The Contentious & Forgotten History of Captain N: The Game Master
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- For 3 seasons Nintendo had an animated show on the air called Captain N: The Game Master, which centered on Captain N teaming up with Mega Man (sorta), Kid Icarus (kinda) and Simon Belmont to battle Mother Brain.
Mostly forgotten and relegated to a footnote in Nintendo's history, the creation of the show is still disputed by some of the people involved.

They did Megaman dirty with that voice in this series.
They also did Simon dirty too making him look cowardly
Better than they did for Mega Man 8...
They did my boy pit so dirty too
@@thestardustgamer296 & making him so vain
At least Mega Man and Simon had their actual names. Poor Pit, I mean Kid Icarus.
Fun Fact: Also via an interview with one of the show's writers, he stated that the most input that the team was ever given about the games were muddy VHS footage of a few scenes from some of the games recorded for about a few minutes with no context. He also stated that when seeing footage of Metroid, it was thought that "an orange robot" would not make for a good character, thus Samus was left out of the show, but then many years later when hearing that Samus was actually a badass female bounty hunter he very much regretted not making her a character as that would have been a really good idea.
pretty much the same take on Samus from a creative writing story i wrote in 5th grade where this dragon guy eats a magic M&M and makes a machine to bring nintendo and etc characters to life
@@WSNO Lol that’s hilarious!
She could've helped the N-Team defeat Mother Brain for good instead of trapping her in Baseball World with runaway evil baseball equipment.
Samus was in the short lived comic at least.
A masterclass in what NOT to do when handling such IP in such a show.
@@Klaaism The action at least has aged well even if the characterizations were ever great to begin with. *cough*Simon*cough.
Anyone else think back on this show and wonder if Kevin's parents bothered looking for him after he go sucked into the TV??
I always assumed it was like Lion Witch and the Wardrobe and time moved differently between the two.
I can't remember the episode, but Princess Lana had stated that _Kevin would forget everything about VideoLand upon returning to the real world._ Depending on how much time in the real world had passed, that'd potentially be an *awkward conversation with the parents.*
Actually, I wondered that a few times. But, yeah, I have always considered it a difference in how time passes. So, if Kevin ever went home, it would be exactly when he got taken to Videoland, similarly to Marty returning to 1985 moments before he went back to 1955.
Maybe they were like Fry's parents from Futurama. They were going to look be decided it was a waste people's resources and tax money.
I wondered that as a kid.
As an aging teenager
Captain N was one of the last sat morning cartoons that gave me a reason to get up early on Saturday mornings. After that, sleeping in became much more important
I like how eventually when they showed the DIC logo, they had a kid actually say, "DEEK", presumably to avoid any.....mispronunciations?
In reality, well all saw it as a "Sesame Street" enunciation of what we all thought it was, DIC.
Never knew about the "behind the scenes" drama involving Captain N, and this is the first time I noticed the cartoon never actually used the name "Nintendo". Thanks for another wonderfully informative episode!
I remember watching this show way back when I was a kid and thought to myself that the voice of Mother Brain sounded just like the voice of the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. So I was right! Thanks guys. Great video.
Awesome! Thanks Dan! I'm 40, so this channel is my childhood. lol.
Yeah I’ll second that.
I'll third it
Wis Dom same here
You're welcome!
I 5th that
“Meanwhile, in the Palace of Power...”
Make Captain N a DLC fighter for Smash Ultimate!
At the very least give him a Mii outfit!
Never happen.
YES
The inclusion would go unnoticed for the most part. Smash's fanbase too young for the most part.
@@1185AspAve most kids don't know what game Captain Falcon is from
I remember as a kid, seeing Samus in the comic book captain N. I was too young to beat the NES game, so I discovered she was a girl in the comic. I still have that issue somewhere.
Show of hands, who wore their NES controller like a belt and pretended you could pause life, run faster, and super jump and got yelled at for taking their Zapper outside. ✋🏻
Michael V. 🖐
I wrapped the cord of my Nintendo Max controller around my belt loops since the cord was centered on the controller. The regular controller cords were angled to the left so if you tried to do that the controller would slant. Yeah I spent way too much time on that.
I had my spinal cord replaced with controller cables
I don't remember how, but I had 2 light guns. I took a screwdriver to to one and removed the cord to be more like the show.

ME AFTER WATCHING EVERY TOY GALAXY VIDEO: Man, that video was amazing. It was well done and really resonated with me. I don’t know how they could get better.
TOY GALAXY: Challenge accepted!
