They may take our market share, but they can never... take... our freedom!

Someone put together this Oldschool Revolution that is pretty clever in its use of older nintendo characters and pop-culture references. See if you can name all the characters and the games they came from in it!

    The pacing for this video was incredibly out of whack. Why they didn't wait until the end of the video to show the credits makes no sense to me.

  • Also, I forgot to mention that I found it amusing that Gates talked about winning the console war thanks to turning a profit. Last time I checked, the Xbox was bleeding billions of dollars. Nintendo has always managed to make money with their products

  • You sir, have way too much time on your hands (I am most impressed that you knew the names of the characters from Ice Climber). I also found the Gates speech at the end to be amusing. But I am a sucker for video game parodies and this did it for me, despite its poor pacing.

  • not really impressed all that much. I like parodies, but on the whole it's a tad cheesy and not in a smart way.
