Game Tapes 05: Wanna Buy Some B-Roll?

People don't know this about me, but I love tapes.

EDIT: Never really liked the N64 even back in the day, and boy these games look rough.

EDIT2: Pokéman

We got that B-Roll!

A conference for the GBA-SP, count me in!

Some hot, premium, Pokemon Snap content.

GAME TAPES ARE THE BEST TAPES!

Seriously this and Demo Derby are two of my favorite segments. VIVA LA TAPES!

Anyone else watching this on Roku and noticing the audio is out of sync?

@spaceleech: There's a threas about it on the Bug Reporting forum on the site I think.

Anyways, really looking forward to this! Well over two hours, happy times.

@drewbert Herbst is German for fall ;)

Surprise Game Tapes!! And a long one too.

Ooohhhh, some video nasties...

Also I'm not totally sure if you can find it anymore. But at some point Ryan streamed some Pokemon Snap out of his home on Twitch.

Honestly that 60 frames makes a big difference. Great job!

I love when GB dives into the history of videogames and the stories surrounding them. The Bombcast was fantastic this week and now we get one of these. Thanks guys.

Surprise weekend content is some of my favourite content. I did not notice this was coming up if it was on the docket, but I'm super happy that it's here. Roll tapes!

The first segment contains a lot of gameboy games. Some of the gameboy color palette stuff mentioned is explained in "The Ultimate Game Boy Talk" (33c3), which I highly recommend.

pokeman

All the Pees. Dem cameras phat.

Brad never saw Pokemon Snap...? I'm like really surprised for some reason.

What a weird cool game.

The Cutting Room Floor page for The New Tetris is some real wild stuff https://tcrf.net/The_New_Tetris

I miss tapes. sort of

The GBA SP was my first videogame system, and it was awesome. I clocked something like 500 hours across three saves in Pokemon FireRed Version, borrowed my friend's Advance Wars 2 cartridge a bunch, and at some point I picked up a copy of Pokemon Yellow and wondered why it was so similar to Pokemon FireRed...

Also, I much prefer the AGS-001 to the AGS-010 redesign: the always-backlit panel on the 010 looks nicer some of the time, but the frontlight-on-or-off screen on the 001 looked way better in sunlight and you could get the battery to last for 12 hours or something ridiculous.

That proto-esports tape is kind of amazing...

Kinda surprised Brad says he's never even seen Pokemon Snap, but considering he never played Paper Mario TYD, I'm guessing he just wasn't big on Nintendo games or something?

Those.... controllers are plugged on ports 3 and 4. That's not how you videogame.

Oh man that music in the Korean tape. It's in every tech news segment in the 90s.

I could listen to Jeff talk about the behind-the-scenes stuff of the Gamespot days, forever.

If I had any video talent, that short clip at 1:55:49 would make a superb transition with Jeff's face edited in.

Pokemon Snap: More safari, less track.

The battery life of the Game Boy Advance SP puts the Nintendo Switch to shame. Wow, the World Cyber Games kept going until 2013.

The 1080pees makes our hosts look strangely thinner. Good job!

To answer their question about if anything was different about Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, it has the SMB2(Japan) stages in addition to the first game.

@brad Liquid's arm was actually psychically affecting Ocelot. Ocelot is the son of the ghost guy from MGS3 (The Sorrow) so it affected his psyche. When he realized this he replaced the arm with a fake arm and hypnotized himself to believe it was the real one so he could convince the Patriots that he was still working for them.

Thanks for this! I love this show

Pod Racer was also on PC and it was FREAKING AWESOME.

GBW IS BACK

@cikame: heck yah I loved that game on PC! I even kind of liked that isometric game that basically played out the events of the movie. Something about deflecting laser bolts with a lightsaber feels awesome.

Them CBS corporate resources paying off big time!

This was all great and even more so as weekend content.

...now do a new Demo Derby episode, please?

That Rockstar b-roll was loaded. What a set of amazing games.

Something about them pulling that cloth off the SP made me laugh really hard.

Those World Cyber Games....

I forgot that the Dreamcast lasted such a short amount of time, 18 months

I like the N64, but it is without a doubt the worst of the successful consoles. It's right in the area between hardware-enforced simplicity and capable hardware. Its games were forced to be graphically impressive enough to run like trash, while being muddy enough to not be graphically impressive.

Drew has a glorious head of well conditioned hair.

Also: Yay, Game Tapes!

They see me B-rollin'.

I love learning Jeff's history lessons, its nice to learn what the industry was like many years ago.

@spaceleech: it's buffering and getting out of sync for me on PC

Struggling to play this video on my android TV box in HD. Video in slow motion and out of sync with audio. Unplayable on Kodi as well. Had to drop down from HD quality to High for it to play.

So according to Wikipedia, the World Cyber Games lasted TILL 2013, here is the link if you want to read more about it...just wow