We're those contestants on Ninja Warrior doing the salmon ladder.
Captain N is my go-to Halloween costume for the last couple years.
The classic DIC intro. My favorite. I can't believe I forgot about this show.
I was always so excited to watch this every Saturday. Mega Man's colors always bothered me but it wasn't until I was an adult that I discovered Kid Icarus wasn't the in-game character's name. Thanks for the vid guys!
Yeah. His name is Pit.
I remember watching this in the early 90s. The concept was cool, just not executed very well. It has a bit of a charm though. I still have it on DVD too.
BEST EPISODE - they team up with Link and Zelda voiced by the same from the Legend of Zelda cartoon complete with Excuse me Princess !!
I remember watching this on Sunday mornings. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
With the exception of the Mario and Zelda cartoons, was Captain N the only "promotional" cartoon not created to advertise toys?
IT's also odd that Nintendo never made a game about Captain N, but I suppose nearly all their games were developed in Japan at the time. So Nintendo Japan had the final say.
I'd reckon the Sonic syndicated cartoon would fall into the same pile. It had mostly original characters outside of Sonic, Tails, and Dr. Robotnik, and it didn't really seem to have a whole lot to do with anything in the games other than the setting. And they gave Sonic a weird chilli dog fetish for..reasons.
Oddly enough the weird original characters they made for the syndicated show actually did end up in Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine for Genesis, but if memory serves me correctly the series was already done by that point. I'm fairly certain I was the only person on earth watching the show anyways.
I guess it comes down to what you would classify as a "toy." It certainly wasn't created to push an action figure line. But an NES is still a "toy."
But yes, Captain N appears to have been more of an Nintendo of AMERICA production and when Nintendo of JAPAN got back into the marketing picture they very much buried Captain N and any remnants of it.
Highly, HIGHLY unlikely that Captain N would ever make it to Smash Bros.
The Japanese equivalent is most probably Captain Rainbow to be fair. He would have changed the tone of that show completely.
actually two of the badniks in AoStH were in the games, namely Coconuts and Grounder
Does Kidd Video count? I bet we'll never see that on DVD release in a long time.
I was just looking up Captain N and Kid Video videos on RUclips yesterday!
Gotta love Captain N. I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't utilized him for Smash Bros. My team would consist of Solid Snake, Black Mage from Final Fantasy, and the Canadian team from Ice Hockey.
Nintendo of Japan has no interest in using Captain N. In fact they would prefer to just bury him.
Because he's not their creation? Good luck getting any character not created in Japan any attention.
Yeah, I've often thought he would be an excellent addition to Smash. Smash 4, and Ultimate are reunions for Pit, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, and Lana(, as the character was based on Palutena).
I can imagine Nintendo being of the opinion that Captain N/Kevin Keene is a product of the time the idea, and character was created. Another thing is that they did include a hand firing a(n) model 2/orange NES Zapper in Duck Hunt's Smash 4 trailer, though I'm not sure how ok they would be of a character on-screen firing a toy gun with the word "Nintendo" on it. To my knowledge, during development of the past few Smash titles, it was always made clear that the ray gun item was purposely designed to resemble a toy gun; in other words, purposely unrealistic. Comparatively, the NES Zapper models, grey, and orange, look much closer to realistic guns, than the ray gun item. These reasons of looking more realistic compared to the ray gun item, and having the word Nintendo on said gun, I often have thought are the reasons why the Zapper was never made an in-game item, or a selectable costume/aesthetic for Mii Gunner characters. The SNES Super Scope, also by comparison, has a more toyish appearance.
@@Elyseon he can be modded in
@@SecretGalaxyTV he can be modded into the game
god I loved my Nintendo Power magazines... easily one of the highlights of my youth.
Man oh man you really brought out the time machine for this one. Captain N maybe gone but never forgotten by you, me and countless others.
It's on DVD. I know because I own the entire series.
Princess Lana Voice actor also did Female Ranma Saotome of Ranma 1/2
Grew up poor. I was just happy to witness content about characters famous to me.
I couldn't afford video games, but I got to watch a show about them :)
That theme music at the beginning of each episode is so good! It totally elevates the subject matter of each episode.
DIC really was one of the most notorious when it comes to not properly licensing or overly licensing expensive music.
Kid video being one of the most egregious. When it was replayed for syndication they had to completely remove probably dozens of licensed songs.
Which is funny considering that was like the one thing that show had going for it. There was a hilarious episode of some version of the Mario Bros. animated show that included in appearance by Milli vanilli including they're notorious music that instead of being replaced for the DVD was simply removed entirely with I believe nothing in its place.
