1 Hour of NES Game Facts to Fall Asleep to

[@DidYouKnowGamin]

I love videos on NES games and commenting to boost them in the algorithm. Two of my favorite things.

[@jonathanwilson7949]

Nah

[@dionaeamuscipula6649]

Algorithm, expand DidYouKnowGaming?'s reccomendationussy

[@patrikmansuri]

I like eggs

[@Diet_sprite]

But you're videos gets lots of views there's no need to push the algorithm your videos are good

[@calebmarking342]

I love the NES!

[@powguma]

24:30 That samurai theme was also used in Mario Maker 2, on a special event trigger with a samurai swinging a sword and enemies appearing on the screen

[@HoosierCallin]

I'm 43 and I grew up playing NES. I still love NES, epically the music the console can produce.

[@MTG69]

1980, the perfect year to be born.

[@Vriess123]

The chiptunes from the NES and other consoles of the same era are so unique and awesome

[@dsmbrasiloficial]

Weirdly enough, it does work to help me sleep. English is not my first language, and although I can understand the narrator perfectly, there is something about that language, the English accent or/and the calm voice that helps me sleep!

[@retropalooza]

Yeah but when u fall asleep to it night after night like I do you'll start to realize that u randomly know all these facts about games u didn't know you did. It's freaky....and in your case you probably will speak English better

[@richarddavis8863]

Sometimes when I fall asleep with TV or a video on a I dream about whats being talked about

[@MegaZeta]

People marvel over the _StarTropics_ letter, but consider the market for video games back then: kids age 8 to 12. Plus, you got all sorts of promotional paper ads in video game boxes, and very few people kept the cardboard box instead of just the plastic sleeve for the cartridge. Meaning, that letter was probably either lost or thrown out by a parent well before it was needed.

[@Wavebeam64]

I’ve been for real using these to fall asleep to. Thanks for these awesome consolidation videos!

[@marcoschiacchiera7314]

The sound is all over the place. You should check the levels, sometimes I turn the volume up cause the narrator is whispering and all of sudden i get deaf by 8 bit music

[@Tenebro-bj5iu]

I never had a NES, even my oldest brother only ever had a SNES. It always blew my mind that some NES games' sales rival today's most hyped games. There are definitely a lot more gamers nowadays than there were back then yet here we are

[@muneno1066]

If you got a Switch, try out the NES games. A lot of great games that still hold up today. Super Mario 2 is my personal fave

[@tpolutts3309]

The really crazy part is I remember paying $79 for an NES game in 1993. 30 years later and that sounds like a silly price for a new game

[@Arthur19-v3y]

There were less gamers back then, but also less games.

[@dannygee7589]

Seriously guys, how can anyone fall asleep to your videos? So jarring 😂

[@dubb7777]

Lil Nemo blew me away as a kid. I remember playing it almost as much as Super Mario 3.

[@dowingba]

Half the time Japanese develops say their games are too hard for western audiences, and the other half of the time they purposely pump up the difficulty for the western version.

[@solaceinrage]

Little Nemo was a blast from the past. I played a little of it not long ago to test an emulator, and it still holds up even today.

[@beauwalker9820]

Got the actual cartridge from GameStop (back when they sold used old games) for only 5 bucks. It's great, loved the TMS movie too when I was little.

[@CodyPoll]

Never played the game, but I loved the video when I was a little kid. My parents just couldn't understand I'd keep picking it when we rented movies

[@HooktonFonnix]

Interesting fact: the dual screen Punch Out arcade game was voiced by Don James, one of Nintendo of America's first employees, who also was responsible for writing the English localized text for Star Tropics (among many, many other accomplishments). James is still working at NOA, though he just recently announced he will be retiring in August of 2024

[@tommyjones1357]

Kid Icarus? I’ve been pronouncing it Kid Icarus.

[@TheSultan1470]

Hmmm... nah, neither. I'm pretty sure it's actually Kid Icarus.

