Lite Switch: Dec 17, 2025 | Analogue 3D Review

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
I don't know where my Genesis
could be.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,920
I haven't seen my Super Nintendo
since 2003.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,680
That's all right.
I don't mind.

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,800
I've got a Switch in the old
Switch room.

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:29,840
My friend Mike and Jaymo too.
Welcome back to the old

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,920
Switcheroo, where we're talking
gaming retro with Mike and Jamo.

7
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,240
I'm Mike.
And I'm Jamo in this episode of

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,080
the old Switcheroo Light Switch.
Instead of our normal focus on

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,880
the over 300 retro games
available in the Nintendo

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,280
Classics catalog, we are
reviewing a product that

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,600
threatens to pull the rug right
out from under us.

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,680
The newly released analog 3D
console which many are hailing

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,560
as the definitive way to play
Nintendo 64 games in modern

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640
times.

get all the gaming goodness
delivered just how you like it.

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,480
Now Mike, if you had to guess,
like percentage wise, how much

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,720
of the Nintendo 64's original
library do you think has

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,920
multiplayer of some kind?
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go just

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,520
a solid 5050, cuz I'm not.
Sure, more than that.

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,280
More than that you idiot.
No, it was a whopping 70% of the

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,800
original N64 library has
multiplayer, so I think it would

23
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,080
be criminal to talk about this
console and this new version of

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,880
the console with two players
only.

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Please welcome back to the show
Kyle from the invite only

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,680
Cinephile community stream team.
How you feeling today, Kyle?

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Hello, thanks for having me
again.

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,440
Oh, so excited to have you back.
I asked how Kyle's feeling

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160
because we went hard at his
house last night.

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Full 90s pepperoni pizza, fruit
by the foot, Sunny Delight Nerds

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,640
gummy clusters, and a couch full
of friends playing Nintendo 64.

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,000
I ate way too much.
How much are the pizzas

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280
leftover, Kyle?
Not much, I think, maybe 1-1.

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Yeah, multiple, multiple pizzas.
You have a whole legion of boys

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,240
up and you get the the leftovers
eaten up.

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,360
But thank you so much for having
us.

37
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,960
We actually had a whole lineup
of friends of the show.

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,400
We had Margot from our Season 2
episode where we covered Mario,

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,520
and then we also had Jackie and
Sarah, who was on Season 3, a

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Mario Party episode.
So all great stuff and so, so

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,200
awesome to sit down with you
guys and play.

42
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,520
So let's get into it.
According to Analog's website, a

43
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,320
reimagining of the Nintendo 64
in 4K resolution, 10 times the

44
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,480
resolution of the original.
The 1st and perhaps greatest

45
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,760
multiplayer system of all time,
Analog 3D is 100% compatible

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,600
with every original N64 game
ever made.

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,120
Region free Bluetooth LE.
Not sure what that stands for.

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Dual band Wi-Fi for original
style controller ports.

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Entirely new next generation
analog hardware featuring three

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,280
DOS engineered entirely in FGPA.
No emulation.

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Analog 3D represents a milestone
of video game preservation.

52
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,680
It's not just reimagining, it's
a fully compatible, hardware

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,400
accurate recreation, fully
compatible with the entire

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,840
original library.
After nearly four years of

55
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,400
dedicated FPGA engineering,
Analog 3D overcomes the

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,280
limitations of software
emulation.

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,160
No input lag, no graphic or
audio inaccuracies, no timing or

58
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,920
frame rate problems.
This is the N64, perfected and

59
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,320
true to its score.
I don't know.

60
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,120
They're pretty hyped, Kyle.
Analog 3D.

61
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,440
It had a long road to launch.
How long have you been waiting

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,600
for this thing?
So I I we checked out something

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,960
I should have brought up last
night.

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,720
I brought bought the this is
Analog's pocket that they the

65
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,240
portable for original cartridges
for any game system.

66
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,040
But I pre-ordered that in 2020
right after COVID.

67
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920
I was like this is the dream.
So that took like I think till

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,960
the end of 2021 to ship.
So then I was on their list.

69
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,760
I was informed about this, so
yeah, I preordered this just

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,480
looking at my e-mail to see
October 21st, 2024, and just got

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,360
it at the end of November.
So they sent emails along the

72
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,560
way like your heart's gonna be
broken and it's delayed.

73
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,800
So it was a long road, but yeah,
a bit over a year from order to

74
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,720
arrival.
And I was reading about this,

75
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Mike, you'll appreciate this.
You're, you're a perfectionist,

76
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000
I think when it comes to math
and programming and all that

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360
stuff.
They kept saying in these emails

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,280
that Kyle received that they are
99% done, but they're just like

79
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,800
that one last 1% to just really
fine tune this thing and make it

80
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,560
the recreation they really
wanted it to be.

