User:TheNintendoBros.



= TheNintendoBrothers (NintendoBros.) = TheNintendoBrothers is a YouTube channel/filmmaking group started in 2015 by three friends, all big fans of Nintendo games growing up. The idea to start a YouTube channel was inspired by users such as Logan Thirtyacre aka SuperMarioLogan, the Cute Mario Bros. series and the group's knack for voice impressions.

Today TheNintendoBrothers is led by a duo of the same friends, with occasional collaborations with other YouTube channels. They post videos regularly throughout the year.

The Early Years
The earliest videos associated with TheNintendoBrothers were uploaded to YouTube in 2014, but on a different channel. The first video was titled "AMB Movie: Shrek's Bad Day", uploaded in early 2014. The video featured a plushie of the character Shrek, similar to that of SuperMarioLogan's character but more entuned with the character from the DreamWorks films. The earliest videos were recorded using a Nintendo 3DS camera, and were very grainy.

The next video was uploaded a few months later, "AMB Movie: Toad's Stupid Day", again featuring Shrek and introducing other plush characters including Toad, Yoshie and "Big" Mario.

In 2015, after much discussion and debate, a new channel was created: TheLemonBrothers (inspired by the Adventure Time episode "You Made Me" featuring Lemongrab 2).

TheLemonBrothers
TheLemonBrothers was a short-lived precursor to TheNintendoBrothers channel. It was originally planned to start a whole new series with many of the same characters from the "AMB Movie" videos. However, due to time constraints and other issues, the original creators could not start up a new series until late 2015.

Their first Christmas special video was posted in December 2015, in collaboration with all three friends. It was titled "Mr. Jenkins! Holiday Hustle", and was the first to feature their first human character, Mr. Jenkins.

CryptoBros.
After low viewership and lack of channel activity, TheLemonBrothers was renamed to Cryptodynamic Cartoons in 2016, and later, CryptoBros. One of the channel's creators developed the first original art to be used as the channel's icon during this time. It was also around this time that the first social media accounts were opened to promote the channel, including a brief Facebook page.

The majority of the channel's content was produced in 2016, with regular uploads from July-October of that year. Many old video and character ideas were hashed out and redone in 2016, including "Big" Mario from the AMB video series in "Mario's Big Brother!". These newer videos were filmed on a Samsung camera, which was an upgrade from the 3DS video quality. However, the group was still saving up for a professional camcorder at the time.

The biggest video project up until that point was "Mr. Jenkins! Holiday Hustle", which was a 20+ min. video. The following 2016 project, "Shrekie Bucks", was one of the channel's longest and harder to make videos. It was filmed at a mansion next to a golf course in Connecticut, USA. The idea for the video was produced by the same channel creator, the voice of Shrek, Mario and the Pepper of Hell. The title of the video was a play on the comic and cartoon character, Richie Rich.

New videos were uploaded to the channel into 2017, but with much less activity than the pervious year. A new version of "Mr. Jenkins! Holiday Hustle" was produced in December 2017 as "Merry Christmas Mr. Jenkins!".

Hiatus and the return
In the wake of a fallout amongst members of the channel and lack of time, many months went by without any uploads to YouTube. Previous plans for videos were scrapped and it was feared the channel would not return. It wasn't until June 2018 when a new video was uploaded to the channel, now renamed TheNintendoBrothers.

2018 was the start of a new chapter for the channel, with many new videos and collaborations along the way. TheNintendoBrothers has racked up thousands of views on some of their latest videos, with viewership and subscribers increasing. One of their most popular videos is "Shrek's Toilet Problem", with 5K+ views on YouTube. Since 2018 there have been collaborations with users Jacksy, Bob Siwek, etc., as voice-overs and extras.

A special episode was filmed in 2019 on location in Poland, called "Mr. Jenkins Goes to Poland", featuring Mr. Jenkins and friends in Wroclaw and Krakow.

The lost videos
Many videos filmed by TheNintendoBrothers since 2014 have been deleted and/or have gone missing. The earliest plushie videos taken on a Nintendo 3DS were lost after one of the channel creators got a computer virus, wiping out all video files and destroying years of content. Some later videos were lost due to the virus as well.

Some video files were moved to hard drives before the attack and survived, but have been misplaced.

A number of videos were deleted from the channel for unknown reasons, including 2015's "Mr. Jenkins! Holiday Hustle", "Shrekie Bucks" and "Captain Krinkle's Birthday!".
