  • In 1988, Nintendo released a port of Mario Bros for the Famicom Disk System. The twist? Between levels, Mario and Luigi would advertise rice and noodles to you. That's right - the game was sponsored! Let's check it out!

    Fun fact: before Nintendo got into video games, they were a trading card company, then they were in huge debt, but they still had some job choices like being rice chefs, Taxi drivers and owners of 18+ hotels.

    You probably won’t see this but it’s funny that the Rice partnership is mentioned. I just stumbled upon the Mario anime movie from 1986, The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! Mario Rice appears in the movie twice and it’s so in your face about it being an advert.

    This reminds me strongly of the way cartoon characters are used to sell breakfast cereal and candy actually. It also reminds me of waaaaaay back when Disney made "Buy War Bonds" ads alongside their cartoons during World War II, famously showing the Seven Dwarfs trading in the gems from their diamond mine to buy war bonds.

  • @stargamer777
    @stargamer777 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The reason you would have had to flip the disk was because data could be stored on both sides of the disk but the mechanism that reads the disk can only read one side. Nintendo could have added a second mechanism to read the bottom side at the same time by that would have cost more and made the disk system more complicated.

    @1:30 I can understand why they didn't go with the disk system....you can't put extra hardware in the cartridge like in later games. You couldn't run Kirby's adventures on that disk system but you could run a slightly scaled down disk system game like Zelda in a cartridge in 1986. You could make an even better version in 1989 but the disk system would have been frozen in time without having to buy another upgrade

    Wow man, you beat me to it! I had researched this _deep_ and was going to make a video myself, but you did a great job! With that said there are some interesting tidbits you left out. If you earned 200,000+ points, the raffle your name was put into as mentioned was for _SMB3_ , but also for _VS Excitebike_ and _Famicom Wars_ (all newer or unreleased games at the time.) The entire purpose of the _Slot Machine_ in 'Nagatanien Mode' is obviously for the extra lives, but those extra lives were very important for continuing your high score to send in, because once you got a _Game Over_ that was it. The mail-in contest code was only available in that mode. _Kaettekita Mario Bros_ was later re-released minus the sponsorship material only in Europe for the NES in '93 under the name _Mario Bros Classic Series_ .
    When it comes to the three commercials:
    #1 is for _Ochozuke Nori_ (a green tea and seaweed flavored powder you mix with water to pour over rice.) This is the most interesting ad, because it features a strange old man in peachy pink attire chasing the Mario Bros. This mystery man is *Kitajima Saburo* , a famous traditional Japanese Enka singer who endorsed Nagatanien products in their commercials at the time, and he appears to break up a quarrel between Mario and Luigi at a Spring festival in this scene. Throwing some rice to celebrate them making up.
    #2 is for Fried Rice Mix...just fried rice seasoning, lol. No rice.
    #3 is for _Furikake_ . A seasoning made from dried fish, seaweed, various seeds, shiso leaves, MSG, etc. that you sprinkle on top of rice. A condiment.
    Nagatanien also sponsored the theatrically released anime _Super Mario Bros:The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach!_ two years prior (it's here on YT in HD) , which is riddled with even less subtle product placements! The typical branded lineup of products as you mentioned consisted of furikake (aka _"Mario Sprinkle"_ ), and various flavored curries which all make appearances in the anime. All the wonderfully animated commercials for these products can be found easily here on YT as well. The anime also featured Mario Ramen from a second brand deal with Myojo Foods. The prizes and promotional materials given away with those products could make an entire video themselves! Most of them so rare they're hardly ever found for sale.

      Ochazuke (おちゃずけ) uses hot water, to be specific. I usually put the ochazuke over the rice, then pour hot water over it.

    Gonna jump on the whole "can't believe you're 17" train here. I was getting a little judgemental about some of the reused clips in some of your other videos, but i mean, you are insanely skilled for 17 and no doubt your skills are gonna grow a LOT. You're already really great ignoring your age, it just puts your success in context.
    Your research is on-point, you present it in an interesting and entertaining way, and you create these videos as if you've crafted them from many years of experience.
    Subscribing, i can't wait to see how much you grow in the years to come. Keep up the good work!

      Nintendo charges you to use their internet service. If you still are able to use the internet browser, and play LAN without paying, then I don't see much issue with it.

      Server hosting is expensive and Nintendo still has the overall beat deal even with their lack of features. 99% of games I'd want to play online on PS4 or Xbox can be played on PC anyway. Splatoon is worth giving a friend a couple bucks a year to be part of his family plan.
