The NES is Still Alive (Happy 25th Birthday!)

[YoshiProgrammer]

Dunno about you, but I sang along :-)

[thegamerguru97]

This song is the NES's message to the XBOX 360

[Holycow164]

thumbs up if you sang along.

[Elnxida]

'Course, the NES would be male, since I can't do a female voice just yet...

You put some real thought into this. Good job, mate.

[Elnxida]

This made me want to drive the 12 hour distance between me and my NES and give it a hug. I would say "Don't worry, I don't have Intel PC, and I still like saving princesses. I love you, NES. I'll make you a sammich.". I think I might even cry.

Oh, if I can get my hands on a wordless "Still Alive" (Not the menu version, but one with the same tempo as this one), I'll sing this for free.

[Holycow164]

@Elnxida if i had one, i'd make it a sammich. a bacon samich even.

[Elnxida]

@Holycow164 You'd give it your bacon? I'd bring it, and a Portable TV to Subway so it can order what it wants, since it's singing anyways... /Then/ I'd wake up.

[johannhowitzer]

So many parodies are crappy and contrived; this one is not. I tip my hat to you, sir.

[pomeroy600287]

At the end: "lie. lie. lie. lie. lie. lie."

[johneymute]

it,s so hard to believe that the nes saved the video game market and blasted new live into it.

it was nintendo,s best sold console ever with the best sold game ever smb1,till recent shortly exceeded by the wii and wii sports game wich breaked nintendo,s own record,it blasted new concepts in video games,like never before,it even reached number 1 despites it was released 1 year later.

[panaliga]

I miss my NES

[megustaface]

This song is so fucking played out.

[JohnnyP625]

Excuse me? I'm new to the NES homebrew. I'm just a newbie. that's all.

[TheCYBERvideos]

OMG! Nintendo nes is still alive???

[koffiewolf]

THE NESS IS A LIE!

[MrNorbert1994]

@koffiewolf Excuse me?

[koffiewolf]

@MrNorbert1994 ...nvmd it  wash tinking it wash funny.

[1djfh11]

valve is a man made u.s gaming company no one from any country can mess with them.

[nintendork64]

Oh dear... The text overflowed...

Dern byte limitations!

[mazterarius]

This was the first place I discovered the "Still alive"-tune. I thought it was some japanese origin, but it's from Portal? A Valve-game?

[MacintoshX5]

You sir, are epic win

[afroblademaster]

w-wow...even tho i grue up in the snes/n64 gen. this moved me, i almost cried and i never cry. i LOVE the NES, it has some of the best games ever, all because they didn't/couldn't focus on graphics so they make better game play and the 8-bit music has always been awesome (even on the games of epic failure)

[Nevetsboy2]

"STILL ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE.­..ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIV­E...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...AL­IVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...­ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE.­..ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIVE...ALIV­E!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PaperFanblade]

What about the brown box, not a huge success?

[IAMSoBoredIMade]

I'm I the only one who plays my NES now?



[legofanatic1]

@IAMSoBoredIMade I play my SNES if that counts! 23 years old today..man, times fly!:D

[VTEySAG]

@IAMSoBoredIMade Certainly not. I still play Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Adventure and Zelda II.

The NES is Still Alive!!!

[MegaLinkman1]

@IAMSoBoredIMade Nope. I do.

[MrNorbert1994]

@IAMSoBoredIMade No, I'm still love it.

[agiar2000]

I was literally moved to tears by the lyrics. I'm so glad that I still have my old NES. I have taken care of it, cleaned its motherboard, and replaced a screw and the 72-pin connector. I love you, my companion-NES.

[51vk5]

LOVE IT!

[MisterShuckle]

You just made me feel nostalgic for a console I wasn't around to enjoy properly. Congrats on being awesome. ^_^

[megamanROX142]

The NES is like a brother to me. And to all of us. :)

[animatedtacoX]

@megamanROX142

amen man

[MacWii]

The NES may be Still Alive, but is Still Crashed :P

[WeretFilms]

2:33

lol Konami Code.

[WeretFilms]

Eh, NES is nothing to the MSX

[mushroomanchilli]

was that the "grey screen of death" at the beginning and end?

[Strakester]

That actually happens on a real NES if the the cartridge can't be read.

[koolkat104]

hahahahahhah! I LOVE IT!! EPIC WIN!!!!! Woot! I still want my cake =(

[tommyv2468]

alive alive alove alive alive alive alive alive alive......more alives....alive alive alive alive

[ninendowii2000]

my nes still works lol

[U900Real1]

The NES is still alive lol

[Champ1993]

May the NES (and SNES) live forever!!!

Super Mario Bros. 1-3,

Contra, Zelda 1 and 2, Gradius, Final Fantasy,

Castlevania 1-3 and so on and so on:

YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

[zeratul575]

the NES is the meaning of HUGE SUCCESS

i love this vid

5/5

faved

[Ghostkid825]

Wow. I was expecting the standard song played with beeps and blips. You went above and beyond! INCREDIBLE!

