@@ClaireZhasai memorized it back then and still remember it to this day, as i confirmed through playing it again on the smartphone. It's a very easy layout to keep in mind, really
I didn't know I could do that .I just was walking along the walls because they where visible a little and later I could go the way blind because I played it so much . I remember the way till today .
The Ishihara fact caught me by surprise. The Pokemon franchise would've turned very differently without his contributions. Also, the more I learn about Mr. Nob the more I respect him.
Ages and seasons was the best ones, even after you passed it you could play the other one, and if I remember correctly it would let you unlock/transfer items from whichever game you played, and only after passing both games would you get the real ending.
@@FrozenGoblin That early era of Gen 1 Pokemon was more grounded on the idea of the Pokemon world taking place on Earth, what with Kanto being a real region in Japan and Lt Surge being originally called "The Lightning American".
For context for all of your points. The games and anime were done by completely separate companies. Most of the people working on the pokemon anime were new animators and new writers. That's why the 1st season has so many mistakes within. Like real fish swimming with pokemon.

Hmm. At 12:45 the video mentions that Kirby Tilt ‘N Tumble is the “only Color titled that can be booted on OG Game Boy unmodified.” I have a copy of Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for my GBC, which has an extended larger cartridge, and requires a AAA battery for the rumble feature. This cartridge also has a notch for the OG Game Boy, but displays the same message that it can only be played on the GBC.
looking at the shape of the cartridge, it seems identical to what they had with Pokemon Pinball on the GBC, complete with a battery slot for rumble. It's odd the notch is there, but as the video said, possibly they made use of the excess stock of original GB cartridge chips... Though nothing was stopping Nintendo from just, y'know, blocking out that notch.
Man this one seems to be made special for me. I really enjoyed this. I had no idea that Nob requested the icons for the items in Dragon Quest 3. I thought those were built in the original JP GBC version.
Regarding the Sponsor, Buyee was great at first for the likes of Amazon, but when placing bids on Yahoo Auction, they didn't not publish the postage prices from the sellers, and they charged a 300 Yen fee on each one you won. So once they arrived at their warehouse, suddenly I'm then expected to pay an additional Buyee servicing fee, and cover the postage costs that were hidden from me, jacking the prices up of everything I big on to way over an amount I would've been happy bidding for. And then, finally, the international shipping is still at least £20 or so - unless you go by seamail which can take MONTHS (I've been waiting over two months for a seamail package from them currently). I ended up spending more on the Buyee service fees and hidden postage costs for 10 Pokémon games than I did on the games themselves. So yeah, the games were a great deal, but everything else wracked way up without being upfront until I'd already paid for the items to arrive at their warehouse. Wouldn't recommend placing Yahoo Auction bids through them until they make this more clear - also making it clear seamail takes months (they put the postage estimation as blank).
@@leinad3955 So kind of you to tell me I didn't research it enough, you must know me so well. I scanned through every auction MULTIPLE times for days and there was no listed shipping prices. I was also very aware of the fee's beforehand, as I'd previously bought from Amazon JP via Buyee, and the process - whilst clunky - was grand. But on that one, as stated, they leave the seamail shipping blank and only say "we recommend buying X protection due to long shipping times" - but didn't say it could take multiple months. I researched it just fine, but certain aspects weren't publicised at all, or as clearly, as they could've been. Still happy to get these items in the end, but with the prices I ended up paying, I could've almost got from eBay UK and overpaid the sellers instead for an easier experience at a similar price.
Yeah it's kind of funky, I use Zenmarket which is basically the same thing, and the fees rack up after a while, so usually the offset has to be I got to be getting a really good deal on something that I can't get here. Being said though, you can usually check the original Yahoo auction and occasionally it will say a rough estimate for shipping
@@LxMxNxG I will say the positive is most stuff won't ship to Northern Ireland now thanks to Brexit, and Buyee were able to send it no problem and the GB games arrived super quick. The bigger thing I ordered from Amazon, though, is only finally arriving tomorrow after 2.5mths at sea, and I also have to pay Customs as well, which I didn't on the airmail games. Very weird.