81
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,240
They also let people you know
cancel their pre-orders and pay

82
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,120
them back anything.
Were you ever tempted to throw

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,120
in the towel?
I was.

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Committed to this one only
because I used to have the old

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,200
N64 hooked up to ACRT monitor in
the garage for the boys even

86
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,480
when they were growing up and
they eventually sold it and they

87
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,640
still were bitter about it.
So this was my attempt at

88
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360
redeeming myself so I was not
going to cancel this for sure.

89
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280
Awesome.
Awesome, you didn't give up.

90
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
And Mike, you prefer playing
these games on CRT televisions,

91
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,280
do you not?
I don't know if I'd say prefer

92
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,160
like I know that there's a
distinction to it.

93
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Like it's more that like I had
ACRT much longer than most just

94
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,560
because they were like cheap.
The retro gamers have now

95
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,760
capitalized on that and they no
longer are cheap.

96
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,600
It's.
Like I.

97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Was in the market for CRTS at
the era where much of the cost

98
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,120
of getting ACRT was just being
someone who was willing to show

99
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,560
up and make it leave someone
else's house.

100
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Right, right.
Yeah.

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080
And so those have now gone up in
costs significantly because you

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,760
get into issues of like the X,
the amount of delay that you get

103
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,520
I think is one of the big ones.
When you're emulating it, Yeah.

104
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,320
It's you.
You were kind of like,

105
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,560
accidentally like, sort of a
hipster as far as like, oh,

106
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,760
yeah.
You still have vinyls and, like,

107
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,360
I still have ACRT television.
But Kyle, though, you also have

108
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,160
a vinyl record collection.
Yeah.

109
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,800
And then I also saw you had.
Well, actually, I know because

110
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,920
we played before the NES mini,
the Super Nintendo mini, the

111
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Psychogenesis mini.
Is there something about the

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,680
physicality of this that's
appealing to you?

113
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,240
It is.
I don't know if it's just

114
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,040
straight up buying package
nostalgia for the most part, and

115
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,840
I fall for it every time.
But yeah, I do much prefer

116
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,000
especially that when the first
NES many came out, the physical

117
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,560
controllers to me go a long way,
especially the actual, not even

118
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
a, you know, approximation of
it, but the actual controllers

119
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,720
were huge.
So yeah, I'm a big fan of

120
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,120
revisiting with as close to the
experience as I can get, you

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,960
know?
And it's funny because, you

122
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,640
know, Mike and I are, you know,
the whole premise of our show is

123
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,320
to do all the Nintendo Classics
games emulated on the Switch.

124
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,160
But it was, it occurred to me in
the bathroom right before we

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,560
were.
That's weird.

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:53,280
But I was bathroom thinking TMI
that the Nintendo Switch Online

127
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,480
could be so much bigger.
I feel if they marketed

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440
differently, if they had a
better multiplayer functionality

129
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000
and a way to have lobbies and
you could join anyone who wants

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,880
to play this old game.
But it's almost like if this if

131
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,600
if that was handled better,
Nintendo might start raising the

132
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,280
price on it.
And, and I thought about how

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
awful that would be because
like, I just recently cancelled

134
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,480
my Game Pass subscription
because it got to a price where

135
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,800
I was like, well, I don't play
this enough to justify like $40

136
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,160
every month, you know, But then
the idea of being priced out of

137
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360
a retro game collection is super
sad it.

138
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,720
Really is, yeah.
So, you know, how did it feel

139
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,360
buy in these, you know, game
controllers and cartridges?

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Yeah, having a super weird.
Yeah, totally.

141
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560
It was completely strange.
It's it's kind of one of those

142
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,400
like I'm gonna do it.
And this time I've learned my

143
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,840
lesson.
I thought for sure, oh, I'll

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,240
sell it all and it'll all be
great, you know, virtualized or

145
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920
whatever in the future.
And then now he's the pendulum

146
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280
has swung back towards wanting
the physical again a little bit.

147
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920
So that was great.
I go there's a place called Game

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Dude here in LA, which is like a
Mecca for a lot of this stuff.

149
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,920
So it's often like a nice little
day trip.

150
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,160
Yeah, Jeremy knows them, of
course.

151
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,880
But yeah, that's fun.
And then, yeah, we the

152
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,360
controllers, I was, I know
that's a separate topic, but

153
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,640
even these cheap ones, these are
just knock off N64 wins.

154
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720
They're like 20 bucks on Amazon
and they're like, honestly, not

155
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,840
that hard for, I mean, hard for
me to tell the difference

156
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
between that and the original
plastic ones.

157
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,200
So yeah, it's been, it's been
fun.

158
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,320
And you, you had the games we
played last night.

159
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,440
We're kind of unique.
You got them in a sort of an

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,160
unusual way.
Yeah, well I got the first two I

161
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,960
know immediately Mario 64 and
Goldeneye, which are probably to

162
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,240
Mario Kart 64 I should say are
my 2 favorites personally.

