PSS Super Mario Bros. 2 Versus The Retro Duo Controller 1/2

To elaborate on my suspicions about the Retro Duo Controller being a McDonalds Toy quality plastic piece of junk, I decide to take it for a spin in a game that I know ice cold and inside-out, Super Mario Bros. 2. =)

fuzzywzhe, get off my channel. You want to pick fights about Emulators and ROMs, go do it somewhere else. There are numerous reasons to still seek the original hardware that both myself and TheGamingGoose agree on, among other retro-gamers out there. Also, you're wrong on the wattage too. These newer retro players can use less power than a laptop loaded with ROMs. Getting an old game or system working is an achievement unto itself, which ROM nuts will never understand.

idiot SMB 1 is better then 2

What he said. :-P Ever heard of an opinion?

[fuzzywzhe]

Can the Retro Controller be replaced with any other controller? Does it have the same pinout of, say, the SNES 2?

I ask because my friend is INSISTING on buying this machine, and won't listen to me when I tell him to buy a Shuttle-X, install FreeDOS (or Linux), put an NES like paint job on the metal and buy a USB NES controller or 2.

I don't get this obsession with having to deal with a cartridge when an SDCARD will store all 800 of the games. I mean, welcome to this century.

I use SNES controllers on mine. I consider using the bundled cartridges a form of hard mode. :D

As far as dealing with cartridges goes, emulators are for wimps and you know it. :o)

Hello!

I praise the way you criticize the new generations easy-minded-influenced by wide media distribution: popular critics does not come to the reality most of the times.

Keep the true old spirit alive!

Cheers

I ended up buying oa Retro Duo. Even dug up an old 68cm CRT telly to play it on. Cartriges, including blowing the dust out brings back a sense of nostalgia.

I daresay he sinmply want to be temporarily transported back to his childhood as I do with all meories of the experience intact. What you're suggesting is too problem free, and to me, would detract from the overall experience.

He's right though, I have to replace these controllers. Makes playing Batman kind of interesting.

I find it kind of ridiculous how people diss this game for the stupidest reasons, too. I fail to see how a minor hack of the original game is any better than a hack of another game. I agree with you on gamers being pretentious and nitpicky these days, too. Nothing wrong with disliking a game, but at least have a good, legitimate reason that doesn't just blindly parrot everyone else first.

sm2 is Amazing!

I agree about SMB2. I grew up also knowing that this was the sequel. The important part of this game is that it's fun.

@rachet197 Super Mario 2 is awesome.

Nice video.

How do you record video game consoles?

[CougarLeonII]

Super Mario Advance was the first GBA game I actually owned.

It's still fun to play on either system.
