    This is our last video of 2019! Technically, we shot this video before the Kinect Past Mortem but this is our last upload of the year. If you've been following us recently, you know this has been a wild and tough year for SSFF. Producer Grace and I are so lucky to be able to do this for a living but there were days in 2019 where we genuinely weren't sure if we could keep going. But you all came through and have continued to support us, and 2020 is looking like a year full of possibility. We did 33 videos this year! That's almost 3 videos a month! We gotta see if we can beat that record in 2020! And knowing that we have YOUR support is going to make it all worth it. We'll be taking a short vacation for the next few weeks, but we'll be back in January, rested and ready to crush it in 2020.
    Rest well. Never Stop. Stay Powerful.
    -Uncle Derek

    Having Aria of Sorrow in the GBA slot when you boot up Dawn of Sorrow didn't ONLY have that doll appear. It also let you start a new game with the "Rare Ring" In your inventory which when equipped, causes enemies to drop items more often. VERY USEFUL.

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention that there was extra Pokémon you could get in the wild using the GBA games in the slot. For example you can catch wild Gengar without having to trade for them in the haunted mansion area of the game. Really neat feature which makes replaying the game easier in 2019 because you don’t need friends to get some of the good mons.

Try to animate 600+ pokemon in 2 or 3 years of development, especially with pokemons that didn't have any before.

    You don't need the rumble pack. If you have Wario Ware Twisted or Drill Dozer, the DS will read them as rumble in compatible games. I know this because I was playing Super Princess Peach and I was too lazy to take out Drill Dozer and out of nothing it started to rumble when I got hit. It was a pleasant, although weird, surprise.

      Interesting find! Unfortunately, I've yet to replicate this. I tried using Drill Dozer as a Rumble Pak substitute for Magnetica and Metroid Prime Pinball and couldn't get either game to recognize it. Even tried booting in auto mode to no avail. Best I could do was get the system to very briefly recognize Drill Dozer as a DS Option Pak on startup, which makes me think the work-around is possible under the right circumstances. It doesn't seem to work if the system treats what's in the GBA slot as a game, but maybe there's a way to trick it?

    Another game that used the GBA slot for stuff is Super Robot Wars W. Super Robot Wars W takes advantage of the NDS's double cartridge slots by way of giving the player the option of additional money from starting a new game with the GBA based SRW games slotted, and provides a special unit part for each; the part is "Soul of (Dai-2-Ji)SRW-(A/R/D/J/OG/OG2)"; the part in parenthesis is what varies in the name. each part adds various amounts to the equipped unit's Armor, Mobility, and Accuracy. Though SRW 2 for the GBA is extremely rare due to the fact that it was only bundled with Super Robot Wars GC.

    I was a longtime Boktai fan, so I was happy to see Lunar Knights use the old GBA carts as sensors. But it was kind Limited! The carts only took a "snapshot" of the sunlight hitting them at a given moment, then used that for a period of time. Then you had to expose it to more Sunlight for the bonuses. I would have preferred a full-on real-time solar sensor, but Lunar Knights was working off of an internal weather system, so I see why they didn't.
    Fun fact: there were 3 Boktai games, but only 2 came to the us. In order, when connected to Lunar Knights (titled "Boktai DS" in Japan), they'd restore your Health, Magic, or Trance gauge. Because the 3rd game never came to the us, they just made Boktai 2 restore both your SP *and* your Trance.
    Also, the Konami/Capcom links predate MMBN5 for DS; Boktai's cameos with MMBN started with Battle Network 4. Kojima himself cameos in the game in a Boktai-themed area! If you want some really fun wonky-periferal fun, track down a copy of Boktai 2 and MMBN5 and two Wireless adapters for the GBA. The games had a "crossover battle" mode where both games had a unique fight against Shademan.EXE, and could send the other player "hazards" to make the fight harder. And it only worked with the wireless adapters, you couldn't use the link cable for it.

      Ooh, I remember Boktai 2 and MMBN5's crossover battle! Played it a couple of times with my brother and it was surprisingly fun, too.
      On top of that, linking the two games would also unlock new content in both, if I remember correctly. Boktai 2 at least has a short sidequest involving MegaMan.EXE that was otherwise inaccessible (unlike a lot of the Boktai content in the Battle Network games) and I still have the bonus items from that on my cartridge.

    Thumbs up for mentioning Mega Man Battle Network 5 DS. That was hands down one of my favorite games on the DS, and the connectivity with GBA games was pretty wild. Aside from the SolCross transformation, there were also two different BassCross transformations that could be unlocked, both of which were pretty awesome. One of my favorite features of the GBA slot connectivity was that you could unlock new battle themes by plugging different MMBN games into the GBA slot, all of which were remixes of the battle themes of the respective game.

