Nintendo NES Satellite Review w/ Rad Racer

[demonseed2]

Hey

Isn't super off road 4 players? super spirng?

[Skyler774]

Holy shit! Is that a freakin' hover board from back to the future next to your T.V!!! O_O!!

[neos2003]

Hey cool, I know this video is a year old, but I noticed you have a BTTF hoverboard lying around. Props for that!

[catlinmassier]

wow 6 c batteries, those are expensive batteries arent they, whats the diffrence between this is and four score, seems like the four score would be better since you can just plug it in

[DeviousTelevision]

@catlinmassier Four Score isn't wireless. That's the whole purpose of this video. I bought this unit new in 2007 and it's been running on the same batteries ever since without a problem. And if you can't afford batteries you probably shouldnt be buying video games.

THE NES FREAKIN RULES!!!!!

[DeviousTelevision]

@shippo8123 YOU FREAKIN RULE!!!!!

[shippo8123]

@DeviousTelevision SO DO U

[SinisterSally]

the IR is not the reason for lag in early wireless controllers. it's going a the speed of freaking light. it's not how face it get's the signal but how fast it processes it. I got one along time ago for 5 bucks it work great, the batteries last forever it seems like, and even when you got 4 controllers going at the same time there's virtually no lag.

oh man this thing surely needs a clip to attach it to a belt. imagine the action when jumping around in your room with the lightgun!

[retrogameingroom]

Is that a hover board in the left side, during rad racer?

[DrPiDude]

@retrogameingroom I was just about to post that same comment!

[daleyboy89]

i bet you this has less lag on it than the wii control! i hate playin mario bros or anything for that matter on wii because of the control lag!

[MrXedres]

oh yeah its like a portable controller

[DeviousTelevision]

UPDATE - 6 mos later and the Satellite is still going strong without having to change the batteries. It gets about 3 hours of play per week on average. Control is still responsive and precise from 8-10 feet away. Pretty great stuff for being 20+ years old!

[citywill2]

@DeviousTelevision actually its called the satellaview

[DeviousTelevision]

@citywill2 Actually it's not. The Satellaview was a satellite modem for SNES. It had nothing to do with wireless control on the NES. Source: wikipedia/wiki/NES_Satellite .:. wikipedia/wiki/Satellaview

[nintendoatarikiller]

I like your hoverboad

[PoHakk]

Fuck yeah. I love the NES.

[DeviousTelevision]

@PoHakk Fuck yeah, PoHakk!

[bash26589]

Wow a hoverboard review it you know you wanna pleasssssssssseeeee :D

[OnoSendai8]

This looks amazing! I never saw any accessories beyond the NES Advantage/Max when I was a kid. Great video!

[DeviousTelevision]

@OnoSendai8 THANKS ONO! A lot of people perceive the NES Satellite as a 4-Player adapter for NES over anything else. I disagree. In my opinion, that's not what makes the Satellite so useful today. The Four Score was a 4-Player adapter too, and since there aren't many 4-Player games it's not that big of a deal. What I find the NES Satellite most useful for today is the highly-accurate wireless gameplay which we have become so accustomed to. It's a great unit and it's good on batteries. I love it!

[thenintendogamer]

Back to the Future hoverboard :D And nice video you made there, maybe I can find one eventualy.

[Sincere780COE]

i own satellite too, I'm jus wondering what games are four player> I f you could help me out with this one I'd appreciate it. I know Nightmare on elm strret is 1 and a few racing.

[edwinmusic]

Amazing!

[bigdawg8412]

I just found out about this accessory when I was looking up NES replacement parts. Seems pretty cool. It's actually pretty cheap to buy one on eBay. The only negative thing I see is all the batteries that it uses.

[cutechristine89]

I want to steal your hoverboard....you know I see that chillin' on the wall
