Description Requested by

I had some trouble with this; I couldn't figure out how ponies could hold a video game controller. And then, for some reason, people at Smack Jeeves started posting images of old/obscure video game consoles, which pointed me in the right direction. So, they're playing some kind of Atari/SNES hybrid. Or something. It's old and belonged to Applejack and Big Macintosh when they were young.

If they would manage to0 beat Ghosts'n'Goblins (without breaking the pad or the console), THAT would certainly earn 'em a cutie mark XD

That, or Ninja Gaiden (can't get past that goddamn 4th act (always dies at the boss)).

LukeTheRipper In reply to POLE7645 [2013-03-05 09:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Wouldn't say so, Ninja Gaiden was a hard game, as were many other classic games such as the Megaman series, Castlevania, Battletoads, but not exactly the same difficulty level as G'n'G |D

Butterscotch25 In reply to LukeTheRipper [2012-01-20 17:40:23 +0000 UTC]

And it would probably be a pretty awesome cutie mark at that!

Shudderbrush [2012-01-16 03:37:12 +0000 UTC]

Looks to me like the redesigned top-loading NES and an "ADVANTAGE" controller - [link]

... totally the controller of choice for ponies.

No seriously ... I can't think of another game controller ever created that would be easier for a pony to use than that. A joystick and only two major face buttons, each the size of a silver dollar (not including the "Start" and "Select" buttons, and those little Turbo toggles) ... I have heard of a guy who beat Super Mario Bros. 3 with his FEET using one of those.

(I have one of those actually. It's kind of awesome. ... sort of like the Super-Scope for the SNES. It doesn't make gameplay any easier, but somehow you just feel a little bit cooler while using it.)

Anyway ... YAY for adorable CMC's!

Butterscotch25 In reply to Shudderbrush [2012-01-16 03:52:11 +0000 UTC]

Ohh, hey, I seem to remember that controller. I don't think we had one, but a friend or maybe our cousin did.

Alternatively, they could use a ponified Powr Glove that actually doesn't suck somehow. You could call it artistic license!
