Nintendo Power Time Machine Issue #3 | Track & Field II | NES Magazine Review 2

[@retroislandboy9708]

PLEASE BRING BACK.....AND CONTINUE WITH..... NINTENDO POWER TIME MACHINE !!!!!!!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much for watching. I'm working on the script for the next one right now. I hope to get a lot done next week when I'm off and my wife is working :)

[@brytonrobinson]

Geez does this series bring back memories. I'm not that old (almost 18) but I've been getting Nintendo Power since I was five years old. Puts a smile on my face watching these videos. Thank you!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much for watching and saying such kind words. I truly appreciate it. Sorry I'm just getting back to you. Life has been quite unpredictable lately.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my videos and that I was able to send you back in time. Yay!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for the support :) I will try... I wish I had the first 50 issues done. It would be pretty cool to watch them in succession and see gaming history unfold.

[@NESComplex]

Thanks, bro. I don't know how, but this episode is longer, too. Plus I actually cut out a few segments that were making the video drag a little.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much. I'm trying to do them... one by one. There are so many other ideas I want to record and I have so little time. I'll try to get them all eventually.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

This is a great effort to preserve our gaming heritage. For those old enough to remember, Nintendo Power was the most important source for gaming news back then, and each page seemed to always be filled with information, images...pure wonder. I'm going to miss Nintendo Power, but I am content in knowing that through efforts like this, the magazine will never truly be forgotten.

[@NESComplex]

Thanks James. I don't know how I missed your comment. I'm so glad you said this episode was "pure nostalgia" because I'm trying so hard to create that feeling in this series... It's nice to know that it's working :) Can't wait for another chocolatey batch of easter eggs.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for understanding about the delay between videos. It really is time-consuming to edit the way that I do, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I really want make videos I'm proud of.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for watching and saying such kind words about this video. It really means a lot to me. Sometimes I start to wonder if these videos are having the desired effect. Then I get an awesome comment like yours and I'm overjoyed that I could bring out the nostalgia. Sorry about the water heater explosion :) Thanks also for noticing the Saved By The Bell reference. No one else has said a word about it.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for watching. It seems that there's a pretty big retro community in Australia. Am I right? I see a lot of comments and subscribers from down under. Thanks again!

[@NESComplex]

I can't wait for the next episode either. I wish I could take a few days off and plow through these videos. I love reliving my childhood through NP.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad I could send you back to 1988 for a bit (even if you weren't there the first time lol. The next episode will be 1989...

[@ThreeBitsShort]

You're welcome! I look forward to those, gotta get you a weekly tv show! You're tapping in to the nostalgia vibe that I look for in a KZbin channel, lotta replay value in your videos as well. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@NESComplex]

Holy KZbinrs Batman! That's quite a crowd of amazing guys! It's hard to believe you mentioned me in the same sentence. I am humbled. I will keep trying to make videos that you'll enjoy. It is so rewarding to time travel back into the 80s and 90s and see what gaming was like..

[@NESComplex]

Thank you! I didn't see much on YT about Nintendo Power and I love the mag, so I thought it would be unique for the retro gaming community. As far as editing goes... OCD perfectionism is a blessing and a curse! lol. I'm glad you appreciate it :)

[@blizzofozz]

Dang how did I miss this one? I think this episode makes me laugh the most. Keep up the good work!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you! Now if only I could get you to feel nostalgia for a time before your time. That would be really cool!

[@NESComplex]

Dude you have the most amazing comments. You time index everything and have such thoughtful things to say. I really appreciate you, bro. We'll have to Skype again soon.

[@NESComplex]

It's from Final Fantasy 1... The Title Theme. I love to use music that people recognize. It adds an extra level of nostalgia. Thanks for watching :)

[@NESComplex]

Wow! Thank you! I enjoy them quite a bit, too. I wish my life wasn't so busy all the time. I am such a perfectionist. I put ridiculous amounts of time into each episode. I hope to have another one out in a month or so... i have a few other projects to finish up first.

[@Zoidberg312]

Just subscribed. Thank you so much for these. NP was a big part of my childhood. An issue in my mailbox always made for a great day! So sad to see it go by the wayside this past December, but rest assured I scooped up the final issue. Thank you, again! Great work, and I look forward to more. (My personal favorite was the Link to the Past issue...can't wait)

[@TheAJohnPerez]

Great job has always. I love this part of your channel you make each issue so awesome. Can't wait to watch the next one.

[@wwar5237]

I know right. I wish he would continue this series

[@NESComplex]

I totally agree. and to be perfectly honest there are times when pouring over these magazines is more enjoyable than playing the games. :O Nintendo Power drips with nostalgia in a way that can't be matched.

[@NESComplex]

Thanks. I don't mind not getting paid, but I wish I had the free time needed to do them on a regular basis. It's really fun, but life pulls in so many ways. I just wrote the script for issue #4 and I'm gonna do #5 as well. I have like 9 episodes of Is It Fun and I need to bring NPTM up to speed. Thanks for your support, bro.

