like a Bomberman clone that has an adventure story to it.
Sansui made a controller for the NES that is almost identical to the Famicom's controller. It also features a slider switch for the A and B button that allow you to set how fast you want auto fire. It also has a headphone jack at the bottom of the controller for some weird mono output that changes ears depending on which direction your pressing. Overall it is my favorite controller for the NES.
pretty cool man i'll have to look into this. while i don't want any controller that has anything to do with autofire, having those other features seems pretty neat. switching a and b omg lol
Great vids. You should update the controllers with other consoles bit. Currently using my xboxS/X controller on switch with 8bitdo usb dongle but looking to use 8bitdo on xboxS for fighting games, haven’t found a one yet but hear may flash makes one. Love your channel.
For most games the 6 button pad was essentially a 4 or 5 button pad, with one or two of the functions required by the 3 button scheme becoming obsolete in the transition. Several games simply used XYZ as weapon hotkeys. But not Earthworm Jim which gave you bupkis.
I'm a big binder guy. I house all my games in binders...switch, gba,ds,3ds and gameboy. I even use cd cases for all my generations of xbox. I keep all my cases displayed and just keep my games in binders. Works grt.
Yes! I am not a fan of the dogbone either! I think the angle should be the other way and, as you said, the buttons should be closer. It’s so close to be the best NES pad, but just falls short.
Again, what happened to the Atari 7800 in the first hour? That was the number 2 system in the US. Yes Sega was #3 in the US Sales. Sega just had a stronger sales in Europe where there was 10 formats competing mostly microconputers.
Careful with those retrobit products. They look and feel very similar to their original controllers but are built with some cheap internal parts. I bought two of the retrobit Saturn controllers last year and the d-pads broke within a few hours of gameplay on both controllers. the actuator cross in the d-pad was made with a very fragile plastic. It seems like the best modern 3rd party controllers are made by 8bitdo, they have a great Saturn/genesis 6 button style controller alternative.
Yup, I bought a Saturn one from Amazon and I live in South Africa so I can't return it. It has massive lag and the c button seems to choose when it wants to work. But not only that, because I could have just gotten a bad unit..To me they feel cheap, I have an 8bitdo Genesis controller and its no contest. You cant even compare the quality, I can't believe they get such good reviews.
I seriously bought the SEGA joystick JUST for the included Rapid Fire adapter. I would then connect a regular joypad to it. Oddly, I mostly used the rapid fire because I loved playing Monopoly and holding the rapid fire sped up the computer's turns. Also, it was MORE comfortable to play with it in your hands like the Atari joystick and actually move the stick from the bottom instead of the top grip.
It would really help if you guys took the time to print the titles/platforms of the games you feature in your videos. Not everyone knows what games these are or how we go about finding out so we can play them. Thank you!
The Megadrive 6 button pad is my favourite digital pad with the only thing missing being shoulder buttons, the Saturn pad almost nailed it but the retro bit version did it perfect.
The SNES controller (or SNES classic mini) is my favourite controller ever. Also for fighting games on other systems like Neo Geo (I don't like floating d-pads, they aren't sturdy at all). If the buttons start to fail of feel mushy, I simply change out the contacts.
For the NES Max controller, you are supposed to press on the ring, you don't use the thumb placement for pressing buttons, that is just for thumb stabilization and positioning.
I'm a NES controller fan, NES Advantage fan, NES Max fan, NES dogbone controller fan, SNES controller fan, N64 controller, PS controller, and the Nintendo GameCube controller fan. Love them all!
I have a PC Engine Duo with most of the great fighting titles, 2-six button stock controllers, 2-six button fighter controllers, and one stock NEC controller. I have the multi-tap too.
Better off buying new contact pads for old controllers. Cheaper and just as effective even if you need to replace them more often than original pads. What's great about 2D gen console controllers is there really aren't any "mechanical" points of failure to be had like you have with new gens with triggers and sticks etc. They really can last forever with occasional pad changes to keep them fresh.
I have a Retrotink 2x Pro M, it works well enough to run on a VGA CRT. I wonder what you do for "neanderthal games" like the 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, Astrocade,etc... You need an NTSC tuner that can tune Channels 2, 3, and 4. I have a VHS machine with a broken tape deck. Maybe the tuner can be minaturized and used with a Retrotink.
