NATSU-MON 20th Century Summer Kid, a charming Japanese adventure. Part 2 of the DEMO
Here I play the 2nd part of demo of NATSU-MON 20th Century Summer Kid.
You can hear how surprised I was when the demo ended so soon and asked me to go to the Nintendo e-shop to purchase the full title! But I thought I would upload this short experience anyway so at least you all know where the demo ends.
Even though I promised myself to stop buying games for a while, I really think I'll jump into this one, it is so intriguing and the atmosphere is lovely.
Let me know what you think? Fancy picking this one up? Thanks for watching!

How two use your OG GameCube controller on your Nintendo Switch!

I only recently discovered that you could use your original GameCube controller on your Nintendo Switch when I was playing Monkey Ball and a friend suggested it. Many have been using this method to play SmashBros already on Switch, and it just involves picking up the 8Bitdo G Bros.

I like retro games but never play old school pc games I have rest of mini console is wort picking up for retro game fan who comes for console background amazon has bundle with system and 2 joy sticks for $88 with shipping tax
it's that balance now between playing on the OG hardware for a retro game - or a version for example of the Switch N64/ GBA app. Nostalgia can certainly makes some games seem better than you remembered - but playing on a proper CRT monitor can make a big difference too. I started using my PSP again to play a monkey ball game - and that still looks amazing! But playing some of these C64 games wasn't much fun. And there are literally 1000's to play aren't there? And with limited time available to play sometimes, what's the best place to spend your time! Don't think I have answered your question but had a good ramble! Thanks for your comment and keep in touch. Sparky
Aún tiene caídas de fps o ya lo resolvieron ?
My only question is: are you free to explore to your hearts content or is there an overall time limit (like it's your summer, you have 90 in-game days)?
that's a great question - I don't think there is a time limit, but need to check. I haven't picked up the full version yet - I have dived back into GraveYard Keeper and started a new game! It's great! Thanks for taking time to drop a comment. Sparky
Is this basically Boku no Natsuyasume?
Basically, yes, esp when you look at the summary description of Bono no Natsuyasume (it literally could be this game aspart from the age of the child): "The game follows the summer vacation of Boku, a city-dwelling nine-year-old boy who in August 1975 is sent to stay with his extended family in the Japanese countryside for a month. Gameplay takes place in an open-ended environment where the player is free to determine how Boku spends the thirty-one in-game days of his summer vacation, with few set goals or specific obligations of gameplay progression."
Reminds me of natsuyasumi a lot. I like it :3
it is so so much like it @Minish
30fps?
yep think so.
Thanks for showcasing this one, Sparky - looking forward to finally playing it for myself.
Cheers Seth, I am jumping into the shop and picking up the full version after playing this demo. There is just something very enticing about this one, the setting, characters, story - should be fun. thanks for the comment and take care. Sparky
This is me playing through the demo which just launched on the Nintendo Switch - I wasn't planning to play for so long but this game gets its hooks into you. Let me know if you've played it and what you thoughts are. I'm looking forward to playing some more. Could be a very interesting title, certainly showing lots of promise.
Nah, to me the best Pinball is Xenotilt and Demon Tilt followed by Zen Pinball franchise Skyrim table 🎉

I totally agree - WizzBall - Rambo - Thing on a spring - Monty Mole - imagine those tracks made with todays tech? It was amazing when you think about it. Rob Hubbard was a legend. What a talent. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment. best wishes, Sparky
You’d have to pay me to play this game. I could not spend any amount of money on it
That's funny but you are absolutely right! This game should stay behind bars excuse the pun.
i have huge debt, and never can pay my weekly cost (the biggest part is employee salary), any advice how to pay my debt?
I would cut down on your staff to save some money, maybe the amount of animals in some of the enclosures too so you dont have so much money spent on food bills. Also make sure you have enough food/ drink stalls as these bring in some good money. It certainly gets a little crazy when you have to manage so many things, but a fun game all the same. Hope you're enjoying it. Thanks for the comment too. best wishes, Sparky
The Best Wrestling is still "Wrestling Empire", in my Opinion. This has one thing what the others didn't have: Replay-Value. The Career Mode is a lot of and it can take hundreds of hours of your time. Also, it have lots of costumizable options. And MDickie still Update this Game with more stuff.
you are absolutely right. There are so many variables you can play with and scenarios there is a lot of replay value in this game. What's you favourite wrestling game ever if you dont mind me asking?
@@thenintendohub3873 my favourite since childhood is Smackdown 2. Both Day of Reckoning games Smackdown vs Raw 2006 are up there aswell.
@@thenintendohub3873 Since Childhood my favourite was Smackdown 2 - Know your role!. I spend hours in the Season Mode or playing a Hardcore or Falls Count Anywhere Match without Pinfall or Submission. The Day of Reckoning Games and Smackdown vs Raw 2006 are up there as well.
I kind of looked at getting one, however you have to use the supplied joystick because of the extra buttons, and you cannot connect anything to it.
yeah the supplied joystick sucks really compared to the Kempston Pro I used back in the day. Really, really sluggish. That's where they shouldn't have cut corners.
if u want to play a fun prison type game play hard life on mobile its free too
thanks and will take a look at that - cheers and take care.
I still have mine since I was a kid. However I do think the dvd player portion does not work that well

