I'm not going to lie. I want to see a Captain N the game master reboot. Done with better story telling and narrative with characters more true to their video game counterparts.

Simon's head always reminded me of Egon from the Ghostbusters Cartoon!!

I used to love this show back in the day

Only mentioned Link as a cameo for the Captain N show, but there was a Legend of Zelda show as well with more of that character and his Catchphrase "excu~se me princess"

I was a huge Nintendo fan growing up and I loved this show. Thank you sci-fi for doing a video on this show!

At least Link wasn't constantly saying, "well excuuuuuuuuse me princess!"

Before Wreck-It Ralph before smash ultimate Captain N did video game crossovers

>didn't know who Samus was >includes the final boss from the same game in the show ????

This could be done, especially since Smash Bros. is big too. I saw a video someone made of this idea too. "Captain N: Their World's Champion"

I'm kinda surprised Captain N isn't in Smash beyond Duck Hunt's moveset (yes he's the shooter)

Captain N a better isekai then Sword Art Online

Captain N for Super Smash Bros

WE need a new version of this

I'm pretty sure that at one point Princess Lana was supposed to be Palutena.

I chose Simon as my favourite N Team member too, because he's ridiculous and just a klutz which is somehow entertaining for me.

Take a shot every time she reminds you that this show was created to sell Nintendo products.

Instead of Simon Belmont.. They should have added Jimmy and Billy Lee from Double Dragon... Or the brothers from River City Ransom or Bad Dudes

As a child one thing that irked me was how detailed and fluid cartoon intro sequences were, compared to the actual animation. Smh I felt so deceived by those japanese, & korean studios.

Nice costume! You know, if you think about it, Captain N did the whole Video Game crossover thing LONG before Super Smash Bros. or even Marvel Vs. Capcom!

I may be too young to have seen Captain N because I didn't know what a cartoon was until 1995 but Jackie Jennings is beautiful.

Imagine if Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad made a cross over with Captain N: that would have been awesome.

With all the reboots nowadays I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot of this! Maybe with the characters being more like their game counterparts.

You completely ignore Saturday Supercade, a game-themed programming block from the early 80s. Captain N and SMB Super Show were far from the first.

Burger Time never had an animated series, and the closest we got was the Captain N characters in costumes.

The biggest thing this show got wrong was that they used the Link from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Zelda series, but didn't have him say "Excuuuuuuse me, Princess" even once.

I kind of wish she would've worn the Princess Lana costume instead

Love Captain N! I hope he makes it into Smash in some way! I'd be ok with a 4* spirit. Better as a fighter though lol.

Some of the final episodes in season three didnt even have fully colored backgrounds.. some scenes only have ink drawings lol

you should do an episode about how the sci fi channel paved the way for japanimation (anime) to become mainstream in the US.

Love this!! Still got my dvd set

The worst adaption was Megaman, follow closely by Alucard. The best character was Mother Brain.

It’s too bad that Warner Bros. can create a live action movie for Captain N and Freakazoid dexter Douglas, but instead we got ready player one which doesn’t stick with the source material !

I actually started watching this show at 13 and i wasn't born in the 90s or 80s

god Bless the Four Tops lead Singer Levi Stubbs as the voice of Mother Brain.

still waiting for Captain N to come to smash bros so my saturday morning can be complete!

I'm so glad she mentioned the Motown legend Levi Stubbs

A classic & wild series. So awesome various talents were a part of this My favorite crossover was with Legend of Zelda. A two part episode. Sadly it was the series finale. But it did connect the world's, and the villains were incredible to see in this series.

Forgot Pacman, the entirety of the Saturday supercade and Samus Aran

Saw this cartoon series when I was 6 in 1990 until I was 7 in 1991 on NBC at the time great cartoon series 😊

This video explains why cartoons are so different nowadays: By law video game companies are forbidden to use cartoons to get in your head to sell toys. I miss the 90's!

