The History of Nintendo - Brawl in the Family

This is Brawl in the Family's 400th comic, The History of Nintendo!
Tadpole Treble: store.steampowered.com/app/354400
Drawn, sung, and written by Matthew Taranto. Video edited by Sarah Williams (the soon-to-be Mrs. Taranto!)
High-quality recording available for purchase here! brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/...
Dates used are generally referring to the US releases, although I did cheat a bit with Pokemon not being a Game Boy Color game...but hey, that's really what was carrying the handhelds at the time!
Some requested the final(ish) panel as a high-quality image, so here it is:

~FULL LYRICS:~
V1:
Just sit back and relax, my friend.
Today's lesson won't take too long.
And to make it more interesting,
It takes the form of this nerdy song.
The year is 1889,
Before the accolades and awards.
Nintendo got its start
From making hanafuda cards.
V2:
For a century, they grew and planned
To discover just what sells.
Making vacuums and Ultra Hand
And love testers and love hotels.
But they soon zeroed in on games
Like the Game & Watch and Color TV.
In '81, they made Donkey Kong,
And the rest is history.
(refrain)
This is the history of Nintendo.
Spanning the years, hanafuda to Mario...
Straight from Kyoto, with a guy named Miyamoto,
This is the history of Nintendo.
V3:
1985: Future stars like Link and Samus, and portly plumbers hit the scene.
'89: All our mothers took our Game Boys to play Tetris on that tiny screen.
'91: Super Mario World taught us we could fly while riding dinosaurs.
'94: Virtual Boy had us seeing red, returning systems to their stores.
(bridge)
'96: Let's-a go with Mario to new horizons...
'98: Pokémania caught our hearts and dollars too.
2001: The GBA and GameCube lost some marketshare that day.
But we still loved to play Smash Bros. Melee...!
(refrain)
So goes the history of Nintendo.
From Ana to Kat, Pikachu to Lucario.
A fierce crescendo peppered with strange innuendo,
This is the history of Nintendo.
2004, the DS.
2006, the Wii.
2011, the 3DS, a DS in 3D.
2012, the Wii U, out by this year's end,
And so my friend, well now you know the history of Nintend...o.
(coda)
Hanafuda, Ultra Hand, Sheriff, Kirby's Pinball Land,
Wild Gunman, Superman(?), Mario Land, Jam With the Band,
Mega Man 1 through Mega Man 7, DK '94 and Rhythm Heaven,
Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, Talespin,
Dragon Quest, Diddy's Quest, Simon's Quest, Gargoyle's Quest,
Master Quest, Mystic Quest, Puzzle Quest, Fester's Quest,
Yamauchi, Miyamoto, Iwata, Sakurai, Sakamoto,
Tezuka, Totaka, Itoi, Arakawa, Kondo, Yokoi,
Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask,
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Pokémon Blue and Killer Instinct,
Little King's Story, Epic Yarn, Actraiser, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, Soul Blazer,
Final Fantasy, Super Metroid, Cool Spot, MC Kids, and Yo Noid!,
Mega Man X, The Thousand-Year Door, Punch-Out!!, Resident Evil 4,
F-Zero, Hey You, Pikachu!, Viewtiful Joe and Lufia 2,

So epik

[@imseanpatrick]

This is probably my favorite "comic" from Brawl in the Family, and it makes me so sad going back and listening to this realizing that BiTF is finished and we will never get a webcomic like this ever again. It's based on all of our favorite characters and maintains very clean yet funny humor which is very hard to come by these days. Goodbye BiTF. Nothing will ever replace you in my heart.

[@imseanpatrick]

Not to mention the genuinely heartwarming moments and character development.

[@jameslove4187]

Could not agree with all of this any more, loved this comic. Now Brawl in The Family really will forever be part of the history of Nintendo to me.

As André from GameXplain said in closing in their discussion of that sales report; "Desperate Nintendo is best Nintenedo." And during those years, it indeed was. :D)

[@theguywhodoesthings9608]

Matthew tantoro loved the wii U

[@alphayell4598]

Eh I actually feel like the Wii U era was the worst era for Nintendo. All of those games from that era that haven’t been ported already are forgettable at best, and laughably bad at worst. Even the handhold games were either hit or miss. Remember Chibi Robo Zip Lash or Codename Steam?

