The taboo and secret history of Emulation | Documentary on Emulation and Its Controversies
Emulation has always been a topic of debate and controversy. From the very inception of the concept, emulation sparked major conflicts between tech companies and the history of emulation has a magic side with software created by anonymous developers who seem to appear out of nowhere, taking everyone by surprise, and disappearing just as quickly, leaving behind waves of controversy. And this cycle has never stopped. Just a few weeks ago, we witnessed the conclusion of the six-year-long battle between Nintendo and the Yuzu emulator.
That’s the story of emulation: a story of innovation, driven by a handful of developers so talented that their feats, often achieved alone or in pairs, shook the video game industry to its core. Nintendo and Sony were pushed to the brink, forced to resort to weird maneuvers, lawsuits, and their influence to try and curb emulation - rarely with much success, at least legally. Here is the secret and untold history of emulation: how discreet and passionate developers put stars in the eyes of gamers, transforming an entire industry, and bringing emulation to the masses - while paying a steep price.
Made by Sakharu, voiced over by Brad Ziffer.

The strange and controversial birth of Pokémon Remakes | Doc' and Analysis Pokemon FireRed LeafGreen
มุมมอง 21K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Few series have remakes that hold as much significance as the Pokémon series, they always bring innovations despite being remakes and they are eagerly anticipated by fans for years, sometimes even more so than new games, despite being released only every six years. And all of this was initiated by Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, born out of a very specific need from Game Freak. The announcement an...
The Neo-Geo chronicles, the madness of an uncompromising console | A Complete Neo-Geo Documentary
มุมมอง 426K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
In the 80s and 90s, there was a slogan that you could find everywhere in all advertisements for every gaming console-it was 'arcade at home.' Unfortunately, that was rarely the case, even though some companies like Sega came close from time to time, we were far from having the same quality in home console games as in arcade halls, and that's understandable because these were two different world...
Mario Kart, 30 years of fun and madness | Documentary/Retrospective on the Mario Kart series
มุมมอง 220K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Mario Kart series is one of the most iconic of all time, one of the few series that is universal; we've all played Mario Kart no matter which episode it was, and we've all understood, controller in hand, that these games are special, that they have a different aura from others, that they make us feel a whole range of emotions in just a few seconds. Mario Kart games are very exotic and diffe...
The PlayStation 2 chronicles, redefine modern consoles | A PlayStation 2 Documentary
มุมมอง 774K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
In late '94, after a completely wild development journey, Sony releases the PlayStation in Japan, followed by launches in the United States and Europe a year later. Despite a rocky start, the console gains traction, benefiting from an extensive promotional campaign, the piracy rampant and, more importantly, Sega's numerous missteps with the Saturn and the lack of games on the Nintendo 64. Gradu...

The Nintendo 64 chronicles, isolated and revolutionary | A Nintendo 64 Documentary
มุมมอง 410Kปีที่แล้ว
The Nintendo 64 is one of the most legendary and revolutionary game consoles in history due to its atypical controller, the choice to stay on the cartridge format when everyone else has chosen the CD support, because of the exceptional games that came out on the console and because of its unusual history. Today we go back to the epic of the Nintendo 64, a console that has marked history so much...

    Too bad the Neo-Geo was so expensive. I always wanted to own one. Nowadays there is no point in owning one with how the games evolved and emulation.

    Blew my mind when you pointed out that the world feels more alive & real because the monsters dont all stop everything and chase you. It's a world, you could come and go. Someone else could but didnt. You're rising to a challenge, not the destined one.

    The Neo Geo was an amazing console but the price of the games was a major issue. Games were as much as 5/6 times the Megadrive and SNES. And the Megadrive had Sonic and the SNES Street Fighter 2. Even though the Neo Geo was a beast it became too one dimensional in the end just releasing too many beat em ups and I don't recall there being any 3D car games so to speak of.

    There was a kid in our neighborhood whos dad was a electronics importer/ salesman and he had both Neo Geo and a 3DO. We were blown away playing those consoles. Its not like they were on every shelf in all the stores either, pretty rare to find one in a store in my town back in the day. For the time, they were definetly amazing.

    Recently i got my first N64 (2024) - in original box and with many games now and accessories! Back then in 1997 i had PS1 and i thought N64 was for kids with the games available back then. Today N64 keeps up and smart with the non-copy cartridges. I can see the fun with this console after decades now 😊

    Emulators would stay accepted by companies, if they wouldn't emulate current generation consoles. That's the biggest problem I think.

    I remember playing Zelda right after its US release (yeah I’m old), but I never really got into it. It was fun, but not something I wanted to play all the time. I was the same way about Metroid. No complaints; just took in low doses. I LOVED dragon warrior, and in 1987 I got the game that changed games forever for me; Final Fantasy, the original. From then until FF13 changed everything and screwed the game series up, I was hooked. So Zelda was just lost in the mix for me. I really liked Zelda 2 and 3 but I’ve never played a Zelda game since. Also, I had no idea, I guess I was just a little too young to know about Ultima on microcomputers, but I do remember playing the full blown RPG of Ultima on the Nintendo.

    None of u old enough or lucky enough to be in sf the year 2000 at the metreon to play the first ps2 games before they were even released! First and only PlayStation store. Growing up I thought this type of futuristic shit was going to be the norm! Little did I know the future was gunna suck this bad! Even if ur a millionaire ur still forced to just play in ur room on a screen. This place had a virtual reality halo game 10 before halo! Indoor rollercoaster, first Microsoft store, discovery channel store, imax theater and on the 5th floor it had a where the wild things are adventureland.

    I had a nintendo when i was 5 till the 64 came out. I remember having a sega at one point but idk what happened to it. I completely missed the snes sadly i played it at friends but didnt own one till after i had a 64 i picked it over playstation because i didnt like loading lol the following year i got a playstation i definitely used my ps more but games like mario 64, smash, 007 and zelda were absolutely a pivitol part of my teenage years. I also had gameboy, then color, then advance, and sp. They got tons and tons of play and i have so so many good memories playing those however they were the last Nintendo systems I ever had.

    Sony- 100s of garbage games. To which almost none have stood the test of time without complete remakes. Nintendo- most of the games are still playable as is. Revolutionized gaming and more. One stood the test of time, the other did nothing to be honest.

    I really wanted a neogeo when I was a kid, but I think partially because it was a legendary device in the UK. Pretty much not in any marketing a kid would see, and prices that kept games and consoles out of the shops. It was like the opposite of a boogeyman’s name - a name that suggested something incredibly cool and realistic, but didn’t represent much more than that.
