Super Momotaro Dentetsu. It’s a play on words from Densetsu from before. Densetsu means legend. Dentetsu means electric railway.

[@JohnRiggs]

AHH!!That makes so much more sense.

[@Catastrophic-hk3mh]

I love Backgammon one day I hope to make the pros and play in the Texas Open

[@shingotink5062]

If we were In the same place I don't think I would want to avoid "The Blue Guy". He seems like such a a nice cool dude.

[@FirstCityRecords]

Hey John Aaron here from first city records I got your 1UP CARDS in the mail today. They are great! Thanks for the continued education and entertainment.

[@erneststackhouse1133]

I had a friend from Japan & his little brother had tons of Doraemon stuff in his room. Adding Nuts & Milk for the NES to my collection here in the future that game looks like fun! I opened up & found an original NES game with the converter inside, so now I can just slide in a Famicom game into that cartridge to play on my NES!!! Need to get Adventure Island 4 too!! Mind Blown!

[@duhdeedee]

That Wataru game drives me nuts just looking at it - you fight in a side-view and it still prints the damage numbers like an rpg?! Btw, it's pretty funny how NEC did everything imaginable to hide the anime roots of Keith Courage and other games.

[@lmoore3rd]

I did have the pleasure to play Binary Land, Nuts & Milk, and Pooyan in the early 90's on the NES because I had friends from Taiwan next door and they had bootleg Famicom multi-carts. 😆

[@adam1984pl]

The same in Poland,we got pirated Famicom,with built-in multicart.

[@BlUsKrEEm]

Oh man, I would by an Adventure Island Collection in a heart beat! I still break out the Gameboy games from time to time. Solid series!

[@playamaine100]

Adventure Island was fantastic

[@StewedEarth]

Rub the 2 penguins together enough times in Binary Land and a small baby penguin will appear. Nice little easter egg.

[@daviddonnell2153]

This is not related to Hudson but I played Castlevania on NES for the first time and it was making me so mad. Before you get to the first boss or the spider clawing lady, whoever thought it was cool to add enemies as bats coming at you while trying to jump on blocks is so stupid. I probably died like 30 times before getting to the first boss

[@ErikRosenquist-c3n]

John, this is timeless. Brother, these games are fantastic.

[@DiabolikalRA]

I'm from south Africa. Most of these titles we got because we got the Famicom clones not nes clones. Our biggest clone console was called the Golden China Loved that thing. It looked identical to the Famicom.

[@JohnRiggs]

ooh, I need to do a video on collecting for South Africa. I loved that bubble gum otees cereal

[@zacholdgames]

Great video John! some really cool games here.

[@darktetsuya]

I learned elsewhere on youtube adventure island 4 was the famicom's final game! heard it was really good so Japan definitely got the better deal, compared to wario's woods on NES here in the states. likely the best one of hudson's lineup, too.

[@crazedlink]

All Mahjong is, is a form of Rummy. If you know how to play or get the concept of Rummy, you should be able to play Mahjong.

[@JohnRiggs]

good way to look at it.

[@robert5494]

Been a avid collector of Hudson Games, love them. Got a KInhank Mini PC system for Xmas and the Hudson Games from japan are great and have been having a great time playing them. Great video!

[@masterroshi9942]

I love Adventure Island games i wish we got that 4th one for the nes too. Keep up the good work John

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

I get Hudson Soft and Sunsoft mixed up I seen a fan made cover art for nuts and milk and yes it's a back box so does binary land (thanks be to God) The black box is my all time favorite style of video game cover art If was make NES video game it would be in the style of black box games

[@PeaceArt1]

"Just Mahjong?" The greatest game of all time, is "just" Mahjong. But for real, I don't understand how it is really that popular. I've been living in Japan for the last 15+ years and can't understand how there are so many mahjong cafe/shops here.

[@42calking53]

Dang it John Riggs I never knew I needed a book on nostalgic breakfast cereals 😂😂I literally talked another Xenials ear off in the check out line the other day about the cereal industry being a dying industry and it makes me sad and the lady at the lane next to is smiled got involved in this convo and agreed that kids today truly ruining alot of good stiff of our lives and they suck for this😂😂😂

[@spoonshiro]

Some surprisingly fun Japan-only games! Adventure Island 4 is a gem; shame it's so hard to find these days.

[@cliffjumper1984]

I need to play that Keith courage game for famicom.

[@RobsRetroGaming]

Hudson Soft is SO underrated. It made some real bangers for the NES!

