DVD Reviews of Captain N The Game Master - The Complete Series
DVD Review: Great Classic Gets DVD Treatment
Summary: 4 Stars
Well to start off my review of the Captain N DVD set, i want you to know i'll be reviewing the set, and not the series. The reason i say this is cause alot of people have been complaining that the fact that its not a complete set as it says on the box. When i heard season 3 isnt part of this set, i was angry as much as you guys are, but thats not Shout's fault, its DiC's fault for the way they archive their catalog of cartoons. I'll be grading the review with 1-10 with 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest....duh. Well heres my review on the dvd set we have in our hands:
Presentation:
Pros: Well after seeing the menu design and setup for the Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers Super Show, i was very impressed on Shout treated the series instead of throwing them out like some companies. Zelda had sorta weekest menu design compared to all the sets that are avaiable right now with Captain N being one of my favorites with the NES design that keeps with the series. The introduction was new to the Video Game sets that DiC and Shout have released in the past couple of years. Can't wait to see how Sonic SatAM, Adventure of Sonic, and Adventure of Super Mario 3 will turn out.
Cons: Honestly i didn't see any flaws with the menu design for exception for one item, the intro when it does the opening of Captain N. You can, obiously, tell the cuts they did and i find it a bit distracting. But thats a very minor con that dont effect anything.
Score: 9
Video:
Pros: Wow, just wow. I never seen such good quality in a decade and a half series. I say it did quite good as far as quality at least for a 1989 series turned out. I do not have a HDTV or any HDTV dvd player so i dont know if it'll look better or not but i love how the turn out was for the series and its exactually how i remember it plus better, since back durning that time i had a 32in tv that we didn't have cable at the time.
Cons: Well there are at least two cons i found while watching the set and one is sorta big as far as preservation but also really didn't effect the story line. There was a "cut" that was on the masters itself that made it to the dvds that took out 2 minutes of the episode "Queen of the Apes". Now i have the old VCD of Captain N and rewatched that episode and really the cut wasn't a big issue to begin with but i do have to judge the turnout since really i'm disappointed that it didnt get caught and fixed before the release, if there is some kinda disc replacement, i'm all for it but really its not a big deal since the episode was not the best in the series.
The other con, which i kinda find disturbing, is the picture shakeness in Kevin in Videoland. At times i find it to be a problem, but i'm use to that kinda thing from all the cartoons i have on VCD so i'm use to it but i'm sure others find it to be a problem.
Score: 8
Audio:
Pros: The music quality is pretty good, matter of fact its alot better then my vcd and the downloaded episodes i have collected through out the years. Its a great bonus to have the original intact in Season 2 that brings back so many memories that i haven't had since the days it was aired on NBC.
Cons: Now heres were it gets a bit vid and the reason why i'd score it so low and its mostly the fact that i find it disturbing that Season 2's music stayed in tact but Season 1 did not. My favorite of Season 1 was the Thriller that a girl sung but it would of brought back more memories if they got the rights to have them intacted. But i guess my VCDs will not be going away since all the original music is still on the episodes. Hopefully Season 3 will have them intact too.
Score: 8
Extras:
Pros: I like the design of the Character Profiles and Narriation, thats great to know stuff i didnt know about N Team and Mother Brain's Goons. The Preview for Kevin in Video land was great way to get into the series and the Captain Nintendo story is very interested to read and compare that to the cartoon series itself.
Cons: Well really is what i was most disappointed the most about the whole dvd more then the missing audio from Season 1. It could of used a few more profiles, but obiously the profiles were more towards the characters more in the series then anything else. Now just like how they did it for Legend of Zelda, they should of made the Captain Nintendo story downloadable in PDF format instead of reading it on the screen, it would of been better to have a printout and read it from there.
Score: 7
Overall:
Wow, just wow. I was very impressed and happy with the set, despite the few issues i think that could of need improvement. I mean even a perfect DVD set can also have room for improvements so don't hold that against me. My wishes were that all the promos and commerical break cuts made it to the dvd set but sadly they didnt have the rights to do that, but yet the music for Season 2 stayed in tact even though it was suppose to be cut. There is alot of good things and alot of bad things about this set but really you can't go wrong with it. If you are a fan of video games, espcially Nintendo, you'll like this series. Its what every gamer and nerds dream of all rolled up in a cartoon series. There was alot of things i wish DiC would of done to finish this series up but of course it wasnt in their control durning its time. It would of been nice to see the series conclusion somewhere down the road but other then the fanfics for the series, i dont think we'll see anything to end it nicely.
I'm just hoping that with the sales and that Nintendo can finally get the issue with Yoshi fixed up so Shout can release Captain N & Super Mario World out so we can finally get all the captain n series on dvd. But i guess we'll just have to wait and see. But overall its a great pickup and great to add to your collection
