As the saying goes, a good saddle matches a good horse, and a fun game should naturally be paired with a good game equipment.
But throughout the decades of video game history, there have always been hardware manufacturers that don't play their cards as usual.
If I take out the following game peripherals, what should you do? ”
01 Pocket sonar
Have you ever seen a game peripheral that can fish in the real world?
This "pocket sonar", a collaboration between Bandai and Nintendo, will do just that.
As long as the player inserts the "Pocket Sonar" cartridge on the GB game console, and then throws the sonar device connected to the cartridge into the water, it can detect the distance of about 20 meters in the water, relying on sonar induction, whether there are fish nearby, what is the depth of the water and other information will be displayed on the screen of the game console.
02 Chainsaw handle
Players who are familiar with "Resident Evil" should understand at a glance that this "chainsaw" is the one in the hands of the "Resident Evil 4" boss chainsaw man.
In addition to its cool styling and perfect fit with the game style, the chainsaw controller is also a topic of conversation among many biochemical players. Because the producer of "Biochemical" swore that the 4th generation would only land on the NGC platform, with his own head as a guarantee (English mistakenly translated), but he was soon backstabbed by the company, and the game was ported to various platforms.
So some players joked, if he bought this chainsaw handle for Ping ** Zhan back then, it would be used to let the producer fulfill his promise.
03 Energy Gloves
The concept of VR became popular back in the 80s, and this energy glove is proof of that.
It is a dedicated peripheral for Nintendo FC game consoles, and when you wear it, you can directly control the game through hand movements!
Although the control accuracy is poor and the sense of delay is noticeable, the release date of this device is 1989! VR has not really become popular until today, and VR-like play peripherals have been around for more than 30 years, which has to be said to be too advanced.
04 r.o.b.Robots
This is a peripheral designed by Nintendo in 1985 in order to enter the collapsed North American game market, with the aim of "camouflaging" the game console as a children's toy, so as to reduce customer antipathy to the game console.
So how does this robot play? Quite simply, its eyes will receive the flashing signal of the TV screen, and then make movements such as turning the waist, raising the hand, grabbing, etc., which can be played with the actions of the characters on the screen.
As a hero who helped Nintendo open up the North American market, Ro.b.He also often appears as a guest character in many games such as "Mario Kart" and "Super Smash Bros.
05 Death Musket Console
Dead Musket, with its terrible graphics and gameplay, was once considered the worst video game in Japan! But the manufacturer spoiled it and designed a ridiculously large but somewhat cool gaming console specifically for it.
This console is 2 meters tall alone! And the appearance is very strange, it looks like a alien statue, many players complained, those who could afford this equipment back then were local tyrants, because the hall at home must not be small ......
There are thousands of strange peripherals, but to this day, the most common gamepad is still accepted by the majority of players. Moreover, some handles with high precision are also not low in "playability".
For example, Brother Tong's favorite Beitong Zeus2,It can replace the joystick according to different game types、Buttons and other components,The operation feels more comfortable——In the final analysis,Game peripherals are still products to improve the game experience,Creativity is important,But only by doing a good job of practical creativity,In order to win the real applause of players。