Yeah, same thing happened to me when I bought stuff on there. Needless to say, I don't buy anything on there anymore unless I really can't find it literally anywhere else.
I do not want it remade like Links Awakening, I want it fully remade in 3rd person, the links awakening remake was so close to the original I couldn't finish it because I replayed Links Awakening so many times
@@kamenanew9867 that's exactly why I want it in 3D like Ocarina, I want to see how the dungeons and world looks from that perspective. I have replayed OoA and Seasons so many times, almost yearly ever since it released when I was a kid, I don't want to replay the same game again like they did with Links Awakening, when they first released the animated trailer I was so excited thinking it was a complete conversion and then my disappointment was immeasurable when I saw it plays and looks the same as the boy games
Yep. Just confirmed. Though, I didn't have luck pressing A+B at the same time. But I got it to work from that point just pressing A×25 then B×25. I made a save state on the panel de pon menu screen so I never have to fiddle with it again.
6:52 But that’s just the English name for Master Necky’s boss level! Also, Donkey Kong Land was called Super Donkey Kong GB, probably just to ride on the DKC hype train.
I also raised my eyebrow at that too, I remember that being the same name in the US... I also feel silly to only now realize that it's a double-meaning, with Necky's projectiles he coughs up and calling Necky "crazy"... we'll just let that third meaning slide before Rare went all-in with those jokes in Banjo-Kazooie and Conker :P
Wario Land 2 has an exclusive enemy that only appears in a single room in the original GB version of the game and said enemy was kept in the data for the GBC version where its red and has some connections to the giant fish boss.
I love the first two Star Ocean games before the third's twist ruined any future games for me... but yeah, the Ethereal Queen being oddly benevolent is a little out of character for her. Unless since the GBC game takes place directly after SO2, maybe it assumes you may have beaten her in the past and she recognizes the gang as being more powerful than her as a sign of respect? I guess pure headcanon until the devs reveal the real reason.
Aside from having Jazz influence, The Mogma theme and that unused Oracle of Seasons theme sound nothing alike. There's no reason to assume one was based on the other.
Something interesting about the St./S.S. Anne bit, although it's just a slight difference, the Japanese name got carried over to the english dub of the anime, they didn't use the localized name 🤔
5:12 I remember seeing a Santa reference in Super Mario 64 in the sign in front of the house in Cool, Cool Mountain and thinking “religion confirmed in Super Mario 64!” I wonder why that’s never brought up.
Man, that final fact, can you imagine a universe where Pokemon had no types? Everything was just smashing mons against one another with no weaknesses or resistances? It was the sheer complexity of all the different types that I feel really made Pokemon stand out, without who knows if the franchise would have grown into what it is today.
This made me remember one of the first games I ever played was Mystic Quest (Final Fantasy Adventure) on the GB, I was too small to understand anything going on but I walked around stabbing stuff, not knowing what to do or where to go.
14:10 I'll play capitain obvious but manji and swastika is the same symbol with just different associations. Other names are svarga, swarzyca, kolovrat/kołowrót and it very important symbol in Slavic culture. It has many variations regarding then number of arms. The symbol origins are basically from if you observe couple of stars around Pole star throughout the year. Hence repeated pattern around the centre.
That's actually really fascinating, I never knew about its usage in Slavic culture. I only assumed it was mainly an eastern Asia thing for Buddhism and then brought over to Germany after twisting its meaning during WW2. Personally I always saw a circle of feet walking either to the right or the left... that's how I usually remembered which one was the "bad" version
As a massive Panel de Pon fan, I actually knew what you were getting to with the Pokémon Puzzle secret data. It’s a fantastic secret that is great for Virtual Console.
Now knowing there's a secret "second" game to Pokemon Puzzle League, I now kinda regret not nabbing it on the eshop. I rationalized not getting it with "well, technically Puzzle League already is on Animal Crossing New Leaf..."
