Nintendo World Championship 1990 Reproduction Review

[joelcr250]

There should be another compitition !, start some new history. Someone, email Nintendo Power !

[ParanoiaGentlman]

26 blue eyes white dragons

[cyndie26]

1) There are blue reproduction cartridges you can buy for cheap.

2) I think there should be a version for the wii.

[cyndie26]

@cyndie26 3) I might have lied about the reproduction cart. To play the game, you might need to actually manufacture the game.

[TeamSima]

@CMDRKillsalot why spend $1,500 on an SJC crush card virus or SJC cyber stein if you're not going to use it? Why spend $5,000 on a pair of Nike Air Mags if you aren't going to wear them? It's not the fact that you are not going to use it, it's the fact that's it's collectible and rare and there is always a collector out there who wants to be able to say, "yeah, I have that, it's so cool." And most of the time it's not the company who sets the price, it's the secondary market who sets the price

[NESAtariSegaNerd]

They raised the price from $45 to $55. :(

[RyuyashaX]

Heres how to get a gold NWC cheap. You get a copy of LoZ and NWC Repo. Then you open the two up and switch the motherboards and stuff. Then rip the Zelda label off and glue on a NWC thing from the internet. There you go.

[MrWario3]

@RyuyashaX it wont work. The real gold has dip switches on the top left. While the reproduction cartridge has its own version on the middle left.

[PoopingForPoopers]

now there the emulators. if i wanted to play this game i would just get the emluator

[TheSmashbros45]

the reproduction cart looks better than the grey and the gold one

[typeanoise]

I found a gold one at a garage sale and didn't know what it was but it had a crack in the plastic on the back. Still have it in a box somewhere.

[sparta944]

I would of won tetris

[plasticPlaystation]

angry video game nerd

[USKZ92]

In the en when the guy said "i feel happy" it reminds me of the speech of giygas from earthbound.

[thevgman]

AVGN didn't smash the games!! Watch the AVGN video after the end credits.

[ThePowerGamePlayer]

You Guys AVGN did not smash them. Thumbs up for people to see. He really didn't smash it. :P AT the end of the video he showed the real ones. The ones he smashed was a fake.

[MrWario3]

@ThePowerGamePlayer yeah he smashed a top gun cartridge and legend of zelda cartridge

[Blackbohnster]

Its not right. 25 gold ones exist. The Angry Videogame Nerd destoryed one copy.

[MirathGames]

@Blackbohnster i think its fake coz WHY THE HELL HE WOULD DESROY IT FOR VIDEO!?!?!?!??!!

[Blackbohnster]

@MirathGames He had 2 copys of the grey and the gold one as I saw in the video.

[CMDRKillsalot]

What kind of idiot would pay $10,000 for a cartridge, which was basically the NES version of demo discs (only 3 games, none of which were the full game)?

Biggest...Nintendo...Wallet...­Rape...EVER!

[GameAtHeart]

@CMDRKillsalot 90 Grey exists, 26 Gold exists. Rare for Gaming Collection Value. They're not buying it for 3 Games in 1....

[CMDRKillsalot]

@GameAtHeart So why hunt for a gold plastic cart and spend $10,000 if you not even going to play it? It's a waste of money, and still Nintendos biggest wallet rape of all time!

[Barbarian74]

@CMDRKillsalot How is Nintendo "wallet raping" anybody here? They gave away every single one of those cartriges that are out there for free. The Gray ones to the finalists of the tourney and the gold ones to the winners of the Nintendo power contest.

[tightlypackedcoil]

@CMDRKillsalot Comprehension is obviously not your strong suit.

[bowlmonster]

the nerd just smashed 1 gold and 1 grey cart

[ThePowerGamePlayer]

@bowlmonster Haha! You now he really didn't smash it. :P AT the end of the video he showed the real ones. The ones he smashed was a fake.

[patko1610]

i just watched the newst avgn episode (one with this game) and hes got a good point .... its a piece of shit cause its just 3 games that you can normally play full

[Garfuck]

I smell inflation :)

[thenesmaster]

one day i will get this game for the sake of my name.

[jeff97ish]

Rad Racer was ahead of its time. Thumbs up if you agree!

[Johnmcdodger]

Those are pretty hard to locate, some american names, one finnish name ... and japan name?

