as a boy at the age of 13 I was not at all atracted by video games but I spent most of my free time with friends I liked very much cars and motorbikes, but the passion for the computer world in general came to me in my thirties
I liked that old Zelda commercial with the guy freaking out lol it made me want to buy the game. I prefer SMB2 over 3 which everybody thinks I'm crazy but I find myself going back to play it so much more then the 3rd one. To this day I have never watched the Wizard, I think I should just sit down and watch it at least once. Metroid and Zelda are responsible for my gaming addiction to this day. Dragon Warrior & Final Fantasy hooked me on RPG's (although I wish they made more these days, I'd even love some new 2D games). Castlevania, Contra, Faxanadu, Blaster Master, Ninja Gaiden, Shadowgate & Ultima took up the rest of my time. I'm so happy I got to grow up in that golden age of gaming. Great video!
The NES Console is the best console in the history of gaming ! I have a PS4 but I still wish I could have a NES Console again to play the epic games that made history . Games are not going to be as good as this epic games are . NES Era is the best and it will forever be !
dude you just dropped 500 for that ps4, for 1/10th the price you could have gotten a toaster with a controller, all the cables, and a few choice games. Whats stopping you?
In my country are hard to find and more expensive than they should be , but I will by one if I would find it . This is the most iconic console ever made that made my childhood golden !
Almost 40 years now and the system still stands the test of time. I didn’t have a NES growing up as Sega Genesis was my first system in the 90s. My experience with it was playing it at cousins and friends houses etc. Now as an adult I’m able to go back and experience the games I missed out on as a kid. Truly an amazing system.
I have a theory that the reason Jenny Lewis knew about the warp whistle in The Wizard is because she had a Honeybee adapter and a Famicom version of Super Mario Bros. 3 from 1988. She was clearly the most savvy person in that movie.
back in 1986 the day I didn't know what Nes system was!? I was little at that time, from what I gathered in what little time I have left to live! the nes has always been a part of my life, growing up as I played more and more of these kick ass I was just as excited as ever when I heard more games of this genre is coming out on Super Nes, it didn't disappoint me at all, the very 1st Nes Boxing I got was with a Double Feature of Super Mario bros. and Life Force!! THAT WAS FUCKING EPIC and I still have them even to this day. I'm a fucking huge fan of every fucking game you can think up at any time and day, for me saving up and I still have a lot of money savings and I always wait for the right moment! to think that years later that over 3576 games I own to this day are gona be passed on to the next generation of my family and having to live these games was ONE FUCKING EPIC HISTORY THAT I SURE ASS FUCK!! WON'T EVER FORGET!! to this day I own and still have 1. Nintendo 2. Super Nintendo 3. GameBoy 4. SEGA Genesis 5. GameGear 6. Nintendo 64 7. PlayStation 8. GameBoy Advance 9.SEGA Dreamcast 10. Nintendo GameCube 11. PlayStation 2 13. Xbox 14. Nintendo Wii 15. PlayStation 3 16. Xbox 360, and they all work even to this day. I keep my games clean as a true Arcader kid!
When I was young about 89-92 when I had snes and mega drive my gran worked in a video shop, she used to get me all the new games at night an put them back in the morning before her boss got in. She also bought my megadrive for Easter. Thanks gran
i was cracking up at the part were there all blowing into the cartridges man i miss those days! true story i remember me and my brother used to hop in the car with my dad when he would rent movies on the weekend and beg him to rent us a nes game it's funny cause we didn't have the slightest clue if the game would suck or not we had to go by the artwork on the box and that 1 or 2 pics on the back then whenever it was time to return the game he would always tell us to rewind it because they were going to charge him a fee at the store lol me and my brother would just stare at each other trying our hardest to not laugh at my dad trying to explain to him that cartridges aren't like movies ha haaa!
