The '93 to '95 era was one of the few eras where Nintendo was really experimental with their work. You can see why they were hyping up the N64 so much back then.
We really should of had one more Era of 2D games cause man it would of been awesome having all the hits from the snes having n64 like quality of a 2d game like mischief makers or kirbys crystal shards or yoshis story
@jayjayadamo7718 He did little to back the assertion that it was a “weird era”. Besides the Virtualboy, all he gave were examples of peak games on Nintendo’s consoles.
@@mikicerise6250 Nope, nintendo is boring now. They didn't just copy other developers back then, THEY were the leaders not the followers. Now they just do whatever anyone else is doing, making the zelda series turn into another open world sandbox snoozefest like there wasn't enough of those already. And bowser being the main antagonist for mario ever since the mid 80's? If anything, they're more BORING than most other franchises and that's coming from someone who grew up with it and played my first one in the mid 90's. They seemed so creative and awesome back then but as the years go by it's clear they just do the same crap over and over just with different stupid gimmicks, apparently they would rather die then give an actual threatening villain and not some sad turtle that has been beaten 100+ times. Even mario fans know deep down the end climaxes are always completely underwhelming because they've beaten this guy over and over to the point it's like stomping a goomba, and that's even when he turns godzilla sized - when you've re-used a final boss to that degree there's nothing else to do but get rid of him. If they treated him like Dedede in Kirby where he's a mid boss it would be fine, and when he's a playable character in the RPG's he's fine... but as a final boss he already got boring all the way back in 1996 with mario 64. That long ago. At least when dedede is a final boss in Kirby it's like a big twist because he's almost never the final boss. Bowser could NEVER be a twist or exciting final boss, they killed the character through overuse. Shame. Overly long rant over.
@@BareBandSubscription the Gamecube had underperformed so Nintendo was putting out more unique games on the console, and the consoles themselves were different (DS and Wii).
93 to 95 brought us a lot of awesome SNES games. Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Earthbound, and many others. IMO 1994-1995 were golden years of gaming.
Back then I honestly had no idea I was like one of lucky few who actually had earthbound. No I mean I had earthbound but like I thought it was a popular game especially considering Ness was unlockable fighter in the original Super Smash Bros so I just assumed that EarthBound was actually popular. Oh well. I don't even have my SNES anymore which was the console I definitely played the most growing up in the '90s and even played a lot as a teenager in the early 2000s and into my adulthood later on, but I could always just play earthbound on my switch now
This is the era of Nintendo I am most fond of. Reading Nintendo power every month and playing the snes games from the video store. I remember playing virtual boy at blockbuster, it didn’t look very good. Don’t think anyone bought it either. This also was the time ninja turtles stopped being popular. Which sounds a bit strange now.
Honestly, I don't think that type of marketing hurt Earthbound. Gross out humour was big amongst 90's kids. That kind of advertising was appealing at the time. Honestly, the price is probably what really killed it. Bundling it with a guide, made it quite expensive, and factoring in that it was a JRPG back when they weren't that popular, would definitely make it a hard price to get past.
Not really That’s more of a fandom thing The ceo of Sony has said he enjoys Nintendo games also sakurai who works with Nintendo a lot plays PlayStation games and you have the Nintendo collaboration with Sony pictures for the Zelda movie So there really isn’t much bad blood in the companies Just in the fandoms
I mean Nintendo did open up the forbidden door and allowed Sony to put mlb the show on the switch, which is so weird to say because they used to be at war especially not long ago when Nintendo destroyed Sony in the handheld business and Sony destroyed Nintendo in the console business according to sales, not me I’m a fan of both
@@madnessarcade7447 Yeah and I agree with you! The console wars are absolutely pathetic, It doesn't matter what console you have, you're still enjoying the games and having fun with your friends and people around you. 👍🏻
Virtual boy was innovative for the time. It definitely partially inspired the 3ds and the gamecube controller. I have fond memories of playing wario, red alarm and galactic pinball there were some good games among the trash ones. Saying it was hard on the eyes is a colossal understatement though. prolonged play would cause you to go temporarily colour blind where everything was a shade of blue and im 100% sure it caused some of the damage to my eyes. it was still a fun gimmic for the time though
The fact that Nintendo is partnering with Sony Pictures for the Zelda movie is nothing special, this isn't a "Zelda on PlayStation" moment, since Sony Pictures and Sony Computer Entertainment haven nothing to do with each other, aside from being owned by the same corporation. Some people have even described Sony as a sort of feudal kingdom. Just as an example, back in the early 2000s, Sony's computer manufacturer division funded the legal defense of Napster, back when the site was being sued for illegally sharing music files, since people where buying more blank CDs and CD drives. On the other hand, Sony Music Entertainment funded most of the civil suit against Napster, due to how music piracy was affecting them
@@pablocasas5906 Huh that's really interesting and yeah feudal kingdom is a good comparison. I just kind of find any company associated with Sony to be making a film based on one of Sony's longtime competitors highest grossing franchises because something similar lead to the creation of the Playstation itself. But thanks for the neat facts!
