That was AWESOME. There were a lot of phenomenal items that I had never seen before, or never knew of. My jaw dropped a few times while watching this. Thanks for putting this on.
Brilliant clip, Governorwatts! I love hearing about Nintendo's legacy - it never gets old. I was fortunate to have met the late Gunpei Yokoi at E3 1996 during the unveilin of Virtual Boy. We played a few rounds of Tetris Attack on the SNES. I also had a photo taken with him. It saddens me so much his life was cut short. He was such a humble guy and truly a genius :( R.I.P

Total props for meeting Sugino Kenichi @ the museum in the clip ! It takes me back to when I met the late Gunpei Yokoi @ the 1995 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Btw, I pay tribute to Mr. Yokoi twice on my channel if you'd like to see :) I totally dig your Nintendo clips !
I gotta say, this is some awesome stuff. Being able to see a library archive of a company, especially like Nintendo is not something we get to see very often. And maybe its something meant for our future generations.
At 3:03, I see that blue game titled "Densetsu no Stafy" which probably means "Legendary Stafy". A great platformer that is mostly about swimming in a unique way. The game was released only in Japan for some reason, but it got five games later and a bunch of merchandise like plush dolls, food, vocal songs and even a manga series. The "Double Screen Game & Watch" is actually called the "Multi-Screen" series. The series was actually first released on May 28, 1982, not 1994. Oil Panic's the first.
I like this video. I remembered I was desperate having a GameBoy back then, now I have a DS, I ask nothing more :). Nintendo is my childhood, and it's worthy, too bad our Game & Watch was broken and I haven't tried playing it.
Two Zelda-themed LCD games were created in the late 1980s. The "Zelda Game Watch" was released first, and was an actual digital watch with primitive gameplay based on the original Legend of Zelda. The similarly titled "Zelda Game & Watch" was a dual-screen handheld electronic game similar in appearance to today's Nintendo DS. It featured gameplay based on The Adventure of Link, and has also reappeared as an unlockable extra in Game & Watch Gallery 4, a 2002 compilation for the Game Boy Advance.
I remember vividly those game and watch handhelds when they came out. The duel screen Mario Bros. one specifically. They were all over the flea markets on Long Island.
Really good video! This might sound strange but I really liked the music, what is it? I can't believe you said that you thought Game & Watch was only made in the 70s! Any self respecting Nintendo fan knows they were made all through the 80s and quickly tapered off in the early 90s as the Gameboy really caught on.
To think that over seventeen yeara after this was posted, there would actually be a not only full on expansion of this, but a larger and advanced version of the concept made official in Kyoto in just less than a couple months from now!🤯 Crazy to know now this isn't even the first time they even did a Museum of their own at all that long ago!
I have seen this video three times. Very intresting. If i do go to Japan i will go here and stay for a few hours. Those cards are worth alot i mean the originals.
They need a Nintendo theme park with rides from all video games. You got the Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Megaman, Kirby whatever rollercoasters and fun houses like Disney World.
very cool, my favorite game is mario sunshine, and i have a little nintendo collection too but i wouldnt let people touch the stuff, and never open a museum :P
If by that you mean it did what the Game Gear did 10 years earlier. Even then, it took another 2 years for them to give it proper backlighting with the SP. Nintendo hit a home run with the NES and ever since then its been going down the crapper at an exponential rate.
The video featured a co-creator of the VB. The head creator, Gunpei Yokoi, also the man behind the Game Boy, resigned after the VB flopped. He died almost one year after that in an auto accident.

And they try to be green ( environmentally friendly ) infact when I went to there older building in Redmond Wa they were building a Bike Path. that they're giving to the city I hope they named it Cycle Road...?
If you dont mind me asking. How much did it cost you to go to Japan. I really really would love to go. I want to see the nintendo museum. I just got a Famicom system and been buying few games here and there. Thanks
Background music is meant to be in the background, and as long as it accompanies the visuals, it doesn't matter where the song comes from. I could've played the theme from Back to the Future and it wouldn't have been "epic fail," whatever the hell that means.
When was the Zelda game and watch game released in comparison to other Zelda games? And does it Borrow a story from another Zelda game or is it a whole new game?
Just to let you know, the Zelda Game and Watch came out in 1989, not 1994, so it came out inbetween Zelda 2 and ALTTP. The last 'classic' Game and Watch came out in 1991, though there was a separate series (the Mini Classics) in 1998.
Wow, how did you get into such good terms with the Nintendo people? Btw, did you make the FF7 background music yourself or get it from Advent Children?
great video. this definitly one of the few videos that makes me proud to be a nintendo fan.
soo that was the original Nintendo Museum! I hope you'll go visit the new one in Kyoto also :))
That was AWESOME. There were a lot of phenomenal items that I had never seen before, or never knew of. My jaw dropped a few times while watching this. Thanks for putting this on.
brilliant brilliant, this was some of your best work. i really liked it. i watched it twice.
wow, you went a whole video without using your catch phrase. by far the best video yet. you are the man.
that place was amazing. flew there just to see it.