163
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,240
But so I immediately ordered
them when I pre-ordered this

164
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,440
thing and they just been sitting
around from eBay for a year.

165
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,799
And then once this thing shipped
I was like I'll fill in the

166
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:43,240
collection.
Got a few more.

167
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,040
So yeah, it was very piece meal.
And but you got them from like a

168
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,000
warehouse where they were
original printings, but.

169
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,760
They're and they're labeled as
they're labeled as new,

170
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040
whatever, but they're not.
I mean, they're like shrink

171
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,440
wrapped.
Whether it's legit shrink

172
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,040
wrapped, who knows, but just an
eBay seller.

173
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400
So maybe it could have just been
like maybe the warehouse had too

174
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,760
many.
There was like a glut for some

175
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,480
of those games in the day, but
who knows?

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Yeah, MM.
You were sort of unnerved by

177
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,360
that, you remember.
What is this?

178
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,120
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I think it's especially

179
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,840
from the perspective of not
being able to afford brand new

180
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,720
N64 games.
It meant really that like when

181
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760
you're, especially if you're
getting them either rented or

182
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
used, like you got a copy of
Goldeneye and you saw whichever

183
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,000
version had the most stuff
unlocked.

184
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,280
And like, that's the, well,
that's the, that's the save file

185
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,080
we're using.
So to see it start up with four

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
empty save files on a physical
copy is weird.

187
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Yeah, yeah, Mario 64.
We booted it up and there was

188
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160
not a single star to be had yet
and think, Oh my gosh, this is a

189
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,920
virgin cart trench.
Like taking this thing on a

190
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,520
journey.
So in our normal episodes, we

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,800
like to talk about the box art.
And Kyle, you've been waiting on

192
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,320
this thing for years and years
and years.

193
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,000
And I'm dumb because I was
thinking like, oh, we could talk

194
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,800
about the fun box art, but this
is not on store shelves.

195
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,800
This is online only purchases.
As far as I know, all I know,

196
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,040
yeah.
But the packaging, I think Kyle

197
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,920
grabbed it for us to hold up to
the camera.

198
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,400
I don't know if it's there's a
still nearby cab.

199
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,480
Why I have the I have the unit,
unfortunately not the packaging.

200
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,400
OK, I wish.
But yeah, if you haven't seen

201
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,080
it, Jeremy will share it.
It looks very much like 1064.

202
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,080
Yeah, a bit smaller it.
Shares the same lines and same

203
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,960
basic shape of it.
Exactly.

204
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,440
But yes, unfortunately I
immediately threw the packaging

205
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,480
away.
I should have saved it for you,

206
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,240
but.
It was very.

207
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Sleek, it's very it was very
sleek and Apple like.

208
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,600
I got the I don't know if it
mattered.

209
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,040
There's they came in darker
light versions and so my

210
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,040
packaging was was dark.
I'm not sure if it matches it,

211
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440
but yeah, very nice.
And the same was was the case

212
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,560
for the pocket several years ago
as well.

213
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,640
They very high end.
Once it finally ships, they ship

214
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,360
it right, you know?
And since this was online only

215
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,640
like and I, I was checking and
they just listed as sold out.

216
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Yeah, they do sell out fast.
I know they've done individually

217
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
like there's I think they have
like a turbo graphic 16 emulated

218
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,840
1 and some others over the years
they've done and I I think they

219
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,080
do fairly low batches and sell
out immediately and then come

220
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,840
back.
How much did this cost I?

221
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Think it was 250.
I'm just a guy.

222
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,920
I forgot it's been stuff.
But yeah, I think it was in the

223
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,200
neighborhood of like 250, which
is pretty high for this.

224
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,440
But for me the nostalgia was too
hard to.

225
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Yeah, it's just.
Like they just list there.

226
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,520
There's no like, oh, it's this
much but sold out.

227
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,480
It's just like, it's just sold
out.

228
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,000
Like how much did this cost when
you had it?

229
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,520
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly it it's I think

230
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,880
they sell out if I remember even
within hours or if not most a

231
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,160
day when they announce these
things.

232
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
But yeah, it's pretty cool.
It's it's funny, I feel like the

233
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,600
heat death of capitalism
happening before our eyes has

234
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,360
made me sort of flippant about
prices because like, yeah,

235
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,680
that's a lot for.
Metro console though, yeah, but.

236
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,000
It's also it's like, well, it's
like $40.00 for a stake.

237
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,480
So what is money at this point?
Yeah, that's right.

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,320
And I understand that's a very
privileged attitude to have.

239
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Yeah, but I'm with you.
But also.

240
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,720
So it is an interesting idea
though, because this is not a

241
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,960
cost effective way to play
Nintendo 64 games because like

242
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,160
the.
Cartridges, Yeah, you got?

