Nintendo World Championship Play Video - 16 years later

[RW00632]

id rather kill myself than have this game...

[mariogamefreak1]

this is the reproduction cartidage.

[thompson8305]

anyone ever jump over the flag pole in mario? i did it a few times. it just keeps repeating the scene and you can't get back until you run out of time.

[TrenchAce]

dude, hold the "UP" arrow on Rad Racer to accelerate faster, and hit down to change the music.

[NEScRETRO]

i always kinda enjoyed rad racer...

[markmarques]

Tampa, i came third. i had the highest qualifying score at the event of 3.2mil in my bracket. I messed up in tetris in the final and only got 1.2mil. I remember it like yesterday.

[1989gamemaster]

How could this one be so expensive? Just three games in one go, and it's short. :P

[flexyldy]

@1989gamemaster THERE ARE ONLY 26 GOLD ONES!!! And 90 grey ones!!!

[Derek105Huey]

people pay over 10 thousand for this game? for three demoish games? my god, people are idiots.

[mariogamefreak1]

@Derek105Huey Its the reproduction cartidage

[StormOwI]

I think this is where nintendo got there idea of Wario Ware

[Special3dward]

Nintendo should make this game a Wii and/or DSi download.

[10princeofpersia]

Too bad they don't do this stuff now.

[NEScRETRO]

@10princeofpersia

they do... it's called MLG and it's FUCKING STUPID AS HELL

[oneUNITED7SS]

DUMP IT!

[IGN4CI0]

anyone knows the difference between gold cartridge and normal cartridge? only the color? xD

[Muncey]

only 26 gold ones were made, worth around 20g's.

[evildead818]

@IGN4CI0 ya the color and also the gold ones were a grand prize u take home

[resettimanalt]

Seeing that the 20 year anniversary of the Nintendo World Championship is coming, shouldn't nintendo hold a new nintendo world championship? Nintendo world championship 2010 (on wii)? This is how I think it would go...

Collect 50 coins in new super mario bros. wii

Complete a few laps in excite truck

And spend the rest of your time in either tetris party or Dr. Mario online Rx

[hatae55]

gah! no more christmas songs! (tetris)

[MrStalyn]

$17.500! OMG... you could buy like 58 ps3 with that amount of money lol!

[6ixtynin9]

Or pay off your student loans, or buy a car.... Fucking JJ Hendricks...

[stonezeppelinp]

Why these three games? By 1990 there was a ton of great games for the nes.

[TheDanman64]

I can't believe a gold nes cartidge sold over $17,500! It's not even real gold!

[mattyman17]

you do realise if it was real gold, it would be very heavy, and probably wouldnt work..

[TheDanman64]

True, true.

[OhNoNotMyPenis]

@TheDanman64

its probly because its so rare

[NFS4LFE]

For $17,500, I'd buy a good used car. If I had more money to purge, I'd definatly check this out... or just play Mario, Rad Racer, and Tetris in the same fashion.

[gaaralee1234]

I'd buy it.....

[AdzTurner]

Asa 26 year old myself, I've notived how muxch

[Bryceguy]

$17, 000 and I bet he still has to blow in the stupid cartridge like twenty times just to get the game to work.

[kukuJack]

17.5k =.=

is the recession still going on?

[gaaralee1234]

lol

[JuanDHexen]

This is worth $17,000!? could somebody shoot me cause I don't understand this world anymore.

[BarryShane1Monstrok]

THere is only 26 appartanly made

[sniperwarrior23]

And 12 exist today

[jaredb4213]

only the gold cartridge is worth 17000

[joshuarivera86]

same here.

btw. if you dont collect any coins in the mario part can you play it all thr way through?

[reillo9]

i dont think so i think there is a time limit

[VICIOUS]

yahoo news said someone just paid 17,000 for one, that's the only reason why Im watching this

[Trackwrita]

Thats crazy i just read the same thing, thats why im watching this.

[JBOTTSIOWA]

me too :)

[crazyjorge2111]

Me too. on yahoo news.

[kissmyfeetnab]

me 3

[brieyhleai]

same thing here, lol

[PepperzEntertainment]

oh my god me too

[invisiblebears]

Just posted my gray cart on ebay, pm me for more info.

[seanjohn135]

now that i finished collecting all nes games. im gonna move on to killing rare animals.

[brickman409]

if I had one of those super rare nintendo world champion carts bought for $100000000000000 Id be afraid to even pick it up

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

HOWD YOU GET IT TO START?

[DrLove0378]

This game is started by pressing the Controller 2 start button. (For the competition, they had a switch rigged up that started all the cartridges at once.)

[KEEGOLD305]

if you want to see exactly what this is its a one of a kind unit some guy is selling on ebay for 50 grand may be the rarest gameing piece ever .

[clownkilleristaken]

But, since this holy cartridge isn't even worht that kind of money, you can simply buy a reprodutcion ^^ (btw. anybody got a rom of this game?)

[scir91]

um this game was out on emulation a LONG time ago. besides, it is now available on cartridge as a reproduction. get with the news

[ternaldo]

dude, you have no idea how much the original carts are worth do you?

[Criscokilika]

This game sold for over $20,000 on eBay!!!!

[t2048]

I'm pretty sure this video was created with an emulator playing the NWC ROM. I've posted a video of the real cart, you can find it in my video section.

[tanel21]

If it's emulated, then I'd really love to check it out; try the rom. But as far as I'm concerned, this game cannot be emulated, except the title screen, because of the uniqe switch system on the cart. Am I right?

[Jorisd]

no, you're not :)

it can't be emulated, obviously, for legal reasons. Technical limitations are there to be beaten, and have been beaten. The DIP switches are no problem for - for example - Nestopia, or so I've heard.

[seifer22532]

To get past the title screen, you will need to hit start on controller 2 IIRC. To emulate it, I do remember some emulator that will run this rom, since it uses a different mapper compared to all the other games out there.

[scir91]

i played this on a ROM using NESten as the emulator. seifer22532 is right. you need to hit start on p2 and then you can play. the timing is based on the actual competition.

[ndawgtkd]

WOW doesnt one of those carts sell for like 6000? i would sit on it for like 20 more years then auction that bad boy off

[scir91]

you can make a lot more money playing the stock market over those 20 years and then buy back about 5 of these carts.

[digiprez77]

not so much...

[RedSalamander]

Seemed shorter than it should've been. Nice job here. By the way, is Rad Racer really a good game?

[NightmareJames]

I hate Rad Racer personally. I am not really a racing game fan, and the engine was REALLY bad. I'd take Mario Kart over that anyday.

-James

[spectre0618]

Rad Racer kicked ass. To this day it is still my favorite racer of all time. The graphics and play are shit by todays standards (it came out when i was in JK.) But it really was a fun game.I hope it comes out on virtual console.

[icemn187]

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I was the Indianapolis winner for 12-17, great to see this live on more than what Nintendo let it. Thanks again, now its time to pull out the ole NES and my NWC cartridge.

[kidloco]

olds times old good times

(crying of melancolia

[NightmareJames]

175,000 first round, 260,000 second. The 375,000 was in the semi-finals. I placed 13th in NY/NJ in the 10-

-James

[NightmareJames]

Thanks, I did play. I scored 375,000 when I played. Not good enough though.

I knew something was wrong with the timing switches though.
