There’s nothing better then listening to Scott talk about a black piece of paper for an hour

Scott’s about to document the history of Nintendo Brochures before the Library of Congress

The “Only for GameCube” tag on Resident Evil 4 has aged BRILLIANTLY.

The perfect gift for the holiday of 2004 👍

What I've learned about Scott: he's a hand-talker.

"Ive been collecting black pieces of paper lately" - Scott the "Owns every port of Madden 08"Woz

Imagine if all of these brochure videos ended up being foreshadowing for a "Nintendo Brochures - Scott The Woz" video that somehow lasts for over an hour and a half

Scott you unlocked a core memory when you mentioned the 2004 ice storm, my brothers and I all got the DS and we were crowding around the space heater sending pictochats,

this is just reminding me how much I miss game instruction manuals. Not having a single one for any of my switch games is a real bummer

scott's carpet looks like rice and beans.

The DS definitely didn't catch on until the DS Lite came around. That's when they really started focusing towards the casual market. I forget the original model of the DS even exists sometimes lol.

I could listen to Scott for hours.

Man, the name "Super Mario 64 by 4" would have been such a cute and original name!

We now have a recording of Scott saying “Dreamworks Shark Tale.”

34:54 the reason some GBA games are weirdly bright is because they were designed with the original Gameboy Advance in mind, since the screen was dark and not very colorful. It's the same reason why all the Super Mario Advance games are weirdly bright and saturated.

"Grampa Scott, will you tell us a story?" "Sure thing kiddo" *busts out black paper* "So Nintendo supported the Donkey Konga with more games than they supported the Wii U Microphone"

Scott: you can always tell who the Cartoon Network kids were, they were the weird kids with snot dripping out their nose. Me, a former CN kid with chronic congestion: how dare you

DKC games on the advance were super bright so you could see them when playing on the non-backlit GBAs

Scott learns what 2004 was.

My favorite part is how Scott has to like clarify over and over he was clothed

I've always had this feeling that the DS belonged to 2006 rather than 2004. You just put everything I always thought into words. In 2004, the GBA was still getting a bunch of new games (by not only being popular, but also fairly new) and the DS's library wasn't that big. I feel like it was a "system in development". Other than that, the DS Lite (which is the version most of us associate with the console) only came out in 2007.

I'm a bit older, i remember when the DS came out and I love the phat one so much, is so comfortable and I remember being super excited because it felt so futuristic. The fact that you could play Mario 64 on a handheld and it had two screens and the speakers sound soo good. Idk it was the first system I bought with my own money when I was 14.

Scott's never finished Donkey Kong Jungle Beat? No wonder he's still a virgin.

Any day Scott mentions Rhythm Heaven is a good day.

I will say, for someone who has designed a lot of catalogs similar to this layout - that Sponge Bob thing was probably a last minute addition before it went to print and they didn't have a screen grab so they took whatever they had. I'm guessing they picked that because it looked generic enough and could pass as a "cut scene". It's what I would have done honestly.

Scott, it’s okay to admit you played you DS on the toilet as a kid, we all did that.

18:07 THIS I love how frantic the first run of Pikmin is. The emperor Bulblax is flipping terrifying when the player only has a day left. Then replaying and almost cutting the time in half as the player gets more familiar with each area is just tons of fun imo.

Scott's deep pile beige carpet is to the Scott's Stash channel as the Blue Border is to Scott to Woz.

scott has escaped the blue border

this is my like 5th Scott The Woz & Stash phase were i watch everything and i love it and never want it to stop.

If memory serves, GBA Video is the reason I got a GBA SP (My first game system). We went on a lot of road trips, and my mom bought portable DVD players to give me something to do on the trip. After I think the third one fell of my lap and broke, she bought me a GBA SP and some video cartridges, since it was definitely more durable than the cheap DVD players. Sure, my selection was a lot more limited, but as a kid I was perfectly content watching Krusty Krab Pizza over and over again.

Thank you for making stuff like this. It's the exact type of random stuff about games that I love to learn about. Both Scott the Woz and Scotts Stash are really good channels. Keep it up!

