lol

I know right. When i was a gamer 4 hours was the MINIMUM time I would spend playing. Average 6-7 and pulling all nighters was a regular.

All nighters leaving it on so we wouldnt loose progress and continue playing when we woke up...Straight game binging

Very nice

Hahah that’s the best definition of 80s 😅

Yes borat would sell his wife for a copy Of super mario bros 2

HAHAHAHA

Lmfao

message beautiful

b.s boring a.i man if not you might aswell be

Me as a parent: Already have consoles and ready for them to play.

JDraks joking dude. Jeez

***** You know there was a thing called the "outdoors", right?

So ... I'm no grownup, I guess?

Screw that little twerp

That little kid is probably a depressed adult now

I knew someone that bought a SNES at 55 and played it daily.

Man, those kids can only play 1-2 hours with parental guidelines. I can play 6 hours a day if I want to cause I'm a grownup. Kid logic is questionable.

every story in the news today is there for a reason. to mould public opinion on a specific issue. to manipulate thought. it is essentially propaganda. every major development and change in our society needs to be approved of by the general population. this is social engineering. the media is the tool by which the powers that be use to control the masses and steer them in a particular direction. whether it be the war on the virus or the climate or the big bad wolf from the east, every perceived problem has a solution. for the authorities the solution has been planned years, even decades, in advance. however, the people would need convincing that this solution is a good thing because it is so far removed from their current perceived reality that it may be considered a bad thing. the problem is just a means to an end. the media's role in today's society is to control the reaction by the public to the problem. the powers that be own the media and use it to create a consensus. most people are being manipulated without even realising it. in this decade we have seen an acceleration of the problem, reaction, solution dialectic. our world is consciously being torn down and reshaped by very powerful entities. a new world is not being built. but not to benefit the people at large. in fact, most people will be worse off in this new world. the media plays a very important role in deceiving the public into thinking that the changes that are occurring and the coming upheaval is all for the greater good. it is not... anyway, nice trip down memory lane with this video. they were simpler times. they were better times.

John Stossel has always been a good journalist who lives in the real world.

nah, nowadays its all about outrage and ratings. and its become far too political.

@@TaysonPlaysGuitar they tell you reality A or B and boy let me tell you…… it’s worse 😮😢😅 #longlivenintendo

The kid said: You can’t play. You’re a grown up. You got work to do. Me in 2023: Working from home on the clock on a lawn mowing simulator for ps5.

Yeah... wtf?!

Me! Finally a great recommendation

Now you can download the game without leaving the house. That's why there too many lazy people right now.

where was this at my parents never had this problem and where I lived the stores never ran out of games or systems?

Except it's the beginning of that old "Dad went out to buy a Nintendo game and never came back" story.

lol

You must have lived somewhere with a high population then.

Jeezus Nancy

With a moustache like that you just know they were playing it naked

Keep My J up By would

I had to show my roommate that scene I was laughing so hard, born in the early 80's we got to experience this magical time.

This comment just brought a tear to my eye. I still have my mom and I’m grateful every day for that fact.

Such a great comment

Here’s to your mom! Getting those NES cartridges early back in the day was no small feat.

My Dad was the same way, with the N64, Zelda Ocarina of Time and even the Wii. I miss him too.

R.I.P. You had a great Mom always willing to walk the extra Mile for her Son just to put a smile into your Face. Much luv from Switzerland Buddy!

they also teach structure/logic/problem solving skills as well as patience (grinding in RPGs).

Video Games Are Fun ,And it helps with eye coordination and brain memory.

How I envy the fact you saw the entirety of the 80s unfold as a child.

I was also obsessed of videogames as a kid and today im a poor looser

We’re the same age then, but I’m a plant maintenance engineer. Lol, I didn’t play so much Nintendo and I’m a little more brain dead . Go figure...

OH.

Are you implying something?

I'm "implying" that that would be crazy.

And still playing Nintendo games!

A legend in his own mind only. Arrogant piece of shit is a more fitting description.

My wife was born and raised in Central America. She has a degree in business management. Her economics professor down there frequently used Stossel’s specials and segments in her class dubbed in Spanish.

You mean douche yes...love when he got btch slapped by that wrestler . Lol

Is that the same guy that got slapped up the side of his head? By a wrestler cause he told him wrestling is fake.

Ct Snappy How funny those kids were playing Nintendo are now in their late 40s and early 30s and they are parents themselves now. I bet you they let there kids playing Fortnite

They don't even have to see games in 2019/2020. Just look at GTA III, or even games from the late 90s.

@@mnoble0902 gta 3 came out in 2001

Most parents weren't as bad as the media of the time portrayed. Maybe video games were pretty tame, but horror movies were pretty graphic at the time (Friday the 13th / Hellraiser) and I knew a lot of kids at the time who would watch them and our parents didn't faint.

Time travel - This game is called "Doom" and this is a plasma wide screen dispay. Now watch the violent intro!

That's crazy but you're right time flies fuck time

Kravis63: Yeah, I'm 42,and would have been 8 when this story came out.

IHaveSwatches yeah, I’m one of them as well. Hello.

