Captain N: The Game Master (Everything You Didn't Know) | SYFY WIRE - Розваги
I'm not going to lie. I want to see a Captain N the game master reboot. Done with better story telling and narrative with characters more true to their video game counterparts.
I'm shocked Netflix didn't think of this.
Word!
This needs to be done
You're getting Captain Laserhawk. It's inspired by this. And it's coming to Netflix.
Syfy should do best 80s cartoon series jem and the holograms 😊
Simon's head always reminded me of Egon from the Ghostbusters Cartoon!!
Only mentioned Link as a cameo for the Captain N show, but there was a Legend of Zelda show as well with more of that character and his Catchphrase "excu~se me princess"
At least Link wasn't constantly saying, "well excuuuuuuuuse me princess!"
Hey at least the Zelda cartoon wasn't all yOu CaN mAkE mE dO tHe DuCk WaLk! COOL, huh?? Oh boy! Golly! HOW ABOUT A KISS???
Actually... They had a crossover episode with the zelda cartoon. So yes, link WAS saying that.
@@329link yep 🤣🤣
He matured since then thank Nayru for that!
@@329link 😯
I used to love this show back in the day
Same❤
I was a huge Nintendo fan growing up and I loved this show. Thank you sci-fi for doing a video on this show!
same here i first saw this cartoon in 1990 i was 6 it was my first cartoon that i saw on nbc a firend in my neighborhood had the first season on vhs tapes i was 7 at the time too bad syfy didn't do gravedale high
Before Wreck-It Ralph
before smash ultimate
Captain N did video game crossovers
>didn't know who Samus was
>includes the final boss from the same game in the show
????
"I thought his name was Metroid."
samus being a female was a major twist back then. you had to beat the game in under and hour and a half to find out
Mother brain was final boss.samus is a bounty hunter
He was probably told to use the character and had no clue what Mother brain was from.
@@godmagnus lmao!
This could be done, especially since Smash Bros. is big too. I saw a video someone made of this idea too.
"Captain N: Their World's Champion"
Captain N a better isekai then Sword Art Online
Ligtning Dog hahahahahahahhaha
Captain N for Super Smash Bros
whenever they do a poll for new characters for SSB, I always write in Captain N. XD
@@sirdaveysockrocker me too
Or just a mii costume would be cool.
yeah put me in there.
legit the ONLY non video game character who belongs in Smash....well him and Nester....
I'm kinda surprised Captain N isn't in Smash beyond Duck Hunt's moveset (yes he's the shooter)
Is he?
WE need a new version of this
As a child one thing that irked me was how detailed and fluid cartoon intro sequences were, compared to the actual animation. Smh I felt so deceived by those japanese, & korean studios.
Instead of Simon Belmont.. They should have added Jimmy and Billy Lee from Double Dragon...
Or the brothers from River City Ransom or Bad Dudes
@arbereshe perhaps.... But also back in the 80's and 90's most things were pretty sheltered...
I remember when MK 1st came out it was on the news for like a week because of how graphic it was... But at the same time NYPD Blue and Law n Order were the #1 shows @ that time and they were filled with harsh language and violence..... Go figure
There almost was a Double Dragon cartoon series that was meant to be part of the Super Mario Bros. Power Hour but it got scrapped. So, I doubt it would have been too violent.
I'm pretty sure that at one point Princess Lana was supposed to be Palutena.
That would explain why kid icarus was with them all the tims
Nice costume! You know, if you think about it, Captain N did the whole Video Game crossover thing LONG before Super Smash Bros. or even Marvel Vs. Capcom!
Take a shot every time she reminds you that this show was created to sell Nintendo products.
Imagine if Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad made a cross over with Captain N: that would have been awesome.
Would be more awesome if Samus made an appearance as Mother Brain is the main antogonist
@@sinfulkivisian20 I also agree. I guess the creators just didn't know about Samus.
@Ronald Nygma did not know they had a comic series. Interesting🤔🤔👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@Ronald Nygma Who, Samus? I know she did. And Lana was CRAZY jealous about it.
I chose Simon as my favourite N Team member too, because he's ridiculous and just a klutz which is somehow entertaining for me.
You completely ignore Saturday Supercade, a game-themed programming block from the early 80s. Captain N and SMB Super Show were far from the first.
I came here to say this. SUPERCADE!!
Burger Time never had an animated series, and the closest we got was the Captain N characters in costumes.
With all the reboots nowadays I wouldn't mind seeing a reboot of this! Maybe with the characters being more like their game counterparts.
