I love that people are still putting time and effort into vintage systems. If only the big three (Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft) put as much effort into their own histories 🤷♂️
I've always believed that if Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft did a "Legacy Release" each year for their old consoles they would be mega hits. How cool would it be if Nintendo put out one game a year (physically) for the NES, SNES, Game Boy, N64 etc.... and Sony and Microsoft did the same for their systems. Building a game in today's age is much easier than it was back then so it would be quicker. I think the payoff would be worth it for those companies to recognize and appreciate their history.
Nice one buddy I really enjoyed watching this. The only game I heard of was little madusa. The others look so interesting so I will definitely need to try and check them out. 👍
Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone you watched a NES video 🤫 I think they all look pretty fun, Project Blue has my attention. Maybe someday I’ll make a SMS home brew video 😉
Nice list! What's even better is that I've never heard about any of them! If I had to pick one immediately, it would be Blazing Rangers! Looks like a fun challenge! The homebrew scene is full of games that it's hard to follow all of them! I also like the "demake" versions of games like Final Fantasy 7 and the newly released Resident Evil 1 on NES! Hope to see a part 2 of this! Great video and keep up the good work!
Thanks for such a great comment! Blazing Rangers looks amazing, for me personally I think I'd like Project Blue or maybe Cheril the Goddess because it's a bit naughty 👀 You just gave me another idea!!!! I need to make a video about demakes!! Thanks a ton! I'll check out the demakes that you mentioned, I know there are a few others too.
Man, all these games actually look really cool! Thanks for highlighting these! Now I have some new NES games to check out! I will say, I think Blazing Rangers looks like the one I’m most interested in, as the music sounds bangin’.
It's always fun to see new games for old consoles that we love. Blazing Rangers looks dope, I think for me personally I'd like Project Blue. I like that sci-fi feel. Of course, you'd notice the music! You have a great ear for that part of games. Thanks for watching buddy!
Micro Mages looks super fun, I want to play the four player option. I saw it at MGC in person and it looked great. Thanks for watching buddy! Hope all is well.
The NES is still relatively unknown to me as I grew up with a SMS instead so it’s wild to discover games for it that were released back in its cycle as well as new ones from awesome devs today.
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames I picked up on you being a master system fan, loved that system too though I was late to the party. Had a Genesis with the power base converter because I played Phantasy Star 2 and needed to play the first game. Had a handful of other MS games too. No regrets!
You just want to play with your hose! There was a ton that I discovered. Micro Mages was at MGC and there was a copy right in front of us to play. Wish we woulda hopped on it.
716 licensed game?!? I knew it was a lot, but that's amazing!!! I love a good homebrew! I played Micro Mages recently, and it was excellent! 4-player splitscreen with wall grappling, is awesome! So glad you featured this one 😀 I'd heard of a few of the others, but I haven't played them. Project Blue looks like one I should pick up for sure! It was probably wise to limit it to physical homebrews, since there's about 6 gajillion digital only homebrews of heavily varied quality XD
Sure is a ton of games! I actually don't have a ton of knowledge on the NES as I grew up with the Sega Master System which only had 117 licensed games in North America! Micro Mages is so dope, I got to see it at Midwest Gaming Classic, and wow it was so cool. Project Blue is my under-the-radar game. I love the aesthetics of it and the gameplay looks incredible. I know there's a million roms and digital games, but as a physical collector I couldn't help but want these NES physical homebrews! They come with some nifty stuff too. Super cool that you have played micro mages. Thanks for watching buddy!
Yeah, I love that it gives you a four-player option. I discovered it at Midwest Gaming Classic this year, lots of great NES games are still being developed. Thanks for watching!
Hey there, thanks for watching! I'm great at mispronouncing words or adding weird accents to them, haha. I'm sure there are plenty of others where I misspeak.
Hey, thanks for watching! I love that people are still creating games for retro consoles years after they have been out of the spotlight. Micro Mages is perfect for couch co op. Happy gaming!
Whoa! I have never heard of Kickle Cubicle before but you might be spot on! Little Medusa looks a ton like it. Good eye! You must have a ton of NES knowledge. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.
These all look pretty great. And I love that they're real physical boxed games and all. Great stuff. I'm really hoping that with the recent announcement of "SNESmaker" and a bunch of other interesting things that have happened in the SNES scene lately, like the announcement of SNES Doom Definitive Edition that uses the "FX3" and a new SNES controller with rumble support as one example, that the SNES will start to get a lot of cool new physical games like this in the near future too. Xeno Crisis is a great start, but it came out 5 years after the Genesis version and does feel like a port rather than something truly made for SNES, so hopefully we get even more and better doing forward.
My guy thank you for checking it out! I love seeing all the big things you're doing in life. Happy for your happiness. I need to collab with you again sometime on my channel!
Haha, most of the developers of the game have their own website to purchase the game. So just find the dev who created the game and search for them! They'll have the games ready to go. Thanks for watching!
It's curious... when you look at homebrew NES games these days, they seem to feature better color palette usage and animation than the original games. I don't think it's necessarily "using the hardware better" in a programmatic sense... it's just having the hindsight to see what was done with games, and then trying to use some of those techniques on an older platform. They make certain choices with modern gaming in mind, whereas the original NES devs... well, they were flying blind. Their models were simpler, so they were limited by what they thought was cutting edge, as they created it. Developers now can take a bit here, give some there... to coincide more with what modern audiences would expect. (I see this with Sega Genesis homebrew as well... the Genesis color palette was much more limited compared with the SNES, which made Genesis games look bad by comparison. I don't think people understood that... nowadays people make Genesis games that look so much better, using the palette in smarter ways. If you choose a palette that's too limited, it looks "muddy". You have to make the colors starker in contrast and hue. Ahh well, I'm rambling. But again, that's something that wouldn't necessarily have been on the minds of developers at the time, working with what they had.)
Another thing that may be at play is, homebrew these days can include much more ROM space on the cartridge. Back then there were budgetary constraints ("Look, we can only afford to put 200k worth of chip space on this cart, do your best.")
Heh, like even with the stylized lava in one of these games. A developer in the 80s/early 90s may have tried to make the lava look really cool with 7 different shades of red, limiting the rest of the palette for the screen. Nah, just make it stylized, and you can use colors elsewhere. Noone cares what the lava looks like, really. Hindsight is 20/20 :)
Another good example of this is the last Mario game released on NES/Famicom, "Mario's Time Machine". It was an edutainment title with not a whole lot of "arcade action", but the sprites, color usage, and animation was so much better than Super Mario Bros 3. It even had Yoshi, which SMB3 had to omit because of "hardware limitations." Same hardware... they just used it in ways that were more appropriate to newer graphical trends. What a difference 6 years makes!
I don't mean to say NOTHING was learned about the base hardware since then, maximizing the hardware etc, just that I don't think that was the major factor in why these games look so amazing. I think it's perspective and hindsight that makes the biggest difference.
Oh my goodness, you call it "rambling" I call it an amazing flow of thoughts on that era and development. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and input. It was great to read through it and I found your points very valid. Really fun to read all the comments, thanks for watching and thanks for leaving well-written input!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames yeah, it will be available with two other games on the same cart. Kick starter for it is already over so they should be selling the carts in their website sometime soon. I think the name for the cart is just 3 in 1.
Hi i have a question, are nes games like lizard, dataman and other homebrew games perfectly compatible with the Italian PAL A system? I ask because I recently bought the homebrew game sams' journey and after changing the region system by pressing reset 4 times the game started but it doesn't work well, there are glitches on the screen and after a while it freezes, I haven't found any explanations about it online and nobody knows if these homebrew games are actually compatible with all region formats or only with NTSC and PAL B.
Thanks for watching! That is an excellent question. I would reach out to the developers of the games you are interested in and ask them. They might have information on the game page where you order the games with compatibility.
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames haha I’ve lived all over the place, and I guess its made my ability to pick out specific accents better. Thanks for the great video! I just got a retro usb avs and I’m looking to build my collection and reconnect with childhood 👍🏻

