Hey it’s me Derek! Seriously, thanks for watching! I know I’ve been gone for a little bit and I wanted to come back BIG but the Zeebo was too big for just one video! Stay powerful! | Go to buyraycon.com/ssff for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
Edit: because of a copyright claim for Armageddon Squadron, I had to remove the music at 41:10. TH-cam has a new thing to remove music but keep the voice over, so the quality of the narration drops but it’s better than the whole segment being muted. Plus I don’t have to give most or all the ad revenue to someone else over 45 non-consecutive seconds of a 48 minute video.
Raycon? More like rayBAD.
Oh yeah feel the burn!! 🔥
I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video.
Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game .
A Game of Eggs/Um jogo de Ovos: It's a game based on the Mexican movie "A Movie of Eggs", as silly as it sounds it's actually a pretty good 2D platformer and even had a really fun cool multiplayer, I dreamed of seeing this game being re-released on WiiWare, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it never happened.
An honorable mention also goes to Zenonia, it's an excellent RPG and the Zeebo version was the only one that had a Portuguese translation, this game is (or was) available on the DSi Shop on the Nintendo DSi, eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Playstation Store on the PSP, PSVita and PS3 too, I recommend giving it a go, it's a great game.
seeing you play the console while it wobbled like that made me nervous XD
Hope whatever you had going on has resolved okay (as much as tough life stuff can).
Team Zeebo UNITE!
Comes back with a 50 minute video and APOLOGIZES for splitting it in 2. We are spoiled guys
The Jiangshi (Chinese hopping Vampire) have blue skin. As do a lot on Asian monsters. The blue enemies on the flip phone version were likely a way to make it clear that players were killing undead/supernatural monsters rather than people. Which would make the game more acceptable to play in public. It may even have something to do with censorship laws, especially if they wanted to release it in China.
Makes sense!
Just a small correction at 30:46, it is not that the PC has the full game (although it has). What the comment meant was that the RE4 PC version SOLD by Fullgames was cheaper. Fullgames was a monthly magazine in Brazil that always had a CD/DVD game with it, sold for like R$ 18,00 (something like US$ 4 or US$ 5). The magazine edition with Resident Evil was also released in 2009.
This needs to be higher up.
Seeing a non-Brazilian interact with the first time with the Rolimã concept was fun as hell! A rolimã is basically a board with bearings attached to it that you slide down the street on top of. I still fondly remember the day dad put one together and handed to me and my brother to play with.
i think the closest here would be soapbox derbys. always wanted to be in one but thats something only in hilly and mountain towns.
@@professorwizard8916most of the population in the southeast regions (where rolimã are the most popular) lives by the coast and it can be quite hilly.
@@professorwizard8916 Yup, similar concept. My dad used to love playing with his when he was a child, 50-something years ago.
Carrinho de Lomba 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
40:09 Derek plays so much Zeebo, he gets trapped in the system without realizing it.
I can’t believe a Zeebo game had copyrighted music lol
@@beanstalks1028 I was wondering why he fell in the well....
“I am become Zeebo, destroyer of fun.”
I thought my speaker broke.
I thought my headset switched to voice mode
It's kind of insane to think that for a while Zeebo had the best and most faithful ports of Quake 1 and 2 that any console has ever received, some modders have even found that the port is so close to the PC version that some mods are compatible with the Zeebo version.
Wow, I wonder how many other games had code ported like that on the Zeebo. Could be a good technique to build the library quicker.
@@ChrisLeeW00 They would have needed licenses for those releases, sadly.
How are u guys getting by????????😮😮😮😢😢 i❤you guys more than MOST gaming channels by far these days but I barely see ya!😢 everything ok?
so basically it's a straight port of the PC version. almost
Arcane dimensions running on the zeebo would be a sight to see
These skeletons ain’t ever gonna stop fighting
I sure hope not
They have bones to pick with each other.
I mean I'm pretty sure i killed every single one in skyrim once so....
Bars
FIGHT
FOR-EVER
👏🏽👏🏽
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm never gonna forget being a kid and almost falling in love with the Zeebo (Brazilian here).
Then I researched, read forums, talked to video game "enthusiasts", and realized it was way worse than my terrible PC at the time.