Dude, not a fucking chance in hell was there ever a Nintendo game in my house that had been purchased new, from a toy store. When they said they were doing seedy shit to get games, I thought they were talking about when you borrow one from one of your little friends, and then you just never give it back.
This was a decent little flashback but I can easily tell which ones REALLY grew up with the NES in the "times" and those who might have played Mario a bit but still thought that videogames were for nerds or that they started playing NES around the Retro game boom in recent years. There are so many good games that are missed, simply because they're not the mainstream titles. And I defend The Wizard to the max, it's SUCH a great nostalgic movie. How can you be a 80/90's NES fan and NOT like it?!
I just got over my fear of spraying isopropyl into everything. Now all my Atari carts work again. My paddle controller work. My Vectrex volume works. I just wish I'd known that back then when my NES carts glitched.
What was better than Tecmo Bowl? Tecmo Super Bowl! Finally, the whole NFL. The ability to trade players and everything that came with playing a season was just awesome. I must have literally lost months of my life to that game, on both NES and SNES.
The thing about the cheap tricks to inserting NES games into the console is that they ACTUALLY WORKED! I always did 9:23 with a little wiggle at the end (after blowing the living hell out of the cart of course). Sometimes I would even insert another cart on top of the one already inside to keep it pressed down. Lol! There was something strangely satisfying about the struggle to get NES games to work.
Personally, I had my original NES for ten years and I never had to fiddle with the games to make them work. The only thing I did was pick up a cartridge cleaner and that was it.
A clean cart with clean connectors inside your system, goes a long way. My NES was bugging out until I cleaned each cart and replaced the connectors. Now it works flawlessly, every time I load up a game.
I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL (an original one not the new one) from a pawn shop and it had "Super Mario Bros. 3" on it (and it still does) I'm guessing the person who owned the 3DS before I did downloaded it from the Nintendo eShop it's a really fun game buying the 3DS XL was a great decision and finding out that it had "Super Mario Bros. 3" on it was a nice bonus.
People called those cartridges tapes because of those 8 track cassetes that you used with similar way to their systems that was front loaders as well.Don't tell me that you all knew how those worked always back in the day,some also thought that the whole casing was filled with the game board and was only a small circuit board while the rest was a freaking handle to insert it to the system.The fact remains that we all wanted a freaking nes end of discussion!
I could not break an nes controllers, but snes controllers exploded into buttons and parts across the room from a good throw. 😆I learned to slam the controller into a sofa. Not as satisfying.
Well I was a bit young at that time to enjoy the nes but I played all those games and then the superness came out and that is for me the ultimate console ever they mastered all the great games for ness and made them superrrr
I had R.O.B. and took him apart back in 86, it was stupid, I couldn't put it back together. Took me years to get over the annoyance of my stupidity. Those flashes on Gryomite were actually causing people seizures.
It's funny how much they complain about The Wizard. "It was like so bad. It was like the worst possible idea for a movie you could possibly have." .... And then there was Pixels.
Mainly because my console got stolen, but when I had it it was the best fun before and after school. I am choosing to get the wii u for the good times had on the NES, N64, GC, and Wii. I got a Sega genesis, when the SNES came into power all of my friends had a Sega and it had the cool games like X-men, Sonic, NFL sports talk football, and a bloody Mortal Kombat.
SchwartzBwithU I actually made a game called Rabbit Hunter for the Commodore 64 around 1990 and it played a little like Duckhunt on the NES. It didn't have a zapper but you could use the joystick and move a set of crosshairs around the screen to shoot a rabbit that your dog was chasing and each level the rabbit would get faster. If you accidentally pressed the joystick button when the crosshairs were on the dog, then you would hit the dog and he would hold his chest and fall over dead. I think I programmed it because I was frustrated that you could not kill the dog on the Nintendo version of Duckhunt. It was actually a pretty good game and I still have it on a disk in storage, but I remember my SID chip was bad on that Commodore 64, so I never got to program sound for it. Still played pretty good and got so fast by level 10 that you pretty much had no chance of shooting the rabbit before you ran out of bullets. I need to put a TH-cam video up showing that one day.
