10 NES Facts You Probably Didn't Know

[@hekkensnatser]

"... The evil game publishers of today." *shows picture of EA*

[@victornaut]

+It's a Llama So true lol

[@Batnoodles]

EA is good compared to Konami

[@MrBOx195]

+Batnoodles poor kid you know nothing of this world ahahah Konami is shit , EA is nightmare shit and Ubisoft is way worse than those 2

[@victornaut]

MrBOx195 Assassin's Creed - Jesper Kyd = SHIT

[@MrBOx195]

thronecode all Assassin's Creed after Rogue are shit.....ACIII and Unity are shit

[@astrosteve]

I knew about Holy Diver, but only because I saw the James & Mike on it a few days before I saw this video. I've also known about the Nintendo TV thing for quite a while. I remember hearing about the lockout chip controversy as a kid in the late 80s, so I knew about that one way longer than any of the others. I didn't know any of the other stuff, though. Good video!

[@BOLPutube]

Yoshi was rideable on an NES Mario game called Mario's Missing. Although, it wasn't much of a Mario game to begin with. So, the hardware of the NES could've made a rideable Yoshi.

[@SheepyChris]

+BarackObamaLikesPoop Also, there's a hack for SMB3 called Super Mario Bros. 3 Mix, and it contains a fully functioning rideable Yoshi, with the same features from SMW.

[@taylorsharp2196]

+BarackObamaLikesPoop Yeah they didn't give much detail in the video. I've heard that the actual reason was the NES controller only had two buttons, and the mario designers (maybe Miyamoto himself) wanted a dedicated button for dismounting Yoshi. I suppose they could've used pressing A and B together or something, but waiting for a controller with more buttons more or less makes sense.

[@ratix98]

+taylor sharp it would be up and a. at least it makes more sense that way to me. it would be hard to run and jump at the same time while riding yoshi if it was a and b. to many mistakes would be made

[@austin5623isawesome]

Well, that game was very small. And by that time, the devs knew how to keep hardware strain down.

[@stefhendricks]

what about the super Mario world bootleg port for the NES. almost all elements made it to the NES version.

[@makemeresty17]

woah its been like 20+ years since NES was released but still theres something new that we don't know. Thanks for this vid gameranx.

[@timothylewis2527]

I knew about half of these and quite a few things that they didn't mention (for example, the Life Fitness Life Cycle--an actual exercise bike that worked with the NES or the Miracle piano keyboard OR the reason why the light gun isn't grey, anymore or that there was going to be a Gameboy adapter for the NES from Biederman Design Labs) but I have to admit, this was a good video with some really good trivia. Good job, guys!

[@trimmoos]

The Adventures of Lolo 1, 2 and 3. Great puzzle games for NES. I've still got them.

[@X-RAGE]

Heres a fact you should have include : the little square box under the NES is used to hide an hidden expansion port for an unreleash version o the American Famicom disk system, the Extra audio channel from the famicom cartridge port was repurposed on the unused expansion port on the NES In order th show the unused expansion port, you need to cut the rectangular plastic by cutting the 4 plastic joint.

[@LUCKO2022]

No the NES did NOT kick-start consoles. That goes to the Atari 2600 which made consoles and home video games popular in the first place.

[@OuterfleshEntertainment]

Yeah, I don't know. NES definitely re-kick started it then.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Many of these games are still fun to this day. Good game design goes a long way.

[@MichaelShulski]

The NES originally had a package that came with a robot called ROB. It wasn't very good. It sure looked cool though.

[@Teifling]

Neat video, I almost wish that knitter peripheral was a thing. The SNES is my favorite Nintendo console... favorite console ever really.

[@8bit_bryan]

FYI: Duck Hunt Arcade version has a bonus round where you can actually shoot the dog. His face turns burnt black then later hobbles onto the forground with a crutch and cast all pissed off.

[@KatOwO2235]

yeah, apparently that technology thing with older tvs makes Duck Hunt unplayable on new tvs because those 2 frames will not play on newer tvs, I have a giant screen tv that's old so we use it for our older consoles and I couldn't hit a thing with it on Duck Hunt

[@upsilandre]

DQ4 is 512 KB not 1 MB (Kirby is 768 KB and the only 1 MB cartridge is Metal Slader Glory ) Galaxian is 16 KB

[@ezg8448]

Thankfully someone got the DW4 (was technically dragon warrior due to copyright issues of course) size correct, it was only 4 megabits or 1/2 megabyte in size. The true reason reason it became a 1 megabyte cartridge was because early emulators were unable to load the game until someone figured out doubling the size fixed the problem.

