Me neither, but I DID watch the show about it.

Watched this again a couple of weeks ago after not seeing it since I was a kid. Realized the narrator sounded really familiar then found out he was the narrator for Dragon Ball Z.

Never understood why Megaman looked like a child and sounded like they smoked 15 packs a day.

Even Captain N couldn't beat Bayou Billy

blueknight78c.bsky.social•10 days ago

True, but his version of Bayou Billy looks MUCH easier. 😆

theevilmullet.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh man, Captain N! I used to watch this all the time.

Hahahaha. By far the most bonkers of the Nintendo cartoons. It’s sooo … Americana. 🤣 Of that era. Ahhhh. Memories.

Dude's a pro with those unconventional moves against King Hippo. Not even waiting for an opening, just tiring himself out so KH only thinks he has the advantage.

I met Captain N at ACEN last year. I pretty much cried + kneeled and begged for a photo. Probably made this guys day too.

Honestly I wonder if people have done a better job themselves lmao

I always wanted them to have Samus in the animated show.

Still have the DVD set. Guess it's time to dig that back out of the boxes in the garage! 👾

blueknight78c.bsky.social•10 days ago

No need, I think every episode is on YouTube now.

jontyscorner.bsky.social•11 days ago

Adult me now thinking 'Y'know, I could probably make a NES pad into a belt buckle....'

exiledgamer.bsky.social•10 days ago

I remember watching this cartoon. Simon was a real arrogant blowhard in it.

jeffman1490.bsky.social•11 days ago

I still want to get sucked into a video game world.

sirshepard.bsky.social•11 days ago

I watch this show but really hated what they did to the Blue Bomber

blueknight78c.bsky.social•10 days ago

That's not half as bad as what they did to Cutman. 🤦

Mega Man from this show still mega haunts me.

I always wondered why Simon Belmont looked like a Scandinavian ice climber.

ihatehandls.bsky.social•11 days ago

Now that I think about it, this is bullshit because I was way better at Kid Icarus, Metroid, Castlevania, and Mega Man than Kevin was. And which game did the princess come from again? You got all those princesses in those games, and you have to make one up? #NerdRage

ryanwritesgood.bsky.social•11 days ago

Shhhhhhh here have a DK banana...

ihatehandls.bsky.social•11 days ago

I need a legit princess, not potassium! Whatever happened to Pauline, speaking of DK? Like what is she doing these days other than being Mario’s ex?

ryanwritesgood.bsky.social•11 days ago

Um, she's the highly-successful Mayor of New Donk City.

And a singer.

ihatehandls.bsky.social•10 days ago

I thought she’d have like four kids she was trying to pin on Mario by now

ryanwritesgood.bsky.social•10 days ago

Mayor Pauline is a strong independent woman who don't need no Mario

rudawg74.bsky.social•11 days ago

Wow! This one flew over the Cuckoo's nest! Totally forgot about Capt. N! 💯👍

abelfelix.bsky.social•11 days ago

I used to watch that show as a kid and hated how they design that mega man character.😕

cdub77.bsky.social•10 days ago

I worshipped this show and had to set an alarm to be up in time to watch it cause it was so so so early. Only pre 7-am Saturday morning show I ever got up for.

nshade666.bsky.social•10 days ago

First off, that is the weirdest take on the power-glove ever.Secondly did anyone else read Captain Nintendo in Nintendo Power and feel a little apprehensive this show would be like that?Oddly enough the similar Power Team cartoon was closer to that story but used Acclaim videogame characters instead
