The World’s BIGGEST Nintendo Game

[@Leahi84]

Congrats on getting the braces off!!

[@pojr]

Thank you!

[@Alex_Valentine]

I had mine for 4 and a half years. I feel your pain.

[@arrestedeffort]

Was just about to say the same thing! Congrats, pojr!

[@NaoPb]

​@@pojr just don't stop smiling. I always liked the friendly smile in the beginning.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

​@@pojryes mate. That smile is iconic and your signature. Best wishes to you

[@NaoPb]

Don't forget that Metal Slader Glory was a Japanese only release and that visual novels were and still are immensely popular over there. The size of the game and all the graphics combined with the text are quite impressive for an NES game. Just not what some of us might be used to.

[@MaxOakland]

2:06 Nintendo did *not* purposely design the NES & Famicom to support enhancement chips. Nintendo were taken by surprise when enhancement chips were the future. They thought the way forward was the Famicom Disk System

[@holdingpattern245]

There actually is hardware in there that facilitates mappers, but you're correct that they were taken by surprise when it turned out to be the future.

[@henke37]

A quick check on the cartridge pinouts shows that the only obvious expansion pins are nametable/vram control (debatable), audio mixing (famicom only) and expansion port passthru (unused, nes exclusive).

[@KoopaMedia64]

The Famicom Disk System itself is its own mapper. The RAM adapter has RAM chips, a 2C33 mapper chip and the game data loads from floppy disks. The FDS was only possible because the Famicom (NES) was readily capable of cartridge mapper chips.

[@MaxOakland]

Yeah but that doesn’t mean Nintendo designed the system to support that From what I’ve read, they designed the system the way they did to reduce costs on the hardware and it turned out to be great for mappers

[@starleaf-luna]

0:49 , I know he smiles in every video, but it just looks like he's happy to finally have gotten the braces off hahaha

[@pojr]

Indeed lol. But it's not over, because I still have to wear the retainer.

[@Ryowhosakazaki]

​@@pojrThat smile looks so good.

[@AmyStrikesBack]

Kirby's adventure is so powerfull the remake had to REMOVE the spinning Tower part because aparently the GBA could not handle that

[@joeychipman5352]

Honestly, I prefer Kirby's Adventure over its GBA remake (though I'd be surprised the GBA couldn't handle the towers). Sure, the remake runs better, but I prefer how the NES graphics look (which I'd guess is part of the reason the game is so big), and I prefer how the NES game used Meta Knight. The GBA version left the ambushes but ditched the times Meta Knight tossed lollipops into levels, making him seem more villainous.

[@pojr]

I didn't even realize they removed it from the GBA version. Wow lol.

[@mattb6522]

Yeah, I remember Nightmare in Dream Land removed the rotating tower. I never understood why. The GBA could have easily handled it even if they used the strength of the GBA's sprite scaling.

[@PikangsFutaba]

@@joeychipman5352 Yeah... while I like the Meta Knightmare Unlockable, removing him on those moments where he gives Kirby the Lollipops sucked, still, I like both versions, GBA for said unlockable as it was cool to use Meta Knight even if you had to complete the game on a single sitting... just like on the NES with it's Hard Mode (and of course, with the remake of Kirby Super Star they had to do this mode yet again, and it was cool as well... sadly no option for Arena for Meta Knight, it would have been nice), and the NES... well... it was the 1st Kirby game I played and is just a technical achievement for said console.

[@MaxOakland]

@@mattb6522 Sprite scaling wouldn't help with the rotating tower. All it would require is changing tiles like the NES did. My uneducated guess is maybe something to do with epilepsy? Moving patterns can trigger seizures

[@bitwize]

Somehow I knew it was gonna be Metal Slader Glory (note: not Slander). Ever since discovering it on Atarihazure's channel I've been fascinated by it. If you were disappointed by it look again, closely at the graphics, the detail and animation. It's close to a playable anime on NES hardware, and was only surpassed like this year, by Former Dawn from Something Nerdy Studios, with an FPGA-based custom mapper that makes it look like a SNES game.

