Super Mario Bros. Complete NES Collection - Wranker 4K Real Hardware NESRGB Playthrough
Channel: Critical Wranker
Date: 2024-03-24

Just finished modding my NES, installing Tim Worthington's RGB board with a custom PSU I designed, and I am truly blown away with the quality of Tim's work. I have never seen a NES look this good, so I thought I might as well upload the footage I captured while I was having some fun playing through the Mario games. If you have an old NES laying around, I highly recommend installing this mod. I have also installed a PPU, CPU and crystal oscillator from a Famicom so the games run at 60Hz same as the US version.

This is a playthrough/longplay of the three NES games released in the west, Mario 1, 2 then 3, upscaled by the Retrotink 5x, captured in 4K, and using the default palette on the RGB board. These really are timeless classics, and I can always pick them up for a quick playthrough and have a great time.

I upload these playthroughs, mainly for integer scaled, real hardware footage preservation, which is why I use no watermarks or overlays. Feel free to use it as you wish, all I ask, is you don't just reupload it in full. Credit would be greatly appreciated but not required. Youtube, obviously bit-crushes video and audio while compressing, so if you want the raw footage of this video, with or without the intro/outro, contact me. While the video is 60Hz and theoretically 60FPS, 90's consoles rarely hit that, any slowdowns in framerate are genuine, and due to the consoles hardware.

Finally, I have started up my second channel again, as I love uploading playthroughs, but I don't want to over load this channel with them. All three of these games will be uploaded there separately soon, and I plan on uploading plenty of content there, so check it out if that's your thing. https://www.youtube.com/@criticalwrankerplays @criticalwrankerplays