They never captured that magic again with any of the other yoshi games. They should have just stopped there. "Oh look, giant baby bowser is the final boss again! How... unexpected?" "Oh look adult bowser is somehow in this game now we have to face him as a giant... and he somehow looks less significantly less threatening than giant baby bowser in the original yoshi's island! Oh no, or something?" I think yoshi's island's final boss was the best bowser boss they ever made, weird that the most intimidating version of him was him as a baby changed by kamek's magic. But you can't just keep doing the same thing because it worked the first time, that was cool because it was unexpected. I genuinely feel like that should have been the last battle we ever had with bowser because I remember when I played mario 64 after I was just so tired of him that there was no sense of climax or excitement in getting to the end... so I was already falling out of love with the mario series way back in 1996 and quit mario games for good after the lazy snoozefest that was mario galaxy 2 since they can't get over their creepy bowser obsession.
I was 18 back in 1994 and read every gaming magazine i could get my hands on. The PlayStation seemed like it could be okay but it also felt like one of those " outsider" companies that wouldn't be in gaming long. Like another NEC, Phillips, Panasonic, etc. The SNES actually outsold the PSX for at least another year as many of us were convinced the N64 would blow it away. Unfortunately for Nintendo, after the launch of the N64, the high price of cartridges, lack of CD quality music and CGI cutscenes, and a lacking library plagued with software droughts made the PlayStation look a lot more appealing.
It's funny watching this. As a kid in this era, I look back with nothing but excitement. These games all made up my childhood. I was lucky to miss the virtual boy until adulthood. I don't know why you made this as if this was a bad time. I always looked at it as a good one. Like not that nintendo was failing but that they were choosing to take their time. Look at the switch today. They have already gone through two generations of consoles and still produce stuff for switch primarily with no new console in sight. To me, that's crazier than the era featured here.
You know, while plenty of people talk about the games released in this period for Nintendo, no one talks about this period as a whole. Glad you've changed that here, Kiro. What an experimental era, indeed.
94-96 was the 'Play it Loud' era for Nintendo, and you can't just lightly mention the Donkey Kong Country games, because, they were the BIGGEST deal for Nintendo back then, with the original Donkey Kong Country selling over 9 million copies in 1994, and the sequels each selling over 5 million the years after, these were huge numbers for their day, and kept Nintendo afloat during the early "3D wars" despite DKC not having real 3D, its 3D techniques were enough to "wow" audiences, even through the beginnings of the Playstation. So yeah, I feel like you're missing the biggest part of Nintendo during this era. Donkey Kong Country and the ACM graphic boom.

Sometimes i sit back and imagine a universe where the Nintendo Playstation was realeased in 1994, being the companies 3D console and how that would affect the timeline, like the following console would probably release 99/00. How does it affect nintendo and its games in the then future
I remember as a kid trying out the Virtual Boy at K-Mart since they had a model you could test. Even as a 12 year old I knew how bad it was and it was one of the few times I was happy my parents couldn't afford it.
The N64. Wow. Good times! Endless parties with goldeneye, smash, 1080, F zero, wave race, mario kart, star fox battle mode, bomberman 4 player battle... Best gaming memories of a lifetime.
I think Nintendo's decision to stick with cartridge format for the N64 was partly their refusal to swallow their pride from the fallout with Sony and the PlayStation behemoth that resulted. They've been playing catchup ever since, and not until the Switch, imo anyway, where they'd get close to their 85-95 glory era.
