I think the coolest part of this entire video was learning that Dust Man was designed by Yuusuke Murata when he was 12 years old!
He would later become an apprentice to one of my (if not #1) favorite manga artists of all time, Takeshi Obata (Death Note, Bakuman), and he'd become the illustrator of one of my favorite manga of all time Eyeshield 21. I didn't even realize he was drawing One Punch Man since I fell out of the manga fandom in recent years, but damn, now I respect it even more. If it wasn't for these contest prizes, we would never have learned this history!
My jaw dropped when I found out the author of One Punch Man made Dust Man lol
William Proto Murata doesn’t do the writing for One punch man he only illustrates
I also think he created the design for crystal man in mega man 5 making him the only person to win more than one robot master contest if I'm not mistaken
The one punch man artist has an extremely rare mega man cart and designed dust man, you learn something new everyday.
Brig.Badger lol all the owners of the carts were manga artist or game designers lol
I hope that Dust Man appears in the backround in one of the episodes in One Punch Man
Jasmine The Dog one day or maybe even his own anime ft all the other mega man bosses
Brig.Badger he also design Crystal Man in the next game as well.
Now I want to see Dust Man beat up Crystal Man.
i will call all the 8 winners the 8 golden robot masters
thesnivyproductions119 any luck?

Theone max i see what you did there
Product won't sell? Raise the price!! That'll bring in buyers!
Logic.
True, but it's a one of a kind item.
ace dixon
*Eight of a kind
you're talking about the country that gave us porns to satisfy fetishes they had to invent first.
censored porn**
I get the feeling they don't actually want to sell it; it would remove novelty of them having it.
Amazing story. For the love of goodness, the darn illustrator from one of my favorite anime/manga ever HAS IT. That is just... Aweing.
Super Potato.
The *best* name for any shop.
Yes they are the potato gods
I think they had a contest like that for Mega Man 5. There was a Swedish guy who won and got his character in the game. Best part?, Mega Man 5 was never released in Sweden :D .
Yes you are correct but dang that is sad and funny he never saw his character in the game unless he got a cartridge
R.I.P
@@valkyriesprites420gtx3 He probably did since they can't go back on the contest rule, so he's probably one of the few swedens who got to play Megaman 5.
They had a contest up till Megaman & Bass because I remember Hitoshi Ariga submitted designers for Dynamo Man and I believe Burner Man.
You sure that wasn't for Mega Man 6? From what I heard, the contest was for literally every game but the first, but the only one of them to have any winners outside of Japan was in Mega Man 6, which is actually why it got published in North America (Nintendo of America published it because of this).
I wouldn't sell that MegaMan cart for a klondike bar.
Best comment
I love these limited edition cartridges and prizes- it’s really interesting when you know exactly how many are out there, and then tracking them down becomes the hard part.
Murata winning a contest for designing a megaman robot master? bruh he probably destroyed the competition because his art is godly
He was 12!
NANI
He also made Street Fighter fanart, seems that he's a big Capcom fan
Of course Yuusuke Murata would be the one who designed Dust Man. Kidding but pretty cool he was one of the winners. On that note, going off the original quality of illustration in the first version of the One Punch Man manga, I wonder what his Dust Man concept looked like...
Biotear The original One Punch Man isn't illustrated by Murata. The illustrations were done by the creator ONE.
TheTdbj oh I thought that was ONE's actual name for some reason my bad
An artist going right from drawing OPM webcomic to OPM manga would be like a kid who just learned to play twinkle twinkle little star on piano playing flight of the bumblebee the next day. I love ONE's stories, just his drawing might as well be macaroni art compared to Murata.
whole shit I'm suprised he actually got back to your response, Good job man.
Im practically in love with your content, lost stuff is my favorite and I’ve been bingeing your videos for like an hour and a half now, I can’t stop!
Wow, thank you!
LSuperSonicQ your welcome, have a nice day! I look forward to any new content you make!
Wait so this means that the artist for One Punch Man's official manga designed a mega man character? woah :o
Actually two of them. In the official artbook for the 25th anniversary of Mega Man, there is a short contribute by him where he states that he created not only Dust Man for the Mega Man 4 contest, but he also designed Crystal Man one year later for Mega Man 5.