I remember a time where you could really be proud to be a Nintendo fan, used to love this song to death for that reason. Hoping Nintendo's current position is just going to a footnote in its history.

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

But still a rhyming one.

[@alphayell4598]

Bruh if it was I’d be ashamed, cause Nintendo is in a Renaissance with all the new games, from Splatoon 3 and Forgotten Land to the upcoming new Pokémon Games and Breath of the Wild 2.

[@justynh1321]

@@alphayell4598 I think their ashamed that they like the popular thing. Personally I love nintendo for its game desgine of fun first. Even when I hate a nintendo game I can always appreciate most of the parts of it.

[@Krookzior]

I want to weigh in on this with my personal impressions of Nintendo during a lot of the Switch's era. I do hard agree with a lot of switch era titles have been amazing, hell Metroid even has made a comeback. That said Nintendo has also been the focus of a lot of stupid shit at the same time lately. For instance you used to always be able to count on Nintendo's hardware being high quality, they even came up with a term for it due to how unanimously high quality it was, Nintendium. Now? Joy Con drift crap left and right, I've had plenty of friends and myself as well go through multiple pairs, all the while they're selling these lower quality durability controllers at higher prices than any previous sturdier ones. Nintendo has decided to opt to have you start paying for their online services on the Switch, their online elements being free was something that was an advantage over their console competitors for so long. I personally don't think this one is even a majority Nintendo problem but I can see some folk citing the sharp decline Pokemon has been on since Switch Era. Probably has something more or less to do with Pokemon Company and Game Freak themselves, but thats a whole other rabbit hole. The limited availability games like Mario 3D all stars and that Fire Emblem title was a whole issue itself as well. TL;DR I think the quality of an overwhelming majority of Nintendo's games during the Switch's era has been PHENOMENAL. It's just that their more company/policy centric decisions have been awful.

[@TheIndifferentGamer]

Stop listening to rage bait / nostalgia bait KZbinrs. Nintendo are the same that they've always been. For better and for worse.

Melee on the Gamecube, 04 represents New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS, 06 represents Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, 11 represents Legend of Zelda Triforce Heroes for the 3DS, and 12 represents Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U.

2015:Iwata is gone

[@Gunplus574]

Every time I listen to this song I get chills. The memories made were good.

[@laurasalazar6542]

I like how it’s so fun for kids you can teach them win and Nintendo made all Game consuls

[@Dash_Fish]

2:35 Holy shit it’s Totaka’s song in the background. That’s such a nice touch.

[@MrMg779]

I didn’t even hear it until I read this comment I hear it so clearly now wtf

[@TreeBranchStudios]

Dude this needs a sequel with the switch lineup, it’s hilarious

[@Charkid177]

NGL this is the bomb, I'd love to see an updated version of this.

[@boatt_swag]

I remember listening to this song ages ago. Still holds up to this day.

[@gumass4534]

I actually just got into Brawl in the Family, after it ended, but I still got so sad after the last comic...

[@polarity1262]

I’m here to cry again.

[@funnimonkibdog]

I find myself coming back to this video a lot and it still holds up really well, it’s nice whenever I randomly remember that this exists

[@Ausieck]

This Video: 8 years old KZbin: now seems like a good time to show you this

[@somdimi4061]

R I P mister iwata

[@ConsarnitTokkori]

Rest in peace with Buzz Buzz, Master King Iwata.

[@mr.krustykrust]

[@SirMalorak]

2:42 Totakas Song! LOL! I just noticed this now! Sneaky...

[@jenuelgonzalez9334]

Just noticed

[@BLACKDISC]

This still plays in my head from time to time 10 years later. Such a cozy song

[@joalllucas]

I'm a little... weird right now. That's because I perfectly remember seeing this video when it came out and I memorized the song at the time. Today, April 19 2022, I came here to remember this video and saw that, last week, he turned 10 YEARS! The time flies...

[@lightningmaster3383]

1889!?!?!?!?!?! Wow! Nintendo is THAT old!?!?!?!?!

