20:12 From everything I have heard about Japanese railway system from people visiting and living in Japan, this is pretty accurate to the expectations Japan has on their trains. I've seen news articles from Japan where train companies profusely apologized for being a minute late, as if it was the world's end, and heard that they have done the same thing when they were 15 seconds early.
bro as a train conductor if you arrive a minute late in japan your carrier is at risk. you gotta spend whole day apologizing to every train companies and higher ups lol
Japanese culture really is... Special. Even as a customer I don't think I'd want to see somebody apologize to me that hard for something so meaningless.
The Namco NeGcon for the PSX. An awesome controller that revolutionized racing games. Now, I know that's cool, but the Namco Volumen controller is even better.
The train game and controller honestly looks kinda sick as hell all the train fanatics I know would love it better than your typical train sim because of the controller
densha de go is actually a HUGE franchise over in japan, there's versions of the game and special controller on just about every major console (and even weird handheld ports like the wonderswan) and pretty much any of them are worth a try if you ever get a chance and can at least kinda read japanese (or just memorize all the messages)
I loved playing Densha de Go! when I was a kid. Got a disc imported to my country and I was curious about this damn game that I don't even understand. I spent hundreds of hours playing it with my brother and we usually switched roles because some train runs can take hours to complete. Gotta love it when the game allows you to go unlimited speed and all of a sudden you have to slow to 60km/h.
Putting Dennis in charge of advertising was probably the best idea ever. I used to just skip the ads, but I’ll watch them with Dennis as he’s entertaining and creative.
Fun fact, all PS2 controllers (official, anyway) had analog face buttons, it just almost never got used. Yes, I realize the NeGcon is for PS1, I'm just saying.
This is the reason it sucks trying to play Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3 on anything that isn't a PS2. On a PS2 pressing the square button with a small amount of pressure allowed you to aim, and then fully pressing square made you fire, you could also gently release square to put the firearm down without firing (for when you wanted to interigate/holdup someone) On a PS3, PS4 or PS5 pressing square in any fashion just makes you empty the magazine...
@@JontysCornerim not sure about 3, but at least with 4 you have options. you can change the button layout in game so it uses l2 and r2 for brake and throttle, or by default the right stick up and down will also control brake and throttle
HAving the closing shot be Linus in the dumpster, retrieving the horrible hand mouse is pretty funny. I love the lengths the team goes to for segues and bits.
I am honestly impressed by the train conductor panel. So much control and precision and it seemed to work flawlessly as well. It's not the peripheral's fault that the game attached to it is so hard.
@@KuroRyuu86 I would guess the arcade version is more punishing so most people won't sit for hours just to finish a run. I only played the PS1 version and some runs could take a long time to finish.
In Japan, the neGcon was relatively well-known back in the day. It was about 5000 yen. Also the name "neGcon" comes from the Japanese word "ねじる (nejiru)" meaning "twisting,” and the correct reading is ”Nejikon.”
I had the P5 glove back in the day. Actually I might still have it. Anyway, it shipped with the game "Black & White" where you control a hand inside a 3D world to interact with your god-avatar. It was really cool... Except you ended up very tired in your hand/arm from holding it outstretched all the time.
It was where the glove shined honestly and I really wish more games has proper support for it, but just like with most people this video didn't do the glove justice :(
VR, inside out Tracking. Like on the Quest. You can just use your hands. Dont need the controller all the time. And VR has been fine for like over 6 years. Only the really needy people want a ultimate Experience( what you need to use insane 💲💲💲 on) standalone like Quest 2&3 is amazing and cheap.
For the negcon, i found that if you operated it like you were holding a steering wheel, it would twist correctly for the amount you were turning the 'wheel'. I had it primarily for wipeout and gran turismo, you still needed to get muscle memory to make the most of it but as you say, at the time there was no equivalent, no analogue anything.
