We've been making Punching Weights for six goddamn years, so I decided to put together a mega-video of all the times we covered Nintendo peripheral doodads. I hope it'll help you study, sleep, or relive the weird, ambitious and unnecessary!

Hey Uncle Derek, did you know that there is a thing you can use that N64 Mouse for that you didn´t cover already? There is a ScummVM port to N64 that allows you to play a few PC Point & Click Adventures on real N64 Hardware via a Everdrive and it supports the N64 Mouse. If that isn´t a dumb, unnecessary way of playing such games, I don´t know what is.

Not gonna lie, this is a really cool way to bring more attention to older content. Really convenient to do a deep dive into the content.

Also with the way KZread is nowadays creators have to do shit they may otherwise not want to do for clicks because that's what gets them money. At the end of the day every channel is a business and businesses are about making money. Don't like it? Don't click. It's really that easy. No reason to be a jackass.

Ah the movie, I was thinking of SeaWorld and frowning at the idea of some sort of super supporter of sad and stressed out animals totally unfit for a life in captivity as entertainment. But, hopefully you're aware that your niche is alot more limited than the subject of gaming. Which might sound like a negative thing at first but yeah hang on, I think it's inevitable to be disappointed if you're expecting similar numbers and never getting there but if you look at it realistically I would probably guess that 1000 subs are already pretty darn successful considering it's such a limited topic. Like among other waterworld channels you're probably among the biggest, which I would consider a good thing. So if that's your thing you might already have succeeded, unless there indeed are much bigger waterworld channels to fairly compare with. And if you ever want to expand the scope of the channel I think it's likely to grow much faster than when starting out because with 1000 subs the ball is in motion so your videos might actually show up to people who then have the choice to decide if they like it. So I think the hardest bump of being close to invisible is already conquered.

Whenever I have a crap day, Uncle Derek comes clutch with banger videos. Thanks Uncle Derek, for keeping me sane during these trying times. ❤️

Lol, dude, I just realised something hilarious. Lately I have started watching the recent videos on this channel, because I just got a random urge to play and research retro consoles. Then later I looked up what NES games I still have on my PC from the last time I played an emulator years ago and I noticed "Metal Storm". I couldn't remember where I knew the game from, but after a while figured out that it must have been from this bizarro alternative version of AVGN that I watched ages ago, the "Happy Video Game Nerd". I was wondering what that guy must be doing nowadays and then suddenly realised that these are the same channels! Congrats on keeping up the youtube game through all these years.

So impressive that you managed all this in 1 take! The set and costume changes must've been rehearsed to perfection!

I'm loving this. I can't help but expect something like a How The West Was Worse collection. Which WILL happen, right?

This is great. I tend to sleep on long youtube compilation videos or playlists of creators I enjoy. Also, nice touch crediting the editors for each video in the time codes.(RIP Daisy).

Has anyone else watched this video several times now? I’m def over 5 times now. It’s just something easy to throw on in the background and listen to. Uncle Derek’s voice (and Producer Grace every so often), is so very comforting and relaxing.

Man, the KZread algorithm was really lacking behind with this one and your channel. Instantly subscribed, like, shared & rewinded. Crazy good channel and content. In the ever so improving KZread sphere it’s easy to forget how good and well researched and presented these videos are and how big publishing firms and TV channels just can’t compete with this, no matter how hard they try. No hate, just pure love for this one ☝🏻 🎉 I purchased the steam deck two months ago and play a lot of retro 64bit era Games on it and ever since, I unintentionally stumble down the heartwarming and stunning KZread retro 64 bit novelty gear & tech explanation rabbit hole. It’s just great! Thanks for this trip! ❤

I just want to say I appreciate you for not taking yourself too seriously and still being able to provide super obscure information that's entertaining at the same time, good stuff man.

Brilliant, Daddy Derek! I love it! I'm gonna end up marathoning these just like I do the seasons of AVGN.

Now this is a video I'll be using for bg work noise. Thanks a bunch for making it Uncle Derek! 🙏

DK64 was actually made with the expansion pack in mind from an early point in development according to the devs, the rumors about the bug come from someone who wasn’t even part of the team for the project, at least according to what appears to be the most accurate information I’ve found in the past.

I have watched these videos so many times I'm really glad you made this. I can recite some of them and it's really great to listen and laugh to when I'm working in the house. Your videos always make me smile

I always look for the longest video I can find when I'm trying to fall asleep. This is it.

Thank you for this Uncle Derek, you should make a playlist/more long compilations. I love sleeping to these kinds of videos!

Love these long compilations! Need more of them!

Now this is what I sub for

As a Canadian, I really appreciate "C to shining C". Also, they totally should've ported MYST to the DS and used that keyboard for the organ puzzle.

Ah... the sounds of the E-reader bring back so many memories! I miss that. SMA4SMB3 was such a missed opportunity. I spent so long to get everything I could for that game, and finished it all. I will say the item cards pretty much made it way too easy.

OH MY GOD! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! Goodbye snowy, icy outside and frens! Uncle Derek just released 4 HOURS OF VIDEO!!!

I was finally directed to this video. Such an amazing bit of history. I saw the section on Pacman Vs. I never got to play it before it arrived on the Nintendo Switch. I had a lot of fun with it around 3 years ago, at a Christmas Party with cousins of mine. We used the main switch for the TV and the Ghosts, and I also had a Switch Lite for the person who played Pac-man. It worked perfectly, and yeah, a great party game. At the time, it was played between sessions of Mario Kart 8 DX and Smash Ultimate. I was staying Pacman Themed, when I could, so I also played Pacman in Smash then. I'm also one of the lucky ones to get Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Plus, and managed to actually snag it for the original Retail price when I found it. Take note, I was looking for it for years until I found the opportune seller to get my copy. Near perfect condition, the only wear and tear is that the manual isn't completely crisp, so it's been used a little bit. But yeah, all the offline GBA stuff is with it, and I have it so it can fully run online On the Wii (with Backwards compatibility) and using the WiFI connection. Awesome!!! Basically, it's the cheapest and most effective way to play the best console version of PSO with full broadband WiFI online support and in Progressive Scan.

Weird, from my perspective, that you think the e-reader was forgotten! It and its inattainability was and still is warping my world slightly. Oh well. :)

On behalf of the Boktai community, thanks for talking about the interaction between Lunar Knights and the Boktai games (and also the one between Boktai and MMBN5DS!)

I believe the Episode 1 Racer dual controller cheat had player 1 use slots 1 & 3 so that a second player could use slots 2 & 4 - this way the basic game inputs for multiplayer wouldn't need to be changed on the basis of of a single cheat code.