I gotta say, this is some awesome stuff. Being able to see a library archive of a company, especially like Nintendo is not something we get to see very often.
And maybe its something meant for our future generations.
freaking awesome video and damn informative!
My brother would go crazy if he were at this place! He is OBSESSED with Nintendo and Mario.

That was awesome!
You saw some stuff that is playable in the first WarioWare for the GBA
NICE :D
I remember vividly those game and watch handhelds when they came out. The duel screen Mario Bros. one specifically. They were all over the flea markets on Long Island.
The music was Final Fantasy 7's battle theme, the theme from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, and the original Final Fantasy battle and victory themes.
I love this :D
Nintendo ftw!
Really good video!
This might sound strange but I really liked the music, what is it?

wow i never new they made playing cards in the beginning. this was quite informative.
The first song in the video is the battle theme from Final Fantasy 7. The Final Fantasy 1 theme comes at the end of the video.

Great video, that. Again.
Thanks.
I love this video Congratulations !!!!
XD Awesome muesem! But you sumbit this video on my birthday! ^^

Holy crap, this is so cool! Nintendo has so much more history than I ever realized...
the guy in the mario suit got most of the glory in the museum
Its a good thing when i grow older ive always wanted to live in osaka
awesome video
greetings from chile
Good video! It was a bit too serious though!
It was actually only a week long event; it's closed now. You should be able to find Nintendo stuffed toys in most toy stores.
this is why nintendo is so legend.
wow! i miss playing those stuff!!
The middle theme is the title song from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, a Studio Ghibli anime movie.
I'd love to go there sometime..would be so cool
Amazing info.
If by that you mean it did what the Game Gear did 10 years earlier. Even then, it took another 2 years for them to give it proper backlighting with the SP. Nintendo hit a home run with the NES and ever since then its been going down the crapper at an exponential rate.
how totally badass.. good job.. like th music!
I'd like to go there it is a great dream to go to Japan and that Museum :D
Intresting Video. Wow you get to see the old game boy moedels. I use to have the ugly first brick like version of GB
Yep, I played the music. Glad you enjoyed it.
On my bucket list to go there.
no arcades at the museum? I really want to know the original colors of nintendo arcade cabinets in japan, I can't find them anywhere!
you know what's funny is everyone attributes the song to Final Fantasy 7, which the song is from Final Fantasy 1, which was on Nintendo.
great vid thx
The video featured a co-creator of the VB. The head creator, Gunpei Yokoi, also the man behind the Game Boy, resigned after the VB flopped. He died almost one year after that in an auto accident.
@justmymage
the creator of the virtual boy also created the game boy which was amazing plus he already died from a car crash years ago...
funny video! great work!
Thanks for that!!!
xD Gajillion.
Dewd, I totally want to go there. D:
And yeah... Final Fantasy music for a Nintendo Museum? xD What?
That is so AWESOME!

Thanks a lot, Lustine1984. I appreciate it.
Lol I love the part where you say "70 gagillion units throughout the world, in japan alone, every child has at least 7 for everyday of the week!"
What was the original retail price of game and watch ? (when it came out)
It's from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, a Studio Ghibli anime.
Nintendo, you are the most great company in the video game world ever!
wow i would LOVE!!! to be there
Great work, but I miss a little "My name is Governor Watts and I am the son of Stephen Colbert".
Anyways, nice video.
Can you show more Mother 2 or any Mother things?
It would be awesome to go there.
All I can say is "wow".
cool video.
very cool!

I love the song! '' Those who fight'' isn't it?
When was the Zelda game and watch game released in comparison to other Zelda games? And does it Borrow a story from another Zelda game or is it a whole new game?
awesome...but why final fantasy music? =O