I've read some rumors that Nintendo stuck with cartridges because they accquire a huge stake in a company that manufactured them I also wouldn't say that Nintendo hasn't managed to recapture their glory days from the NES/Famicom era, while yes, they did have almost total control of the main console industry, the Switch has sold more units and software compared to the NES
Final fantasy 6 was released in 94 and Chrono Trigger was 95. Then we also have Earthbound, fpr the holy 16 bit rpg trinity. This was honestly a golden era for North American JRPG fans, and I remember it as such.
If you want weird the part about Link's Awakening in a developer interview said the game was partially inspired by the show Twin Peaks. Can't get much weirder than that. I also highly recommend watching it for anyone even slightly interested it's a really really good show.
My sophomore through senior year right there. A lot changed really quickly after i graduated. Technology wise. Its like we were just a couple years shy of internet access, cell phone affordability, cds, dvds, camcorders. A lot of stuff around that time started getting outsourced to china which mad tech junk more affordable. Things were expensive in my youth.
The Play It Loud era was my favorite era of Nintendo. It was disappointing to me that they started trending toward a younger demographic by the 2000s. In the 90s, it felt like Nintendo was growing up along side me
It's very strange to hear about games I played as a kid by the next generation. I hope they actually play them and not just read or watch videos about them.
I was thinking this was an oddly specific date range to call out with too many bangers and all time classics to call it a weird era...and then i remembered the boy
@@belstar1128 the Gamecube is 128 bits... how did you think that a console that is much more powerful and recent than the N64 would have half the bits and the same as their handheld console released in the same generation?
If there was for me the oddest period for ANY game company id say it was when 3D was taking over 2D from 1995-2000. You had cameras that never face the angle you wanna jump. They often had a quick and jerky motion which made me sick. Often pixelated graphics. Frustrating jump angles. If you where a gamer who grew up with basic 2D platforming it was REALLY frustrating trying to do angle jumps. I started on super Mario in 1989 and played crash bandicoot, one of my first 3D games in 1997. Now jumps had small pits you never notice untill your right in front of them, being too far to right or left can make you miss a platform right in front of you. It was literally a whole new dimension of frustration and at 13 I had mixed feelings about the 2D to 3D simply because everything I knew was just changed in games. And game designers too where experimenting with what worked in 3D and what didn't with varying results. Some where Amazing like Mario 64 and Zelda ocarina of time. Then on the other side we have bubsy 3D. And then you had mortal Kombat 4 and random pinball games which just didn't seem to belong in 3D at all. Some didn't try at all to be 3D others tried too hard like bubsy and it just bombed. By the Dreamcast/ ps2/GameCube/Xbox generation we had finally learned what worked and what didnt. (Dreamcast was the first imo to get a handle on this new generation but sadly they where gone in 2 years). That gen saw very noticable improvements in all of the above issues.
Can two years even be considered a stand-alone era? I mean, when I talk about the PS2 as the generation where companies (not just Sony) dared to be experimental with their titles, that's a period spanning some 10 years or so.
Sega was working on their VR headset advertising it in alot of Sega related things the back box of the console, magazines They were wise to not put out a sub par product The Lawnmower Man movie had alot of folks dreaming of VR

Honestly the video games is the least of the reasons, the world was legitimately better before 2001, it's gone consistently downhill every year since then for normal people.
1993-1995 was a great era for Nintendo. 1993-1995 was really when Nintendo started to turn the tide on the SNES vs. Genesis console war. So many great games and ideas came from that era. Certainly some misfires like the Virtual Boy and CD-i games.

Where was Killer Instinct at?!

Whether you liked it is totally subjective, but Star Fox moved 4 million units, which was huge for the early 90s. For comparison, the only Genesis games that sold more were Sonic 1 and 2. I’m not saying Starfox is a perfect game, but i thought it was a great game, and it was definitely a big deal for the SNES the year it came out.

For me the weird era was the Nintendo comics idea. That was before sonic proved comic based video games could be successful. I was 8 in 1991 and I read the comics but it just made me want to stop reading and play some Mario. They where trying so hard to make it work. It SHOULD have. But it just didn't click. And then the Mario movie in 93 was just too odd.