Racing down Spilskinanke on the hardest setting in Wipeout 2097 with Firestarter as the soundtrack will forever be my favourite gaming moment of all time. There's absolutely no way I could have finished that game on the hardest mode without my Negcon. What a fantastic controller it was and just infinitely superior to the standard joypad
I feel like you guys have seriously levelled up your productions lately and I am loving it. Maybe it's a result of the refocusing, maybe it's just improvement, doesn't matter, I am enjoying it so much anyway. The smoother transitions, the extra mile jokes, the sponsor spots, the embellishments and retries when needed. Sick!
I had a NeGcon back in the day. They weren't a high end item - you could find them in any EB store. I don't remember the exact MSRP sorry but I would say about 40-50 bucks? They actually weren't as good as you would think. Ridge Racer et al were all designed to play well with standard non analog controllers. So by playing with a Negcon I actually found it harder to drive because now I had to do a full rotation movement to do a hard turn rather than tap a button. It ended up being kind of a gimmick and I guess that's why the design never took off. Still was a very innovative idea for its time though.
I disagree entirely. If you really spent time honing your skills on the Negcon (as I did), it was FAR superior to the standard controller. It was better than the Dual Shock as well.
@@Afrotechmods It's a bit like the really advanced racing games. You start by driving the regular cars in default config, but with time you start getting frustrated as the top gamers post amazing times and you can't get anywhere near those times. So you start screwing around with individual suspension adjustment for each wheel, adjust the pressure in each wheel depending on the track, the surface and the weather, change the gears, you generally tweak everything and hey presto, you suck just as bad. Then you finally realize that the top gamers doesn't have hundreds of hours in the game but thousands. And they document everything every single thing analyzing the results. And finally you realize that you have a real life, not only several thousand hours to spend on a advanced game claiming to be a simulator. Been there. The advanced games trying to simulate everything are interesting but far from easy. Sometimes an arcade racer can be more fun, especially when playing with friends who also have a real life. Same with controllers the advanced controllers are nice, no joke. But they also tend to be real expensive and so advanced that if you don't plan to put at least a thousand hours into a very good simulator/game they are way overkill. And for the arcade racer they might even be worse than a control pad. Get what controller and game/simulator you want. But don't think that a better (more expensive) controller will automatically make you a better gamer.
Imo the NeG is the superior option for almost every game that supports it. It'll take a little while to rewire your brain to stop thinking about it as a PS controller, and to treat it more like an RC car controller. It's not always my first choise of controller, but i've gotten much faster times on all games i've tried it on. Though, there is one game i would never play without the NeG, that being Ridge Racer Type 4. That game works absolutely flawless with it, and seeing how badly they nerfed the controls on regular controllers, no thank you. If i can't use a NeG, i'm not playing R4
11:33 4,480 yen! This one was tough to find! Even on Namco's archived product page for the controller, the field for the price was empty! However, I found a photo online of a box with a price sticker of 4,480 yen on it, so I assume that's the original price. The age of the sticker seems to indicate this!
"open door by tapping" is probably meant to say "open door by tapping X" where X is the key bind, but the game can't pull the names for the glove inputs so it's blank. I don't think it means to tap your hand.
Theres a great video about the negicon on james' channel. Linus used it kinda wrong. You were meant to turn your hands like youre on a steering wheel, and then the controller would naturally flex to translate that movement into the steering of the game.
13:33 You got the versions wrong, the NeGcon with the sweeping shoulder buttons is the Version 1, the one with the flatter shoulder buttons is the 2nd version. I own all 3.
I love when you let Dennis do the sponsor segments, he has so much fun with it and you're not losing any advertising power. If anything you get a higher viewer retention because of how fun he makes it.
I got one of those NagCon controllers around 1998 give or take a year, and it was on sale for about $50CAD after taxes, I believe original price was either $64.99 or 69.99+tx CAD.

I could be wrong overall though, since I only have one graphics tablet and don't constantly change out or peer at other models and brands. I bought one, it was cheap, and it works
I had the NegCon back in the 90's. Absolutely LOVED it! My favourite game was Rapid Racer, a boat racing game. The controller had a bit of a learning curve, but once you figured it out, you were unstoppable. I don't remember the cost.
