@@85wastedyears Doesn’t seem like they’re doing anything different than most other full time youtubers who aren’t in the controversy courting view farming genre. Pretty much every RUclipsr with a notable sub count gets sponsors and those who have patreon tell you about their patreon, it’s how they make money. Don’t see how 90 seconds that you can skip (and that is marked on the video bar so you know exactly where to skip to) and a reminder of a voluntary way you can support them if you want is “shilling and begging”
TBH, I have no intention of ever getting a mouse for a console. But...Derek’s quirky passion and utterly awesome insanity is contagious AF. Always puts me in a good mood! Hell, I could listen to him ranting for three hours about the Dreamcast fishing controller. 😎
I have the PlayStation Mouse (mostly because I share Derek's enthusiasm for controllers) and I have to say: The games that were designed to use a mouse work really really well with it. Too bad it's only so few, though.
I had fun trying the n64 mouse with smash bros when I went to PRGE 2018 (I wore the Mario Cappy Hat). I hope you can continue this when it is safe to go outside again.
I just noticed that was Sonic Blast Man on the title screen of Bust a Move 99. Now there's an idea for a Literal Punching Weight episode. Once the world stops being scary maybe you should go find a working arcade, just be sure it's not the literal hand breaking model. Hopefully the two console games won't be hard to find.
Thank you for these videos, I really enjoy the enthusiasm and it’s inspired myself and others to continue collecting but celebrate the awesome and weird. I Swear I think of this channel every time I see a copy of OG Doom in the wild
Absolutely love the positivity from Uncle Derek and Producer Grace. Good luck in this new year, and I hope for the best for you all (puppers included) in 2021 cuz we all want more videos that celebrate the weird and awesome.
"You of course think... Fighting Force 64!" One of many laughs I had in this episode! Great video; really cool to see you tested the mice with so many different games!
Uncle Derek!! I played Smash with the mouse at your RetroWorld Expo panel in 2019! Tons of fun surprisingly, awesome content as always fam, can't wait to see what else you got in store for 2021!
Thank you for continuing to create such unique and esoteric video game content. Being a life long gamer I have often wondered what it would be like to experience the various video game edge cases that exist and this channel seems to hunt down and preserve the experiences for all of us. Keep up the incredible work, you are a true video game historian. (You refers to the team I know you are both very much involved in these videos.)
Ive been watching you on and off since you were the happy video game nerd and I gotta say Im glad you've been consistently positive and inspired, keep it up.
Imagine Nintendo produces Switch Mouses and Derek says immediately: "I will buy 100!" Grace: "No, you won't!" Derek *almost cries* Grace: *sights* "Fine. You can buy 25. But not one more!"
11:15 Derek is clearly giving the "thumbs up" hand gesture in this drawing, meaning that he is more than okay being half buried in mice. His plea to Grace for help is obviously for MORE MICE.
I worked for a retro game import store before Corona f’ed everything up, we actually managed to find not only a 64 mouse, but a semi-complete disc drive set. We were missing 2 of the DD games, but it had the mouse, F-Zero, Mario Artist, etc. Someone’s grandma in rural japan accidentally sold it to the company for $50 since she didn’t know what it was, though we tried to reach out and get her more money for it. It was really neat to mess around w the F-Zero track editor at least!
10:00 "It's not a FPS. It's a FP... B. First Person Birding (Birding Simulator). First Person Bird Beacon. It's its own thing." (BIRD, The Full Birding Action Experience for N64)
To answer your sneaky hidden question, yes, I have always referred to it as "Star Wars Episode 1 Racer." There were some other games that had podracing that came out after it too, so wouldn't want to get them mixed up, but I'm sure I always called it by its full and proper name, because apparently I was a pedant, even as a little baby gamer.
Also, on the subject, I played it on PC, on a big beige Dell Windows 98 tower, never knowing it was an N64 game. For many years after I tried to run it on newer PCs, and it never ran, so when I found out it was on the N64, I turned to emulators (this being before the PC version was remastered a few years ago). It turns out there are actually some not-insubstantial differences between the PC and N64 versions of the game, including some of their rendering processes. On the surface they look very similar, but seeing as you're into this kind of weird minutiae like I am, you might be interested in looking into it, though I'm not sure it warrants an episode. Still, that game will always have a place in my heart, and I'm glad we're now able to play it again on modern systems.
Thank you Mouse Maestro! I'd be completely down for an episode of the best NES games (emulated on the N64 with an Everdrive 64) using a mouse. Naysayers may scoff at the emulation, but it simply begs to be done! Also, the ED64 can emulate a fair number of Gameboy and Gamegear games. Few buttons on the original systems might mean a whole lot more compatibility with the mice.
"Git gud bro.", sounds just like Grace. ^_^ Thanks and cool to see you try everything out with it because we are all curious. Ah Goldeneye worked pretty good in a dual way. Dual mice nah, oh wait there is a use for that wow. Yeah nothing surprising there, not a lot of dual controller or twin-stick on most game consoles unfortunately. :\ No, send him at least two more N64 mice. ;)
I am so happy I randomly stumbled onto SSFF around the time of Bloodstained Curse of the Moon's release. You're a bright spot any time I see your face, Derek. And Grace, too! But I will absolutely fight you on the dumb games and cute dogs bit. My poison is cats, and I will go to my grave surrounded by purring!
I love that Matt is being successful and all but I can't lie, every time I see someone mention him or do a cameo, the void that the Super Best Friends break up left in me still hurts.
The Elmendorf BX arcade had the full sit down Podracer game when I lived there, with the dual throttles for acceleration/turning. Interesting way to play
I've been waiting for this episode ever since I saw the title of the dual analog stick episode. Two controllers just wasn't dumb enough for Uncle Derek.
Great vid as usual but I could not take my eyes off the little yellow ROB the Robot Banker on the shelf in the background. One of RadioShack's best products for sure!
Dual mouse pod racing? (mice, meese, mouses, mousii, or whatever) Banjo Tooie peck-'em-up? Mouse only Smash Bros? That's... just... dumb. 😂 Keep up the madness Uncle Derek! Glad you're back. I wonder if some form of elaborate controller port splitter could allow you to run a controller and mouse off the same "player" for Command And Conquer? Or mod a controller to have a trackball?
I'm still waiting on that Doom source port Punching Weight episode. I mean, people have ported Doom to be played on a graphing calculator, car navigation, to be controlled by a piano, a toaster, and so much more. Yes, all these ports exist.
@@LieseFury his content is pretty shirty tho, basically the same as cinema sins. Talks shit about people all day because he can't create content himself I guess 🤷♂️
The 3DO existed. Wolfenstein 3D was on it. Ya typed Wolf3D to start'er up in DOS. That stands for Disk Operating System. Window XP only came on CDs so it was a Disc Operating System. I think Phillip had a CDI. He drew Zelda cartoons with it that said "Mah Boy"

