It's probably the clunky title, the fact that the video is exactly as described in the title, there is zero commentary, and the video starts on the opening menu.
Nostalgic. I grew up with both MK Wii and crappy VHS recordings to watch movies and old TV specials. I don’t understand why so many people think analog recordings like this are scary
@@JustinGamesJG Yeah, like using the vhs effect to give off a cozy atmosphere rather than an unsettling one. Don't get me wrong, I love analogue horror and the vhs aesthetic is like crack for me so that was part of what got me into it alongside the atmosphere of some of the better analogue horror vids out there, but I also agree that more non-horror games and such should use the vhs aesthetic. Like, you could pull off a game that looks like an 80s saturday morning cartoon on vhs the same way Cuphead pulls off its 1930s film look, filters and all.
I'm just impressed an old VCR could do this without just eating the tape. About a decade ago when I was visiting my dad we tried to play some old recordings of the Pokemon movies off Cartoon Cartoon Fridays on CN, they were probably like 7 or 8 years old by that point. Two VCRs later and all the tapes were destroyed...
That was because the tape stuck to itself around the capstan, indicating it was exposed to sunlight and/or moisture. if you take care of your VHS cassettes and the VCR, that should never happen (I've personally never had that happen even growing up in the late '80s and '90s).
@@jul1440 it was after a rough period, where the home it was stored in was without electricity for about 2 years as well filled wall to wall with clutter. I imagine those conditions contributed to the tapes not working, or the VCR or both
Something about this is oddly cozy. I think it's the familiar game visuals and sounds combined with the similar familiar feel of olden technology. Maybe it's just me?
I was working with my VCR like a year or 2 ago when I was archiving old tapes I had, and it got me nostalgic for that. The quality still looks incredible, and even the framerate is maintained, too.
That VCR is in much better condition than the one my family had back in the late 80s-early 90s. Every time we watched old boxing tapes, it would not play properly and there was a part where the commentators were talking at chipmunk speed.
literally analog horror. i can imagine waluigi slowly driving through, as the originally laughing thwomps from the N64 version make a comeback. and then it fades to black with a camera on the imprisoned thwomp.
The VHS tape effect is a symbolism of what distant memories feels like. This is like trying to remember a thing from your childhood, but you can only seem to piece together a distorted image…
"this was the last ever footage of waluigi before his disappearance, when we went to the castle to investigate, we saw that the jail cell at the end of the hall was wide open and empty."
40 year old VHS tape? That doesn't seem right, that tape is older than every VHS ever if it's 40 years old. Now lets see here, 40 years ago was... Wait... Oh crap-
The fact that this actually works and looks pretty okay at times, but I drop my phone at a weird angle one time and it stops working entirely is beyond me
@@ongakuwotabeta VHS filters are often used for what I would call “nostalgia bait” to invoke old memories and vibes. MKWii can qualify as an example of this in some forms. By “on the interesting side” I mean by actually showing the glitchy nature of old VHS tapes rather than filters and also that it does look like analog horror.
@@turbomario i'm a bit skeptical because it's 60fps, i had a VHS and VCR and i used to record occasional gameplay with friends, but i only am retrospectively assuming VHS wasn't capable of 60fps because they were made for film
Reminds me of when I used to play Sonic 1 on my old TV, I had to give a slight slap on top of the TV to make the image go from this to a more stable quality. lol
Those capacitors are running full beans after not being used for 40 years Reminds me how I used to take videos of me playing games. Learned it from my dad and was too dumb to learn about capture cards-
It feels so weird seeing a game that isn't made before 2002 recorded on a tape but at the same time it's kinda calming because it's on a tape
Play the Disney bumpers and you’ll feel at home
Except for me I get an uncomfortable feeling for personal reasons lmao
Lately I’ve been recording some 360 games and even some of my personal videos on both vhs and Betamax. Unsure if I’ll upload them tho.
@@ZackeryMccoy-d9e Betamax holy crap dude
Nah, I’ve seen it done with the PS2 games lol. They were playing tony hawk online
my nana still has a bunch of vhs and betamax tapes even though she got rid of her vcrs and some other tapes
Next: record Mario Bros. 1 with a 80 year old film camera and 80+ year old expired 8mm film
yessir
that would be funny to watch
A lost recording or a dead civilization. This vhs is all that remains of the quaint video game series "Mario Kart".
Erm actually I don't think a gimmick RUclips video using an outdated technology would be used to preserve history☝️🤓
Looks surprising good for a 40 year old device, it's impressive how well these things hold up
HE FELL IN THE LAVA AND STILL MADE IT?
Waluigi is lava-proof
The power of *WAAAAAAAAA-*
Just the respawn points are broken.
2005 recordings according to analog horror
Da
this feels like a RUclips video from 2010 and idk why
It's probably the clunky title, the fact that the video is exactly as described in the title, there is zero commentary, and the video starts on the opening menu.
And the 4:3 resolution
The 60fps helps too
@@Schnort sad that "video is exactly as described in title" is something noteworthy these days.