It took me a long time to realise that video game Simon Belmont was a badass, not a Zapp Brannigan/Eric the Caviler mash-up. And that Megaman wasn't supposed to be a sci-fi hobbit. This show has a lot to answer for!
But Kid Icarus was fun. To the maximimus.
dan smith could have fooled anyone who never played the original game, since they never called him that in the cartoon. An aside: I wish Kid Icarus got a sequel on the SNES alongside Super Metroid, as it was a sort of sister game to the original.
Did somebody say Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors? I love that show

Great Stuff Toy Galaxy!
Thank you Toy Galaxy for liking my comment! It’s an honor!
I liked your comment, too. You're welcome.
Oh God. Mega Marlboro Man returns.
Favorite. Cartoon. Ever. This was at the end of the Saturday Morning lineup and I waited for it happily every weekend.
Just discovered you channel and going through a lot of the videos now, I LOVE IT! Re-discovering some of the stuff from when I was a kid or things I totally missed out on. Thanks! From a 90s Kid 😎✌️
Your videos always bring back so much nostalgia for me! Loved that show as a kid despite major inaccuracies with a lot of the characters!
I can remember being so excited for this show when it premiered and then being so let down when I heard the opening "Mega Hi!" from Megaman. Now it just makes me cringe worse then the Super Mario Super show.
I can’t describe how much I loved this show. So much that I still hope Captain N shows up as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros.
I loved this show as well as the Zelda show! The best thing about the Mario show were the live action segments with captain Lou
The crossover episodes of those two shows ("The Potion Of Power") were some of the best in either series!
@@Mayhemm007 there were 2 other episodes where link and Zelda guest star. The trojan dragon, and the episode where they meet pero the cat.
What is great is that they actually got the voice actors from the Zelda show to reprise the roles of Link and Zelda on Captain N. That always blew my mind as a kid, that they could actually get them to come back to the roles.
@@DarkRudra Legend Of Zelda (and Super Mario Super Show) aired durig Captain N's first season, so it wasn't too hard.
I've been waiting for this topic for so long...thank you for finally delivering!
This channel has awakened so many long gone memories that i must thank u.
8:43-8:58 that off-brand music is also used in the Super Mario 3 cartoon, in the episode where the princess goes to a Milli Vanili concert
Yeah.. I grew up watching Super Mario Super Show and on.. they all had such awesome music when it came out, it was where I first heard a lot of classic songs like surfing bird, hit the road jack, secret agent man, highway to the danger zone, thriller and so many other great songs.. it's why I can't hardly stand to watch the dvd releases of my fave shows. Loved Capt. N as a kid, and the Zelda cartoon as well.. luckily the Zelda theme song was not messed with.. still makes that intro great
Shadow Productions by the way, was that the first orchestral rendition of the Zelda theme? Had they done anything in Japan?
Anyone else remember the Super Mario World episode with Milli Vanilli? It aired only once, just before their scandal broke.
I love your videos! My brain would’ve never remembered this show but it all came back after watching this. Great vid!
Good video! First time I've run across this channel.
Man, Captain N. This was like my very favorite cartoon back in the day. It just edged out Ghostbusters for me. Captain, Ghostbusters, Thundercats, Silverhawks, Transformers, GoBots, Rambo. . . These are the cartoons that made up my childhood.
Seriously you guys made my day with this one! THANK YOU!
You're welcome.
Ahhh the memories... I had a German VHS cassette of Captain N. And since I didn't have an NES maybe I knew Captain N before Mario, when I got a Gameboy.
Thanks for doing yet another great _'Toon Galaxy'_ video; for those of us who didn't have all the toys!
This cartoon was basically the video game version of Kidd Video. I'm surprised you didn't mention that!
Wow no mention of the "Super Mario Super Show", that also had extensive music editing before it could be released on DVD.
The only way to get the original music back is to go to RUclips and look for super Mario Bros super show restored.
@@marccaselle8108 They also had do that for the show "Takeshi's Castle" which used a lot of video game music, as well as famous movie theme scores, when a few of the episodes were released on DVD.
yes! I am a very important piece of the history of Nintendo and this is why I should be in smash bros.
Is it true that your last name is "Word"?
no it's Keene actually, my full name is Kevin Keene and my ally captain S full name is Chad Belmont and no he isn't related to Simon Belmont.
captain N get in line, I hear Waluigi doesn't like the competition, he even stabbed shrek last week.
