Fizz Creations has packed STREET FIGHTER II: Champion Edition into a tiny HDMI dongle—no separate console required. Plug it into your TV, connect the power, grab one of the two wireless controllers, and you’re ready to fight… at least, that’s the promise. In this video, I unbox the Fizz Creations STREET FIGHTER II Duel Plug & Play, get everything connected, and put it through its paces. How do the unusual controllers feel? How well does the game play? And does this console-free setup deliver a satisfying arcade experience—or is “plug and play” doing some heavy lifting? Let’s plug it in and find out! #fightinggames #retrogaming #fizz #genxgrownup @fizzcreations - SHOP https://genxgrownup.com/shopfizz 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 Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 SF2 PnP 01:25 Box & Contents 04:03 HDMI Brain 05:17 Real Manual 06:16 Controller Design 10:58 Power On 13:20 Ryu 14:55 Dhalsim 15:37 Blanka 16:57 Conclusion

Shop X-Arcade: https://genxgrownup.com/xgaming Digital games are convenient, but convenience isn’t ownership. Let’s talk about why physical media still matters, what changes when games are tied to accounts and storefronts, and why the things on our shelves still have a story to tell. - 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 Physical is Dead! 01:45 A Library 02:43 Meaning of Ownership 03:49 The Tradeoff 05:21 Fragility of Access 06:25 Temporary Menu 07:01 Preservation 09:01 Leaving Evidence 10:31 Not For Everyone 11:45 Not Just Nostalgia

Shop Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox Fizz Creations has turned Atari’s classic Asteroids into a tiny LCD keychain game—but this definitely isn’t the arcade original squeezed onto a little screen. Instead, it takes the basic idea of Asteroids and reworks it into something much simpler, more like the vintage handheld games of the ’70s and ’80s. In this video, I unbox it, check out the hardware and controls, see how the LCD gameplay actually works, and find out whether this little Asteroids keychain is more than just a novelty.

The CULTIC live playthrough continues! We finally finished off The Chapel last week, and now we’re about halfway through The Asylum Grounds — which, somehow, feels like the game looked at everything we already survived and said, “Cute. Now try this.” Join the GXG crew as we keep blasting our way through CULTIC’s brutal retro FPS action, creepy cultist chaos, hidden secrets, panic reloads, and whatever nightmare is waiting deeper in the asylum. Come hang out live, chat with us, and help me survive another round of old-school shooter mayhem! #CULTIC #RetroFPS #BoomerShooter #HorrorFPS #LiveStream #PCGaming #IndieGames #RetroGaming #GenXGrownUp #GXG

ATARI is asking nearly $1,000 for its new collection of 39 physical ACTIVISION cartridge re-releases — and plenty of people are calling that price outrageous. But is it really? Rather than argue about whether $1,000 simply feels like too much, I decided to run the numbers. In this video, I compare Atari’s new collection with what these same games cost when they were originally released, what those prices represent in today’s dollars, and what it would cost now to assemble the same 39-game collection using original cartridges, boxes, and manuals. The results put that $999.96 price tag into a very different perspective. What do you think? Is Atari charging too much, or does the price make more sense once you see the comparison?