@@rowanunderwood an RGB modded console might be good playingwise, but in terms of collectability, untouch is more truly historic. I can get SMS, SG2, SNES, SAT, TG16, PS2, ABD JAG running in RGB with no system mods. All you have to do is find a vcr woth an NTSC tuner. Even one with a tape deck is broken. I'm surprised no one makes a miniaturized tuner with RGB SCART for all the neanderthal games. If you took out the tape deck and just had an NTSC tuner, that should miniaturize it
I remember the dual shock ps1 controller. Never got it because there really wasn't any good games that required it. I guess you can play crash bandicoot on it, but those games work just fine with dpad since they are basically 2D games with polygons . You're locked in either a horizontal platform stage or vertical runner stage. Maybe you could use it on Blasto. LOL
The Turbo Graphic 16 is a great system. The Turbo had a lot of really good space shooters. Sega Dreamcast is my favorite and the Turbo is in my top 5 systems probably my 5th favorite Favorite Systems 1) Sega Dreamcast 2) Sega Master System 3) PlayStation 3 4) Xbox 360 5) Turbo Graphic 16 6) Nintendo Switch OLED 7) PlayStation 1 8) Sega Game gear 9) Xbox 1 10) Atari 2600
I think at the time, it was more common for people in japan to have their consoles out in the living room on the table or even on the floor. The controller wires were short, however the other console cables were much longer.
Man I miss playing blaster master lol, I think it’s between that and Metroid probably for games I put most hours in on as kid lol, but blaster master really sucked me in to story n all, was great game for times, I really need to get an nes back
Just fyi, if a controller/product is officially licensed but not made by the owner, then it's a second party controller, you can always tell the difference between 2nd and 3rd party because 2nd party controllers have the owners name on the controller like the first party controllers, like the retro bit sega controllers which are 2nd party, if doesn't have the logo/owner name on it, then it's 3rd party
32:25: I suck, the NEC Turbo, I wish you guys would put the names of the games hovering over the game play windows around this time mark. I don't know either of the games from just the game play. Wonderful stuff, you guys make it more worth while.
Very good insight. I myself always prefer the original NES controllers overall as well. So many years of using that basic rectangle block controller that nothing feels the same. Same goes for the PlayStation controller. My brain just feels at ease when I’m using a PS controller vs Switch/Xbox. Don’t get me wrong I do love the Xbox controller especially their trigger layout but nothing has a feel like the PS controller and same goes from that Original NES pad
I've found that Gamerz Tek clone-consoles have so-far always worked with Everdrives. Mainly because they are pure hardware clones; no software emulation at all. You can also usually choose between original outputs or modern outputs. I've seen other clone-consoles that boast HDMI, but they often mangle the color pallet. Like, why is Mario now wearing fuchsia overalls..? Ew. Somehow, Gamerz Tek clones don't have this problem. I'm not sure what they're doing differently, but it works! Oh and, NO ADDED LAG. They play exactly like the originals do. It's also a nice bonus too that they don't cost too much. xD
[Try4ce] Several people misunderstood what I was saying here. The Zapper works with the NES Toploader, but NOT the AV Famicom. Famicom expects gun inputs from the extension port, even though the AV Famicom does have NES style controller ports. US controllers work on it, but not the Zapper. But on US systems, both work of course.
Nintendo build quality in '80s to mid '90s was like military-grade equipment lol. An original Gameboy literally survived a bombing run during the Gulf War. Somehow, Nintendo could defy the laws of thermodynamics and made plastic as hard as titanium.
@@foreignuser_ Yep. They don't even break through extensive use they are just broken straight out the factory. Then when you happen to get an alright pair another issue rolls up like a noisy spring.
I think i am just sticking with the new NES classic controllers. I got a adapter for the blister and blissbox. IDK if the Pad in it is just as good. The other youtuber was saying that the replacement pads they found where not the same and didn't do diagonals as well. Are these better, similar to the originals? Would replacing the classic controllers make a more authentic feel?
@@mylifeingaming I didn't mean to come across as 'pointing out flaws'. I only meant to help out fellow late-comers to this video who might not realize there was an updated version of the cart. I made that exact mistake myself. Right now, I can glance up at the Super Everdrive x5 sitting on my shelf gathering dust, which was replaced only a week after I got it by the SD2SNES Pro. If I could find a parts-cart, to salvage the right chips from, I'm fairly confidant that I could mod it. And then at least I could give it away to someone who would get some enjoyment out of it. Still, I'm not likely to just happen upon a damaged copy of Yoshi's Island any time soon. And I would never chop up a functional original, just to mod an Everdrive. To me, that's sort of blasphemy. But, to each their own.
