The eeePC... Wii Remote... thing?

[@f4micom]

I am going to upload some footage of Mr. Bubble on my second channel alt+f4mi very soon! I realized after shooting and editing that I didn't mention at all how the "motion features" are used in that game AT ALL, but, well... There is a reason for that. They just bound the "shaking" of the remote to one keyboard key. You can play the entire game without the remote and it's a better experience. It still sucks, but that tells you how much of an afterthought the remote was for them when designing that game.

[@kingemocut]

posting this as a reply here as well as as a normal comment but see below. i'm a PS2 game collector who owns both the below named titles that aren't mr. bubble, but the name does ring some bells. just so you know, mr. bubble is actually a reskin of heracles: battle with the gods & cocoto platform jumper, both shovelware titles for th PS2 by Neko entertainment.

I got to play with an eeePeeCee when it was relatively fresh -- I was seven or eight. This was before I had much of a concept of what Linux was - and the other computer I used at the time was on Windows XP. I was amazed at how much it could do with only 4GB of storage -- and the fact said storage wasn't in a spinning disk. It felt futuristic. I remember playing Tux Racer on it. It was fun but I wasn't good at it. It ran fine on the device. Thank you for bringing back those memories (:

[@5-Consecutive-Hairpin-Turns]

@@thepinktreeclub I got a nearly flawless 60fps on a laptop that's over 17 years old in Tux Racer, i'm pretty sure that a laptop of the same performance level or better is obtainable even in some 3rd world countries, and the exact same laptop struggles with video playback on youtube above 480p, it cannot be understated how easy Tux Racer is to run.

[@thepinktreeclub]

@@5-Consecutive-Hairpin-Turns "is obtainable" in the present. we're not talking about the present here, we're talking about the Eee PC, thats what the video is about. yes, sherlie, people can get android devices that can run pretty decent 3D games CURRENTLY, but your anecdote of being able to run tux racer on a 17yo laptop (which isnt impressive since YES, decent laptops from 17yrs ago could do ir but they were MOST DEFINETELY NOT OBTAINABLE THEN) does not rly stands as a statement, i know this game, i know this era, and i have my reasons to think otherwise.

[@thepinktreeclub]

@@5-Consecutive-Hairpin-Turns you should not be impressed if i was wrong, that's my point, i conclude your experience with computers 17yrs ago was too good for you to not be. and i'm not judging you on that, but i'm also not wrong.

Your description of Mr. Bubble unlocked a core meme-ory from my childhood. DuLuDuBi Star, an actual Super Mario Galaxy ripoff from Chinese amusement park company Fantawild.

I once bought a Genius controller that looked like a Wiimote assuming it was going to be some sort of air mouse with extra buttons, kinda like this thing, but it ended up being an oddly shaped wireless DirectInput controller where the analogue stick axis are a gyroscope, it was basically unusable. If it wasn't because it requires special drivers that are all kinda wonky it could have done for a nice media remote, but alas. It did come with a physical copy of Virtua Tennis 2007 as an extra disk inside the box tho, so it wasn't a complete waste of money.
