Dual Shock 4 gets my vote. at least the The Wi-Fi USB did what it was meant to do.

My DS4 controllers are my least used controllers ever and they're in fucking horrible condition.

You can actually plug this into your computer and use it natively with dolphin. There are also drivers made for it that mount the gcn controllers as dinput or xinput controllers.

It's too bad not more games support it on the wii u, but for using gcn controllers on a pc, you won't do much better.

There's nothing wrong with the device itself, it's just buttfucking retarded for it to only work for one game.

I remember when that thing was released, too bad for nintendo I already talked my parents into getting a wrt54g instead. Funny enough nintendo's adhoc dongle was almost as much if not as much money as an actual router.

At least it still had a purpose, if you want actual garbage accessories, just look at some of the nes, snes, and gameboy accessories.

That's all it does. Sure it might work fine for that, but what's the point of releasing a special controller for just a single game that can be played perfectly okay with a standard Wii U controller?

>>338277472

I also hated the lack of spring in the zapper trigger

It relied entirely on your Wii's B button spring, which after being pushed on by the clunky zapper trigger, barely functioned properly. It had such a shitty feeling. Triggers should feel snappy and responsive, not squishy and weak like that goddamn spring-less zapper

Also you'd think it would be fun to use with the Prime Trilogy but it was fucking shit.

They managed to make a great peripheral and fuck it all up because of how they implemented it.

The Wii U had backwards compatibility and lots of Wii games supported GC controllers but no, just ONE SINGLE GAME.

I really can't fathom why they wouldn't at least let us use it for VC games. It's the comfiest controller known to man aside from the button layout.

I wanted one back then because there were so many GBA games I wanted to play but didn't have a gba, this was a cheaper option, of course, you could emulate gba perfectly back then, but my PC was shit. (VERY shit)

Either way, I never got it since I got a GBA.

found an actual capture and it looks and sounds as bad as you'd expect from some compressed to hell video runnning at 240x160 or less.

Ps move is gonna comeback since PS VR use it
as for hardware, the move was a much better realization of the same tech Nintendo used on the WiiMote, only retarded thing was the Navi support controller having no motion sensors so it was impossible to just copy and paste wii games to the PS3

Arguably motion controls.

Hey, someone's gotta experiment.

The lag is a well-known issue and speed runners probably don't have much choice in the way of recording GBA games.

I'm playing on a CRT too so that can't be it.

>>338283350
exactly my thought, please tell me it had subtitles

Remember the Nintendo DS internet browser?
>>
>>338282969
According to the description, it sounds like this Sonic X had 40 minutes of video (so 2 episodes)
Shrek1+2 would be 180 minutes of video, so it'd have to be way worse, right?

>>338283365
still looking for some decent shrek video

heres the cartoon network one,

the Japanese camera had a UMD with custom camera software, tons of filters and image processing and shitloads of shutter noises, one being the most realistic cat sound that would make any dog nearby some cat was in heat and vulnerable

>>
>>338283806
hey, I used to fap in the bathroom while reading doujins on that. Worth the expense just for that.

Then I bought a fucking psp and never went back.

The memory expansion was a nice anti-dust cover for the gba slot though, since it didn't stick out from the console like gba games did

Wait, what? You think Nintendo invented touch screen gaming?
>>
>>338281618
I sorta admire the Gameboy Camera for being a ton of people's first cameras. The quality's sort of charming, too.
Kind of funny how after 15+ years Nintendo's camera technology hasn't inched forward that much comparatively.

not that bad either, imagine being a kid in 2003 and having to endure through a 3 hours ride; it must have been pretty cool having these. Too bad they costed a shitton for just a couple of episodes

>>338284281
Some could argue they popularized touch screens with the DS

How Nintendo didn't think to make this compatible with Wii games, which the WiiU can play natively, I will never know. Hell, we could've had Gamecube VC support with this fucker.

Cell phone games popularized it my man.

Circle Pad Pro is pretty good too
At least for the regular 3DS
>>
>>338285005
Nah, PSP had some decent multimedia capabilities unlike most of Nintendo's handhelds up to that point. UMD video seemed like a logical choice.
>>
>>338285020
the DS predates the iPhone (which popularized touch screens on phones) by 3 years, my man.
>>
>>338285005
Considering Sony made CDs (i think) and DVDs, that's why they thought that was a good idea.
>>
>>338284713
just wish we would've got the Super Game Boy 2 here, that shit's fantastic
>>
>>338285005
PSP was actually pretty decent for watching movies actually.

UMDs were shit for games, for sure, but good for movies on the go.

Nintendo always go full retard when it comes to online

I was a kid in '03 and I had a couple of those carts. I had one of these though, so it wasn't a big deal to me to have one of these in and two games on the side to actually play.

I have Silent Hill in UMD, its a pretty decent video format, the resolution is quite good, same goes for the audio and video stream
Its like something way better than a VCD/Laserdisk, but not quite a DVD

Loads of FMV echi and porn games on it since sony didn't care about the video content on those

I bought that for like $10 along with a bunch of $1 HDDVDs. The drive itself has been super handy to have since modern laptops don't often come with disc drives these days.

eBay and they cost a fortune. Just invest in a way to run .dol files and then grab that one homebrew that uses the Gameboy Player but fixes all the problems the Nintendo disk had.

Stupid choices with their OS and security.

They literally couldn't do it for GC games - doing so would've made a security hole in WiiU mode - Nintendo couldn't allow that.

MK8 though, that's just laziness/money.

Were early 2000's the Golden Age of Autism?
Pokemon, Shrek, Sonic, GBA, Spongebob, Teen Titans, Yu-gi-oh, early browser games...no wonder people grew all fucked up.

Sonic X is possibly the most similar property to Michael Bay's Transformers when it comes to the plot. It only needs confusing CGI and Linkin Park to be a perfect replica.
