The Most Obscure Console Ever: The Nuon - Rare Obscure or Retro - Rerez

Found a Toshiba 2300u nuon DVD player for $12 at a good will. Compared to the prices online I think I got a deal.

Since this was made rotary controller interfaces using original Nuon joypad chips have been made. In the way the developer Jeff Minter put a rotary mode in Tempest 2000 on the Jagaur he did the same here...

Hey! Buckaroo Banzai is the GOAT

Everything about this failed console feels like a fever dream, it's like the console you play when you're dreaming of a parallel universe.

That racing game tracks look a lot like crash team racing

i seem to remember some obscure game that had hidden features unlocked by putting certain MUSIC cds into the system...i can't remember the details.

How dare you speak ill of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

the ps2 did it far better.

Woah. The founder of VM Labs needs a personal assistant, that's an awful headshot even for the 90s.

I wonder if Richard Miller was a Babylon 5 fan.

But Samsung stole that design from Apple

That's not the only and first time Samsung had a console there was the super Aladdin boy in Korea or Sega mega drive/genesis

Merlin Racing’s adventure story mode kinda reminds me of both the Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart’s adventure story mode feature

No wonder that it failed. Its made by a company, responsible for the video game crash in 1978. What was Atari thinking. 😮 😅

DVD in The 2000s Lived The Rise Of Portable DVD Player's & Samsung Needs To Make A Gaming Console..... Again Without Out DVD Ability You Get The Idea if Samsung Get Back To The Gaming Console Arena I Mean Now Samsung Makes Controllers For Your Phone & Samsung Gaming Hub But What if... Samsung Gets Back To Making There Own Home Gaming Console

Whatchu talkin 'bout Willis!?? Bedazzled is an awesome movie!!

This was 9 Friggin Years Ago!?🤦‍♂️
What is happening to time?
😅👍

Elizabeth Hurley is So beautiful, it feels like i haven't seen her in a movie for like 15+ years.
Now i'm curious why.
😅👍

I think that Merlin Racer is also on PlayStation, but under a different name and without the Adventure mode.

Man his hair is looking so weird 😂😂😂

Ya know we wanted to see that Shin Chan game. Dont pretend Shin Chan isnt awesome

There's a reason the PS2 did as well as it did. It was a good DVD player AND a good console.

Fun Fact: Nuon inspired the DVD play back functionality on the PS2

No joke, I truly thought you said "BM Labs". I was about to type a comment until the video progressed, and it became clear that it was wasn't what I thought I had heard.

I had TWO NUON systems . One a SAMSUNG and the other a TOSHIBA . It's too bad they didn't sell . If you really knew how to program you could probably come close to a PS2 graphics wise almost . What made it a killer player is they were professional level DVD players . It had all the different audio/video inputs in the back . And the video controls were professional level . You could go frame by frame .

Now we know why we never saw VM Labs NUON. Restrict the software, you DON’T see the hardware. That’s SO unfair! I was praying for the promised 3D graphic capabilities that were going to be VASTLY superior to what we had at that time, that AGAIN we never saw

Cdi. Failed
3do. Failed
Lesson learned?
Let's do Nuon

This video is 10 years old now

Saturn was a fail… I wouldn’t call Dreamcast a failure

Freefall has a very fancy beginning cut scene, and then the terrible gameplay starts😂😂😂

It seems more like a CTR clone lol.

And here we are coughing up 700-900 dollars for a PlayStation.

Where is “Rerez” from? His ethnicity I mean. My guess is … Brazil?

Apparently people make homebrews for this, pretty cool if you ask me

128 bits cpus does not exist in gaming devices, not even in commercial computers, so the fact that the Nuon was 128 bits was a lie

Nuon Doom when?

Tempest 2000 great game was on the Jaguar as well i still have that version of the game, the last controller looked like the turbo controller for the sgea genesis i know i played enough sonic 3-d blast on it and every sonic game to be played using the controller i still have my sonic the hedgehog from 1991 for me the best jaguar game was Trevor Mcfur in the crescent galaxy also tried the tiny toons game as well.

When Rerez was actually good and not an annoying prick.