[@joeboo8626]

Largest cart by system: SNES - Super Street Fighter II N64 - Resident Evil 2 Neo Geo - Garou Mark of the Wolves

[@jsr734]

On SNES (Super Famicom) that would be Tales of Phantasia (6 Mbytes) and Star Ocean, also 6 Mbytes.

[@jmtradbr]

A Visual Novel being the biggest game on NES is kinda funny.

[@pojr]

Indeed. I was a little disappointed lol.

[@mikethetowns]

Missed opportunity to add some kind of "Brace yourself...I did" pun at the start haha. Grats on the fancy chompers.

[@iiiiiifggffggffgfgfg]

Based on the Japanese, Metal Slader is pronounced Slay-Der. Its remake was a very late SNES title released in 2000, even after Fire Emblem 5. Considering the hardware limitations it looks gorgeous even though it was ultimately too ambitious for the 8-bit system.

[@alfredocanas6802]

Currently there's a new NES game in development called "Former Dawn", it seems it will have a massive ROM size, it even has some kind of MODE 7 modes.

[@legbender1584]

yeah but I think homebrew don't count here anyway

[@repoversemedium]

Metal Slader Glory is one of those obscure NES games that definitely deserves a remake or at least a reboot. If Gimmick got one then so can this.

[@BubbleManmm2]

It got an SNES remake called Metal slader glory directors cut i think?

[@repoversemedium]

@@BubbleManmm2 the SNES remake is cool, but I like me a modernized remake like with the Famicom Detective games

[@JamesTDG]

I feel like if it was offered less as a visual novel but more as like an animated movie, that it would fare pretty well, especially if they maintain the original style/visual medium

[@MCastleberry1980]

I was thinking to myself "is it Action 52?" and laughed when that was technically correct, but yeah, it shouldn't count when it's 52 small crappy games.

[@pojr]

You were technically right lol.

[@yukimoe]

Technically it's 2 MB divided by 52, so I guess it's about 40 KB each on average, which is the size of your average game, this checks out

[@yozarian86]

I always wonder. If they’d scaled it down. Maybe make action 22 or something. Focus on making the games decent. I wonder if they even knew how to make better games?

[@yukimoe]

@@yozarian86 well that's the trick, if they sold this the price of a standard game, say $100, they can always argue it's less than $2 a game, that or it's to make the one good game worth it by adding 51 other crappy games with it

[@ФёдорБайкальский]

1) Adventure Island is more of a proto-runner than a platformer. 2) There is nothing wrong with visual novels. There are great classical masterpieces among them. Considering how much space the graphics take up, I'm glad that a long visual novel has been released for the NES, which honestly uses large images. nothing disappointing. In a sense, this is an achievement.

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

One game that gets overlooked in these discussions is Dragon Quest IV which was also a 1MB game.

[@nathanwallace3337]

I Google those games and it said iv was 398 kb

[@pojr]

I think I read somewhere that people thought the game was large, but it was just the uncompressed file, and that it was actually just an average-sized game.

[@greatusername1668]

@@pojr It was put on cartridge of that size but the game wasnt this big, like gameboy games look as if they take a lot of space but most of it is blank on the cartridge. When dumping games from them you get whole rom space

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

@greatusername1668 that is certainly true...I think the entire size of the prg rom was 384k, however the entire rom space provided was 1MB. When you look at most ROMS under a hex editor you're going to see some 0ed out space as not writing the empty space to the cart will throw off the address space. This is true also in the Kirby cart. So the question is do we go by chip size or actually space where data is written?

[@greatusername1668]

@@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629 This is exactly what is happening. thats why most games appear to be on fixed size like 128kb 256kb 512kb and 1mb. Its simply from rom dumps. a lot of space is unused

[@liminalnithing2]

if a splatterhouse arcade port would be on the NES, it would really benefit from 1MB of space

[@Octolicia]

6:46 : I just noticed that... the NES was able to do Mario ridding Yoshi.

[@HeyItIsMichal]

Correct. In fact, Hummer Team (bootleg developer) ported Super Mario World to the NES, and Yoshi is rideable there.