[@Whelkman]

Similar thing with Galaxian. Marat Fayzullin, inventor of iNES and thus the iNES mapper system, set ROM bank loads to 16 KB, presumably because he wasn't aware of Galaxian's smaller 8 KB size. As a result, there are no "true" Galxian ROM in general circulation; all are overdumped to compensate for iNES' limitations.

[@MrNorbert1994]

Not to mention if he really wanted to talk about "large NES games' Action 52 would be the top, since it is over 2MB of data, because of that crappy mapper.

[@only1sn1not1taken]

"What is the biggest NES game ever made? The largest single NES game that I know of is Dragonquest 4 / Dragon Warrior 4. It has 1 megabyte of program ROM. Also, the Japanese game Metal Slader Glory has 512K of PRG and 512K of CHR ROM, making it also a full megabyte. Several pirate/unlicenced Famicom games are also pretty large." Directly from NESDEV website. This is probably where the guy got much of his information. As far as the DQ4 being doubled in size, it seems there is a wiki that mentions this but that was only updated about 10 days before this video went up on youtube.

[@sumez4369]

bootgod's database has been around for a while, and correctly lists DQ4/DW4 as a 512kb PRG-ROM using chr-ram for video data. It would have been a really simple thing to check up on. I think the game was dumped as a 1MB file at one point causing this misinformation.

[@creepingnet]

Dragon Quest (WARRIOR) IV is one of my favorite games for the NES. 1MB of pure JRPG goodness!

[@Ma5asak45]

talks about evil corporations, shows EA +1

[@ericstockley]

Dude, that was amazing. I was expecting stuff I already knew.

[@Sniffzoer]

the one fact that blew my mind the most was when he said that "most games on the nes was good" Now i fucking love the NES, but there was in fact very few good games if you compare the whole library.

[@masterninjahh]

same with every consoles library. ive dug though the nes, snes and segas library using an everdrive and i can say that the nes has the most good games at least for platformers. for the snes and sega you have your gems for platformers but once you get through those it goes downhill quickly.

[@Gregolas]

Technically, the NES did have the specifications to have Yoshi as a character, the developers just couldn't figure it out, there are hacks of NES Mario games that allow Yoshi to be ridden.

[@keiththomas3352]

Metroid & Kid Icarus were both released in 1986 & had alternate endings. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was released in 1987.

[@3DJapan]

4:07 Just a couple of years ago Vizio TVs came out with OnLive gaming built in.

[@einherrjar]

Hummer Team made an NES/Famicom backport of Super Mario World, complete with Mario riding Yoshi. copies on original cart are incredibly rare, but the rom is widely available.

[@toddkes5890]

Nintendo knitting machine - combine that with a print screen capability, so you can take a screen cap of your favorite boss battle, ending, or high score, then print that out to wear.

[@mrhankcollins]

The hands free: I remember that. When I was a kid we visited friends of my parents who had a disabled daughter who had the device. It worked well! Actually she kicked my but using that lol

[@ColtinCalloway]

You know, many conversion top vans in the early 90's(one's with TV's) came with an original Nintendo built into van. Not the console model most people own(ed) in the US, rather a more compact, yet somewhat common version of the console. I know my 1992 GMC Vandura Starcraft had one built in. Though it's no longer there, I see references to it in some of the original manuals.

[@AudioAndroid]

The NES Zapper working only on CRT is correct, a few months ago I hooked up my Sega Master System to my flat screen for my nephew to play and just like the NES Zapper the SEGA Light Phaser also only works with a CRT TV leaving my LED crying.

[@sammylane21]

Lets get one thing straight , the NES SYSTEM was not "a good" console..... it was/ IS a wonderful lil console that saved the gaming industries and should be held in the highest regards and be put in museums . Yes I am being serious . Sadly my original NES broke when my 3 yr old cousin spilled his drink over it and it fried . 20 yrs of fun gone in seconds . A moment of silence , please .

[@evileye515]

buy another one there are like 60 dollars on ebay with wires and controllers

[@AlexOjideagu2]

The NES did not save the gaming industry in Europe or Japan. Americans need to stop spreading this myth. Europe had a billion dollar gaming industry which was nothing to do with Nintendo.

