Good Nintentions Gaiden Episode #02
Added 2016-09-10 18:41:22 +0000 UTCThis episode turned out a bit more like Chrontendo than I intended, so... whoops. But, basically, I wanted to compare and contrast the NES launch to that of the Famicom, to show off the very different first-year libraries each system received. It's basically a video adaptation of the book excerpt I posted a little while back, so you've probably already seen this material. But hey!
Please note that if you're watching this video as soon as I post it, you'll hear an editing glitch at about the 10-minute mark where I repeat a phrase. YouTube is processing an edit to remove that even as I type this, so enjoy my goof while ya can.

A few thoughts (because I just can't stop copy editing) - 1:50 (Super Mario 64) - those dates look way off. 8:00 - It would be awesome to see that Othello Cocktail Cabinet and the TV Game System in the video. We see the Yakuman device about a minute later. 14:20 - Why does Baseball have white pillarboxes? It also seems like Donkey Kong Jr. Math will be the next episode after Super Mario Bros. But Donkey Kong, DK Jr., and Popeye came out before it - you may want to check the "Coming Up in Good Nintentions Episode #s" for the entire episode before it goes public on YouTube. Awesome video though - I loved seeing Donkey Kong rocking out on the drums at the end. And as far as sounding too much like Chrontendo? You two come from very different angles - especially on these early games. This was a solid and unique take on the Famicom lineup.
