Goose, there is nothing useless about the facts in these videos. Just the other week I was caught in the middle of a hostage situation in my local bank and I managed to placate the robbers by regaling them with obscure information about Mario Golf. By doing so, I believe I saved my life along with the lives of a dozen other bank customers and employees.
Keep up the good work!
That genuinely sounds believable. I assume many men caught in the life of crime these days would be roughly our age, so regaling them with N64 facts might just be the humanizing trick it takes to get out of a sticky situation.
Better not be in any bank I'm robbing, I've already heard them all 😈
This claim is as believable as a Nillew high score.
These videos give, and save, life
@@cyberdragonzekrom6790 hahahahahahaha. Wild to me that he can upload things w/o proof and people are just like sure
Oh hell yeah, I love these "20m of useless XYZ facts", it's the perfect thing to have on when you're winding down for the evening
i want 20 facts about Marc Rützou
Agreed !
It’s morning here
@@ChicagoMel23 is that right
Exactly what I'm doing after work 😂
The one thing I found interesting was that a guy said to have done a score without photo proof on all the ones mentioned. I bet he also found the Mew in the truck in Pokemon Yellow Red and Blue 😂
Great video though!
I found it funny how Nillew has all these obscure world records, but no proof on any of em.
20 years playing this game and I've never seen Pikachu flying with the articuno...
I’ve done this a few times pretty toyhh
Anyone else remember how Blockbuster advertised they'd give you a free copy of the game if you beat it on their in-store display, but the display would reset to a blank save that would autostart at level 1 every ~20 minutes?
😮
I remember my mom saw this game and said it was lame and my cousins did to but I absolutely loved it. One of my favorite n64 games.
How did that one leaderboard guy place top on category after category and each time he never had proof for it while also barely beating the next in line for the WR?
Yhea, that "Nillew" person seems to be bullshiting
Me and my friends still occasionally gather round and try to beat each others high scores. Even though it's not _really_ a "multiplayer" game this is imo still one of the best irl couch games.
There's an awful lot of "trust me bro I beat the world record by one point I wouldn't lie to you bro" coming from Nillew here
Wonder why is this a thing. Records without proof shouldn't even be on the leaderboards. Can I go there an claim that I have a 5000 Magikarp on Cave and my name will stay on top?
My first thought regarding the t-shirt was that the Pikachu was the one calling the Zubat an idi*t b*stard. It fits quite well, I would say.
Ohhh, that could be it!
@@GamerFolklore No. It's a bebop reference. it's literally using the "SEE YOU" from "SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY" in the exact same font and placement.
I'd love to see you talk about all those weird mario tennis cups. You know, the blockbuster cup, the ign cup, the game informer cup, etc. I never really understood them. Like how did those promotions work?
That's interesting. I'm not super familiar with Mario Tennis as a whole, and definitely not those cups. But I will look into it! It reminds me of these "codes" in Mario Golf which were for the "Hyrule Camp" summer events.
Good suggestion champ
I have only ever played Pokemon Snap in the late 90's inside a floridian Blockbuster. I remember it was one of those systems attached to an early color printer, so you could get actual printouts of your snapshots; a 3x3 grid of pics on a paper the size of a normal photograph.
I would love to allege that I still have mine but I vaguely remember tossing them during one move, thinking, "Nah, these aren't worth anything, I didn't even know how to play the game."
And while that is true, it is channels with videos like these that make me think, very long, about the true "value" we hold on things like that. I know was right, they were probably terrible and I genuinely didn't know how to play the game. But for someone like yourself, finding some original Pokemon Snap Blockbuster printouts would be a surge of nostalgic joy, even if it's just as fleeting and temporary as my time spent in that Blockbuster.
