Old News Report On Nintendo

[ROCKSTAR6000]

Found this today while browsing Youtube, thought it was an interesting find...

That was very early in the NES's lifespan. Very cool for a gamer who grew up on the NES to see that.

And I think he forgot about the minus world. :-)

That video has been doing the round for a while now.

I actually would love to see more of these kinds of things, but they seem to be even harder to find than old magazines.

[E-Day]

I wonder how much Nintendo paid to have that story done

[zh666]

holy crap that's Bill O'Reily.

[dhowerter]

Heh. AH sweet Nostalgia

I definitely would not mind viewing more of these kinds of videos.

Youtube is definitely a friend of the retro gamer. Thanks for the link. There are some great old game commercials on the site as well.

Only 80 games? Damn that's old. Lol. And the Howard guy, he hasn't been in the mag for years.

Hey it's true. When I used to take my games on the porch for some multiplayer, the kid count grew rapidly. Our record was 14 kids stuffed on half of the porch playing Super Bomberman 2 (SNES). There was hardly room to stand at that point. 3 rounds, winner stays, the other 3 trade off. Great times.

That would have been the job for me. Bug testing isn't actually 'playing' the game like you would as a counseler. Several times friends would ask me for hints too. Many things I figured out on my own but I gotta admit I had gathered quite the collection of guides, books, maps, and magazines for anything I didn't know.

Yeah but Nester was in NP recently

[DPsx7]

Yeah, I saw that comic.

[Thor]

Yeah I loved it. I wish they would so something like that on a regular basis again. Though when they did it with the Kirby comics or Pokemon Manga I thought it was rather crappy. I enjoyed the Nester and Zelda comics that was it.

[DPsx7]

I made sure to collect the issues with the Mario and Zelda comics, they were good. Thing was I never had a subscription to the mag as I was getting them free from friends. When they stopped I went years without seeing NP, so there is a huge gap in what I read. Pretty much from late SNES through the N64 and GC days, I didn't start on my own until I picked up a Wii.

[Thor]

LOL looks like you got out at the right time. The N64 days for NP power were horrid and pretty much since then. I still collect them anyway. Personally I think they are a bit better now then just a few years ago but it's nothing like it used to be back in the NES and SNES days. But then again maybe it's the internet that has ruined some of that experience as well.

Wow. . . that takes me back.
