Welcome back to The Nintendo Report, where we’re taking a look at Nintendo’s intellectual properties in alphabetical order to see how they’re doing. This is a company that has an astronomical number of brands under its belt, but for reasons defying logic (at least in my mind) only keeps a small number of them active at a time. This time, we're looking at the company's properties that begin with...

I knew this thanks to the Gaming Historian’s video on Punch-Out!!
That guy's videos are great!
When I was a kid I always assumed the snes version was the same as Genesis until I played it with my neighbor. I'll always be a fan of the Genesis version despite the controls.
They're both pretty solid games!
Good video but @4:01 I think you should have kept the original grey disc tray that is stamped compact dvd into the plastic.
can you pair more than one controller at the same time?
You can only pair one controller at a time per receiver. If you want to play multiplayer, you'll need a second Retro Receiver.
I got one for my Saturn, but it doesn't connect. No light, no nothing. Does it matter from which Saturn console or it's for all Saturn consoles?
I believe it's supposed to be universal for all Saturn consoles, but I could be wrong. Shoot us an email at support@stoneagegamer.com and someone can help you out.
There was one more (Japan-only) Balloon Fight followup that I'm surprised you missed! Tingle's Balloon Fight DS was basically Balloon Fight, but starring Tingle. (Though most people in the West try not to ever think about Tingle, so I guess it's understandable to have not thought about that one! haha)
I always think of that game in with the Zelda series instead of Balloon Fight, though I suppose it would have made sense to cover it here. I did bring it up in the Zelda Retrospectives, so I am aware of its presence!
I think ATV has been canabolized by Motorstorm...which is also dead. Apes Escape was added to PS1 classics on PSN with trophy support. So that's pretty cool!
Good point about Motorstorm. Also a shame it's dead too. But that is good news about Ape Escape!
Akumajou Densetsu and Mario 3.
What is the pallet it generates? Is it possible to change it?
"Join your RGB Blaster via usb and use blastcfg.exe to update palette or firmware. There included few sample palettes sourced from www.firebrandx.com/nespalette.html Just run set_pal_xxx.bat to install one of them" looks like there's the following palettes: classic, composite, pvm style, smooth
this game looks so good!
It's quite fun!
Is there a physical?
Not yet, but Limited Run announced one during their summer showcase earlier this year. No new info yet, but it seems one is indeed coming.
Jurassic Park classic game collection
It still is better than Nintendo's pathetic switch online service I ain't paying 50 a month to play a tiny library of old games
It's $50 a year, not $50 a month. The library's pretty decently sized now, too.
Love it! I wish I had that much room to work with.
Thanks!
Kaico copy lol. Again VGA BOX TO VGA KILLS THIS ABOVE
Does it have a 4:3 switch? I dont like the cables that stretch to 16:9. Also, what is the resolution? Is it simply a 480p pass through, or does it upscale to 720p?
No 4:3 switch, and it is a basic passthrough with no upscaling.
It's the exact same cable and packaging as the AliExpress ones, but just with a different logo. lol
Can you tell me exactly what shelves you have for all your consoles and where you got it? Thanks!
That's an IKEA Kallax unit. The glass shelves are from IKEA as well, but I think they've been discontinued.
That Pro Wrestling BGM in the back ground still slaps!!!!
RIGHT???
My All Time Zelda Ranking 🛡️🙏 #1 Majora’s Mask #2 Twilight Princess #3 A Link Between Worlds #4 Ocarina of Time #5 Breath of the Wild #6 A Link To The Past #7 Minish Cap #8 Zelda 2: Adventure of Link #9 Link’s Awakening #10 Original Legend of Zelda #11 Skyward Sword #12 Tears of the Kingdom #13 Oracle of Seasons #14 Oracle of Ages #15 Phantom Hourglass #16 Wind Waker #17 Echoes of Wisdom #18 Four Swords Adventure #19 Spirit Tracks #20 Four Swords #21 Triforce Heroes
Fascinating list! Thanks for sharing!
it'd be awesome if this controller suported calibration through a firmware update. Right now it calibrates like a modern controller, using the full ranges, makingg it inaccurate for gamecube on both, sticks and triggers.
That lack of attention to detail is usual the Achilles heel of anything from retrofighters. Not having a physical click at the bottom of the trigger travel is another massive knock against the controller
I hope they'll make a new version of the Defender with hall effect sensors
but why? it's yet another a "me too" controller
Because options are good?
will this work for emulation on mac?
I can't say with 100% certainty, but it should.
Just found this and of course it's sold out now ☠️
Just got my game and controller but i can’t seem to get anything to recognize the controller on my switch…
Oh no! You're not the first person to comment about this. I would recommend reaching out to Limited Run about it.
I've seen this same comment a few times now, which is pretty concerning. Mine worked when I plugged it in. There is a setting on the Switch to allow USB controllers. You might want to check and see if that's turned on Otherwise, you'll have to contact Limited Run Games for support. I hope you get it worked out!
How many hours can play with this controller ?
You should be able to get 12-20 hours per charge.
Thanks ill have to find it
you didn't add the piece at the top right hand corner back on. Does it fit and work when that piece is added back? I have the same exact one you showed and need to know if it will fit when that piece is added in.