[@s.panimations]

I've always been fascinated by the NES and practically any old systems, so this video is right up my alley.

[@Yeldibus]

You missed a huge Takamaru cameo. In Super Mare Maker 2, there is a sound effect you can put in a level. When the player touches it, Takamaru and several of his enemies run across the screen for a while, blocking the view on what's actually going on.

[@eugenebrown578]

Loved that I get to learn so many facts for the NES. Thanks DYKG.

[@florianwadley9468]

Amazing video as always, love listening while gaming

[@WagwanHappyPappyHapPap]

If you work a security job and you aren't into it and wanna do less then just quit. If you can't do your job and do it well you're putting people at risk cause you simply can't be asked

[@LittlePlant888]

How in the world does anyone fall asleep to this? Especially at 19:03 where it becomes more bassy than normal.

[@declanhenshaw1598]

Have you tried turning it down and not having it on full volume?

[@Ironstarfish]

STAR TROPICS is one of the hardest nes games for me as a kid. The code and that stupid music note, not to mention instant death traps and hard enemies

[@carlwinslow664]

Thanks for putting this together. Super relaxing and nostalgic.

[@raf.raf.]

Hell yeah, opening up the video with a Tim Follin track!

[@OtherMomo]

Did you know? Back in the day, during the development of crash bandicoot, the devs internally referred to the game differently, based on a popular side scrolling platformer. Referencing the perspective you control crash, they called this: Mario's Hip.

[@ReaperSound]

I can't tell you how underrated Sweet Home is. Phenomenal game and extraordinarily strategic.

[@gmoney4980]

Wow... I had Sweet Home but didn't understand or beat it. I was only 10yrs old. Now, seeing this makes me want to play it again. At that time, I lived in Guam & had both NES & Famicom.... also MANY bootlegs . Like 50-in- 1 cartridges.

[@SirBradford012]

What he said about no fear on the sweet home section, I’m not scared of most things but that’s because fear to me is only in the things we can’t seem to understand. I think I could make a hell of a game

[@ItsReallyGeo]

most calming voice

[@unclejoker9975]

That Rockboard game would have gotten a lot of love from me and my friends.

[@michaelkolman8313]

Rockboard is such a weird idea but it also seems kind of fun.

[@rickywoonkabueno]

the first game I've ever passed (not completed) was Kirby Adventures, really an easy and fun game of the NES library

[@natedoggrevolution]

56:22 that’s actually a common misconception because it’s the opposite which holds true. The rental market was so huge in North America games that made their way stateside were notoriously harder than their Japanese counterparts to capitalize on this.

[@ren3gadeviews274]

I played and beat sweet home years ago. It's definitely an interesting game.

[@danielsutherland2599]

Oh god yes I needed this today.

Murusame Castle looks like a fantastic game for nes. Wonder why they never ported it. Also, having played a bit of Mario Maker 2, I now understand where the Samurai sound effect originates 😅

[@jamesleblanc7437]

Wow, Sweet Home was way ahead of it’s time!

[@emptyroomd9567]

I’m stoked so I think this helped pass time

[@LaserfaceJones]

Is the plot of Mystical Ninja on the 64 just a giant parody of Murasama's Castle? It starts off with aliens taking over a castle and animating a giant head statue, but to the end of turning it into a theater.

[@ValanceJ]

[@steelballrunner636]

Holy Diver has so many music references, you'd think the plot was from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure if you didn't know any better.

[@TheXeroLink]

I love Nintendo but the section on Star Tropics is just more of why they are so annoying anymore. Came up with a perfectly good way to do what was needed in the Wii version and then dropped it for all subsequent releases

[@MegaZeta]

Tbf the original _StarTropics_ letter is also evidence of how annoying Nintendo could be. Most who played video games back then were kids, game boxes were full of useless paper advertising and most people kept the cartridge's plastic sleeve, throwing out the cardboard box. A few kids / parents might have kept the letter. Most probably lost it or threw it away.