Gave up on it, went back to Counter-Strike 1.6 lol. Good times.
Good choice
I remember I almoooost got one when it was really dying and they made a big marketing push with a great price. I kind of regret it, and sometimes I think about getting a pre-hacked one just to suffer through its games.
@@joseagripino8664I'll probably try to find a hacked one.
Brazilian here. Just for the record: During the RE4 section, the comment about "Fullgames" is talking about a PC Games Magazine that was published monthly (if I recall correctly) and had a new game packed in with each edition. It was a Cheap way for us to play legal copies for an affordable price. I remember that many friends only had access to the OG Diablo because of that magazine.
that explains it, thank you for the info!
Ridge Racer kills the Zeebo console, literally. The game leaks data into the emmc memory, until it fills it and corrupts the data, compromising even the Zeebo OS and the Brew OS behind it.
Like a really bad implementation of swap storage? Damn. I'm surprised they didn't just put a cap on that so it doesn't overwrite used memory. It would make the game crash yes, but at least it wouldn't brick the console.
So not only could it have an even CLOSE port of a 1993 arcade game that was getting a near flawless port in 1995, it also kills the system. GOOD. GREAT.
Oh man, that comment about fullgames, unlocked some core memories to me. here in brazil, back in the time, we had a magazine called "fullgames" that came with a CD with, not surprisingly, a fullgame, usually old and/or lesser kown games, but i bought the issue with RE4, and probrally have the CD/DVD laying around somewhere. That a bit of brazilian gaming history
Yeah, and at the time Zeebo released, Fullgames had one issue that came with the first PC port of RE4 (the buggy, Ubisoft one), that cost something like R$15,00 IIRC (around US$5,00 at the time, and US$3,00 now).
So, basically, it was a much better deal to buy the magazine and get the game for PC than buy a Zeebo and get a bad port of RE4.
Acho que a fullgames quis deixar bem claro que era o jogo full pra não confundir com aquelas revistas de 2000 jogos em 1 que era um monte de jogo de MSDOS
Saber does legit have a cool design.
And to think, no one outside of Brazil ever knew about her. Until now.
Thank you for your service, Uncle Derek.
Feels like someone on the dev team's OC waifu.
tbh not many in Brazil knew about her until now, too lol
Just a small minority of brazilians knew about her character! talk about a underrated character
She reminds me of Miss Y from SOR4 if she dressed like her brother. Unless Saber was the inspiration for her...
Or Mexico since it was there too
I love the reference to "Zeebo fatigue" is if it's a globally recognized disorder and not a problem that has only ever happened to Derek specifically
As a Brazilian I can confirm everyone here had Zeebo fatigue at some point
I was a developer at Tectoy Digital from mid-2008 until its end in 2011 and witnessed the whole Zeebo weirdness from inside, really strange (but cool) days. As bizarre as it may seem now, much of those decisions made sense at the time (even when things got really weird, what we'll hopefully see in part 2). Others, to this day, still make me wonder what they were thinking (and by "they" I mean mostly Qualcomm and whoever approved that Ridge Racer port).
IIRC, from the point this video ends (late 2009) until the beginning of the end (late 2010) the quantity and quality of games increased significantly. So did the weirdness factor, as focus shifted from mostly sports / racing to educational games. There were some last-minute China-only educational games that I'm not sure they were even released (but that's some great material for the next video if they were).
bom relato mano, por que a TecToy não tenta lançar outro console próprio nos dias hoje? Eles tem feito alguns periféricos aqui e ali. Tem muitas possibilidades com os hardwares de Smartphones e os jogos mobile de hoje. Porém o custo logístico e de licenças não deve ajudar.
@@TiagoBullets Acho que a situação hoje é tão diferente que a própria ideia de um console próprio está perdendo o sentido, a não ser que o console em si seja único (como a Nintendo faz). Fora isso só com exclusivos excepcionais, e mesmo Sony e Microsoft têm dificuldade.