Wow that's awesome! It's kinda crazy to think what some famous manga artists and authors have done before their current works xD
Those illustrations probably are more valuable than the Megaman cartridge itself.
Wow! I would never imagine that Yusuke Murata had his part in writing Megaman history! If it's possible to dig deeper in the japanese part of the internet, it might be possible to maybe find out that some of the other winners were also manga artists who never reached fame, but have some published work on the internet.
I believe there is one on display in the basement market of Yongsan in Seoul. It was on loan and not for sale but I believe it's not one of the 4 you mentioned in this video
Oh that's interesting. I've never heard of that before.
Buy normal cart. Paint it gold. Raise price 100x.
Jeff Cox hmmmm
My art savvy wife is gonna make one for me to go alongside my gold nwc replica and my dkc competition cartridge replica
I immediately remembered that Game Center CX episode and was so happy you put the clip in.
Super Potato indeed made the video demonstrating that it is numbered inside. I remember seeing that video on NicoNico Somewhere around 2015 , can't find the link though.
Real interesting to see this type of lost media: media that exists but is not totally accounted for
Yeah this thing happens quite a bit in different collecting scenes. It is really interesting to look into though.
Super Potato is the best name for a shop
Even better than Hard-Off?
That's some deep sentimental value.
Since Enomoto has the manual and the box, it very easily surpasses the price of the loose cart Super Potato is selling.
Longtime LSSQ viewer, been watching all your videos since 2017! Two years after this video came out, I was finally able to visit Super Potato when I was in Japan for an internship last year. Didn't see the Rockman 4 cart as I was in the original location in Akihabara, Tokyo (and if I interpreted this video correctly, the cart is currently at a different location in Osaka) but it's cool to come back to this video, think "I was there" while watching the Game Center CX clips, and remember the things I bought!
This is one of the coolest comments I've ever gotten, someday I hope I can visit that Super Potato as well!
Amazing video!!! I can’t tell you how much I love your channel. I’m a huge fan of cartoons and video games and I’ve always been fascinated with lost media and merchandise. I’m so happy to see a channel like yours that does some serious research into the topic. Have you ever heard of the cancelled phineas and ferb movie? I remember reading an article when it was first announced that said it was being developed by the same people who produced the recent muppets movies but I don’t remember what site that was. I wonder if that would make a good video topic, I know I would love to see it.
Getting One punch man illustrator Yuusuke to answer a question for part of a mystery? sounds like a dream.
Keep it up LSuperSonicQ
I have heard a bit about this illusive Cartridge. One of the rumors I heard was that there were actually up to 40 of them produced, although only 8 were ever given out... Those would be to the contest winners.
Awesome episode, great work as always super sleuth!
I always love hearing about these rare games of urban legend!
i love these videos man!!! keep it up!
There is a possibility I noticed went untouched- what if one of the winners worked/works at or has connections to Super Potato? They put their copy in Super Potato at an alarmingly high price as a marketing strategy that failed until it was reported on. It's also possible it wasnt in their stock for years and they knew ahead of time somehow about it and placed it in order to drum up publicity, possibly in preparation for their store change. This would mean you could find the original owner by looking at Super Potato's connections.
"That thing is so expensive, where are you gonna find anyone rich enough to buy it?"
I have a good piece of lost things you should look into...
My packet of Pizza Shapes
I was at school and I couldnt find them :p
Tem There's a long-standing urban legend that they ended up in Randy Beeman's desk. I've contacted Randy Beeman, but I've yet to get a response from him. I can't rule out the possibility just yet that the elusive pizzas have changed hands since then. Here's hoping Randy Beeman's the lead we've been looking for.
Greatest Megaman game ever.
I found info of the creator of Drill Man!
He’s some movie actor, he might be the guy who sold his.
This is a very cool and interesting video keep up the great work!
Imagine finding this cartridge at a garage sale for only 5$,
Sadly many parents and non-video game enthusiast don't realize that most of the games they're selling are rare and may worth a ton of money nowadays.
ZedX99 most of the games they‘re selling aren‘t rare though. Otherwise they wouldn‘t be rare...
Syl Joly Just sayin' :/
Syl Joly You're right.