Wish the Maxi had a v2 update with better hardware, newer VICE version, SID and pallette options and a USB out to use it as a keyboard to control an emulator on pc
Nice one. I love this game. I've played it three times now-twice on PC and once on the Switch. It's a fantastic Switch port. 🔥💯
Thanks! I haven't seen it on any other systems running so have nothing to compare it to, but I can't imagine it looking much better elsewhere.
I happened upon this game on LUNA. I was addicted to it and finished it in three days. It's a stunning game and great for decompression.
Great to hear you enjoyed it. It also goes to show that a really simple but striking art style is all you need to create a stunning game, rather than high resolution and HDR etc. Playing with headphones really adds to het whole experience as well.
It really is quite an experience. I have yet to come across a game with the same execution.
Brother, you can hit B more than one time to chain a boost, causing the fins to turn yellow and glow, (you go zoomies)
thank you so much for that! Will absolutely try that when next in. Have a great weekend
Youll shouldnt talk through the gameplay thats rude try making another Nintendo switch endless ocean video without talking through it at all
I've watched a lot of videos on this game. This one makes it look the most appealing.
thanks, but don't watch anymore videos on it though, just go and buy it for yourself, it's a great little title! It's often on sale as well. Fantastic pixel art visuals and a creepy undertone, what more could you ask for! Thanks for watching and dropping a few words.
@@thenintendohub3873 the complete edition is currently on sale for $10 on Switch. The core game is on sale for 5. I'll most likely end up buying one of them LOL
I've been having fun online. I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy it offline though.
That's good to hear. I started a new Solo map/ run and it was a lot more fun that the way I was playing the first one, I was literally trying to swim almost 100 percent of the map and it started to feel like a grind. I think the solo maps are randomly generated (not 100 percent sure) but the new one is way more interesting and I have already discovered loads of new fish. I have also lowered the sound effects as the constant 'beeping' of the scanner started to become a little tiresome.
It's a grind. You're doing the same thing Over and over and over.
@@lrishbride1983 Hey @irishbride1983 - that's a very cool and interesting name by the way being Irish myself - you are absolutely right, that's pretty much all there is to it. Hard to argue with it - have you played it?
Had a Commodore 64 back in the 80's. (actually still own it). Had such great fun with the system. Especially when The Bard's Tale came out. Me and my buddies staying up all night dungeon crawling. I'm told you can load games to the mini via a thumb drive. I wonder how that works on games with multiple disks like The Bard's tale. I'm still deciding whether a C64 mini is a decent purchase.
I adored it back in the 80's - it was my best Christmas present ever - had the 1541 drive with it as well - and I loved the Bards Tale too. Remember putting a book on the cassette deck to help game load! For the price you can pick these up now it's good value though. Can't really go wrong, esp if you invest in a better joystick. Thanks for the comment, Sparky
I am very happy with my Mini, like someone mentioned before some firmware updates improved the latency. Besides with a retrofun adapter you are able to use an oldskool joystsick, I use a Wico red ball and it peforms great on the mini.
that's great to hear. What game are you spending most time on? I'll look into that Wico red ball option, as the supplied joystick was so laggy. Cheers, Sparky
@@thenintendohub3873 My favorites are the Llamasoft classics, Burnin Rubber and Super Pipeline.
Soooo....Subnautica but less fun?
it does pick up when you get into the Solo mode, I think it's a game you need to jump into for half an hour here and there. Really enjoying it at the moment.
