Been meaning to check out MG2 and I want to give the Prime trilogy another shot even though I didn't like the original that much. Can you play them on the gamepad screen?

you pretty much need the wiimote and nunchuck for any games that were originally released on the wii. i think you can use the gamepad as a screen though since it has a wiimote sensor on it, but that would be awkward

A brand name and the word GAMING in their marketing. That said they look like decently nice glasses anyways, so maybe they're not just $10 pieces of poo poo?

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

the wiimote + nunchuck setup is actually real comfortable, you can just relax both arms and flop them anywhere you want, and it's not like its really motion controlled, just has a shake-activated spinjump. try it before u deny it!!!

mostly the frames, really. nice glasses frames are expensive.

also im told the anti-reflective coating will start to wear off on the cheapo glasses but i have no idea if that's true or not

They're just polarised glasses with a lovely yellow tint to them. You can get clear ones in similar frames for cheaper.

Gimmick controllers loving rule.

NES advantage. The fishing one for the n64. The RPG controller for the PSX.

there's actually one that attaches to a real m16a1 for the army and i like to think like 10% of them were from people who forgot to unload it and blew the gently caress out of the TV

you can also get polarised glasses tinted in pretty much all the colours of the rainbow for cheaper, so if you wanna make the world look like it's permanently covered in urine, there's cheaper options out there