Guess I made a mistake in my comment, what I meant is "some", yeah sure most people sell cheap shovelware crap that you can find at your nearest 7/11.
But I can't help but to feel bad for some clueless people who sold some rare video game stuff for a really cheap price like (old NES games, Atari cartridges,really old systems , etc)
ZedX99 I‘m sure a lot of people regret some games they sold or simply threw away a few years ago, especially those that sell now for high prices. But the truth is, nowadays a lot of expensive games aren‘t even rare, but simply highly desirable.
hey LSuperSonicQ when i was look up for some lost media i come up with one called little einsteins little einstein pilot preview 2003/04 and on november 18 2016 a youtuber by the name other files upload a video called little einsteins 2004/05 little einstein teaster so this mean that the show little einsteins have three pilot one was for 2003/04 the other have the finale style but with the same clothes from the pilot and the other pilot was from 2004/05 so what do you think?
I am a huge GameCenter CX fan and I remember back in like 2010, or 11 watching that episode that showcased the golden rockman 4 cartridge! I could only dream of ever owning that.
I'm surprised a lot of people didn't know that most of these bosses were designed in contests.
damn man A famicom cart which is super expensive
TheKHfan358over3d Gee, what else is new?
My grandparents used to own Air Raid, But they sold it in 1998
Air Raid?
Yeah, The Ultra Rare Atari Game
Yeah suuuuuure
How did I not know this existed? Great watch
Well, at least we know 4/8 carts are in good hands
Interesting! I've never heard about this! Really cool.
I wish I had that, great video
Awesome video! Subbed
Personally, I would be more interested in the 1991 Tokyo Game Show ROM of Rockman 4 than a gold cartridge, but this is also neat.
Love this channel
1:15 mega man drawing contest?
That sounds bad...
We all remember that copcam love picking those losing pictures.
They conducted said drawing contest for every single Mega Man game after the first one.
KinnikuBusted
Not sure.
I'm no mega man expert but I do know he doesn't hold a gun xD.
Osaka local here. I actually went today to see if it’s still there and funnily enough it is. Though it’s not for sale anymore. It’s become the stores little curio.
Ah yes, ROCKman, because when I think of Megaman, I think of fucking ROCKS.
Just spray paint a 10 dollar cart lol
What a amazing video!
Speaking of Mega Man-related stuff, I have a personal desire to see something else about Mega Man 4; namely, its prototype. It was shown in Tokyo Game Show 1991, and the four stages shown off, which are Bright Man's, Pharaoh Man's, Ring Man's, and Toad Man's, have alterations ranging from minor graphics tweaks and music to completely different areas for Pharaoh Man's stage and Ring Man's stage to a cut Sphinx miniboss in Pharaoh Man's stage. The day may come where it is leaked or given out as a prize for a contest.
Wow that's interesting, I've never heard of this cart until watching this video.
Those bosses where SO BLOODY DIFFICULT!
It would be cool if they all did a cart reunion at super potato and confirm their serial numbers in private with each other.
Oh wow, I actually live about a 30 minute train ride from Osaka, I go to Super Potato every few weeks or so to check what they have. Was thinking about going to the Akihabara location in a few weeks (I'll be in Tokyo anyways, and it's one of my favorite stores because of all the cool gaming stuff). If the cartridge is still there, I'll take some pictures. Someone reply to my comment so that I can remember to upload them, or break the news that it's been sold. So cool to be so close to one of the items in these videos!
hello!
Still there?
The Yuusuke Murata part had me SHOOKETH
I was there in December before closing and got to see it.
Great. Now I want to get the Legacy Collection lol
Im betting all of my marbles that the superpotato cart is the toadman cart
More gaming mysteries!
Super Potato is the best name for a shop btw
0:22 I own the 24k Gold Game Boy Advance
I heard Sega held a character design contest and the winner got a Kekcroc golden cartridge
Another thing I never knew existed until now.
KACHO ON!!!
I can't remember which game it is but I am 100% sure the Mandarake in Nakano has a golden Megaman cart. I also know that there is a golden Megaman 4 cart in the Mandarake in Akihabara, on the 7th floor (which is currently priced at "not for sale"). Source: I have seen both with my own eyes within the last year, but it may be possible that it is the same cart simply being moved between the two stores.
