G4TechTV - Icons: SNK (Part 1)

[StoneEmperor1]

Ah... SNK. They made such excellent arcade titles.

[UltraTurboJack]

SNK/Capcom forever....

[psychotici11usions]

With reality shows being the thing now days I think they should have a channel were geeks and gamers talk about cames and comics. I know you can say G4 but thats went to crap

[chaozflow]

00:25

Does that mean that you have to have steel balls to play it?

[EpiDemic117]

yes G4 used to be awesome. Until it turned to shit like MTV. They should of never gotten rid of icons.

[hootyhaha]

This is weird. I have some documentaries with the exact same style , about games, same narrator, same graphic intro.. but instead of "Icons" it says, "Game Makers." What was the difference? Did they just decide to change the name later or something?

[gsnfan1416]

This show needs to be redone. They need to at least show reruns. I would love to see more episodes of this.

[TheWavy87]

I wish they had this series on DVD. I would buy it.

[TheEscapedBalloon]

The Neo Geo was great if you loved arcade games a lot, but other then that?

[Kingofprinces85]

Neo-Geo was 599 USD?  and i thought Sony came up with that!

[G4TVsucks]

hey please help support our channle its the g4 tv sucks channle

[TheManofthefuture101]

You need balls to play SNK? 

[topdinero]

@TheManofthefuture101 balls of steels..

[TheSamuraiSquirrel]

Old G4 videos and Beer = Happiness. Plain and simple. And mainly because back in the say i was not old enough to enjoy this with Liqueur. Bam!!.

[evilmonkeyman289]

Bring back Icons (please)

[SirHidealot]

goddamn thats expensive 200 for cartridges holy shit and its '91!!!??

thanx 4 upload loving the old shows

[PearlJammer07]

How do i favorite videos here on YT? This is a great gaming company. A shame it went under.

[texformer]

Between ICONS and GAME MAKERS I never understood why there were two different titles when they were the same program, just with different subject matter covered.

[1983parrothead]

Ozma Wars wasn't SNK's first game. Like most video game companies, which started with a clone of a successful game, SNK started with their clone of Atari's Breakout, Micon Block in 1978, while they created Micon Kit 1, Micon Kit 2, and Micon Kit 3, all three during the same year.

[kingmula2]

snk owns capcom anyday

[SonicOrbit01]

i miss the old icons. before they turned it into that pop culture crap.

[andrew111806]

@SonicOrbit01 agreed

[MichaelVentura9]

KING OF FIGHTERS 4 EVER.

[first10123]

the uk snes looked totally different to the us/japanese version anyone know why?

[RetroGamerr1991]

No the UK and JP SNES looked nearly identical whereas the US SNES had to meet the stronger FCC regulations so it's case was shaped differently to support a bigger shield. Also it was mainly marketed to children in the US so it was made to look more like a toy.

[first10123]

@RetroGamerr1991 oh ok bruv thanks for letting me know i love lookin at all these old consoles brings me back to my youth lol

[PearlJammer07]

@RetroGamerr1991 I have to say the European and JP SNES look cooler, and more colorful button lay out.

[Kitsushika]

man what i wouldnt give for one of those neo geo consoles. oh well guess ill have to go with a mame cabinet

[th4ton3guy]

$599 us dollars

[michiyoyoshiku]

SNK the Dreamcast and ECW died within weeks of each other

[DamienDraiman]

Baseball stars was the shit back in the day. My favorite sports title on the NES along with Tecmo Super Bowl.

[RoyalKnightVI]

Ah the old days of G4 before it got so crappy...

[RickyZ101]

Good times, Good times.

[RoyalKnightVI]

Yeah sadly....

[LinuxRocks101]

Yeah, and it's a damn shame Comcast butchered TechTV in the process. -_-

[RoyalKnightVI]

Sad, but unfortunately their new demographics are idiots and probably don't care about what the channel was, hell they have a show CALLED HUMAN WRECKING BALLl!!!

Well personally all I have now is Gametrailers, they have a few countdowns and Retrospectives!

