I’ve been begging for _YEARS_ to play Mega Man 2 on my TV in a really stupid way. Ever since I was -3 years old I thought “imagine if I could directly plug in Mega Man 2 into my TV and play with a cheap controller even though I have a WiiU with it already installed” so thank you Arcade1Up, you have blessed me greatly

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

Playing it on a Wii U is already pretty stupid, tho. :)

My first time playing Mega Man 2 was on mobile 8-ish years ago. It was pretty wacky, looks like the app was removed from the store though.

You buy this when you are on a family beach vacation and realize it’s going to rain all day and you need to keep the kids quiet. When it’s left at the rental beach house no one will cry but it buys a few hours of calm.

It’s amazing how far plug and play consoles have came in the past 25 years. They’ve changed the cord.

[@leechee6984]

😲

[@alex99x99x]

They added a cord for power!

[@Aeduo]

They shoudl've just kept the game in the controller and used an extra long cable or something. Having the separate box is silly and makes it wholly inconvenient. But it's probably just a super generic SoC board that's just an awkward shape to fit in to a controller... but if it was something neat like one of those joystick plug and plays, it probably would fit in to the base of something like that just fine, or if they made it kinda the shape of an NES advantage stick or something, it would've been a kinda neat alternative to the company's usual full size arcade cabinet product and would make sense to exist.

I feel like a lot of companies are banking on the fact that there are tons of "collectors" out there who will buy their products for the nostalgia/marketing alone and those people will never know exactly how bad it is because they will buy it, never open it, and put it on a shelf as part of a greater collection. The fact that it does anything besides be made of plastic is an after thought

[@skunkwerkz777]

yes the decade of collectors becoming the big thing has ruined a lot and driven prices through the roof. I used to collect SNES and N64 games thankfully I've gotten most of what I want before the hoardes of game collectors moved in.

​@@CalderTF2 A previous Scott Stash went over it in more detail: They expand their library and variety at a glacial pace, yet frequently release new machines that invalidate the older releases by being the same cabinet with more games, at practically the same price.

It has been a while since I've looked at "new tv's", extremely so since it took me listening to this video to end up knowing that many TV's today have few hdmi ports on them. My old Magnavox has 3 HDMI ports, 1 USB port, 6 of the traditional blue red orange yellow white ports for older entertainment media like consoles or even DVD players, a Headphone jack (for smaller speakers but idk who'd actually use their headphones for this relatively big tv), Antenna IN, and a PC-IN RGB. Makes me want to ensure this old thing stays around even when I'm in my 80s,

[@jacobj3933]

I guess I owe its so far decent life span due to not using it so often over the years.

[@playlistenthusiast]

I also have an old TV with 3 HDMI ports, S-video, component cables. But it's before smart TV so no apps.

[@FizzyCape]

@@playlistenthusiastno apps is a good thing. If you want the smart features you can plug in a Roku stick, but the built in apps on smart TVs are trash

[@RAHelllord]

My cheap 4k LG from 2019 has 3 HDMI in, 2 USB in (basically only for an HDD to record antenna / cable shows), 1 set of component in (plus composite on green), cable / antenna in, and optical spdif out. But yeah, connection options are becoming a luxury, though thankfully external HDMI switches aren't that expensive. I have a cheap one that auto-swaps that connects most of my more modern game consoles to my TV.

[@butterccm]

A lot of TVs will have 3 or 4 now. I bought a cheap 4K TV at Walmart and it has 4 ports. Scott is a little behind with that statement.

[@ciaranainsley6563]

To shed some light on the "smoothing filter" thing, what that looks like to me is the game being blown up to 720p or lower without any integer scaling, and then that image being blown up to a higher resolution itself with bilinear filtering.

And if I'm going to be buying a game compilation expecting it's a bunch of Pac-Man games and it isn't, I'd be kind of pissed and say it's false advertising. It's like if I bought that Mega Man collection and it also ended up including Street Fighter or Ghosts and Goblins because those were also made by Capcom at the time.

I don't know. The novelty of seeing if a controller the game was not designed for works, most likely. How is the d-pad on here compared to a standard one? I've seen one of these sorts of units with a joystick before and wondered how it would work, but the joystick can't be used as a controller in other games without a lot of work, which is a shame, it looked really cool. That does beg one question, the unit shown has a six-button Genesis controller, why are there extra buttons, and why not shove the Wily Wars version on there?

Because it's not for people who know what RetroArch is.
