Needs to be topped with either Virtua Racing or one of those Codemasters J-Cart games.

Seriously though, has anyone ever plugged Sonic & Knuckles into Sonic & Knuckles? What does it do? What doesn't it do?

I've been told that locking on S&K to S&K pretty much just makes it play S&K, unmodified. Sticking more on top and then topping it off with a Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 cartridge tends to wind up making it not boot at all, because all those cartridges are too resistive for the circuit to complete.

I forget which Sega systems could lock together to form a tower, but I always called the resulting contraption the Megazord as a kid. There's a Dreamcast game where you're able to fight that one tower in a shmup-style battle ( click for link) so that might actually be sort of appropriate.

I think that's where the idea comes from. Not that NES was the hardest system around. But it's what everyone had. And what everyone moved on from. It's one thing for someone to have played Phantasy Star and compare it to 4. But who the hell owned a Master System back then? But who the hell (in europe) owned a NES back then? Right now, I'm thinking "Nintendo hard" comes from a part of the US community who is kind of uneducated regarding classic gaming systems. If anyone from the UK is reading, does a equivalent term(spectrum hard, specci hard?) exist?

It's true "Nintendo hard" is very very recent and while the phrase is a little older, didn't really get prominent until Demon's Souls came out. It was born out of needing a term for people to feel better than people that don't play masochistically difficult games that don't have the competence to know what makes a difficult game actually still good or not and why a game being easy to play isn't automatically a bad thing about a game.

I heard that it generates a Hell-portal to the netherrealm, and it coughs up a working flash cartridge of the sonic.exe creepypasta that kills you for real and eats your soul if you die in-game. Alternative theory: It turns into a functional copy of Half-Life Episode 3.

I'm not sure if the joke was added to the German version, but at the end of Monkey Island 2, when LeChuck and Guybrush argue, LeChuck says he's got "a SEGA". Not sure if Guybrush has a NINTENDO, but in Germany, the SNES was referred to as the Super Nintendo for the most part.

Nice. I've been meaning to check that too. Pretty awesome video and one of their better songs in recent years.
