Nintendo Product Demo 94 Promotion VHS 

Jamie A. The actor probably had to do a few more takes before he could say that line without laughing his ass off.

Im Hip! Im Cool!!!........im then.... 😢😭😢

only then. even they admitted in these goofy promos that it was only "for now" as they knew technology would catch up and it did.

Nintendo wasn't wrong. The Sega CD was horrendous and awful due to 5 minute load times plus the games made for the Sega CD wasn't any different than the cheaper cartridge games already out. The only difference was the CD quality Red Book Audio that'd play alongside the game, but that only affected the music, not the sound. At the time this tape was made, cartridges WERE objectively better. The SNES's dominance in the market over the Genesis proved that. Even when the PSX and N64 were out, cartridges were still better for load times. Take Street Fighter Alpha for instance. The PSX and Saturn versions had 1-2 minute load times before fights, where as the SNES had only 5-10 seconds of loading before fights. Hiroshi Yamauchi was correct when he said "cartridges were better" when the N64 came out. The market and tech wasn't ready for CD rom technology yet and really needed another generation before CDs became the defacto gaming medium, but Sony and Sega forced it on us early and we took the bait, hook line and sinker because of the dazzling lights those companies dangled over us like infants with car keys. The files that took up the majority of CD ROM space on a 500MB disc were the useless, pointless FMV videos. The games themselves were never big enough to require 500MB of space and could've been put on a N64 cart. Maybe not a 24MB, but one of the later 32MB and 64MB carts would work, like what RE2 N64 proved. Oh, and btw, Nintendo hasn't died. Sony and Microsoft are close to dying off, though. Soon Nintendo will be the only original Video Game centric company to be left standing, if Sony and Microsoft don't crash the industry first...

@@gamephreak5Sony and Microsoft are nowhere near dying off, you sound like you’re out of touch with reality.

@@Rountree1985the mental gymnastics are incredible

Fast forward 30 years later now cartridges are the better format to go with when it comes to more storage. Part of the reason why Sony and M$ are losing money these days because they foolish keep going with discs.

And thank God for that 🤣

@@FantasyfootballRedd13 It got old real fast but they kept doing it.

People jut don’t play it loud anymore.

Thank god 🤣

it's like Road Rules. or TRL with Carson Daly. actually maybe not so much carson daly he was later.

Thank God for Nintendo Switch game cards

well, they went to discs for something like 16 years. when technology caught up. but then went back.

flat brim bros

Well...then Mortal Kombat II hit the SNES in it's full, complete g(L)ory and played/sounded bettee than the Genesis sadly, same with MK3 a year later in '95. 💀

shut up buddy

Thanks for time stamp. I like when she asks about the 32 bit adapter. Hehe

I was a kid in the 90s and what I enjoyed the most was the gaming magazines and going into games "blind" youtube spoil every game now, back then we didnt know how it played until we played it. And so I literally bought 70% of my games based on 3-4 screenshots and some written stuff in a magaizine,

it wasn't that great bro. everyone was hyper aggressive and crazy and would get away with all kinds of terrible things.

​@@ianswift3521that PFP fits you.

​@@ianswift3521 The 90's were better than what it is now, for damn sure. I'd rather live the upcoming 2024 like it was 1994 all over again willingly.

The 'early' 90's, up until the mid were amazing. Magical times to be a kid including the late 80's. Pop culture gradually went down the gutter at about 96 imo. Things slowly became more corporate, less imaginative, fashion and music went down hill etc. Late 80's & early 90's were peak pop culture for this dooder! :P The world was full of imagination, people were a lot more optimistic, fashion was bright and colourful(The neon colours, big ear rings & Big hair etc), synth pop was incredible, the commercials were so much fun and larger than life, the cartoons, movies, etc. Damn I wish i could blast back!

Thinking Dan Cortese/MTV sports.

This wasn’t for kids, it was for store owners and managers.

@@NecroMorrius Naw, this was for the teenagers/20-somethings working under those store managers.

it's definitely Weasel Pauly Shore + Wayne's World + Bill & Ted characterization combined into a caricature.

not really. they would say 'in limited quantities' and speak of it dismissively even then. they've always been about "buy our newest system!"

Kind of I bought one of the top loaders back in 94 I don't remember seeing any advertisements for it on television but they did have it in stock at toys r us and had some ads in store

Pretty much. The last NES game(s) came out as late as '95.

plus it went against their pathos of "we're concerned about violence in video games, here's a rocket launcher for your kid".

Than the PS1 happened

I think the game gear not learning from turbo express and atari lynx was the beginning of the end.

they still do go away

@@NintendoDude888 get lost you know nothing about great things loser

@@jamieoiler5690 haha!

@@jamieoiler5690 Only if you only play games on Nintendo hardware and are completely oblivious of the rest of the tech world.

I'm happy they focus on the experience and accessibility instead.

game gear was a joke. even as a 7 year old i knew how it ate batteries and was effectively worthless. weak stripped down games.

They didn't even need to fight back, Sega were shooting themselves in the foot constantly and being outgunned and outmatched by Nintendo over and over again.

LOL Live your truth sis. Anyone who has played PS1 games on a PS1 knows. And not a "PSOne". a PS1. ALL of them had horrible loading times through the end of the console's lifespan in 2000. Mortal Kombat Trilogy for PS1 = HORRENDOUS loads. NIGHTMARE CREATURES = again. those are just two easy examples off the top of my head. All those goofy quirky cutesie platformers that didn't know who they were catering to - kids or adults - also had obscene load times. But live your truth zoomer. you do you ya'll.

@ianswift3521 sorry. I haven't played much actual PS1. Do you mind if I edit this?

Yes

they're probably all dead now. these guys live fast die young.

Uh...you mean Western. Rare is a British company.

you being sarcastic lol? hes a comedian, pretty famous on utube

@@llumiinati What's his name.

@@Godlike_Virus Josh Wolf

@@llumiinati Sweet deal. And no, not being sarcastic, over all these years I never knew that was him, not I just looked up him. Funny comedian. 😆 Looks good for his age.

and then sega ended up joining forces with them later. i truly lost all respect for Sega after they failed with Dreamcast and joined the opposition.

@@ianswift3521 cope

Sony sucks, and so did the PS1. Barely any good games.

@@gamephreak5 Bro the N64 didnt have many games because of the Cartridge vs CD format wars. Cartridges had less space and expensive & while CDs were cheaper & carried more storage. Most publishers and developer's left Nintendo to make games for Sony because CDs was easier and better alternative. There was way more games on PS1 than N64.

Nope. Cartridges never went out of style and stayed around for decades. CDs never dominated CRAP! Switch is far superior to any other gaming console.

GV Games they’re obviously not slow. Nintendo fucked up on their disc system so rallied down hard on the speed benefit of cartridges. Ignoring the fact CD held more data, proper stereo music tracks and room for FMV’s. If cartridges were as amazing as they said they wouldn’t have switched to discs with the GC. Plus Nintendo loved cartridges as they had a thing where developers had to buy the cartridges from them so they made even more money, on top of publishers having to only make the game for Nintendo. Nintendo was a bit of a bullying monopoly back when it was Sega v Nintendo. They got too cocky and then the PlayStation knocked them off their throne.

lies

uh yes. they were slow loading. the load times on CD-based PS1 games took literally minutes to load up new levels, zones, and the game itself. As nintendo continuously said "FOR NOW". They knew technology would eventually catch up and that's why they in fact used discs for something like 16 years from gamecube through wii u.