18:17 Japanese Train_Sim: 15sec late and you are dead If the game was made by the Germans Train company aka #deutschebahn one day late, its totally in time bro
If you do another one of these, I recommend seeking out the Sega Genesis Activator, the Taiko drums, the PS2 Final Fantasy gun controllers, and the Nintendo 64 glove.
The best part of the NeGcon is that it was the defacto standard for racing games. So even if you never owned one, if you ever bought a PSX steering wheel or used the "Steering Wheel" switch on a controller adapter, it was likely using the NeGcon protocol. Namco/Taito also used that protocol to make a paddle control for old pong-style games on Namco Museum and even Taito's Puchi Carat.
I remember that jank glove from junior high. Our school just got an East Lab program and threw money at a bunch of "cutting edge tech" like that glove. It sat on a shelf and never got used for more than a few minutes of students playing with it.
Man, I played so much Densha De Go when I was a kid, but the arcade. The controllers were basically the same but bigger, to be more realistic, and the cabinet was just like you were on a real train 😂😂
Im pretty sure that first controller "mouse" is supposed to be used with the hand sitting on a flat surface linus really needs to read the manual if he is going to be reviewing stuff for the masses. If you do it wrong then of course you will think it sucks.
When Linus was trying out the Racing controller and making a car sound, an actual car with loud exhaust syncs perfectly with the sound he made even with the shifting or turbo sound.
Fine choice on the NeGcon, its the finest controller for the classic Wipeout series on the PS, specially XL and 3, records were made with that controller that haven't been surpassed even with analog sticks and other devices that appeared later, i even started buying a few of them at ridiculously low prices because there wasn't that much of a demand outside of japan. Besides the finer control and way more stable (the analog sticks are not very), the fact that you can separate the steering from the nose pitch up and down was key on those games, and the wide range of precise reactions (you could move a millimeter or flick to the steering cap with relative precision, if you set the sensitivity and end of steering way before the end of the twist). Its my favorite "unorthodox" controller yet.
I still have my 2 Negcon controllers from the PS1 days. There was a bit of a learning curve, but Linus is right, once you got used to it, it was good. Really, really good in fact. None of my friends had a chance of beating me in racing games, even when the Dual Analog/Dual Shock controllers were released. It was shockingly accurate in properly optimised games like Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo etc. And that dead zone could be customized, at least in some games.
This is the first time I actually checked if the head writer is listed in the description. I really like the intro and transitions and everything else in here. Well done, unknown LTT writer!
Its quite funny to see that CTA Digital has come a long way since making that wii bowling controller, however their new product "Rolling Medical Workstation" has the same issue, where its advertised as a full work station, but needs you to put in a laptop or Ipad.
It was funny how you dressed up and redid (a little be of it at least) the scene in The Big Lebowski where we meet Jesus Quintana plaued by John Turturro.
I had the p5 glove when I was a kid, I actually had a great experience with it!!! was pretty cool at the time to be able to hold 3 fingers closed (shape your hand like a gun) then tilt my hand left or right to peek around corners and just "pull the trigger". Also there was a game called Black and White that worked very well with the glove, was designed for it as far as I know, completely gesture controlled god game, made sense since you controlled a glove on the screen. The glove worked a lot more consistent for me than it seems it has for you lol
The NegCon was revolutionary in its day prior to Analogue sticks. It was also more accessible to people that didnt have fine motor skills with their thumbs after analogue sticks came out. But speaking of weird controllers, has Linus reviewed the Razer Hydra?
2:31 Seeing this Bending data thing, this makes me think that this could be a really cool way to get finger tracking for VR/VTubing purposes on a budget (or if for some ungodly reason you purchased it at that time for full price), if there was a way to get access to that data without the... less good "mouse controlling" parts. I see the potential of this thing at least, even if it was pretty terrible for the use cases of its time.
That jittery mouse movement with the hand controller is the same experience I have had with any non-microsoft controller I've ever tried to use with Windows. Whether it was a name brand like Logitec or some cheap joystick. I eventually gave up ever trying to play games on a PC other than using a mouse and keyboard.
