I agree with this, so much! 🎉

These kiosks were one of the coolest things Nintendo did over the years. If they'd brought the Power System over here to the west, it would have been massive. It would've been easy to sell parents on a cartridge that they could use over and over again and could hold several games.

It came out in 1997 for the snes. That was a year after the n64 came out. I don't think it would have been much of a deal over here, considering snes games could be bought for peanuts that the time.

@@erugurara8235 No idea. I just remember that fact from a Gaming Historian video about Nintendo vs Blockbuster. Nintendo was used to not renting games in Japan, so when American video stores like Blockbuster started doing it Nintendo sued them.

I love that all these years later I can still learn of Nintendo history that I didn't know about!

I always make it a point to pick up a couple of these official flash carts on the used market each time I visit Japan- never know what's on them. Depending on cosmetic quality, they could be had for $5-$10!

You keep the awesome content coming LD and we’ll keep liking, sharing and intrinsically loving it. Keep up the good work lass and stay safe x

@7:28 - Lady Decade, your presentation and script is excellent. One thing I would suggest... "SRAM" is not Flash Memory. SRAM does not store when the power is turned off. The technical phrase in the 1980's would be "Battery backed SRAM", and you see the silver (coin shape) battery in the photos you shared earlier in the video? "Battery backed RAM" was the way we did it with microcomputers in the 1980's. Again, great video, and you script + presentation is both education and entertaining. (I"m a long term technical editor and published author on computing, back in IBM OS/2 days. Also did custom hardware design in the early PC days.)

The fact you only have under 40k subs is shocking to me!!! Your channel is top tier.

Its crazy that essentially rom dumping and flash carts have been around sense the begging and they only recently caught on in the rest of the world.

I never knew about any of this. This is why your channel goes on from strength to strength .

Just when you think, she won't find anymore for the next video, you surprise us. AMAZING! Keep these coming and cannot wait for the next one!

Great job covering this! I miss Nintendo doing weird random stuff like this. Lawson stores would also end up carrying the refill cards for the Japanese version of XBAND. Seems like Lawson had a great relationship with Nintendo.

Is not weird at all, considering the cheapest super fanicom cartridge was 69.99 pounds. People in Japan have brains, sales not based on consumer stupidly , Nintendo illegal game monopoly. This system allowed the to buy games for 20-30 pounds. I didn't work for all games as many super fanicom had extra graphics cips in the cartrige

Great video and amazingly cool information.

Another beast of an upload. Your channel is insanely underrated

Just when I thought I’d seen everything by Nintendo. I’ve got to give it to ya! You sure pull out some truly interesting stuff my friend.

thanks, i saw some of these carts recently and had no idea what they were used for - i though maybe some test cart or maintenance for the console but this story is much better.

Thanks for another great video of a product I did not know existed.

You've been killing it lately!

Wow..I Don't know about that all these years..I only known about NES, Famicom, Famicom Disk System and even Super Game Boy..but this is the best video I've ever watched..longtime fan of your channel since 3 years ago and also Top Hat Gaming Man's channel as well..longtime fan of it as well

I used to start my day by reading the news... But that's a terrible idea for one's crippling anxiety. Much more pleasant to hear Lady Decade ease me into the consciousness by teaching about Japan's unique video game culture. Speaking of teaching, do LD and THGM both have a scholastic background? Those would be some lucky students!

Great video as always!!!

Great and informative! I havent seen a video dedicated to this! I saw someone explain it on a super surface level when reviewing the fire emblem game. But I frankly didnt really understand what it was.

Lady Decade! Your videos are always fantastic! Keep it up! Btw my daughters were all shouting in glee heading my name lol. But seriously, there are so many Patreons out there for numerous and countless things but I am more than thrilled to be able to provide a tiny part of contribution if it means we can get more epic videos/history lessons about games, consoles and everything in between. #LadyDecade #TheBest

Damn you need more subscribers! Great content.

How did I go my entire life and not know about this? Awesome history lesson LD.

another awesome video!

Another great video!

