This is the first time we've featured a blog for a g1 Submission but we plan on doing this a lot more. For his blog getting featured g1 McFrosticles scores a sweet 125 g1 Points- very nice!
The Gaming Historian takes you back to 1993 with the NES 2 (also known as the Top Loader). What was this system and what happened to it? The Historian has the answer.
Please rate and enjoy! =)
Update: Wow, I wake up and log on, and I see my post on the front page! thanks so much for all of the comments, emails, subscribers, etc. I'm just glad my work is finally getting out to more people.
If you like this episode, please check out my other video in my blog about the History of Donkey Kong. I've also got a new episode that will be up later this week. Thanks!
I love my original NES and I wound never cast it aside, but I use this system a lot more often for it’s obvious convenience. Plus, there’s something about top loaders I really like. It might sound dumb but I think it’s the fact that you can see the cartridge art while you play.
Honestly, I think this would make a great screwattack show. Nothing like schooling the younger folks about the old ways, and showing some of us older folk who never had it, about it! ;D God knows I never heard of the top loader til i saw the Nerd use it lol

I'm glad everyone likes the show. I have a second episode about Donkey Kong which you can also find in my blog, and episode three will be out this week.
I'm not sure how this became a Top g1 post, but I think it might have something to do with Fox. All I can say is, Thank You =).

I enjoyed this video. You seem to really know what you're doing. A bit more professional than lots of submissions. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
I love this console, for it's just a straight plug and play versus the purchase of a new 12pin connector. Or spring for the original nes. good post!!!!!

Awesome video. My granduncle had one and I was always amazed by it when I was a kid. I wonder if he still has it and wouldn't mind passing it along to me :D

I like SA because they really let their G1 get spotlight.You kinda look like the AVGN by the way...
That said, it was a good review of that console, is a shame it didn't got the attention it deserved, but i think it had to be released when the NES was the shit and Nintendo ruled the world...it had to compete with the SNES and the Genesis instead.

I remember when that came out. I thought it was worth buying until I saw the lack of A/V outputs. Once you've graduated from RF, you never go back. To this day, I've never been able to stomach RF, so that was an immediate turn-off.
My solution to the NES blinky problem was to simply by a new pin connector that didn't have to be pressed down. To this day, my classic NES works without having to press the games down.
I also clipped the 10NES chip. See, even if the games were running fine, it was really easy for that stupid lock-out chip to fall out-of-sync with the key chip that was in the cartridge. GAHD, I hated that!
I wish there was a remedy for the size. It is kind of an unnecessarily large system. Even the original Famicom is a dwarf compared to it. And have you ever opened one of the old NES games? Holy crap, those things have nothing in them! The actual game circuit board barely takes up half of the inside of the shell.
A lot of old consoles had that problem. It wasn't that they needed to be that large. The console makers apparently thought it was aesthetically pleasing to waste a lot of shelf space. Atari 2600 and the model 1 Sega Genesis are also notorious for being practically empty on the inside. I don't know why this was the case, although I suspect that since VHS recorders and cable boxes of the day were rather large, the console designers thought that anything connected to the TV also had to be ridiculously huge.
Granted, the consoles out today are huge, but at least you can turn the X-Box 360 on its side! Back then, everything had to be flat on the shelf.
I did enjoy the tunnels on the bottom of the NES, though. There were times that I'd been able to take advantage of the classic NES design by letting wires run from one component to another by simply allowing them to travel under the Nintendo. In fact, that was usually my solution to neatly control the A/V wires coming out the side.
Having smaller versions of a console is nice. I appreciate the shrunken redesigns for Sony PS2, SNES, and Sega Genesis. In fact, the Genesis 3 is wicked small. But NES 2 is a mixed bag. If it wasn't for the video problems, I would have gotten one.
I do like the dogbone controllers, though.

I still love playing Mega Man 3, Turtles 2, Dragon Spirit and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out to this day. However, it takes awhile to get my NES to work properly. After watching your video, I will probably try to track down an NES II. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.

WOW i've got to go, to America! CHEAP THINGS OUT THERE! SCREAMING FOR MY HELP! IM COMMING POOR CONSOLES, DONT WORRY I HAV PLEDGE OF FREE TIME FOR ANY OF YOU........ exept the Virtual boy.
I distinctly remember holding one of these at a Toys R Us back in the early summer of 1994. I had $60 in my pocket, and I was deciding on whether to pick a NES 2 up or Super Mario World 2. I ended up not picking up either, but the event stays in my mind because I never got that close to a NES 2 again. To think I had it in my hands and didn't get it is easily my worst "Should have bought it" moment in my gaming history (the second being the Wii I had in my hands and didn't buy back in December 06).
The worst part was it was around December later that year that someone told me about how I should get a NES 2 if I could since it would probably be a collector's item. I ended up going back to Toys R Us but guess what...yep...they no longer carried them. Neither did anyone else. I even still have dreams sometimes where I go in a Toys R Us and there's one on the shelf and I try to buy it and it won't ring up.
Awesome Work! It was an interesting video start to finish.
Only the most minor of complaints...
Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the music at the beginning was a bit quiet, so I turned my volume up. When your voice came in, I nearly shit myself (okay not that bad, but MAN it was loud!)
Keep up the great work, off your other stuff, I look forward to future content!

I actually enjoyed that video very much. There really was no flaws with it at all. It was simple, yet perfect. Keep it up, and I can't wait to watch more editions.
Famous Last Words: "Rat poison only kills rats..."
That was a great video, I learned a lot.
I knew about the NES 2 because of references made by the Nerd from time to time but I never knew the story behind it or that it was released so late into the console's life cycle.

