Me and my friends played the Hell out of Nintendo! My first and main Go to games were Zelda, Metroid, Mike Tyson Punch Out, Top Gun, Contra, MegaMan, plus more. I ended buying a Nintendo Gameboy when I went in the Navy. I went through so many batteries! LoL! Good Video 👍

Thanks for the episode! I was born in January 1981, so I was a prime age to experience and appreciate the “NES” (we all just called it “Nintendo” because that was the only Nintendo system we knew or cared about). We didn’t really think all the games coming out were amazing because we weren’t looking back with rose-coloured glasses. We obviously knew Mario 3 and Mega Man 3, etc., were awesome, but to us, this was the norm. Nintendo reigned supreme and they defined the era and what video games were. They were part of the fabric of our lived experience and talking about our progress in games was often the topic of conversation at school. We had no idea the year was turning out to be epic. We just thought that Nintendo was so freakin’ fun. I got together with my friend and we pinned raccoon ears and a tail on ourselves and jumped around, pretending to be Mario and Luigi. We recorded ourselves on audio cassettes playing Mario 3 so we could hear the music and sound effects. Nintendo was so engrained in our lives, but we still were active and played sports and explored outside. It was a great time!

Did anybody notice we got a bunch of "3" games in 1990? Super Mario Bros. 3, Castlevania 3, Mega Man 3, Thunder Force 3 for Sega Genesis? In Japan, they got the original Final Fantasy 3! Game Genie also included codes for handicapping the player, like starting with 1 life, or a lower jump. So not always a "cheat"... but kids looked at those and asked why they'd want to do that!

Summer of ‘89 I bought a Genesis with my own earnings at 13 but due to the lack of titles and friends who owned one, still played NES for a couple years thereafter (Until SNES dropped).

Yoo, Snake's Revenge. I got that in a $5 score at a local automotive swap meet back in like 2012 maybe. It was a leather wrapped Nintendo game carrying hardcase. I got about a dozen or so games like Snake's Revenge, Tiger Heli, etc. the more military type games. But the real winner was the huge amount of manuals in the case. There's gotta be like 40 manuals in there, for a lot of games that I didn't get. I think Yo! Noid might be one of those. I'd have to go find the thing to check exactly what's in there. When we lament the state of game hunting today, these are the types of deals we're talking about. You're generally just not gonna find that anymore.

I love the NES because there's always hidden gems to find.....even Mario games. So everyone knows that there's a harder version of Super Mario Bros 2 which was called the Lost Levels and was released in Japan, but not everyone knows there's a harder version of Super Mario Bros 1 and Super Mario Bros 3....and no it's not a hacked version. These were official releases from Nintendo called Super Mario Bros VS and Super Mario Bros 3 (Japan Version). They are MUCH harder than the regular versions with Super Mario Bros VS being a little like Lost Levels with some difficulty tweaks here and there. Then we have SMB3 Japan which makes you play like SMB1 in that even if you are wearing Fire Mario or Tanoki Mario etc...you will go all the way back down to little Mario if you get hit once. It's a unique twist and you should definitely try it!

I think i got close to every game on the list (definitely not at release date) for 1990 releases. Sometimes I forget what those old ass games meant to me as a kid, you had to sit there and try to beat a game in ONE SITTING! If you didn't love the game you had to do something stupid like play outside 😂 Great video, cheers boys🍻

You really can’t go wrong with any year between 1988-90 when it comes to NES games. No wonder the NES had a 90%+ market share in video games.

Hideo Kojima didn't like Metal Gear on the NES. The MSX version was the proper verison. MSX was a popular computer platform in Japan despite it being made by Microsoft. The port could have been better with some really bad design faults that were not present in the MSX version.

TMNT2 was massive. As kids we were all a bit disappointed by the first one because we didn't get it, as you mentioned. It also grew on me later. It was a game aimed at 8 year olds and it was hard as F! They more than made up for that with TMNT2. That was my favorite beat em up game for a long long time. Dragon Warrior also grew on me when I was older. Someone bought it for me when I was really young and I had no clue what I was supposed to do. I thought it was terrible. Tried it a few times, then it sat in my NES case for years. Tried it again when I was closer to 12, was one of my favorites for a while. Yeah Manhattan Project was even better, but too late in the NES lifespan to make the same impact the 2nd one did. The Genesis was out for years by this point (although nobody knew it until Sonic came out) and the SNES was released the year prior. 16 bit TMNT games took it to a whole new level. It really was like the arcade then.