[@Skidmore1PSU]

Mike Tysons punchout is still to this day the best game ever created

[@saturnargentavis1901]

10 things most actual gamers knew

[@toddrobertson1398]

Haha my dad had the sharp tv with the Nintendo built in. He loved that thing!

[@markxv2267]

So many wrong 'facts'. At least do your homework before you post a video like this.

[@cakestalker]

Lots of bad and false information here. First of all, Yoshi not being on NES because of hardware limitations? Well, he is present in the unofficial\pirated port of Super Mario World for NES, so it was indeed possible. Secondly, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1987) was not the first game with multiple endings.. both Metroid and Dragon Quest also had multiple endings and was released a year earlier in 1986..another example is Nobunaga's Ambition, originally released in 1983, but ported to NES in 1985.

[@jshanecharles7033]

Lol I thought that the GameCube with a dvd drive was a toaster!!!😂😂😂

[@Yumabillion]

why is everyone in the comments so nitpicky and rude? I liked the video keep up the good work!

[@emmettturner9452]

There are TWO Waldo games on the NES. Not sure why the existence of even one warrants a place on this list. What's next? A 670 entry list with "There's an X game" for literally every title in the library? Matsushita/Panasonic also made the drive in the standard GameCube. You didn't think Nintendo manufactured their own disc drives, did you?

[@GR8119]

Fact you didnt know: On Mike Tysons Punch Out, when fighting Mike Tyson if you can duck and dodge his one-hitter quitters for the first 1:30 of the first round, it then becomes a semi-fair fight. He cant KO you with one punch after that. He still hits with HEAVY damage, but u wont go down immediately. How I know? Thousands of hours playing this game. Beat Mike 3 times (WITHOUT Game Genie) out of prolly 10,000 tries.

[@kaioocarvalho]

I knew number 2. That's how I cheated pointing at the lightbulb in the ceiling, and letting my friends with a "wtf, how did you do that" face. kkkk Those were the days.

[@sysghost]

The DRM case of "Atari vs Nintendo" is a nice example where DRM does good. Too bad DRM nowadays tend to stand more in the way of the legal user, rather than the intended targets. EA is a good example of just that.

[@rifter0x0000]

Simon's Quest was NOT the first game with multiple endings. There were a number of games before it that did. It's not even the first one on the NES. Metroid had several endings, for example.

[@svguerin3]

Just started this video, and 30 seconds into it they mentioned that Castlevania 2 was the first game with different endings based on time completed, etc. Didn't Metroid do that a year earlier?

[@Browningate]

Wait a second. "Most games were pretty darn good"? Have you seen the Angry Videogame Nerd?

[@beatlejuice1165]

Huh, who knew Nintendo's infatuation with yarn went that far back?

[@ConsoleCleric]

Metroid had slightly different endings and that was released a year earlier than Simon's Quest.

[@rockerseven]

the where's waldo game was actually pretty easy. it isn't as hard as this video makes it seem. the waldo sprite may have shared some characteristics with the other people, but it still had a striped shirt and solid pants which the characters didn't. also, sony TVs do come with a built in PS3, though it's only able to play games through PS now.

[@xaer0knight]

what a minute the biggest NES cart was Kirby's Adventure...?

[@infernoreviews2529]

the title of this vid should be top 9 NES game facts and top 1 NES facts. only the last fact is actually about the system itself

[@WeinStefan32]

did you know that there was a rare french version of the console with a build-in rgb output (no mod)? That would have been a fact about the actual console while he only talks about the games for it

[@jeffrhodes8465]

I have to say that I never knew how the gun worked until now

[@lordgaming7422]

favorite NES game was jackal could play two players through the whole game was awesome

[@brunodeconinck2]

Just for info, there was TWO waldo games and they both was fairly easy... I think it is the two first games I ever finished! ;-P

[@MrLoomus]

Metroid had multiple endings and came out a year before Castlevania 2.

[@knutove626]

I want to knit with a nintendo machine. And my favourite Nintendo is Wii U. Love it.

[@datunes]

They got the idea for smart TVs from smart phones not a TV NES combo.

[@jimday666]

But did the Castlevania cartridge contain a battery system to store save games or checkpoints? Memorize in the rom? How could the game tell what was your progress, or did you just finish it in one sitting?! I only know of Zelda who made this kind of thing.

[@bangerbangerbro]

I thought the Yoshi thing was really well known.

