You've surely noticed that almost every modern game controller puts the directional controls on the left and the action buttons on the right. Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo -- pretty much everybody. But here’s the thing - That layout wasn't always the standard. In fact, some of the earliest home console controllers were ambidextrous, or even designed to be held in the left hand while working the joystick with the right. So how did we end up with the layout we all take for granted today, and is it wrong? #retrogaming #handheldgaming #genxgrownup - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Pre-Order: https://amzn.to/4thuvTF PLAION Replai: https://plaionreplai.us/ Introducing the NEOGEO AES+, the legendary video game console, now reborn with its iconic high quality design and unmistakable arcade-grade build. The NEOGEO AES+ is a hardware-faithful reimplementation of the original Japanese machine, keeping all aspects that made it an icon of the 90s, whilst adding modern features and quality-of-life improvements for the modern era of gaming. Gameplay on the NEOGEO AES+ is not achieved through emulation - instead the console is powered by its legacy ASIC chips, re-engineered by modern standards to accurately replicate the original machine's hardware and software. The system natively plays game software from both new and old game cartridges for the most authentic retro gaming experience. Not emulation, not FPGA approximation, but true console reincarnation etched back into silicon. While maintaining the original look and feel, the NEOGEO AES+ implements modern-day quality-of-life features such as low-latency HDMI display output (whilst also including the original AV output for CRT enthusiasts), DIP switches for language selection, overclocking and different display modes, and the ability to store permanent High Scores (Memory Card accessory required). #retrogaming #neogeo #genxgrownup - LINKS Full Reveal Trailer: https://youtu.be/n2tr25dJFz8 - SHOP Pre-Order: https://amzn.to/4thuvTF http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming When ModRetro launched the Chromatic, one of the biggest questions was whether it would become a thriving platform or simply a great handheld with a limited software library. Fast forward to today, and new releases continue to arrive—including Atari's new '90s Rewind Collection, featuring remastered versions of Asteroids '92, Centipede '98, and Super Breakout '99. With the M64 on the horizon, many retro gamers are asking the same question again: will ModRetro continue supporting new hardware after launch? In this video, I take a look at Atari's Chromatic release and what it might tell us about the ModRetro's long-term commitment to its growing retro ecosystem. - LINKS (relevant links mentioned in video) - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 M64 to Chromatic 01:45 Box & Contents 03:15 Super Breakout 05:08 Asteroids 10:55 Centipede 14:15 Summary

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox This week on Friday Plays, I take to the skies with Snoopy and the Red Baron for the Atari 2600. Released late in the console’s original life, this licensed Peanuts game looks surprisingly polished and turns Snoopy’s famous Flying Ace routine into a colorful dogfight filled with falling treats, risky pickups, and one very good idea Atari may have asked to carry the entire game.
