I never understood what this actually did. Does it like, enable DS wi-fi on a dial up connection or something?

...

Nintendo invented WiFi so when the DS came out many households didn't have it yet. You plugged this into your PC to send a wifi signal for your DS to pick up.

back when the DS released most people didn't have routers with wifi so they release it so you could play online and it was compatible with the Wii later
it was a worthless piece of shit

if you didnt have a wireless conection on your home ( remember this was 2006) you plug this shit on your pc and it acts as a wifi accses point for your ds.

...

Why did Microsoft not have built in Wi-Fi when even the fucking DS did?

I don't know why I bought one.

> still find these in random Walmarts

Same reason the Wii didn't have built in LAN ports.

I had this.
ACWW and MKDS were the shit.
We had some good times on here

>Nintendo invented WiFi
I can't tell if you're joking, I hope I don't have autism.

But that was great

...

funny since they were discontinued due to legal issues making them fairly rare

...

You just posted the reason. Same reason why controllers used external batteries, proprietary chargers, HDDs, HDDVD add-ons, etc.

really?
I remember getting one from a friend because he said it was crap and then I threw it away because it was less of a pain in the ass to just change the router to WEP whenever I wanted to use my DS then change it back when I was done

Yeah I remember it.
Because I had one.

Sometimes I forget that Microsoft are jews.

I actually had to play with one of these, I'd be stealing my neighbour's wifi on my DS and I'd have to play right against the wall downstairs for it to work.

I always wonder what the celebs/authors think when they endorse products like this that bomb so fucking hard.

I wonder this about VA who have roles in shitty games/movies. Do they look back and cringe like we do about past decisions?

I have that exact one. It has some tape holding it together. It has lasted many a gaming session.

Oh fuck OP hold the fucking phone for a sec

I had one of these
It overheats

spoilers you do

...

Still remember that infuriating presentation. That bitch is why games hold your hand so much.

Ask ellen page

Not gonna lie that was pretty neat

I had to dig for this fucking thing, but here it is.

holy fuck I may be overreacting to this but if I played fzero all the way through when I was a kid this would have made me shit myself in amazement.

oh no!!

Mine is sitting somewhere too, probably next to my e-reader

Nintendo games had a lot of weird gimmicks.

I liked it for Space Invaders Extreme. Pretty much let you feel the bass of the music. Too bad the paddle was only sold in Japan.

I like how Nintendo only used WEP.

sadly, it was only available on japan, in the expansion pack for the 64DD. But I agree, that shit is rad as fuck

If you're talking weird DS accessories, few things beat the Slide Controller.

that game was great tho

the track was actually in the base game, Psychedelic Experience or whatever it was called. They just didn't put the song into the base game.

You should watch Girlish Number. They make fun of shitty anime so much and it's about VAs.

I've never heard of that thing, and upon google searching it to only find articles from 2007 I'm not surprised by this.

>tfw remember reading hentai manga on my dsi in my public library (didnt have internet as a kid)

>tfw i would make hentai flipnote hatena gifs and would eagerly wait to go to the library to get on the wifi and upload them

>tfw people liked my flipnotes and i rarely got reported

>millions of dollars to try and make this outdated gimmick catch on

At least Sony was able to get their wagglin' shit to transfer over into the latest vr meme

This caused a stampede to Skype after using this.

Oh, shit, my bad, I didn't remember that track because my game always crashed when I was trying to play any circuit from the Joker Cup, and never played it. I thought it was exclusive like the song

>laser disc reader
>had modules to run games from genesis and turbografx
>there are games only released for it
>there is no emulator for it and its pretty much impossible to do because it uses both analog and digital signals and each game has diferent encodings

...

...

The xbox elite controllers have just 90 days warranty and they break super quick. Forums and everywhere is full of faggots saying it is the consumer's fault.
Yes, they are jews.

Can you use this shit to connect to a wpa2 thingy with the DS?

That is actually useful if you want to play from your bed though.

...

wasn't an animaniacs bowling game that was up to 8 players? I remember they had to use two of these for everyone to play it

...

>instead of just letting people play dvds and control it with the controller like the ps2. Lets force them to use this shit

I forget about this console. When do you see xbone threads? or anythingatall?

I still have mine somewhere. It was really finicky.

How many games can actually use these pieces of shit?

These were ahead of their time. If they were released today MS would let you custom order them like they do with their controllers. I would buy some tbqh familia.

Still have mine. It was so bad

Shitty jobs are still jobs. A lot of musicians and VAs appreciate shitty jobs because it's easy money and it counts as work experience.

because they had a hardline built in.

and because wifi signal strength was not that good back in 2006 for online gaming.

I saw one the other day, just 15 posts. Half of them were shitposting, the others contained like 15 games total, half of them multiplats.
Sad as fuck.

ahh... back when online multiplayer was free to play.

I miss playing N4SU and the RE Outbreak chatrooms.

Fun fact, it's actually a very bad idea to use your game console as aDVD player. ADds extra strain and wear on the console and ruins the DVD drive faster.

It's a shame Microsoft seems to have abandoned it. I never see adverts or hear about some great new exclusive. That new xbone slim is a snazzy looking unit. shame.

Maybe this isn't the place for this... but... is it really true that a kid used this to "torture" his pets? I'm being serious there's some very very vague info about it. I'm wondering... how did he even do that?

What's to talk about? Exclusive games have dried up and there's nothing left to distinguish it from the competition now that the Kinect is dead.

Torture his pets... What?

I remember the port for that thing.
I hid a honeybun in there for a few months. Shit was so cash when I found it again.

a usb drive with xbox logo on it

Timesplitters was the only one that mattered.

...

Don't ask me. Just search nes speedboard torture on google and... apparently it happened?

>consoles have such shitty disk drives that normal usage breaks them

you had a ps2 in prison?

>hid a honeybun in there for a few months
>when I found it again

>mfw I've just been reminded of how I used to watch porn on my PSP's internet browser

It wasn't capable of video so I had to jack off to pictures

What a waste. Got it originally because I lacked an access point, and eventually had to use it in college because our wireless was a fucking joke.

All I used it for was the wii vote stuff and smash, which was a mess.

I remember for some dumb reason the router in my house did not let DS systems connect, so we needed this.

I used the hell out of mine for every CoD on the PS3.

Black magic

WTF is that

To sell you a $100 accessory.

Oh yeah, that existed too.

>I hid a honeybun in there for a few months. Shit was so cash when I found it again.

I'm getting to old for this place

Speaking of the kinect, why the fuck did so many researchers use it? I always saw all these bullshit articles about curing dementia with the kinect or shit like that

Correct fucking answer

This was fucking great.
Whatever happened to these two from the Nintendo Channel?

But for real what is it?

A Nintendo switch

you poor soul

Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar mode was designed to teach you to play a song in the game in real life, but you needed one of these babies to play it.

Top: A plastic guitar controller with 102 buttons, and 6 strings to strum.
Bottom: An actual electric guitar. Sensors in the neck tell where your fingers are pressed.

Also, this was added as a DLC track: youtube.com/watch?v=ffrdLPmrrtY

How do those cables work?

Oh my...