[radonas]

the was one for sale for 5$ few years ago should have bought it...

[dmcintyre90]

And Also I can't figure out how to get past the title screen. I'm playing on an nes emulator called virtual nes

[mariofan718]

@dmcintyre90 Me too.

[supereggbros]

@dmcintyre90 you have to press select on the second controller

[dmcintyre90]

Did The Game Have A Box When They Were Sold?

[Tainosan11]

I own one of the original grey carts, I will soon be doing a review on it. But it was nearly impossible to get! I won it in an EBay giveaway. And I am glad I have it! :D

[ParanoidMilitantNyc]

Wish I had this game,I do have flinstones and ducktales 2 and that bubble bobble 2 game

[BouncekDeLemos]

I would pay extra or donate one of my Zelda games to get a gold one made!!

[lolzvid]

THIS GAME WAS VERY RARE...

[supereggbros]

@lolzvid no dip

[TheDoopliss2]

Thumbs Up If AVGN Sent You Here

[batusai005]

JAJAJAJA DIP SWITCH XD

[ChadFool]

I know a way to make a FAKE holy grail cart.

[RSXemperor]

@Pro21xx I think a Coke can is worth more than the X-Box 360.

[evildead818]

1:01 CALIFORNIA! lol never gets old!

[saythanx]

@Pro21xx have fun playing games that i can download in like 5 sec's and great job man buying somthing you wernt apart of

[RSXemperor]

@saythanx By the way, for the love of god stop playing Halo and please use that time to work on putting together a sentence and some proper grammar. If you are going to troll, at least don't embarrass yourself.

[BrooklynBros]

Oh my god I'm not lying, my uncle has the gold cart which he said he won and he gave it to me last month! Oh my god I can't believe it I'm going to be rich!

[screamfreak79]

The wizard was a great movie. If I remember I think it came out near the time Mario 3 dropped. The greatest nes game of all time....period!

[JaredTheOmega12]

@screamfreak79 yeah lol. it was basically a trailer for the up and coming super mario 3

[fmdof]

there was a gold on ebay bout a year ago. 25,000 BIN.

[saythanx]

haha @jmdirty23 your a joke i wanted to see the most expensive game ever and this bs pop's up some mario tetris game thats retarded.. this game blows i couldnt play 2 minutes of this shit and ive play'd all games warcraft 3 halo cod4 diablo counter strike half life, the only game im even playing is heroes of newerth

[jpsplat]

@saythanx you fucking idiot it's not necessarily about the game itself, it's a COLLECTORS ITEM. Do you think people would really pay that much for this game just because they wanted to play it? No, you fucking retard. Use some common sense next time.

[RSXemperor]

@saythanx Halo is for fags like you. You aren't a real gamer. Just some X-Box loser living in your parents basement jaking off to Call of Doody: Modern Unoriginality. Get lost punk.

[saythanx]

@RSXemperor your remix of b.i.g with tekken is gay

[hitachi088]

one of my friend got a grey one ...

[yvaaar]

thats worth a lot of money dude

[DarkAvatar1313]

Of course THOR won the championships

[jakeneko]

okay all i have to say is ide kill someone for a gold version...and also call of duity sucks, you kids have no idea what videogaming really is or came from. ide sell my soul for the rarest video games ever made

[jmdirty23]

saythanx you are a giant fucking idiot. why are u looking this up if all u want to do is shove your tiny dick into your call of duty disc. this game is more timeless and classic then that game and always will be. its worth 20 times more.

[saythanx]

@jmdirty23 okay man collectors item my ass i wanted to know whats the rarest game and to me this is a piece of shit like you so go fuck off you faggot

[saythanx]

@jmdirty23 And WOW u play WOW dont talk to me you fucking loser

[saythanx]

this is the nerdiest shit ever, have you idiots heard of call of duty modern warfare 2

[Xextreem]

You have no idea what gaming is you fucking kid.

[2SixGraders]

This is what gave you Call Of Duty, so I would suggest you stop stuffing your tiny dick into a Call of Duty Disk.

[BalooRJ]

You dumbass, learn to be more open-miinded.

[PNI2]

says the person who probably plays cod mw 2 for like 24/7

[Zeldaartist]

are there any of these that i can get that would play on a PAL Nes system?