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

my favourite Nintendo consoles are: NES, SNES, (little bit of the N64) ,GameCube & Wii U

[@cheddarcheetah3267]

no gba or ds?

[@BattleOverride856]

+metalheadcz he said consoles

[@JsRetroVideoGames]

#10 is slightly wrong. To get the best ending, you have to beat it in less than 8 days not 7 days or less. One time I barely got to Dracula's castle in just under 8 days to get the best ending. 2nd ending is 8-16 days. worst ending is 16 or more days.

[@michaelsegal3558]

I knew about the NES Waldo game there was even a game for the SNES called The Great Waldo Search after the original yellow Waldo book with the same name and at one point I had that SNES game not sure if I sold it or not

[@SuperToombs]

wasnt metroid before simons quest, that has multiple endings also.

[@james42519]

sorry knew this stuff. i knew how the light gun worked as a kid. it was kinda obvious to me. also everyone that has nes knows about the 10nes chip and how to disable if they wanted too. i never did but changed the 72 pin connector on mine.

[@yvonnebeasley9448]

Favorite NES game is METROID. It was awesome realizing that it was a lady after beating mother brain. Bought the raspberry pie system so I still play Ll the NES games and I still have the ones original

[@strayf0x683]

Hey, that brief clip Mega Man was not a Nintendo game it was from Mega Man unlimited a fan made title released a couple years back on pc, just sayin

[@ray_getard3600]

It's funny, in mario is missing Luigi can actually ride yoshi, which was on the nes... da fuq

[@barrelroll_poopoopeepee]

I guess sharp had a thing with nintendo since the twin famicom was produced by sharp

[@Sonicgott]

I'm going to say SNES out of all of the Nintendo consoles. I played that thing religiously... until it was stolen.

[@hypernovaD]

Dammit.. that last part reminds me of Steam and its current state regarding the greenlight system and games that are literally digital poop coming on to it.. And its sad that Jim Sterling is the only one I know of trying to fight against it.

+Duke Jaywalker I was looking for this comment. That was the first thing I thought.

[@mikel9292]

Metroid was released BEFORE Castlevania II, and Metroid also have multiple endings. Sorry bro.

[@jettaphi1e]

mikel9292 I think Bubble Bobble was actually the first game with different endings

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

Craig B Checked the exact dates: Simon's Quest was first released Aug. 28 1987, Metroid Aug. 6 1986, and Bubble Bobble Aug. 1986 (date uncertain). Thus, it's very likely Metroid was first!

[@jettaphi1e]

Thane Eternick I only remember someone saying Bubble Bobble was first from an episode of Black Mirror

[@Dr.SamCarterPhD]

Craig B As I can't (or rather don't feel like digging deeper to) find a specific date for the release other than "August," it's inconclusive. Additionally, as Metroid was Aug. 6, I find it likely Metroid was earlier.

[@videogameobsession]

Didn't Metroid come out before Castlevania 2 and offer different endings based on how quickly you beat the Motherbrain?

[@evileye515]

Looked it up castlevania 2 came out in 1987. Metroid was a year earlier with 1986 as the release date. so they glt that fact wrong.

[@Elrinth]

yeah I reacted to that aswell. now 1+ million people gonna be clueless on which game which was first with multiple endings.

[@kypdr]

Yes it was, and yes it did. If you beat Metroid fast enough, Samus would remove her helmet revealing she was female.

[@JOEmega64]

I wouldn't really label that as an "ending," though. The CVII endings offered different narrative conclusions. Despite being variations of the same sequence, the outcomes are quite different, including menacing implications, including Dracula coming back to life.

[@kypdr]

[@ZombiWorkshop]

"Most Nintendo games were pretty darn good"... someone hasn't checked that library. XD Sure they have some brilliant amazing games, but they also had a giant pile of turds to bolster than library.

[@ZombiWorkshop]

Point? I mean, I agree, but no-one was disputing that. :/

[@ZombiWorkshop]

Um. How? I didn't say the Nintendo library was any different to any others. I just disagreed with the "MOST" part of the original statement. I think MOST Nes games were awful, but there were a few golden gems that have outshone their reputation. For every Metroid, Zelda and Mario game, there were 3 terrible sports games, 2 terrible movie-based joypad-fodder, and 1 collection of 52 disasters. :P So nothing nullified... just me being pedantic at worst.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

most nintendo games are trash. a small % (maybe 50 at most out of nearly 800) are good quality and even then 10 of those are masterpieces. that's a terrible % of success.