[@yozarian86]

This is something I’ve tried finding out multiple times before, but I could never find a satisfying answer like this video. Which I wasn’t even looking for. This was everything I wanted to know. Thank

[@pojr]

Glad you enjoyed! I did have trouble writing for this episode, but I think it turned out decent

[@KeithDameo]

I love that you made this video. I love the techniques that went into a lot of these old games to pull off some amazing games (and sometimes not so amazing). I love it.

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

Yep that one Famicom game was truly a beast there is a Engilsh Translation of the game. Unfortunately the english will cause the cart size to jump up to 1.5MB so putting it into a original cart would be out of the question most likely. As for officially licensed North American games with the largest memory there are two. Kirby which you discussed in the video is the easiest to obtain the other one is the coveted "Nintendo Campus Challenge 1991" both have the same 769KB there are two games that take 641KB D&D Pool of Radiance & Uncharted Waters. There are 24 officially licensed NA games that use the 512KB. For largest game that was on a cart that is not a compilation like Action 52 (regardless of region nor official or unofficial) that title goes to Final Fantasy VII (the demake) it requires the same 2MB sized cart as Action 52 there are 3 other games that are the same size, but I never saw anyone including Chinese cart makers bring them out onto carts. This includes a Chrono Trigger demake, Pokemon Yellow, and The Legend of Zelda꞉ Triforce of the Gods (all are 2MB sized ROMs). Lol those last two would have Nintendo's Ninja Lawyers all over them if they even tried.

[@alexandreturcotte6411]

The most interesting thing with Metal Slader Glory is that it got a remake of sorts in 2000, on the SNES. It was initially planned for the 64DD (The N64 Disk drive who basically was in devellopement hell, then only got released in Japan), but I guess it got put on SNES for a lesser cost (I don't remember the actual reason tbh, if there was any besides the 64DD having bombed). For reference, 2000 was the year of Majora's Mask and the PS2... Console live cycles can be wild.

[@40088922]

having the biggest NES game be an under-selling VN is like going to a barbecue but the only meat is liver

[@nervaaugustus7089]

Awesome, a pojr smile that isn't marred by dental hardware. You look so much better now. Take good care of that smile, dude. Metal Slader: Glory is a genre known today as a Visual Novel - essentially, a choose-your-own-adventure book in digital form. They're actually rather popular today, especially in Japan.

[@pojr]

Thank you so much!

[@bland9876]

Kirby's Adventure at least the 3DS version It feels so much like if Nintendo had made a system in between the NES and the SNES That's how much more advanced that game feels versus other NES games. I wonder if you could make an NES style game on an SNES like graphics wise because that'd probably be the closest thing to what Kirby's Adventure feels like.

[@Dug88]

There's no technical reasons why you couldn't make a snes game with the colour palette limitations of the nes and the processor used in the snes is essentially an upgraded 16-bit version of the one used in the nes. Not entirely so but you can actually use the snes processor in 6502 mode.

[@sirmiluch6856]

Read what Visual novel is. Why disappointment? This is a big achievement for a new console. These animated character sprites on a famicom are insane.

[@wariodude128]

Maybe the next video could be about speech in cartridge-based games. There's a number of them, including a couple that are Japan-exclusive, and seeing a quick rundown for all of them would be great.

[@pojr]

That would be a cool idea for a video. I did sort of do a video like that back in 2021, where I talk about berserk, the intellivoice and Quadrun, but I think there's a lot more to talk about

[@Akira625]

It's truly amazing what people were able to make the NES/Famicom do.

[@cyrollan]

i find older hardware to be so much more fascinating than newer stuff. they really had to get creative back then!

[@Luke_Stoltenberg]

You should check out the Kickstarter for Former Dawn. They've developed their own mapper that combines the limits of what was available at the time with modern memory constraints. It has all kinds of features such as dynamic palette swapping for more sprite colors and even FMV, all achieved basically within what COULD have been done back in the day if money were no object. The pixel art is the best I've seen for NES

[@sirgouki6207]

That game may have been just a visual novel (that's what we call those, text games have no visuals at all), but look at those animations on it. I'm willing to bet that's what took up all the extra space - all those animations for the blinking and character movements are insane for the NES/Famicom. I haven't even seen stuff move that fluid on the SNES... and the N64 was pretty much a step backwards for frame rates. Also... where the hell do you get hail from HAL? It's pronounced the same as hall, especially given in japanese it'd be pronounced ha-ru.