But how much more ridiculous can the outfit become???
@@Cyram_JamTheOttoman Get him Power Gloves, and a cape made of DDR Mats.
Alright Derek, you’ve convinced me. I’m an engineer - I’ll get an N64 mouse and add buttons to it. Give me like a month or two, okay?
How's that project coming along?
Any news on this project?
Thank you Patreons and Matt McMuscles for enabling our Uncle Derek.
@@85wastedyears did uncle Derek touch you in your nono 🥺
"we can barely move, or we can barely move Together", well that sums quarantine for most of us
I love Punching Weight so much. I wish I had some dumb peripheral to send in for an episode.
I had fun trying the n64 mouse with smash bros when I went to PRGE 2018 (I wore the Mario Cappy Hat). I hope you can continue this when it is safe to go outside again.
2021 is my year too ! What a coïncidence !
Ah tiens !
I'm sitting this one out and going for '22
I just started the video but I really hope to see StarCraft64 here!
Watching your videos always gives me the feeling of a kid waking up on Saturday morning, with nothing to do but play videogames

Oh hell yes. This is the content humanity needs in these times.
Start watching videos on how to build and work a wood fuel gassifier, youre going to need that content soon
Hey Derek, just wanna say thank you for all you do man :)
Derek and Grace. Grace and Derek. Tremendous work here guys. Yall were firing on all cylinders on this one. Loved it. Take care.

I don't know why but dual mouse has really got me laughing. The idea of playing a game with two mice is just hilarious to me
If it's being mentioned like this, I wonder how the mice would play F-Zero X with multiplayer, lol.
Absolutely love the positivity from Uncle Derek and Producer Grace. Good luck in this new year, and I hope for the best for you all (puppers included) in 2021 cuz we all want more videos that celebrate the weird and awesome.
It's pretty crazy that there are tons of consoles now that natively support mice via usb, but the feature hardly ever gets used.
Even android phones - get and otg cable and boom. Cursor on your screen.
Just think use graphic tablet on console. Idk what drawing app on console
2021, the Year of Uncle Derek - I’m for it! Best of luck to you and awesome video as always!
"You of course think... Fighting Force 64!" One of many laughs I had in this episode! Great video; really cool to see you tested the mice with so many different games!
Hyperkin needs to make an optical version of this like they did the snes mouse
just wanted to let you know, you are truly one of the best video game channels on youtube at the moment. keep up the good work I love the videos
I have never felt so proud to be a patron supporter. Those mice are a symbol of great power and a testament to the awesomeness of SSFF :)
Y'all make the content i need in my life, thank YOU for staying powerful
Derek, your joy is so infectious. Thank you (and Grace!) for these wonderful videos, watching them always makes my day.

Thanks for showing off such odd peripherals (for its time) and the bonus dogs at the end :D
6:56 - Woah, woah, woah, woah... that dual N64 controller. What in the actual what?!
A few people have built them, they’re intended for stuff like Perfect Dark but they don’t always work perfectly.
This is my favorite show out there! So happy
Ive been watching you on and off since you were the happy video game nerd and I gotta say Im glad you've been consistently positive and inspired, keep it up.
Imagine Nintendo produces Switch Mouses and Derek says immediately:
"I will buy 100!"
Grace: "No, you won't!"
Derek *almost cries*
Grace: *sights* "Fine. You can buy 25. But not one more!"
2021 was the year I discovered Uncle Derek and (Aunty) Grace so it's already the best year :D
Welcome to the skelefam!
What a nice message you left in the Star Wars text part.
Great video, thank you guys! Glad to see the love for Banjo-Tooie!
No matter how many times you move, the FBI will eventually find you
I have never seen an episode the minute it was released. HERE WE GO MORE MOUSE!
I'd really enjoy a "wah happun" to HVGN and the catalyst for the death of HVGN is "and then I sent Derek an N64 mouse."
"I mean...we could barely move. But we could barely move...TOGETHER."
Coop makes everything better people. Everything.
11:15 Derek is clearly giving the "thumbs up" hand gesture in this drawing, meaning that he is more than okay being half buried in mice. His plea to Grace for help is obviously for MORE MICE.
Come on Retro-bit, MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Derek I spent too long trying to read that title crawl.
Here’s the comment I was looking for
Great energy! Really took it to a next lvl, great jib
I feel like I’ve failed as a human. I had no idea the N64 had a mouse.
Your enthusiasm is *infectious*!
