"Because I have no friends..." Did you try calling Scott again, or did he say he only plays the reddish-orange version of Color TV-Game 15?

As a hockey player, I can confirm a wall does randomly pop out of the ground when the puck reaches center ice
Nintendo also made other arcade titles before and outside of Donkey Kong. Titles like HeliFire, Monkey Magic, Sheriff (who makes a cameo as an assist trophy in smash), Head on N, Block Fever and so much more, really wish Nintendo thought to make ports of those old titles back in the day, I know they weren't as successful as the DK games but it would have been neat to see some of them on the NES

Hey, it's that assist trophy from Smash!
One hella cool piece of history Also for that question at the end, maybe? The only way I know to find out is to check the credits.
Color TV Game 15’s reaction to being in Smash: “Finally, it’s been 41 years….”
If Color TV-Game 15 is so good, where's Color TV-Game 16 then huh???

I’m pretty sure Pong is public domain at this point, or if it isn’t it should be.

Gotta love how Nintendo got their start in video games by ripping off Pong, yet when people make harmless fan games of their franchises, they lose their marbles and take them down.

Actually Pong was licensed
Pretyy neat and insightful little video!
Before the Color Game TV series, Nintendo ACTUALLY marketed the Magnavox Odyssey in Japan. At 2:08, I also learned about this from Borderline OCD when he was fixing the Turbografx-16, you might notice the engraving in the plastic from the wire-it is because of the chemical makeup between plastics reacting, thus creating an indent in the plastic itself.
Or does Nintendo have to ask Magnavox to remake the Color TV-Game series as classic edition consoles and publish them on the Switch for Switch Online? 9:43
That Nintendo logo with the big N above it is one Ive never seen. It’s not listed on several logo sites. Where did you find it?
Or as the AVGN refers it as the wooden age. 0:44
The only good thing about this thing is allowing Pong to be represented in Smash without copyright infringement At least I think so maybe that's not the case
The 'scratches' is made by wires! The material of cable reacts with plastic shell.