Hey have you ever heared about the Mario Golf 64 Version of Japan that added Metal Mario to the Japanese Version but only a few or only 1 was produced and was given out to a winner of a Contest
lmao, the virtual boy in the video is still there
This vaguely reminds me of that punchout cartridge's in Japan being rare. IDK remember much for being a long time ago reading it.
Gold Punch-Out, many more copies of those exist.
Interesting video
Obviously the collectors haven't jumped on this much yet, $6000 is fairly cheap considering only 8 copies exist in the world.
I dont even play Mega Man much but one day I will get this cart and show you all (dont count on that, lol)
If I had the rocky 4 cartridge, I would definitely keep it. Unfortunately, I don't read Japanese.
The Litten Guy I wouldn't be surprised if the text is English, at least for the important parts.
i play japanese rom of Rockman 4 once,the only text in english is the master robot names and the weapon menu ,the rest is in japanese,you can play just like a megaman game
How to make it:
Take off the sticker.
Spray Paint cart gold.
Reapply the sticker.
These things are beyond rare!
But if we collect all of the carts, will Shenron revive Megaman?
I bet the guy who made Toad Man sold his cart. I mean have you looked at that thing? It's hideous!
The store is called *SUPER POTATO* 😂😂😂😂
I'd buy it as investment and resell it in like 10-20 years time
I wonder if there will ever be a family heirloom that is a golden Mega Man cartridge XD
supersmilyface1 SSF1 Our generation is gonna make the weirdest and most awesome grandparents for just that very reason XD
This is like Greed Island from Hunter x Hunter IRL.
I think Pokémon needed to do this when artist block hit for mega flygon
Do you know about the obscure cartoon network series Toonheads? The entire first season is lost.
sound interesing
+CGG CGG sounds*
not as tempting as a 1913 liberty nickle but still pretty tempting.
Seen a few on eBay .JP over the years. Maybe 3 of em. There have been a few YT vids on this. You can still find a super potato video with it in the store
Do a video on Nerf's cancelled blasters
Wait if there really was a code number inside the cart wouldn't people be able to identify the one at SuperPotato
Without this contest, we could have death note or one punch man
Road to el dorado: Rockman 4 edition
That old thing? I have ten.
I was joking! :) You know, parodying these people who claim to own it without doing any research to make it believable. I really only have three.
I have 510 I spent 9$ on all of them found them in a old house along with a bubble hat from spongebob
Audial Architect Got them from your uncle who works for Capcom?
I have 45, I got it from that uncle who works at Sega,I can't show it because Megaman broke into my house and now I'm at gunpoint and if I show the Cartridges then megaman would shoot me
@@TankEngine75 That is a very mean thing of Megaman to do.
welp now i need this
Hey! There is some ice cream bars that are kinda lost.
One is a chunky finster one and a Danny phantom one. I didn’t think about it until I saw a video about the sonic ice cream bars. I know you can’t really count ice cream as lost media but it’s kinda lost
Do a video on the July 2004 Little Einsteins Pilot
say please
Why? I didn't even think you were gonna say that. I don't see anyone else asking people to say please
vvmax Please say please. There I’m somebody. Happy now? Lol
Please
Now my question is: were the cardtriges only golden in color, or were they actually made of gold?
I imagine they were only gold in colour, although I couldn't say for sure
appears to be gold in color, as these look like they are designed to be used like a regular cartage
Would an actual gold cartridge even work? Doesn’t sound real to me, probably painted gold or made out of a gold colored plastic or whatever they use to make cartridges.
As long as the inside of the cartrige is the same as a regular one, I dont think the material used for the outside would matter that much, there's been golden consoles, so I don´t think its impossible.
piluex2 Fair enough. I've never actually heard of golden consoles, but that's actually really interesting. I still do seriously doubt that they were real gold though, even if it still would be playable
So confused as to why there aren't better counterfeits around. With the right equipment, you could produce a copy that even Nintendo would claim is their own for around $200. Same thing with golden NES games. The parts and boards for old cartridges are dirt cheap.
why because there's respect for these things
@@WednesdayMan Evidently not considering there are in fact a lot of fakes. Just not well done ones.
