Am i misremembering there being a puzzle game where you had to guide a spinning baton thing through levels via motion controls on the GBA? I know there's a game like that on the GBA, i just thought it had motion controls, but maybe not...? And i can't remember the name either...
I'm genuinely sad that WW Twisted never got rereleased on anything. It's soooo good. And the subtle integration of rumble was absolutely perfect. To this day, it may well be the single best implementation of motion controls in any game, ever.
My only guess as to why it was renamed Yoshi's Universal Gravitation is that in the UK you could describe someone as being "topsy turvy", basically being drunk. But I don't think "Universal Gravitation" was a good replacement.
Or the actual reason is that they just kept the Japanese name, and it's a reference to Newton's law of universal gravitation. I didn't know that second bit until 30 seconds ago.
I feel like NOW is the time for a Tilt 'n' Tumble remake or sequel. I'm not even a huge fan of the game, but the Switch is perfect for it! Plus it could still work in docked or portable mode, and it'd be a great title for the Switch Lite.
As odd as it sounds, it's true, and it's also a compliment of sorts. Nintendo are a company of innovation; they're always trying to do new things that keep them unique. If something works, they constantly tweak it to make it the best it can be. However, this can also be said of their failures. They are able to learn from their mistakes and make necessary changes in order to give consumers a better product either in the long run or the next generation. They're persistent. I will admit though, that they aren't willing to do this with everything. Take the Switch's online service for example. It doesn't work nearly as well as it should, and they get plenty of criticism regarding it, yet they seem to have no intentions of fixing it. So, while they do a lot of things right, including a lot of things they initially get wrong, they still have their fair share of actual failures as well.
I hate them because its obvious that they dont actually play the game and there just following a script on what to say about the game. I get that bills have to be paid but it doesnt make it any less cringe worthy