I love this... and yes I watched the Wizard, it was a great movie and all the nintendo games in it and yes i love SMB 3; One of my favorite games to play has to be SMB 1 and SMB 3 and Legend of Zelda and Tetris (my personal favorite)
Around 8 minutes when he talks about "illicit ways of procuring games" - I definitely identified with that, though I was too young and innocent to do that with NES games, I certainly did with SNES. I used to take the cartridge apart and take the chip out, replacing it with something that looked similar on the connects -- Ended up getting quite a few games that way and the rental shops never caught on.
Adam Olympia My nephew is 12, and he's really into gaming, I spent about an hour last night showing him videos of some of my favorite NES games...I was experiencing some serious nostalgia...he thought the games were crap, of course. Kids today will never understand the struggle of blowing into game cartridges, or hitting reset 50 times...what are some of your favorite NES games?
Mike Allen A lot of kids really get into the classics ! They might not be impressive graphically, compared to all the modern stuff -- but they shine where it's most important: gameplay.. Favorites: NES: Solar Jetman. Mike Tysons Punch out, Zelda 1 , Final Fantasy, Super Mario 1, 2, 3) , .. SNES: Zelda Link to the past, Simcity, Pilot Wings, Super Mario World 1, Final Fantasy 3, Street fighter 2, F-Zero, Mario Kart, On the ball, Mystical Ninja , + quite a few others I'm not thinking of atm. It's actually been years since I've played any -- but just thinking about them makes me want to load up an emulator right now. (Sadly I don't have any of the original consoles at the moment) ..
The only time I've ever had to blow on a cartridge was when I borrowed my friends games and they didn't take care of them. To this day, my NES still works and I still don't have to blow on any of my games to play them.
I didnt played the nes, im not that old, but hell i totally enjoyed the super nintendo, i made a contract with my dad so i helped him around our house doing any kind of stuff and i got paid for that and finally bought the snes lol, 90's were the best.
Before Video:"I hope this video is about people remembering their past of nintendo. I wonder what they would say. 'I remember the games where I was a child, and I--' (Video starts) OMG IS THAT MEGAMAN!?"
Whenever I was playing this as a kid I did jump over the flagpole!! The game just glitches out and the level is just continuous bricks until the time Runs Out!
I actually jumped over one of the flags at the end of a level. Don't remember which one but it was one before a castle. Then it just looped the castle wall over and over and nothing happened. Remember I was very disappointed.
The only NES accessories worth having we're the gun and advantage controller. Also pretty sure you could shoot the dog in the arcade version of Duck Hunt.
@ 18:33 You CAN jump over the flag poles. I've only done it once. Mario Bros is filled with a lot of hidden secrets that most players never discovered.
Forget you punks The Wizard is a great movie. Fred Savage had some great lines in that movie, and Bo Bridges was and is funny as heck during the whole thing. Sorry but you are wrong about the Wizard.
My best friend and I let another one of our friends play Super Punchout on SNES back around 2002-03 and it was his first time playing it and no joke he lost to the first guy, Gabby Jay. I remember it showed that guy's record when he would first come out and it was 1-99 and to this day my friend and I joke that his record is now 2-99 lol.
I must be the only one that was disappointed with Mario 3. I didn't like 1, but I freaking loved 2. So, I was pissed that there wasn't like a sequel to the modded Doki Doki Panic.
to answer ur question yeah i did say s.n.e.s. cuz my friends called it that, game reviewers called it that. Nintendo called it that in their promo videos for short.
to be fair though I think the video is mislabeled. this isn't really a documentary, it's more like a bunch of personal recollections of when NES came out.
Even after almost 30 years the NES is still one of the best systems ever made. I still have mine and I still play with it.
heh, I kinda confiscated my dad's and yeah that thing still works...can't diss the original and it had a great library to boot :D
virtue696 what are you? 10?