this seems like they missed the mark by a lot. from the graphics and the poor movement animations.. why did they miss this up lol. I heard about this a long time ago and thought that it would be awesome, but sadly.. it seems like I'll be saving some money again. I'm really looking for a great switch title that will hook me. - no pun intended
thank so much for the comment and I loved the pun! I made another video on this the day after and I was much more positive after playing more on the solo mode. There is something very relaxing about it. Have a look if you get the chance. Certainly some of the fish models should be better and the sea should be more 'alive' but you do get used to this and enjoy the exploring itself. What's the last title that hooked you in on the Switch?
@@thenintendohub3873 I want to say Zelda BOTW but that hooked everyone who played it. The last switch game i played .. oh roughly 3 months ago (yeah i hardly touch my switch lol) was Kirby and The Forgotten Land. Always loved Kirby games. I'm looking at 57 Switch games on my shelf atm including the 15 or 20 downloaded digitally and none of them catch my attention. Guess I just need to be in the mood.
Endless Ocean Is Back
yep and you know what, I've really been enjoyed playing the solo mode, just pottering around and discovering new fish. I don't think the opening tutorial/ intro sets things up too well, once you get into it and starting diving to the really deep waters, its looks and gets more interesting...
Sparky ... you saved me some dollar ... I was really looking forward to this, but I think I'll pass on it or wait for a sale. It just looks flat and boring compared to something like Abzu, where the swimming is so fluid.
Dex, don't worry it gets better!
@@thenintendohub3873 I'll more than likely hop into in the future. I'm about to embark on my first ever Pokemon game: Arceus.
Being playing more of the Solo mode of the game and it does get as little more immersive...
to be honest you can skip from around 23 - 32 mins as it's part of the tutorial section about scanning and tagging which is a bit boring and I found rather frustrating. We see some bigger fish near the end of the video after this for those interested when I finish the tutorial and begin free play.
Hi Nintendo Hub! Great video showcasing this TV, I actually just got one off of Ebay myself. Perhaps you can help me... My TV just arrived today and it works great and looks identical to yours! However, I noticed I am missing a few buttons that you have, such as the TV/DVD/AV one. And that is where my problem lies. I have the TV set up to my computer with an HDMI to AV converter, and my PC recognizes it as a monitor. However, I don't have the remote and the TV seems to be stuck in the coaxial input, resulting in a blue screen. Everything would be fine if I could switch the TV to the composite input, however, nothing I do seems to work. The menu is quite limited, and I can only change the broadcast channels, rather than the inputs. Don't really know what to do here, any help would be truly appreciated, thanks! Edit: also the tv code is C1310atv
Hi there, thanks for your kind words on the video and great to hear you picked one up! I just took a look at mine and took a picture of the input buttons under the front 'hood' that lifts up. On the far left left of the inputs I have (from left to right) TV/AV/DVD - MENU - VOLUME (1 and plus) - CHANNEL (minus and plus) - PLAY - STOP- EJECT - POWER. What do you have on the far left? I don't think you can change the input from the menu itself. Let me know.
I appreciate the reply! Its almost a week later now and I did a little digging and found its impossible to change the input without a remote (like you said). I found a store on amazon called Redi Remotes and they were selling a custom universal remote for a Disney C1310ATV! And it works perfectly. Also wanted to note there seems to be 2 versions of this TV in circulation. Yours appears to have a DVD tray along with a few extra buttons, but of which mine is lacking. Along with the spoiler, and lightning McQueen UI features (like the eyes on screen). Anyways, appreciate you taking the time to get back to me, excited to continue to CRT journey. @@thenintendohub3873
@@trehnd ah that's fantastic news. And well done for done your research there and finding a solution.