[RottenTreat]

IF u "get" one of these put it in a safe dont play it

[johneymute]

if i was the avgn, i shut buy those preproduction nes carts and the powerpak

[Zeldaartist]

"shut" ? somwhere an english teacher is crying.

[jmua04]

Thor Aackerland owns the original. According to legend, he defeated every NES game ever made.

[Nabroleon]

Awesome they raised it's price. But I suppose I can't complain if I get to own the closest thing to the original. A gold one on ebay went for 13k last week, I'm sure it'll be worth SOOOO much more in the future though.

[samariman48]

ive just bught one from retrozone

[ZeroX1803]

@samariman48

what kind man. the grey one or the ultra rarest gold one?

[KEVINMEJIA15]

dude, i'm diyng to get one of those.

[neyeseek]

ya the reason people buy the gold carts is cause they colect rare games, or there looking to buy it now and sell it more in the future. as it gets rarer and rarer.

[6ixtynin9]

No shit! Some rich JJ Hendricks dude bought this shit for $17,500 off ebay. Talk about burning money! There's no damn way in hell would I pay $1000 for a gaming console along with 10 games, let alone a $10,000 outdated NES games. Besides there's more important thing to waste money on.

[resettimanalt]

Nintendo should hold a world championship with the wii. Except this time, it would be actually worldwide!

Collect 50 coins in new super mario bros. wii

Complete a few laps in excite truck

And finally, burn the rest of your time to rack up points in Dr. Mario Rx

[resettimanalt]

Or, instead of Dr. Mario online Rx, it could be tetris party

[BryanTheYellowDart]

The reproduction cart doesnt look anything like the the original. Fail. Add the swithches and put it in a gold case then it would be cool.

[MrNintendofan1985]

man...you would probably be the coolest kid on the block if you won that champion ship and get the gold cartridge game! nowi really wish i was a kid in the 80's/90's

[MEGALENIUM]

I wanted to say 20 thousand dollars

[MEGALENIUM]

This video game now is a collectible slope 20 dollars

[KonataComedy]

You're right, I don't think most people these days would save up over $10,000 for a gold cart. I think I'll buy the reproduction version...

[Stinger2578]

At 0:55 it shows 12-17 as an age range of players. I assume 18+ would be the last category (unless it was limited to gamers 17 and under).

The guy with a mustache at 0:44-45 is very much over 17 years of age.

Thor Ackerlund was also over 11 at the time.

[DuuuuuhWhaaaa]

I met Thor at nintendoage expo 2008. Great guy. I actually have a picture of me and him.

[mattyman17]

haha neeeeeeerd.

[kj122]

2:25 there is a wii sign in the back on the wall.... this is 1990?

[RetrowareTV]

this is a video ABOUT the 1990 NWC repro it was not made in 1990.

[randy22782]

that particular clip in the video is during modern time.

[evildead818]

@kj122 yah a comment from 10 months ago u did HAHA

[Kuroperrock]

@kj122

Asshole.. As you saw the Wii sign, did you also notice the USB wires?? :-P

[marioarty]

@kj122 dumb ass

[smokinbettycrocker]

Holy grail?! Maybe it WAS the the holy grail BEFORE the NWC's rom was dumped online for people to download. I've seen better holy grails in the gaming community like this dude on youtube named Grooveraider he owns not one but TWO Shigeru Miyamoto signed Nintendo games. Its pretty amazing to able to meet someone who basically brought the gaming industry back from the dead. Just imagine when Miyamoto retires. Those signed games are gonna be like the value of "Mona Lisa" !!

[karlozusa69]

shit nigga, just download the fucking rom

[hazzardwantcookies]

what website does that show with the cartridge price?? i want it

[HairyManLegs]

just google it,''it says over 5k''

[hazzardwantcookies]

no in the video he says you can buy the clone. what website iz thatt?????????

[lvmatt05]

[Maliciuos]

People are stupid beyond understanding.

[NateTheGreat555]

Monty Python win.

[nes72pin]

[bast963]

Only 2 million?A TASer on an emulator can get like 5 times that.

[dxbomber]

i can't believe some motherfucker payed 17,550 for the real gold cartage

[xellos49698]

Or you can google the game for free.