    The only DS / GBA game extra I knew about, and found out by complete accident, was the bonus video when you plugged Warioware Touched! and Warioware Twisted together in the same DS. You got a music video of the Mona Pizza song. According to Wario it's "not even on the internet yet," though I don't know how true that is anymore.

    I love how it is official Mega Man canon that the main character of the Boktai games somehow converted himself into data and entered the digital world just so he could kill someone's phone avatar that was vampire-themed.

      Sidenote on that: Battle Network is a separate canon from the main (Classic/X/Zero/ZX/Legends) series. ...But yes, Django and Otenko are indeed quite canon in those games. They're...kinda one of the only good things about 4, come to think.

    I love that in Megaman ZX you can unlock new boss fights and an entirely new transformation ability if you insert Megaman Zero 3 or 4 into the GBA slot.

    • @UltimaKeyMaster
      @UltimaKeyMaster 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe you don't need to use the GBA slot for that, but the only way you can unlock Model OX otherwise is by having a clear-game save, so it's not too terribly useful for actually finishing the game. It IS really cool, though.

    The interconnectivity between Aria and Dawn of Sorrow isn't just that one doll in Yoko's shop; you also get an item called the Rare Ring, which increases rare item drops when you start a Dawn game with Aria inserted.

    There was also a DS Lite-sized Rumble Pak available only in Japan, I imported one.
    In the UK, the Memory Expansion Pak was bundled with the Web Browser and you had to be careful to get the correct size (Regular/Lite).

  • @Gfreak250

    One of the best experiences I've ever had with a DS game is the combination of Space Invaders Extreme, the Rumble Pak and the Hori Nintendo DS Earphones. It is honestly one of the most underrated experiences.

    You forgot completley about the secret hidden feature of putting Red Rescue Team in your GBA slot on the DS.
    You have a 1 in 6 chance every time you start up any DS game while Red Rescue Team is in the GBA slot to completley erase the data on said DS game.
    EDIT: Never mind, it's the other way around. Blue Rescue Team in the DS Slot affects GBA games. Whoops.

    Fun Fact: There is a third-party GBA slot add-on which lets you play Famicom carts on your DS Lite, It's called the Familator Lite, and if you wanted to you could also get one of those adaptors and play NES games on it. Compact? No. Interesting? Yep.

    One of the cooler features of the GBA Pokemon game connectivity is exclusive Pokemon you can only get if you insert a GBA game while playing the DS game. For example, Magby can only show up in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl if you have Pokemon Leaf Green inserted. Platinum sort of remedies some of this necessity to own all 5 GBA games by having some of those rarer Pokemon show up more.

    The Japanese versions of the first three Ace Attorney also have some gba slot compatibility. Basically if you plug in the GBA version of Phoenix Wright while playing Phoenix Wright on the DS you can unlock all cases so you won't have to replay the entire game to unlock all the cases (and the new fifth case)

  • @IncoherentOrange
    @IncoherentOrange 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like you touched on, the GBA slot is needed for something interesting in the world of flash carts. Some cards from the DS era had to have a memory expansion connected to play GBA games from its microSD, and was sold with an aftermarket one for use. This one had 32MB on it, enough for any GBA program and supposedly worked with the browser too, but it looks dubious. The explanation I've found for this is that the DS cart interfacing from Slot-1 itself can't really do the interactions that occur between the hardware and the GBA slot normally. What resulted when trying to do so was very poor performance from GBA ROMs. So what they do is load the ROM into the memory pack, and play it from that.
    I received such a card, a memory expansion, and the DS browser all at the same time for Christmas, and it was just confusing to me that there were two memory expansion cards. I didn't need either since the browser is crap and I had no GBA software to load on the card. I had to dig it out when I wanted to bring a Pokemon Emerald ROM tweaked with the physical/special split that occurred in generation IV (moves using either Sp. Atk or Atk were determined by type, afterward set per move allowing physical water-type attacks, for instance) and reusable TMs to original hardware.

    I have no idea where the whole biodiversity thing came from... I just remember it was a way to move Pokemon from Gen 3 games to Gen 4 after you had completed the main story and gained the National Pokedex. I think it was there both as some nice postgame (There's a lot of postgame in D/P/Pt), and to help with the whole "complete the national dex" thing. Lets you get all Kanto and Hoenn Pokemon, in addition to the Sinnoh dex you start with.
    Oh, and in some areas, D/P/Pt will read what game is in slot 2 and allow you to *find* extra Pokemon in the wild in certain areas.