I may be too young to have seen Captain N because I didn't know what a cartoon was until 1995 but Jackie Jennings is beautiful.
She fine AF.....so beautiful
Love Captain N! I hope he makes it into Smash in some way! I'd be ok with a 4* spirit. Better as a fighter though lol.
I kind of wish she would've worn the Princess Lana costume instead
Just let it awaken something in you.
I actually started watching this show at 13 and i wasn't born in the 90s or 80s
It’s too bad that Warner Bros. can create a live action movie for Captain N and Freakazoid dexter Douglas, but instead we got ready player one which doesn’t stick with the source material !
Some of the final episodes in season three didnt even have fully colored backgrounds.. some scenes only have ink drawings lol
Kristopher Hebert maybe it’s the GameBoy world LOL.
A classic & wild series.
So awesome various talents were a part of this
My favorite crossover was with Legend of Zelda. A two part episode. Sadly it was the series finale. But it did connect the world's, and the villains were incredible to see in this series.
actually the series finale was set in the world of Final Fantasy 1
you should do an episode about how the sci fi channel paved the way for japanimation (anime) to become mainstream in the US.
Love this!! Still got my dvd set
This video explains why cartoons are so different nowadays: By law video game companies are forbidden to use cartoons to get in your head to sell toys.
I miss the 90's!
:(
Forgot Pacman, the entirety of the Saturday supercade and Samus Aran
still waiting for Captain N to come to smash bros so my saturday morning can be complete!
Even a mii costume would be cool.
I just wish they would have used more notable NES games in the series. I mean seriously, a Bayou Billy episode? Come on...
So... it's the Nintendo Cinematic Universe? Yeah, something like that could never catch on...
I recognize Garry Chalk doing the voice of Donkey Kong in Captain N.
Ironically he went on to play Optimus Primal in MainFrame Animation's 1996 Beast Wars.
Ian James Corlett, and Venus Terzo, both worked with Garry on Beast Wars.
Saw this cartoon series when I was 6 in 1990 until I was 7 in 1991 on NBC at the time great cartoon series 😊
For some reason I always thought that Princess Lana was based off Tiffany Amber Theissen(Kelly Kapowski), but I don't know which series came out first.
I remember watching the show and not wanting to miss it every Saturday morning because this was the first cartoon that really showcase popular Nintendo characters / heroes.... I actually still like this show I found the DVD box at a little over 10 years ago on eBay for about 40 bucks but now I think it's even higher than that now.
Even as a kid I knew Megaman looked weird, but I still loved this show, if only for the awesome 8-bit sound effects, and the childhood dream that I TOO, might be sucked into videogame land ^_^
If you want to see more of the live action actor who played Kevin he is also in The New Lassie (Season 2 Eps.11) you can watch it on youtube he plays Jamie Hoff.
The biggest thing this show got wrong was that they used the Link from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Zelda series, but didn't have him say "Excuuuuuuse me, Princess" even once.
8:20
That's because it's the Link from the Legend of Zelda cartoon.
It was suppose to be a crossover between the two shows
Nice video! As a fan of Captain N, I had no idea about the Buddy Boy stuff. That's very interesting! However, you left out a couple of details...
Alessandro Juliani (the voice of Pit/Kid Icarus) did the English dub voice of L, in Death Note! Also, Ian James Corlett (the voice of Dr. Wily) was the first voice of Goku, in the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Z.
How could you leave out the voice of Captain N? It was Matt Hill who went out to play ED from ED, EDD, EDDY
I had more fun watching her explain the show than I did watching the show when it 1st aired, but I did tune in at the time and even followed the comic book mentioned for a while
The worst adaption was Megaman, follow closely by Alucard.
The best character was Mother Brain.
Yeah they turned Alucard into Corey Feldman, and Megaman into Mickey from Rocky
I rewatched quest for power episode and noticed something, it was the Ganon episode, I would comment on it but can't since it's disabled but I wonder if they were planning on replacing Motherbrain with Ganon as the villain and she would be the henchman cause of how the ending went but then the next episode it's motherbrain as the main villain.
It's hilarious now cause Ganon is the big bad.
agreed i remember that cartoon
I don't think they'll ever be labeled to do a adaptation of the Metroid franchise without Samus Aran ever again.
I loved this show as a kid, I remember insisting my parents get me New Balance sneakers because I thought they were Captain N shoes lol
dear Sakurai....
Please make a Captain N mii costume in smash ultimate
Thank you for remembering Kid Video. It was a weird show, but sad that it only was so short.
