Random: WandaVision's Latest Episode Sneaks In Some Nintendo References

I've been enjoying Wandavision, so I'm happy to see something that was personally relevant during that time period.

I too play GameCube with controllers that have had their cords removed.

I misread "WandaVision" as "Senran Kagura".

Ahhhh I haven’t watched this week’s episode, avoid avoid avoid! That said, as a huge Wiccan fan, I am very very happy with this show so far.

@Deliesh Good thing you commented in before I did, because I would have been a lot less gentle.

@IronMan30 Please refer to Deliesh's comment

@idrawrobots
They're Gamecube controllers that were formally Wii remotes created from Wanda's reality distorting itself. Not having wires is the least weirdest part of what's happening!

I don't know. It looks kinda bad.

@DrDaisy
WandaVision? Nah, I thought the same thing. The beginning is a bit slow, but you can skip the first two episodes and you wouldn’t have missed much.

From there, it’s a really fun ride.

I miss Daredevil great show better than the majority of comic movies and this endless assault of pop culture references.

@SalvorHardin You must have missed the episode of Daredevil where he would beat up ninjas only to pause, turn to camera and start advertising prime real estate in Tenerife.

But doesn’t it come out tommorow?

Wandavision is pretty fun. The writing gets a bit iffy in certain places, and they only just figured out pacing existed, but it is definitely worth the watch, don't deter my negativity from watching it. I just had high expectations for this specifically, don't know why, but watch it.

My favorite show about an insane hero.

@HotGoomba But... What about the Freelance Police?

Not gonna lie, I still feel like the theme song should be Wanda Wanda from the katamari OST.

Honestly I haven't watched anything Marvel since Endgame. I had an outright blast with the MCU but after Endgame I am content. I don't feel any real need or desire for the series to continue. I know there are stories to tell and things they can and are doing with the series, but for me, all that build up and the awesome finale that was Endgame was enough. I don't see how they could ever match that, let alone top it.

It is kind of neat to see actual game controllers in things, instead of the generic heavily scrubbed 3rd party things designed to be as unidentifiable as possible.

Wireless GameCube controllers?

Really tired of Marvel stuff so I'm going to pass on the show, but yeah I really love spotting stuff like this in movies/shows. Wouldn't surprise me though if the sound effects of them playing the game sounded like an atari game, they always seem to mess that up, lol.

@NatiaAdamo Oh, you got me there.

Wandavision is a pretty surprise for me. Normally I am not that hot on superheroes (the avengers for example left me cold for the most part), but this series is really good, really intriguing. If their other Marvel series might be this good, well bring them on then!

I'm pretty sure Wanda says 'get off the PlayStation' too.

The attention to detail is immense so I don't think it's a mistake, just Wanda's version of reality piecing together random things.

@OnlyItsMeReid this is from episode 6, last Friday.

Missed opportunity to have hanafuda cards instead of uno

@Rhaoulos that was the point.

Yeah was neat to see wiimotes and gamecube controllers for a few seconds.

Good episode. Only 2 left. Hope it goes BANANAS.

I'm really hoping this show is one huge set up to pull a reverse House of M.

@IronMan30 I had a doubt. Good thing I wasn't aggressive

@ProudGrimleal
At least with the Wavebird some wireless GameCube controllers exists. But wireless Atari Joysticks? Maybe with infrared...

SPOILERS people, I just woke up. 😝

I love the Marvel movies but haven't any desire to watch the TV shows for some reason...

I have not watched WandaVision yet, but I would imagine they used Gamecube and Wii controllers because they were different enough to get the point across about the time jump. If you put a PS2 controller next to a PS5 controller, they're really not that different. Especially at a quick glance. The OG Xbox controller may have worked in a side by side with the current Xbox controller, but they're still not as different as the Gamecube and Wii controllers.

@Dethmunk
I mean to be fair, the beginning IS a little slow... xd

@rjejr Spiritually or normally?

@idrawrobots Stark industries gamecube remotes

@ProudGrimleal right? RIGHT? I got so angry being forced to see this so much!

@Jayofmaya I had to check the time I posted, since it was before 9AM Friday I'm going to go w/ normally, I don't wake up spiritually until after my 2nd cup of coffee w/ lunch. 😁

@rjejr Haha I know what you mean, I remain in sleepy brain waves for longer periods now thanks to still being in a lockdown here xD

@Jayofmaya I'm a stay-at-home dad, I've been in lockdown for 17 years, which was fine, plenty to do as a homemaker. But these last 11 months of lockdown w/ my wife and kids has been a whole of other level of lockdown. I drove my son to school this morning - every other day now - and my wife to the train station to go into the office for the first time since March 16th of last year and on the way I threatened to stop the car twice and make them both walk. Ah Monday mornings w/ the fam. 😂

@rjejr Haha a bit of exercice never hurt anyone Yeah! That's the thing, isn't it? Sometimes it seems easier to live with kids all the time than it does other adults! I have a 3 year old so whilst he is demanding sometimes he is still learning rapidly and because nursery isn't open me and his mom are the only source of learning really, so I'm kept very busy at the moment as well. Good to hear you're doing well, though

@Jayofmaya Wow was that just Monday? Feels like a week ago. I really have no sense of time anymore. Enjoy time with your 3 year old. 😀

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
