I got something really cool in today you guys might remember that before I did a video on a ps4 Pro that was painted in the style of retro ps1 colors well now there are also joy Kahn's done in the style of the original NES now I actually haven't opened or look at these yet I know the basic idea but beyond that I don't know what they look like so let's open up and check them out so let's get this one first so this is the right yeah right joy gone no left droidcon I'm terrible with directions maybe I should take that I know the frames better than you do Kevin oh this is cool right here torso right away so obviously the droidcon doesn't have a d-pad it just has the four buttons so they outline it to actually give the actual detent language I think the NES controller had that too just a little white outline to it it's black here they got the select button so next let's check out the right one oh okay so already I really like this one because they actually redid the buttons on it so the original one had red buttons like this but these are actually the redone to being gloss and then the lettering is obviously put on the outside they even did a little square box around each button too except now it's like a diamond pattern because there's four of them these are definitely also old-school NES colors you know looking at these is actually really interesting to think about wise and Tendo controllers look the way they did because if you ever seen actual Famicom controller they are nothing like other than button placement the reason for this can be attributed to the games crash of 1983 basically a flood of really bad games made consumers not want to buy game consoles anymore and those retailers didn't want to carry them but Nintendo wanted to sell the Famicom in the US so the way they went about it was trying really really hard to make people believe it wasn't actually a game system but something else thus why it has such duller more boring colors compared to the Famicom was bright one their first attempt of this is what they called the Nintendo advanced video system where it wasn't actually a game console it was a home personal computer it was a full set up including a keyboard mouse and actually tried using wireless connection for everything using infrared now this is an idea that intrigued a lot of people but not enough for anyone actually willing to buy it so instead Nintendo had to try again with what we now know as the Nintendo Entertainment System with you the one to witness the birth of the incredible Nintendo Entertainment System the goal here was to embrace that it is still a fun thing there are games involved but it's not a game console it's a toy that's why a lot of old-school advertisements and even the boxes for it use different terms like calling it a control deck instead of game console or game packs instead of game cartridges and why there was a huge emphasis on things like the zapper is it the famous zapper Everett so much about the one and only ray call me captain or rob the robots to make it seem like a kid toy instead of just a gaming system that's even why it was bundled with a game like duck hunt which was a more kind of gimmicky game at not something more traditional fast forwards now and that's why these joy cons have this particular color scheme going on so with all that in mind let's actually take an up-close comparison and look at these joy cons with a classic style NES controller now there's a couple things I already talked about that you can see when they're actually side by side we've got the red gloss finish on the button a main black look to the system but still getting a great trim around it red lettering that says what buttons are what on the outside not on the button itself and the little gray squares around the buttons also like I said we don't have a d-pad gear so instead they have the same d-pad outlined that is on the actual school controller now what's really cool about this is that they did try recreating the look of an NES controller I mean that's why you have all black here but what I think it'd be really cool is that they also start selling a grip that's done to actually capture this middle bit right here where you get the gray bars I mean obviously you're not going to have the start like button there because it moved up but be a really cool looking combo so there you have it color Wars NES retro style joy cons these are available right now so if you want to check them out I've linked down below in the description and I will catch you guys later