14:05 One of my favorite all-time Internet 1.0 posts was A Tumblr/Livejournal user talking about exactly this, how the manji isn't a swas but an eastern religious symbol meant to convey peace/love/understanding/whatever. The note above the post says something along the lines of "Yeah, go ahead and show everyone your religious symbol for peace"
Maybe that coding bug of not needing to beat Sabrina in Japan's Pokemon Green was subtly referenced in the anime by having Ash "win" by just making Sabrina laugh due to the wacky antics of his Haunter
That trick to play Panel de Pon in Pokemon Puzzle Challenge also works perfectly fine in the (now delisted) 3DS Virtual Console release of the game. I've activated it myself, ages ago.
I believe it was Pokémon red, that I navigated one of the caves with my Pokémon being poisoned and each time I took damage I was able to see where I was going.
The Japanese versions include many bugs that are truly unbelievable, and will have you wondering how the developers missed them.” Well, it’s a Pokémon game, so that tracks.
People being like “gens 8 and 9 are so bad game freak really fell off!” but no it’s more like they got back up during late gen 4 and 5 and then kept being as mediocre as ever for gens 6-9, sans arceus. Emerald, Platinum, HGSS, BW, B2W2 and Arceus are exceptions. Not the rule.
"all the charm of a hastily constructed war-room in a former lumber warehouse" I think Nob should be allowed to translate whatever he wants forever. He's got a way with words
Man, I remember when I first got Zelda Oracle of Ages & Seasons but all I had was a Gameboy Pocket, and it was utterly crushing to realize I couldn't play them. I knew about the notch thing and assumed that if the Pocket could still somehow play non-notched games. Suffice to say, those games remained in a drawer until I got my hands on a GBA.
In addition to Kirby Tilt N Tumble, Robopon was also a GBC game that had a notch in the cartridge. It had three Japanese versions (Sun, Moon and Star) but only the Sun version was localized.
@@megs69_420 Those are Game Boy compatible Game Boy Color games. They had the same cartridge as an original Game Boy game, but black. Gold and Silver were “black” cart games, but colored like all Pokémon games. The video was talking about Game Boy Color only games that won’t run in an original Game Boy, the black carts were playable in black and white on an original model.
As others have pointed out, Necky's Nuts was the name of the boss level of Monkey Mines, not a foreign renaming of Necky Nutmare. This video literally shows them walking to the boss level when they stare this misinfo, not sure where they derived this idea from.
To be fair, what they said isn’t wrong, but they omitted information and the video doesn’t match up with that information. As you say, yes, the English name of the boss of Monkey Mines is Necky’s Nuts. However, in the GBC version, there IS an extra non-boss level called Necky Nutmare in English, which in Italian, is called Le noci de Necky, or, in English, Necky’s Nuts. I will say that this fact was clearly poorly researched by DYKG, and given that the name is found in all English versions of the game, probably wasn’t something even worth featuring in the video.
Same here, I first tried leveling up enough so the random encounters would not be a problem but then I realized I could save and reload, still, hugging walls for hours was not fun and I was so happy when I got out of that cave,
@@CamusHyuga Same. I just assumed it was supposed to be a difficult challenge in the game when I was a kid, since some NPCs before that commented about how dark the cave was, etc.
A little off subject; I've attempted to watch this video on my Xbox Series S, Switch, & PS4 via TH-cam app several times and on all 3 consoles the video would stop after a minute or two, but the audio continued. Watching it on my phone however, no problems unless I try to screen share the video to any of the console's respective TH-cam app. Just seems to be this video too as I've been able to watch other videos on my 3 consoles TH-cam app with no problems.
As young boys with a bare minimum understanding of english, when we played Gen 1 pokemon games, we didn't figure out the use of Flash until much later. So what we did was to allow one pokemon in the party to get poisoned and then never give it the antidote. This way while walking every like 3 steps the pokemon would be hurt by poison and the animation included lighting the area for a few frames. This was enough to traverse the cave.
1:01 Why is Sabrina's sprite not black haired? I didn't know Pikachu could light up the cave without Flash. I needed to play a modded version of Kirby Tilt and Tumble when I emulated it on my 3DS since the tilt function doesn't work. I didn't know Wario was bald. 20:32 Seriously? I've seen goodies locked behind certain consoles but it was the advance version that had the added stuff.
