The Story Of Nintendo's Official Flash Carts & ROM Site #retrogaming
The Nintendo Power Flash carts were a set of flash carts made by Nintendo themselves for the Super Famicom (SNES) and Game Boy. These carts could hold up to 7 games of your choosing and were cheaper than buying stand alone cartridges. Why did Ninte Nintendo even do this? In this video we'll explore the time that Nintendo made and sold their own flash carts and even ran a rom site of sorts. This is the story of the OTHER Nintendo Power.

Didn't know about the Golden Axe series until I was a teen but I loved that too as well as Shining Force. I thought most of Sega's games sucked compared to SNES. The only time I was really interested in a Sega console was when the Dreamcast came out. I had mine for barely a year and they stopped making games for it, I was so mad.

    I always felt like using Star Fox as the flagship game was a mistake. You're forced to continuously move forward. No turning or looking around. Mode 7 could've done that. Another game was Vortex and starting at the 2nd level you had non-linear exploration of a 3D space. THAT would've been a better game to promote if they fleshed it out a little more.

    This was probably the N64 game me and my siblings played the most on the N64. The amazing thing about the game was the sheer volume of content. Single player campaign, arena challenges, multiplayer, custom arena battles. I've never found a shooter that I've enjoyed that much. Other than the framerate, the game was better than Goldeneye in almost every sense.

    Mystery solved! I saw this in a random store in China Town in Toronto Canada back in the 90's but it had been modified to work with North American SNES carts. I had no idea what it was, as I'm sure they were essentially bootleggers for the games & I'd gone in to buy some Dragonball Z trading cards at the time & found it odd they didn't have actual games for sale but had this machine which clearly fit SNES carts.

    You think Nintendo 64 not doing well in Japan was another reason for this flash cart for the SFC? A way to keep generating sales in Japan? They were trying to compete with the second hand game sales by offering lots of titles via flash cart. Genres like Horse Racing dropped to only 2 titles for the 64 but there were 35 for the SFC. Fishing had 22 titles for the SFC but only 6 for the Nintendo 64.