243
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,680
To get the cartridges and like
you compare that to like the

244
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:03,800
cheapest Switch and then signing
up for the Nintendo expansion

245
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,160
pack, which is like, you know,
for the N64 games, it's like 50

246
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,040
bucks a year.
Yeah, so.

247
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,640
Think that's a fair assessment?
Why's that?

248
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,560
Where's?
Smash Brothers.

249
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,880
No, Yeah, right.
You have to wait till they

250
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,560
release them.
Yeah, like that.

251
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,080
That's, I think the big thing
really is like, you can say, OK,

252
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,560
what about emulation, which gets
into the whole piracy thing,

253
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,080
right.
But it's not as though this is

254
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,840
competing with a Nintendo
service that is offering you the

255
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,560
ability to play the same games.
Like I think Analog is doing

256
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,800
what Nintendo at this point.
Yeah, it's not.

257
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Making new hardware for to play
it.

258
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,000
For yeah, they're not making.
The new the new hardware.

259
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
So you don't have a way to
simply work with newer

260
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,720
televisions.
You know, Nintendo's has their

261
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,160
own service, but it has a
limited selection of games, not

262
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,720
everything.
And it really feels like analog

263
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,560
is basically stepping up because
Nintendo isn't doing the same

264
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,520
sort of thing.
Like Atari actually released one

265
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,040
of these same kind of things of
new hardware that works with new

266
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,440
TV's, that plays all the old
games, and Atari did it

267
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,000
themselves.
We're doing this.

268
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,440
It's official.
We've made it work with at least

269
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,040
as many games as they could can.
It's a fairly complete list.

270
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,720
But like Atari took this on
themselves to be like, no, we're

271
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,880
going to sell this thing so that
you can play these.

272
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,840
You can play the original games
on new, on modern televisions.

273
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,560
Nintendo kind of just left that
open.

274
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,520
So there there isn't a different
option.

275
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,760
It's funny because you know, we
all expected there to be a

276
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,680
Nintendo 64 mini because they
did NES, they did SNES, and

277
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,280
those sold like gangbusters.
Just.

278
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,400
Stopped.
Yeah.

279
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,720
And it, it almost feels like
that Nintendo decided they

280
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,520
wanted to put their eggs into
the Nintendo Switch online

281
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,600
basket, thinking that that would
take off.

282
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,640
And it, you know, it kind of
just hasn't really.

283
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,440
So Speaking of comparing the
two, one of the big draws of the

284
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,200
analog 3D is all the different
display modes.

285
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:15,360
I'm just taking up the Wikipedia
article that lists them out

286
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,160
here.
It says it has five different

287
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,760
display options, BVM, which is I
guess is broadcast video

288
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,520
monitor, PVM or professional
video monitor, CRT scan lines

289
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080
and clean.
Kyle, you hadn't really messed

290
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,440
with the different display
settings that we came over last

291
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,080
night.
Do you have a favorite?

292
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560
Do you tend to go for the crisp
high def or do you like the

293
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,000
filter recreating the old look?
Yeah, I like the.

294
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,560
The default I believe was PVM,
PBM or BBM, one of those two

295
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,600
which was fine.
It definitely had like a scan

296
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,760
line style effect and then we
tried what was always switched

297
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,160
to last night.
For the most part, I think it.

298
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,880
Was CRT.
CRT exactly, which I think I

299
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,400
ended up liking better by the
end of the night.

300
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,080
But yeah, those were the two and
then the the final one.

301
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
What is it called?
The most extreme clean.

302
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Clean, clean.
Yeah, it was.

303
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440
Trying it was doing some kind of
weird, I don't know what was

304
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,520
what was happening with it, but
it looked almost too almost

305
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800
flattened or like like a lens
filter applied to the to

306
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Elizabeth Taylor back in the day
where it's all smooth.

307
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Creepily.
That was not my favorite one.

308
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,840
But yeah CRT or BVM I think or
PVM were my top picks.

309
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Now we we make poor Kyle venture
behind his television to plug in

310
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600
my switch and the analog 3D so
we could press a button and go

311
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,320
between the two modes to capture
some content here.

312
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,960
I like the Super clean look.
I don't know if it's just

313
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320
because I've been playing so
many of these old games on the

314
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,000
switch, but it I almost found it
eye straining to go back to the

315
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520
sort of fuzzy look, which is
funny because like I just did a

316
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,040
TikTok about Sonic racing cross
worlds on the OG switch.