5:35 It looks like the keybind for opening the door was missing, it should say "You can open the door by tapping (key). That's why there's a space between "tapping" and the period at the end of the sentence, there's supposed to be a keybind there.

@@MR-vg7yn They do have some more epxsive models, but I bought one for £50 and it's great. £10 more than other brands that haven't been very good at all, for a fully functioning product. I could be wrong overall though, since I only have one graphics tablet and don't constantly change out or peer at other models and brands. I bought one, it was cheap, and it works
I love these old peripherals videos. It’s a nice throwback to when gaming tech really was the wild west.
one of my favorite video intros and sponsor spots so far
I had the NegCon back in the 90's. Absolutely LOVED it!
My favourite game was Rapid Racer, a boat racing game.
The controller had a bit of a learning curve, but once you figured it out, you were unstoppable.
I don't remember the cost.
18:30 Still les delay than the Deutsche Bahn 🤣😭
I love how happy Jordan is in these videos. He takes the video from a 10 to a solid 12.
21:02 Its not a concealed pocket if YOU PUT A MASSIVE LABEL RIGHT AT THE OPENING
It says tear away
You can still see the stitching. It’s also right in the front when you open it
The end sponsor spot was great! Great transition!
18:17 Japanese Train_Sim:
15sec late and you are dead
If the game was made by the Germans Train company aka #deutschebahn
one day late, its totally in time bro
>15sec late and you are dead
That is reality, people died because of that mentality (Amagasaki derailment).
11:38 Live in Japan. MSRP was about 5,000JPY(4,800or4,980JPY I think). Was not popular so you could often find deals. I loved it.
9:40 nostalgia hits hard ngl
Hoooow?!?!? you commented this 2 minutes after release???
The experiment was fun albeit a bit frustrating. Goes to show that some ideas are better left at the concept stage.
@0:04
I'm the mother lovin jesús... now f'n roll 😂
The train bit was amazing. Seems like a great party and drinking game!
That first one is exactly how it felt to try playing Kinect games in the early 2010s.
If you do another one of these, I recommend seeking out the Sega Genesis Activator, the Taiko drums, the PS2 Final Fantasy gun controllers, and the Nintendo 64 glove.

Well thats just, like, your opinion, man
The best part of the NeGcon is that it was the defacto standard for racing games. So even if you never owned one, if you ever bought a PSX steering wheel or used the "Steering Wheel" switch on a controller adapter, it was likely using the NeGcon protocol.
Namco/Taito also used that protocol to make a paddle control for old pong-style games on Namco Museum and even Taito's Puchi Carat.
never getting on a train driven by Linus 🤣
Jordan and Elijah are some of my favourite people at LMG, please more of them!!
Now that's what I call, PLAYING WITH POWER!!!
Videos like this just make me wish Linus would collab with LGR one day
I see Big Lebowski reference - I press like!
Watching you try to do the most basic of tasks with that glove was hilarious. I know how frustrating that must've been.
0:40 is it just me or does this seem like a anti-depression medication commercial from like 1980-2000
I remember that jank glove from junior high. Our school just got an East Lab program and threw money at a bunch of "cutting edge tech" like that glove. It sat on a shelf and never got used for more than a few minutes of students playing with it.
Linus... Blink twice if you need help💀
Linus, that mouse glove is a great excercise for badminton :P Keep that racquet high!
I wonder if LTT has covered any Nintendo Labo things before... but time to watch and research later I guess lol
ruclips.net/video/sXGWomuz5a0/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Pretty sure this is the only video they did
@Naith123 That's fantastic, thanks for sharing
Production quality trough the roof! Holy $HIT the intro was amazing!🎉
19:32 this is not a game brother
No no this is real life😅
Man, I played so much Densha De Go when I was a kid, but the arcade. The controllers were basically the same but bigger, to be more realistic, and the cabinet was just like you were on a real train 😂😂
Tell me is there a glove-controller?
Update : there is one 🎉
Update 2 : the glove-controller really sucks
HAHAHA the rain part for Ridge was 11/10!
