Description from youtube:
"Technos Japan... a game developer in the 80s and 90s that I feel is underrated. They got famous with Double Dragon in US/Europe but in Japan had a long running series following Kunio, the hot-blooded tough guy high-school student who likes to play sports and fight. Here I go through Technos history as well as look at almost every Kunio game ever made. I apologize in advance for my awkward pronounciation of japanese sentences... I did my best. And the two Super Famicom games I review I've used a fan translation to, by Aeon Genesis. Props to them!"

Maybe you'll like it. And you can correct me on any errors I made.

Wow, very well done.  Good pacing and good jokes.  Gotta love Flintstones basketball :yoshi:

Very nice!

Let me address something you asked in the video.

The reason you need to hold down RESET when turning off battery backed games is because the system wasn't designed with this feature in mind. The procedure of holding down RESET first is to prevent a voltage spike.

With the sudden loss of power, the battery can suffer a sudden shock and either corrupt or lose the SRAM data it's powering entirely.

Holding down RESET first grounds the circuit board without removing power prevents voltage spikes from occurring.

Just watched it.  Nice video!  I love that `holy sh@t` comment on the ridiculous password length:)  `Double date...of PAIN` was also funny ;D

Great video! A good mix of information, criticism and humor. I need to add some of those Kunio-Kun games to my wishlist  :bub:

Oh, since you mention it in the video, there is a way to play four player games on a Famicom: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=5912.0

Thanks for your comments! One thing I regret now is on Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu, the fighting game on FC, I found out later that the last opponents are the "Dragon Twins" and the Double Dragon theme plays in the background! =D That is awesome.