[NuggetPumpkin]

i'm probably not gonna download this rom

[Bitchtiki]

the words on the background are /fail

[henritje19]

it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside in an 8bit way

[rolaahp]

I feel the same, im happy I buy a 72 pin connector so to keep mor alive my NES

[386sky]

You're now just typing in the lyrics by adding some hyphens next time you're using Virtual Box.

[henritje19]

check the link its an actual NES homebrew there also exist a rom of it you can run it with an NES emulator (like Jnes) or put it on an NES flash card (yes they exist)

[DarkKnight376]

And by Jnes you mean FCEUX right?

[henritje19]

never heard of FCEUX but I use Jnes works great!

[PokefanLoojopop]

I LUV THIS PARODY! (This is what happens when Nintendo buys out Aperature Science XD)

...at "intel pc", I half expected it to say "Nintendo wii". lol.

Music and lyrics...genius. And remember, your NES will never threaten to stab you. XD

[Aang1]

Wow, that ROM is epic. Just remember, to get any NES cartridge working, you have to blow on it, wiggle your credit card on it, and while you close the lid, you MUST play easy listening music, those were the days...(even though it's 10 years older than me :()

[XavierAXB]

This makes me want to go and hug an NES. They must be so lonely and hurt that we've moved onto other systems.

Anyway, this is great. Still Alive is one of my favorite songs.

[agiar2000]

@XavierAXB I totally feel you. In fact, I think about painting a pink heart on the top of my NES.

[shadowh511]

FLY!!!

[Renigaderz]

This makes me smile a big happy grin :D!

[Ledundeadv66]

@ the end:

Darn it, someone blow on the stupid cartridge!

[lynol6]

@Ledundeadv66 ahh blowing out cartridges... good times

[UndefinedZProduction]

@lynol6

for sure! :)

[henritje19]

in this song the NES PWNS new systems

[henritje19]

dont forget that the NES started it all

[SONYandMICROSOFT]

@henritje19 Actually the magnavox oddysey started it all....The NES just saved the gaming industries asses.

[videogameobsession]

@henritje19 Well, not quite, but I still love the NES. :)

More accurately.. "The NES brought it back."

[sonicdsfan1]

@henritje19 No. Atari did. Nintendo revived gaming. Atari went bankrupt on overspending on several things at the same time. Nintendo came out and kept it "alive"

[sonicdsfan1]

@henritje19 Well maybe not atari its hard to say who actually started it all

[Mangoe11]

@henritje19 No, The Atari did.

[sonicdsfan1]

@henritje19 no it didn't

[ImAWaffleSauce]

I just came.

[WackoMcGoose]

THIS VIDEO CONTAINS WIN

It's an excellent video, and the second one I've seen that remixed the original lyrics (the first was "Still Annoyed"). I think this video should be a Featured Video. Kinda sad that it only has 940 viewings so far...

[HunterX9001]

Woah, it seems I've found a fellow Nerr. (I'm Gold Prognosticus)

As for lyrics remixes, didn't Zelnor on Digi make one once?

[WackoMcGoose]

Only lyrics remix I can think of was a Digi version of Still Alive, but I'm not sure who made it. I think it was in either Your Creations or General Discussion, but the topic isn't there anymore.

...

*crag* it, YouTube won't work in Netscape anymore, and this page was opened from my email program :(

[kabo0m]

Loved it til the end .. the repetitivenesses was annoying. But the res was awesome! Love the song and the vid :)

[tepples]

"In the event that your NES does speak, the author advises you to wake up." So how do I wake up from playing Big Bird's Hide and Speak, or S.C.A.T., or Joshua, or Gauntlet 2, or Bart vs. the Space Mutants, or any other game with sampled speech?

[Strakester]

In the event that your NES does speak, and you cannot wake up, this commentator advises you to disregard its advice.

[PlaystationMasterPS3]

@Strakester and get mental help

[Stonehawk]

That was absolutely astounding. What a beautifully crafted tribute!

[rootbrian]

Couldn't care if the ending was repeated, the music, video and rom are the BEST.

I still got my NES and i'll NEVER give it up.

[untitled1productions]

Made me choke up. Great re-lyricing, and wonderful 8-bit still alive song. Ending's kind of annoying, though.

"Now these bytes of data make a beautiful ROM when the speed's not choppy and the graphics aren't wrong"

[StefVos]

Awesome vid, but the ending is realy annoying

[N00bishshinobi]

I love this video.Long Live the NES!!Lol

"Maybe a girlfriend.That was a joke.Ha ha.Pretend."

"I'm hot on eBay and I'm Still alive!"

XD

[uitodtrbrmhr]

portal=awesome