Man, The Zeebo, at least we tried 🇧🇷🇧🇷. I'm glad you were able to get every single game because god knows how you would get the games now, straight up vaporware or close to it now. Thats a piece of Brazilian Gaming History right there. You would definitely get a couple of free beers from me if you ever visit Rio de Janeiro
The optimism of this guy on his videos is just fun to watch.
I can see the passion and effort he puts on his videos.
Why are you staring so hard at the man's passion for...ya weirdo🤷🏾♂️
He's such a great gaming TH-camr! Fun fact, he got his start on the channel as The Happy Video Game Nerd, a counter to all the AVGN content. The videos are from 15 years ago so they've certainly aged a bit, however that optimism, passion and effort has always been on full display. Dude is like the puppy of gaming TH-cam, people may try to replace him, but nobody meets the genuine energy he has.
@@OmegaSMG Derek is love, Derek is life ❤
It’s a good contrast to how I learned of the zeebo.
I learned it from Yahtzee in his RE4 video where he called it a kitchen appliance.
Scott has Wii U, Caddi has PS1, Skeletons has Zeebo
And Matt Mcmuscles has Expect No Mercy
_I HAVE SEEN THE AMATEUR AND IT IS YOU_
No Scott has 12 Wii u's
@@TheBlackAbyss1 Just in case if he gets lasagna on one.
@@kitestar i was gonna say matt has the jaguar.
Notice that only Caddi's is good xD
@stopskeletonsfromfighting
I worked as an art director on one Zeebo game: Zeebo FC Super League, one of the last games developed before the console's well deserved demise. Please don't skip this one, looking forward to hear what you think of it!
Do you mind if I ask you how were games made for it? Did such a thing as a zeebo development kit exists?
@@SummonerArthur Zeebo games, as far as I know, were exclusively developed in the Zeebo Interactive Studio, where I worked as an art director. And afaik, there was no special hardware for development, but I might be misremembering. A Zeebo programmer would know more about it. If you're asking about software, also no. It was all developed from the ground up in Brew.
@@mmarcati gotcha! Thanks for the answer!✌️
Hopefully this will raise zeebo awareness and bring solace to those afflicted with it
At 5:00, most Brazilians actually call the game "soccer", because we're taught North-American English in our schools rather than British. So we also say "fries", "elevator" and "hood", instead of "chips", "lift" and "bonnet".
EDIT: As an added note, we call "American football” the one with the 🏈
Is that really true? I always thought Brazilians had fights over US people calling it Football, I can't testify about the British because not all countries in Latin America are the same.
É Futebol, eu não creio que vocês Brasileiros fala Inglês do US, mais eu soi um gringo... meu país fala Inglês no _inca-la-perra_ (UK).
@@fixedfunshow I can't speak for most of my compatriots, but me and my other English-speaking friends tend to call it football just because, well, your foot goes to the ball, so it makes more sense. And yeah, we're taught USA's English, but most end up not caring enough o learn it :/
@@pinkstinger I learned, kind of, English from Europe in school but I speak the US variant
@@fixedfunshow We really do learn US English. We called it Futebol (Football) on a daily basis, unless we are speaking (in English) with a foreigner, then we say Soccer.
As for calling US people out... we just like to be pricks. We really don't care that much, but it's funny to see people think we care. We prolong being obnoxious as much as we can... for everything, really... but in all honesty, we don't care.
@@LamunesADV Brazil is beautiful so I can't really say much, just go to my sea and you'll see why I'd rather live in Brazil. Viva all the luso-hispanic people.
Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi was gonna be on the Zeebo. If it can BARELY do a launch title PS1 game, IMAGINE the Zeebo trying to do the Dreamcast
The Zeebo would've erupted into flames
30:50 - I know you were probably just shortening it for time and stuff, but I think this really struck a memory with me. For those who don't know, Fullgames used to be a Brazilian magazine that, as the name advertises, gave out full, legit PC games (I actually don't know if they were LEGIT legit, but I recall buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R from one of their issues, and it came without any problems). Possibly the only exposure that many Brazilians had to legit PC gaming.
Fullgames me apresentou Roller Coaster Tycoon, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider.. muito mas muito jogo bom. Saudades 😢
Além da Fullgames, tinha a CD Expert, que oferecia um bom catálogo de jogos de PC a preços baixos.
