Subbing to Uncle Derek has been proven more effective to brighten your mood than the leading prescription anti-depressants. Frickin love you guys and your dedication to one of the most slept-on gaming shows on YT!

@@85wastedyears Doesn’t seem like they’re doing anything different than most other full time youtubers who aren’t in the controversy courting view farming genre. Pretty much every KZbinr with a notable sub count gets sponsors and those who have patreon tell you about their patreon, it’s how they make money. Don’t see how 90 seconds that you can skip (and that is marked on the video bar so you know exactly where to skip to) and a reminder of a voluntary way you can support them if you want is “shilling and begging”

TBH, I have no intention of ever getting a mouse for a console. But...Derek’s quirky passion and utterly awesome insanity is contagious AF. Always puts me in a good mood! Hell, I could listen to him ranting for three hours about the Dreamcast fishing controller. 😎

[@Cyram_JamTheOttoman]

Same! Just some of the goofiest stuff!

[@RealRedRabbit]

Don't give him ideas

[@LordHorst]

I have the PlayStation Mouse (mostly because I share Derek's enthusiasm for controllers) and I have to say: The games that were designed to use a mouse work really really well with it. Too bad it's only so few, though.

Alright Derek, you’ve convinced me. I’m an engineer - I’ll get an N64 mouse and add buttons to it. Give me like a month or two, okay?

[@somebonehead]

How's that project coming along?

[@Sarahm2261]

Any news on this project?

[@TheKonamiMan]

I love Punching Weight so much. I wish I had some dumb peripheral to send in for an episode.

If it's being mentioned like this, I wonder how the mice would play F-Zero X with multiplayer, lol.

I had fun trying the n64 mouse with smash bros when I went to PRGE 2018 (I wore the Mario Cappy Hat). I hope you can continue this when it is safe to go outside again.

[@Jamie-sg5in]

Hey Derek, just wanna say thank you for all you do man :)

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

I don't know why but dual mouse has really got me laughing. The idea of playing a game with two mice is just hilarious to me

[@deathsceane]

I just noticed that was Sonic Blast Man on the title screen of Bust a Move 99. Now there's an idea for a Literal Punching Weight episode. Once the world stops being scary maybe you should go find a working arcade, just be sure it's not the literal hand breaking model. Hopefully the two console games won't be hard to find.

[@Level1Sword]

It's pretty crazy that there are tons of consoles now that natively support mice via usb, but the feature hardly ever gets used.

Absolutely love the positivity from Uncle Derek and Producer Grace. Good luck in this new year, and I hope for the best for you all (puppers included) in 2021 cuz we all want more videos that celebrate the weird and awesome.

[@TheSocialSolipsist]

To answer your sneaky hidden question, yes, I have always referred to it as "Star Wars Episode 1 Racer." There were some other games that had podracing that came out after it too, so wouldn't want to get them mixed up, but I'm sure I always called it by its full and proper name, because apparently I was a pedant, even as a little baby gamer.

[@TheSocialSolipsist]

Also, on the subject, I played it on PC, on a big beige Dell Windows 98 tower, never knowing it was an N64 game. For many years after I tried to run it on newer PCs, and it never ran, so when I found out it was on the N64, I turned to emulators (this being before the PC version was remastered a few years ago). It turns out there are actually some not-insubstantial differences between the PC and N64 versions of the game, including some of their rendering processes. On the surface they look very similar, but seeing as you're into this kind of weird minutiae like I am, you might be interested in looking into it, though I'm not sure it warrants an episode. Still, that game will always have a place in my heart, and I'm glad we're now able to play it again on modern systems.

[@01100101011100100111]

11:15 Derek is clearly giving the "thumbs up" hand gesture in this drawing, meaning that he is more than okay being half buried in mice. His plea to Grace for help is obviously for MORE MICE.

[@specknacken6507]

"I mean...we could barely move. But we could barely move...TOGETHER." Coop makes everything better people. Everything.

"You of course think... Fighting Force 64!" One of many laughs I had in this episode! Great video; really cool to see you tested the mice with so many different games!

I wanted to know how well it played Fighting Force! (Probably couldn’t, or did it terribly)

[@brucemcclurg8076]

I worked for a retro game import store before Corona f’ed everything up, we actually managed to find not only a 64 mouse, but a semi-complete disc drive set. We were missing 2 of the DD games, but it had the mouse, F-Zero, Mario Artist, etc. Someone’s grandma in rural japan accidentally sold it to the company for $50 since she didn’t know what it was, though we tried to reach out and get her more money for it. It was really neat to mess around w the F-Zero track editor at least!

[@sheenthisma7103]

What a nice message you left in the Star Wars text part.

[@extremawesomazing]

Thank you Mouse Maestro! I'd be completely down for an episode of the best NES games (emulated on the N64 with an Everdrive 64) using a mouse. Naysayers may scoff at the emulation, but it simply begs to be done! Also, the ED64 can emulate a fair number of Gameboy and Gamegear games. Few buttons on the original systems might mean a whole lot more compatibility with the mice.

[@Jacktrack7]

I love that Matt is being successful and all but I can't lie, every time I see someone mention him or do a cameo, the void that the Super Best Friends break up left in me still hurts.

Dual mouse pod racing? (mice, meese, mouses, mousii, or whatever) Banjo Tooie peck-'em-up? Mouse only Smash Bros? That's... just... dumb. 😂 Keep up the madness Uncle Derek! Glad you're back. I wonder if some form of elaborate controller port splitter could allow you to run a controller and mouse off the same "player" for Command And Conquer? Or mod a controller to have a trackball?
