Drunk With Nintendo Power: Volume 22, March 1991, Metal Storm - SNESdrunk

[@MichaelDBaker]

I love this series. I have scans of all of the old issues but it's fun to casually watch these with your commentary.

[@fathersongaming9765]

This is becoming my favorite gaming channel. I've been going through a lot of your older stuff and it is all great.

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks for watching

[@Sparkbomber]

No kidding. Might differ on opinions for some things, but mainly I dig the channel. Some rare exceptions do apply.

[@parker_aug2]

I loved receiving Nintendo Power every month as a kid, but I can see how the internet killed the magazine industry. Strangely, instead I am now watching a video over the internet of someone reading a magazine, lol.

[@GadGades]

I still see magazines on stands. Guess gaming was just ahead of it. And that is a strange observation.

[@ReinEngel]

You give some of the best, no bullshit, informative and entertaining reviews on the interwebs. I've been exposed to at least a dozen great games thanks to your videos. I'm currently playing through Dragon View, a game I had no idea existed, and I'm LOVING it. Thank you, sir.

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks for watching

[@xMrDeath]

Great channel! The look back at the Nintendo Power issues is awesome. Keep up the great work!

[@SNESdrunk]

Thank you for watching

[@EvilPichu]

Really loving this series on your channel and the doggo outros :) thank you very much!!

[@JaKeW138]

3:39 Dan "get in the van" Schneider

[@gabemewell3643]

It's crazy how close Mother 1 was to localization. It's why in Earthbound Beginnings it's just simply called Earthbound at the title screen.

[@ekstrajohn]

Yep, those were the days. When we (like that ninja gaiden guy) did speedruns just so we could boast to TEN people, namely whoever was in the room. In Serbia, we had "clubs" (ie someone's garage) where you could play SNES or Sega at an hourly rate, so kids would congregate and spontaneous speedrun tournaments would ensue. The prize was being cool.

[@ValmirSilvino]

Great video. Back in the day when Internet wasn't a thing, this kind of info was gold. I remember that some of my instructions books were poorly translated into Portuguese. That sucked. Congrats, man.

[@themrnails]

I beat Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 & 3 and ONLY recorded the cinematic story's on VHS. I still have that tape! Thanks for the video!

[@Bargadiel]

Bought this issue at a store for $6, framing it! Love Metal Storm

[@settingbros]

Love these videos! Keep them coming!

[@blackcondor208]

Metal Storm AND GI Joe??? Fuck yes!

[@dragiboy2379]

It was the best day of the month to receive your nintendo power back then! I was 10! I'll always remember the FFII (4) cover, with the flying chocobo ❤

[@willmistretta]

Okay, is that a Church of the Subgenius reference in Howard and Nester? Bob would approve.

[@SNESdrunk]

Whoa, didn't catch that, nice one

[@chrisdorn6418]

Those were the best memories of my life. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

[@koopakape]

What an issue!! Damn, NP was good the whole way through but I always felt like starting around the late 90s they just weren't quite as great or thorough nor had quite as much personality as the earlier-mid 90s issues my older bro got. But now I'm seeing the late 80s / super early 90s issues were even better still. What a mag. I really wish something like this could still exist today, even if there's no point. Also MM3 was my first favorite game too and is still one of my faves, great taste.

[@PartTimeJedi]

Awesome issue!

[@obsidianchao]

Hey SNESDrunk, I'm absolutely loving this series. I know it's likely less your domain, but would you ever be interested in doing issues from 2002-2005 or so? I feel like the GBA and GameCube era was NP's last great time period, and in particular, feel they really hit their stride there. The DS era became more professional and lost their... aloofness, I think. I lost my NP collection about five years ago and still miss it. Thanks for this!

[@SNESdrunk]

Yeah I would love to go over those, but I don't own any yet

[@thegamingphile]

Amazing episode!!!

[@thejackal007]

When do the puppies get a video?

[@ninjamaster3453]

nice episode. only wish it was slower and longer.

[@MrAdi113]

he was on a video speedrun Lol...

[@NESADDICT]

Ninja Master check out my Nintendo power retro rewind episodes. There's only 2 so far but it's pretty in depth with close up shots of the magazine and it's about 12 minutes.

[@parker_aug2]

I personally prefer watch KZbin videos that are 5-10 min long. Rarely will I click on anything over 12 min but to each their own. =)

[@AlexEinherjar]

You could be missing out great content on hobbies and other stuff that interest you. Maybe you're too busy with school, work or life, but if you stop watching meme crap that adds nothing to your life perhaps you could stomach longer videos. I'm saying this, because last year I was just like you, longer videos were a big no-no for me.

[@mikeperry7335]

AlexEinherjar someone loves smelling his own farts

[@kromokromo7136]

Great video!!

[@jasonwalker7729]

Got to love the 90s

[@zolphar]

More drunk with power plz

[@Real_The_Goof]

wow... the feels.. I miss my youth..

[@DanHoger]

I subscribed to Nintendo Power for several years. Sadly I moved around a lot, and lost them at one point. More tragic than that is that I lost my EarthBound player's guide. 😭

[@whosaidthat84]

Call me insane, but I'm starting to think the dogs are the ones editing the video

[@SNESdrunk]

That bad, huh?

[@whosaidthat84]

SNES drunk no, that good!!!

[@SNESdrunk]

I knew having Clyde complete his Associate's degree in video editing would pay off one day

[@whosaidthat84]

SNES drunk that is until he overthrows you and takes over the channel

[@Seegtease]

I love the fact that you copied down that Megaman chart. I would have done that exact same thing as a child. I was pretty crazy. One time, I was making character stat sheets for every enemy in Earthbound, including my 10-year-old-self's best estimate at the drop rate for items. I even had my grandma take my template to work with her and make a bunch of copies for me to fill out. What the hell, I had so much free time then.

