這是關於 X NES 你不知道的 20 件事。

Unknown Release Here's a fun bit of gaming trivia.

未知發行 這是一個有趣的遊戲冷知識。

Being one of the most influential games ever made, nobody can actually agree on when it was released in the United States.

是有史以來最具影響力的遊戲之一，但沒有人能確切同意它是在美國什麼時候發行的。

We know it dropped in Japan on September 13, 1985.

我們知道它於 1985 年 9 月 13 日在日本發行。

But when it came to the US things turned into a historical scavenger hunt.

不過到了美國，事情就變成了一場歷史大搜查。

The NES itself itself only launched in limited regions on October 18, 1985, and

NES 主機本身是在 1985 年 10 月 18 日於有限區域發售，

record keeping back then was apparently done on napkins.

而且當時的記錄保存竟然是用餐巾紙。

For years, fans assumed Super Mario Bros.

多年來，粉絲們都以為超級瑪利歐兄弟

Arrived in 1986 because it started shipping with consoles around then.

是在 1986 年推出的，因為那時候它開始隨主機出貨。

Nintendo now insists the game launched with the nes, which is adorable, but not exactly supported by reality.

Nintendo 現在堅持遊戲是隨 NES 主機一起發售的，這聽起來很可愛，但跟事實不太符。

A deeply researched article from 2012 argues the US launch actually happened on November 17, 1985, about a month after the console.

一篇 2012 年深度研究的文章認為，美國的發售其實發生在 1985 年 11 月 17 日，大約是主機發售一個月後。

With documentation being as murky as Cheep Cheep Pond, the truth may forever remain a mystery.

由於記錄保存就像 Cheep Cheep Pond 一樣模糊不清，真相可能永遠是個謎。

Theme has Lyrics Nintendo is notorious for guarding its intellectual property with the ferocity of Bowser protecting his eighth castle, firing off cease and desist letters like their party favors.

主題曲有歌詞 Nintendo 以守護智慧財產的凶猛程度聞名，就像是 Bowser 保護他的第八座城堡一樣，發送停止侵害通知函就像發派派對禮物一樣。

But in the early days, the company occasionally approved projects so random you'd think someone misplaced the rulebook.

不過在早期，公司偶爾會準許一些隨機的專案，讓你覺得有人搞丟了規則手冊。

Nintendo ran a contest in 1985 inviting fans to submit lyrics for the first level theme of Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo 在 1985 年舉辦了一場比賽，邀請粉絲為《超級瑪利歐兄弟》第一關的主題曲提交歌詞。

A version called go go Mario 1 and was actually officially licensed by Nintendo and put on vinyl.

一個叫做 go go Mario 1 的版本，實際上是經過 Nintendo 正式授權並發行在黑膠唱片上的。

The track is surprisingly catchy, even if the English translation reads like Mario's motivational calendar.

這首歌出奇地好聽，即使英文歌詞讀起來就像是瑪利歐的勵志月曆。

Due to the previously mentioned Nintendo lawsuit ferocity, I can't play the song, so here's my best rendition.

由於先前提到的 Nintendo 訴訟的凶猛程度，我無法播放這首歌，所以這是我最好的演繹。

Once again today Mario cheerfully takes off.

Again today he cheerfully searches for coins.

Again today, Mario, you will keep pushing forward.

that didn't stop new games from appearing in true undead console fashion.

這並沒有阻止新的遊戲以不死主機的姿態出現。

New unofficial NES games keep appearing, sometimes even on actual physical cartridges.

不斷有非官方的 NES 遊戲出現，有時候甚至是用實體卡匣。

Like it's still 1989 and Blockbuster hasn't betrayed us yet.

就像現在還是 1989 年，而 Blockbuster 還沒背叛我們一樣。

Thanks to the booming retro gaming obsession, passionate fans have taken it upon themselves to create brand new titles playable on original hardware.

拜復古遊戲熱潮所賜，熱情的粉絲們自己動手製作了可在原版硬體上玩的新遊戲。

Shockingly great titles like Always Awakening and Full Quiet remind players why that era still hits so hard.

像是 Always Awakening 和 Full Quiet 這樣令人驚艷的遊戲，讓玩家們回味那個時代為何如此吸引人。

Tight gameplay, charming visuals, and zero microtransactions trying to sell you a hat.

流暢的 Gameplay、迷人的視覺效果，而且沒有任何微交易想賣你一頂帽子。

When people look back at Resident Evil, it's easy to assume Capcom simply invented survival horror in 1996 by trapping players in a mansion full of questionable architecture and even more questionable monsters.