I still have mine from my birthday 1987. I play it once in a while. Love the nostalgia!
as a boy at the age of 13 I was not at all atracted by video games but I spent most of my free time with friends I liked very much cars and motorbikes, but the passion for the computer world in general came to me in my thirties

Wow it's been 10 years now since this video? man time flies seriously
Um shoot try nearly 20 now 😮
Carrie's mouth mesmerizes me when she talks.
The ultimate trick to get the carts to always work, is to stack another game inside, on top of the one you are playing. Always worked.
Dude, not a fucking chance in hell was there ever a Nintendo game in my house that had been purchased new, from a toy store. When they said they were doing seedy shit to get games, I thought they were talking about when you borrow one from one of your little friends, and then you just never give it back.
When I got my NES on my b-day in May 1989, mine had a gray Zapper - I couldn't believe nobody else had one. Everybody I knew had the ugly orange one.
Initially I was like "oh another NES documentary, meh, whatever", but when I watched it I appreciated how it was about people experiences with NES
LOL Fred Savage is one of the most successful directors in TV these days...
Yuo
This was a decent little flashback but I can easily tell which ones REALLY grew up with the NES in the "times" and those who might have played Mario a bit but still thought that videogames were for nerds or that they started playing NES around the Retro game boom in recent years.

Thanks for sharing this, i'd never seen it and it was a genuinely interesting video, is there a part 2? it sort of feels like it ends suddenly
I'm sort of into that chick.
"I said I'm gonna buy a Nintendo Entertainment System. And that's exactly what I did." LOL
I bought a Nintendo 3DS XL (an original one not the new one) from a pawn shop and it had "Super Mario Bros. 3" on it (and it still does) I'm guessing the person who owned the 3DS before I did downloaded it from the Nintendo eShop it's a really fun game buying the 3DS XL was a great decision and finding out that it had "Super Mario Bros. 3" on it was a nice bonus.

your intro, and name sub frames are SOO CUTE!!!
back then i finished mega man 3 all by my self! i smashed my controller like psycho... good old days XD
the controllers took a lot of crap i tossed mine in frustration a few times
True. I never broke my NES controller but I did break quite a few SNES controllers.
I could not break an nes controllers, but snes controllers exploded into buttons and parts across the room from a good throw. 😆I learned to slam the controller into a sofa. Not as satisfying.
XD
nintendo always made solid controllers the much more modern wii remote is pretty tough considering how many tv's they went through by mistake
Whoa, They actually talked about Dragon Warrior!
That's kinda rare...
This game series truly deserves more love than it gets!
Well I was a bit young at that time to enjoy the nes but I played all those games and then the superness came out and that is for me the ultimate console ever they mastered all the great games for ness and made them superrrr

As a kid I LOVED MY NES, as an adult I prefer my Sega Genesis! And their not that far apart in time lapse
haha 89, that was the year I was born too ! lol
The Golden Era of video games
its funny i remember watching this the day gamespot released it
Basically a documentary about some stoners reminiscing about their childhood
What's wrong with that?
Nintendo 'tapes' in the US probably came from their similarity in shape to 8-track tapes - rectangular plastic you shove straight into the machine.
i have my nes and 25 games ..so i'm happy!!!

Great games I still play!
On the Zelda commercial, no one seems to talk about the NES buttons being black.
The NES buttons were black in the Zelda commercial.. Happy now?

It's actually been years since I've played any -- but just thinking about them makes me want to load up an emulator right now. (Sadly I don't have any of the original consoles at the moment) ..
@18:10 The "minus world" is really world 36-1. It's just that 36 was a null place holder so the number didn't print to the screen.
I'm from Texas.. i NEVER called the carts tapes.. i ALWAYS called them either carts.. or cartridges..