@stopskeletonsfromfighting I regularly enjoy all the DS Guitar Hero games... Also band hero. Just wanted to be the other end of the spectrum on these games. I love em........ Especially on a speaker in my gamepack. I'm 33 and lived through guitar heros glory days
@@doomdoomerson6524 Not the other end. I, too, thought it was a blast to play. It was Guitar Hero the way it was meant to be played. Not with some stupid smartphone app, but with an even more stupid plastic peripheral
Warioware Gold is a good "End of Life" 3DS game. It's a "best of" compilation of the rest of the series, with most of the included microgames being a remastered/redrawn version of microgames from all the games in the series, but primarily from the first 3 Warioware games.
I'm sure this is going to sound damning with faint praise, but WarioWare Twisted is probably still my favorite motion controlled game ever. What a freaking gem of a game.
"Yoshi's Universal Gravitation" makes it sound like Yoshi literally became God and is wreaking havoc among the universe by throwing people into the air and playing pool with the planets.
8:30 OMG! I always thought the kid at school that showed me Topsy Turvey was BS’ing me, and he was just using the DPad and hiding it. As i couldn’t do it. This was years ago in the uk. Youve answered a lifelong question, man that took me back, nostalgia! Lol. Cheers man :-)
You know what's amazing about these GBA tilt games that allow you to calibrate them? The fact that you can play them on DS, with a backlight *and* a headphone jack *while* charging.
WarioWare Twisted wasn't released in Europe, so I actually had to import it. I looked for a US copy but couldn't find one but I found the Japanese version for a good price. Let me tell you, playing WarioWare without being able to read makes it pretty awkward but the game is still so good
I never found that weird, it's kind of sad Nintendo killed my favorite handheld of all time off so fast, just imagine the possibilities of all the games that could've been made.
I have really fond memories of Warioware Twisted. I convinced my grandmother to buy it for me and got so excited about going to get it the next day that I could barely sleep. We were going on a road trip the day after getting the game. That's when I found out that motion control and cars don't mix very well. I remember still trying to play it but taking big turns in the car would mess me up occasionally. Good times.
Literally yesterday I was talking to a customer who wanted to get Tilt n Tumble and was literally like wait it doesn’t say Color on it, I thought it was an original compatible game, popped it in a GB Pocket, it turned on, I’m like yeah see and then the screen that tells you you can’t play it comes up. Why does it fit? Why did they mold it that way? Why doesn’t it say Color? And he may very well have watched this the minute it came out, but if he did he never mentioned it. In conclusion, I got clowned, son.
Back when I was still collecting like crazy, these weird GB(A) cartridges were my absolute favourites. Wario Ware Twisted being my favourite among them. Boktai 1 / 2 / (Japan exclusive) 3 (solar sensor cartridges for vampire hunting isometric stealth games, talka bout awesome) a very close second. Drilldozer (GBA game with a uniue rumble cartridge) was awesome as well. And on GBC my favourite has to be Perfect Dark. Together with Alone in the Dark (standard GBC cartridge), that game amazed me the most when GBC was my only system.
You are the first one I know, who talks about that Yoshi game. I have really fond memories of that one :3 Too bad you didn't like it as much. Also, I swear the name was Yoshi Tilt 'n Go here in EU. Now I am doubting myself... I sadly lost the cartridge due to my mom at the time :s
Kirby Tilt N Tumble is not the only GBC game that can fit inside of an old GB console. Top Gear Pocket for GBC also had that little notch and it gave me a similar message when I tried to play it on my original Gameboy.
I don’t understand why no one thinks Yoshi’s universal gravitation is funny. IMAGINE A 6 YEAR OLD TELLING HIS FRIENDS THAT HE LOVES UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION! It’s such a long phrase, it feels so weird
I remember renting Tilt n Tumble forever ago and thought it was the most revolutionary thing ever and was said because I never saw it on store shelves Warioware Twisted was one of my most fav games on GBA. Playing it in the Gameboy Player was hilarious
In Finnbro 's video about 10 GBA homebrew games, he explained there was a motion sensor accesory for GBA named GBAccelerometer. It's only used by some homebrew games (the video only mentions Hazard Ball demo, I can't find any other). It's not official, was barely used, but as a curiosity is cool.
2:50 Don't know if they count, but GBC-only-games with rumble features like the GBC version of Perfect Dark had clear cases with the same model as rumble cartridges that are playable on the original GB, like Pokemon Pinball. That means, that GBC exclusive games with rumble features also have these notches in their cartridges.
That is something else we noticed researching for this video - all GBC Rumble games have notches for a brick game boy but only Pokemon Pinball and a golf game by Natsume can actually play on one. It's weird!
I remember when Diddy Kong Pilot was a thing. I was certainly excited for it, and I never knew it was supposed to have motion controls, or that there were actually prototypes available. Not sure how easy they are to get though.
I really like Yoshi Topsy Turvy actually! I had a lot of fun with it and actually 100% completed it, but one of the later stages was absolute hell to 100% and I don't recommend trying, took a good two days playing only that stage to manage it,,
If I recall correctly, some Kirby games had a habit of appearing in the later stages of a console or handheld's life span. I don't know if that's still true, but I remember Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star appearing relatively close to the end of the NES and SNES's life spans. We can add Tilt and Tumble to that list too. :)

"Yoshi's Universal Gravitation" makes it sound like Yoshi literally became God and is wreaking havoc among the universe by throwing people into the air and playing pool with the planets.
Wario Ware Twisted was never released in Europe due to the game cart containing Mercury for the motion control.
Wow, really?
You holding the GameCube reminds me of when Strong Bad was shooting a movie and pretended an entire VCR was a car phone.

Ok but that tilt and tumble on the gamecube was fucking hilarious
Huzzah for new contents! Thanks for the quality entertainment, punching weight is one of the best shows on here!
If i remember correctly, the reason the EU didn’t get many of these games was due to heavy metals being used in the accelerometer/gyroscope.
When seeing that Diddy Kong Pilot gameplay as a MKWii fan I couldn't help but think "but that's Shy Guy Beach !"
I'm pretty close to getting a Raid Shadow Legends brand deal for my next phone call to my mum.
You know what's amazing about these GBA tilt games that allow you to calibrate them? The fact that you can play them on DS, with a backlight *and* a headphone jack *while* charging.

Let me tell you, playing WarioWare without being able to read makes it pretty awkward but the game is still so good
I still don't get why Wario Ware Twisted wasn't released in Europe while Yoshi's Topsy Turvy (renamed Universal Graivtation, as said) was.
The punching weight intro is absolutely amazing

The combinaison Gameboy SP + Gameshark Pro + Tilt'N'Tumble recalibrates the tilt function. It's a perfect way to play the game.
Sorry to make a pun like this, but these games are very e-motion-al.

It shouldn't be "soooo hard" if it's a Kirby game, and anti piracy back in the day was to ramp up the difficulty to Dark Souls.

Kirby tilt n tumble is best played on PS Vita via emulation.