Micro Mages is great. Played it with three friends and they all loved it.
I'm super jealous, the four player co-op looks like a blast. Awesome you got to experience it. Thanks for watching!
I like discovering new games
Me too! I love finding new hidden gems.

Another awesome episode. The fire fighter game looks fun. I've heard of little Medusa but none of the others so it was fun to see some new nes games
You just want to play with your hose! There was a ton that I discovered. Micro Mages was at MGC and there was a copy right in front of us to play. Wish we woulda hopped on it.
It's amazing what people are able to do with such an old system.
I can barely turn a light switch on let alone build a game from scratch. These people are insanely talented!
Such a nostalgic video lol!!! Gotta love the old feel of the NES games 😊👍
Definitely, it was really cool to see these new NES games in action. Thanks for watching!

@@TigerChainsawVideoGames I mean, it’s an O. Why have I been pronouncing it as an A my whole life? It’s like that potato potato saying. 😁

Great looking homebrew games!
Yeah, I'm so impressed by these! I think it's wonderful that people keep creating games for consoles that are no longer being produced.
there's no way that "Little Medusa" is a homebrew that is totally Kickle Cubicle just reskinned

Micro Mages is a blast 4 player. I think that is a Steam game that has the rom in the install so it's easy to get.
I'd love to play 4-players sometime. That would be a blast.
Only one that really looks good to me is the one I own which is micro mages. Very glad they are coming out with a sequel to the game.
I had no idea they were making a sequel to it! That is pretty cool.