Maybe Princess Lana should be in Smash Bros since she is supposed to be from the game world, but you're just a kid who played games.
I did more than played games, I lived them and I fought in a world full of them so therefore I should be in smash bros. there is no excuse or debate, unlike Rob the robot who was just a accessory that came with two games and got chucked away like trash. like I said before, my show was smash bros before smash bros existed.
I love the added info bites in the episode. Please keep that up
Loved this show, Captain N, back in the day on its original NBC airings and caught syndicated re-runs on The Family Channel, syndication (as part of Captain N and the Video Game Masters) and USA Network as part of the USA Network Cartoon Express block, whenever I could find them.
Damn Illuminati Doritos, ruining all of my 80's Saturday morning sales pitches!
They're delicious though.
Captain N, Muppet Babies and Daria all had that problem in common. Lots of licensed music back in the days when no one cared. A TV airing was less frequent than being on the radio. Fast Forward through the 90's, Napster, lawsuits and YT and now you got to scrub an episode for 5 bars of 'Monster Mash'.
Only if.they lost the separate voice track.
Beavis & Butthead was also affected this way.
I remember Captain N The Game Master when I was toddler in 1989, 1990 and 1991.
As long I remember in my time in the late 80s and early 90s.
That was so badass. I thank you for yet another Awesome trip down memory lane. Great video
You're welcome.
I used my Gameboy more as an action figure than to play games because of Captain N.
I vote Captain N be a playable character for Smash Bros!
Thank you so much for giving dignity to our imaginations with this vid. 10 years ago I had to question my sanity if this show existed. Every time i talked about it people thought I was nuts! Nobody seemed to remember it! I used to draw scenes of it during class. This show did with genre mixing what most kids were all doing - mixing their lego sets together - Robin Hood going on adventures with Spacemen so to speak.
Someone clairify my memory: there was an episode that had the characters participating in an Olympics of some kind. There was a waterfall that poured into a big round pool - except the pool was a disc floating in the air - like a water portal. You jumped in and there was some kind of treasure at the bottom. It was like some kind of artistic quantum mechanics brain puzzle for my child mind! If you jumped in from the top, you were underwater. What would happen if you entered the disc from the underside?!
Anyway, the 3rd season broke my heart at the lack of quality and the blatant money grab that was tge imsertion of "game-boy" which totally ruined the show. All this inspiring imaginative stuff for my future career as an artist...and I never even owned a Nintendo 😛
thank you for letting us know about the music for years i have remembed hearing the song breakdown in the first episode of captain n and when i got the dvd it was not there thanks for clearing that up
Nice to meet a fellow Captain N fan. It's nice to meet you and how are you?
Loved Captain N!!!
I kind of remember this. Was abused as A kid so alot of suppressed memories only remember He-Man, and transforms. This channel has also unlocked M.a.s.k, and gobots from my brain.
One of my favorite Saturday Morning cartoons. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
OMG what wasn't great about this video Toy Galaxy?! Absolutely loved it. Get Along Gang pic, and all the others, was fantastic. All those stars in one show? What a cartoon budget. Eggplant was underpaid. LOL. Seriously, this show etched in our brains a weird but forever thought of persona of Simon Belmont.
You should review the Mega Man 90's cartoon and toy line some day, not perfect but a heck of a lot more faithful than Captain N's Mega Man.
I liked the 90s megaman cartoon and I watched it when it was first on back in the 90s. Megaman felt like megaman and the robot masters were portrayed as they should have been.
Oh man watching that show was why I'd rush home from school as a kid.
_"I've got your power now!!"_
*Gets decked in the face immediately*
I used to rent Captain N DVDs from the local video shop as a kid and I loved it, though to be honest it _was_ pretty cheesy and trash in hindsight...
Now this is just making me want a Toy Galaxy episode on the Power Team. Remember the Power Team? It was like Captain N but worse.
was Power Team the one from Video Power where the team had Kurios from Wizards and Warriors and Bigfoot (the truck)?
Yeah, and the tomato from that one Game Boy game nobody remembers.
@@professorcasey8662 I do remember Power team from Video Power...has Toy Galaxy made a video about Video Power yet...hehe I won a game for a TMNT drawing.
Thank you Dan for making my week. Thank you.
I love how with every video he creates he talks about parents in an uproar because children's cartoons are advertising for a toy line. Forget the fact that 60% of what television is there for is advertising through commercials.