317
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
And for 10 more bucks you can
upgrade to the switch 2 version,

318
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,120
which makes everything crisp.
And so it's funny that like the

319
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,600
original Switch is so old at
this point that it has visual

320
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,840
similarity with a Nintendo 60
Fours, like sort of blurriness

321
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,040
to it, I think.
I think I go the other way,

322
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,120
which is that it was interesting
to look at the comparison

323
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,640
because from the Analog 3 DI
think it actually reflected

324
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,040
visually a point that I've seen
made, which is that a lot of

325
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,360
people have this idea of what
retro games look like, which is

326
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,520
this very distinctly pixelated
look.

327
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,600
And it's kind of this point
that's made of that is what the

328
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560
old games look like when you
emulate them on higher

329
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,440
definition screens.
But if you actually look at them

330
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,840
on sort of the original screens,
because of the nature of those

331
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,920
screens, really the visuals are
kind of designed in a way that

332
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,160
takes that into account.
And so you get things like

333
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,520
better curves and fading of
colors because they were the

334
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,120
images were designed in that
kind of a way.

335
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,440
And that showed up a little bit
on when we did the comparison

336
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,480
between the two Mario 60 Fours.
I think is on the Switch.

337
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:09,839
Some of the stuff looks more
jaggedly pixelated because it's

338
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,480
not trying to.
Yeah, it's like the the

339
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:16,000
crappiness of the CRT is
covering a lot of sins in a good

340
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,880
way, right, so.
Yeah, I wouldn't even say say

341
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,480
it's covering the sins, but it's
more that it's designed with

342
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,119
that in mind.
Like, I think it's the same deal

343
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:29,120
of like if in spirit, like if
you were to look at something

344
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,880
that was shot to be in black and
white and look at what it looked

345
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000
like in color and be like, well,
this looks horrible in color.

346
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,400
It's like it was never meant to
be washed that way.

347
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,560
Yeah, you go like this Addams
Family house is pink.

348
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,480
What the heck is up with that?
It's like, well, yeah, it's

349
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,680
meant to look good visually in
black and white.

350
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,840
You.
And so I think this is that same

351
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,680
kind of thing of it's.
I don't think it's covering

352
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,840
things up so much as it was
intentionally designed in many

353
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,080
cases with knowing that was how
people were going to see it.

354
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,320
Right.
So you look best that way, yeah.

355
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,880
That was like the delivery
mechanism.

356
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,200
So yeah, totally.
You pointed out, Mike, that like

357
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,520
in Mario 64, the Lakitu and the
little heads up display in the

358
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,240
bottom right corner in high def
mode looks kind of janky.

359
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480
But when you go to the other
filter, it kind of smooths out

360
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,920
and it looks more like the
proper shape.

361
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,840
I'm gonna blow you guys freaking
minds.

362
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Are you ready?
Do you think that like old

363
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,640
artwork is all smudgy and blurry
because they hadn't invented

364
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:28,480
glasses yet?
I mean it there may be some

365
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760
stuff where actually it is
reflecting that the person doing

366
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:36,280
it actually did have eye issues.
I mean the the not in the exact

367
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,080
same category but like the whole
there's canals on Mars thing is

368
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,240
thought to actually just be
stronger.

369
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,200
Basically mapping the veins in
his own eyes and not realizing

370
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,520
that's what he was doing.
That's.

371
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,480
Intense.
Yeah.

372
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,120
And so you can get, you can
easily get into situations like,

373
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:57,760
yeah, this is this is building
in the things that you don't

374
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,920
actually realize or, you know,
that the person doing it wasn't

375
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,120
necessarily thinking about in
those terms.

376
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:05,720
Right.
Yeah.

377
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,320
Yeah, well, so Speaking of
things that haven't necessarily

378
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,160
stood the test of time or have,
I guess I think one of the most

379
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,480
intriguing things about the
analog 3D is they partnered with

380
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,720
8 bit Dough for the 8 bit Dough
64 controller, which I think

381
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,000
Kyle can hold up for us to show
off here for those not watching

382
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960
on YouTube.
It ditches the iconic Trident

383
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,320
design of the original N64
controller, but it has a form

384
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,960
factor, basically an Xbox
controller.

385
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,080
You got a joystick in the upper
left AD pad underneath it.

386
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,080
And then you have the six face
buttons of the N64 controller,

387
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,880
the B and the A and then the 4C
buttons over there on the right

388
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,840
hand side.
And I don't know, I liked it.

389
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,720
I liked it.
Kyle, What do you think?

390
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,840
What do you well, so you Kyle,
you have recreations of the old

391
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,600
controllers and you have this
new modern one.

392
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,960
Which one do you reach for?
I.

393
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,880
Reach for the old one.
It's not.

394
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,680
I mean, yes, the convenience.
I'm not I what's interesting too

395
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,680
about these like little Amazon
ones are from hyper hyper Kin.

