 Hey, it's Nick Stout with The Verge, and we're here with the Retro-Bit Mega Table at E3 2017. This is effectively a coffee table-shaped NES controller. So it's, you know, a normal coffee table, but it also has buttons built right in, so you can play all sorts of classic NES games. It's got a D-pad over here, you've got a start and select button in the middle, and you have your A, B, X, and Y buttons over here on the right. It effectively plugs into an emulator box via USB, it also plugs into PC or Mac, or you can plug it into your original NES console if you have one of those. From there, it just plays regular games, just like any other controller. The company that's making it, Retro-Bit, is planning on selling it via Kickstarter. They want to get a campaign going in the next one to two months, and they're hoping to ship it in October for $500. So we've seen some things like this before, some retro controllers, some old-school throwbacks, like at the 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 you're not going to be very good at the games you're playing. But that said, it's still a really, really interesting and well-designed device. So far, I've been playing this game, Banishing Racer. It's actually a game from Japan that's never been released in the U.S. 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 it, you're able to jump over cars, and basically, it's great for very simple controls, where you're only needing to move left or right or jump with an A button. If you're into retro video game gear, this is definitely something that you might want to look into. That said, it's not a great game controller. It might be way better as a really awesome-looking coffee table. For more A3 news, check out TheVerge.com and subscribe to us on YouTube at YouTube.com slash TheVerge.
