Never had SNES as a kid but started playing DKC in college, so around 2003. So many nights playing DKC, whether it was just a bunch of us hanging out or gave us something to do after long days/nights.
@@pluspixel you're probably right, I'm from a post communist country in Europe, so everything arrived a bit later(in terms of consoles), but went through NES SNES N64 PS1 Dreamcast PS2 in this order while growing up(plus gb game gear gbc gba ds) definitely N64 was my favourite, and I also liked DK64
I always use a pro controller to play my switch when it’s docked. If I have it in handheld I’m 90% of the time using a hori split pad pro, if I’m not using those I have a satisfye grip
Ohhhh Chris and Riff they fucked up the controls and reverse them .. we need leftside run paddle and bottom jump .. we shall change the world together SNES controls for LYF
16:00 I’m glad Ricky opened Chris up to the slider piece because I thought the same thing until I went back into my box and saw those pieces and was like wow this is so much more comfortable
Tropical Freeze is a phenomenal platformer & the Wii-U is hella dope and highly underrated, I still walk around the house playing Twilight princess HD on the Gamepad cause it still isn't on the Switch! Needless to say the Wii U brought us Mario Kart 8, Breath of the Wild aaaaand I'm done with my rant lmao You're still the Man Curtis just wrong but still cool lol. Great job on the production btw:)
I once took apart my PS4 controller to fix stick drift and after multiple attempts, I gave up. Apparently I needed to take out the whole housing of the analog stick which, no thank you. It might not be “hard” but neither are 1000 piece puzzles. I just don’t know where to start or have the right tools to feel confident
My friend uses a Mister and ohhh man, it is amazing! It’s hard to explain it without using the word emulate, but this is essentially a complete digital breakdown of what that console does. FPGA clones the chipset of actual hardware for cycle accuracy and the strength of the console and is only able to go up to PSX, Saturn and N64 era.
Agree or Disagree is my favorite section of the Podcast! Now we know that Curtis is a fake gamer, #2 Pencils are best, Ben just taught a master class in Video Game "Backups" and Ricky does yard work! Love the podcast and DKC can always be played!
As someone who has had a MiSTer (actually I have four now) for a few years, he's making it waaayyyy too complicated for the average retro gamer. Here's the most simple way to explain it..... The FPGA is being programmed to basically become an (NES/Genesis/NeoGeo) system. It's replicating the programming and behavior of the hardware inside of the NES. Emulation that we are all used to is using software (the emulator) to be able to run NES games. So your computer and phone with an emulator is trying to run the NES ROM the best it can. The MiSTer (and other FPGA gaming devices like Analogue systems) are trying to BECOME the NES itself, this is why people say it's a more accurate way to play. Now the reason that it looks better is because it's putting out an optimized RGB video signal. We've been modding consoles for years to improve their video quality, the MiSTer already has the best video quality possible, so you automatically get improved image quality.
Mechanical pencils FTW, although I couldn't stand the twist erasers because they would go in every time you tried to erase something. I would buy the ones with eraser replacements.
I don't understand claiming a game is bad if you haven't played it(or an entire console library, especially SNES), or if you only played it for a bit. You're just robbing yourself of a gaming experience that you might enjoy, or possibly even love and truly find special. I've never been a Zelda fan, I've tried so many times over the years, but I'll never say that A Link to the Past is a "bad game" just cuz I personally don't like it, or Breath of the Wild becuz I haven't played through it. I get it that they're technically competent games, they work very well, they're innovative as heck, they have callbacks to previous games, they're not bad just cuz it's not for me. And to say that about the DKC trilogy just hurts. Maybe the question should've been "Do you LIKE the DK games", instead of if they're good. And those Joy-Cons are worse than bad, it's an embarrassment for Nintendo. I agree with Ricky that all the motion stuff works very well, but I don't play games that require it. Outside of the motion stuff, every button is clicky and doesn't provide a good experience for games like 2D platformers or anything with a d-pad, the actual form is so uncomfortable, the sticks are surprisingly hard cheap plastic(plus the drift aspect), all from the ppl who invented the d-pad. Then their "Pro" controller finally gives u a d-pad for $80, but it's horrible with the constant multiple inputs at one time and mashed potato mushiness(I do like the big fat face buttons though). I expect a lot more from Nintendo. But they kinda been easing ppl into these new cheap clicky buttons since the GBA SP and DSi, the DS Lite still had great face buttons with correct travel distance and a proper d-pad.
I got to disagree with the Pixel Game Squad about Diddy Kong Racing. I think it’s way better than Mario Kart 64. The only thing I feel Mario Kart 64 does better is Power ups. I get so bored with Mario Kart games, I think I completed one Mario Kart game fully and it was Mario Kart DS. In my opinion Diddy Kong Racing is one of the best. It’s a Banger of a game and I always use Tiptup as my main guy.
I disagree with the tools. If you have money you can pay someone to do it. It’s a win win, you don’t have to do anything and you’re giving someone a job. Moral of the story I’m lazy lol
Every man should have the knowledge to change a tire. You never know when you'll be out in BFE and get a flat tire. I've had to get of the freeway between Houston and Dallas, where there wasn't a service station within 30 miles. I've helped a couple of City Boys change a tire, because they just looked so lost, even trying to attempt it.
DKC for SNES are great, but nowhere near the fun of Super Mario World IMO. Graphics and music are top tier, but controls are not that tight as SMW. Not terrible, but overrated.
Why Riff taking apart his switch. When he can’t complete a Lego set 😅
bahahha

Curtis dude, I'm the same age, but donkey Kong country (especially dkc 2) is EPIC. And the soundtrack oh my gosh!!!!
Really just depends on what console you grew up on.
^ lies.

