The funny thing is I don't think I ever needed to do this to SNES games. Only NES games. I think the main reason you had issues with NES games wasn't actually the games themselves, but that the non Japanese NES was side loaded and it caused a number of issues.
Tradition-wise yes, realistically, blowing on a cartridge only accellerates corrosion in the pins. The act of unplugging and plugging back in is what actually results in it working again. Blowing only does something if it's been unused for eternity and filled with dust, but that's about it
@@3AnxiousFerretsInATrenchcoat There's that guy whinging about blowing into the cartridge. I knew I'd find one in the comment section. My dude, stop going into every comment section winging about corrosion. Your breath from blowing into the cart briefly isn't really enough to cause any kind of meaningful issue. You'd have to be in a lab and having someone blowing into the cart for years on end to start making a difference vs a control cart. The air in your house is going to expose the pins to more humidity than you breathing on it, especially if you don't have A/C, which lots of people didn't back then. This whole thing about blowing on the cart corroding the pins is just contrarians after the fact trying to ruin people's fun or repeating an urban legend.
@@Slmn249I don’t think that’s what he means. Pretty sure he’s talking about you don’t understand unless you grew up in that era with those kinds of game consoles where blowing on it fixes it.
@@Slmn249 It's confusing and funny for Towa to watch Korone yank the cables and the cartridge as soon as things start bugging out, then start blowing on it, but anyone who grew up with those machines remembers doing it and would do the exact same thing. Yanking the cart, blowing on it, and plugging it back in was something we all did, and we all did as soon as anything went wrong. Since it was a physical object, dust could get in there and disrupt contact. Similarly, the cables could become loose or dirty, especially if you were always unplugging them and plugging them back in, something you'd have to do on older televisions. The comment is about Towa laughing at something that us greybeards would've done without a second thought, too.
I remember when the internet was young, and articles and posts were written that it didn't work, and might end up corroding the contacts more, but it still worked so we still did it.

Blowing into the cartridge to make it work, Washing the backside of a CD and drying it with a very soft towel, cranking the spring loaded locks on a tape to make it work again
Times were simpler back then. You could blow on a cartridge and get the game to work and there was only a SLIGHT risk of a pterodactyl attack. Good times.
@@raimyonlinewarrior236that's true, blowing into the cartridge accelerates corrosion and doesn't really do anthing to fix the issue (unless it's been sitting in dust for several months) and the thing that actually makes it work again is the fact that you unplugged it and plugged it back in, the blowing part is placebo
Just like slapping the side of an old CRT monitor, there are some old rituals that never fade. I loved the little race sequence, how she yanks out the cables, and all the expressions they have in your animation style!
That's what I thought. I still remember when she first beat Doom and mentioned it to Papa Inugami. He asked "which difficulty?". When she told him, he responded with "Weak. Beat it on Nightmare." She did. I'm sure that she grew up watching her dad play Famicom and Super Famicom, probably also playing with him at times. She definitely learned that from him. Which makes her confusion at Towa laughing at her ingrained, instinctual response all the more hilarious.
@@01100101011100100111Completely agree, she has it ingrained in her how to tey and fix cardtriges. Also, papa is a badass if he made her beat doom on nightmare.
@JohnTabasco Korone has the knowledge heritage from inu-papa, so that’s something she ended up learning at some point. As we know, Towa is more of an FPS girl.
I already really enjoyed the animation as is, but then I was really happy that a mini JP lesson is included at the end :) It's especially nice since I don't immerse super often, so more modern slang can definitely go over my head, thanks for that!
Sometimes you miss the good old days when you would slap the TV if it froze or the sound stopped working and it would work. People would say blowing the cartridge didn't work but every-time we did it, it worked. Dust builds up so we did what we knew worked for us. New games have better graphics/gameplay/controls but they can never recreate the interactions we all had with family and friends. Playing games locally since online play didn't exist, pulling your controller thinking it moved the character or you were too into the moment and got excited and accidentally plugging out your controller. Throwing your controller on the floor or at someone out of frustration knowing it won't break since they were practically made of concrete with how robust and strong they were 😅. Good times.
Only a real, die hard Gamer would pull this stunt. And only an authentic fan would create such an adorable animation from this classic moment. Really appreciate that, thank you so much!
As much we all grow up doing that someone else pointed out it is probably bad for the cartridge as you blowing moisture into it, but we dont care must perform the tradition.
Ah yes the good old days of cartridges, Korone definitely knows her stuff when it comes to retro games. Also thanks for putting a little Japanese lesson at the end, it's really cool!
This bring back memories. The ritual before playing for all retro gamers back then. I always blow it hard the catridge from side to side twice or three times and also the console. somehow it become my habit, when i have nintendo switch i also did the same thing 😂
I don't know what I love the most about this: Korone frantically trying to get her SNES to work, including blowing on the cartridge (ah the memories) or Towa laughing at Korone's antics, amplified more by her husky voice.
The official warning states that “blowing on cartridges” may cause moisture to damage the metal. Perhaps this was misinterpreted by users. They did not say “did nothing”.
Blowing on cartridges... Man she's really a true blue gamer.

Blowing into the cartridge to make it work,
Washing the backside of a CD and drying it with a very soft towel,
cranking the spring loaded locks on a tape to make it work again
Turning the PS1 upside down when it has trouble loading.
The eraser end of a pencil to manually rewind a cassette :]
A hole punch to get a double-sided floppy.
If game isn't working:
1) Blow it
2) Find another game so it gets jealous and able to work again
3.)restart the game and don't look, pretend you don't care lol
Retro gaming is mostly based on occult pseudo-science.
4.) bit a little bit of Windex on a cotton swab and give the contacts a little rundown.
I love this comment and the reply. I was a poor kid so the only console game i ever play when i was kid was PS2 and that was from my friend house.
Why is that second step actually works most of the time lmao
Blowing on the cartridge when problems occur. Korone is truly the gamer xD
Times were simpler back then. You could blow on a cartridge and get the game to work and there was only a SLIGHT risk of a pterodactyl attack. Good times.

The ritual must be performed each time. Even if it's the cables or the TV and not the cart, you must perform the ritual for luck.