They were legit, labelling them as a gift with the magazine made it so the company paid magazine taxes rather than game taxes, and used magazine distribution channels, so it was much cheaper to make, distribute and sell.
@@deabreu.tattooand I'm all for that.
@@deabreu.tattoothat’s genius
It's funny you mentioned how Saber from Double Dragon Zeebo looks and animates like someone from Guilty Gear or BlazBlue, two fighting games developed by Arc System Works.
And today, who was the developer for both Double Dragon 4 and both River City Girls games (which have ties to Double Dragon among other Kunioverse games?) That's right. Arc System Works!
They're all connected!
ASW owns the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun IP since 2015. They also made the Master System port of DD way back in 1988
ASW published the River City Girls games.
It was WayFoward who developed them, and I find it weird that you forgot that tidbid.
@@DrZuluGaming To be fair, most people only know WayForward for the Shantae franchise and that's it.
@@Falcovsleon21Didn't they do some ports or something that were honestly their highest profile work
@@1stCallipostle They did a lot of stuff that's noteworthy if you go through their backlog. But they've also done their fair share of games that were just jobs and Shantae is basically the franchise that they're the most known for. To the point that people just consider them 'the Shantae company.'
Audio quailty drops from 40:09 to 40:36. It drops again at 41:10 and is completely mute between 14:22. The audio quality remains reduced until roughly. 41:36. I guess the Zeebo was just too powerful for the copyright bots.
This system was apparently going to get a port of Sonic Adventure. It was canceled unfortunately, so we never got to experience Big's fishing on the Zeebo, and we never got to hear the Zeebo open its heart. We also never got another version to make fun of and call the actual worse version since it would've topped the already terrible PC version of the Xbox version of the Gamecube version of Sonic Adventure (we fix it using mods).
Same, thought it was just me
I have no idea if the audio quality drop during the Armageddon Squadron was intentional but that really fits the quality of that game.
Derek had to reprocess the audio due to a copyright claim from the Armageddon Squadron devs over the music.
@@ChicaneryBearImagine filing a copyright claim over a Zeebo game.
"There is no music in Quake on the Zeebo."
Me, who only ever played the shareware 3DS port: There's supposed to be *music?*
Brasil Mencionado, o verdadeiro penta foram os amigos que fizemos jogando Zeebo no caminho, obrigado tio Derek.

Zeebo representando o Brasil melhor que carnaval e futebol desde 2009.
Nessa hora todo mundo vira patriota.😂
I was 24 years old in 2009 when this thing came out in Mexico which is where I’ve lived all my life, I’ve been playing videogames since I can remember, and the first time I heard about the Zeebo was until Uncle Derek started talking about wanting to make a video about it. I cannot understate how much of a non-entity this console was over here. I don’t know a single person who knew this shit ever existed.
We had a Saturday morning tv show about Nintendo that broadcasted on a national over-the-air network that lasted 5 years throughout the 90s. We had an official Nintendo magazine for Mexico that lasted 30 years. We had Nintendos at home (and Xbox and PlayStation). Zeebo was for no one.
PS: amazing video as always, Derek and Co.!
Piracy was definitely a HUGE thing at the time, but we also were a decent market for regular full price games. On the cheap side, we had NES clones, PS1 clones, those 1000 games things, I even had one that used plastic discs with (I imagine) microscopic groves. I don't know for whom this was for.
41:23 the dogfighting was so intense his microphone went back in time to 2009
I think these Skeletons stopped fighting.
Also unrelated, but as a long time fan, just wanna say I'm really proud at how far you've come content wise. Happy Gaming Nerd is fun and still you, but being the opposite of AVGN kinda pigeonholed you a bit, like it's only mentioned on TH-cam as part of the AVGN era. Compare that to now, you have a unique and clear identity, editing style, writing style, everything. There isn't another TH-camr that's gonna scratch the itch for Uncle Derrick ranting about games. Thank you for the 15 years of great videos!
They managed to run Pacmania with full-screen tearing. That's amazing Namco nice work 😶
Finally, I've been waiting for this ever since this was teased in the original Zeebo retrospective. Keep up the great work Uncle Derrek! You guys deserve every amount of success that comes your way!
