Dumb Things to Try with the Famicom Switch Controllers | Things of Interest

[@D0SMIC]

Imagine going into a Smash tourney and your opponent is using a ROB

[@nukiradio]

But they're not playing AS rob, they're playing ON an ROB minifig.

[@Hope_Upstairs]

@@nukiradio that's the joke

[@MrDiana1706]

Someome's gonna do it only because of this video, *I can feel it*

[@stareanddream]

I’ve been working on a “every controller for the Switch” video project off and on for the past year...but...I NEVER thought to put anything but a Joy-Con on the Ring-Con. You’re a genius!

[@trunkit8749]

That’s kinda cool, the Famicom controllers are recognized as “HVC controller”. HVC being the code used for the NES/FAMICOM, and stands for Home Video Console.

[@ニンテン_ヨッシー]

That ROB part was suprisingly funny

[@Cart1416]

put the nes joycon on the right and the famicom joycon on the left

[@Jiozak]

Famicom color scheme appreciation gang rise up

[@ニンテン_ヨッシー]

Ayy

[@JVeg199X]

Game & Watch color scheme appreciation too

[@saturn9129]

[@valenfraux]

[@jimmjimms]

Big part of why I got them

[@Uvaldimo]

Something I would definitely try: Famicom expansion port to NES controller adapter --> attach an 8bitdo NES Retro Receiver --> test Bluetooth connectivity of these controllers on the original Famicom

[@NintenGunner]

You have no idea how badly I wanna see that Famicom Mario 64 stream.

[@SaviTheGamer]

The last part was intresting .... What's next? Playing Wii Fit Trainer with the balance board? Or Melee with the Ring Con?

[@yodawg189]

That was a good ass bit at the end

[@DE23]

I wish you could buy both the NES and Famicom colors in any region.

[@sebbaa93]

That last part was amazing, great video.

[@socketlaunch]

It probably doesn't work, but it'd be cool if the mic worked with the Japanese Joysound karaoke game.

[@1Soniccool]

Well you’ll need a usb mic for that to work

[@SouprSpookr]

That Mario 64 stream does sound like a pretty fun idea

[@juangutierrez5400]

Yeah it is.

[@nintendogamecube5278]

Funnily enough I just played through Zelda 1 on the Famicom app and the pol's voice are so hard to kill on the Famicom version bc they want you to use the mic! Really makes me wish I had these controllers... 😭

[@VicGChad07]

I have the common Revision 1, which changed the B and A buttons and revised the console hardware. I actually had transplanted parts from two different units 'cause I had the smart idea of using an NES AC Adaptor with my initial unit...and I killed it.

[@JSRphones]

Out of curiosity did you still use Gyromite's direct mode for that ROB scene? Or did you use something else?

[@burgerinabox6063]

it was probably the flash from the “GO” text that made ROB do that. real bummer if he did use gyromite direct mode though...

[@GoldenPickaxe]

@@burgerinabox6063 he said rob only works on CRT

[@Platitudinous9000]

@@burgerinabox6063 Unfortunately, even if that registered as a command for ROB, it definitely wouldn't have the information necessary to send multiple inputs. (Besides, I don't think it's realistic to expect somebody to get this thing to communicate with a 2018 fighting game running on a modern flatscreen TV...)

[@burgerinabox6063]

Can you play the entirety of Rhythm Heaven Fever with the Famicom Controller?

[@Kittenfox_55]

Kinda neat they gave the mic some functionality

[@PinkieOats]

The SNES Online controllers are so nice! I love the SNES redesign on the app.

[@DE23]

They're out of stock, I wanted them, I can't get them Edit: I got it, a while ago actually

[@saturn9129]

Same dude

[@saturn9129]

Same

[@DE23]

I wonder what color the menu will be if you have an NES controller attached to one side of the switch and the Famicom one on the other.

[@JetteroHeller83]

Didn’t even know you could pair retro switch controllers to the iPad without a dongle. Excellent video. My Bluetooth recognized it immediately. For anyone reading this; the sync button disconnects and turns off the controller.

[@shadhog0187]

4:24 i realllly wish you went into depth about the ring con compatibility. I'm guessing the controller just refuses to connect wirelessly when ring con adventure is being played, but the device has everything a joycon has internally except rumble and motion controls...

[@ultra_magikarp3880]

I want those famicom controllers so bad, but everybody on ebay charges them for so much money

[@papyrussemi2848]

Finally... The direct connection from the Switch to R.O.B.

[@kaizer3000jp]

The ending really brings a smile to my face!

[@Boogsboogie]

Just revisited Japan recently and bought these at the Nintendo store, pretty cool to know there are actually other things it can do, thanks

[@DE23]

So even playing the US Zelda version the Mic works? Cool!

[@brandonholm4108]

I love how the 2nd controller still has a microphone.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

just got these today, having a blast they are so cool!

[@Oretal]

You’re probably the first one to use a rob to play smash. Nice things of interest video!

[@NinSonyFan]

🤣🤣🤣😂 for a moment i was hoping you could actually use the joycons with the famicom via an adapter but bruh!! That was hilarious!!!

[@brianhebert6152]

2:54 Congrats, you gave everybody flashbacks to when they had to deal with foul-mouthed kids when playing Call of Duty on Xbox Live in the early 10s

To use voice shouts in Legend of Zelda you need the Japanese NSO Famicom version, or it works in the American NSO NES?

[@stick_is_coolio2268]

I was thinking you should make a video on the rock candy wii controller. Just a suggestion.

[@Caolan114]

I'm curious does the mic actually output to the TV or Is there some crazy audio capture trickery here? because this could be a way to record voice for switch video recordings as useless as that sounds

[@totalmarh]

I assume he just connected it to his pc, opened a recording app, such as audacity, then selected the device as the microphone

[@megamix5403]

No they didn't have it in any.

So these controllers come with all those or something else?

[@inoahguygames]

Sweet how Japanese hardware still has special features in the American version, even though you shouldn't have it

[@madmonkey642]

I doubt anyone will answer, but I went to Japan and brought these back to the U.S. I am wondering if I can safely charge then in the US with the voltage difference.

2:15 that microphone is actually amazing quality, and considering that was from 40 years ago, holy shit. While at 2:54, yeah it’s just meant for noise detection, but man, that’s such a downgrade.