[texformer]

@RoyalKnightVI Sign on to the G4 website. Make your opinion known. But be sure to state in your opinion that you don't watch the channel anymore, you only logged on to state your opinion in the viewer feedback forum.

[Neofcon]

@texformer Uh....why the fuck would you sign on to a channel's website just to say you don't watch it anymore? G4 didn't care about opinions then and they still don't today.

[hootyhaha]

@RoyalKnightVI Somebody contact COMCAST and tell them to pull their heads out of their rumpus, and get more tech and game shows back on G4TV!

[brpadington]

I want to watch the Nickelback Icon episode. Its where Nickelback is honored with the award for most bland formulaic music that never even tries to challenge the audience but to enrage them.

[1983parrothead]

Well, too bad this episode didn't mention Touchdown Fever (best NES football game not made by Tecmo) nor P.O.W.: Prisoners of War (one of the best arcade beat 'em ups in the '80s.

[Atrumlux]

Well, parrot. apparently you missed the point of the video. It's about SNK, not techmo. Why would they talk about techmo's games in a documentary about SNK.

[1983parrothead]

I didn't mean to talk about Tecmo. I just said that Touchdown Fever, which was made by SNK is considered by several people to be the best NES football game not made by Tecmo. The point is, Touchdown Fever is the best NES football game besides Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl.

[Atrumlux]

hehe looks like i read it too fast

[pardue219]

I love this one it was on a couple days ago

[DavidTicas]

Their one video game series that I have to SNK for.....METAL SLUG!!

[deathmoon005]

where can I download these episodes?

[skatercurlykid]

[sadistoflovers]

anyone know where i can find the everquest episode of icons?

[Atomduck]

This was a great show... to bad shows like X-play are freaking SNK racist.

[jdb2002]

And you thought the PS3 was expensive?

[DFURY09]

Seriously wtf were they thinking?

[FatalNFelony07]

that is true. 200 dollars for 1 fucking game??!!

they crazy.

also i miss the old g4. i remember when all the shows expect x play and attack of the show got canncelled

[gomezgomas]

@DFURY09 The-first-console-that-finally­-matched-SNK-quality-was-the-d­reamcast,so-that´s-almost-15-y­ears-of-state-of-the-art-exclu­sives,not-to-mention-that-thei­r-cartridges-were-the-size-of-­coffee-table-and-you-had-a-per­fect-arcade-port-in-your-house­,in-other-words,I-think-the-pr­ice-was-right,-even-though-I-c­ouldn´t-afford-one...still-can­´t

[metriodpower]

@gomezgomas wrong!dreamcast sucked ass it was just a gay tomgatchi with control sfamicom was first online console further more ps2 killed dreamcast which only had furfag sonic which fails.if dreamcast,sega,is good why did they fail?oh cuase they suck its fact nuff said cry all u want they still going bankrupt soon haha cry little man cry your still losing

[gomezgomas]

@metriodpower hahahaha, trolls, trolls, trolls, trolls, whoa, you are a major league asshole, well, If you are a kid, I could understand, but If you are an adult, mmm, I suggest killing yourself...anyway, the reason why the dreamcast failed is simple, It was just TOO hardcore, just like the NEOGEO. And Sega goin brankupt!?, WTF, you live under a rock?

[metriodpower]

@gomezgomas *face, motherfucking, palm* go to real sources like gamecritics search sonic games which for a mascot that carries the system he failed! am not trying to be an asshole but search your feelings you know that i say the truth shit use the force if you have to.it failed nuff said(wait,what!) cry little fanboy cry it won't change that facts hahahahahahaha

[gomezgomas]

@metriodpower haahaha, How old are you?

Anyway, If I want a good review I just go to racketboy, hardcoregaming or retrogaming. And why you insist with Sonic!? jajajaja, the Dreamcast have A SHITLOTAD OF OTHER GAMES, you know? I can give you a nice little list of great exclusives that you will NEVER see on another console.

Cheers

[metriodpower]

@gomezgomas Please. Do give me as MANY exclusives in the list as u can.

[gomezgomas]

@metriodpower Sorry, I would have to make several replies to name all of ´em. But there´s always Internet, right?

[Atomduck]

Neo-Geo is better than the PS3 in my opinion