[@NESComplex]

I'm still addicted. I enjoy writing these episodes because the nostalgia is thick.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you for your kindness. and for watching, commenting, and subscribing. My only goal is to make something that I'm proud of and that makes people feel nostalgic about classic gaming... and maybe smile a little.

[@JosephDillman]

This is so great! This is history! A perfect video archive. Thank you!

[@hektorlinko]

Wow Wow Wow! This channel is WHY I'm into this hobby all the way. This episode is great. I can only imagine what the next show is going to be like. I must say, you are my favorite KZbinr here. You are so awesome in what you do. I do have fond memories of Track and Field 2 with the exception of the same things you mentioned. Brings back memories of Junior High with all the guys at lunch time talking about secrets and rumors and trading games. Good times.. good times... hell yeah! : )

[@NESComplex]

Thank you again Hek. You always have the most encouraging things to say... it really energizes me and reminds me of why I started KZbin! Any new videos in the works, man?

[@NESComplex]

You are so welcome... Your response is THE reason I love this series. Thanks for letting me know.

[@spooieVAULT]

This is the best video I've seen on youtube in a long time. Makes me want to dig out my old issues from the basement (I think that is where they are)... though, they're probably, sadly, moldy by now. --Damn you, water tank explosion of 2005! Great selection of game music for this video. I can instantly hum them all! And Bonus points for "Lisa?"

[@NESComplex]

I can't wait to do that episode, either. I have a few loose ends to tie up first though.

[@NESComplex]

I'm working on it... I promise. I have too many plans and too little time. Eventually NPTM and Is It Fun will be the only videos I really make, but for now I've got a few plans :).

[@NESComplex]

I'm glad you watched too. Thank you.

[@NESComplex]

I have too many shows... I spread myself too thin. I'll start working on one soon. Thanks for reminding me :)

[@NESComplex]

Thank you. That is so kind of you to say!

[@CGArtMadeEasy]

I've just discovered your channel today, and I've been marathon watching/listening to your work. Fantastic stuff! you do a great job of reminding me of these good old days of gaming. Subscribed!

[@NESComplex]

I'm gonna go in order. I just finished scripts for #4 and 5. Gonna film them tomorrow. So they'll be up in the next few weeks.

[@lpfan091989]

Great video NESComplex. I really like your editing work here. Keep up the great work. I also enjoyed the cover art project video.

[@viewtifuljoe99]

Just wanted to say that during this episode my headset which could only play out one side for the past week miraculously fixed themselves as I watched this video. So I guess thanks for fixing my headset!

[@jmyers240]

These are great episodes. I can't wait to see more. Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories!

[@NESComplex]

I think nearly everything has been done, but you can do whatever you want... just put a slightly different spin on it and be yourself. Thanks for watching.

[@supersnappahead]

Great episode, mate. Seriously, you're doing fantastic work. Retroware needs to give you a call.

[@NESComplex]

I actually don't have any EGM issues, but I can't wait to get to some of the next issues of NP. I wish I had more time.

[@SOGCollection]

I wish there was more quality content like this on youtube. Great show my friend. I really enjoyed it. L1 Games told told me about your channel and, after watching this video, I subbed. :D

[@NESComplex]

Never thought about splitting them... I just opted for cutting out the fluff.

[@Deathgaze1]

Just wanted to say NEScomplex, that your channel is good as they come. Watched every episode. cannot wait for the next. I came from the game chasers :)

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much. It's very encouraging.

[@Wyrdwad]

Just discovered your channel a couple days ago. Just watched all your Nintendo Power Time Machine videos now. Just subscribed. ;) Good show, man. You made me feel like a kid again.

[@NESComplex]

So funny you say that. I just recorded episodes 4 and 5 and in issue 5 there was a letter from a teacher about how kids learned problem solving from NES games. I actually talk a bit about it, too. lol.

[@BloodyEyeGamer]

Fantastic episode, I loved it. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Cheers!

[@NESComplex]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@NESComplex]

Yeah. Fun Club News. Episode zero discusses that newsletter. I have a few issues, but the first 3 sell for ridiculous amounts.

[@UKaToNeN]

DiGG`n the concept man, always wondered what I had missed out on in the back issues....LoL, thanks for the trip down mem`ry lane it`s much appreciated!!!

[@drunkendevil]

Great stuff. Can’t wait for the next 282 magazine reviews

[@SOGCollection]

Well all I have to say to that is well done. If those are your goals then mission accomplished. :D I really enjoy the retro gaming scene as well. I actually prefer retro over current gen games most of the time. I shared your channel with some of my friends so hopefully that will help you grow a little more. I appreciate your work and will keep watching your videos in the future, showing my support, and will help you anyway I can.

[@NESComplex]

I thought about skipping ahead to do it... honestly I have no idea what will happen. If I don't pick up the pace I'll be lucky if I get to issue 50!

[@gutsman004]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You do a great job on making them informative and entertaining.

[@excalibunny]

These Nintendo Power episodes are amazing. Reminds me of being a kid again. MORE PLEASE :)

[@arashimiyazawa8165]

I had an NES Advantage, but remember saving up for months to buy the NES Dominator, which was basically the same thing but wireless!