Too much analog horror uses old VHS footage and too many jumpscares instead of actually trying to be scary.
It's because it's kinda blurry and horror thrives off of lese detail
@@nancymeeks9144it's also why you can make a horror film for far less than a James Bond movie
When they are being used for their original purpose it's not scary
Everything scares kids these days
Say what you will about analog horror, but the fact this is authentic on a real VHS tape will never not be insanely cool and novel.
It'd be cool to see more modern games in this format
This format is overused in most modern games (specifically horror games)
@@jeisonpineda2404 outside of horror games that definitely isn't the case, but I was thinking of non-horror modern games

the worst part is that it looks better than the average youtube video from the time when this game came out
0:10 I legit thought it say “Your Torment is Underway”
The creepiest part of this video is the driving
I remember the static on blockbuster movies I rented in the 90s.
its not weird that people thought that video games before looked real when the video quality to absolutely everything had the same style
"...And then a bloody satanic Waluigi plush appeared on my bed and screamed YOU'RE LOUSY!"
And then the Wii exploded, blew both my legs off and set the house on fire.
Oh yeah, and a skeleton popped out.
and there was hyper-realistic blood
HAVE A ROTTEN DAY!

@404TVfr Lol. I was half-asleep when I wrote this and I couldn't find a better answer to cover my stupid first reply.
Ah, low quality VHS recordings…My childhood.❤❤❤❤
I genuinely like what it does to the sound quality. Like I want to hear the whole soundtrack like this.
Something about this just feels right to be honest
This is the first step to making a fake anti-piracy creepypasta