I remember watching the show and not wanting to miss it every Saturday morning because this was the first cartoon that really showcase popular Nintendo characters / heroes.... I actually still like this show I found the DVD box at a little over 10 years ago on eBay for about 40 bucks but now I think it's even higher than that now.

I loved this show as a kid, I remember insisting my parents get me New Balance sneakers because I thought they were Captain N shoes lol

For some reason I always thought that Princess Lana was based off Tiffany Amber Theissen(Kelly Kapowski), but I don't know which series came out first.

I recognize Garry Chalk doing the voice of Donkey Kong in Captain N. Ironically he went on to play Optimus Primal in MainFrame Animation's 1996 Beast Wars. Ian James Corlett, and Venus Terzo, both worked with Garry on Beast Wars.

I'm 34, i was just old enough to catch it around the end, it would come on real early in the morning, some time after Video Power (look into it, heck i use it's logo for my avatar). Simon is the worst of the characters.

Thank you for remembering Kid Video. It was a weird show, but sad that it only was so short.

Alessandro Juliana is also the english voice for L in the death note anime. Might I add that this guy seems to not age.

So... it's the Nintendo Cinematic Universe? Yeah, something like that could never catch on...

Worst job adapting...Simon. Best job, I liked Link, actually. He had personality.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid

Watched it every day..... When the 8bit nin was popular.....

I had more fun watching her explain the show than I did watching the show when it 1st aired, but I did tune in at the time and even followed the comic book mentioned for a while

Nice video! As a fan of Captain N, I had no idea about the Buddy Boy stuff. That's very interesting! However, you left out a couple of details... Alessandro Juliani (the voice of Pit/Kid Icarus) did the English dub voice of L, in Death Note! Also, Ian James Corlett (the voice of Dr. Wily) was the first voice of Goku, in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z.

Even as a kid I knew Megaman looked weird, but I still loved this show, if only for the awesome 8-bit sound effects, and the childhood dream that I TOO, might be sucked into videogame land ^_^

dear Sakurai.... Please make a Captain N mii costume in smash ultimate

I just wish they would have used more notable NES games in the series. I mean seriously, a Bayou Billy episode? Come on...

If you want to see more of the live action actor who played Kevin he is also in The New Lassie (Season 2 Eps.11) you can watch it on youtube he plays Jamie Hoff.

I have to say ..I was sucked into wanting more Nintendo games that was on the show ..Also it did made being a Kid gamer much more awesome ..Great Video

My take on it all is that i want a Captain N game now with as big a world as Zelda BOTW but in N's world, but instead of dungeons he visits all these games from the show but in the their video game form from today.

How could you leave out the voice of Captain N? It was Matt Hill who went out to play ED from ED, EDD, EDDY

I don't think they'll ever be labeled to do a adaptation of the Metroid franchise without Samus Aran ever again.

You forgot to mention that Matt Hill (Kevin) also went on to voice Ed from Ed, Edd N Eddy

8:20 That's because it's the Link from the Legend of Zelda cartoon. It was suppose to be a crossover between the two shows

Great Stuff!

Captain N will never die

The captain N comics were awesome.

I remember as a kid opening up my orange Zapper and taking out the wire that plugged into the NES because I wanted to be like Kevin.

I miss this cartoon so much.

I LOVED this show as a kid, watched it every morning on NBC -- even played Bayou Billy because of the show...which was unfortunate. Upon rewatch, I can't bring myself to hate it, it's like a Drawn Together version of Nintendo characters, and it was a blast for the time, you just had to be there.

9:01 These walls are protected by some kind of MEGA magic!

What about Samus Aran from Metroid? She was a badass female character,and yes I was ten years old and had a crush on Princess Lana.

One of the episodes featured Simon going into a world where a group of robbers are stopped by a ninja. I'm guessing that was supposed to be the Ninja Gaiden world?

Big fan of this show back in the day, amazing crossovers! Did anyone else tie a controller around their waist?

LMAO! A crocodile named Loafer. That's dark. 🤣

Loved this show as a kid!