[@richfutrell753]

You forgot Championship Lode Runner and Family Basic! For some weird reason, I own both of those CIB.

[@JohnRiggs]

there was another momotaro game, too.

[@franciscocampos8857]

Adventure Island IV and Super Adventure Island II are masterpieces, such enjoyable games

[@matts9382]

Always good to find another Blue Meanie fan!

[@Sinn0100]

I will now call it The United of Kingdom. Merry Christmas Mr. Riggs and I hope you have a blast this New Year's Eve! Addendum- Whoa! Kieth Courage in Alpha Zones was on the Famicom?! Now, I have to play that game.

[@y.bowcat7782]

Adventure Island IV is fantastic, if you like NES games it's a must play

[@JohnRiggs]

CLICK kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCyYXiNgLeMiKM I also looked at Konami games from Japan that we never got

[@Junishin]

@JohnRiggs Takahashi Meijin was a Video game celebrity. He worked at Hudson soft. He could hit the controller 16 in a sec and kids looked up to him for gaming advice. They took adventure island and reskinned it to capitilize on his celebrity statues. The other 3 were developed in house with better balance and dificulty. Bug te honey is a spin off based off the TV show the character stared in. He is still around the net telling old stories of the Famicom glory days. Super nice man. When I was a kid we hd his little hudson produced contoller like device to time how many times you could hit the button in a sec.

[@dentstowel4230]

So it’s the end of the year and I see you have 193k subscribers compared to Konami’s 144k. Did you beat Konami, dude?!

[@JohnRiggs]

Konami of Japan - they still have over 400k subs

[@dentstowel4230]

@@JohnRiggs still beat USA Konami. I’ll count this as a win.

[@ylwbrcboi]

Regardless what anyone says . I absolutely played Adventure island 4 as a kid I have such clear memories of it

[@SonofSethoitae]

I'm sure there were bootlegs available in various regions.

[@ylwbrcboi]

This was back in the 80s-90s when the game was new . I absolutely played it a bunch and remember it for being different and open world

[@MotherKojiro]

That lightning bolt in Challenger is RIGHT out of Milon's Secret Castle... or probably the other way around. I really liked the Doraemon game, just because of how weird it is, especially the final stretch of the last stage; the RPG was decent, too, though I think that was made by Epoch. Adventure Island 4 is great, too; just played through that last week with the patch that switches Tina and Master Higgins... or Takahashi Meijin, I guess I should call him.

[@etay2k]

I played some of the early ones on multi game carts on the famiclones.

[@Nick_Leo777]

Milk from nuts, that's only normal🍼

[@NinjaPhooka]

True dat. 🥥🥒💦🍆💀

[@shigshug8581]

Nuts and Milk is a popular game in those bootlegged 1000 in 1 cartridges.

[@retrojoe85]

Ninja Hattori-kun was a hugely popular anime here in Italy (which it was translated to "Nino, my Ninja friend" in its italian equivalent), and we even got the NES...ops, the Famicom game, but in pirate cartridges exclusively made for the NES knock offs, the Famiclones! Even back in the day it was relentlessly difficult to play, but today feels even tougher to play. C'mon Hudson Soft, that was...a game made for kids?! If these kids could have been the sons of the X-Men, it could understand what kind of "kids" they were intending: superhero kids, the sons of Super Sentai japanese parents. Practically, the game is so stupidly hard at the point that it sucks. End of story. Even the cartridge is in sh*t colour: brown. Wow, they really choose the right one to describe that mess of a game.

[@lion-orichie398]

Nuts N Milk was available on those bootleg compilation games

[@jeffb.6642]

Nuts and Milk? Sounds like it should be in the "NSFW" genre.

[@JohnRiggs]

they definitely have some NSFW hacks

[@jamesmoss3424]

Adventure Island 4 should have been released in the USA in the first place. 😀👍🎮

[@NateTheGnat]

My favorite nes hudson game is xexyz.

[@spindoctor6385]

Am I making up false memories or was there a backgammon game on the Atari? Can anyone confirm or deny? I grew up playing back gammon. I am in Australia and in Melbourne there was (still is) a large Greek community, it is a very popular gambling game among them. I don't know of it originated there though.

[@leefischer5814]

Yes, backgammon on the atari 2600/VCS I believe was a compilation cartridge, but it indeed is real. And those Gyros in Melbourne are frickin awesome.

[@spindoctor6385]

@@leefischer5814 Thanks mate, and yes nothing like a gyro at 1am after a few beers at the local pub.