Im pretty sure that first controller "mouse" is supposed to be used with the hand sitting on a flat surface linus really needs to read the manual if he is going to be reviewing stuff for the masses. If you do it wrong then of course you will think it sucks.
why would the sensor be so tall if it was meant to be used on desk¿?
I absolutely love the big Lebowski tribute. A+ team.
Thanks for yet another awesome video! Didn't expect to end it with an epic sponsorshot!
When Linus was trying out the Racing controller and making a car sound, an actual car with loud exhaust syncs perfectly with the sound he made even with the shifting or turbo sound.
I loved this video. This gave more AVGN vibes than current AVGN. It felt like I was going through the learning processes with Linus.
Fine choice on the NeGcon, its the finest controller for the classic Wipeout series on the PS, specially XL and 3, records were made with that controller that haven't been surpassed even with analog sticks and other devices that appeared later, i even started buying a few of them at ridiculously low prices because there wasn't that much of a demand outside of japan.
Besides the finer control and way more stable (the analog sticks are not very), the fact that you can separate the steering from the nose pitch up and down was key on those games, and the wide range of precise reactions (you could move a millimeter or flick to the steering cap with relative precision, if you set the sensitivity and end of steering way before the end of the twist).
Its my favorite "unorthodox" controller yet.
that intro sponsor read was epic, one of the best I've seen to date!
I still have my 2 Negcon controllers from the PS1 days. There was a bit of a learning curve, but Linus is right, once you got used to it, it was good. Really, really good in fact. None of my friends had a chance of beating me in racing games, even when the Dual Analog/Dual Shock controllers were released. It was shockingly accurate in properly optimised games like Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo etc. And that dead zone could be customized, at least in some games.
This is the first time I actually checked if the head writer is listed in the description. I really like the intro and transitions and everything else in here. Well done, unknown LTT writer!
It's Jordan, the chap on screen
@@Metal_Maxine Thanks. I should have figured that out and guessed as much.
So, well done, Jordan, if you stumble across this!
I can see how the bowling ball would help gameplay, the added weight and shape would make it more natural to those that actually bowl
Just want to shout out Kendrick's editing, it was totally awesome!
Its quite funny to see that CTA Digital has come a long way since making that wii bowling controller, however their new product "Rolling Medical Workstation" has the same issue, where its advertised as a full work station, but needs you to put in a laptop or Ipad.
It was funny how you dressed up and redid (a little be of it at least) the scene in The Big Lebowski where we meet Jesus Quintana plaued by John Turturro.
I had the p5 glove when I was a kid, I actually had a great experience with it!!! was pretty cool at the time to be able to hold 3 fingers closed (shape your hand like a gun) then tilt my hand left or right to peek around corners and just "pull the trigger". Also there was a game called Black and White that worked very well with the glove, was designed for it as far as I know, completely gesture controlled god game, made sense since you controlled a glove on the screen. The glove worked a lot more consistent for me than it seems it has for you lol
The bring my shuttle line was so cool. We'd have to wait so long to see Vader clearly angry ever again. Put it back!
The NegCon was revolutionary in its day prior to Analogue sticks. It was also more accessible to people that didnt have fine motor skills with their thumbs after analogue sticks came out.
But speaking of weird controllers, has Linus reviewed the Razer Hydra?
2:31 Seeing this Bending data thing, this makes me think that this could be a really cool way to get finger tracking for VR/VTubing purposes on a budget (or if for some ungodly reason you purchased it at that time for full price), if there was a way to get access to that data without the... less good "mouse controlling" parts. I see the potential of this thing at least, even if it was pretty terrible for the use cases of its time.
That jittery mouse movement with the hand controller is the same experience I have had with any non-microsoft controller I've ever tried to use with Windows. Whether it was a name brand like Logitec or some cheap joystick. I eventually gave up ever trying to play games on a PC other than using a mouse and keyboard.
The Big Lebowski reference is amazing ❤️❤️
genuinely my favourite ridge ad good job you guys hahaha
"Do we have a props department!?"
Do you want one? I been looking at moving up north 👀
As a left handed person I thought the first one would be a nightmare for lefties... But now I'm relieved it's a nightmare in all cases xD