I was in school during the console wars. I swear it was a constant fight between Sega and Nintendo. I always preferred nintendo. But when the ps1 was released, while I was still a nintendo fan boy, I recognized what was happening. Nintendo has never bounced back from it. They tried to hang on for a few generations, but then they just said screw it and started getting gimmicky with all the consoles rather than dumping a ton of r&d into hardware in an attempt to play this monster games that you find on xbox/PS/PC. I'm still a Nintendo fan but, I have owned every Nintendo home console, and most of the handhelds and when I want to play a game Nintendo can't handle, I just use my beast computer that makes both Playstation and Xbox look like trash haha I've also owned most of the box's. I'll give them one thing, they sure as hell got the controller right. It's perfect. Probably why Nintendo ripped it off haha

Are you kidding, man Nintendo was Poppin Off during the 90's.. between SNES and just before N64 came out I feel like Nintendo was only found in the homes of people that could afford it lol. It had an edge with better graphics and sound effects but SEGA took it to the next level with gameplay.. You could have the same exact title, but two totally different games to play, with the Genesis always trumping over the SNES and that's what made the SEGA so memorable
3:35 you made a pretty big mistake: mother 3 released in 2006 while mother 1 released in 1989 and it still wasn't localized in 1993 you basically confused mother 3 with mother 1(localized in 2016 as earthbound beginnings)
I don’t know how weird the era was…. Nintendo did away with its kiddie marketing and bloodless game philosophy. The “Play it Loud” campaign won. MK2 on snes >>> MK2 on Genesis. Nintendo had a barrage of top notch and mature themed RPGs. In the past, RPGs in the states were a sideshow and generally not AAA material. Square and Enix went bananas during this period and only released on SNES. Nintendo moved right in on segas mature territory and ate their lunch. Also… DKC happened.
Back when nintendo was an interesting company that made interesting and creative games. By mid 2000's they must have lost a lot of people that really made the games what they were, because Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (though I liked some of Mario Galaxy 1 and 2's music tracks they felt they should have been for a much more deserving game)
Haven't really grasp if Nintendo's marketing strategy is good or bad. I mean Nintendo kinda have it's own thing, they clearly try to avoid this competition between Sony and Microsoft. Ofcourse i can see the upsides of dropping out of that mess and just do your own thing, but they still have so many popular trade marks that maybe they should make a really powerfull console that can run these modern games and on top of that they could release new Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc. games.
The '93 to '95 era was one of the few eras where Nintendo was really experimental with their work.
You can see why they were hyping up the N64 so much back then.
nice Claus pfp
It was ultra 64.
Almost as experimental as the GameCube era
We really should of had one more Era of 2D games cause man it would of been awesome having all the hits from the snes having n64 like quality of a 2d game like mischief makers or kirbys crystal shards or yoshis story
93-95 was a peak period, not a weird period.
@jayjayadamo7718 He did little to back the assertion that it was a “weird era”. Besides the Virtualboy, all he gave were examples of peak games on Nintendo’s consoles.
Agreed, he is a clown.
Yea I wouldn't describe those years as not being bad or good like he said those were the years you were lucky to experience as a kid growing up
Indeed, we got peak SNES games like Yoshi's Island and the DK Country series
@jayjayadamo7718 It can, but he also said it wasn't a good or bad era. It was definitely some of their best years.
Dude says it as if that doesn't apply to every Nintendo era.
For real. Nintendo has always been weird. Part of its charm.
@@mikicerise6250 Nope, nintendo is boring now. They didn't just copy other developers back then, THEY were the leaders not the followers. Now they just do whatever anyone else is doing, making the zelda series turn into another open world sandbox snoozefest like there wasn't enough of those already. And bowser being the main antagonist for mario ever since the mid 80's? If anything, they're more BORING than most other franchises and that's coming from someone who grew up with it and played my first one in the mid 90's. They seemed so creative and awesome back then but as the years go by it's clear they just do the same crap over and over just with different stupid gimmicks, apparently they would rather die then give an actual threatening villain and not some sad turtle that has been beaten 100+ times. Even mario fans know deep down the end climaxes are always completely underwhelming because they've beaten this guy over and over to the point it's like stomping a goomba, and that's even when he turns godzilla sized - when you've re-used a final boss to that degree there's nothing else to do but get rid of him.