Submitted by Chibi-Acer on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 7:43pm.
I bought one of these when it came out. I still have it, along with my entire NES library. Except that the Game Genie doesn't really fit in the slot (didn't know there was an adapter), I'd much rather use the NES 2 to play old school games.
Anyway, the video was really well done. It's a nice tribute to a console that didn't quite get it's day in the sun.
i love my original NES. ive seen this NES2 thing everywhere but always just called it the "revamped one" since thats the only thing anyone here ever called it. but id never switch to that thing instead of my NES. and the pin thing he mentioned does suck to deal with but if ya slide the game back and forth it eventually gets the pins right and you can play as long as ya dont even slightly touch the NES in anyway that might move it .0000001 of an inch, because then it freezes or goes to that blue flashing screen of death. lol
Submitted by destructorv2 on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 9:59pm.
Its pretty good,
the video doesn't disappoint. i like it, its informative over what happened to this console.
Yeah i too saw this the first time on the AVGN's video, i was wondering if its fake too (which isn't but can't blame me as i live in a country that makes fake consoles).
so, all is good, just one problem in the video though
when you zoom in like the almighty view-ish look, the view somehow is blurry. i dunno why, but, nevermind, no harm in this vid, its still good!
the NES 2 sucks though it only has RF adapter out put, and it was made for famicom carts not the huge USA NES carts. the famicom 2(AV Family Computer ) is the same unit exactly only the connector and lockout chip is changed.
the only reason it sell for so much is it's rare.
with out the RCA connectors on the NES the picture is BAD it's way bad do not even try on a HDTV even if it's a CRT HDTV. It looks bad on my CRT HDTV I use for my NES with the RF adaptor.
You will go blind it's like playing the game with a borken TV there is so much noise in the video it's not funny and you cant see any detail.
and I know no way to convert the RF of the NES 2 to s-video in a good way like the nes 1 RCA output.
the controlers are not as good either.
and the huge flaw any bump of that cart sticking out about 4456 feet from the NES 2 will lock up the game.
In some case it damages a NES cart that is how I came to own the NES 2 to my friend gave it to me in 1994 after It somewhat ruined his mega man 3 cart after bumping it.
the there is one improvement.
the 10NES authentication chip is gone that was teh real problem of your games not starting blowing in them does nothing, you just tought it does.
If you replace the 72 pin connector on the NEs 1 and cut the lockout chip pins then the NES 1 has this too and performs just as well starting games.
No more flashies and screen restarts at boot up of the nes.
I did this with all my NES 1's
the SNES 2 is just as bad No s-video output like a normal SNES.
So i never use it either the SNES 2 or NES 2 but i keep em.

That was thoroughly entertaining and ever since I saw the nerd use one I had Many questions about the infamous "Top Loader" that you answered in abundance.

Pretty good video!
I own a "Famicom 2" also known as the A/V Famicom. Its design is the same as the NES 2 with the exception of being flat around the cartridge slot for the use of the Famicom Disk System. It also has the A/V support that is missing from the NES 2, which makes it an even more odd omission from the redesigned NES.
i have some ideas for reviews and what it does and demonstrations :
Expansion pak for N64
Sega master system converter, its a genesis add-on to play master system games and how easy to get confused with Mark 1 and Mark 2 models

Hey Craig and Screwattack:
I signed up just to make this post to further stress what so many other g1's have already proclaimed: the Gaming Historian is GOLD. Its simplicity and thorough content is perfect for your site, and personally, it's the best thing I've seen or heard Screwattack since Tom's departure. After being roped in by the AVGN's explosive wit, fury, and no holds barred reviews of shitty games, a few top 10's like none other on the web, the on-and-off laughs with Nametags, and Guru Larry's Retro Corner insanity, lately I've found very little to keep me more interested in keeping it here with SA as opposed to darting over to IGN (or dare I say Tom's Game Heroes site, although the Heroes are also kinda lacking with the Wow! factor). Screwattack has a TON of potential to be a favorite site for all gamers above all other sites out there, but recently, despite all the new people hopping on board and the redesign of the site, things have been more or less blah.
Submitted by digitaldebaser on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 1:01am.
Excellent video, man! Unfortunately, my NES 2 finally died after over a decade of flawless service. I still have the Dogbone controller, and hopefully I can find a new one as a reasonable price.
Submitted by Lockhart on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 6:12am.
Who knows, maybe if I had a toploader I could play all my old games. I don't really know if anyone's original NES works these days anyway. The flashing screen of different colours, with the flashing LED light on the console drive me nuts.
I think it's funny when my friends see my trying to get my NES to work, 'cause they just go "Why are you constantly messing with that, it'll NEVER work again!". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I hate how time can damage things.

Most people don't know about it and it's one of my top 5 favorite consoles along with the redesigns for PSOne and PS2. Great research!

Awesome video. My granduncle had one and I was always amazed by it when I was a kid. I wonder if he still has it and wouldn't mind passing it along to me :D
SNES 2
There was a SNES toploader that had the wobble issiue and was about the same size... but it was grey and purple
THERE'S A SPOON IN MY EAR!
Two things
Awesome piece, just two questions:
1. Will you talk about the Genesis markII and markIII as well?
2. Before you say "It's just $49!" don't forget about inflation.
Hurrah G1

Excellent video, man!
Excellent video, man! Unfortunately, my NES 2 finally died after over a decade of flawless service. I still have the Dogbone controller, and hopefully I can find a new one as a reasonable price.
Wish I had one.
Who knows, maybe if I had a toploader I could play all my old games. I don't really know if anyone's original NES works these days anyway. The flashing screen of different colours, with the flashing LED light on the console drive me nuts.
I think it's funny when my friends see my trying to get my NES to work, 'cause they just go "Why are you constantly messing with that, it'll NEVER work again!". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I hate how time can damage things.