A reboot featuring the updated Smash Bros designs of the team, an anime art style done by a preferably high-budget studio, and competent writers with experience in writing shows with multiverses would be amazing.
I'd hate to be the one to tell you this, but, despite the cartoon's insistence, the main character of the Kid Icarus is named Pit, not 'Kid Icarus'
Sure, sure. But this video IS about the show.
But Hey in this universe, Mega Man isn't from a future earth but from mega land with mega prefixes, King Hippo isn't a sub boss to mike tyson, Mother Brain is not the Organic AI of space pirates but the ruler of a world called metroid (a name for a world instead of an organism) .. Mother Brain?? More like MotherFu... plus Simon is a vain egomaniac instead of having a valiant lineage of vampire hunters.
Raymund Mapalad It’s almost as if the writers had a bet with each other to see how far from the source material they could get before the executives noticed.
@@rugalthreesixteen6812 There was an episode called Return to Castlevania that actually does reference Draculas Curse before the Netflix show. In it, Sypha is an old wizard and Trevor is mentioned, on top of the boss from the first stage, the skeleton Knight being directly used in this episode!
Quite a rarity since they even edited Mega Man's Cut Man into "Cuts Man"
Oooooh that’s what this cartoon was called!!!! I had snippets of memories but just couldn’t remember it properly, thanks for the nostalgia!
I love your videos that you put out, they're really interesting. Keep it up please.
"By the way, here's a list of their names and bullet points." *shows a clip of one person*
Were you drunk while editing this video?
I will forever HATE the fact that the government stopped the “Saturday Morning” genre
I firmly believe that those that grew up with shows like Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, COPS, etc grew up with a better sense of right and wrong where later generations that grew up with all the lame comedy toons that started to dominate from the 90s seem to think everything is a joke
I wouldn't say the government itself was the main cause of the demise of Saturday morning cartoons.
I just got way cheaper for them to first do like dubbed anime and stuff like that. But then it just became too expensive and it was just way cheaper to put on sports or some other produced news shows or something. The real problem was cable. Once channels like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon dominated there was no point.
With the rise of streaming services it was absolutely inevitable. I do miss action cartoons though don't get me wrong. It was a different time unfortunately. It's not what people want for the most part I guess or not what they're pushing at least.
I grew up with both and I can confirm that the 90's were right in that everything is a joke.
@@dungeonsanddobbers2683
I mean it's kind of a dark joke at this point but yeah everything is pretty much a joke I mean look at the government these days, yikes.
But you know what they say you gotta laugh to keep from crying.
Batman and X-Men were good, right?
That's just your nostalgia filter talking. Each generation has its share of decent shows and its share of trash. The older ones simply have the benefit of time filtering the trash out of our memories. There are plenty of good cartoons being made nowadays. The sheer amount of available media means that more of the trash makes its way to our screens. But time will filter even these one day.
Source: Grew up in the 80s. Currently have my 2020 Starscream toy standing next to my 1984 Starscream toy.
Absolutely loved this video. Thanks!
Very awesome video. Thanks for addressing the differences for games v tv show. You should do Power Team next since it was loosely related to this show.
Does anyone remember "The Power Team " from the 90s
Who cares of the quality i just wanted to watch cartoons like Captain N, the Akklaim Power Team, and Super Mario Bros / Legend of Zelda.
Glad someone remembers The Power Team, which had an even weirder line-up than Captain N. (Hey, it's sentient version of Bigfoot the monster truck. And a talking tomato!)
But does anyone remember Saturday Supercade? Or the early 80s Pacman ("That's me!") cartoon?
I always wondered why the characters differed from their game counterparts. As a kid, I did enjoy the show, however. Thanks again for the great presentation! Please keep making nostalgic videos for all of us that grew up in the 80s and 90s.
Dan I am just coming out and say this, you have stole my heart with all these “history of” episodes . Maybe it is because we are the same age, grew up during the same time frame watching the same things my brother and I did BUT you grew up more handsome and chiseled lol .
I always love the videos as you know and always enjoy you getting stuff from your adoring fans in your photo booth episodes .
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Damn it! As if the government did any good! Kids now a days watch a hole lot more and they’re usually watching crap! There’s nothing good on the internet...😳...except for Toy Galaxy of course! 😅 it’s like the only educational show around 😁
Great video Mr Larson, Producer Greg 👍🏽✌🏽
Thanks again!
Here in the U.K., he was colloquially known as “Captain N, the gay master” because of how the narrator pronounced “game” in the title sequence.