*late
yep it thought slp/ep was sp
the quality combined with the bowser music is oddly eerie.
but this is a very fascinating thing to watch
if cloud gaming was mainstream in the late 2000s but used satellite instead of broadband
Then Waluigi with hyper realistic blood coming from his eyes turned to the screen and said. Wah
Now all you need is some spooky stuff and you've got yourself an anti-piracy video!
Mario Kart Wii released in 1949, feel old yet?
This is so comforting. Brings me back to my childhood with my fat CRT television and poorly recorded movies.
I had my volume down, just in case an anti piracy screen popped up.
When it isn't being a glitchy piece of shit, it's actually looks pretty cool. I dig the aesthetic.
yeah vhs tapes look very retro with the muffled audio and the color bleeding
can't believe 2008 was 40 years ago
Hearing Waluigi (Charles Martinet) adds me 100 years 😂
I’ve done something like this before with a vhs tape for fun. Heaven knows where that tape is now.
i do glitchy stuff with my tapes too
the quality is way better than school security cameras
It was a night like no other… my parents just bought Mario kart Wii. I open up the game and saw Mario WITH RED EYES!!!!
I knew something was up when the Main Menu only had Mario and a kart
I guess Luigi has a good reason to try and top his brother
this really gives me nostalgia of when you'd see early builds of games in commercials back in the day, it just has that exact vibe and idk why
RUclips: turns video quality to 144p
The video now:
This looks super satifying to watch for no reason
literally analog horror. i can imagine waluigi slowly driving through, as the originally laughing thwomps from the N64 version make a comeback. and then it fades to black with a camera on the imprisoned thwomp.
The fact you can even do this is a testament to how well that tech holds up.
bro is using his nes to play mariokart wii
How to make a creepypasta video
record it on VHS and play it back
Rinse and repeat
Waluigi sounds like he's having such a good time. Good for him
The VHS tape effect is a symbolism of what distant memories feels like.
This is like trying to remember a thing from your childhood, but you can only seem to piece together a distorted image…
With the quality of the tape this is making me feel nostalgic like this fr could be from the 80s
Holy crap, that VCR is older than my mom and was made when my dad was 4 years old. Really puts into perspective how old it is.
AND THEN MARIO SCREAMED AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF HIS EYES!!!
4:30 *dancing AOL yellow stick figure GIF*
Fun fact this was recorded In 2048
"Because I can"
- The Wii House, probably
I am amazed the VCR still works well enough to record this!
Creative and cool 🎉
this looks amazing, as someone interested in the 1980s this looks sick
POV: It’s 2008, you just got MarioKart Wii and are recording your gameplay on the old family VCR that is long overdue a head clean
its the tape thats damaged and dirty
why is the quality actually okay
I love how all the wall bumps could've been avoided with inside drift
This proves Mario Kart Wii is 40+ years old. How else would this footage have been obtained?
Thank you not making some "haunted beta" bullshit. You rock.
this is what mario kart wii feels like to remember
The crunch makes it sound so creepy when the race starts
this seems like something you would see out of an analogue horror
I love how the screen just goes crazy when connecting online lol
Bring this Tape back to 84', Minds would be Blown.
the sound of my child hood when i used to play on my parent's big ol crt :)
I now understand why all the video from the 80s sounded so warbly
I think it's kind of interesting to see that internet connectivity messes with the recording
This just screams nostalgic for me
"this was the last ever footage of waluigi before his disappearance, when we went to the castle to investigate, we saw that the jail cell at the end of the hall was wide open and empty."
The drifting is so good i think its better than later versions of mario kart.
Incredibly soothing ngl
Just as a distant familiar memory, happy but forgettable yet kept present on those cryptic and abandoned places of your brain
That VHS is really dying 😰
it’s probably due to a dirty video head in the vcr itself or just a really worn out tape
@@turbomario oh I see
Wait wtf did you use wiimmfi or was this actually recorded before May 2014? Also this is so oddly nostalgic- 😭🙏
Wiimmfi i think
“And then… Jeff the killer appeared!”
When technology standards were held to "Good enough."
40 year old VHS tape? That doesn't seem right, that tape is older than every VHS ever if it's 40 years old. Now lets see here, 40 years ago was... Wait... Oh crap-
yeah
i am not affected by 40 years ago being 1984
This is how 2060 kids will see mk wii
guys watch this in 140p it makes it look it look like some youtube analog horror
This feels like a glimpse into an alternative reality...
Highest quality 2008 Mario kart Wii video
four and a half minutes of analog horror waluigi sounds
The fact that this actually works and looks pretty okay at times, but I drop my phone at a weird angle one time and it stops working entirely is beyond me
we literally lived with a tv that looked exactly like this when you wanted to play mkwii dont lie
How is he lying?
Nostalgic for a place I've never been
This looks like those vhs filter nostalgia videos but a bit on the interesting side.
This is literally a VHS
no it doesn’t, this is a real tape, it looks ten times better than any of those obviously fake filters lmao

Can I just take a comment to say how much I love when analogue stereo is like that?
Aaahhh! It soothes my mind.

everywhere at the end of Mario Kart Wii
Great video. Brings back so many memories
For 1984, it really is crazy.
