With the Switch being completely portable and prior to that, handhelds being somewhat on par with actual consoles... What are some funny console gaming set ups you've come up with over the years?
Here's some examples of what I'm talking about.
2 years ago, first anniversary with the Wife. We took an extended weekend and camped at 3 different state parks. The first night we were directly in the eye of the storm, just raining like it's a biblical event. I brought the Wii U in case of such event (state parks generally have electrical outlets at each site). While it rained, I had the Wii U hooked up in the tent and played Breath of the Wild, wife was on the Switch with Mario Odyssey. We ate Cheez-Its.
When I was a teenager we took a family trip to Disney World. Drove from Michigan, it's like a 24 hour drive. My older brother and I had a 13" TV in the van and had a PSX hooked up to it. We played THPS2 pretty much the whole time, it was amazing. I'm still impressed that the minivan cigarette lighter outlet was enough to power a TV and PSX.
When I was a child, we had this tiny ass portable TV that ran on batteries. The screen was like 3". I don't remember how we did it but my brother and I somehow hooked the SNES up to the portable TV via an RF adaptor and we were playing Street Fighter 2 on a screen roughly the size of an old Nokia cellphone, lol. The TV had a magnifier you could attach that made the screen appear slightly larger.
it was something similar to this, can't remember the brand.
Anyone have any similar stories? I'd love to hear them. I get such a kick out of daisy chaining shit together in order to get stuff to work