[@TheMrMaynard]

Wow, first issue you had?! Same first issue my Brother and I had too! Small world..

[@AlexEinherjar]

Is it possible to find a scan of this magazine? At least from this technical part on the NES and GameBoy. I don't live in the US, so buying it from eBay would be a little risky.

[@SNESdrunk]

Here's the scans of that specific part imgur.com/a/5V08F

[@AlexEinherjar]

SNES drunk Badass. Thank you man

[@Mordaedil]

Man, those were the days.

[@gungadunga9064]

Wasnt expecting to see Dan " Get in the van" Schneider here. HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

[@TheCommanderTitan]

Hey man! i actually just snagged this issue of nintendo power at an old games collection store, its currently in a sleeve in the back of my display case with my copy of metal storm, so i dont really want to pull it out and fiddle through it, so i will say that your video is an amazing analysis of the issue! thanks for taking the time to make these! i have a few questions for you thought... -if this issue came with the battletoads poster, do you recall which one came with metal storm poster? -did you ever find out what happened to the figure of the M-308 gunner that they use throughout the issue? thanks again!

[@matthew-dq8vk]

Dr.Capperclawed Who cares? Sperg.

[@chriskoschik391]

Final Fight was actually slated to be named Street Fighter before they chose to make a distinction!

[@Seiko180]

What a great magazine! here in South America we have the Club Nintendo magazine, it's great, but too bad it was realized at the ends of 1992 when the SNES was already out, so, they didn't talked too much about NES games, only about the populars like Super Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Battletoads, so...

[@cornhustlah]

Oof that Schneider reference 👀

[@jsnug42]

There's far more you can do with the 2nd controller in Mega Man 3, each button and direction has certain effects, like locking animations, slow down gameplay, lock only enemies, lock only Mega Man, etc.

[@bambamrubble9165]

Are you out of Nintendo powers? Would really like to see more of these!

[@NESADDICT]

I just used this exact magazine to help beat Metal Storm. I do a Nintendo power review too called retro rewind. It's pretty much stolen from NESComplex, with his permission of course.

[@sneeze7652]

Love the dogs!

[@stashallemagne4488]

nice video rounded up with your 'mascots'

[@MixMasterLar]

NES Play Action Football was among my first 8 or so games I ever played. I think it still holds up. But Wtf Is Kickle Cubicle?

[@timgarrison2657]

pls keep doing nintendo powers.

[@7deadlypins]

this channel is almost awesome

[@TheGabygab159]

More footage of the dogs plz

[@Cooltycho]

like travellin back in time

[@edospeaks5123]

That is so cool

[@ColinfromCanada]

Excellent dog tax!

[@lilly293]

Ok i need a camera lol😂😂

[@lazarus30001]

You just don't see effort like that in magazines anymore.

[@therootman3487]

Sears FTW

[@DandalftheAsian]

CLASSIFED INFORMACHAN :D

[@MrAdi113]

good times..fond memories...priceless !!

[@funkmasta7387]

You should review the super star wars games next

[@zebare726]

The only nintendo magasines that i have. Is Club nintendo during the 6 gen era. Nintendo is really good at making there magasine appealing to read.

[@Smackosynthesis]

Lmao that rap

[@saskatoonguy]

Is this a re-up or do I just watch too many people review NP?? I know I heard somebody wonder where that Metal Storm toy is...

[@SNESdrunk]

It was an early upload on my Patreon page. But yeah thought in particular is not exactly original

[@saskatoonguy]

Damn, I need to go outside... Thanks for the videos brother, keep up the good work.

[@jhonviel7381]

lol you are into graphs as well huh?

[@Vanskynyrd]

Hello!

[@lilly293]

Hey Alex its me Lilly! Your Girlfriends niece!

[@SNESdrunk]

Hi Lilly, I hope you had a good day

[@gmiku9533]

nice wolf :3

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks, he's more of a coyote

[@williamprice5079]

Metal Storm made me think of Section Z. Can you do Section Z?

[@RetroClash95]

Those Nintendo rap bars are still 🔥🔥🔥💯💯👌 compared to a lot of the junk out today. #englandismycity

[@theycallmejojo6090]

how the fuck did Nes Play action football got a nomination? I believe tecmo bowl was out during the time and that game shits on Play Action football by a mile

[@hELLLcs]

How old where you when you did the copy of the chart in your notebook? I'm suprised at how good the writing is to be honest. Almost looks not true as a story :/

[@SNESdrunk]

In 1991 I would've been 9

[@hELLLcs]

I think I was possibly retarded at the same age haha. At least I don't remember writing stuff like this... I'm just no sure anymore. Oh well! Good video as always and thanks for the response!

[@SNESdrunk]

I was just copying the magazine word for word, some words I got wrong or out of order

[@mrhygiene]

Final Fight was originally going to be the sequel to the original Street Fighter, before they changed it. Everyone knows that.

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks for the "Everyone knows that," that's a tremendous help

[@remixtheidiot5771]

MrHygiene everyone?

[@cellomarl6037]

It's a secret to everybody.

[@Oedlander]

They thought Castlevania The Adventure was the best GB game!? Were they on drugs or something?

[@spindriftprime]

dudically cruel

[@duhmez]

BattleTOADS? More like Battle CHODES!

[@ciabattalebeau8048]

Liked the video, but I do not like dogs...