Gen 1 often didn't bother making original overworld sprites for most of the Gym Leaders, opting to recycle various NPC sprites as to be fair, you had little reason to come back and see those Gym Leaders ever again after beating them once
How about an N64 facts video that reveals stuff like the truth behind the removal of the mysterious "Warupichi" in Mario Tennis from a recently-translated 2008 interview, an unreleased Japanese version of Dr. Mario 64 that like Panel de Pon 64 made its way to the Gamecube game Nintendo Puzzle Collection, etc.? 😉
@13:11 for the Metal Gear Solid GBC trivia, Brian McBride seems more like a reference to Steve McQueen to me. At least, that's my first instinct considering previous Kojima references and inspirations.
Here I am, wincing at you guys spreading around the Lost Levels article on Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur, which commonly gets mixed up with Jeremy Parish's outdated Desperately Seeking Seiken article. (Not to discredit Jeremy Parish, but because there have been quite a few misconceptions because of these being the only two known sources of info for a long time.) Besides, despite there allegedly being no prototypes, there were at least mock-ups of The Emergence of Excalibur's screenshots, and character art by Haruhiko Mikimoto for those magazine articles. Not to mention, The Emergence of Excalibur had a totally different story that anyone who could at least attempt to read Japanese could understand. It's even been documented on at least one Japanese site. TL:DR: I'm tired of seeing The Emergence of Excalibur as a footnote. Even as a guy who made a fake mockup based on what few screenshots were available, I'm tired of that. Then again, I'm tired of people saying that putting Secret of Mana on SNES-CD as intended would magically fix the original game's shortcomings, which were more related to poor programming (the multiplayer and screen-shove) and game design decisions (that stupid anti-button-mash meter) than the hardware. Also, I've seen the SNES-CD specs, and it does the bare minimum to make the SNES better than it is.
The Sabrina glitch kinda feels like it follows the Anime (25+ year old spoilers ahead) Where Ash/Satoshi loses to Sabrina the first time and then her dad teaches Ash/Satoshi how to win against her. But they didn’t fully incorporate it, but that’s just a head canon. Most likely is that was an oversight. But still fitting imo lol.
@@SorcererLance Ya, but then you have Link with a Switch shirt in BotW, so not everything can be considered “lore accurate”, lol. Although a Santa suit doesn’t really imply world religions anyway. The story of Santa Claus has no relation to Christianity (in how it was created or the “lore” of the story). You could just change the name of “Christmas” to something else, or come up with some other reason why the name is the same. Or not even mention a name and just allude to a winter holiday event.
I remember years ago seeing that animation of Mario rocking out in an old flash animation, "Stick Figures on Crack." It's interesting to actually know where it came from after all these years.
Super Mario Land is my favorite Mario game, partially because I’m bad at platformers, and Mario Land has nice traction and different airial maneuvering.
It's funny how Miyamoto was trying to State how they were working on the Oracle games to be possibly episodic, when it was Capcom who ended up creating the games. Capcom has said multiple times that they took the idea of three games being brought out simultaneously to have stories that all intermesh together, but ended up dropping one of the games and becoming a two-game series. So how could he sit there and say we were working on something?
he may have included Capcom as part of the "we", since it was a collaborative thing as Capcom got permission to make Zelda games with Nintendo's supervision and guidance
As much as I love Nob's work on the pokemon games, the localization of the GB Dragon Warrior trilogy was just pure trash. Thank God later ports and spin-off games fixed it.
There's a few GBC "rumble" games (Perfect Dark and Vigilante 8 are 2 such games) that can also be booted on an original Game Boy unmodified (still gives the error screen, of course) as they share the same shell shape as Pokemon Pinball which was designed to be backwards compatible with the original
@@megs69_420 those aren't Gameboy Color only games though, they're Gameboy Color Enhanced. Crystal is the only main series Gameboy Color Only Pokémon game.
@@megs69_420 yeah, those were recoloured versions of the black cartridge, like the one Tetris DX used. The black cartridges were compatible with both the Gameboy and the Gameboy Color. Other recoloured black carts include Pokémon Yellow and Donkey Kong Country.