I have been beginning to compile all my old computer files into just a couple backup drives. I have taken an extreme liking to my old screenshot folders, from various games, at various points in time. I have Unreal Tournament screenshots from when I lived with my dad and the game ran at 400x300 so I could get at least a goldeneye framerate. I have ones from games I barely even remember having played, and ones from games that started from nearly nothing and become something immeasurably incredible, like Warframe, and Terraria.
These nostalgic memories and silly factoids are indeed useless to have, right up until they become incredibly important. I think about that stupid piece of paper from blockbuster more than I ever thought I would have. I also think and wonder why you can't fully break everything in Bunker 2 and shoot out all the lights because some of the lights seem to respawn but not always? And you can't even shoot out all the lights in Silo, because some aren't lights at all. But somehow despite knowing that, I have only learned this year that a game I have spent 26 years with, you can open the silo ceiling by being unarmed.
Keep goosin' off in these games. I think it helps keep creativity sharp and active, and the nostalgia makes it fun. It made me type an UNEXPECTEDLY LONG wall of text at one in the morning based around a game I have less than two hours total in.
Thank you for this amazing comment. May you long remember the good times, and here's to many more memories to be resurfaced! ☺️
I think that guy without photo proof is a bit sus...
Also, a Mickey Speedway USA video would be nice considering that there's that new Disney racing game coming out.
Please keep making these lore videos, it’s always interesting to hear the facts you compile
We all had that one friend who took amazing pictures that couldn't be repeated. Ever.
It would be fun to figure out the origin of the shirt. Personally I think it is of east Asian origin. 95% chance it is referencing Cowboy Bebop (because of font of the first two words). Also I.B. is not a common insult in English, I think it might be a literal translation of 馬鹿野郎. I think it was probably procured from a street vendor in an Asian country.
That is some fascinating additional context. It does sound plausible.
I have no idea why but these are the best videos before going to sleep. Very relaxing and full of memories i guess.
Mario Tennis videos would be neat !
That's exactly what I'm going for. Have a nice sleep! 🌙💤
I was like 11, I would walk to Toys “R” Us everyday to play the Pokémon Snap machine they had until I had my own copy.
This video was just what I needed. A tree fell on my home yesterday and absolutely destroyed it along with my game room. So no video game nights for awhile or anything. But videos like this keep me positive
The cicadas ambient in your videos for some reason brings back feelings of nostalgia. Is it that our time outside as children and the sound of summer cicadas has embedded itself in our minds as one of the sounds of our youth? Yes, I think it has. Goose, I thank you sincerely for bringing back the feelings of our childhood, anew, something that will never be forgotten, but will be amplified through the your great history lessons and story telling.
the see you is in the bebop font its 100% a bebop reference
I've come to agree with that as I was editing the video. It's still an interesting crossover for a t-shirt!
Shoot, you can make an hour video talking about anything and we will be there no matter what.
Genuinely super interesting video! I love Pokemon Snap but I think the only thing I knew was probably Ekans
I've NEVER seen the Articuno Pikachu thing in my LIFE! That's nuts!
I vaguely remember seeing flying Pikachu but it might have been a Nintendo Power article.
Wonderful video as always! I don't know if this is your kind of thing, but it would be fun to see you accept a bunch of random or pre-selected Pokemon Snap pictures and guess what the score would be. Would be a fun way to show off your knowledge and also break down some of the mechanics in a fun way. Anyway, thanks for the new vid!
That would be weirdly fun. I wonder how I could integrate that into some fun content. 🤔
Excellent job, as always! :)
And thank you for including me in your video ^^
Merci for so many great shots in these niche Pokémon Snap categories!
Nillew seems to be what we would call in northern Brazil a "bacabeiro", someone who lies or exagerates his feats to impress others but with no real proof
Ekans' exclusion seems so weird to me. The models are pretty much the same as pokemon stadium's, and ekans looks fine in stadium, it's even a playable mini game character, so I don't know if it's animation was an issue
The level it was in is savanna, and I don't know if that level was ever seriously meant to be in the game or if it was just a test area since it's so flat, but it doesn't make sense to be to cut the pokemon if the level was cut rather than just moving it to another level.
