4 Hours of Nintendo's Wildest Peripherals & Controllers | Punching Weight Greatest Hits | SSFF

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!

If uncle Derek thinks I am going to watch the entirety of this video then he is absolutely right

42:21 “but to be fair the e-Reader is a way dumber method, so that’s a point in my book” Derek just perfectly described this channel in a single sentence. I love it

The thing I love about Uncle Derek and Producer Grace's videos is the comfy vibes they all give off. Even though it's obvious that a lot of in-depth research goes into them, they still feel like one of your friends telling you about this neat thing they're interested in.

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.

I love that you turned the HVGN into a career for yourself, and made your channel your own, rather than a spinoff of another fellow on YT lol. One of my favorite channels.

For one brief moment I thought you had 3.5 hours worth of something to say about a Nintendo peripheral.

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

3:44 Loving the random use of Tomba! theme music here. I feel like this game hasn't gotten enough recognition over the years!

Yo, Derek, I can't tell you how inspirational your long-form deep-dive videos into the obscurity of video gaming have been over the years! I am still plugging away at my Waterworld focused YouTube channel and I just got to 1000 subs! Thank you so much for your motivation, it's keeps me going too!

Cowards are too afraid to upload 4 hour videos, but I truly hate watching anything under hours. Derek, you’re a hero.

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

I just found this video and I can't tell you how happy I am to have my young new uncle walk me back through every peripheral I forgot I ever owned.

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.

is this an invitation to stay up till 4 am while also rewatching some ssff classics?

Coolest DS slot peripheral I owned is a purpleish GBA cart that has a 3.55mm headphone jack and a couple of buttons and it gets power from the DS. What it was is a FM radio, so you can listen to the radio while playing a ds game on the go.

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.

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

I remember having a GBA to GC Link Cable. I loaned it to a friend and she'd let me play Pokemon Colosseum. In the end she asked if she could keep the cable and I could keep Colosseum. She beat it multiple times already, so I felt it was a fair trade.

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.