Yup, I'm one of them. I was 10 years old at this time

I’m 37, those were the days!

Indeed. I hope the kids in the story are also doing well today. I remember watching this with my step-dad I had an instant crush on the four-eyed girl 😊🤣

Yeah. I played Nintendo in 1988 as a 10 year old. Now I'm 41 and doing just fine. Lol

So those kids are pushing 40 today. Lol

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Yep. 43 here. My Goodness those were the days. I personally feel our generation was the last great one sadly. By the time we were old enough and ready for responsibility online gaming started to take off and that was the beginning of the end. Not for us being able to play games per say but doing what those kids were doing in the story huddled together after school exchanging ideas and sharing the controller ya know... actually being social.

@@TheMrKobeBryant2012 Are you doing just fine? Is that your final answer? Phone a friend? 50/50? Ask the audience? ; )

I felt proud for him

fyi, barbara walters is the female reporter and john stossel is the male reporter.

"Female Reporter" "Male Reporter" JFC. You don't even know who these people are, do you, kid? That's BARBARA F***ING WALTERS and JOHN F***ING STOSSELL. I don't mean to hate on you, but you need to do a little research.

"NO! YOU CAN'T JUST BEAT UP BAD GUYS!!!" "Haha turtle go bonk"

You're dessssppppicable. I think that's how daffy says it

Im sure if you do some research..... people hated LoonEy Toons too. Road Runner and Coyote come to mind. It was a part of, at the time, THEIR generation so it was fine. Old people always find a way to trash newer generations. It's gone on forever. There is nothing more violent than Looney Toons. I watched Daffy Duck get his head blown off and beak blown backwards.

@@troymiller319 Exactly this. The kids in this news report are probably the same ones complaining about kids now and their "evil cell phones" and "awful social media"

Yes but the cell phones and awful social media is worse because it has kids disassociating and lacking personality and taking up too much of their time and reliance amd causes the desire for instant gratification, laziness and amongst many other things. Video games and looney tunes did not

That’s to much violence for kids, they will stomp on mushrooms and ducks

So what? Pratt is just getting paid for another role for his job/income. Idgaf if Pratt is awful at "explaining" things. You're a hater.

@@shen-long9082 It’s called a simple joke Buddy. The joke is that a clueless news reporter who had just learned what Nintendo is was able to explain it better than an actor selected for a Hollywood feature film based off of a AAA franchise that’s been around for nearly four decades now. A franchise that he had known about since childhood and was specifically confirmed by the man who created said franchise back in 1981. Personally, I have no doubt Pratt will deliver a fun version of the character. No where was I being a “hater”.

Stossel and Pratt are both heroes

to be fair Chris Pratt was 9 at the time, maybe with a nes of his own, who knows?

Ayyy was geht?

One could say they made children addicts and customers for life.

I would have to agree with you because I too used to have a Nintendo System I remember getting it for christmas.

That's not caused by GTA (which is rated 18+), that's some serious mental issues. And shitty parenting. The game is only for adults, and where's this kid getting a gun? The game doesn't come with a real one, so he probably stole it from his parents, which wouldn't have been a problem if the gun was in a locked safe (or the kid was properly diagnosed and medicated).

***** thats the parents fault for being complete dumbasses and not teaching their kid what the real world is

@@cattysplat I was born in 80' and wouldn't change my childhood for any other period of time. The regular Nintendo is still my favorite system of all time. The controller was simple and the games were fun and some downright challenging. We had tons of action figures, video games, classic cartoons, the music was great, Mike Tyson was unbeatable, Hulk Hogan and all those wrestling characters, kids still read books etc..and that was just the entertainment we found inside the house. We still spent most of our time using our imagination outside. It was a great balance of both worlds.

I used to beat up people with sledgehammers also. Nostalgia at finest.

Aaah yes those old CRT TV's. If you could manage to lift even a 32 inch TV yourself, you were ready to train for a spot of the Olympic weightlifting team💪💪💪

It warms my fart.

Pathetic, ive singlehandedly played for 1 day straight. I was able to finish about one round of 2fort on tf2.

To be fair, all they had were simple 2d side scrollers, beat em ups, and arcade games. The funniest thing is that they thought those games were violent, ahaha. Violent, no. Procrastination, yes.

Laughs in since i can play to when i have to sleep

everytime i got a bethesda game i would play for and almost 24 hours sleep like 5 hours eat and start playing again,u carsh once u let go of the controller to go eat or atleast that what happens to me

Those hotlines were very much active until a decade or so ago for every single system. Nintendo went a step above and had the assistants playing the game live sometimes, but in a lot of other places they had massive binders or computer documents that were laid out like an ultra in depth walkthrough

no internet in 88, it was either phone a hotline or hope you could find the answers in a magazine

Yep! It was called the "Nintendo Power Hotline", and it went on all the way until 2005. It was launched by Minoru Arakawa himself (former president of Nintendo of America). Back then you couldn't go online for walkthroughs, and strategy guide books couldn't solve everything. Arakawa thought, "If we don’t get people through the games, then they’re not going to want to buy the next one". Just look up "Nintendo Power Hotline". There's some really cool articles about it!

