  • The nail polish racks for displaying Gameboy cartridges is genius!
  • 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!
  • @DerivitivFilms
    I LOVED the NES MAX, I used the hell out of that controller! Especially on Megaman and Ninja Gaiden
  • @thederkaderka
    This channel genuinely provides a service to the retro game community and the production is top notch. Thank you for everything you do.
  • @thelanecampbell
    I’m an NES Max fan. It was my goto controller growing up. There must be dozens of us.
  • @namuzed
    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.
  • @neilcoronado684
    NES max was my favorite controller. It was perfect for the NES ice hockey game. :)
  • @Poever
    I hope we’re clearing the runway for that long anticipated First Party Controllers #3 video, for everything Xbox 360-era onwards
  • The Duke felt perfect with Halo 1.. that controller was perfection when it comes to FPS games. My hands are a little big.. so maybe it's just me
  • @xman2k2
    MLIG are getting in on the Remaster craze
  • @Stefan_Payne
    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.
  • @twitchykun
    5:23 - I've got a real urge to pop in Robowarrior, thanks for using that clip
  • @sodagrump9285
    These are getting me through my work day! Great stuff!
  • @johnnycang
    That first 3 button Genesis controller was a revelation. Gotta give it up.
  • 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.
  • @alomon7738
    man, it feels good when Artemio Urbina gets recognition in other countries
  • I just kinda woke up to this playing, but hey, I'm for it tbh. Also, I hope I'm as cool as these 2 dudes when I get to their age
  • @henryblazer20
    You guys put so much effort and love into these videos. Thank you