[@foolio1990]

I've been trying to thank of ideas for videos, and reviewing Nintendo Power Magazines. Brilliant! I need to think of something people haven't done.

[@NESComplex]

Well thanks for subbing. I recorded episodes 4 & 5 yesterday. Issue 4 is my next upload next weekend.

[@NESComplex]

Some one else metioned that, too. I'd be curious to see that. Also the story in the booklet is different than the one in NP.

[@NESComplex]

I think I have that CYOA book... was it called "Double Trouble" or something? Mario's face is looking in multiple directions or something? I have quite a few CYOA books. They were the video games of reading when I was a kid.

[@n0veD]

Woah the power pad ad takes me back. A friend of mine had a power pad when I was young, I can remember working up a sweat running on the bloody while my pal smugly used his hands instead.

[@DJGUNDAM]

one of my favorite people on here finally got the new episode up! keepit up bro! i will be sure to post this on facebook1

[@NESComplex]

Haha... I appreciate your kindness. I doubt Retroware needs any more shows like mine. They seem to be doing quite well...

[@PsychoNabnut]

man my childhood was all about the N64. just seeing you passion for the NES, makes me want to go flick the switch on my N64! great video

[@NESComplex]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@nicholaswest1216]

Your channel is great! Keep em coming!

[@NESComplex]

Thank you Nicholas! I’m plugging away at it!

[@DanH-VKern]

31yr old Aussie fan!! Keep up the good work mate! love the videos

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

This is pretty spectacular. I subscribed and eagerly await your next video!

[@NESComplex]

Me either. The next episode it gonna be really fun!

[@NESComplex]

No problem, my friend

[@TBoneTony]

I love the way how you appreciate magazines as time capsules. I have recently had to say goodbye to Nintendo Gamer that was a UK mag. I also have got Nintendo Gamer the Australian mag that went out of print in 2003 and it was unrelated to the UK mag that was called NGC mag at the time. The UK one was formally Super Play and then went onto being N64 mag, then NGC mag and then NGamer and finally Nintendo Gamer that was meant to be for the WiiU until the publisher pulled their pin.

[@pitt41]

great episode as always keep uploading the great vids

[@jamescboyd]

I actually looked it up on Amazon after I commented and added the one I had to my wish list. Double Trouble was the first of the Nintendo Adventure Books series. I had #3 - Monster Mix Up. My parents didn't buy many video games for me until I was in Jr. High. Maybe that's why I loved the CYOA's so much. My favorite was Daredevil Park about a kid who won a trip to a theme park preview. I remember you could die by electricution at the beginning if you chose to watch TV while you took a bath.

[@javieriba77]

What a great video! I totally forgot about Captain N, I loved it as a kid... The only thing I don't like is having to wait for the next issue; with this quality of editing is going to take some time... :-( Thank You!!! (ps: the frog game may have a weird story, but it is really fun)

[@NESComplex]

Thank you so much for the compliment!

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

Miyamoto is a doctor who saved the video game industry.

[@NESComplex]

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

[@NESComplex]

Wow! I don't know what else to say. I don't think anyone can say a higher compliment! I'm humbled and I'll try to write up some more real soon.

[@Kainmac84]

I remember having the book that explains the story of Blaster Master. Was awesome.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you. I never know how jokes will come across to others... but I figure that if I'm mildly amused then others might be as well. Thanks.

[@Wizil808]

Great stuff as always Mr Complex..

[@NESComplex]

Thank you! I love my job, too. The kids are great :)

[@ProjectReality64]

great job, always excited to see a new video from you

[@NESComplex]

I actually had to cut stuff out of this one. There was a lot of material... too much.

[@NESComplex]

I don't think you'd need to win the lottery, I sure didn't. But they are starting to climb in price!

[@jamescboyd]

Captain N was so weird, but I liked it. I used to love that Mario cartoon. My parents didn't buy me video games until I was in Jr. High and the N64 came out (I got a SNES), so I loved anything that was related to games at all. I used to have a choose your own adventure type Mario puzzle novel that I consumed. Would love to get my hands on one of those again.

[@PiercedJedi]

love the channel man, completely addicted!

[@spooieVAULT]

Don't worry... the water heater destroyed all my college art stuff as well... but I think the magazines and VHS tapes are more important! Good stuff these videos. I think I've laughed and smiled more for this video than probably any other video I've seen in recent memory. And it's funny because it is the same kind of stuff I would be thinking myself! Keep it up! It's funny too, how as a kid I'd be fixated on something from NP that today, as an adult, I would probably never notice.

[@TheCompletionist]

Unfortunately my first issue of nintendo power was the final fantasy players guide, so I missed out on quite a few nintnedo powers until my subscription started to kick in, but its good to see some of the content these magazines had especially on the older issues I missed out on as a child.

[@DDMajin]

you always seem super excited in your videos. i really like that :)

[@note2owns]

What memories!! Man I miss the 80s when life was so much more simpler.

[@NESComplex]

You know I can never tell what jokes people will find funny, but I just throw it all out there and hope for the best. I'm glad I could assist you in making milk come out your nose.

[@NESComplex]

Thank you!