Keep inn touch and let us know what you are playing on it and how you get on.
We DID know about the ZX Spectrum in the US. It just wasn't that successful here.
generally speaking, I believe personal computers were bigger in the UK and Europe, and consoles were bigger in the US - do you agree with this?
@@thenintendohub3873 Maybe once the NES was released that’s true. But before then we all had Apple, Atari, Commodore or Texas Instruments computers. I started on the Atari 800 then got a 130XE when those came out.
If i had to criticise the mini, it'd be I think the keyboard overlay could have been done better-it needs to be bigger and only with essential keys, and not shoved to the side.
100 percent agree. it's just a really afterthought. I wouldn't have minded paying a little extra for this for the better features really such as the joystick. I think this would be the same for most folks.
The newer firmware and the 64 Maxi Tool saved this device. Not enough classic games on the carousel from the factory firmware. And the original joystick should have got the boot for the amiga gamepad out the box, or better gamepad support overall in the firmware, out of the box.
the Amiga gamepad is a great shout - that would have been way better.

Kind of a missed opportunity to not use the "Cars" video game for GameCube as your example. LOL
That would have been great and I thought of that but just didn't have the game! I have spent so much money on retro games recently I just didn't have enough to buy another one! As you say a chance missed there. Thanks for the comment, appreciated.
I dont think the mini are a wasre of time. Yes the maxi has nostalgic factor but a usb key board works just as well i use my c64 mini as a word processor and financial assistant.
That's very cool. I wonder how many other folk around the world are doing the same as you.

But I am sure there are always a few others out there with the same passion doing the same as you! Thanks for the comment and take care.
based on Monty Mole and the music running too fast it seems you're running at NTSC? and I'm guessing you originally gamed in pal? I've read that a lot of the uk stock mini C64's came as NTSC for some reason but there is a way change this if it's a bother
I never considered the PAL/ NTSC, that's really interesting, you're right I did play in PAL originally. That was a huge difference at the time.

How good was that in the day!! This they released a remaster on the Switch not that long ago? But haven't played it. thanks for the comment
I own and still use a commodore64c with the kung fu flash cartridge and it is a joy to use..games load in seconds..poor old commodore cassette player is now redundant...with this setup i see no benefit in using the c64 mini as much as a great bit of kit that it is...
you are absolutely right, that really is the best way to go. What game are you playing the most on it out of interest?
@@thenintendohub3873I have hundreds of games installed on the kung fu sd card...if i had to pick one it would be r-type.
@@thenintendohub3873 oh if i have to pick just one then it would be R-type...i have thousands on the sd card lol
@@doctorsocrates4413 I'm going to pick that up on the Switch, on sale at the moment and looks awesome. Great one to just jump into when you have 15 mins spare. Hope all's well with you, Sparky
It's not a perfect replacement for the original machine. But for nostalgia's sake, it is good enough. Sadly, that exclusive controller it comes with is complete rubbish. It does not feel good to use. Nor is the build quality up to the task of enduring any real hard gaming sessions. I've actually done a tutorial video on how to DIY upgrade it into a stiffer stick that won't snap at the weakest point. But that's like turning a one star rated product into a one-point-one star. Thankfully, the emulation permits for some options, which I highly recommend. Like some of these USB plug in S-NES styled controllers. Just like upgrading an Atari 2600 controller with a Sega Genesis pad. And a USB keyboard. Because, let us face the facts, that virtual screen keyboard is a clunky round-a-bout solution from day one. You can also get a USB memory stick put into the works to add more games. Now with my experience, I had to order one preloaded with everything from E-Bay, as the format used was just not within my PC's standard capacity. With all of these USB devices, you need a powered USB hub to plug it all into. As you really do need that stupid copycat joystick for its interface button set. It also helps to get the OS update, so that new features like multi-disk support are in place. At the end of the day, you are getting an OK emulation box inside a nostalgic case with plenty of upgrade potential. I hear the sequel, the Maxi came with more horsepower and a functional keyboard. But those came out when the world fell apart. Which made finding one in America harder then finding a bar of gold while walking about the neighborhood. On another note, I tried out that Basic interface a couple times and tried typing in some Sprite manipulation program. The emulation proved itself by outright crashing upon trying to run the little program. So, for serious C-64 users, there are far better options. But this isn't too bad for the price tag... once you get away from that poorly made stick.
That's really interesting and thanks for taking such time to comment with some really interesting opinions. What shame about the issues with programming basic, that shouldn't happen. I had a lot of fun drawing sprites onto a grid back in the day and trying to reproduce them with basic. With a decent joystick, as you say you're getting s good enough experience, take care, Sparky