396
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,880
I guess on Amazon they're cheap
and the cords are incredibly

397
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,880
long for what I expected.
So maybe the double lengths I've

398
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,800
seen.
So like I can sit far back on

399
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,640
the couch and do it.
I'm just more comfortable

400
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,880
holding the middle, whatever you
call that, the middle of the

401
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,360
joystick on N64.
That's like my jam versus the

402
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,440
other hold and and the back
trigger.

403
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,360
I just reached for it and Mario
Kart so much.

404
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,600
So that's my preference, but the
other one is great.

405
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,840
A young man playing with us did.
I don't know if I should say his

406
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,560
actual name.
I don't know.

407
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,360
He did not like the old
controller and like I had to

408
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,880
teach him how to hold an N64
controller.

409
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,680
I felt very patronly, like it's
very.

410
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,480
Weird.
It's very weird that you explain

411
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,080
hold the middle 1.
You know when you think right.

412
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,880
Yeah, in fact, MM, my mind is
your mind.

413
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,960
Can you think of 1 and 64 game
that would not work with the new

414
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,840
controller?
Obviously sin and punishment,

415
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,720
yeah.
Sin and punishment, Kyle, I

416
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,040
don't know if you're familiar
with this one.

417
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,480
It's one of the only games where
you hold.

418
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Familiar with this one you.
Hold the middle of the Trident

419
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,160
and the left.
Really.

420
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,480
That's yeah.
Yeah, because you you move

421
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,520
strafe with the D pad and free
aim with the joystick.

422
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,240
It was essentially a dual stick
game years and years before

423
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,080
that.
And I think it's worth I'm

424
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,160
noting with that because I think
that leads to sort of my stance

425
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,360
of not liking that new
controller.

426
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,960
Like, considering punishment was
basically a developer decision

427
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,320
of, hey, what if we made you use
these two things instead and

428
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,960
built a game around the concept
is.

429
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,120
And I think this has shown up a
lot with, you know, Nintendo

430
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,760
controllers have evolved a lot
over the years.

431
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,840
If we want to use Evolve, then
applies some level of

432
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,040
improvement over time, I think.
But they're all very different.

433
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,320
And I think there is a situation
where a lot of people go like,

434
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,960
OK, well, yeah.
Well, these this modern layout

435
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,200
of controller is the best layout
of a controller.

436
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:15,160
And all issues of that argument
aside, if you look at the old

437
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,040
games, especially for something
like Nintendo, who did sort of

438
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,280
take this seriously, these are
games being, you know, designed

439
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,360
to be played on Nintendo
systems.

440
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,960
They're being designed with the
controllers they're going to be

441
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,280
used with in mind, right?
And so I think there's an

442
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,960
element of they play best on a
controller like the controller

443
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,240
they were designed for, because
things are laid out in a way

444
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,360
that makes sense with those
controllers.

445
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,360
But Kyles dog kept getting
caught in the wires.

446
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:50,720
Where is.
That where is.

447
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,320
That yeah, no, whatever Katie
voice is.

448
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,280
So I don't know.
I just love a good wireless

449
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,400
controller.
And so Mike, when you got the

450
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,760
N64 controller for the switch,
because I always get Mike the

451
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,480
controllers for the Nintendo
switch online.

452
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,960
That's right, Mike, I always get
you them.

453
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,200
You could you said the joystick
didn't really hold up, but I

454
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,440
felt like the 8 bit dough had a
better joystick.

455
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:20,680
So that's why I preferred it.
No, I.

456
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,600
Had no problems with the
joysticks that we were that we

457
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,160
were using last night.
OK.

458
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,160
OK.
So you so you think that the

459
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,400
Kyle's facsimiles might be a
little bit better than the one

460
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,600
Nintendo officially made could
well be?

461
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,040
Yeah, it's hard to remember.
Yeah, I I couldn't tell like

462
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,080
muscle memory wise, I couldn't
tell the difference on those

463
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,200
knock, but maybe, I don't know,
could have been lost to the

464
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,600
sands of time.
So yeah.

465
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,960
So as far as how the console
runs games, I thought it was

466
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800
totally comparable to Nintendo
Switch Online, which probably

467
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,600
speaks more to the quality of
the emulation happening on the

468
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,480
Switch because this is just an
N64 down to the chip level, is

469
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,560
it not as?
Far as I understand, I think it

470
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,360
would have to be pretty close to
be able to use the original

471
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,520
cartridges.
So yeah.

472
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,480
So we tried out Kyle's library
of Super Mario 64, Ocarina of

473
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,440
Time, Super Smash Brothers,
Mario Kart 64, and Goldeneye.

474
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,440
But Kyle, you gotta save one of
these games and kill the rest.

475
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,360
What's the?
It'd be hard, but I have to go

476
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,680
with Mario Kart 64 if I.
Dang, you'd do that to your

477
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,200
wife?
You'd take Ocarina away from

478
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,600
her.
I'd take it away, yeah.

479
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,680
So yeah, 0.
Hesitation.