@@mylifeingaming thank you very much 🙏 one question, I remember the robot to be blue. Might that be another robocco game or maybe a fake version of it? Thank you again
The engraved Snes controllers are no diff, I got one off eBay used and it felt the exact same as my old version Snes controller. Mushy dpad from decades of use
Here's the thing about the Dreamcast controller and the wire being attached at the wrong end which no one ever seems to pick up on: The controller has a little groove/clip on the underside of the controller that you can attach the wire to so that it holds to the back of the controller again. Why would Sega do this in the first place? Well, I can't even tell you the number of controllers I've had in my life where the wire has worn out and I've had to buy a new one, because the wire bends and over time wears out, ultimately exposing the inner wires and sometimes even snapping off completely, as happened with an Xbox 360 controller charging wire I had not too long ago. When the wire is attached to the back of a controller it is just a physical law of the Universe. Given enough time, and enough use, massive bending and eventual damage, possibly even completely breaking, will happen. Sega, god love them, saw this and figured out how to beat that tendency with 2 very simple innovations and, disappointingly, EVERYONE missed it. Everyone except me, that is. That little groove/clip for the wire to be seated inside prevents so much movement and lessens the bending significantly enough in the wire that, if not completely preventing the wearing out of the wire over time as the bending gets worse, it certainly prolongs the expected life of the controller significantly. Do have a look at your Dreamcast controller and make use of what Sega gave you in order to keep it working as intended for longer. Disclaimer: I am from the UK, and as such I had a UK model. It's possible the North American Dreamcast controllers didn't have this innovation, though I can't imagine Sega not including it.
[Try4ce] It's there on North American controllers, and I actually agree, to some extent. While I've never had issues with controller wires wearing down on any controllers for any systems, I get what Sega was doing with the bottom wire, and personally it never bothered me. Seems to weird out most folks though.
21:41 SMS Control Stick, arcade controller with joystick on the right, don't know how long the cable is but could you reverse it so you are using your left hand to control the joystick? (I would try)
A lot of the early dpads could easily be ambidexterized. Just rotate 180 degrees and flip one or two switches. (Second switch swaps buttons for Tutankham and Side Arms.). I think there is a reason that all second generation consoles (except the vectrex) had intentional ambidexterity and the NES controller didn't makes me think there is a Japanese Jingoistic Joystick Jihad. I can't prove it, but it does explain why there's no right handed joysticks.

The nail polish racks for displaying Gameboy cartridges is genius!
for real. They mentioned a link in the description, did you see it?
nvm I found it in their affiliate link. I'm a moron. lol
⭐ FANTASTIC DISPLAY for all of them smaller games yes! 😊
Ive got a giant wall mounted nail polish rack for all of my favorite n64 games. Ive got two racks that he has, I used them for my SNES games.
I LOVED the NES MAX, I used the hell out of that controller! Especially on Megaman and Ninja Gaiden
Same, most people, including Marc here... don't seem to comprehend how to use it properly XD
I’m an NES Max fan. It was my goto controller growing up. There must be dozens of us.
Think there may be one of you. 😂
NES Max was my favorite controller as a kid, always felt so comfortable. Tried playing it as an adult and man that thing is cramped!
These are getting me through my work day! Great stuff!
Slacker! lol

They play exactly like the originals do. It's also a nice bonus too that they don't cost too much. xD
Zapper works fine on my RGB modded top loader, never tried it with the RF cables though, maybe that causes an issue?
[Try4ce] Several people misunderstood what I was saying here. The Zapper works with the NES Toploader, but NOT the AV Famicom. Famicom expects gun inputs from the extension port, even though the AV Famicom does have NES style controller ports. US controllers work on it, but not the Zapper. But on US systems, both work of course.
@@mylifeingaming I gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
@@mylifeingaming
Isn’t there a workaround for that? Because my modded AV famicom accepts the Zapper, but only in port 2.
Best damn channel on the internet!
