InVideo - Nick Arcade

[cade1221]

I always wondered what the inside of that room was like and how they do that green screens?

[wickidjuggalotus85]

I remember this show! I used to watch this all the time along with global guts and legends of the hidden temple, cant forget salute your shorts.

[MrBaseballhero23]

wat channel was this on?

[chrisdrew00]

@MrBaseballhero23 telemundo. that's why its called NICK arcade.

[metzgermeisterfuchs]

every weekend morning i would watch this show, and soon after I would ask my dad to take me to blockbuster to go rent a super nintendo game. Oh the days.

[NickArcade]

I approve

[MeganMoriyama]

they beat Nickelodeon logic of staging players to lose!!!

[azimuth457]

On their way to beat the wizard!! "Yeh heh heh heh"

[BokoNOM]

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!"

[BaronVonLaladedo]

Is that Chris Rock?

[SNESosT]

I was confused...

[hopelessmusician88]

Make sure you watch the hosts head never move.

[himaru21]

Holy shit I remember watching this show as a kid. I just had the hugest nostalgia trip. Thank you. : )

[IrishEyedBlue]

I remember watching this show quite a while ago

[Drewcifer6789]

I still don't understand how these people knew what the fuck they were doing

[hettbeans]

@Drewcifer6789 They were in a large greenscreen room and were watching themselves on monitors, so they could see themselves in the video game.

[Rubberman202]

Wow, this is actually pretty cool, when the kids know what they're doing...

[rollen01]

this technology is now outdated especially when it was done easier on the playstation 2 with the eye toy. players don't want to watch a screen and react to a mirror image of themselves they want to be immersed deeper and see things in front of them and all around with out the aid of a mirror

[WammyGiveaway]

Is there a "Making-Of" video for the Video Zone in Nick Arcade?

[Stormzyz1998]

what the fuck, it looks like they have no idea what is going on....

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

tha last one shouldn't have counted, he got the last orb just after the clock went to 0

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

@Wheeloffortunefan999

Actually, the clock is set at 60 seconds, but right when the game starts, it reads 59 (as if it were counting much like a stopwatch ticking down). Personal observation.

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

not the point,

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

this show starts on me being in to games

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

this show starts on me wanting games

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

OMG i remember this show very well man i really miss the good ol days

[deemoe803]

they got the fuck off lol

[BiGSaUcY88]

HAHAHA their names are Clint and Stacy

loved this show

[caLi2o9]

Best show ever man the good ol days

[spicypeanut103]

i wanted to fight mongo so badly when i was little

[classicnickfan1416]

They should make a behind the scenes video similar to what they did with Double Dare showing what it looks like when you go in the video zone.

[xsailor85]

thats was a favorite show of mine. Pity it doesn't come on anymore.

[TheRaker55]

@xsailor85 Yeah I miss watching this on Nick-GAS (NIckelodeon Games & Sports they got rid of that & need to bring that back as well).

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

@TheRaker55

Cable nixed Nick GaS in around 2006-2007, and Dish Network took it off in 2009. STUPID DECISIONS BY BOTH SIDES.

[TheRaker55]

@VikutaaChyaaruzu That's true.

[sonicbn]

i wanted to go in the game room so bad back then i would win always

[helloofiree]

ha i loved this host

[phantom12321]

as a kid this always mezmorized as I couldn't understand how they did that lol

[xFIRERUSHx]

wait, if the game screen is done with green screen, then that means this show is staged!

[bjacquard]

you was the enemy on that episode with the food fight level played?

and does anyone know how many times mikey hit the smooch aliens in the nick arcade episode featuring chris/dana/ vs vanesa/joshua?

[wschmrdr]

@bjacquard Scorcia, part of WeGot'eMall

[TheMrpalid]

i used to want to jump in that screen so bad

[cstring420]

Terrible editing job, cutting off the ending of some of the bonus rounds.

[damnbama]

Rock Rock the planet rock, don't stop!

[speedracer2005]

lol I remember waking up super early to watch this show.

[trivia202003]

During the Merlock Segment they did it with no time remaining.

[miketh2005]

obese and brain dead

[AdpBalla]

where's is the nick arcade theme already?

[joebruceman]

the game is done on a green screen

[Moondogg22]

Damn! Look at that Josh kid rocket through that first thing.

[TikiAce]

Never seen someone opt to go under the waterfall instead of over it with the rope, or someone actually able to jump over the tumbleweeds.

[nickoldeon90]

this is a studio master cool

[adamndirtyshame]

this makes me smile. for all their nintendos and segas, the japanese still cant put a kid in a video game. i have no idea how they did it, and frankly it seems impossible, unfathomable, but with a little bit of hard work and a lot of luck we must have done it somehow. im honestly going to forward this to the japanese foriegn ministry, make em good and jealous. theyll never control us, and theyll sure as hell never control me. my grandfather served in world war 2.

[justrude88]

sdfu...

[xFIRERUSHx]

@adamndirtyshame this show is staged

[DeanFriedman]

@xFIRERUSHx You're mistaken, Firerush. The players are watching themselves on large TV monitors (off screen) and are reacting in real-time to the animated objects that are flying around them. The green-screen technology allows them to see themselves immersed in a dynamic and responsive virtual world - but every duck, leap, grab and dodge is the real-time visceral response of the players interacting 'live' to the virtual world. There's nothing 'staged' about it.

[xFIRERUSHx]

@DeanFriedman oh. well that must suck. it would be very confusing.

[twist58]

@DeanFriedman. Your analysis must explain why the players can't seem to get the pattern just right during gameplay. Whoever the hell said it's staged, doesn't know sh**!

[wschmrdr]

@twist58 It's like instantly becoming weathermen. You have to mirror your actions as well.

[Dreznin]

Wow, childhood memories...

[AdpBalla]

Can somebody upload the all nick arcade theme?

[DeanFriedman]

... The distinction may seem subtle but is significant. One could view it as simulated VR vs real VR (yeah, I know, we've entered the land of oxymorons, and I'm one of them). I would still maintain the contention that Eat-a-Bug was the first true VR game for TV. But I acknowledge that the issue is arguable. In any case, Knightmare is truly awesome! A tip of the hat to it's creators. And then some.

[DeanFriedman]

Knightmare was clearly groundbreaking and brilliantly conceived and executed. But while it makes rich use of chroma-key in realizing a virtual world, I get the strong impression that the interactivity is manually triggered by external human control within the slow-paced ruleset of an RPG, whereas InVideo's interaction was automated as a result of camera-based, object-collision detection, thus lending itself to the fast-paced, visceral interaction reflected in the Nickelodeon games...

[DragonLord1975]

First of it's kind in the U.S.. Knightmare was the first in the world to use that technology.

[Shavo358]

I used to want to go into that game room more than anything in my life.

[DustinWS6]

Amen

[dim432]

4:02 im not sure he go their in time

[SmashFiles]

he shouted 'THEY DID IT'

[Anonym0109]

I think that the time functions like lives in a videogame. It lists bonus lives so when it reads zero it means it's your last life. So as long as they're within as second of the timer reading zero, they're good. ...I guess.

[superchampion88]

If you freeze at 4:01, it appears her hand is touching it with the counter still at 01, so I think they still won legitimately.

[blaktigr84]

Damn. I miss that Game Show

[turbografx]

nice video!

Do you have any video of Eat-A-Bug from

Total Panic?

I remember watching Total Panic every Sunday morning in late '89 and early '90 !

[steeliesin07]

look at josh go he is like super man
