Rare Vintage Japanese Consoles Including Nintendo's Color Game 15

[XxRipStitchxX]

i love on 0:30 .. this is a rare vintage item so lets throw it around a bit lol

[LordSamael666]

@Gamester81 - Bandai also made the fantastic Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, and Swancrystal systems.

[beaver10777]

sweet! i just got the color game 15 system today. i just need the tv adaptor to play it. i dont have the power cord but when i tested it at my friends house,we ran it by batteries....

[FloppyEmperor]

Am I colorblind?? My shoelaces were that color and that looks deep red to me. All my friends said my shoelaces were orange when they looked red.. what the hell.

[xaer0knight]

didnt Bandia also make the Wonderswan?

[rkoguy]

@xaer0knight yep

[desconocidos27]

ol boy loves games

[thehogan61]

my unclle from japan worked in a shop that sold these and i have 2 at home and only one works its in my attic somewhere though

[SegaFan2583]

@Twitchman24 the jaguar and the 32x used carts... (sorry lunch box wrong username)

[8AngelBlood8]

Toshiba?

Thats the company that made my computer.

Wow didnt knew there were making game consoles.

[russell56443]

Those were all Freakin Cool!

I would love to play them all but the 15 looked extra good!

Im a older guy and my first system was the Sears Pong/Breakout from I think 76 or so,wish I still had it(I was the cool guy in the neighborhood that Christmas)LOL!

[gameboy3800]

i thought the atari 2800 (japanese 2600) was 1 of the first 4 port systems (yes, it does have 4 ports).

[AWriterWandering]

@gameboy3800

Bally Astrocade, Atari 800, and Atari 5200 all had four controller ports and came out prior to the Atari 2800.

[gameboy3800]

@AWriterWandering wut about atari super pong?

[ecwboy12345]

@Twitchman24 no the atari jaguar was

[5k4k1dhtp]

@ecwboy12345 Technically the SNES could do 3D as well with Starfox & such, and that came out before the jaguar.

[seeindarkness]

Why do rarely show any games on these devices, I think it's the most interesting part.

[SamuraiClinton]

I know some Katakana.

So you say that didn't even say Nintendo, except the adapter. I didn't see Nintendo spelt in katakana either.

[jhonnydrama]

that was really great how you said take care at the end you take care yourself my friend :)

[Twitchman24]

By the way was the Nintendo 64 the first 3D game console?

[Gamester81]

May the first 3D game console that used carts, but there were other systems before including the 3DO that could do 3D.

[MarcoZ1ITA1]

@Gamester81 32X?

[Thetruehypersonic]

@Gamester81 32x dont forget that

[SuperDave341]

@Gamester81 The Virtual Boy was the first Nintendo 3D System, but im not sure if it was the first ever

[madmax2069]

@SuperDave341 the NES was capable of fake 3D, the SNES was capable of 3D. N64 was a 3D system but also had a few non 3D games.

Rad racer had a 3D mode if you will if you had the glasses to see it properly.

now if your talking about GFX ability like Bilinear filtering, Anti-aliasing, Z-buffering, Mip-mapping, Trilinear mip-map interpolation, Perspective-correct texture mapping and things like that then yes the N64 was the first for Nintendo.

[beanwithbacon]

@Gamester81 If you want to get technical you could say the 32x was the first 3d console to use cartridges. A lot of it's best games were rendering full 3d polygons.

[dannyofthededd]

vectrex sort of used wire frame 3D..there were 3D spectrum and commodore64 games too..the snes put an extra chip into some cartridges and the mega c.d and 32x had 3D polygons too..Do ya mean free roaming 3D??ruined it for me when everything went 3D with the n64 and psx..for a long time it seemed like 2D games were dead until the fairly recent retro revival...

[hongdekong]

@Twitchman24 whats 3d? on atari 2600 theres a kind of 3d game, depens on what you call 3d

[stoltobot]

@Twitchman24 Suer Nintendo was doing 3D. Vectrex was doing 3D in the 80s

[fuzzywzhe]

@Twitchman24 Vectrex I think is generally considered the first 3D game console.

[killyrm34300]

@Twitchman24 the snes had some 3dish games like star fox

[Nardz024]

Amazing, awesome piece of information, thanks

[thelunchbox23]

heres a question, what, to ur knowledge, was the first 4player system?

[Gamester81]

@thelunchbox23

If it isn't a Pong clone, than my second guess would be the Bally Astrocade.

