  1. What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 159

    Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

    Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

    I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

    #1 You Me and the Movies reacts to Wicked City – Having watched lots of anime feature films, OAVs and TV shows before, I never saw Wicked City. Released in 1987, Wicked City is a neo-noir cyberpunk horror anime movie directed by Yoshiaka Kawajiri. YouTuber You, Me and the Movies recently posted a reaction video about Wicked City which is entertaining to watch. That said, it is also their latest anime reaction video and I encourage you to see it.

    #2 Nintendo’s Virtual Boy revisited – I never owned the Virtual Boy from Nintendo. Released in the mid-1990s, it was a table-top game console that displayed stereoscopic 3D graphics which ended up as a major failure for the company. Virtual Boy was designed by the late Gunpei Yokoi who was the same guy behind the Game & Watch and the original Game Boy. To learn about the history of the Virtual Boy and why it was approved for release, watch the video below.

    #3 Tokyo’s midnight restaurants – In Tokyo, life does not simply stop when regular office hours are over. There are people who have unusual working schedules and there are those who are actually living as night-time persons. That said, there are restaurants in Tokyo that fully operate late in the evening. The good news here is that visitors and food lovers can find delicious Japanese meals, fine drinks and more. Watch and learn from the Nippon TV video below.

    #4 Punch-Out!! revisited – When you hear the title “Punch-Out!!”, do you think of the popular Famicom/NES video game that had Mike Tyson, the 1990s Super Punch-Out!! console game, or the original arcade game with the dual-monitor set-up that Nintendo first released in 1984? Indeed, Punch-Out!! went a long way and ultimately, it made video game boxing cartoony, wholesome and fun. To learn how the game franchise started and who exactly were involved, watch the comprehensive video from the late PatmanQC.

    #5 When the Phoenix Suns had Charles Barkley – In 1992, NBA superstar Charles Barkley transferred from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Phoenix Suns. During his first season with Phoenix, the Suns made it to the NBA Finals of 1993 facing off with eventual champion the Chicago Bulls. If you ask me, Barkley’s tenure with the Suns was memorable as he won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award with them and really came close to winning an NBA championship. Nothing has been the same since Barkley left Arizona. For an immersive look back at Barkley’s days as a Phoenix Sun, watch the video below.

    #6 Friday The 13th (1980) reaction videos – What can be said about the original Friday The 13th movie of 1980? Directed by Sean Cunningham, the slasher-horror film made almost $60 million worldwide on a negative cost of a few million Dollars, and it led to many sequels throughout the 1980s. The film was released at a time when many low-budget horror movies were made to cash-in on the success of John Carpenter’s Halloween. In my opinion, the movie itself is dull and it is actually one of the weakest of its franchise. Still, this old movie has impact on YouTubers who saw it for the first time ever. That said, go watch the reaction video below.

  6. Game & Watch: Eine persönliche Zeitreise zu Nintendos kleinen Wegbereitern - von Wolfgang

    TricOtronic, Time Out Game, Game & Watch. Nintendos Meilensteine hatten viele Namen. Allen gemein: die berühmte Uhr, ein Demo-Modus und die Soundkulisse mit den “Beeps”. Ein persönlicher Blick auf kleine und größere Revolutionen in der Spielegeschichte und die Anfänge des Handheld Marktes.

  8. Las GAME&WATCH de Nintendo fueron una serie de 59 juegos portátiles de Nintendo, con pantalla LCD y que además traían reloj y alarma. Se fabricaron desde 1980 hasta 1991.

    En España las conocíamos popularmente como "maquinillas", y hoy en día son verdaderos objetos de coleccionista, especialmente si se consiguen con todas sus piezas y envoltorio original.

    Fueron tan populares que surgieron cientos de imitadores, pero la calidad y originalidad de las máquinas de Nintendo consiguieron que siempre marcasen la diferencia.

    En el vídeo podéis ver cómo se anunciaban en Japón con una música realmente pegadiza.

  9. The second volume of Florent Gorges and Isao Yamazaki's "The History of #Nintendo" is dedicated entirely to the fabulous #GameAndWatch games, a famous line of electronic LCD games which was very popular in the early 80's.

  10. En la lápida de Gunpei Yokoi (creador de la Game Boy y tantas otras cosas), están inscritas para la posteridad sus grandes trabajos en #Nintendo, concretamente se puede leer (imagen 1):

    1968 - Ultra Machine

    1973 - Lasar Clay

    1980 - Ten Billion Barrel

    1980 - Game & Watch

    1989 - Game Boy

    Además, si te fijas hay una Trifuerza (imagen 2)en la lápida, pero no es una referencia a Zelda, es el símbolo de la familia Yokoi (¿coincidencia?), decir que la trifuerza es un símbolo muy utilizado en la cultura japonesa, así como en muchas otras culturas con diferentes significados (imagen 3).

    Desde aquí un nuevo recuerdo para Yokoi, hombre clave en la industria, lo vemos junto a Miyamoto, que creció profesionalmente gracias a él (imagen 4).
