Teens react to NES / Punch Out

[CZroe]

I guess by the time the n64 came out it was too late. Didn't know it was available everywhere.

I think i had this specific device. Super UFO or something. Definitely didn't have a side facing cartridge port like the other one. Looks about right. Donkey Kong Country had some really good graphics and music. Was also a 24mb cartridge.

DKC was 32mbit (4MB). Few others were 32mbit (Killer Instinct, DKC2/3, etc). Mostly 1st party titles.

Super Metroid was their first 24mbit game pak in the US. Plenty of 3rd party titles were 24mbit including Earthworm Jim, EWJ2, The Lion King, and many more.

There were a MANY Game Doctor/Professor SF devices. The latest was Professor SF7. There were also MGD ("multi game doctor") series flash carts that had adapters to work with different consoles, like Genesis/Megadrive and SNES. There were other backup device manufacturers, like UFO (Super UFO) and Far Front East (Super Wildcard DX2), but the ones that looked most like a "mushroom" were the Bung Game Dr. series.

Oops. One can forget a lot in 20 years.

That is Arya Stark in there right?

Oh wait... are all these kids "somebody"?

The original NES was never sold where I grew up, but we had lots of chinese made clones, all of them top-loading, with a lot of multi-game cartridges (18 in 1, 64 in 1, etc), so I was able to cheaply own pretty much all nes games. We also had shit like the "siga miga siga" genesis/mega drive clones.

We later got UK versions of the mega drive and snes, but they were PAL, which was like 20% slower than NTSC. I remember when I saw sonic on a genesis, and the difference was staggering, so I got US systems from then on. I had a US imported SNES and this mushroom shaped add-on device that sat on top, which was basically just a floppy drive and memory. You could copy any cartridge to floppies and then load them into memory to play. I probably had all the snes games also. The biggest games I remember was stuff like mortal kombat 2, at 24mbit, which is barely over 2 floppies. Most were much, much smaller.

Something like that. Sometimes it's good growing up in a third-world shithole where nobody cares about piracy.

Too bad you'd miss out on 32mbit games and special coprocessor titles.

Super Mario Kart
Star Fox
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Mega Man X2
Super Mario RPG

Donkey Kong Country 1/2
Killer Instinct
Earthworm Jim 2

Wow that's pretty cool! I'm guessing that's how they also make "roms" for emulators? That SNES also looks very different. Did not realize they had different versions for different countries.

Yes. You could make ROMs. I had a Bung Doctor V64 256mbit and a Doctor V64 Jr 512mbit for N64. Played a lot of games before they were released in the USA.

That's a European SNES in the picture. Looks just like the Japanese Super Famicom.

The North American SNES was notoriously ugly compared to its international siblings.

 

[Ichinisan]

That looks similar to the [Super] Famicom[m]. Which is the SNES version Japan used. I had several [Super] Famicom[m] games that I used on my SNES, but I had to use an adapter to play them. Or file down the outside of the cartridge edges a bit to get them to fit.

Fixed that for you.

It's her. The video introduces her at the beginning as a "guest star."

Was that super ufo shit limited to 24mb? Maybe. I had dkc though, and i don't remember playing it from a cartridge, though it's possible.

Thought i would have been the biggest snes nerd here but apparently I was wrong.

KI definitely wasn't available yet when I had the copier. Was before 1995 because I recall that "available for your home in 1995, only on nintendo ultra 64" shit from the arcade machine when nobody was playing as it was cycling through the demo screens (obviously that turned out to be a lie. lol. didn't even release as "ultra 64"). Anyway, so I probably had the copier around 1994. Don't think EJ2 was out either.

Apple //e days, drop to ASM or whatever, fix the game.

I'm pretty sure most were upgradable and some went even beyond 32mbit (some Japanese games were 48mbit). I don't know why he assumes you couldn't play DKC on it. DKC did have a copy protection feature that my Pro Action Replay triggers (checks SRAM memory addresses) but I know it didn't afflict all copiers.

Why didn't I know about shit like this?! The only thing I knew about was game genie.

I love these reaction videos of kids and teens. It is funny and enlightening.
Pop culture knowledge is tied closely to age, we all know this, yet it is fun to see in action.

The Nirvana ones are good.

Nope! Clearly not.
