In the midst of an oil crisis and collapse of the fledgling video game industry, Nintendo was challenged to reinvent an affordable way to keep fans glued to their home television sets. Step 1: Ensure the company's champion, Mario, hopped right out of the box on Day 1. Step 2: Evolve everything they'd learned from arcades-turned-bowling alleys. And Step 3: Reposition the Famicom from a video game system to a toy, by plugging in the most iconic video game blaster of all time. Deck yourself out in camo and climb into your 80's blind spot with us as we revisit the ingenious tech, addictive gameplay, and nostalgic soundtrack of Duck Hunt.

Housekeeping: Retro Rewind April game is ToeJam & Earl! Icebreaker - what did you buy? And what did you play? Sam: Bought: The Ooze (Genesis), more 3DS eshop (Etrian Odyssey V, Nexus, Untold 2, Kirby's Block Ball, Kirby's Star Stacker, Kirby's Pinball Land, Lufia: the legend returns, Sword of Hope II, Defenders of Oasis, Shining force: the Sword of Hajya) Played: beat triangle strategy (again).

And of course more Earthbound Beginnings (NSO NES) John: Bought: Sonic Pocket Adventure NGPC and Kirby and the forgotten land Played: Triangle Strategy, frog from whom the bell tolls, and Dan: Advance Wars 2, Kirby, Hey Pikmin, Gameboy games lot (Game and watch gallery 3, Kirby's Dream Land, Pocket Bomberman, Mario Land 2, Wave Race, DKL2, Yoshi). The price is RETRO “If this is your first time playing The Price Is Retro, this is how we play. I'm going to list off 4-5 games, and everyone else has to guess how much the games are worth in total. Whoever's guess is the closest wins that round, and the next person lists off their games. Everyone brought a list of games, and everyone guesses on each other's lists. At the end of the game, whoever won the most rounds wins the game!But look out for Polterguest! He guesses $300 on each list, and if he wins the game I have to give away a sticker from the merch store!” Dan's list Sam's list John's list “Spot the fake” “We're given a list of game titles, and we have to guess which one was made up”- Sam's list “Games Described Badly” “We're given several descriptions of video games and we have to guess what game is being described.” - Ambassador “Retro-pedia” “I'm going to start reading the description of a game from wikipedia. As soon as you think you know it, yell out your answer! If you're wrong I'm giving the other people an opportunity to guess. If everyone's wrong I'll keep reading until someone else yells out.” “Trivia Card” Check out the Price Is Retro Database at Retrologic.games, we'll be having Flightsy on an episode coming up to talk PiR stats! Show Topic Topic: Controllers throughout history Arcades: Since whole cabinets were made for one game, truly unique controls could be tailored to a single game. Joysticks and buttons became standard quickly, but button placement could vary. Trackballs (Centipede, Marble Madness) Dials (pong, arkanoid) Steering wheels and pedals (like every racing game) Light guns (like every arcade shooting game) Rotating Joysticks (Ikari warriors and other SNK games) DDR Consoles(main): Atari Joystick w/ 1 button NES controller gives us the D-PadGenesis does 3 buttons for some reason. 4 face buttons on the SNES, another industry standardSony's Dual shock Controller gives us dual analog, which becomes a gold standard for industry.N64 Controller: it's not that bad Dreamcast: divisive. But ergonomic. I wish the stick was more grippy. Gamecube: perfection (except that D-pad) 3rd party and peripherals: Fightsticks - still tournament standard for most fighting games, esp. Street fighter. HOTAS or Yoke (hands on throttle and stick) - flight simsLight guns (NES Zapper, Master System, Super Scope)Powerglove Gameboy Tilt ControlsMicrophone - N64, Gamecube SNES Mouse (and N64 mouse for DD) R.O.B.Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc. Alternative controllers (that you might play any game with)NES - Max, advantage, dogbone Genesis - 6 button Playstation - the aforementioned dual shock Community:Question: I wanna hear about the weirdest 3rd party controller you've ever used. Fight Crab Fanatic — 03/28/2022 The Steam controller had a track pad instead of a right thumb stick. The pad had to be edited for every game on Steam. The trackpad had a cool haptic feedback WondrousWill — 03/28/2022 I've used the Onimusha katana for PS2. I remember it somehow being better than I expected, but not good enough to use a 2nd time. Fortunately, it wasn't mine. It made for a very cool display piece, though. SpiderShan — 03/28/2022 Do those Wii lightsaber Wiimote holders count? Not really controllers themselves. I've always wanted a DQ Slime controller. ChrisHL94

The Duck Hunt gun, officially called the NES Zapper, seems downright primitive next to today's technology. But in the late '80s, it filled plenty of young heads with wonder.

