/vr/ - Retro Games

No I wasn't Canadian, all I got was Nick Arcade

But I have watched it recently on youtube.

I watched this show for Nicholas Picholas (Is that even his real name?) and his crazy fast way of speaking.
Also, the Crash Man intro. Good stuff.

Always, OP. I wanted to be on it so badly, especially because it looked like most of the kids really sucked anyway.

>It will never be LETTER TIME again.
Hold me, bros.

Yes, I remember it. Even as a child I laughed at how terrible the kids were at video games on the show. They were pretty much the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

>I'm stuck in Majora's Mask
>Watching Video & Arcade Top 10
>Time for today's V&A tip of the week in Majora's Mask
>Holy shit it's a miracle
>You can push the L button to bring up the map onscreen

Did they ever actually have any helpful tips?

>>885798
No, not ever, I have a suspicion that no one on the show even played video games. Not the audience, not the hosts, not nobody.

>>885239
I swear I vaugly remember this show airing on some syndicated station in my area... but then again I live in NH, which boarders canadaland

I remember it.

I liked Gamerz a lot better. Mostly because it had PJ Phil.

He looks really scary now

>>885798
don't remember if it was on the tips, but they used to have King chain grapples for Tekken

How about Johnny Arcade on Video Power? Remember that?

>>885841
or how about these radical dudes on GamePro TV and their forced 90's surfer slang especially from the guy on the left. At least they had the S.W.A.T. segment which was handy for codes and shit.

>>885774
IT'S LETTER TIME! IT'S LETTER TIME!

Why were all the kids so shit at these games anyway?

Is it?........................

I was on the show. I came in second (guy who won owned the game .... sour grapes to this day) ... got myself a pretty sweet Timex Indiglo watch. My neighbor was on the episode after me. Last place. LA Gear T Shirt.

>>885910
no, it's Nicholas Schimmelpenninck
now you see why he changed it, even Nicholas Picholas is better than that... despite the fact that it sounds like something he picked at the last second when he couldn't think of anything else.

>>885910
Sup george zimmerman

>>885915
What was the game, mang?

>>885910
It's his radio name.
He's actually a radio DJ in Buffalo.

>>885968
Kirby's Adventure NES

>>885798
>decide to watch some old episodes a year ago with a friend
>description says it's got a hint for Legend of Zelda, link to the past, it just so happens we were playing that game
>Here's a tip, cut down bushes to get rupees and sometimes a heart
>WOW ITS FUCKING NOTHING

>>885774
Our first letter here is from james, he says, Dear video and arcade, I really love your show, I have a Super Nintendo and a Playstation.

"Well james thanks for writing in, we will be sending you a copy of one of the games we played today, either Tetris for gameboy, or Donkey Kong 64. Have Fun!

>>885915

HOLY SHIT what episode!?!?!? Was it only for kids who lived in Ontario? Do you still have the game and the watch?

>all those shitty prizes

>>886015
Shittiest prizes. Tho the watch did last me until high school...
I also remember coming home with a Star Trek Ferengi action figure for being part of the studio audience (it was a whole day event ... think they filmed like 10 episodes in a day).

>>885915
Beats being on Uh-Oh and coming home with packs of Hubba Bubba.

>>886034
>kid picks the red ball and has to choose something from the wall in like 5 seconds
>ummm i want ummmm number 5

You chose, the power rangers puzzle. ENJOY

>>885813
I'm from NH too and I remember Nick Arcade. Is that not a show everyone got in America?

>>885971
is he still?
most DJs from that era quit a long time ago

>>886079
no no, I was talking about that Video & Arcade Top 10 show, not Nick Arcade, everyone got Nick Arcade

>>886034
How in the fuck do they expect the kids to still scream their heads off like they did by the time the 10th episode rolls around? That's insane.

Who remembers Tarzan Dan?

>>885838

at my brothers birthday at some amusement park tons of years ago we met pj phil

we got his autograph but i dont know if any of us even still have it

>>886254
oh wow i linked the wrong post

way to go me

>>885217

Yes. And it made sense in the NES/SNES era.

But then N64 and Gamecube came along and their choice of games made no sense.

>>885347
>Also, the Crash Man intro. Good stuff.

I strongly doubt they got the rights to that.

>>886458
It's not like they even needed to, they changed the song. Plus it was a 30 min commercial for Nintendo anyway. Really?

>>886460
>It's not like they even needed to, they changed the song.

>Plus it was a 30 min commercial for Nintendo anyway. Really?

But not Capcom. I'm pretty sure modern capcom wouldn't let them get away with that. They'd ask for a little dosh.

Not enough.

>>886474
Well obviously you are wrong if it never happened.

>>885217
I never watched this show, but I gotta say that's a fucking awesome logo. Full of late 80's / early 90's awesometude.

>Anyone remember this show

Fuck I forgot that even existed. That theme song was horrible and now I have it stuck in my head. Thanks Obama...

>IT'S LETTER TIME! IT'S LETTER TIME!
You beat me to it.

Wow I never realised how terrible this show was, they give you nothing for tips and all the prizes are shit. I think I only watched it because it was the only thing on Saturdays at 2pm when I had nothing to do. All the kids look creepy/fat as fuck