WHAT HAS BEEN HEARD CANNOT BE UNHEARD
Nostalgia Critic: "DOESN'T IT SOUND LIKE THAT!?"
I can remember Captain N be released to quite some fanfare! Though, it came at a cost, it pushed all the other older toons off the air, and Saved by the Bell shortly thereafter. Where it was cool, it was weird that none of the characters were 'correct'.
Prior to Nintendo Power there was the Nintendo Fun Club, which was a newsletter that you could subscribe to and have arrive via snail mail. There was also an 800 number you could call and to hear "Captain Nintendo" give a pre-recorded message and a game tip. This was all around the time the first Zelda game dropped. All of this was free, but as we all know, free doesn't last very long before it becomes Nintendo Power, a magazine you would receive a first free issue to, then have to pay for a subscription from then on. There was also a 900 number you could call to talk to a live game expert for tips if you got stuck in a game (I actually called once for a part of Zelda II I was stuck on).
Always dislike Captain N’s interpretations of NES character.
Mega Man: A green suited midget with an annoying scrawny voice.
Simon Belmont (Castlevania): A con artist narcissistic coward who claims he’s the greatest Vampire hunter, but is obsessed with his looks and his stupid mirror.
Pit (Kid Icarus): Kinda wimpy and androgynous who seems to play the damsel in distress type with an oversize head. Oh look I got my weak little bow and arrow.
Mother Brain (Metroid): A stereotypical take on the Angry middle-age Black Momma persona. WTF?
I mean it was pretty clear they were allowed way more artistic freedom then they would ever be allowed today.
They went so far off model it's ridiculous. The most interesting thing I think is the fact that Simon Belmont (Konami) and Megaman (Capcom) got the worst of it by far.
Sure mother brain was "a black mama persona" but it's based on a character you see very little of in the actual game it's based on anyway.(by the way where the heck is Samus?!)
Most of the Nintendo characters were pretty well represented I think even pit for the most part.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu you haven't seen worse till you see what they did to Alucard (Castlevania 3)
I loved Captain N as a kid.
This video reminded me I have a painting I really want to do one of these days based on it... And some other Nintendo properties.
I remember 1989 Saturday mornings watching Captain N. It was a challenge trying to get some play time after watching with sharing the living room's 19" TV with the rest of the family. Good times!
I was literally watching this show like an hour ago. My most favourite cartoon show of all time!!
WELL DONE Dan and thanks
Excellent episode. I loved Captain N, I always wanted that Letterman jacket. I also loved Video Power, it had Acclaim licenses so we got Wizards and Warriors cartoons, NARC and many others. It was only 1 season before they turned it into a game show
I was just watching some captain Nintendo.. I mean N last week! Awesome video 👍🏼
I always wished we would see Captain N in a Smash brothers game, and with the crazy lineup in the last one, I hoped it would happen, but maybe the Captain is just too old and forgotten.
Also, a DIC Animation property, and more of a Nintendo Of America creation.
I'm always a fan of Captain N. If I get stuck in a video world my all star team would be Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Cloud (super smash bros ultimate), Link and Samus.
Oh man. I had forgotten a lot about this show but it still elicits old pangs of excitement. I feel like my childhood was one long, weird fever dream...
My best memory of this show is an old polaroid photo I took in 1991 with two of my old Nintendo and Super Nintendo systems in the foreground, featuring a screen shot of the Season 2 episode "Queen Of The Apes", which ironically now is from a scene that was omitted from the DVD set due to an authoring error. Back then, it was just another photo for my collection. Now I consider it a piece of early 90s history.
I remember going to a Tetris tournament at some mall in the Los Angeles area put on by Nintendo. I got to meet the kid who played the live action version of Captain N. No one knew who he was an Dustin Diamond was there so the line to meet him was pretty short.
I vaguely remember the top 3 players got to move on to the championships at Universal Studios (like in the Wiz) and that Dustin Diamond looked VERY put out to be there.
And that I did very poorly in the tournament but my brother was one Tetris away from being in the top three!
Another great episode!
Those times you spend hours watching hours of RUclips. I always end up watching videos about lost media and forgotten history. I’ve just discovered the Toy Galaxy channel, such a delight. On the same par with Whang, Rebel Taxi, Blame it on Jorge.
Only time in my life where I ever actually woke up in the morning without an alarm was to watch Cap N.
For me it was Thundercats... 6am on Saturday where I lived.
Cool work with the factoid transitions. Excellent work, fellas!!! And WHY IS CAPTAIN N NOT IN A GAME OF SOME KIND YET!!!!!