[genestarwindjf80]

I saw this on Ebay some idiot wants you to buy it for 3,999.00. Bunch of dumb A. Who the F would spend that much on a mod catridge? The Wizard was my favorite Movie of all time.

[X831HUSTLER]

how much is the zelda gold cart worth?

[nickanddave122]

100$

[Megus17]

how much was the 1st gold cart worth?

[GSCrepresentative]

[510and209]

Some dude actually pay almost 18 g's for a gold one

[lestat34208]

[sergiosssdallas]

[slider103]

[philty619]

[Doommaster1994]

[MarcelGERMAN]

wtf, who the hell would pay 25,000$ for that?

[STEF54]

Assholes made it 50$ now

[invisiblebears]

I have a gray cart, I just posted it on ebay.

[Darkez982]

yeah that was you?...

[invisiblebears]

yea, it sold for $5,200.

[cadefulp]

You should have made that price higher, you dont know how its actually worth.

[evildeadmitch]

The last sold for $ 15,000. I've been watching the 1 on ebay, I don't think it will sell for $25,000.

[6890speed]

Thanks!

[dinoanimal15]

u should send this to the angry video game nerd

[Darkez982]

he has one now

[ShadicChao]

theres a gold cart on ebay right now for

25k

[Teshinator]

To me, the Powerfest '94 cart will always be the holy grail.

[Vi2Tibian]

I want it :D

[kabbage123]

Excellent video! very informative.

[clocksonfire]

Everyone if you would die for a copy then listen to this.

My local play n trade found a copy and there selling it for $2,000

Hurry pack your bags and go to tampa

[kennylikes2lol]

im in FL,where is this at?

[Steelix123]

Its probably gone by now..lol...the holy grail of gaming is not going to sit long.

[Emotionengne]

are you advertising? sounds like that

[D3MAK]

its 55$ now..

[YoshiFan501]

CALIFORNIA!

[bosnia91]

Would have been greater if it where 3 new games and that would never be produced after the competition. That would have been something.

[MetaKnight19]

I have just bought one of these reproduction carts from this site, because the originals are so expensive. i contacted someone on ebay and they wanted $7000 dollars for a grey cart. Although it is worth every penny.

[dezarae1984]

I'm considering perchasing this item. Thanks for posting this video. It would be great if a dvd came out with the actual competition from the various locations. Does such a thing exist?

[XMrStayPuftX]

55 Bucks? Bit too pricey for me.

[smassi123]

Then you don't want to buy the original :D

[XMrStayPuftX]

lol.

[buygamez]

Last grey NWC sold for $6,500.00 and the last gold NWC sold for $15,000.00!

[linuxlove4004]

i thought it was $20,000.00?

[IAmSamThatIAM]

I just looked in ebay, and just for the addmission tickets from the tournament already used with poster. Damn thing is 300 dollars on ebay. What the hell!?

[alexnobody1]

It's interesting that this game is so sought-after. It's so expensive, and it's just SMB, Rad racer, and Tetris with a time limit. Is there any factor besides rarity that makes it valuable?

[GILakaGP3]

is there a rom out for this game

[yoduh1112]

That would defeat the purpose of owning it.

[Someone0like0me]

it dosnt.. collecting value

[DrLove0378]

Yes, there is a ROM available, and it will play on the PowerPak accessory, also from RetroUSB -- but only with the "official" time limit of 6:21. But recently, a new version of the reproduction cart (with DIP switches) was released.

[gamewarrior583]

lol i've always found myself wondering the same thing.

[bookworm3421]

heres your answer:

No, the copyright ran out in 2000 or so, so it is not illegal to do so

[Klibbnisse]

how is that even possible? If US don't have really generous copyright laws it should be like in the rest of the world:

Everything is copyrighted to the creator until about 50 to 70 years after his och her death.

[neddx]

I remember watching the Video Power Special where they went on the scene of this competition. That truly is the Holy Grail for NES fans. I know it's 3 classic games on one cartridge but it's still a piece of history.

[trampolinestunts]

thanks for making the video man that was great and really helpful

[coolmofo30]

How many reproduction carts did they make?

[cheetah672]

Man, I want this cart, but apparantly everybody does. I'd gladly spend the money!
