Jeremy Parish‘s latest video is the first into a deep dive on Epoch’s consoles. Episode 1 is about Yosaku

On the flip side, this [completely one-sided nerd rivalry](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1sb8k4ZPagagqXy965qb50LMbUS4hKXP) is turning into a funny shōnen manga arc.
(The following has nothing to do with SNK anymore but) the vibe I get from Parish’s intro video is that he will talk about Epoch hardware in general, not just the Cassette Vision, so I hope he gets to discuss the Game Pocket Computer (1984) as well.

Could it be the Saudi Oil Baron Seal of Quality? The S.O.B.S.?
edit: got my 8bitdo neogeo pad today. The microswitches feel good!

I for one am really enjoying this controller. Yesterday I went to mindlefbody‘s crib and played a ton of SNK games and beat Metal Slug 001 with it. There is a workaround to use it with Switch. It is lame that apparently FUNIVERSE is preventing them from adding features? but we really don’t know what's going on yet.
@"◉◉maru"#p128595 this video was exactly what I wanted and am now on a Metal Slug kick!
The article on the real life MMA connections to Buriki One is very much THE GOOD SHIT

Speaking of games you could play any time…

@“treefroggy”#p129442 ah, I was going to post about this in the controllers thread, but that is a huge bummer. I got two of them – and while it‘s ultimately on me for not reading up beforehand – it was a major letdown to finally crack them open and slowly realize that I couldn’t get them working on my Raspberry Pi or Switch. I didn‘t even think about that before buying, as I’ve owned no less than four different 8bitdo controller varieties and they all just pair with both of those platforms seamlessly and instantly. So for me, they‘re limited strictly to PC and that means I’ll be using them a lot less.
As controllers, though, they are excellent. Aside from that major bummer (and I do think it's majorly shitty), my only material complaint is that they've got _too many fonts_ on 'em, which is obviously a really picky pick. The recreation of the Neo Geo CD stick feels just about perfect to me, and that's what everyone's here for, anyways
@“tokucowboy”#p130967 I got my 8bitdo usb 2 in the mail today, I can now use mine on switch or whatever.
@“treefroggy”#p130988 ah, good to know that exists, but I‘m swimming in 8bitdongles over here and can’t justify 40 more bones at the moment after dropping $75 on the controllers. I'll stick with Neo Geo emulation on PC and keep an eye out for those thangs cheap someday, thanks
This is soo cool. Learned about this special control when SNK 40th Anniversary Collection came out. An incredibly unique system and I'm amazed someone is making a new one.

I guess this is a big deal?
Edit: I thought some kind of preview would pop up. So here you go:

Has anyone posted this yet? You know what, I‘m not gonna bother to peruse this thread to verify. Here’s a Christmas-themed menu theme courtesy of The King of Fighters XIV.

What a cool animation. I presume this is from a game and not fan made.
