00:00 Welcome

Mike Chi is a straight down the line guy, the orders were live when he said, it was a couple of clicks, it showed up early, in England. I've only got PS2, Wii (for Gamecube) and Xbox set up, but seeing them in 1440p on an OLED is superb. Great piece of kit, highly recommended. ( No I haven't given up on CRTs :)

Nice to see Cruis'n Blast get some love here. It's such a fun game.

[HistoricNerd]

As someone who suffers from chronically talking like Patrick Bateman...I have one question....do you like Huey Lewis and the news?

[mscottjohnson]

11:45 my RT5X arrived in the mail today. I'm super excited. Can't wait to try it out with my setup.

Glad to see some love for the 3-button Genesis controller. I like it too but I agree on the lag -- I'm a bit surprised you can't buy a USB version of that one -- they apparently came with the Genesis mini, but you can only buy 6 or 8 button USB Genesis controllers through RetroBit.

I'm always able to pick out more details with headphones, so that's my vote for the Remute album

[linkzz]

Die-hard N64 fans will definately pick up the Switch N64 controller just to:
1) Attempt blue-tooth using an adaper on original hardware
2) Harvest the new analog stick out of it if it is laggy.

Other fans will just disregard the controller altogether if it is laggy haha

Thanks so much for your weekly uploads and thanks for the plug of the channels you feature love find new content like the N64 documentary

[Septer_Sever]

The Genesis homebrew article is super exciting! GG Shinobi is one of the best games on the Game Gear and that Star Fox prototype is incredible! Oh, and SotN...i mean, let's go!

Regarding the Remute album: Belt clip, earphones (big bins), leg warmers, rollerskates.

Done.

[Markbot]

Fantastic as usual Bob. Thanks for all the info!

[blakryptonite]

That BladeGC controller is going to be so sick with Dolphin.

[Redonepunch]

Bob, I too love the genesis 3-button controller and have been using the usb controllers that came with the Genesis Mini with the MiSTer

[doubleHLabs]

Just bought a few BOBY PVM stickers, thanks!

It was cool to see the stream. As a kid, playing NES on my SNES was a huge fantasy for whatever reason, despite owning both consoles.

[IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

Just got a notification for the clear SNES shell I pre-ordered not too long ago

[RetroGamerBB]

I'd like to see someone figure out how to run 32x games on the Saturn, sort of like "nested" but an interpreter

[conrad]

About the BladeGC I was also wondering about the dongle as it is not shown in their images. But they show a render in the video.
A modern replacement for a wavebird would be awesome.
I am wondering if the preorder makes sense or if one should just wait until it is available or for a discount like. .. but somehow I fear they could start selling the controller without the dongle at some point in time as the compatibility with switch and Pc is advertised too.

Love Remute’s cart albums and music in general. So far, I have the SFC and PC Engine carts. FWIW, the SFC cart edge isn’t beveled and the PCE card is slightly thicker than your standard cart.

[extremawesomazing]

I can see it on Bob's tombstone (pizza). "On everyone's team."