10:40 I totally agree, I love the switch’s portability but the hype around dedicated handhelds, the feeling you get from playing them, and all the weird ports and exclusives are gone with the switch

Ahhh yes, another hour-long Scott ramble to fall asleep to. Good night!

I could listen to Scott talk about a cardboard box for an hour and I'd still be entertained

Prime 2 is actually very beloved by most metroid fans, it just gets overshadowed by its predecessor, understandably.

The fact that we are farther away from the DS now, then it was to the Sega Genesis really puts things into perspective

God, I used to, scratch that, still love catalogs and brochures. Even as a kid, I loved to keep the cardboard back from the action figures I would get to see what other toys were available and I loved when they had little character info on them. I would even cut out the little pictures of the Star Wars ships and just play with those. I remember one Christmas my parents made a stocking for the stuffed Pikachu that was basically my teddy bear (that I slept with until an embarassingly late age. I still have it in my closet) and they just filled it with all of the flyers and brochures and catalogs that the stores gave out while they were Christmas shopping. I was almost as excited for that stuff as I was for my actual gifts. The ads for the translucent color N64s blew my little mind. I really love seeing Scott gush about this stuff. From one Scott to another: Neato black paper, bud

I wonder if any kid was like: I don’t want a DS it can’t use the link cable so it sucks.

9:06 oddly enough my biggest SM64DS memory is me sitting in the family room with my brother and cousins while they were watching Napoleon dynamite

Sitting in the bathroom with the water running while playing SMB64 DS. How wasteful. Starving children in Africa could've eaten that game.

20:28 “I’ve played the most of the paper Mario games that people hate including super paper Mario” That was a good game but I feel like the gameplay got people mixed on it

"Scott has never had a controversy" Scott: You can tell who's a Cartoon Network kid from the snot dripping out of their nose

Oof, when Scott said how old the DS was, that kinda hurt. How can it have been 17 years already?

HOUR LONG BROCHURE VIDEO LETS GO

I was just thinking “man I wish I had another Scott’s Stash to put on as background noise” and all of a sudden this notification came through

these videos seriously saved me in 2020. gave me something to look forward to, something niche that both a creator I loved and myself are into.

“It feels like the DS came out in 2006” Yeah, that’s when the lite came out

I love how Nintendo didn’t use a screenshot from the SpongeBob movie for the “more GameCube titles on the way” page. They just used a screenshot from Pickles instead

"BUU'S FURRY?!" I dunno, is he?

9:29 I love how riled up scott is getting about his audience thinking he'd sit on the toilet naked with a gameboy and judge him for it. Dude's talking about a piece of paper from almost 20 years ago. Do we seem like the judgemental type, Mr. Wozniak?

+1 for the the perfect background music to accompany such a video.

In two years the ds will legally be a adult

2004 was the gaming. That year was so loaded with great games. Some of whcih are still amazing or considered the best today. A year that will never happen again.

I played this video on the side when I went to bed last night, and it was the perfect way to peacefully drift into sleep.

I don't know if I just wasn't sentient enough yet, but I swear until the DS Lite came out it was like a soft launch.. Only a few people I knew even knew of the DS and I only knew of one person that had one. A couple months after the Lite came out, everybody had one.

Thank you Scott for this gift! May you continue to fill us with glee

I would eat paper to be this guy

This is a blast from the past. I remember combing over this thing on the school bus that year all that winter

I love these videos it’s like Scott just gets to geek out and talk instead of reading a long script and we get to geek out watching as well lol

The moniker of “he’s gonna take you back to the past” I feel applies more to Scott than James Rolfe for me on the grounds that Scott takes me to a past that I actually lived. God 2004 was already such a long time ago. I feel old.

I feel the same honestly I literally don't remember the ds existing until the ds lite came out and I never saw an original ds in the wild but every kid I knew had a ds lite

The original DS is forgotten. I got a DS lite and didnt even know the original model existed till years later. I didnt know a single person who had an OG model DS. It really hit its stride with the Lite.

Finally! Someone who understands the issue with 64 DS!

