Emulators.

Exactly, the only way to get an NES looking like that clear is to do some heavy modifications.

Sadly even if you do the RGB mod with the Playchoice-10 PPU, you'll still end up with slightly off colors, so it STILL won't look as good as those emulated playthroughs.

the other way to do it without an emulator is correctly placing your camera right in front of the tv and record he footage. some retro video game reviewers do that, like
james rolfe "the angry video game nerd". here's a video on how he makes the episodes (not sure if he mentions it in the video).
some other people do that same thing to keep it legit instead of using emulators. pat the nes punk does that as well.

Or you can have a video input on your video card on your computer or even video editing equipment. However, that's not what they were talking about. Pointing the camera at the television is going to look like crap. He wanted to know why certain videos on Youtube looked so clear.