Bro you made me laugh so hard P. Diddy kong racing lololol!
Curtis looked like he was about to fall asleep during the FPGA seg, lmao!!

Donkey Kong country is Epic Curtis sucks now
Ohhhh Chris and Riff they fucked up the controls and reverse them .. we need leftside run paddle and bottom jump .. we shall change the world together SNES controls for LYF
Donkey Kong country fn sucks
Curtist needs to play Donkey Kong Country !!! It will change your mind. One of my fav platformers.
16:00 I’m glad Ricky opened Chris up to the slider piece because I thought the same thing until I went back into my box and saw those pieces and was like wow this is so much more comfortable
Ben likes regular pencils because he bought 10000 boxes as a kid and still has them.
Outside of Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, I have never been a Donkey Kong fan, but I LOVE those 2 games.

Diddy Kong racing was better than Mario kart 64
Pencil fights all day.. mechanical will break first bend !!!!!!!!
DKC 2 is my favorite snes game ever Curtis bugging 😂
Modding is easy. It's usually just having the right files in the right folders to get stuff to run

Donkey Kong Country games on GBA were so good. Curtis doesn't know what a tangent is
In high school someone gave me a Dr Grip mechanical pencil and it lasted me YEARS. Loved the thing
I got an FPGA Turbo-Duo. It plays my North American HD cards, as well as burned CDs of any PC-Engine game I want to try out. It was worth every penny.
Got the Donkey Kong Game & Watch and can’t put it down. The Arcade ones are fantastic and I have never played another DK game yet
All four of these guys just staring at Ben saying words
Aaaasssss weeeee proceeed to give you what you neeeeedddd! Aged like milk now 😂

FPGA is used for hardware emulation vs software emulation. It is what Analogue products, Retro USB AVS use for there clone system.
As a teacher there’s no debate. Original pencils are superior in every way over a mechanical pencil.
There ain’t nothing wrong with a little bump and grind hahah R Kelly/Dave Chappelle Pee on You is a classic

Love the podcast and DKC can always be played!
While not having sat on them, those chairs are not it. I hope you get cozier ones. :) More power to the crew!
That emulation question really triggered your adhd.
If you want to get into modding, start with GBA. Super easy to work on, and it will get you hooked!
FPGA isn’t the game, it is the hardware that plays the games…
Get peed no Diddy please 😂😂😂
P diddy kong lol. The game where he kicks and punches his way to the next level.
😂

Curtis... my man. Please, Curtis. Don't do this to yourself.
I listen to R Kelly. Step in the name of love !
i don’t think ben said FPGA enough
how did curtis never give snes a chance it is the most important system in the video game history
I got to disagree with the Pixel Game Squad about Diddy Kong Racing. I think it’s way better than Mario Kart 64. The only thing I feel Mario Kart 64 does better is Power ups.

mechanical pencils cost to much, the lead refill cost the same amount as a copy of Wii fit.
Curtis aint even old enough to answer that lol
16:53 the wii dumbchucks is the only good thing from Nintendo since the 64
Wooooo!!! I can’t wait for socalgamingexpo🤩🤘🏻🔥🎮🛹🕹👾
What did Christopher say!?!
I disagree with the tools. If you have money you can pay someone to do it. It’s a win win, you don’t have to do anything and you’re giving someone a job. Moral of the story I’m lazy lol

I could teach you all to solder correctly, It is not as hard as you assume it is. I have done it since 1980
Diddy Kong racing is the best by far
DK1 purely because of nostalgia. DK Jr. because its a legitimately good game with easy to learn gameplay. All the other ones suck.
Why don't they have Caleb on the show next?
He will be coming Wednesday!
That's like only playing CDI Zelda and saying Zelda isn't good.
Chris singing R Kelly likes to pee on you hahaha I still like Diddy Kong racing, but it's not better than Mario Kart, I don't care what people say.
Curtis. Bro really!!! Go play dk on snes right now
DK64 is not the worst one.... come on fam.
DKC for SNES are great, but nowhere near the fun of Super Mario World IMO. Graphics and music are top tier, but controls are not that tight as SMW. Not terrible, but overrated.
SNES DKC 1 2 3 are good
🥇
He’s a young kid kinda sad donkey Kong in snes is the greatest games of all time
Chauvinistic 😂
no you guys donkey kong worst game ever they name it donkey
Lead pencils all day…Curtis must be on that silver spoon lvl where he wanted a metal tipped on wtf is that!
So, in other words, Curtis’s opinion does not count on donkey Kong lol
