always found the Nes to be very bland even when compared to the C64's pale colours. Some great games on the Nes of course but I never saw it as an upgrade. The Master System did at least look like it was but I stuck with the C64. The Nes and Master System both had that per line limit making for some horrible disappearing graphics too so they never appealed to me. Decent systems though with some very compelling games

Absolute trash console that hipster revisionists try to paint as "could have done even better than the MD and the SNES". No.

Half these games didn't push it and we're arebtneones that did like metroid prime

Great video. The opening for the Sonic 3D Blast I also consider a well done too.

I don't remember if it used any enhancement chips, but you should check out Micro Mages! A somewhat recent game released for the NES that fits within the original 48KB cartridge design and looks *amazing*.

Greystorm on the C64 looks suspicously like Hawkeye on the C64...

The resident evil 1 remake on GameCube is still amazing today

Do a Vita vs Switch comparison

Are you serious! The best sounding game on the Famicom aka NES is r/\f World aka Journey to Silius. And taking into account the possible Famicom Disk System sound chip, Akumajou Densetsu is also in the lead.

I understand that the Game Boy Color displays more information on the screen (colors on screen, backgrounds and sprites), but I doubt that's the case. Colors renditions of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Atlantic Adventures confirm this. And there should be many such examples.

What does the picture resolution on TV give when connecting a Famicom to it? What we see is not a real image, but one stretched to the size of a CRT TV (after all, this so-called monitor is close to the Famicom in aspect ratio), and this is many times greater than the resolution of the Game Boy. So the Game Boy Color lost not to the Famicom itself in terms of picture resolution, but to the stretched image on TV.

The portable consoles from SEGA and NEC that you mentioned were not competitors to the Famicom or Game Boy (including the Color version). Firstly, these laptops went missing in their own way. For example, SEGA Nomad was eating batteries. Secondly, SEGA Momad was not a competitor, but SEGA Game Gear, including its larger sister console, the SEGA Master System. Here it’s not just a related console, but the SEGA Game Gear hardware has been reduced to the SEGA Master System, without being technically limited, as is the case with the Famicom and Game Boy (including the Color version).

This video does the games a disservice as it's a 30FPS video and I imagine at least some of these games ran at 60. So this video ends up making those games look stuttery.

I loved that computer. It was my second computer. The Timex Sinclair 1000 was my first. The full sized real keyboard, sound and color blew my mind. It jump started my interest in computers. Especially in my digital electronics projects, thanks to the user and expansion ports giving me access to the hardware.

new sub gg

6:55 Sprites can cover the whole screen, by using all big sprites without overlapping you can avoid crossing any limits and even have some spare ones, as shown partially at 5:55 , or in the intro of road runner's rally.

If sms had 3d games without hardware scaling neogeo can do sprite scaling so they could have made a 3d fighter game like they did riding heroes! It may have been hard but not impossible!

So let me get this straight. Every time the Amiga had a better version then it was all to do with superior quality and hardware, but when the ST had the better version it was a glitch, lack of development time on the Amiga, or someone couldn't be bothered!?!?? No - not at all. For the record I had BOTH machines and loved them both. But the ST had better ports in 'some' games - NO excuses Amiga fan boys/girls.

But what about the likes of Fighters Megamix, Dead or Alive, Battle Arena Toshinden Remix & Ultimate Revenge Attack, etc.?

35:29 Considering they got this game running on a base Gameboy, this is an optimization issue. Not a power issue.

Wtf no metroid prime

OoooOOooh The original computer war! Actually, I still have both, still play both and still love both. I have to admit I did like Dungeon Master better on my STe 520 and if you want to play Sundog The Frozen Legacy, only the old Apple Mac or the ST are the only platforms in town outside of emulation.

I remember having my mind blown when playing Rogue Squadron and seeing textures actually get MORE CLEAR the closer you got to them, rather than just getting blurry.

I noticed Master System background tiles allows transparent features,it is found in Golden Axe and altered beast. This feature allows the Master System to get on pace with their new competitors.

I was never a real fan of the gamecube but i do consider it to be the rectified version of the N64 with better controllers,better graphics (no more blurry textures and ugly anti aliassing),more easy to use (no need to swap ram modules or difficulties with adding or removing a power supply to it) I consider supermario sunshine to look amezing as well conpared to supermario 64 wigh more and much sharper more colorful textures and much more polygons, i also do got fond memories of that game since i was reliving and start to live on my own back in 2009, i can’t believe that we are already 15 years futher in time phew, I also do consoder need for speed underground looking amezing, i was always used with the gba version but this ngc version just destroys it in every way.