Data East (finally) serves up a pretty solid game in the form of Irem's Kid Niki: Radical Ninja, but the real story here is Gotcha!: The Sport. Not only is it the debut release from one of the NES's most questionable publishers, it also very much represents a specific moment in popular and political culture. Gotcha! was based on a movie and a toy line, and its publisher's fortunes were impacted by poor toy sales right as the national conversation began to focus on some unfortunate results from America's gun culture and the early days of the the police's move toward militarization. That's quite a lot to tie to a simple NES Zapper game... Thanks to Steve Lin for lending the Kid Niki packaging to this endeavor!

This week I’ve got a tale of too many “Perplexi,” an oddly large number of humorous news stories about guns, a “Jackass” who wants to trade pot for a Big Mac, and I don’t care if Paul Csomo already mentioned it, in “Recommended Listening” I’m talking about Weird With You. Hope you had a great holiday, whatever holiday you celebrate. For us that would be Yule, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t give presents. But when you’ve got 4 boys who get jealous of everything, you have to have a strategy. For example, buying them all different versions of the same toy. In our case that toy would be the Perplexus. If you haven’t seen one, a Perplexus is a 3 dimensional puzzle, usually within a sphere, where the goal is to move a ball from a starting point through 100+ turns and obstacles to the end without falling off the track. Just because it’s labeled ages 8 and up, this is no easy task, and once you start playing you will get sucked in to the game by sheer frustration… We bought 4. Not only did we buy 4, but we bought 4 different versions. We got the Original, the Epic, the Mini Twist, and the World’s Smallest Perplexus, which is an original that is about the size of a tennis ball. And every single one has had everybody in the house occupied since opening them up. -BS From The News--Man Uses Taped Up NES Gun To Rob BanksA man in Mexico used an old NES Zapper toy, wrapped in electrical tape, to rob as many as 15 banks.-New York Town Holds Toy Gun Buyback Program To Change Gun CultureIn an attempt to change American’s culture of using guns, one New York town has started a program to buy back toy guns in exchange for other toys. They feel that if they get the kids to stop using toy guns, that they wont want to use real guns later.-Baltimore Takes In Rocket Launcher During Gun Buy BackDuring a recent gun buyback event, somebody arrived to turn in their rocket launcher. It was unloaded, and now authorities are trying to track down how the owner came to possess it.-Jackass Of The Week--Florida Man Tries To Trade Weed For McDonald’sWhile going through the drive thru of his local McDonald’s, a 23 year old man attempted to pay for his food with a bag of marijuana.Apparently he thinks that Florida is still under the barter system. He returned later that day, supposedly with cash, and was later arrested based on employee descriptions.-Recommended Listening-Weird With You"Take a break from reality with a quirky couple who discusses WEIRD topics and goes on fun tangents every Wednesday, for your amusement. We tackle strange news stories, pop culture oddities, and existential questions with irreverence and imagination. We’ve got ridiculous segments, impressions, special guests, hilarious fake ads & more!

Does the Power Glove get unfairly dumped on? It didn't work well and was the centre piece of Nintendo's early 90's marketing strategy featuring prominently in The Wizard - a movie that only deserves ironic praise. That said, it was a proof of concept for the motion controls that ultimately propelled the Wii into a cultural powerhouse. Stian and Danny consider some of the oddball peripherals that hit the market (plus a few that didn't) and weigh whether they ought to be banished to obscurity as gimmicks or if they really are the product of genius. The Sega Activator, the Atari Mindlink, the NES Zapper, the Game Gear TV tuner and something that lets you play the Wii in your car are among the gadgets we get into on this episode of retro gaming podcast Passion for Pixels!