I'm sorry, but my memory isn't great and this was over a year ago. Which piece didn't I put back in, exactly? I remember putting it together and it worked because I'm playing on it at the end of the video, but like I said, my memory ain't what it used to be. If you can be more specific about what piece I missed, I'll ask the guys at the shop and I'll be able to get you a more accurate answer.
I tend to think of gaming generations like: single coloured sprites, barely recognisabe slightly coloured sprites that look more like the thing they represent full colour sprites that look like cartoons low res textured, low poly count 3D higher poly count 3D with muddy lighting good looking 3D with realistic lighting With every new console or graphics card release things look a little nicer, but we're way into diminishing returns territory; games have looked superb for more than 10 years
Great video Kris! Thanks for putting it together. This was clearly a labor of love, and it shows.
Thanks for watching! These are a ton of work, but they're also really fun to put together. Glad you enjoyed it. Already working hard on the next one!
When are sega genesis hd retrovision component cables going to be available again?
Last we heard from them, they were having an issue with one of the components. They shouldn't be much longer now, though we don't have an exact ETA at this time.
100% in agreement. Except I would take some of same argument and apply it to the opinion that Bloodlines is also better than Super Castlevania 4. Sure, the latter has some crazy looking mode 7 visual effects like the rotating rooms and the barrel background. But those are really gimicky and are wasted on some of the least enjoyable levels. Bloodlines’ visuals actually add to the gameplay. As a result I prefer Bloodlines over either SNES game.
Bloodlines vs. 4 is a really interesting comparison. I know I personally like 4 better, but there's a lot of nostalgia goggles there. 4 is a super weird Castlevania because of how much freedom of movement you have. Its music is amazing, except specifically the new renditions of Beginning and Vampire Killer. And you're right about the mode 7 stuff being gimmicky. I'll have to do a proper breakdown of those two someday. It'll be fun! Thanks for watching!
@@stoneagegamer I played 4 until years later (after I played Bloodlines and Dracula X), so my opinion is probably screwed in the exact opposite direction. I totally understand how, as an early release, it smacked people with how impressive the graphics, music, and improved controls were. It IS a great game. But I always felt the Simon sprite looked like a marionette (ie Earnest Evans), the early levels were drab and basically designed. No doubt a good time overall and I have my issues with Bloodlines too. But without the “goggles” that many have, I thought 4 was kinda mid-tier for the series.
@@The76Edge The visuals in 4 are such a weird mixed bag. Even when it first came out I never thought Simon looked very good. Some stages look amazing, while others are like you said, kind of drab. I'm definitely going to have to do a side by side on these two at some point and see how well it holds up for me. Maybe next Halloween!
This was a totally fair breakdown of each game! Both are fun but bloodlines has a certain 'wow' factor... I always felt that just the idea of a Castlevania game on the Genesis/Mega Drive must have been exciting for the developers to have a new sandbox to play in and try something different. Great review!
Thank you very much!
Bloodlines is the winner
Easily, It is the better game. Many were dissapointed with Vampire kiss when it released and although I like it I would not replay the game after finishing it but Bloodlines gameplay just flows better.
What does this mean?
It's part of a larger video talking about the status of various IP Nintendo owns. th-cam.com/video/TNqlJnVrGLE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n6M-UBCUkKUcyELI
@@stoneagegamer Ah, ok. So the game is worth picking up then, but the IP is dead. Got it.
I’m with you on sotn, the PlayStation version which was a home console release and the original should be on the next compilation over the portable redub.
They need to put vampire killer on the next one, that game has never gotten any kind of compilation release and it’s such a great game, it’s better than the nes version as perfect as that title is.
Boy in fact I pre-ordered it and enjoyed it on day one and bought a second unit many years later after it was discontinued and Blockbuster Video was selling their rental units for like about 30 to $50 and still have my two units with a slew of games unfortunately both of my units are now broken and I need to find a repair center that can properly fix them so I can go back to using it again cuz I actually miss playing it
Stone Age Gamer does offer mail-in repairs on Virtual Boys. If you can't find anyone local, check out our site!
Is the original wii component compatible with Gamecube?
I got the controller today and my switch isnt finding it, is there any reason it isn't working?
I wouldn't really know where to begin on troubleshooting it. Mine detected it as soon as I plugged it in. You'll have to contact Limited Run about that.
😂❤
Pretty good with friends, not so much solo
Man, I love this series! These will go down as one of the best documentary on the Mario and Zelda series.
Thank you very much!
I’m loving the Stone Age gamer retrospectives. Great stuff guys
Thank you very much!
I just bought this. People are missing out on a cool experience. I managed to snag all the heavy hitter Atari games, plus some cool third oarty ones. Atari 50, Qomp 2, Akka Arrh, The Recharged Series and Mr Run And Jump are spectacular. NeoSprint is the best too.
Glad you're enjoying it! Yars Rising is pretty dang cool too.
This needs more views!
Thanks! We'd love more views!
Keep doing what you’re doing man, you make awesome videos
Thanks!
Jfc how did I not know about this podcast
Glad you found it!
@@stoneagegamer me too I have an hour drive to work so always looking for good longform content, cheers!
I have a 32 inch Sony Trinitron from 2006 that still works and has all the connections on the back. I thought about S Video since I am using Composite and that looks amazing on this TV, but if I’m going to upgrade I may purchase one of these components from you guys (I see a sale on the SNES Component but it’s only $1 off, not much of a sale sadly), and I hear the image quality is much better and a little brighter, so maybe it’s worth it to spend the money.