I watched every single one of these video-game cartoons quite religiously, when I was a lad. I had noted the major differences from their in-game counterparts (including Samus's questionable absence)... But honestly, I was just glad to see my favorite sprites animated on the telly.

One of my favorite cartoons.

I was obsessed with Captain N and my NES as a little boy. Finding a smart and funny girl talking about that makes my soul and inner child smile. I gonna check this channel, maybe its always this good...

That's a good Captain N cosplay.

Captain N for Smash Bros. Ultimate!! ^^

your not even gonna bring up the fact Frank Welker did the voice for game boy...lame

When I bought _Captain N: The Game Master_ on DVD (and by extension, its 3rd season on _Super Mario World),_ I recognized Lana as Venus Terzo who I know more as *girl-type Ranma Saotome* So when I listen to one character, I cannot unhear the other

4:32 I used to be like how can you call someone that don't know how to fight King Hippo a Game Master? lol

Wow, this one was a blast from my past. I like movies/shows that reference video games. Captain N and Wreck it Ralph.

Interestingly I remember that in Mexico it was called Captain Nintendo, not Captain N. Maybe my child's memory is playing a trick on me.

I used to love this show was a kid! it's a pity the brazilian's version are lost....;__;

She can come over and be my captain N. Looking cute AF in the captain N attire.

Megaman at least got his own series.

A++ for referencing Kidd Video.

The cosplay was a nice touch on a really well researched video.

Princess Lana was hot!

what's wrong with this video's audio? can hardly hear it-had to put it to full blast to get to normal volume

i have : master system collection, playstation 1, playstation 2, psp, ,xbox 360, snes and nintendo 64.

"Everything you didn't know"? More like "Everything we want to talk about if you're new to this show". I expected some fun trivia about Captain N, not this. -Like how Kevin keen's zapper was reverse colored. -Or that megaman was tinted green because when one of the designers played the game, his TV screen was tinted wrong. -Or how the Bayou Billy episode has an uncompleted TV version, and a more complete home video version. -Or how they drew game footage for Bayou Billy, because they couldn't get the license to show footage from it. Heck when you were discussing the voice actors you left out the most important one, KEVIN KEEN'S VOICE ACTOR MATT HILL. Today most know him for the voice of Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy. And lastly, How can you complain that characters who "never talked" in NES games had voices in the cartoons? It's NES, it was rare to hear sounds that resembled voices in the games. Not only that but 90% of playable game characters did not have dialogue. How much research did the writer put into this episode? -------------- I'm a big fan of Captain N, and honestly this video just makes the series look like one big commercial. Perhaps the use of Nintendo products can be seen as marketing, but how else are you going to make a show about a kid going into Nintendo games? I think the best episode is episode 3 The Most Dangerous Game Master. Kevin has to confront an old bully from his past who is basically now in Video Land, Mike Vincent. One might think he would be better than Mike Vincent in VideoLand, but Kevin ends up losing in a race with him to beat CastleVania. He ends up dangling out a window, where he pleads to Mike to help him, and Kevin reveals that him and Mike used to be really good friends before Mike became a bully. Kevin asks Mike if he would really let him fall, and the next scene shows Mike saved Kevin and brought him back to rescue his friends. The final scene Mike ends up saving Kevin from a laser blast, killing himself in the process. Mike then exclaims that there is hope for Kevin and the real Mike to become friends once again,, and not to worry because he was just an android. This episode showed some good character from Kevin, not to mention a Kickin' Castlevania montage.

I have that jacket lol ...also created a Marvel Legends style Captain N action figure for my own Captain N story I been working on.

Oh wow you forgot that in one of the tv show it talks about a tips into the game itself. like Zelda II The Adventure of Link. Horsehead that you need to attack the head...and lets not forget in the same show talking about a path in the Graveyard to get somewhere quick.

"Super. Mario. Brothers.... THREE!"👋📺

I’m in love with this woman 😍

Gameboy reminds me of Scooter from Challenge Of The Gobots.

I loved this show.