If they treated him like Dedede in Kirby where he's a mid boss it would be fine, and when he's a playable character in the RPG's he's fine... but as a final boss he already got boring all the way back in 1996 with mario 64. That long ago. At least when dedede is a final boss in Kirby it's like a big twist because he's almost never the final boss. Bowser could NEVER be a twist or exciting final boss, they killed the character through overuse. Shame. Overly long rant over.
I think the 2004-2008 era was weird too with a lot more experimentation and soul searching.
I remember owning a PSP around that time

I remember playing virtual boy at blockbuster, it didn’t look very good. Don’t think anyone bought it either. This also was the time ninja turtles stopped being popular. Which sounds a bit strange now.
This may sound like a topic nobody would care about, but, can u do a video on the history of physics in games? Like, hair physics and cape physics.
I like this idea
there was a time in the early 2000s when you could get a card for your pc that just improved physics
I’d like to see a video on fall damage in video games too.
Honestly, I don't think that type of marketing hurt Earthbound. Gross out humour was big amongst 90's kids. That kind of advertising was appealing at the time.
Honestly, the price is probably what really killed it. Bundling it with a guide, made it quite expensive, and factoring in that it was a JRPG back when they weren't that popular, would definitely make it a hard price to get past.
and the bad blood between Nintendo and sony is still somewhat strong to this day
Not really
That’s more of a fandom thing
The ceo of Sony has said he enjoys Nintendo games also sakurai who works with Nintendo a lot plays PlayStation games and you have the Nintendo collaboration with Sony pictures for the Zelda movie
So there really isn’t much bad blood in the companies
Just in the fandoms
I mean Nintendo did open up the forbidden door and allowed Sony to put mlb the show on the switch, which is so weird to say because they used to be at war especially not long ago when Nintendo destroyed Sony in the handheld business and Sony destroyed Nintendo in the console business according to sales, not me I’m a fan of both
@@madnessarcade7447 Yeah and I agree with you! The console wars are absolutely pathetic, It doesn't matter what console you have, you're still enjoying the games and having fun with your friends and people around you. 👍🏻
They are also collaborating to make the Zelda movie
@@traviscunningham7062 Oh yeah!
Virtual boy was innovative for the time. It definitely partially inspired the 3ds and the gamecube controller. I have fond memories of playing wario, red alarm and galactic pinball there were some good games among the trash ones. Saying it was hard on the eyes is a colossal understatement though. prolonged play would cause you to go temporarily colour blind where everything was a shade of blue and im 100% sure it caused some of the damage to my eyes. it was still a fun gimmic for the time though
And now 32 (almost 33) years later and Sony is currently producing the Legend of Zelda movie in collaboration with Nintendo.
The fact that Nintendo is partnering with Sony Pictures for the Zelda movie is nothing special, this isn't a "Zelda on PlayStation" moment, since Sony Pictures and Sony Computer Entertainment haven nothing to do with each other, aside from being owned by the same corporation. Some people have even described Sony as a sort of feudal kingdom. Just as an example, back in the early 2000s, Sony's computer manufacturer division funded the legal defense of Napster, back when the site was being sued for illegally sharing music files, since people where buying more blank CDs and CD drives. On the other hand, Sony Music Entertainment funded most of the civil suit against Napster, due to how music piracy was affecting them
@@pablocasas5906 Huh that's really interesting and yeah feudal kingdom is a good comparison. I just kind of find any company associated with Sony to be making a film based on one of Sony's longtime competitors highest grossing franchises because something similar lead to the creation of the Playstation itself.
But thanks for the neat facts!
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate it!
Don’t forget about Yoshi’s Island, that was 1995, and that games amazing
They never captured that magic again with any of the other yoshi games. They should have just stopped there. "Oh look, giant baby bowser is the final boss again! How... unexpected?" "Oh look adult bowser is somehow in this game now we have to face him as a giant... and he somehow looks less significantly less threatening than giant baby bowser in the original yoshi's island! Oh no, or something?"
