- The history of the system that made me and many others kids at the time realize that gaming was something more than dots on a screen (looking at you, Atari 2600) and that Nintendo was more than just your average company. Back then, if you were frustrated with a game, you could write in to Nintendo and game play counselors like Kirk Starr would write back and give you advice. I wrote in to Nintendo in 1994 and got back this well-written and helpful letter from Kirk: i.imgur.com/OWE...
The above, deservedly, is partly why Nintendo made such an impression on young gamers in my day and why I always wish them well in their console ventures even though I don't own any recent Nintendo consoles.
Miss watching Icons from G4
Yep, so much nostalgia.
Spawn wave sent me to relive my very first video game console! The memories to be part of that generation of gaming is awesome to reflect back on!
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Zayden Colt instablaster ;)
i just seen that spawn wave video, now im here...back in the 80s where it all started for me
I still have my NES original, NES Top-loader and Japanese Famicom. It still holds up for me. Even after all these decades. I remember showing my one cousin who was 6 at the time how to play Duck Hunt. She enjoyed it, whenever she came over. Now, she still thinks of those times.
Loving the old school DVR interface for the commercials. Shoulda left them in! Pure nostalgia..
To think the eventual design of the NES was conceptualized within an hour. 😳🤓😀
This was officially the last great episode of G4 Icons because the King Kong episode that came after this episode would change the format of this series completely and cause the original video games centric episodes in Icons to be rebranded as Game Makers
I came from spawn wave 😁 is that guy ign peer in the video?
I like the year of 2006 and 2012 when Nintendo is #1 in the gaming industry and showing there love and knowledge of gaming to everyone. And 3 geniuses did everything Mr. Iwata, Mr. Miyamoto and Reggie
Spawn wave referred me to the video lol.
To be fair, if you're Brazilian Sega Master System is still alive and well.
Adam Hovey this is just in America they mean
True the master system did do better in Brazil
@@ryandevan2793 Better? it totally dominated the Nes
@@BavarianM in Brazil the master system did better not in the us

9:45 Actual footage of Mario and Luigi buying an NES
Mario and Luigi buying an NES for themselves to play at home.
What is the name of the theme playing at the 15:04 mark?
18:15 Snooping as usual I see.
Too bad Nintendo’s Love Hotels didn’t make it to the States. 😂
What are the names of the BGMs in this documentary?
Remembering G4 bought me here not some lame ass TH-camr!
WOW ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The home video gaming market crashed in 1980? More like '83-'84. That's when we got our 2600 and had no problem getting games for it. Talk about lazy research...
I actually did NOT know that Super Mario Bros was in the arcade.
The first two Sonic games had machines too. The first game had some major alterations in the arcade, levels were cut and you have a strict time limit.
It was. that in fact there was two versions Of Super Mario Bros available in the arcades, V.S. Super Mario Bros which was made for the Vs duel and unisystem which had harder gameplay, different coin numbers to get an extra life (depending on the dip switch settings), fewer warp zones and power-ups, more enemies, and 6 new levels that were eventually be incorporated into the Japanese Super Mario Bros 2, and a version on Nintendo’s Playchoice 10 which was essentially an arcade NES with a timer.
"Nintendo's biggest problem was legal battles."
hmm... sounds kinda familiar...
* cough * cough... joycon * cough dri * cough ft * cough
I mean
They're doing fine
It doesn't actually seem to be a problem for them at all.
Still profitable and successful
All the games on atari sucked. How many times could a normal person play pac man?The sports games sucked....compared to kung fu?, mfng metroid....rbi baseball, that's why nes was popular.....it doesn't take professors to figure this out
