YouTuber Aura Puffs assigned themselves a seemingly impossible task: using only one SNES controller simultaneously play through Megaman X and Megaman X2. The limitations also include no save states, pausing one game while playing another, or anything else that would take most of the challenge out of the process.
Despite the craziness behind the attempt, Aura Puffs finishes in about three hours. The level of multi-tasking required is mind-boggling.