It's actually wild that the Zeebo was released as a budget console for around the same price as the PS2 was around that time
“Bimmy and Jimmy love playing their Zimbi” just might be the most fun thing to say in the history of spoken language.
One, welcome back Derek and Grace. It's great to have you both back. Two, can you guys get an Oscar for the best Raycon ad ever made? So bold. So evocative. So brilliant. 😌👌
That Double Dragon exclusive boss really reminds me from Streets of Rage 4's Miss Y boss. The color palette and event main weapon being a sword in a beat em up game, so odd that they are too much alike
Tip: "Rolimã" is pronounced similar to holy mann, it is the name of a "cart" made of wood using bearings as wheels, "rolimã" in Portuguese is one of the synonyms for "bearing". These wooden carts are like a skateboard that you sit on, but the front axle is only held by a frame in the middle, so you place your feet close to the ends of this front axle, and use it to control the direction, while the car runs downhill.
I remember back in the day the website for the Zeebo used to show upcoming games and Sonic Adventure was listed was one of the games. It made all the sense back then, Sega and Tectoy had been long time partners, but it never came to be.
it would likely look like crap and would look nothing like the Sega Dreamcast original lol
@@MrDmoney156 Oh yeah, definitely. Maybe it would look more like a Saturn game, which would be interesting in its own right
The thing that's so weird to me about the Zeebo is that I look at a lot of the games and think "idk, these don't look that bad?" and then you remind me that it was 2009-2010, not 1998
Most releases in '98 were honestly still cleaner.
Most of these would feel right on something like the Jaguar, equally not great in it's time
I’m just glad people are passionate about near-lost media, and video games in general. You are a great channel for the preservation of games and., much respect for u for your work in capturing and preserving this footage and gameplay, and…. Yeah man thank you for your fun commentary as well! Much love from Philadelphia!!!
I NEED more Zeebocore music.
I love how you guys manage to always make your videos really informative and interesting while also never dropping your signature lighthearted and optimistic vibes - it's something I think TH-cam (and the internet in general really) could always use more of. Your genuine enthusiasm for the topics you cover is infectious and never ceases to make me smile.
Can't wait for part two! ♥
look up bad midis on the internet
Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites MIDI version, famous from Vinesauce Joel's infamous Windows Destruction videos.
Stop adding ‘core’ to everything. It doesn’t make you cool.
That thumbnail is the funniest thing I've laughed at in a while 😂😂 crunch-a-tize me capt'n!
The Zeebo certainly caught the attention of players here in Brazil at the time. Maybe not for the right reasons, but that's just a detail.
I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video.
Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game .

Zenonia was a pretty good RPG, I have on my old 3DS.
Hey, nice to see you here!
Zenonia was designed for and released on Android first, then iOS, then the other formats.
It was like a big thing that an RPG of that scope was made for android.
@@krzbrew Yeah, whenever I see someone commenting on Zeebo I can't resist and come check it out. xD
It's been a bit, but Derek and Grace clearly haven't lost their special sauce 💙
Mexican gamer here. 36 years old, never heard of it until uncle Derek talked about it.
VAAAAAAI BRASIIIIIIL!!!!
Welcome back Derek :D
We missed you, so glad you're back!
Never in my life did I i think I'd be hype at the idea of playing a Zeebo game, but Double Dragon Zeebo got me cravin'
Saber is goddamn metal. I'd love to see her show up in a future release.
30:48 it actually says "the PC version is cheaper in Fullgames"
Fullgames was a magazine that "gave away" full PC games as a "gift". It was actually a way to tumble through the tax system and sell games paying magazine taxes. They were a mainstream trend in the early 2000s, after the demo-filled CD gifts in PC magazines of the late 90s.
I remember there being at least 2 "full game magazines" at the time, Fullgames and Big Max. I still have my copy of Alone in the Dark 2 from Big Max hahaha
I'm brazilian and wanted to say about that "Extreme Roll Man" game... "Rolimã" is supposed to be that kart the character was ridding ... It was very common in the 80s and early 90s for a dad to actually build those simple "karts" with some tools and cheap plywood for their kids to go down a slope in the streets or in parks... it's not as common today but if you look for "carrinho de rolimã" on google you're gonna see there's still karts being made and sold
Fun fact! FullGames was a magazine which you could get an original PC game on the cheap... And this is how I got into Assassin's Creed!