[TheBillbot]

I Belive the Atari 5200

[rejectofsoul24]

@thelunchbox23 I think id have to agree with gamester81, probably that toshiba as well

[rockabillycat1954]

@thelunchbox23 i would guess pong sports iv

[taeasgj]

wow irate gamer or the angry video game nerd should review the bad games on these old systems you have lol it would be funny IG or AVGN

[cyb3rphr33k]

omg! you got very nice stuff! i just started collecting pongs. so far i have binatone, rft, gamatic, magnavox 300, soundic and gotchi (dunno what that is...). very nice items you have there once more

[clubpenguin777]

Wow, I thought Nintendo's first system (not counting the Game And Watch) was the NES. Thanks for another great video!

[khoraski]

@clubpenguin777 the Famicom... how do you miss that?

[CharlesStudios]

where do you have to plug in the japanese rf switch ito american TVs for them to work and to be playable, do the ac adapters plug into american electric outlets, I need to know

[Gamester81]

You actually need to buy an RF adapter (can find on ebay really cheap or probably Radioshack). Screw it in the back of the TV where the cable goes into and then plug the cord into that. The Japanese AC adapters will work in North America without any adapters.

[joe9320]

@Gamester81 It won't work on mine- only because we use PAL.

[CharlesStudios]

I want one, but my dad says I cant because he saw one on ebay and the RF switch is japanese, not american, and he said you had to cut cords, and rewire, and he said just walk away from it, I want one badly though.

[Gamester81]

Actually the Japanese RF will work on the North American TV's. You just have to use a different channel. No cutting cords or anything like that.

[AnimeFanPan]

wow I missed out on these things

since I was born in 1989

[pinballcentral]

my famicom needs to be on channel 86

[KGKaiju]

Thanks for sharing those pongs with us. As a vintage video game console collector, I also am interested in pongs and actually placed a bid on a Nintendo pong Game 6 (but didn't win it unfortunately). It is good to see someone that has managed to get a hold of one. I really like the idea of doing reviews of older units and was thinking of doing this myself. Now I am going to seem like a copy cat I suppose. :p BTW, you have a new subscriber. :)

[goldengrat10]

Would the Color TV Game systems work on PAL TVs?

[Gamester81]

I believe you'll need a NTSC converter in order for it to play on PAL.

[Numba1H8ter]

Blocks and balls eh? Sounds kinky!

[Gamester81]

The Bandai and Nintendo ones work great. The Toshiba one comes in a little bit fuzzy. Thanks for watching.

[Thayto]

I like the case thing for the paddle, this is very cool! :D

[sinistermoon]

PONG FTW!

[vintagevideogamegeek]

Looking forward to the gameplay for the TV 15.

[graftwins3]

great vid man i like that the nintendo color game has a little storage thing for the controllers kind of like celcovision or intelevision

[famicomdork]

Nice to see the Color TV Games again. Those are great. When you play those, do you use any kind of step down converter, or do you just plug them into the wall and play?

[famicomdork]

Sorry, I just remembered these run on batteries, too. Also, Nintendo's first attempt at the video game market was actually from their Color TV-Game Block Kuzushi console. Which is like a Breakout/Arkanoid clone.

[Gamester81]

All Japenese systems will work on US TV's without any converters which is cool.

[JesusOfSuburbia94]

Thank u for reviewing the nintendo color tv game 15 i have been waiting a while for this review.

[Gamester81]

Thanks for your patience man. I appreciate it. So many videos I want and need to do, and so little time. =)

[PhatPhunk]

Awesome.. these consoles are the Jp Grand Daddies of video game consoles! That Game 15 looks sexy.. Will you please do some gameplay vid of it? Many thanks!

[Gamester81]

Yah I'll be sure to show some gameplay. I'm still having issues trying to capture my video game footage w/o just filming the TV screen. Once I figure it out, I'll start showing more gameplay videos. Thanks

[SteveBenway]

Cool video. It's good to see the really old stuff.

Do you find those machines suffer much from video signal drift? I have two Binatone pong machines, a MK 6 and a MK 10, and none of my TVs can hold onto the signal, as it drifts all over the place after the consoles have been on for a few minutes.

Oh yeah, Toshiba did make another foray into the gaming market, though not with a console. They produced the HX-10 MSX computer, which was a bare bones machine, really just for games.

[Gamester81]

Good to know about the Toshiba. I own a Casio MSX computer. I know a lot of Japanese companies made those.

[lukemorse1]

Never knew that abut the TV Game 6 or 15. Really amazing stuff. if you have any Japanese questions I'll try to give you a hand lol. but I think that it's already bee answered about the reset button lol. Great vid man.

[tvandlust]

The text under the red button does indeed read "reset button." Great video man.

[MGSF4N4TIC14]

your console collection is just becoming even more awsome
