Shouldn’t your hands be all wrinkly or something?

Is there an extension cable involved!? Fabulous.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 months ago
From THAT distance? I don’t see why there would be. The most inaccurate thing about the NES Classic was it’s rediculously short cable.
The original was like "Hey, want enough cable to throw out your window, into your neighbors house, and they play from their bedroom? WE GOT YOU!!!
I’m exaggerating quite a bit, but it helps paint the difference between 80s and 2010s.

You should check out an original Famicom, then. Not only are the controller cables only about three feet long, but they’re also permanently affixed to the console. Well, unless you’re willing to dismantle it, anyway.
It seems Nintendo expected gamers to keep the console in front of them and connected to the TV via a cable running across the floor, rather than our now familiar methodology of keeping the console under or next to the TV and only bringing the controller(s) with you. The limited amount of space in Japanese households may have also had something to do with it.
Anyway, if you’re a modern western gamer nowadays it’s annoying as hell. Big N made the right choice when they brought the system to the US in not only making the controller cables significantly longer, but also unpluggable.

Maybe not that long, but they were long enough. We didn’t have 70" HD screens back then, and if you sat further back than 3’ you couldn’t see shit!

Came here expecting to see a power glove. Am disappointed.
I love the Power Glove… It’s so baaaaaad.

Your posts make me jealous. I wish we were friends.

I don’t see a Power Glove. You’re only at maybe 10% total power without the Power Glove. It has THAT much power.

Its no coincidence that the 80s was the decade of greed and indulgence, and it was the same decade the power glove was released, but never replicated.

had one as a kid, it was terrible even by kid standards. I used to pretend to be a cyborg cop with it and my gray light gun though.