I feel like ekans would be right at home on beach or river. It could replace the last meowth that the pidgey attack and slither away or strike depending on if the player intervenes. On river, maybe it could be chasing the poliwag out of the grass and into the river, but you could drive it away and photograph it later in the stage?
Yes, TH-cam Algorithm. This is EXACTLY the type of obscure, useless content I want. Thank you. 🎉
New subscriber here and I haven't even gotten into the facts yet 😂
Awesome, enjoy!
Useless ? Yes. Obscure ? Also yes. Awesome video ? Hell yes
Happy to see content around more games!
HAL being 1 letter each behind IBM is, your brain is Really good to recognize something like that. Well done bro
Goose you could come up with anything and I'd watch. Your videos are relaxing and nostalgic.
That's exactly what I'm going for, so thanks!
nillew seems to hold a lot of these records with no proof. for a game this old and optimized, photos should be mandatory to qualify for the leaderboards
yeah what is going on there lmao? for any other game I would understand but snap saves the photos and scores and you can access them any time... taking photos is too much to ask for a game about taking photos? :p
Before Mario Golf now Pokémon Snap, it's a nostalgia grand slam
Intresting that this Nillew guy always achieves scores nobody else can but never has proof huh
the pair of snap games are probably my favorites in the franchise.... I guess i enjoy photo safaris more than battling ;) seeing the pokemon in nature environments is always so cool to me.
nice video! i did not know some of these before...like using the c buttons to slow the car down even more to get a really close picture of pika on articuno. i just assumed you could look back for it, but it would always be too tiny to ever get a great size photo from. but that extra slow down really brings up its points.
I am loving these videos Goose! I love the N64 era so I am glad someone is keeping it alive! To give some suggestions or requests, could you consider making videos about some of the other more obscure N64 titles out there like the Bomberman ones, Mischief Makers, Quest, etc? There is so much out there to appreciate other then the Nintendo and Rare classics!
OOOMG so satisfied to kick off my friday night with this while i do some snap runs
These become one my favorite videos of yours
That’s the perk of having the strategy guide when you had the game. You learn all these ins and outs about the Pokémon special moments.
Pokemon Snap is one of my most beautiful Pokemon games
Great video Goose! Mabe a cold drink today tho as it's 28° lol.
I had 0 interest in the game until you started speed running it last years 👏 🎉
True, it's getting warm here. I still don't mind a hot chocolate after midnight!
Having to clip through articuno to get the maximum score on the ‘Pikachu On Articuno’ photo is hilarious to me
Hmm so the sparkling Magikarp gets you the most points, the cave one gets you the least. Moral of the story , get out there and shine, and don't be hidden away in a cave.... or something like that...
Plato's cave but in Pokemon Snap.
Always loved the fact you run this game and cover as much as you have on your channel. It's not a title that gets much highlight compared to others on TH-cam. Always learn at least one new thing from your Pokemon Snap vids.
You should do one of those videos on super smash bros. It was the 5th most sold game of the console and it's still seeing a lot of activity!
Definitely. I wish I knew more about Smash (never played it as a kid) but you are 100% correct. It would make for a good one.
I was in 3rd grade when Pokémon Snap came out... I NEVER bothered to look towards the right at the end of Volcano and noticed that little pond 😅
I love story time. I'll never forget first seeing this game. I was hanging out with a friend in like 5th grade, if I recall, and he talked his mom into taking us to Best Buy, where we picked up Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium. Was a good day.
I like this style of content goose it's nice and relaxing. MORE FIRESIDE CHATS!!!
It might be a while until I can do some fireside chats again, but I'm hoping to make more in due time!