I think yoshi's island's final boss was the best bowser boss they ever made, weird that the most intimidating version of him was him as a baby changed by kamek's magic. But you can't just keep doing the same thing because it worked the first time, that was cool because it was unexpected. I genuinely feel like that should have been the last battle we ever had with bowser because I remember when I played mario 64 after I was just so tired of him that there was no sense of climax or excitement in getting to the end... so I was already falling out of love with the mario series way back in 1996 and quit mario games for good after the lazy snoozefest that was mario galaxy 2 since they can't get over their creepy bowser obsession.
My favorite era of Nintendo.
Same 💯
I was 18 back in 1994 and read every gaming magazine i could get my hands on.
The PlayStation seemed like it could be okay but it also felt like one of those " outsider" companies that wouldn't be in gaming long. Like another NEC, Phillips, Panasonic, etc.
The SNES actually outsold the PSX for at least another year as many of us were convinced the N64 would blow it away.
Unfortunately for Nintendo, after the launch of the N64, the high price of cartridges, lack of CD quality music and CGI cutscenes, and a lacking library plagued with software droughts made the PlayStation look a lot more appealing.
Well, at least this era gave us Morshu
Nintendo: ditches Sony 😂
Sony: "and i took that personally!" 😡
It's funny watching this. As a kid in this era, I look back with nothing but excitement. These games all made up my childhood. I was lucky to miss the virtual boy until adulthood. I don't know why you made this as if this was a bad time. I always looked at it as a good one. Like not that nintendo was failing but that they were choosing to take their time. Look at the switch today. They have already gone through two generations of consoles and still produce stuff for switch primarily with no new console in sight. To me, that's crazier than the era featured here.
Next video you should talk about games that were hated when they came out but now are love like Fnaf world
I've actually had an idea for a video like that for awhile now, just haven't got around to it.
now we love? speak for yourself
You know, while plenty of people talk about the games released in this period for Nintendo, no one talks about this period as a whole. Glad you've changed that here, Kiro. What an experimental era, indeed.
Kirby's Adventure (NES) , Wario's Woods (NES), and Donckey Kong 94 (GB) are in my top 10 favorite games all time. What a wonderful Nintendo period.
Kiro talks my beloved
I was 8, 9, and 10 during those years. You’re talking about my formative childhood years. I had all the things.
94-96 was the 'Play it Loud' era for Nintendo, and you can't just lightly mention the Donkey Kong Country games, because, they were the BIGGEST deal for Nintendo back then, with the original Donkey Kong Country selling over 9 million copies in 1994, and the sequels each selling over 5 million the years after, these were huge numbers for their day, and kept Nintendo afloat during the early "3D wars" despite DKC not having real 3D, its 3D techniques were enough to "wow" audiences, even through the beginnings of the Playstation.
So yeah, I feel like you're missing the biggest part of Nintendo during this era. Donkey Kong Country and the ACM graphic boom.

im surprised you didnt mention the 1993 mario movie lmao
Yeah I probably should've mentioned it lol This video was more focused on the games but the Mario movie was pretty wild
Sometimes i sit back and imagine a universe where the Nintendo Playstation was realeased in 1994, being the companies 3D console and how that would affect the timeline, like the following console would probably release 99/00. How does it affect nintendo and its games in the then future
The weird era is where my earliest memories began.
I remember as a kid trying out the Virtual Boy at K-Mart since they had a model you could test. Even as a 12 year old I knew how bad it was and it was one of the few times I was happy my parents couldn't afford it.
The N64. Wow. Good times! Endless parties with goldeneye, smash, 1080, F zero, wave race, mario kart, star fox battle mode, bomberman 4 player battle... Best gaming memories of a lifetime.
I think Nintendo's decision to stick with cartridge format for the N64 was partly their refusal to swallow their pride from the fallout with Sony and the PlayStation behemoth that resulted. They've been playing catchup ever since, and not until the Switch, imo anyway, where they'd get close to their 85-95 glory era.
I've read some rumors that Nintendo stuck with cartridges because they accquire a huge stake in a company that manufactured them
I also wouldn't say that Nintendo hasn't managed to recapture their glory days from the NES/Famicom era, while yes, they did have almost total control of the main console industry, the Switch has sold more units and software compared to the NES
The 93-95 era was when I played snes and Genesis all day. Such a great time in my life.