I still hold on to my fully localized Roller Coaster Tycoon copy from Fullgames. It was bonkers! I remember seeing Driver: Parallel Lines on it after a few years. Should have grabbed a copy.
@StopSkeletonsFromFighting , "Rolimã" is Portuguese for "Ball bearing". In that case, it means a traditional Brazilian Gravity Racer that has ball bearings instead of wheels
Such a good episode. Perfect blend of goofy uncle Derek, hot trash enjoyable games and legitimate video game history. Cant wait for the next one
Actually there are masterpieces released on the Zeebo yet people can't get them so easily
Namco securing the Zeebo market before Sega could even blink. Imagine if Daytona USA could compete against the sheer excitement of Ridge Racer on the Zeebo.
Its always a blast watching you go through all these weird games on punching weight, and this video was no exception, fantastic job. As someone who is passionate about game preservation, even for terrible games, the existence of this video is great, especially when videos like this lead to the discovery of hidden gems like Zeebo double dragon. You know how sometimes, when companies make game collections, they'll throw in a weird bonus game, like Kid Dracula in the Castlevania collection? Maybe if they ever make a Double Dragon collection, they'll include Zeebo Dragon as a bonus. Probably not, but I can dream
Honest, your videos never fail to make me smile. Seeing Derek's contagious energy, as well as the great work of producer Grace (and I adore the videos she narrates!), it genuinely makes my day better.
I hope you have been taking care of yourselves and continue to do so. 💗
Doesn't matter if I gotta wait 2 months or 2 years. A SSFF video is ALWAYS worth the wait!
Missed opportunity: You should have called it this segment "Dead Weight"
Wow, all Zeebo games. Now that is something you don't see a lot on TH-cam.
Love it!
WHOA! I was not expecting such a big return, glad to see ya guys!
What's the LD50 for soy?
I missed you and would have been hyped for anything! The fact that it’s a mega-Zeebo-blow out is a bonus! I really hope everything’s going better now! Take care of yourself!
Super informative on a very rare area of gaming history! Got quite a few solid laughs too 😂 Don't over-stress yourselves, but I'm loving the new SSFF content 💖
0:46 The Intellivision Amico: Allow me to introduce myself!
You said tumultuous life events, I hadn’t heard anything from Grace all video, I got stressed. It was nice to hear from her 30 seconds later and ease my stress. Hope you guys are ok!
A Punching Weight and Delisted crossover episode? Hell yeah, just what the week needed!
Please look at the band belushi speed ball. They've released albums on n64, gba, and snes carts. All of which work in their respective consoles. While you couldn't build a whope episode of punching weight around them, it could make for an interesting inclusion in a grab bag episode
This sounds awesome. Bumping.
Anamanaguchi has also released albums as nes carts!
Thanks for the new episode! My day always gets brighter when I see a SSFF video light up on my subscription feed.
Recently I had my own kinda SSFF experience when I got an Oculus Quest 2. One of the first things I wanted to do with it wasn't even to play VR-only games. It was to experience Final Fantasy 14 with VR. Which is an unofficial/unsupported fan mod. It was a bit of a challenge to get it working, but the payoff was worth it. Let me tell you; if you've been playing an MMO for this long, it's a whole new world when you experience it at ground level from character POV. Especially in 14 where there's some downright GORGEOUS locales. I just wish I didn't get motion sick after about 10-15 minutes of it.
Regardless, when I got it working I thought to myself "Uncle Derek would be proud" :P
I'm Brazilian and the first time i see Zeebo was in your channel.
Love the video, great stuff as usual! The Zeebo's history and game library is so ridiculous, I love when you cover it!
PS: I almost never comment on videos but I don't use Twitter or really any social media anymore so I just wanted to comment on here to say that I appreciate you and Grace and I'm always happy to see when you guys have a new video out! Keep on keeping on.