U gotta get your hands on the Famicom with the pre recalled square buttons
Nintendo build quality in '80s to mid '90s was like military-grade equipment lol. An original Gameboy literally survived a bombing run during the Gulf War. Somehow, Nintendo could defy the laws of thermodynamics and made plastic as hard as titanium.
and now they make joycons that break through everyday use, don't address the issue, and keep on keeping on
@@foreignuser_ Yep. They don't even break through extensive use they are just broken straight out the factory. Then when you happen to get an alright pair another issue rolls up like a noisy spring.
You do/have a review for Crossover Gaming Adapters
I think i am just sticking with the new NES classic controllers.
I got a adapter for the blister and blissbox.
IDK if the Pad in it is just as good.
The other youtuber was saying that the replacement pads they found where not the same and didn't do diagonals as well. Are these better, similar to the originals? Would replacing the classic controllers make a more authentic feel?
58:28 you should show the input lag in the comparisons too
fell asleep and DIDNT wake up to this
Understandable, have a nice day.
very cool one
The SD2SNES *_Pro_* plays the *_full_* SNES library. I've tested this personally. I have the grey cart with the black label and red lettering.
[Try4ce] Yeah this is a compilation of very old videos and it didn't do it yet when we first covered it.
@@mylifeingaming I didn't mean to come across as 'pointing out flaws'. I only meant to help out fellow late-comers to this video who might not realize there was an updated version of the cart.
I made that exact mistake myself. Right now, I can glance up at the Super Everdrive x5 sitting on my shelf gathering dust, which was replaced only a week after I got it by the SD2SNES Pro.
If I could find a parts-cart, to salvage the right chips from, I'm fairly confidant that I could mod it. And then at least I could give it away to someone who would get some enjoyment out of it. Still, I'm not likely to just happen upon a damaged copy of Yoshi's Island any time soon. And I would never chop up a functional original, just to mod an Everdrive. To me, that's sort of blasphemy. But, to each their own.
Hi. Can someone tell me the name of the game showed at 2:48 please? Thank you
Robocco Wars
@@mylifeingaming thank you very much 🙏 one question, I remember the robot to be blue. Might that be another robocco game or maybe a fake version of it? Thank you again
The engraved Snes controllers are no diff, I got one off eBay used and it felt the exact same as my old version Snes controller. Mushy dpad from decades of use
Here's the thing about the Dreamcast controller and the wire being attached at the wrong end which no one ever seems to pick up on:
The controller has a little groove/clip on the underside of the controller that you can attach the wire to so that it holds to the back of the controller again. Why would Sega do this in the first place? Well, I can't even tell you the number of controllers I've had in my life where the wire has worn out and I've had to buy a new one, because the wire bends and over time wears out, ultimately exposing the inner wires and sometimes even snapping off completely, as happened with an Xbox 360 controller charging wire I had not too long ago. When the wire is attached to the back of a controller it is just a physical law of the Universe. Given enough time, and enough use, massive bending and eventual damage, possibly even completely breaking, will happen.
Sega, god love them, saw this and figured out how to beat that tendency with 2 very simple innovations and, disappointingly, EVERYONE missed it. Everyone except me, that is. That little groove/clip for the wire to be seated inside prevents so much movement and lessens the bending significantly enough in the wire that, if not completely preventing the wearing out of the wire over time as the bending gets worse, it certainly prolongs the expected life of the controller significantly.
Do have a look at your Dreamcast controller and make use of what Sega gave you in order to keep it working as intended for longer.
Disclaimer: I am from the UK, and as such I had a UK model. It's possible the North American Dreamcast controllers didn't have this innovation, though I can't imagine Sega not including it.
[Try4ce] It's there on North American controllers, and I actually agree, to some extent. While I've never had issues with controller wires wearing down on any controllers for any systems, I get what Sega was doing with the bottom wire, and personally it never bothered me. Seems to weird out most folks though.
Pure classic 😮😮
RIP. Byuu/Near :(
21:41 SMS Control Stick, arcade controller with joystick on the right, don't know how long the cable is but could you reverse it so you are using your left hand to control the joystick? (I would try)
A lot of the early dpads could easily be ambidexterized. Just rotate 180 degrees and flip one or two switches. (Second switch swaps buttons for Tutankham and Side Arms.). I think there is a reason that all second generation consoles (except the vectrex) had intentional ambidexterity and the NES controller didn't makes me think there is a Japanese Jingoistic Joystick Jihad. I can't prove it, but it does explain why there's no right handed joysticks.
