I love the Internet. Somewhere out there exists a fellow who wondered, "Y'know what I want? A video showcasing title screens from every Famicom game ever created, arranged in chronological order to a swingin' beat." And being that it had not been done before, said fellow up and did it himself. So here you go, gang: every Famicom screen flashing before your eyes at a rapid-fire rate.
It's almost hypnotic, isn't it? The great thing about a video like this is the ways in which you can watch the level of detail and the design standards evolve from the Famicom's three original launch titles --
Donkey Kong,
Donkey Kong Jr., and
Popeye -- in just the title screens. Amazing how things can change in eleven years.

first comment! :D
I feel really old now :(
I would rather see a version with just the NES games and not the Japanese Famicom games. Sorry, but all the Japanese writing just made me want to stop viewing. I know it's super cool and it's Famicom and everything, but I didn't play Famicom, goddamn it. I played NES. Cool video though.
BTW, anyone notice the Japanese Who Framed Roger Rabbit screen at 2:44?

Then again, I'm just reading this now, so...yeah.