You guys are rookies...I have Nintendo News number 1...with Tyson on the cover
great analogy couldn't have said it better
The only time I've ever had to blow on a cartridge was when I borrowed my friends games and they didn't take care of them. To this day, my NES still works and I still don't have to blow on any of my games to play them.
I didnt played the nes, im not that old, but hell i totally enjoyed the super nintendo, i made a contract with my dad so i helped him around our house doing any kind of stuff and i got paid for that and finally bought the snes lol, 90's were the best.
Southern Brad got me crushin' over here...
btw i loved the power glove, and used it a lot, some people just did not take time to get it right
Before Video:"I hope this video is about people remembering their past of nintendo. I wonder what they would say. 'I remember the games where I was a child, and I--' (Video starts) OMG IS THAT MEGAMAN!?"
Blowing into the cartridges and having your own special method of putting the games in to make it work.... Oh the nostalgia..
Great intro! MEGA MAN 2 FOREVER!!!
Whenever I was playing this as a kid I did jump over the flagpole!! The game just glitches out and the level is just continuous bricks until the time Runs Out!
Shifting the cartridge with your forefinger vigorously left to right. That was the trick.
That dude Andrew Park is like a Charisma Vacuum.
i still have my nes from 86, i guess I'm just old
I actually jumped over one of the flags at the end of a level. Don't remember which one but it was one before a castle. Then it just looped the castle wall over and over and nothing happened. Remember I was very disappointed.
The only NES accessories worth having we're the gun and advantage controller. Also pretty sure you could shoot the dog in the arcade version of Duck Hunt.
Next year, we gonne celebrate the 30 anyvursey of the nes in the west.
just go back in time like "ghostbusters 3 is in videogame form"
Who in the hell hated the wonder years?! Insanity!
@ 18:33
You CAN jump over the flag poles. I've only done it once. Mario Bros is filled with a lot of hidden secrets that most players never discovered.
To the guy asking why we called them tapes in the south: Why were you sideburns 3 inches from your ear?
Forget you punks The Wizard is a great movie. Fred Savage had some great lines in that movie, and Bo Bridges was and is funny as heck during the whole thing. Sorry but you are wrong about the Wizard.
Eh, maybe not "great". It's entertaining, and worth a watch.
And since it's launch America's youth have become slothful and heavier.
@8:20 All I have to say about that subject, is Shaq-Fu.
eventually i had to push the cartridge down so that i scraped against the edge but only with some nes games , I think pitfall was a problem
My best friend and I let another one of our friends play Super Punchout on SNES back around 2002-03 and it was his first time playing it and no joke he lost to the first guy, Gabby Jay. I remember it showed that guy's record when he would first come out and it was 1-99 and to this day my friend and I joke that his record is now 2-99 lol.
UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A
3:00 in the arcade version of Duck Hunt, There's a bonus round where the dog jumps up and you can shoot him... It's so satasfying.
Carrie has a stuttering issue, yes?
I do, too, and it was quite mesmerizing to watch her speak :D
I must be the only one that was disappointed with Mario 3. I didn't like 1, but I freaking loved 2. So, I was pissed that there wasn't like a sequel to the modded Doki Doki Panic.
to answer ur question yeah i did say s.n.e.s. cuz my friends called it that, game reviewers called it that. Nintendo called it that in their promo videos for short.
We need a retrospective on the 10 year anniversary of this retrospective.
Love the Megaman 1 ending scene used as the intro.
I was born 84, remember the snes and genesis better, I played my cousins nes but I was very young. Loved my genesis too

Love hes making his dad save up money for him in zelda, haha
classic documentary
I jumped the flagpole!
Stig Olav Tony Fredriksson no you didn’t.
unhealthy looking gamers rambling about Nintendo. Wonderful documentary
who cares what they look like. and yes, they're "rambling" about nintendo. what did you think this video was about?
to be fair though I think the video is mislabeled. this isn't really a documentary, it's more like a bunch of personal recollections of when NES came out.