While it is true that the snes does have a dedicated 16bit soundchip and the gba only does have a non-dedicated 8bit soundchip, so on paper that should mean that snes audio in most games are always better then in those games on the gba right??? Well i HATE to say it as a huge snes fan but that’s sadly NOT always the case, that’s because while the gba can play true 8bit samples at desired length’s you want, most snes games do use 4bit adpcm samples wich were cut & stretched to fit all within that 64KB audio ram, the snes then tries to convert those adpcm samples back to 16bit by filling in those gaps with the missing data and theres also a lowpass filter to surpress noise, but as a result of this, it can sound muffled, flat noisy and dry,, supermario allstars is sadly a great example of this, just compare those sound effects and instruments with those gba versions of games like mario 3 and you can hear that the sound is very flat & dry while on the gba version it sounds more dynamic and fuller (trough i mostly don’t like those used instruments in the gba version) So what do you rather want, full length 8bit audio or cut & stretched 4bit audio being upconverted to 16bit ??? Now there is a way to get around that 64bit KB audio ram on the snes wich will allow you to play full length adpcm audio upsampled back to 16bit but that requires audio swapping and it requires more bandwide but this way cut & stretching the audio can be avoided resulting in much better audio quality But sadly only a few snes games do use that audio ram as a buffer to allow more and better audio quality on the snes, Also i freaking HATE to say it but i must admit that i do like those small touches of improvements in the gba versions of those supermariobros games such containing extra contents and effects etc,,, am mean while i was always fine with supermario allstars but seeing those fixes & improvements in those gba versions of those games just adds a bit extra of flavor to those games.

Emulation is better than console. Dolphin slays the gamecube with a fucking 1070. Dude what the actual fuck are you taking about??

I remember seeing it at the mall running Super Smash Bros Melee and had to have it. Still a wonderful console to this day.

Is the Steam Deck a joke to you? A portable Switch emulator machine DOES exist!

When NFS Carbon showed up I thought it was some kind of joke. Underground 1 looks way better, but none of these should be in a list like this. StarFox Adventure, Metroid Prime 1&2 and Mario Sunshine are better examples.

Nintendo needs to release HD Remasters of GameCube games.

great vid

My favourite ever console. I ended up with about 40 games, partly because they were going for £5 - £10 in CEX in the late '00s.

3:05 that's also the stage that still lags on modern PCs with dolphin

to me it was crap as i wanted action and excitement not a game that was about as thrilling as a crossword but everyone goes on and on about jet shit wiily sorry but i was a kid when i first played this a few years after it came out and i turned it of after my cousin had played it saying it was a good game to me its like reading a book if you want to sleep its dull and broken to me but my first time playing games was the arcades and this was just a what the hell is this crap and played death chase or hell the best game at the time jet pack this as thrilling as picking up litter LOL sorry rough night at work but the game is still crap

Hey Pal is even more better than NTSC..

2:23 That one didn't age quite so well

GameCube GPU was actually originally designed by a company called ArtX which was acquired by ATI, so it has no relation to the PC graphics cards.

It’s mind boggling to think that the Gameboy advance is over half as powerful as the playstation

Hello, I would like to mention "Mortevielle Mannor". Although the Amstrad graphics are not surprisingly as good as on Atari ST, the Amstrad wins over the Atari ST when we think about the sound. Both versions include an amazing vocal synthesis, but the Amstrad version also includes fully digitized sounds for the ambiance, while the ST version only makes use of synthetic sounds. The solution to the game is well-known, but only few people understand it. In this video, I give my own detailed explanation for the solution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJXMkpeVaJpnq6c

Starfox Adventures neglected yet again...

I thought at the time that Wind Waker was one of the best-looking games I'd ever seen, and all the moaning about the graphics made me very sad about the state of the game industry at that time.

Annoying accent. Never heard anyone talk like this in my life, in real life. Weirdly loads of people put this ridiculous accent on on KZbin? Thumbs down. Ruins the video. Just talk normally FFS

I loved the GameCube. It was the only console I ever went to a midnight release for. Came away with Luigi’s Mansion, Rogue Leader, and Super Monkey Ball. Adored that unique controller too, but might be in a minority there…

The ps2 was big because of playing DVDs. It was a weaker console.

I’m not sure wind Waker was paying any limits but I’m prettt sure Metroid Prime did.

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I wanted to add something about the sprite flickering. This was something that had to be programmed for. The NES would natively only display the first 8 sprites on a single line, after that they would just be invisible. What companies did was they would either shuffle the sprites around in memory to show each sprite on successive frames, or they would pick a priority sprite(such as the player) and cycle the rest. It’s actually a very nuanced solution to a major problem.

Is this Apple II and Apple IIe collectively, do these all run on both?

But not share the wav??? For shame 😳

How is collision handled? When the polygons are shown in the viewer the boundary edges are sometimes much higher than the character is shown walking. If collision was done detecting the boundary of the polygon box the main character would look like it was floating above the platform.
