Just wanted to say I grew up watching your infomercials and discovering that you guys have a KZfaq presence is great. I've always wanted to see more of your stuff and this is a great way to do just that. This video in particular was a treat to watch. Pulling out that Slalom kit was a real "whoa" moment. I imagine almost no one has a kit like that, especially in such fantastic condition. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff, and hopefully sometime in the future I'll book a party at your actual place. It's been a secret dream of mine for a long, long time. Thanks!

Very educational. Heard some switch versions of vs system and wanted to look it up. Thankful for this and arcade archives to preserve this info.

Nintendo's cabs always had a certain charm. Even in the 80's they looked retro. You're doing great work. I love playing the Nintendo arcade games on Switch. Hamster do a very decent emulation job.

another thing that made the Vs. versions of some games unique from their NES counterparts is some slight tweaks such as Vs. SMB having some elements from the original Japanese Super Mario Bros 2 (a.k.a. SMB: The Lost Levels), and Vs. Duck Hunt having the bonus game with the ability to shoot the dog who would normally laugh at you for failing to shoot the ducks (of course, once he's shot, he'll come into the open in crutches and a blackened face similar to most cartoon characters who get blown up like most of the Looney Tunes, and then scold you for shooting him instead of the ducks).

Great video Todd! I enjoyed your high tech special effects intro lol. What a coincidence that you posted this video 3 days after I got my own VS SMB. It's working great after a few adjustments! BTW, thank you for pointing me to the location of the horizontal hold on the monitor chassis. It was right where you said it would be.

lol, great video! always love seeing the inner working of these games, I never knew that they just had you flip the glass around to go from DK to SMB/VS.

The kindercare I went to in Memphis, TN when I was 4 had a VS SMB cabinet with an Excitebike cabinet right next to it. It was the first time in my life I had set eyes on video games. Oh to have those machines in my possession.

I love the finger gag... haha It NEVER gets old :P

VS.SMB has the same gameplay based in the NES version but with differences: no extra lives trick, powerups in different place and low time in every stages, include if you collect 100 or 200 coins for a extra lives

I have played one of those double VS systems before, super cool

Loved the VS. games in the arcades. I remember watching a guy loop Gradius over and over on a Gradius VS. Excitebike machine at Aladdin's Castle arcade in NC. VS. Goonies was another favorite of mine.

I'm loving the added production value with the increase in green screen visual effects! The game looks great as always, guys! I have an RBI vs unisystem that I am passively on the lookout for super Mario bros or excite bike Roms to switch it out with.

I would have thought, as cheap as the kits were, they would have been more popular. I only remember seeing VS systems in pizza parlors and the occasional storefront; I don't recall ever seeing one in our local dark arcades. Excellent video as always! Cute little girl too -- not afraid of the camera at all.

An interesting fact about the VS Super Mario Brothers game. The PCB holds 2 AA bateries for saving high scores BUT, this feature doesn't work with VS SMB! There is a ROM chip you can swap out on the board with a specially made chip to allow the game to save your high scores and it allows demo mode to play when the machine is set to free play. I'll be trying one of these chips out soon.

What a classic game. Mario and Nintendo pretty much saved video games back in the day after the crash of 1983.

Such a rarity to see Mario Bros arcade! Lucky individual for sure.

Todd you've been doing this for how long? I'm sure you know what you're talking about! Keep these great videos coming 😃

Awesome video!

I thought the vs had to be connected to each other originally in order to function or is there only 1 game that had that

get some silly putty, squish get some ink and maybe you'll find out the number :)

Oh crikey. Imagine if there was an arcade cabinet of Kaizo Mario World...

Nintendo delivered in quality of the game ,hardware and profit

Nintendo really are the Disney of video games :)

Tel eVision

well now we know why people question those serial numbers. (ahem yes getting a smart tv has distracted me a bit. Netflix has 11 seasons of family guy I'm on ep 1 of season 7 all in 2 weeks or less X_X Bing watching. forgot about that. have done it with CSI and True Blood but not this bad. and yesterday was my birthday. so your like less than 20 yrs older than me. and Tammy is 20 yrs younger than me how odd. I'm 39 and I'm in between? well she could still be 18. some of us had to cheat ( I didn't. bit hard to lie) to get into the THEN Sears Tower. crazy price difference between 18 and 17 X_X grrrrr) and being Lutherans in a hotel that naturally had access to PPV enjoyed the porn previews. Didn't imagine someone in our senior class trip would bother BUYING on. He did get into trouble for that because he thought he was paying for it. Uh no, the person who rented out the rooms did. (OOPS)

(ahem) A Button: Jump Joystick: Movement Joystick Down: Crouch B Button + Joystick: Run Sorry Todd, but I have to give you a hard time, for not knowing how to play Super Mario Bros.