Oracle of ages and seasons are the most underrated Zelda games ever
alongside triforce heroes but for very different circumstances, the water temple theme slaps though, very relaxing
nah Nintendo acknowledges these games quite often, Minish Cap on the other hand...
I always wanted them to bring the winged bear, kangaroo, and dinosaur thing over to one of the console Zelda's.

Well, it’s a Pokémon game, so that tracks.
People being like “gens 8 and 9 are so bad game freak really fell off!” but no it’s more like they got back up during late gen 4 and 5 and then kept being as mediocre as ever for gens 6-9, sans arceus.
Emerald, Platinum, HGSS, BW, B2W2 and Arceus are exceptions. Not the rule.
"all the charm of a hastily constructed war-room in a former lumber warehouse"
I think Nob should be allowed to translate whatever he wants forever. He's got a way with words
Shoutout to everyone who was the One Life Left Game Convention and got to hear about the special announcement there.
The Game Boy is so much more than just the Nintendo classics. There are so many hidden gems, I don't even know where to begin.
Man, I remember when I first got Zelda Oracle of Ages & Seasons but all I had was a Gameboy Pocket, and it was utterly crushing to realize I couldn't play them. I knew about the notch thing and assumed that if the Pocket could still somehow play non-notched games. Suffice to say, those games remained in a drawer until I got my hands on a GBA.
Resubbed to the channel. Glad to see you guys back.
In addition to Kirby Tilt N Tumble, Robopon was also a GBC game that had a notch in the cartridge. It had three Japanese versions (Sun, Moon and Star) but only the Sun version was localized.
Pokemon Gold and Silver (USA) also had notches in the carts. It's how my brother and I played those games before we got a gameboy color.
@@megs69_420 Those are Game Boy compatible Game Boy Color games. They had the same cartridge as an original Game Boy game, but black. Gold and Silver were “black” cart games, but colored like all Pokémon games. The video was talking about Game Boy Color only games that won’t run in an original Game Boy, the black carts were playable in black and white on an original model.
It's crazy that they got two versions of the game in the same cartrige and didn't advertise it
15:27 so that's where the Mario rocking his head gif comes from
Now I need to know where the rapping one comes from, lol.
Welcome backkkk we missed you guys
So glad you're back!
As others have pointed out, Necky's Nuts was the name of the boss level of Monkey Mines, not a foreign renaming of Necky Nutmare. This video literally shows them walking to the boss level when they stare this misinfo, not sure where they derived this idea from.
To be fair, what they said isn’t wrong, but they omitted information and the video doesn’t match up with that information.
As you say, yes, the English name of the boss of Monkey Mines is Necky’s Nuts. However, in the GBC version, there IS an extra non-boss level called Necky Nutmare in English, which in Italian, is called Le noci de Necky, or, in English, Necky’s Nuts.
I will say that this fact was clearly poorly researched by DYKG, and given that the name is found in all English versions of the game, probably wasn’t something even worth featuring in the video.
Yay, they're back. :)
The Pokedex bug referred to at 1:35 can't be recreated in Pokemon Yellow because the starter pokemon is always Pikachu and it can't evolve
I remember doing the dark cave without flash, it was hard and annoying. I didn't know I could use Flash till later!
Same here, I first tried leveling up enough so the random encounters would not be a problem but then I realized I could save and reload, still, hugging walls for hours was not fun and I was so happy when I got out of that cave,
@@CamusHyuga Same. I just assumed it was supposed to be a difficult challenge in the game when I was a kid, since some NPCs before that commented about how dark the cave was, etc.
Good to see it back.
A little off subject; I've attempted to watch this video on my Xbox Series S, Switch, & PS4 via TH-cam app several times and on all 3 consoles the video would stop after a minute or two, but the audio continued. Watching it on my phone however, no problems unless I try to screen share the video to any of the console's respective TH-cam app. Just seems to be this video too as I've been able to watch other videos on my 3 consoles TH-cam app with no problems.
