Yoshi's Cookie (Actual NES Capture) - Round 10 Clear

This is a capture of me playing Yoshi's Cookie for the NES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii Virtual Console. This footage was recorded directly from my front-loading NES using a real Yoshi's Cookie cartridge.

Back in the early '90s Nintendo began publishing a bunch of puzzle games following the incredible success of Tetris. These titles included Dr. Mario, Tetris 2, Yoshi, Yoshi's Cookie and Wario's Woods. My mother was a puzzle game fanatic back during this time, so she picked up all of these games except for Wario's Woods. As I recall, my mother picked up both Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie at the same time for our NES, probably around 1993.

Yoshi's Cookie was really fun and may have even been the puzzle game I played the most. My mother, brother and I would battle each other quite a bit in round robin sessions. I also recall us specifically renting the SNES version of the game, although I'm not entirely sure why. We may have rented the SNES version before we got our copy of the game on the NES, or we may have simply rented it afterward due to its puzzle mode and more fully featured battle mode.

In this video I started on Round 10 and played through all 10 stages in that round. Once you complete Round 10, Stage 10 you've beaten the game and you get to see the credits. I tried my best not to lose, but I had to use a continue on the final stage. For some reason, when you go on a streak, the game really cranks up the difficulty and just starts punishing you. But as soon as you use a continue the difficulty seems to drop. It's really strange. Anyway, enjoy the footage.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and a composite connection at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the NES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard NES controller.
