Now I feel really old. LOL

2600 paddle controllers are like early 80s arcade spinners for games like Breakout, Arkanoid, Kaboom, Tempest, etc. ProductImage-C_696d7529-b2bb-4547-92d9-4ad55294abd2.jpg?v=1692664603&width=1500

I'm going to start collecting vintage game cartridges again. I have my eye on several 2600, 7800 homebrew carts and I'd like to start collecting mostly black box NES games too like Popeye.

What kind of messed up sex toy is that? Invented for a Titty twisting arcade game?

Are these those things I stare into at an eyesight test?

When I unscrew the caps, is there salt inside?

Is this what Vader uses to scan people's ball sacks?

So I'll post this here:


Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle is only availible in limited quantities while stock lasts.


Nintendo is sending out invitations to pre order this system only if you meet certain requirements.


You save a good chunk of money if you get the bundle, so try and pre order as soon as you can.


I don't know what I'm going to do. I was waiting for amazon and I registered my interest, but it seems to be sold in conjunction with the uk Nintendo store and says I would have to meet these requirements to even get an invite to preorder and that means having an active switch online membership

I Just used the 7 day free switch online trial so it will be active for the 8th when preorders  start. Hopefully the 350 hours i poured into Snowrunner will boost my playstats and make me.eligible for invitation.

Seriously, don't make fun of what you don't understand. Those dial controllera are to this day some of the best controllers ever made. You can't really play a game like arkanoid or breakout or kaboom properly without one. Bit.Trip.Beat would have even been better with a dial controller.

Can't I just detach and use the volume knobs on my car radio to play those games?

On a 90s tamagotchi screen?