480
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Cold designs.
Done.

481
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,360
Mike, you'd be the same.
You'd save Mario Kart 64.

482
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,800
I think it's the right choice,
yeah, yeah.

483
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Stop using those terms.
But I don't know though, I just

484
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,480
I thought it was so fun to
gather on the sofa after all

485
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,080
these years.
It ran great.

486
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,800
I guess it is doing by default
and overclocking of the hardware

487
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,240
so that games like Goldeneye no
longer suffer from really bad

488
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,360
slow down.
Although interestingly, you can

489
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,360
turn that off.
So Mike, I thought you'd

490
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:58,920
appreciate that because Mike,
have you ever seen a speed run

491
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,760
where slow down is used as an
advantage for a speed runner?

492
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,520
Or slow down Is using the
disadvantage?

493
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Yeah, it's like you can kind of,
you know, matrix.

494
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,200
That's crazy.
Possibly.

495
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,560
I know I've seen ones where slow
down gets involved, but it kind

496
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,560
of varies.
I think it sometimes depends on

497
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,960
how they're on how they're
counting.

498
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Well, I think what's neat about
the analog 3D is that like, you

499
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,640
know, it does kind of give a new
option for the speed running

500
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,960
community because it is so
faithfully recreating the

501
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,600
original cartridge.
In fact, you can even argue it's

502
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,600
a better option than emulation
are.

503
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,640
They are they accepting it?
I don't know.

504
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,400
It's, I think it's too new,
yeah.

505
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,720
I was going to.
I was going to say that would be

506
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,600
my question because with various
technologies they go back and

507
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000
forth on that.
Right, it took you to my

508
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,360
Nintendo's stance on analog
specifically, or.

509
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,200
No, the the speed room
communities, they do track how

510
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,480
how you're playing them and
there are situations where they

511
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,320
have determined that certain for
certain games, certain things

512
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,080
are not acceptable.
Right.

513
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,760
Isn't that what got the King of
Kong disqualified recently or

514
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,440
whatever?
Yeah.

515
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Some kind of emulator that was
not qualified.

516
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Yeah, that was great.
Thank you for reminding me about

517
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,480
that movie.
I think those get slightly

518
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:24,280
further into like just is it the
original thing or not, where

519
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,680
more more the console stuff
tends to be a little bit more

520
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,040
flexible.
But you do get into things where

521
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,160
it is like everybody plays the
Japanese version because it's

522
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,600
slightly faster and that's just
sort of accepted.

523
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,040
But I think that that exists
more on the what game version

524
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,120
you're playing than it does on
how you're playing it

525
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:48,560
necessarily.
But like there's a huge amount

526
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,640
of other factors that weigh in
there.

527
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,480
If you get into are you playing
pal Vernus versus NGSA?

528
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Because there's different frame
counts and it is complicated in

529
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,640
that sense.
Like, honestly, I'd be more

530
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,360
curious to see a speed runner
play on this to see how much it

531
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,800
really does replicate what
they're what they're expecting,

532
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,440
because there's, there is a a
lot of the issues.

533
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,200
And I think even analog 3D in
their description kind of points

534
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,960
to this when they're suffering
out from emulation is that this

535
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,600
is going to behave exactly the
it's supposed to behave exactly

536
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,960
the same way to the frame from
what you would expect on the

537
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,800
original hardware.
Which does suggest that they

538
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,920
are, that it is exactly
equivalent, but also that it's

539
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,040
going to be the speed runners
that notice that because we're

540
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,080
something of like frame perfect
stuff.

541
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,240
You know, I'm not getting second
perfect stuff when I'm playing

542
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,560
some of these games, let alone
frame perfect.

543
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,480
Whereas it's the speed runners
that'll notice it.

544
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,080
Yeah, yeah.
Because that's like a surgical

545
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,000
precision, some of these speed
runners or the ones we've all

546
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520
heard about.
I think surgery is less precise,

547
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,680
yeah.
Probably, yeah, my dad knows

548
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,440
about that.
I kind of tell you the details

549
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,480
unless, unless you give a review
and then I will spill it all.

550
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,000
So leave a like or a comment.
So, Kyle, you know what's next

551
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,400
for your analog 3D and 64
library?

552
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,920
What's the next cartridge you're
going to order that's.

553
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,320
A good question.
I mean, these are like

554
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,400
definitely my top five if you
were to ask me.

555
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,080
So I've got to I got to think
back.

556
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,600
I'm like I have much more
nostalgia for any essence and

557
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,880
Super Nintendo games than I do
for this this era.

558
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,240
I was certainly into these big
ones, but then I didn't go that

559
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,520
far.
I was like in college at the

560
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,960
time was a little bit busier.
So I got to I got to see how how

561
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,160
I branch out.
But you know, I know.

562
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,680
What Mike's would be.
What's that?