You get a couple of friends together at one of their houses, some snacks, mom or dad got to meet everybody... Then you went home and did your homework.

Jerrod Howard and I'm still mates with one of them 20 plus years laters

good reference

Ferrari Red don’t be so gullible mcflay

Ferrari Red 😂😂. Anybody home!!! Think mcfly think!!!

I spilled beer all over my suit

I just bought the trilogy today

@CAS It seems you did not live the 80's like I did, that game was so much fan in those years. We did not have the games of today or power PCs or consoles.

@CAS i was disappointed with SMB2 when it came out. got it for christmas that year

@CAS should we ban you?

Crazy how in 2020 he could just buy and download the game from the PlayStation store in a few minutes from the comfort of his couch

​@@eddyrodriguez3865 I would say that in 2020, he could just download the game rom from the internet for his nes emulator. thats free, and also the playstation offers no nintendo games :D

I call bs on this 100%.

David Rutledge you can find them at vintage stock

lol agreed. "killer turtles and deadly ducks"

Plug and play

Hmm, i can't think of a single Mario game where a duck is the enemy

This wasn't about Mario specifically, obviously any Italian plumber would do.

So true

Lockwood Studios haha, don’t forget GTA

Lol... What was the more serious report tho?

What a boomer.

Lets face it, she's always been a bit of a bummer.

why dont u kids go watch some more nintendo.

@iwillnever4getu Nintendo isn't news. It's corporate greed, dumbing down humans.

Indeed

Don’t let Zuckerberg know that 😂

Doom 2016: *Hold my chainsaw*

@KoivuTheHab Pong

@KoivuTheHab Geez dude, sensitive much?

Mortal Kombaaaaat! God I was 10 when it came out i have the snes copy it was sanitized lol

@KoivuTheHab Way to overreact, Poindexter. What's next, shooting up a movie theater?

LOL. I thought she was a bitch back then and she still is. However, I had no idea she was actually HOT at one time and I saw her on this show for a long time. She treated John Stossell like he was the red-headed step-child with his report. What an Elitist BItch!

The more serious report was what joe did to Jane

She just had to be a buzz kill. We are having too much fun, this is bad for ratings. Now, back to scaring people.

She about made Stossel cry... because, that's what she does...

What does Barbara know, she said "watch Nintendo" you still see it in today's news, stupid anchors undermine what they don't understand.

Reece Q Baskin lmao

be, not get lol

lol

She's right strategy is not brain dead

2020 is terrible so far thanks to the Coronavirus.

@@Patrick19833 agree :(

More like Happy *Bad* Year, although I like the positive comments.

Lol I loved your energy 10 months ago when you commented this

More like happy i can’t breathe please get off of my neck I’m dieing

the 'real' Super Mario 2 (japan) version, was what arcade cabinets had in US(Vs. Super Mario Bros). Locally (SoCal), it was in a 'double-cabinet' with Vs. Super Mario Bros and Excitebike.

The "real SMB2" is trash anyways

@@neypaz8054 Hard ain't it?

@@kwitseo I mean, I got to finish all worlds, including the secret ones. But many of them rely on counterintuitive designs, and having to beat the game EIGHT times to unlock the extra worlds was a dick move. Why some purists prefer to defend this kind of game over a less frustrating, more colorful and more influential game like the "fake" SMB2 is beyond me

@@neypaz8054 It's for the challenge. I don't have anything against SMB2 USA since like playing as the Princess, and I remember playing the game as a kid.

aceattorney1989 correct!!

No probably not. They are still 10

Their probably drunks who turned their backs on nintendo and childhoods, if only they knew

They’re probably died from brain wash

Man i live in Russia all my life but suddenly i miss that time ( People really better than now, more open to each other and video games is really magic.

I think the next biggest reaction was Playstation, for sure. Beautiful times though for sure

Back in my day... 🙄

@@Digital_Ghost_ my dude this is fair

"Yeah because you're.. 'Cause you don't know. If you're a grown up you hardly kno- re-.. you hardly do this if you're a grown up, you have work to do!"

Jeniko good 1 😂😂😂

Best quote ever.

That kid is my spirit animal.

Holly Fuck!

Gamepro and Nintendo power....I had stacks

Then came Gamefaqs

Electronic Gaming Monthly. EGM was legendary for their spreads and in-depth arcade as well as home system walkthroughs.

Now you playing with power, Nintendo Power!

@@caiusmadison2996 OMG yesss, I forgot about them

What about a Clippers fan in 1998?

And the Pepsi generation. I`m a Pepsi kid.

VIC-20/Commodore 64 guy here, missed the Nintendo, next console after my Atari 2600 was a PS1 in '97 :D GenX Repra-SENT!

@@thedungeondelver : I never had a computer as a kid. My brother bought a Colecovision which was able to play atari 2600 games for some reason (~1985). Then I asked for a NES, I think we bought that in 1989. In 1997, I bought my first PC, Cyrix P200L 150 MHz 16 MB EDO RAM S3 Virge DX 2 MB. I am now a pc gamer.