Final fantasy 6 was released in 94 and Chrono Trigger was 95. Then we also have Earthbound, fpr the holy 16 bit rpg trinity. This was honestly a golden era for North American JRPG fans, and I remember it as such.
sega intro: SAYYYYY---GUHHHHHH
this guy: sehgguh
If you want weird the part about Link's Awakening in a developer interview said the game was partially inspired by the show Twin Peaks. Can't get much weirder than that. I also highly recommend watching it for anyone even slightly interested it's a really really good show.
My sophomore through senior year right there. A lot changed really quickly after i graduated. Technology wise. Its like we were just a couple years shy of internet access, cell phone affordability, cds, dvds, camcorders. A lot of stuff around that time started getting outsourced to china which mad tech junk more affordable. Things were expensive in my youth.
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade mentioned RAHHHH 🔥🔥🔥
I played a virtual boy at my local blockbuster video. They had it set up along with a Saturn and PlayStation
The Play It Loud era was my favorite era of Nintendo. It was disappointing to me that they started trending toward a younger demographic by the 2000s. In the 90s, it felt like Nintendo was growing up along side me
Was a good era for me. I never thought it was weird.
He forgot to mention that Nintendo Power, the magazine, was at its peak during these years.
It's very strange to hear about games I played as a kid by the next generation. I hope they actually play them and not just read or watch videos about them.
I was thinking this was an oddly specific date range to call out with too many bangers and all time classics to call it a weird era...and then i remembered the boy
3:26 - Roy debuted in Smash Bros. Melee to advertise the upcoming Fire Emblem game.
Earthbound's original release was a box set for $70. Thank goodness for blockbuster.
the early 2000s for certain long-running shonen manga
Good stuff. Good video. Subbed for more.
I miss when companies are brave enough to take risk for their new products. They are playing way too safe nowadays.
I love me some Nintendo.
Otherwise known as Nintendo didn’t have a true 32bit console so performed a ton of experiments in the SNES lab to compensate
The game cube and gba were 32 bit but came out after the n64 lmao .

@belstar you sure about that

@@lucdubois3927 seriously?
Funny how Earthbound graphics hold up way better than the 3D games that overshadowed it at the time.
Yoshi's Island had an even worse marketing campaign than Earthbound tbh
If there was for me the oddest period for ANY game company id say it was when 3D was taking over 2D from 1995-2000. You had cameras that never face the angle you wanna jump. They often had a quick and jerky motion which made me sick. Often pixelated graphics. Frustrating jump angles. If you where a gamer who grew up with basic 2D platforming it was REALLY frustrating trying to do angle jumps. I started on super Mario in 1989 and played crash bandicoot, one of my first 3D games in 1997. Now jumps had small pits you never notice untill your right in front of them, being too far to right or left can make you miss a platform right in front of you. It was literally a whole new dimension of frustration and at 13 I had mixed feelings about the 2D to 3D simply because everything I knew was just changed in games. And game designers too where experimenting with what worked in 3D and what didn't with varying results. Some where Amazing like Mario 64 and Zelda ocarina of time. Then on the other side we have bubsy 3D. And then you had mortal Kombat 4 and random pinball games which just didn't seem to belong in 3D at all. Some didn't try at all to be 3D others tried too hard like bubsy and it just bombed. By the Dreamcast/ ps2/GameCube/Xbox generation we had finally learned what worked and what didnt. (Dreamcast was the first imo to get a handle on this new generation but sadly they where gone in 2 years). That gen saw very noticable improvements in all of the above issues.
Earthbound's sprites are impressive imo
Can two years even be considered a stand-alone era? I mean, when I talk about the PS2 as the generation where companies (not just Sony) dared to be experimental with their titles, that's a period spanning some 10 years or so.
You should do a video on the other weird era….the 2002-2005 “Who are you?” Era
Those ads really made me wish i was born 10 years earlier gaming in 2002 was not for kids .
9:52 if it’s any consolation the virtual boy is the reason why VR is so big today
So Nintendo was ahead of the curve
no it isnt
Sega was working on their VR headset advertising it in alot of Sega related things the back box of the console, magazines
They were wise to not put out a sub par product
The Lawnmower Man movie had alot of folks dreaming of VR
Imagine seeing the crisp 3d graphics of Playstation and thinking that making the Virtual Boy was a good idea.