[@Perfect2ATee]

i reccomed checking out Metal Slader Glory Diector Cut which is on the super famicom & released 1 year before the gamecube launch

[@otakubullfrog1665]

As someone who generally enjoyed NES/SNES games that fell into what would normally be PC genres like simulation and point and click adventures, I might have actually liked playing a visual novel like Metal Slader Glory had it gotten as US release.

[@exidy-yt]

Congrats on the beautiful clear choppers, Pojr! Im actually going to miss that metallic grin, it's become iconic but I bet you are sure happy as hell to leave it behind. ;-) Thanks for the video!

[@pojr]

You're welcome! It's definitely weird not having he braces anymore, but it's nice lol.

[@mirabilis]

Metal Slader Glory was also ported to the Super Famicom and released in 2000, being the very last game for the console. Seems like they really wanted this game to sell badly.

[@JamesTDG]

Honestly, when people get all aggressive over people complaining about AAA games costing well beyond $60 at this point, they often cite how games in the 90s with inflation accounted for would have costed more to buy, but they honestly forget how much you are paying goes into the actual game cartridge. An $80-90 release makes more sense when it comes with more expensive tech to get the game to run on the console, NOT a game disc.

[@G.L.999]

If I'm not mistaken, I think the PAL version of 'Dragon's Lair' was also superior to the North American version too; not just the Japanese version.

[@pojr]

You're correct, they also use the MMC3 mapper in that version too

[@f.k.b.16]

This makes a good point about modern home brews. Most don't try to fit in a size of the cart that would have normally been available during the time frame. However, home brews still rule!

[@pojr]

True. With homebrew and advancing technology, games can be bigger than ever.

[@striderskorpion]

The largest Famicom/NES "game" is a pirate multicart. I'm not even sure which one holds that title anymore. If we talk about individual games and not multicarts, it might still be a pirate game (an unofficial port, specifically) or possibly an unlicensed/homebrew game.

[@soli-ethd]

Oh, that's a visual novel. I'm actually kinda not surprised. The sheer amount of high-resolution graphics data needed for a visual novel means that at the time they were incredibly demanding on hardware, especially space-wise. These days your standard visual novel usually doesn't clear 2GB and basically any computer over the past 20 years can run the majority of them, with some exceptions for those that use more than just 2D effects (something like Danganronpa or Steins;Gate, both of which are still far from being considered "demanding" on most hardware).

[@DrCasey]

Strange, no mention of Dragon Quest/Warrior 4. Wasn't that a big one? I remember it being around 800kb when I downloaded the NES rom a long time ago.

[@Lee-wk3cb]

SHATTERHAND.. BECAUSE... SHATTER HAAAAAAND

[@mattb6522]

Shatterhand is amazing! Such an underrated NES game!

[@hepwo91222]

great vid and congrats on being done with braces. Back in the late 80's and 90's, gaming magazines started listing the metric of megabits (not bytes) and NOT kb. SO when the Sega Genesis had a whopping 8 megabit Strider game, people took notice. SNES had SF2 WW which 16 megabits, then Genesis had Streets of Rage 2 which was 16 megabits. Turbografx-16 games usually maxed at 4 megabits, if it was larger, usually went on CD, but PC Engine had a 20 megabit SF2 CE that was thicker hucard. SNES I think peaked at 32 with Chrono Trigger, SSF2 NC and Genesis with SSF2 NC at 40 (not counting modern unofficial releases). Neo Geo marketed their games which much larger memory too, but mostly in megabits.