[@hayleeh18]

Yeah. I was shocked too, so I quiz my friends randomly and they always say something along the lines of 1990.

[@baldman7738]

crystal bubbles really 1990 the nes came out in 1985 and I was under the impression that most people knew that.

[@kyotooutrun]

Noah Baldwin Hell, the Famicom (Japanese NES) came out in 1983.

[@baldman7738]

***** exactly

[@thebravegallade731]

+MasterPislice and G&W came out in 1980...

[@back2thefuture]

This. Dear god, you have won the interwebs.

[@Jonniz2000]

Revisited this in the first time in six years and still knew (most) of the words. A true masterpiece and I’m not embarrassed to say that I cried a bit thanks to the nostalgia.

[@ivanreyes9143]

esto es hermoso esta cancion la canto y me imagino cada epoca de cada consola THE HISTORY OF NINITENDOOOOO

[@mrguy3008]

Damn... Wish i found BITF earlier, I found it right after it ending...

[@thehero8573]

Same :/

[@CBag23]

also here :,(

[@Kwen666]

I literally found it about a week before it ended

[@PureMagic101]

It's ok guys Better late than never! Welcome to the family:)

[@goorooschlum]

DatLolcatGuy I found it when I randomly clicked on..... One Final Song......

[@nicoheard4239]

It's been six years y'all. Rip in Pepperonis, Brawl in the Family. I'm honestly tearing up rn listening to this again.

[@jothejoker6771]

I read every comic on that website. When it ended, I was on the verge of tears as I finished off my adventure with this song. It used to just be a "pretty cool" thing, until I read the comic. Then, when he started naming off the different games and ended with "Brawl in the Family", it became so much more emotional. A final farewell. :)

[@squilliam0909]

This brings back so much nostolgia from when I watched this years ago

[@thefreelancequeen]

RIP MR IWATA

[@TDTUltra]

someone should make an updated version of this song

[@rwilcox]

TDT_Ultra It’s perfect in its current state.

[@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771]

@@rwilcox yeah nah there's a lot of omissions even for its time

[@Ashley_Rayn]

Oh the nostalgia 😭 life was so simpler when I used to watch these

[@lumacovers6514]

Great video! The song is so catchy I keep watching this video over and over

[@InsulinRunner]

Still don't see how the vocals at 2:20 are even possible.

[@theherohartmut]

Takes a bit of practice, but it's definitely possible.

[@pancookieplays]

with the death of mr iwata i wanted to revisit this, it makes me cry but also makes me smile. Iunno, it's really lovely.

[@alphaamoeba]

I just love how he described the 3DS as "ADSN3D"

[@DarkPsychoMessiah]

The part about Super Mario 64 still gets me.

[@TheClassicnathan]

:'( bye brawl, thank u for including CAMELOTS Golden Sun in this song

[@ericlamasdacunha4455]

Lufia, Ranma, Killer Instinct, Epic Yarn...

[@CBag23]

kirbEH

[@TheClassicnathan]

Eric Lamas da Cunha O_______O such Nintendo

[@ericlamasdacunha4455]

Flaming Flake (Flame Flake) You GOTTA play Lufia II. Consider Guy and Dekar powerhouses, although axes help a lot. Cuttin' thru enemies' defense stats.

[@TheClassicnathan]

What?

[@ellisuijtewaal5851]

this is the best video i have ever seen on youtube

[@Poyostar]

Easily my favorite song from the whole run of Brawl In The Family. It's simple, but catchy, and sometimes that's all you really need! Even if this is naturally outdated on account of this being made so long ago, it's still always a joy to listen to The History Of Nintendo!

[@mr.pringlz8784]

There needs to be an updated version of this, just so we can jam to this even more!

[@jobacosta6496]

Nintendo that word means everything i need to be happy

[@betterthanbrooklyn5806]

Absolute classic

[@Vinsesh_]

MAAAAAN THE NOSTALGIA FROM THIS! I actually UNDERSTAND now!

[@name_here0]

Bird from the future I’ll never forget this song for it was the first one I somehow found in elementary and now in high school i find my self back somehow