That game was THE reason I bought a snes in 94
Was a Genesis kid until KI entered our loves
Wish I still had my Killer Cuts cd all these years later
Sure Super Metroid an DKC released as well but DKC was rental status to me, could be beat in few hours.. granted was a teen by them who beat alot of tough nes era games leading up to that point
I played a Virtual Boy demo inside of Sears 😂
Star Fox was never the biggest nor the most memorable game for SNES. We saw the potential but that game was far too flawed.
Whether you liked it is totally subjective, but Star Fox moved 4 million units, which was huge for the early 90s. For comparison, the only Genesis games that sold more were Sonic 1 and 2. I’m not saying Starfox is a perfect game, but i thought it was a great game, and it was definitely a big deal for the SNES the year it came out.

All of Nintendo’s history was Weird. Since 1889. Fight me.
For me the weird era was the Nintendo comics idea. That was before sonic proved comic based video games could be successful. I was 8 in 1991 and I read the comics but it just made me want to stop reading and play some Mario. They where trying so hard to make it work. It SHOULD have. But it just didn't click. And then the Mario movie in 93 was just too odd.
1994 was the best year for the Super Nintendo. No debate.
No mention of Killer Instinct?
The whole 90s was great for nintendo. Not a ‘weird period’ the super nintendo & N64 had some of their best games to date..
I was in school during the console wars. I swear it was a constant fight between Sega and Nintendo. I always preferred nintendo. But when the ps1 was released, while I was still a nintendo fan boy, I recognized what was happening. Nintendo has never bounced back from it. They tried to hang on for a few generations, but then they just said screw it and started getting gimmicky with all the consoles rather than dumping a ton of r&d into hardware in an attempt to play this monster games that you find on xbox/PS/PC. I'm still a Nintendo fan but, I have owned every Nintendo home console, and most of the handhelds and when I want to play a game Nintendo can't handle, I just use my beast computer that makes both Playstation and Xbox look like trash haha I've also owned most of the box's. I'll give them one thing, they sure as hell got the controller right. It's perfect. Probably why Nintendo ripped it off haha
How many new people would you like to attract into gaming?

Are you kidding, man Nintendo was Poppin Off during the 90's.. between SNES and just before N64 came out I feel like Nintendo was only found in the homes of people that could afford it lol.
It had an edge with better graphics and sound effects but SEGA took it to the next level with gameplay.. You could have the same exact title, but two totally different games to play, with the Genesis always trumping over the SNES and that's what made the SEGA so memorable
3:35 you made a pretty big mistake: mother 3 released in 2006 while mother 1 released in 1989 and it still wasn't localized in 1993
you basically confused mother 3 with mother 1(localized in 2016 as earthbound beginnings)
3:28 “Umm actually the first game Roy ever appeared in was Super Smash Bros. Melee 🤓”
Imagine if Nintendo and Sony did a joint project 😮
I think you mean the “Play It Loud” era. Still weird though!
Pause at 3:00 😅
What about Part 2?
I don’t know how weird the era was…. Nintendo did away with its kiddie marketing and bloodless game philosophy. The “Play it Loud” campaign won. MK2 on snes >>> MK2 on Genesis. Nintendo had a barrage of top notch and mature themed RPGs. In the past, RPGs in the states were a sideshow and generally not AAA material. Square and Enix went bananas during this period and only released on SNES. Nintendo moved right in on segas mature territory and ate their lunch. Also… DKC happened.
Nintendo right before Pokémon and N64. Interesting.
Gameboy vs Game gear is literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb
Chrono trigger, ff3. secret of mana. Super Metroid
Back when nintendo was an interesting company that made interesting and creative games. By mid 2000's they must have lost a lot of people that really made the games what they were, because Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (though I liked some of Mario Galaxy 1 and 2's music tracks they felt they should have been for a much more deserving game)
Haven't really grasp if Nintendo's marketing strategy is good or bad. I mean Nintendo kinda have it's own thing, they clearly try to avoid this competition between Sony and Microsoft. Ofcourse i can see the upsides of dropping out of that mess and just do your own thing, but they still have so many popular trade marks that maybe they should make a really powerfull console that can run these modern games and on top of that they could release new Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc. games.
93/94 are some of the best years for gaming. Get outta here