563
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680
Occurs in USA, right Mike?
I mean, it's definitely a a

564
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,640
solid entry.
Yeah, yeah.

565
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,520
Cuz like I, you know, Mike's
been waiting for that game to be

566
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,240
added ever since he's been doing
this show.

567
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520
And now it occurred to me like
he doesn't have to wait anymore.

568
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Just.
Just get an analog 3D and 200

569
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,160
and something dollars later
I'll.

570
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,240
Probably browse the aisles at at
game dude and see what what

571
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,880
stands out to me that's.
So fun.

572
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,640
I was like the the the other
pitch there would be Rogue

573
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,120
Squadron.
Yeah.

574
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,320
Yeah, Mike fell out of a chair
playing that one.

575
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
I guess he was coming out of a
nosedive.

576
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,080
All right, Well, guys, I think
that covers it.

577
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,840
It's time to declare the analog
3D as a Nintendo or a Nintendo.

578
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,800
Don't.
Kyle.

579
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,400
Our guest of honor here, The
only person who actually owns

580
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,480
one right now.
Yeah.

581
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Would you recommend it?
I definitely would yeah, and

582
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,320
Nintendo like to your point, it
brings like the just the ability

583
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,160
to have the the in living room
experience and pizza party

584
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,120
whatever is what makes the made
the system great.

585
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,160
I think so for sure, Nintendo.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm

586
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,160
gonna sprinkle a little spice on
there, OK?

587
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,920
I, I, I feel like for the price,
right?

588
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,760
I feel like you get a Switch and
Nintendo Switch Online expansion

589
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,720
pack because the young man who
played with us who Shall Not Be

590
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Named, was very eager to jump
into a bunch of other games and

591
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,080
I feel like.
The.

592
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,680
The ability to have this huge
library without breaking the

593
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,320
bank.
And then you know, I'm a dirty,

594
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,360
dirty cheater on my Switch too.
I can rewind N64 games.

595
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,040
I legit don't know if I would
have enjoyed Ocarina of Time as

596
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,600
much if I could not safe state
it right.

597
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,800
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna say, not
taking anything away from what

598
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,400
they've accomplished, but for
the type of gamer I am, is a

599
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200
Nintendo, mostly because of
price.

600
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,560
Mike, where do you land?
I think it depends on someone's

601
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,960
starting point.
OK.

602
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,160
I think if it if you are someone
who is heavily after the N64

603
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,760
games.
And you?

604
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,720
Especially if you still have
them like I still have my old

605
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,800
N64 games.
So does that make you?

606
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
And so I think if that's your
starting point, I think this is

607
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,000
the obvious way to go.
That's which a Switch isn't

608
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,440
worth it if that's what you're
after.

609
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,720
OK, if you are already at the
starting point of a, of a

610
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,000
Switch, it helps.
There's games on there that are

611
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
not on Nintendo Switch and games
that never will.

612
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,280
But because you're still having
to buy all of the games, I think

613
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,760
if you're starting at a Switch,
it's a lot easier to to just

614
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:30,240
accept what's available on
Nintendo Classics and kind of be

615
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,720
content at that for not that
much a year than to drop the

616
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,680
amount of money it would take to
get that and then get the games.

617
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,360
OK it.
It it's a it depends on which

618
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,840
one what what your priority is.
A family context.

619
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,280
OK, well guys, I think we're
gonna call that game over for

620
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,520
today.
Kyle, it's always so much fun to

621
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,520
talk tech with you.
And thanks again for hosting us

622
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,760
last night.
Before you get on out of here,

623
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,720
why don't you tell our listeners
how they can join the Stream

624
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,040
team?
Sure, if you go to stream Team

625
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,520
dot Club in any browser that you
like and you can sign up there,

626
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,160
we'd love to have you.
Yeah, we do live streams once a

627
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640
month when you're listening to
this.

628
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,440
We'll have just recorded one on
Gremlins, which is a holiday

629
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,560
movie, right?
Yeah.

630
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,480
Yeah, it's a Christmas movie.
Never seen it.

631
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880
I went to a Christmas themed
haunted house for a few years

632
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,280
back.
That's pretty sweet, like.

633
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,440
The haunted house was during the
holiday season.

634
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,960
Yeah, it was like when you left,
they had hot like hot chocolate

635
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,320
and cookies and a list of
printed list of Christmas lights

636
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,120
to go look at nearby.
That's pretty nice.

637
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,400
That was really, it was really
awesome.

638
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,840
My wife did not like it.
She did not really know what

639
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,880
Gremlins was going into into it,
and that's the only reason she

640
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,360
went.
Is it scary?

641
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400
I mean, it depends, I guess if
you were when I was little, I

642
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,800
felt scared by it.
Yeah, for.

643
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,240
Sure, that's the whole journey.
Well, you know what?

644
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,000