[@hatch82]

The mobile market sucks. It's not even real gaming. Tapping a screen while the game basically does everything for you isn't fun. Nintendo invented throwing the controller after spending your 3 lives. Games should be fun but also should feel rewarding when you play and beat the game after getting sweaty palms fighting that boss. Mobile games usually don't require skill but man do they want your money. Spend $2 here, $5 there to "boost" your minions.

[@TheZorolord]

They not all bad, its like saying every console or PC game is great.

+Julianus Maximianus _I don't remember the NES, but I consider myself a gaming expert_ Are you referring to the guy who said "I didn't know any of these, and I consider myself a game buff" ? The title of the video says, 10 FACTS you probably didn't know. When he says I don't any of these, it implies he wasn't aware of the FACTS presented in the video. Nowhere does he imply he doesn't remember the NES. I remember my NES, I still even have my NES but I didn't know most of these facts in the video. I'm pretty sure everyone who grew up with the NES do not remember or even knew about all these facts in this video.

+Julianus Maximianus I'm 12 and I own an NES. And I didn't inherit it, I got it from Amazon. I love playing it.

[@ggarzagarcia]

Legend of Zelda was the first game to have a save feature, correct? You forgot that fact

[@mikemac2888]

Just sucked having to take it apart to change the battery. Still, the first game I binged, sundown to sunup.

[@astrosteve]

I really, really wish I knew you could replace the battery when I was a kid. I lost all my saves because the battery died. :/

[@mikemac2888]

+astrosteve - You can't take it with you. :(

[@hatch82]

Download the classics on the WiiU/3DS virtual console. Then you can experience it all over again :)

[@TheDeadskinmask23]

I still have my Zelda with the same battery iin it. It works still

1.00 Megabytes = 1.048,576 Bytes.

[@dertechl6628]

depends

[@nthgth]

John Smith THANK you

[@VBshredder]

What about Metroid with multiple endings? Should that not be the first?

[@jasonspades5628]

No, because you probably kmow about that already. Im not sure, but i know how to find out. Gimme a sec...ill be right back....

[@jasonspades5628]

Hey bro...im having a convo with someone at the moment and i need to know if you know about the two metroid man levels

[@VBshredder]

@@jasonspades5628 metroid man levels? Not ringing a bell. I only played the first Metroid and Super Metroid, but mostly remember the first one

[@jasonspades5628]

So, i just spoke with a friend of mine, and he said it wasn't ringing any bells. He only played the first metroid and super metroid.

[@Vla3d]

I was waiting to hear the fact that the pirated version of the console was called "Dendy" in the ex-USSR countries. Without this fact - your list is pretty useless.

[@demjanickjoe]

metroid was released before simons quest and had time specific endings

[@UnlikeRelic]

Joseph Demjanick this is 100% correct wonder why it wasn't given more credit

[@knight0fdragon]

metroid gave you 5 outfit endings, Simon's quest had 3 different story endings

[@benphillips2947]

Number 9 is semi-bullshit. Nintendo did say it was impossible to include Yoshi in an NES Mario due to hardware limitations, but it turned out to be untrue. (Yoshi is rideable in the NES port of either "Mario's Missing" or "Mario's Time Machine".)

[@LillyRuu]

+Ben Phillips I was thinking that very same thing.

[@Platoqp]

Ben Phillips miyamoto wanted mario to have an animal buddy to ride, but noticed the nes was too weak. when the snes came to be he realised his original idea by creating yoshi, that's how it went

[@Dd-gi5lm]

I'm pretty sure it was due to memory & that Luigi & Yoshi were just one character in terms of programming, but I've not seen much gameplay.... So I could be wrong.

[@natgrant1364]

Yeah there's no hardware limitation. You could just replace the Mario and Yoshi sprites with a single sprite when the two touch.

[@groszak1]

Not to mention Super Mario 3mix (SMB3 hack)

[@RyanSellman1]

Check Emuparadise for Holy Diver. They might have the rom for use in a NES emulator.

[@Xegethra]

+Eugene Johnson They will be for everyone in the future, when the technology is no longer produced and the original hardware is dead (It WILL die, all things die). So the only way to play will be emulators as not everything will get a compilation release. I thought the proper fans of gaming would care about preservation...guess not.