I was aware about the internet system that you can use for download games and dumping games on a floppy disks, but I had no idea about this. Great video and keep on the good work

Amazing video of the History's Nintendo Super Famicom!

Man you crank out so much great content so consistently! You should have 500,000 subscribers…

Thanks for covering up :)

Great review 😊

Great episode! I knew about the Famicom disk system rewritable disks, but had no idea there was something similar for SF and GB

very cool video. Nice work.

Did not know of this! Thanks!

LOVE this channel so many things i had no clue about and that nintendo power service would have been amazing in the U.S

The extra music channel was huge. Zelda, Castlevanias, the music is amazing. I wish they had implemented this in the US/EU.

Love these videos

That Shadow of the Ninja tune. Well done.

Studio light is getting better))) keep it up!

thank you for the videos you make

Wow, we're already in the mid-1990s?! Ohhh this is getting exciting Lady Decade!

Never seen such variant nice video 📹

Nice Shadow of the Ninja music in the beginning. That soundtrack slaps

this seems to be a super underrated channel. Give it time I guess.

Another great vid

You do so much research and work.i never knew about this.Great job.

Bravo Lady Bongos that was an amazing piece of gaming history 👏

Top video ! The lady does it again !

Great vid... thank you 👍

Another classic video! Love these cool things we never got 😀

Subbed This is very interesting. Thanks Thanks the video. I love anything nintendo. Plus you brought up my favorite video game series few, which is fire emblem. And that one is the next one I need to play after I finish 4/ holy wars. I'm on the final stage on the game.

.....guess this video showcases that I still have much to learn when it comes to the history of gaming as a whole.

Reminds me of how we used to rent Megadrive games from Blockbuster. Seems like a strange concept nowadays..

Ty for this hidden gem.

Nice touch using Lufia 2 boss music..

Another great video. I enjoy watching your content. I have a request though: Can you make a comprehensive video explaining what RPG games such as Shining Force, Final Fantasy, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana are truly about? I love classic 8 and 16 bit video games, but I cannot understand why these types of RPG games are so special and cherished by so many. These games undoubtedly have huge fan bases, but I don't see why that is. I can't even understand how these types of games are supposed to be played. I feel like I'm missing out on something incredible, but I don't even know where to begin to gain the required understanding on how to play these types of titles. When I start the game where am I supposed to go, what am I supposed to do, what does all the stuff on the screen actually mean, what's the object of the game, etc . . .

This is super fascinating!! Great work Lady!!! Nintendo (and all game devs) need to get better about preserving this history... instead of releasing incomplete games and constant updates...

New upload lets go

Interesting. I had no idea about this.

back in the 90's there was pc's that had a sega built into them in the UK, probably elsewhere. Would be good to see a video on them

I knew about the disc system and kiosks but had no clue about the SNES service. Very interesting.

Interesting stuff

I love Picross on the switch online service, didn't know there was more! Wish they would bang those onto the service as well.

you freaking rule, love from, Australia x

Had NO idea this was made!

There are some pretty cool exclusive Super Famicom games on it, video was good but mentioning a few more of them would have made it even better. Personal favorites: Famicom Bunko - Hajimari no Mori Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo Genjuu Ryodan Metal Slader Glory Director’s Cut Power Lode Runner Super Famicom Wars

In my mind I always hear "This is Lady Decay".

Lady Decade uploads. I watch and thumbs up. That is all...

Very cool

📣 The way she sings the end of her sentences reminds me of this radio lady " who used to talk that Waaay" ... hey, it's better than Vocal Fry!😂

Top Shelf Stuff. So much info I was unaware of. 🙄

Between this and the Satteleview, there are too many games that were lost!

Impressive!

gutted i nether owned a nes, used to ooogle the box in woolworths whilst i was stuck with my brothers hand me down spectrum, witch took an hour to load anything, would love to own 1 now, still great to emulate

My favorite console to import for. So many awesome games that never came out in The West.

Love you video's

Some of my fondest memories as a youth in Tokyo involved famicom kiosks, and purchasing tentacle porn / secondhand knickers from the machine next door. Good times.