Both the GameCube and DS played GBA games as did the GBA. There was a point in time where you could play GBA games on everything

Arguing if the DS is Retro or not is pointless when there is people literally being nostalgic about the 2DS. Not just once I've seen videos like "do you still remember the 2DS" or "i found my old 2DS, so nostalgic"

Virtua Quest was a really neat 3D fighting/beat-em-up/RPG where you could basically built your own moveset by fighting dudes. Never finished it, but I did enjoy my time with it.

More games support the DK Bongos than support the DJ Hero turntable.

The GBA-DS-DS Lite era was such a weird, but FUN time! Love it! Amazing, hilarious job, as always! Your one-liners at the end always slay me! X'D

These video where you go through old game console catalogs are my fav!

I really like these, even though they are long I still watch almost all of it lol

Ah remember when people called the 3DS the DS 2?

Scitt counting on his fingers is the highlight of my day

I remember the original Nintendo DS site having a really nice airy vibe to it and the motto at the top of the page being "Touching is Good".

The melee trophy theme music in the background really adds to the nostalgic feel

I only ever had the original DS and I believe I got it in early 2005. I was blown away by it as a little kid. I still think the Lite looks less cool to this day too.

Thank you for reminding me how much Nintendo was into the color silver during the 2000s

The DS was the “3rd Pillar of Nintendo”. 1. GameCube 2. GameBoy Advance 3. Nintendo DS THE HOLY TRINITY THE TRIFORCE OF NINTENDO THE TRIFECTA OF POWER

Odama was supposed to use the DK Bongos in a scrapped multiplayer mode. I’m pretty sure there is video of it at a conference here on KZfaq. Shame it wasn’t in the final game :(

I remember picking this brochure up at a store in the USA. Thanks for bringing back tons of memories!

fun fact: gameloft made a microtransaction infested gta ripoff

The last Nintendo holiday brochure I wasn't alive for

I gotta make a comment on Urbz: Sims in the City. I LOVED that game. I don’t know what it was, but my brother and cousins all loved it. We all played that game over and over. Def played it the most out of any of those early titles. good times. Hearing the soundtrack takes me right back

Prime 2 is a blast, honestly. Hard but a hidden gem, imo, multiplayer aside. Also I love seeing these booklets again!

Watching this reminds me of grabbing my NDS (Original clamshell) light blue with a copy of Nintendogs bundle. It was such a great console until the damned hinge snapped, it was so fragile.

Old catalog: *exists* Scott: "Yeah, I can get an hour of content out of that."

Man, you can tell when someone grew up watching Nick instead of CN, they grow up to look like Scott The Woz!

29:33 Yes there's a game called Virtua Quest, and it was my childhood game at the time. I never beat it until the pandemic, but I'd recommend it for a blue border video.

I could sit and listen to Scott talk about anything even a piece of paper

you talking about old nintendo promotional pamphlets for like an hour is one of my favorite things ever thank you for making these videos

25:21 So the weird thing with WWE games back in the 6th generation is that either THQ, WWE, or Yukes decided to have 3 separate brands prior to SmackDown Vs Raw 2007. PlayStation had SmackDown licensed games, Xbox had Raw licensed games, and Gamecube had other WWE licensing such as WrestleMania X8, XIX, and the Day of Reckoning series. SVR07 was the first title since WWF Attitude to have the same branding multiplatform (at least, to my knowledge).

I've always wanted Metroid Prime 1/2 for the gamecube but the german version required 60Hz TV which none of my friends or me had at that time

I really miss the DS and Wii era, when Nintendo gave it their all to make original games for 60 dollars instead of ports, while also releasing virtual console games for less money.

Drink every time Scott says “mobile” or “portable”

I had this brochure when it was out, I left it in my father’s trunk and day after Black Friday I opened his trunk I saw the brochure in there forgetting I put it in there giving me false hope I was getting one for Christmas

For some reason I love videos about things that literally, Only Scott cares about

I've made a playlist of all of these type of videos Scott made and I play it on repeat as ambient noise at all times

As a Badass Ninja who was a Cartoon Network Kid growing up, GFY

I love this man tbh him explaining him sitting on the toilet it was hilarious

Great now when people ask how old I am I can say " Nintendo Ds " And on my resume I can finally identify as retro