The GBC Dragon Quest games are some of the best versions of those games strangely
15:27 That was the origin of the Mario head banging gif?! 😱
So that’s where that head-banging Mario came from.
The name St. Anne was also used in the English dub of the anime, so that's neat.
Hope you guys didn't lose too many subscribers
Thank you for making such amazing content!
I get excited when there's a new vid, especially if it's focused on retro games.
my favorite part of the video is inconsistent pixel scaling on the background footage
As young boys with a bare minimum understanding of english, when we played Gen 1 pokemon games, we didn't figure out the use of Flash until much later. So what we did was to allow one pokemon in the party to get poisoned and then never give it the antidote. This way while walking every like 3 steps the pokemon would be hurt by poison and the animation included lighting the area for a few frames. This was enough to traverse the cave.
DYKG uploaded. Good day today!
I used to just go through the dark cave without Flash because I didn’t want Flash taking up a move slot. I think I’ve done that more often than not.
I do think the GBC only rumble games also had a notch, since they used the same mold as the GB compatible rumble carts.
1:01 Why is Sabrina's sprite not black haired? I didn't know Pikachu could light up the cave without Flash.
I needed to play a modded version of Kirby Tilt and Tumble when I emulated it on my 3DS since the tilt function doesn't work. I didn't know Wario was bald. 20:32 Seriously? I've seen goodies locked behind certain consoles but it was the advance version that had the added stuff.
The nintendo switch version will have Tilt motion thankfully
Gen 1 often didn't bother making original overworld sprites for most of the Gym Leaders, opting to recycle various NPC sprites as to be fair, you had little reason to come back and see those Gym Leaders ever again after beating them once
How can the Pokédex error happen in Yellow version when your starter is Pikachu and it’s impossible to have evolved it before getting the Pokédex?
The Metal Gear game was titled Metal Gear Solid in America, not Europe. Ghost Babel is the European title. Oops!
How about an N64 facts video that reveals stuff like the truth behind the removal of the mysterious "Warupichi" in Mario Tennis from a recently-translated 2008 interview, an unreleased Japanese version of Dr. Mario 64 that like Panel de Pon 64 made its way to the Gamecube game Nintendo Puzzle Collection, etc.? 😉
I had no idea pichachu could light up caves like that 😊
3:05 - 3:20 Fullscreen flashing lights warning.
happy u got ur channel back
15:22 "Chris world" when Mario jumps out, worryingly prescient
This was a great episode.
Nob is a freaking legend!!
The character inside the opening in Star Ocean is the Ethereal Queen superboss. Did you know?
@13:11 for the Metal Gear Solid GBC trivia, Brian McBride seems more like a reference to Steve McQueen to me. At least, that's my first instinct considering previous Kojima references and inspirations.
I went and tried the Pokémon puzzle league thing immediately after seeing it and wow, it worked! That’s so cool!
Wooooooooooo yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh glad to see the channel back
Woohoo we back baby!
Let’s goo
Holy crap they included Bonk the caveman in this video
You should have mentioned the Zelda TOTK game boy color video that was released a few days ago. One of the best videos I saw on TH-cam recently
Here I am, wincing at you guys spreading around the Lost Levels article on Seiken Densetsu: The Emergence of Excalibur, which commonly gets mixed up with Jeremy Parish's outdated Desperately Seeking Seiken article. (Not to discredit Jeremy Parish, but because there have been quite a few misconceptions because of these being the only two known sources of info for a long time.)
Besides, despite there allegedly being no prototypes, there were at least mock-ups of The Emergence of Excalibur's screenshots, and character art by Haruhiko Mikimoto for those magazine articles. Not to mention, The Emergence of Excalibur had a totally different story that anyone who could at least attempt to read Japanese could understand. It's even been documented on at least one Japanese site.
TL:DR: I'm tired of seeing The Emergence of Excalibur as a footnote. Even as a guy who made a fake mockup based on what few screenshots were available, I'm tired of that. Then again, I'm tired of people saying that putting Secret of Mana on SNES-CD as intended would magically fix the original game's shortcomings, which were more related to poor programming (the multiplayer and screen-shove) and game design decisions (that stupid anti-button-mash meter) than the hardware. Also, I've seen the SNES-CD specs, and it does the bare minimum to make the SNES better than it is.