Finally , the Zeebospective continues
Uncle Derek... This has been a really rough week. I cannot overstate how awesome it is to get a new SSFF at the perfect time-- ten times more when it's all Zeebo.
Thank you for the great content!!
Zeebo Core (The clown car Dumpster music) its a master piece and don't you forget it!
Thank you, Uncle Derek, not only for a new video but for a new Double Dragon waifu!
You KNOW we all in for a multi-video Zeebo event!
37:30 Rolimã is the brazilian name for soapbox car, but the car is a plank in 4 wheels. It was one of the most popular child's play back on Brazil, before the internet age and criminal rating increases took all of the kids off the streets in early 2010's
As a Brazilian and a (not so) proud Zeebo owner, THANK YOU for all your Zeebo videos!
Zeebo made the whole South America look like they're were living 20 years behind the rest of the world.
Well had the Intellivison Amico ever released that would have made the US look like it was 30 years behind. 😂
And they are.
The world caught up with the Zeebo with the release of Ouya.
Nothing puts a smile on my face like a new Stop Skeletons From Fighting video, the Zeebo continues to be a goldmine for the fascinating garbo space.
Zeebo time baby!!! Love the work you folks do, glad to have y'all back
I've rewatched this about three times now and that jab at OceanGate catches me off-guard every time.
When you thought it was over. Zeebo returned
And heck, there are people still like this system!
420
Man this is a fun watch, looking forward to part 2 whenever that drops, keep up the good work Derek and Grace, you are the best at what you do. 👍
Loved this video!! I just saw an article today, talking about how a zeebo emulator is currently in development from the ground up! It'll be great for more and more fans to experience zeebo games.
The zeebo is the best way to encourage piracy in Brazil
The language barrier is a thing that we Brazilians are used to. The big devs historically refused to translate games to portuguese, even to the european portuguese. As a kid i tried to play games without understand anything, that forced me to learn a little bit of english, it's a good thing at least, and i'm still learning to this day 😂
OOH I only just saw this in my feed but I have been WAITING for this video!
I've been having a rough time with my mental health lately but now I'm looking forward to sitting down and watching this later and that's really cheered me up today. Thanks Derek for always making videos that get me through hard days
Thank you for all the amazing content SSFF! Yes MORE Zeebo! I had never heard of the Zeebo before until I saw your videos, so excited to see more games and learn more about it. Fascinating little console!
you had me at "Sometimes Life Sucks."
Subscribed!
Holy crap I said the words at 26:42! Look ma I'm famous!
Glad to see ya back Derek! Can’t believe how fun that Quake port looks. What a wild console
Aw yeah. This is just the kind of video I needed, so I can watch it while I exercise. Thanks, Derek! Thanks, Producer Grace!
Bro three months? cause you moved or what hahaha
he's been pulling this for like a year and a half. Disappearing acts, while collecting patreon money the entire time....
@@85wastedyears was so funny when he claimed it was because he moved. Like bro we've all moved too and we took maybe one day off work for it.
lol right? @@Cueya
FIRST VIDEO ON TH-cam TO GET OVER A ZEEBOLLION VIEWS #DEREKSWEEP
Shit day, shit week, shit world, shit life. But hey, there's a new SSFF video out, and that's something to appreciate.
I think I might have figured out why the ganados in RE4 Mobile/Zeebo are blue. In Japanese, the words "blue" & "Brew", when spoken in their English forms, should both use the same exact katakana "ブルー/Buruu". Therefore, it's entirely possible that Capcom made the enemies in RE4 Mobile/Zeebo blue simply because the dev staff likely thought it'd make for a funny visual pun that only works in Japanese!
Most likely, to keep the game PG13 (or whatever equivalent in Japan) i.e. not to include realistic people that you kill.
Yeeeeaaahhh. . . Definitely not
@@krzbrew Sure, but Capcom could have made them any color in that regard, like green (which is the usual alternate color for stuff like blood, including some other RE games). That's why I said that it's "possible" that the decision to go with blue was an inside joke from the dev team. Green "zombies" aren't exactly unheard of in games, but the decision to go with blue is too out of left field to be just a random choice.
Erm.. this this a dog whistle?
How so?