當人們回顧《惡靈古堡》時，很容易認為卡普空在 1996 年只是把玩家困在一個建築風格可疑、怪物更可疑的豪宅裡，就這樣發明瞭生存恐怖。

But the real story wanders somewhere far stranger, right into the library of the original nes, the Famicom.

但真實的故事卻是個更奇妙的旅程，深入了初代 NES，也就是 Famicom 的資料庫。

Years before zombies were moaning at locked doors, Capcom released Sweet Home.

在喪屍開始在鎖著的門後哀嚎的幾年前，卡普空就發行了《Sweet Home》。

a horror themed RPG about a film crew stuck inside a haunted mansion.

一款關於電影製作團隊被困在鬼屋裡的恐怖主題 RPG。

It wasn't just unusual for 1989, it was practically an alien concept on the Famicom limited inventory, strategic planning, and

這不只在 1989 年很特別，在 Famicom 上簡直是個外星概念：有限的道具欄、策略規劃，還有

a creeping dread that something horrible is waiting behind the next pixelated doorway.

一種潛藏的恐懼感，覺得下一個像素化的門後有什麼可怕的東西在等著。

That was Sweet home, and Japan got to experience it, while Western players remained blissfully untraumatized.

那就是《Sweet Home》，日本玩家得以體驗，而西方玩家則安然無恙。

If you've ever flipped over an NES cartridge and wondered why the back looks like a hardware personality test, you congratulations.

如果你曾翻過 NES 卡匣，好奇背面為什麼看起來像硬體性格測試，那恭喜你。

你手上可能拿著很值錢的東西。

in the world of cartridges, screw count can mean the difference between Cool Nostalgia Piece and Please don't breathe near this.

在卡匣的世界裡，螺絲的數量可以決定它是酷炫的懷舊物品，還是「拜託別靠近它」。

Early NES games featured five screws on the back, while later releases shifted to a three screw setup with plastic locking tabs.

早期的 NES 遊戲背面有五顆螺絲，後來的版本則改為三顆螺絲並加上塑膠鎖定片。

Nintendo never gave an official explanation, so we'll assume it came down to age old corporate logic of three screws are cheaper.

Nintendo 從未給出官方解釋，所以我們就猜測是老套的企業邏輯：三顆螺絲比較便宜。

Every NES game released before mid-1987 originally shipped as a five screw version, which makes certain variants surprisingly rare.

1987 年中之前發行的所有 NES 遊戲，最初都是五顆螺絲的版本，這讓某些版本變得出奇稀有。

It's one of Nintendo's most infamous bits of trivia, right up there with Luigi is taller and Bowser really needs a hobby.

這算是 Nintendo 最有名的遊戲冷知識之一了，跟路易吉比較高、庫巴真的該找點事做一樣。

The story everyone repeats isn't entirely accurate.

大家都在傳的故事其實不完全正確。

The game's signature vertical climbing mechanics?

They weren't originally for Doki Doki Panic at all.

這其實一開始並不是為了《夢工廠大冒險》設計的。

Tanabe actually did pitch the idea first as a concept for a brand new Mario game.

田邊先生其實是第一個提出這個想法，作為一個全新瑪利歐遊戲的概念。

Only after the vertical concept found a home in Doki Doki Panic did it become clear that the gameplay blended surprisingly well with Mario's universe.

只有在垂直概念被納入《夢工廠大冒險》之後，才發現這個 Gameplay 跟瑪利歐的世界觀意外地很搭。

那些定義我童年時光的 NES 經典遊戲，感覺在我五歲時就讓我的頭髮都變白了。

There's a reason those pixelated classics hit harder than modern titles with 10 difficulty settings and a Please don't hurt me mode.

那些像素化的經典遊戲之所以比現代那些有十種難度設定和「拜託別傷害我」模式的遊戲更有挑戰性，是有原因的。

Back in the NES era, game development teams were tiny, sometimes just a handful of programmers chained to their keyboards with coffee based life support.

The developers simply played their own games, got extremely good at them, and concluded with great confidence.

開發者們只是玩自己的遊戲，玩得非常厲害，然後非常有自信地下結論。

When the NES era began, game prices weren't far off from what we pay for modern titles.

幾十年後，這個市場看起來就像是個超級迷糊的股票經紀人設計的。

Some cartridges cost pocket change, while others sell for amounts they could pay off someone's student loans and their regrets.

有些卡匣便宜得要命，有些卻貴到可以還清學貸和所有遺憾。

Take the legendary Nintendo World Championship cartridge, which once went for a jaw dropping $100,000 on eBay.

像是傳奇的 Nintendo World Championship 卡匣，曾經在 eBay 上賣到令人咋舌的十萬美金。

Not to be outdone, stadium events fetched nearly $42,000, proving once and for all that that collectors will absurdly empty their bank accounts for rare plastic rectangles.