My take on it all is that i want a Captain N game now with as big a world as Zelda BOTW but in N's world, but instead of dungeons he visits all these games from the show but in the their video game form from today.
One of my favorite cartoons.
Great Stuff!
Watched it every day.....
When the 8bit nin was popular.....
Loved this show as a kid!
9:01
These walls are protected by some kind of MEGA magic!
When I bought _Captain N: The Game Master_ on DVD (and by extension, its 3rd season on _Super Mario World),_ I recognized Lana as Venus Terzo who I know more as *girl-type Ranma Saotome* So when I listen to one character, I cannot unhear the other
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid
Captain N will never die
She can come over and be my captain N. Looking cute AF in the captain N attire.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Wow, this one was a blast from my past. I like movies/shows that reference video games. Captain N and Wreck it Ralph.
I remember as a kid opening up my orange Zapper and taking out the wire that plugged into the NES because I wanted to be like Kevin.
I'm so glad she mentioned the Motown legend Levi Stubbs
You forgot to mention that Matt Hill (Kevin) also went on to voice Ed from Ed, Edd N Eddy
Captain N for Smash Bros. Ultimate!! ^^
I LOVED this show as a kid, watched it every morning on NBC -- even played Bayou Billy because of the show...which was unfortunate.
Upon rewatch, I can't bring myself to hate it, it's like a Drawn Together version of Nintendo characters, and it was a blast for the time, you just had to be there.
LMAO! A crocodile named Loafer. That's dark. 🤣
Ha true but it does have a double meaning.
I miss this cartoon so much.
4:32 I used to be like how can you call someone that don't know how to fight King Hippo a Game Master? lol
Big fan of this show back in the day, amazing crossovers! Did anyone else tie a controller around their waist?
I have to say ..I was sucked into wanting more Nintendo games that was on the show ..Also it did made being a Kid gamer much more awesome ..Great Video
i remember this cartoon i saw it when i was 7 in 1991 on nbc and i remember seeing super mario super show on family channel in 1991 when i was 7 at the time
I watched every single one of these video-game cartoons quite religiously, when I was a lad.
I had noted the major differences from their in-game counterparts (including Samus's questionable absence)...
But honestly, I was just glad to see my favorite sprites animated on the telly.
"Super. Mario. Brothers.... THREE!"👋📺
I'm 34, i was just old enough to catch it around the end, it would come on real early in the morning, some time after Video Power (look into it, heck i use it's logo for my avatar). Simon is the worst of the characters.
Gameboy reminds me of Scooter from Challenge Of The Gobots.
I loved this show.
The captain N comics were awesome.
I’m in love with this woman 😍
I loved this show it was great 💯
god Bless the Four Tops lead Singer Levi Stubbs as the voice of Mother Brain.
One of the episodes featured Simon going into a world where a group of robbers are stopped by a ninja. I'm guessing that was supposed to be the Ninja Gaiden world?
what's wrong with this video's audio? can hardly hear it-had to put it to full blast to get to normal volume
Wow... The memories.
That's a good Captain N cosplay.
Simon in that show was awesome, lol
Actually the idea of being portal to the video game world and being trapped came from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.
The D&D cartoon wasn't a in a video game world.
Megaman at least got his own series.
I was obsessed with Captain N and my NES as a little boy. Finding a smart and funny girl talking about that makes my soul and inner child smile. I gonna check this channel, maybe its always this good...
she talked about Kidd Video, being inspiration, which i never even heard of that show
but. . .
Dungeons and Dragons
might not have been about a video game
but it was a bunch of kids being "sucked into" the game world and having to find their way out.
so it was kind of the same concept, except it wasn't a commercial for the products, given that d&d products is mostly just the rulebooks
d&d players also buy dice and miniatures, but those were mostly manufactured by third parties.
I used to love this show was a kid! it's a pity the brazilian's version are lost....;__;
Princess Lana was hot!
MegaMan is the colorset used on the original box cover.
i have : master system collection, playstation 1, playstation 2, psp, ,xbox 360, snes and nintendo 64.
Also, I think DIC did the animation to another classic video game translated to Television In the form of Double Dragon. I freaking love this cartoon! It was way more involved than the standard side-scrolling button-mashing video game! Plus the Double Dragon Brothers has killer Superhero inspired costumes and cool looking vehicles! The Double Dragon Cartoon Series was the right amount of dumb to fun!
A++ for referencing Kidd Video.
I LOVE Captain N. As you can see. They need to make a Captain N the Game Master VIDEO GAME.