The too long, didn't read part is not much shorter than the original. 😂
No, it is in fact a swastika. "Manji" is just the Japanese word for swastikas. Swastikas are also Buddhist symbols, the Nazis didn't invent them.
Nob used to post on Enix's forums. He was a nice guy.
Woah! I remember playing Pokemon Gold and Metroid 2 on a flight once. That's the first time I've heard anyone else mention it.
props to nob for coming up with such ingenious solution
Pretty sure the Game Boy was my favorite babysitter growing up :)
The Sabrina glitch kinda feels like it follows the Anime (25+ year old spoilers ahead) Where Ash/Satoshi loses to Sabrina the first time and then her dad teaches Ash/Satoshi how to win against her.
But they didn’t fully incorporate it, but that’s just a head canon. Most likely is that was an oversight. But still fitting imo lol.
Good to know Super Mario 64 made Christmas cannon in the Mario universe
Didn't Mario also get a Santa outfit in Odyssey as well?
@@SorcererLance Ya, but then you have Link with a Switch shirt in BotW, so not everything can be considered “lore accurate”, lol. Although a Santa suit doesn’t really imply world religions anyway. The story of Santa Claus has no relation to Christianity (in how it was created or the “lore” of the story). You could just change the name of “Christmas” to something else, or come up with some other reason why the name is the same. Or not even mention a name and just allude to a winter holiday event.
I remember years ago seeing that animation of Mario rocking out in an old flash animation, "Stick Figures on Crack." It's interesting to actually know where it came from after all these years.
I found that Mario animation in the TH-cam video "Link finds a WTF???"
Weird that I found the Scooby-Doo one the most interesting
that forward facing mario sprite is pretty cursed
Super Mario Land is my favorite Mario game, partially because I’m bad at platformers, and Mario Land has nice traction and different airial maneuvering.
It's funny how Miyamoto was trying to State how they were working on the Oracle games to be possibly episodic, when it was Capcom who ended up creating the games. Capcom has said multiple times that they took the idea of three games being brought out simultaneously to have stories that all intermesh together, but ended up dropping one of the games and becoming a two-game series. So how could he sit there and say we were working on something?
he may have included Capcom as part of the "we", since it was a collaborative thing as Capcom got permission to make Zelda games with Nintendo's supervision and guidance
Liking this solely because of Ghost Babel. Such an overlooked game.
I wonder if they're gonna make a video on what happened? Or a post?
As much as I love Nob's work on the pokemon games, the localization of the GB Dragon Warrior trilogy was just pure trash. Thank God later ports and spin-off games fixed it.
Awesome! You recovered the account.
Wait, Kiddy Kong is actually called "Dinky Kong" in Japan? Now, that's pretty funny! XD
If anyone asked, yes it does work on the 3ds virtual console on the cutscene though
"Bonk's design was changed from blackface to a prison uniform."
That joke writes itself.
There's a few GBC "rumble" games (Perfect Dark and Vigilante 8 are 2 such games) that can also be booted on an original Game Boy unmodified (still gives the error screen, of course) as they share the same shell shape as Pokemon Pinball which was designed to be backwards compatible with the original
Also The Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy!
Pokemon Gold and Silver (USA) also had notches in the carts. It's how my brother and I played those games before we got a gameboy color.
@@megs69_420 those aren't Gameboy Color only games though, they're Gameboy Color Enhanced. Crystal is the only main series Gameboy Color Only Pokémon game.
@@megs69_420 yeah, those were recoloured versions of the black cartridge, like the one Tetris DX used. The black cartridges were compatible with both the Gameboy and the Gameboy Color.
Other recoloured black carts include Pokémon Yellow and Donkey Kong Country.
Wow, that pokédex bug is harder to activate on Yellow, since Pikachu can't evolve on route 1
So THAT'S where the GIF of Mario dancing with the sign of the horns comes from