Me, my brother and my mom used to compete with one another in Pokemon Snap when the game first came out. To think years later people around the world are doing it now. I still have my copy and I might take a crack at it some day
Goose please make more of these I love them
Omg this is the only Pokémon game I played as a child never knew what it was lol!! It crazy how you can remember whole days if they were great in your childhood. Got hives that day haha
16:13 I never knew you could get that close, only ever saw that event from afar
i love these videos man, thanks for making them
Interesting that the same person who claims to have all the highest scores never has any proof…
These are some of my favorite videos from you brother keep em coming 🤙
Love the n64 respect and discoveries and breakthroughs.
Thank you for making this, love this game
I don't speed run or even do competitive gaming like this bug really enjoy these videos goose, thanks
I got a copy of the game used at a yard sale. Many of the high scores on that game were close to the wr scores. There were several things I never figured out how to do as a kid.
No way this hasn't been thought of, but why not test removing the limit of the time between pictures? Spam a picture of a pokemon to get every single frame, to even see if you can get a higher score.
>Obscure and useless.
Right. So like 80% of my TH-cam subscription feed.
Let's do this.
I adore this channel.
More Pokémon snap content YESSS
Amazing video and amazing channel
Underrated!
Great video man I loved this
Flying Pikachu highest score is 8000...let me guess, Nillew got 8050?
Honestly, I have never heard of Stump and Flying Pikachu and it makes me want to bring out my N64 again
"See you idiot bastard" with that font in the bottom right of the screen is absolutley a reference to Cowboy Bebop. "See you space cowboy" is a very popular phrase
They fit Ekans and all of gen 1 in pokemon stadium. Even more on the second one.
What is this “Intendo 64” you speak of? And “Zubot?”
If I remember correctly you can get speed Pikachu to eat and dance. ... Not sure if that's correct though
dang I mustve been obsessed cuz I knew about all of these - except ekans - from playing as a kid.
I couldn’t get that obsessed with new snap tho I got a lot done there
Content doesn't get any comfier than this
Another small fact, even though the title game its says Pokemon Snap, if you take a good look on the game cart it still says Pokemon Snap 64.
Can someone get Nillew a Camera this shit ridiculous
There is a hidden Beedrill in the cave level. I triggered it once as a kid. Something to do with throwables and kakuna? Maybe Electrode too?
Honestly Nillew needs to prove the photos, he's always top 1 and never has any proof.
Oh friend, let me tell you…
I enjoyed this
as a 32 year old boomer i love ur vids
Pikachu riding Articuno sounds like an urban legend now? Heh, I knew it was possible in 1999, thanks to gaming magazines.
Hey thanks I’m actually very interested in this!
Speed Pikachu has a classic case of the zoomies. Or maybe one too many carbos
“See, you idiot Bastard” is now officially my slogan. Excellent!
"Wellington Marques" is secretly Todd Rogers
More goldenguy content please
GoldenEye next video
@@GamerFolklore Excuse me, sir. He said GoldenGUY.
Thank you. I'm just getting into this game.
12:08 PIKACHU has zoomies
Fun facted shinning gold and sould silver had an event flying pikachu that was the ballon pickachu along with surfing pikachu i have both i also have every gen 3 to 7 distribution carts i got them back when they were all dirt cheap i never paid more then 50$
Very cozy
Oh, snap! It's a new RWG video.
Welcome back!
I fucking love this game, thanks for this!
Please stop calling these “useless” facts! They are knowledge building, nostalgia filled pockets of joy. Thanks for bringing them to us!
💋 🍑
@@generalgk What's your problem?
Figuring out the maximum score for a magikarp shouldn't be particularly difficult for a TAS. Its just a matter of finding the best frame to bait it out of the water and the best frame to snap a picture.
Records without proof shouldn't even be on the leaderboards, that is a weird dynamic. Can I go there and claim that I have a 5000 Magikarp on Cave and my name will stay on top?
After I get through mario golf (as frustrating as a souls game)
It's time for mario tennis
more please :D
This was a fun watch while grilling pizza
