      That's a fair criticism, and I appreciate you pointing this out. I think my thought process when I added these points to my iceberg was mostly based on how much these creators had been discussed in tandem to the game itself (at least from the discussion I had found anyway). I've seen other icebergs with similar points (notably the Tomodachi Life iceberg). The RTgame point and some of the videos from various creators mentioned (Summoning Salt, Silokhawk, Nintendo Hero etc.) are still all interesting imo, but I do see why it could come off as repetitive. Also worth noting that I got a lot of comments saying they were pleasantly surprised to see RTgame, Poofessure etc., but also comments in a similar vein to yours. Thank you again.

    23:03 This is probably the build region, date, and time for the game. It's a useful feature in late testing to be able to check what build the game is on, to ensure that people reporting bugs aren't reporting an old bug that has been fixed. I guess it got left in the final release, probably just an oversight.

    • @Nummer378
      @Nummer378 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah that was my thought too, it fits with a likely gold build (RTM) of all editions except Japan. 2009/06/05 is slightly less than two months before the release date of most of the world, so probably enough time to produce and ship disks for initial launch. It is however only 21 days before the Japan release, which sounds a bit short.

    I remember playing a ton of the Island Flyover minigame and trying to get all the Info bubbles. For the longest time I had found a small cave at ocean level that was very narrow and I got lucky and got a bit inside and found a star from mario 64 inside, I was never able to get it and I think about it a lot. I would have loved to have known about that infinite timer in the debug menu

    For more info about what was mentioned at 17:53 this is the version that came with my wii, I live in america and my parents got the wii family edition (RVL-101) (in case you don't know the family edition has all Gamecube compatibility features including Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots removed for a lower price, it also comes in black and is designed to sit horizontally) while the family edition originally came with Super Mario Bros. Wii and a limited edition soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy later versions did in fact come with Wii Sports+Wii Sports Resort (the version released in Europe was white and came with Wii Party and Wii Sports).
    I hope this clears up any questions any of you fellow viewers may have about this topic.

    22:35 I'd say that's the build timestamp of the game. In software development, it is sometimes practice to include the build timestamp of a given piece of software within itself, that is, the time and date when the software was compiled/assembled/built into a program. Maybe the "Product" text indicates that it is the final release build, not a debug or in-development build.
    I wonder if the text in the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle would be different?

  • @ArbitraryOutcome

    Something I think this iceberg glossed over was the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel functionality. If enabled, Wii Sports Resort will pull Miis from the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel as spectators and opponents in most sports. This means you can end up in interesting situations like facing off against Peter Griffin in Basketball or Michael Jackson in table tennis.
    The feature was non-functional for several years following WiiConnect24's discontinuation in 2013, but since the revival of the Check Mii Out Channel through RiiConnect24, this feature works again.
