You can post any random NES shit and it'll fit this thread
>>12069393
>>12069425Nah, that's the jogcon.
>>12069429People say this is unironically good for Ridge Racer
>>12069440Wut?
>>12069425This controller rules.
>>12069614Ahhh yes. Ol' Leisure Suit Larry 7
>>12069440lol, that's pretty clever
>>12069614Cybersniff 2000.... *Sniiiiiiifff*
>>12069393PGlove
>>12069450It's ok, I think it's more fun to use it but I dunno about calling it good.
>>12069393Slugs
>>12069425This was actually based though
People always shit on the powerglove but forget the other NES meme controller.
>>12070361Both this and the powerglove used boxing games for advertising. "Punch the air!"
>>12069393>the mech console.someone should grill microsoft for the schematics for they can make an opensauce driver for this, to work with any game/platform.
>>12070361>>12070367All things considered the uforce worked better but was stupid expensive due to the IR LED emitters and recievers.
>>12069393I think it's still a cool idea, would like to see some kind of modern mouse/keyboard alternative like this
>>12070613My cousin had this. Gave him a confined space to tard out for awhile.
I remember when I was a kid there was some kind of game/video thing where you had a toy spaceship lightgun thing and you played a VHS tape where you had to shoot red spots on enemies. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
>here's your controller bro
>>12070674This was kino as a preteen. I remember playing the ninja game and the fireworks and soccer kick game and stuff. Very wholesome memories.
>>12069393>>12069425Not gimmicks
>>12069393The local shop has this CIB (actual CIB not that fake ass "oh it has the box" type shit from ebay) and includes the second game for $450. Should I go for it?
>>12069614imagine the smell
>>12070361>>12070421Did it work like a theremin or something?
>>12070763Why not? Probably has good resale value when you get sick of it
>>12070613At a Gattitown I went as a kid it had a Tekken game that could be played with a similar control style. It was a 2 dollars to play and fucking hard. I think it was Tekken 3.
>>12070886It's kinda like a Sega Activator, there's LEDs on the four corners of both panels that emit invisible infrared light which reflects off your hands back into the infrared receivers which are directly next to each IR LED. Gameplay modes vary depending on the switch configuration, some had analog control as IR can detect distance as well by determining the intensity of the reflected light (which is why calibrating the IR recievers is so important) but most games were played with the virtual gamepad configuration. The hinges were also quite fragile...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHM1I8wgtc
>>12069614Forgot about that one
>>12069425>>12069429>>12070601>here is your controller, bro, tier
>>12070674Good times
they had this thing on a shelf behind the counter at kaybee toys. i remember drooling over it but im sure it was just another lame piece of shit. plus anymore i always turn vibration off on my controllers anyway
>>12071429They're pretty cheap on ebay. Cool idea for the time though, a lot of people use similar devices for flightsim/racing sim (buttkicker).
>>12069395I wasn't allowed to have a game system as a kid except a Vectrex we had at our lake house. I had a home computer. So anyway I saw the ads for this when it came out and I was astounded. One of my buddies got one not long after it came out and I went to his house and was like "Oh can we play with the robot?" And he rolled his eyes and was like "fine." It sucked so hard that I kind of hated all robots ever since. What a fucking letdown.
>>12071429How did this work, just a speaker inside the thing with a low pass filter?
>>12069614
>>12069393R&R
I remember always seeing an option for VFX support in Flight Unlimited and MW2 but never got to see it in action IRL. I'm kinda surprised nobody ever implemented support for it in DOSBox for those with modern VR setups.
>I want to install XBMC but I don't want to mod my Xbox or hurt Microsoft's feelings
I had one of these for like 2 days before returning it.
>>12072545Looks like a wheelchair control for someone who can't even sit upright.
>>12071429I had one of these and yes it was essentially >>12071673 a fucking speaker in a hard plastic backpack.After a few weeks I tried to take it back but they knew it was a piece of shit and wouldn't refund me so I pawned it for half of what my mother paid for it.
>>12069393That's a cute number of buttons compared to some of today's games that use the whole keyboard and then some, with modifiers and chording/layers
>>12070628Captain Power
>>12070763I would probably buy it for that much, but its also like the last game im looking for on the original Xbox. Pretty sure the 2nd game is online only though.
>>12071429I used one of these back in the day to blast my body with the boss music from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and it gave me a headache. Good times. I have two now, so I should try hooking it up so im wearing one on my back and one on my chest.
>>12071672>I wasn't allowed to have a game system as a kid except a VectrexFucking bad ass.
>>12072028I always wondered if this controller had one game on the NES that actually kinda made decent use of it, like Marble Madness. Even if you just set it down and used your hands like it was a giant track ball or something.
>>12072943No NES game supports any kind of analog input. The jp genesis version lets you use an upside down ball mouse to play though.
>>12072961im guessing its not whats typically considered traditional analog, but what about the NES Max controller? I know most people prefer that for games like Ice Hockey.
>>12073021>NES Max controllerIts just 4 direction buttons, same as everything else. A lot of people abandoned the fake analog and just pressed the black ring around it for more accurate direction control.
>>12072931That's it.I've been blanking on that for so many years. Cheers!
>>12070628>>12072931>>12073418i had the tape, from a mom's friend, but not the toy, so it was weird
>>12072961>analog
>>12072635Sounds about right.
>>12072063Wow I didn't even know this was a thing. I actually had an OG XBOX and a media center pc. 20 years ago. I would have loved to try it.
>>12070674Sony made a breathalyzer?
