 Hey, thanks for tuning in for another edition of Drunk with Nintendo Power. Last time we looked at Volume 25 featuring Battletoads on the cover, so today let's take a look at the very next issue, Volume 26 featuring Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for NES on the cover. Again, I sincerely apologize for the amateur quality of this video, I'm not exactly an expert on filming stuff, but enough of you liked the last video well enough, so I thought I'd try another one. So let's start by looking at the stuff featured in every Nintendo Power issue, starting with the mailbag. Here we see the infamous Game Boy that was burned up in a fire during Operation Desert Storm. It's owner actually mailed it back to Nintendo asking for a replacement, and believe it or not the thing actually still turned on when hooked up with a battery pack, and the start and select button still worked, that's pretty damn amazing. Next there's the Nestor's Adventures comic, which features Nestor attending a summer camp telling scary stories around a cab fire. Sure, okay. This month's classified information has a stage select code for Little Nemo the Dream Master, as well as the Lone Ranger, and there's an amusing section on Dragon Warrior 2, there's no codes here, it simply tells you what to do at the end of the game since evidently the game itself did a poor job of telling the player that. There's a ton of passwords and an unlockable sound test for Low G Man, I remember being interested in this game only because it was in classified information like three or four times, and there's a tip to summon your tag team partner to interfere in the middle of a match in WWF Wrestling Challenge. This month's poster is a great shot of Samus advertising the forthcoming Metroid 2 for Game Boy. The other side of the poster I'll get to a bit later. The now playing section features High Speed, a video pinball game for NES, Legends of the Diamond, a decent baseball game featuring old time Hall of Fame players, a shoot-em-up called Over Horizon and Videomation, kind of a precursor to Mario Paint but for NES. So really nothing all that interesting. For this month's contest you win a Super Nintendo, well damn I'll take that. You also win a trip to beautiful Redmond, Washington to tour Nintendo of America's headquarters. Second place is a Game Boy, third place is You're Fired, sorry I couldn't resist the Glen Gary Glen Ross joke there. The Counselor's Corner features a lot of questions about deja vu including what you need to clear your name from being a murder suspect, as well as how to rig the money making game in Legend of Zelda where you use the second controller to save in the middle of the game. There's also solutions to tricky puzzles in the game Puznick and some handy answers to questions like what the hell do I do and where the hell do I go for the game Faria. Here's a shot of this month's Counselor's including this dude who says he beat Legend of Zelda without a sword. I remember reading that as a kid and thinking that guy had to be joking but yeah as you probably know that's a legitimate thing that can be done. Hearing about it back then though seemed crazy. Super Mario Bros. 3 reclaims the top spot in the top 30 taking it back from Turtles 2 the arcade game. Like I said last time it's cool to see which games show up on the fringes of this list like Battle of Olympus. The celebrity profile is Marshall Warfield also known as Raz from Nightcourt where she complains about how hard Mario 3 is especially World 8. The NES achieved section has all the high scores mailed in for the month including one dude who finished Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Heroes of the Lands and one dude who finished Bandit Kings of Ancient China. PacWatch takes a look at future NES games which this month has defenders of Dynatron City, Star Trek, Ninja Gaiden 3, Treasure Master, Wolverine among others. Okay let's get to the main features the big one being for Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for NES which gets 16 pages of maps and all sorts of hints. They scored this game 4.3 out of 5 which is pretty good and pretty odd since you never ever hear about this game today but I guess they liked it at the time. The big selling point they harp on here is that the story follows the movie scene for scene. Well whoop-de-doo. There's also an 8 page feature on Rockin Cat a game based on the Saturday morning cartoon. It's cool to see them put in so much detail even in games like this that might not get a lot of attention otherwise. There's 4 pages on Capcom's The Little Mermaid a game I looked at a long time ago which is a short but well made game. There's Bill Inted's excellent video game adventure a game that was later honored by an angry video game nerd episode. Nintendo Power gives the controls here 2.2 out of 5 which is as low as I've ever seen them give a game. The monthly Game Boy feature has Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Info Genius Productivity Pack, Sneaky Snakes, Navy Seals, Dick Tracy, Altered Space which is a really interesting looking 3D puzzle game featuring 8 long levels where you go from room to room avoiding enemies and discovering new areas. Blades of Steel is here as well and there's also codes for games like Mercenary Force, Lock and Chase, and Berai Fighter Deluxe. Last but not least we have yet another preview of the Super Nintendo which was mere months away from release in North America. Right away they make it a point to say that the Super Nintendo won't just be in NES with better graphics since it features effects like Mode 7 shown here with F-Zero and its claims that foreground objects are redrawn as many as 60 times per second? What? It shows off the effect of Mario flipping behind a fence. I always thought that was really cool at the time. It talks about scaling and again showing off pilot wings and it talks about the huge sprite certain games will have as big as 128 by 128 pixels like the first level boss of Gradius 3 here. They talk about color layering and a game called Demolition is discussed not to be confused with Demolition Man of course. But does anyone know what game this ended up being by any chance? Because there isn't a game called Demolition on Super Nintendo. Anyway there's talk of multiple scrolling backgrounds while showing off Super Ghouls and Ghosts and again the sound is highlighted saying when the soundtrack is combined with the clarity and colors of the graphics the effect is so stunning that it's like you're controlling an interactive movie. Well I don't know about that but okay. After that we get a huge layout of screenshots for 29 different games that will eventually be released for Super Nintendo in North America. There's Mario World, F-Zero, Link to the Past, titled Zelda 3 here, Pilot Wings, Super Play Action Football, Gradius 3, Super Bases Loaded, Super R-Type, Augusta Golf which was later renamed YLA Country Club, Darius Twin listed as Darius here, Final Fight, Drakken without the H in the title, Sim City, Act Razor, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Jumbo Ozaki's Hole in One, later renamed Hal's Hole in One Golf, Super Castlevania IV just called Castlevania IV here, Populous, UN Squadron, Baseball Simulator 1000 which is listed under its Japanese title here of Super Ultra Baseball, Battle Dodgeball which never left Japan, a game called Gadolin, an RPG titled GD Lean in Japan that never ended up being translated and then there's games like the first SD Great Battle Game and Big Run both of which never left Japan and there's Ultraman, DeForce, Bombuzal which was released in North America as Kablui and finally Final Fantasy II which is of course Final Fantasy IV. All right, that's enough for now. Thanks for watching and have a good rest of your day.
