hey it's mixed out with the verge and we're here with the retro bit mega table at e3 2017 this is effectively a coffee table shaped nest controller so it's you know a normal coffee table but it also has volumes built right in so you can play all sorts of classic NES games it's got a d-pad over here you got to start and select button in the middle and you have your AV X&Y blends over here on the right it effectively plugs into a an emulator box via USB it also plugs into PC or Mac or you can plug it into your original NES console as you have one of those from there it just plays regular games just like any of any other controller the company that's making it retro biz many I'm selling it via Kickstarter they want to get a campaign going in the next 1 to 2 months when they're hoping to ship it in October for five hundred dollars so we've seen some things like this before some retro controllers from old-school throwbacks like it's a game developers conference in San Francisco but never before have I seen a coffee table sized NES controller it is really fun to use even if it is kind of clunky and weird and like you're not going to be very good at the games you're playing but that's it it's still a really really interesting and well-designed device so far I've been playing this game vanishing racer it's actually a game from Japan has never been released in the US before they have it on emulation here and it's pretty pretty difficult to play with this controller but once you get the hang of you're able to jump over cars and you know basically it's great for kind of very simple controls where you only need to move left or right or jump within a button if you're into a retro video game gear this is definitely something that you might want to look into that's it it's not a great game controller it might be way better as a really awesome looking coffee table for more e3 news check out the verge comm subscribe to us on YouTube youtube.com slash The Verge
