Mario Kart Wii on a 40+ year old VHS tape recorded with a 40 year VCR

VCR is from 1984. Tape is a little earlier but Idk exactly

The beginning glitchiness made me remember so many times as a kid giving the TV a good smack and making sure the component cables were in all the way.

[@caramelflann]

It feels so weird seeing a game that isn't made before 2002 recorded on a tape but at the same time it's kinda calming because it's on a tape

[@YoungMrBlue]

Play the Disney bumpers and you’ll feel at home Except for me I get an uncomfortable feeling for personal reasons lmao

[@user-mi3hp7wm7k]

Lately I’ve been recording some 360 games and even some of my personal videos on both vhs and Betamax. Unsure if I’ll upload them tho.

Imagine telling someone in 1984 "this will be Mario Kart in 2008". Their mind would be freaking blown to smithereens

[@RWL2012]

they might not have known who Mario was (he was still an arcade game character until 1985) and the first Mario Kart didn't come out until 1992 for the SNES.

A lost recording or a dead civilization. This vhs is all that remains of the quaint video game series "Mario Kart".

Next: record Mario Bros. 1 with a 80 year old film camera and 80+ year old expired 8mm film

[@TheDerpyDolphin]

Nostalgic. I grew up with both MK Wii and crappy VHS recordings to watch movies and old TV specials. I don’t understand why so many people think analog recordings like this are scary

[@CR1MSONACE]

Too much analog horror uses old VHS footage and too many jumpscares instead of actually trying to be scary.

[@nancymeeks9144]

It's because it's kinda blurry and horror thrives off of lese detail

[@TheLivingCatastrophe]

​@@nancymeeks9144it's also why you can make a horror film for far less than a James Bond movie

Looks surprising good for a 40 year old device, it's impressive how well these things hold up

[@DAJTheYouTuber_2007]

this feels like a KZbin video from 2010 and idk why

[@Schnort]

It's probably the clunky title, the fact that the video is exactly as described in the title, there is zero commentary, and the video starts on the opening menu.

[@blueshoes7519]

And the 4:3 resolution

[@ABlueyFan]

The 60fps helps too

It'd be cool to see more modern games in this format

[@jeisonpineda2404]

This format is overused in most modern games (specifically horror games)

[@JustinGamesJG]

@@jeisonpineda2404 outside of horror games that definitely isn't the case, but I was thinking of non-horror modern games

[@MadameSomnambule]

@@JustinGamesJG Yeah, like using the vhs effect to give off a cozy atmosphere rather than an unsettling one. Don't get me wrong, I love analogue horror and the vhs aesthetic is like crack for me so that was part of what got me into it alongside the atmosphere of some of the better analogue horror vids out there, but I also agree that more non-horror games and such should use the vhs aesthetic. Like, you could pull off a game that looks like an 80s saturday morning cartoon on vhs the same way Cuphead pulls off its 1930s film look, filters and all.

[@Kebbo1992]

2005 recordings according to analog horror

[@kovy6447]

Da

[@Ampharosite]

Something about this is oddly cozy. I think it's the familiar game visuals and sounds combined with the similar familiar feel of olden technology. Maybe it's just me?

[@AmethystLeslie]

I was working with my VCR like a year or 2 ago when I was archiving old tapes I had, and it got me nostalgic for that. The quality still looks incredible, and even the framerate is maintained, too.

[@BeAGoodDoga]

Ah, low quality VHS recordings…My childhood.❤❤❤❤

[@Chokey_Gaming]

The VHS tape effect is a symbolism of what distant memories feels like. This is like trying to remember a thing from your childhood, but you can only seem to piece together a distorted image…

[@Equalizer2922]

This looks super satifying to watch for no reason

[@zoinksscoob5077]

Something about this just feels right to be honest

[@HumanArtefacts]

The quality of how brightness looks here, is like seeing a footage of a Gamecube game. I wonder how cool Luigi Mansion would looks in VHS.

[@SykoMuffin]

This is so comforting. Brings me back to my childhood with my fat CRT television and poorly recorded movies.

[@g-starthefirst]

4:30 *dancing AOL yellow stick figure GIF*

[@TheMagicCactus]

Now all you need is some spooky stuff and you've got yourself an anti-piracy video!

[@zzyy1934]

Still trying to make sense of that title

[@stardmg]

I'm just impressed an old VCR could do this without just eating the tape. About a decade ago when I was visiting my dad we tried to play some old recordings of the Pokemon movies off Cartoon Cartoon Fridays on CN, they were probably like 7 or 8 years old by that point. Two VCRs later and all the tapes were destroyed...

[@Blonder_Studio]

this looks amazing, as someone interested in the 1980s this looks sick

[@BenriBea]

can't believe 2008 was 40 years ago

[@alecrutz6979]

the quality combined with the bowser music is oddly eerie. but this is a very fascinating thing to watch

[@user-ie7jg6bn9s]

I am amazed the VCR still works well enough to record this! Creative and cool 🎉

[@penguins64]

When it isn't being a glitchy piece of shit, it's actually looks pretty cool. I dig the aesthetic.

[@bluephoenix7739]

This is fantastic, I'd love to see even newer games like this somehow

[@RobinSorbo]

It was a night like no other… my parents just bought Mario kart Wii. I open up the game and saw Mario WITH RED EYES!!!!

[@boi9685]

literally analog horror. i can imagine waluigi slowly driving through, as the originally laughing thwomps from the N64 version make a comeback. and then it fades to black with a camera on the imprisoned thwomp.

[@lillyy256]

this really gives me nostalgia of when you'd see early builds of games in commercials back in the day, it just has that exact vibe and idk why

[@ongakuwotabeta]

Guys, he’s basically saying that while it looks fake, he acknowledges that it’s real…

[@EpicGPL]

@@ongakuwotabeta VHS filters are often used for what I would call “nostalgia bait” to invoke old memories and vibes. MKWii can qualify as an example of this in some forms. By “on the interesting side” I mean by actually showing the glitchy nature of old VHS tapes rather than filters and also that it does look like analog horror.

[@UmbraVivens94]

@@turbomario i'm a bit skeptical because it's 60fps, i had a VHS and VCR and i used to record occasional gameplay with friends, but i only am retrospectively assuming VHS wasn't capable of 60fps because they were made for film

That VCR is in much better condition than the one my family had back in the late 80s-early 90s. Every time we watched old boxing tapes, it would not play properly and there was a part where the commentators were talking at chipmunk speed.