[@garou1911]

Hi pojr, long time subscriber but first time commenter. Just wanted to say I really enjoy how informative and chill your videos are. Thank you for doing what you do ^^

[@fattomandeibu]

Reason they didn't use bigger ROMs was purely cost, on a technical level, 4MBs would probably be the feasible upper limit, I mean theoretically, bigger would be doable, but not sure how usable that would be with the limitations of CPU and RAM. You'd effectively be making the same games you could in say, 512KB, just with more stages, and with that you better have battery back-up RAM. Keep in mind, a decent size NES character is 6 sprites(2x3) with each sprite being 16 bytes, or one frame of a character being 96 bytes. Even an entire screen using a different tile for each square will only equal 90KB. With the simple CPU, code has to be kept compact and sounds simple. Or basically, you got your work cut out filling 4MB of ROM with data for one game.

[@momosgarage]

If both 1mb an 2mb carts were possible, all this makes me wonder if the NES could have been expanded, using only increased sized cartridges, to perform at a level on par with the PC Engine/TurboGrafx

[@demgreens]

Not to be that guy, but the "HAI" logo that was shown for HAL Laboratory was actually the logo of their US-based publisher, HAL America Inc. They had never used that logo in Japan.

[@AszullGames]

Took me a minute, that last smile reminded me, grats on getting them off!

[@captainnintendo]

Crazy how the media was able to grow so much in size from its original intention. Like 20 fold. It's kinda sad how with the Switch, so many developers often opt to not even bother trying to fit their games on appropriately sized cartridges and often go for a cart that is too small to actually fit them and then screw the customer over to save a couple of pennies and then have you download the rest. Nintendo said years ago they were gonna roll out 64GB carts but I guess it just never happened. But seeing as you can basically count every cart that used 32GB carts on one hand, I guess they didn't feel the initiative. It's cool to hear how creative develops back in the 80s and 90s had to get, pushing the hardware to fit their needs I'm personally really curious/excited to see that upcoming game Former Dawn. The developers say that the on-board ROM could be up to 4MB in size But even at that size, that's just the on-board chip stuff. The game will apparently be able to stream even more data into its ram ala how the Famicom Disk system did. And they say the actual final game could be as big as 700MB! That's utterly ridiculous for a NES game. But it IS really pulling of some crazy visuals I would never have thought the NES was capable of. I believe they recently launched a Kickstarter for their game. I'm curious to see if it can really deliver on the tall promises tho.

[@RobotacularRoBob]

I wonder now what homebrew and Retro styled modern games developed on or near NES hardware could make use of such space. Retro City Rampage originally began as an NES demake of GTA 3 for instance. Must have been massive before being converted to modern platforms.

[@vinnyfanneran3116]

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

An issue is that the NES extended ROM was paged. This means only a certain amount of ROM was accessible at a time, maybe 32-48k. You can easily hit a wall with how much extra cartridge ROM storage will affect a game. One crazy thing I have seen for homebrew is using something like a Raspberry Pi inside an NES cart. Metal Slader looks like it would have been better on PC. PCs back then were limited on how fast they could do graphics, but the graphics can have higher fidelity

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

Of course, a major coprocessor on the card and the programming would have been incredibly intricate

[@toastrave7820]

As a kid in the 90's, Kirby's Adventure was awesome. Love the boss music and the bosses like the Sun and Moon battle. In fact I love boss themes , Ninja Gaiden had that theme just before the last boss called masked devil. 4 year old me somehow made it to that boss and when that music started, It tripped me out. A quick way to ruin an Nes game was to have a bad boss theme or none at all. The one boss theme that is the theme to my nightmares is from Sonic Spinball on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. It has such a dark vibe and I love it. POJR, this could make a good video, not sure if anyone really has touched this topic.

Just skipping over Koei's strategy games. They were the largest Famicom cartridges besides Metal Slader Glory. Most would be over 5 or 6 megabits (that's bits, not bytes,) before Kirby's Adventure came out, which just happened to be the largest NES rom released in the west.

You aren't misremembering anything, while the game is 512KB in size, there is a common overdump of the game that is 1MB in size. This overdump repeats the same 512KB twice.

Wasn't Dragon Warrior 4 a megabyte in size too? It just had a lot of story.
