Comment a fact you learned from this video down below and we'll heart your comment! This is the biggest project we've ever done, so any support is extra appreciated :D
One of my favorite Nintendo facts is that Kirby won a Grammy (sort of). Last year, the 8-bit big band got a Grammy for their arrangement of meta knight’s revenge from Kirby superstar! Not technically an official Nintendo music release, but still it’s pretty cool imo. Also the iceberg was great!
One thing that a lot of people also miss when discussing the "mew under truck" thing is the fact that the truck is a unique asset of not one, but four sprites. Sprite limit was so limited back then that you had to mirror, recolor and reuse a lot of sprites purely to make a game fit on the tiny cartridge. This means that if that truck truly had nothing on it, that would be some valuable data being wasted on absolutely nothing which is unheard of in any other part of the game. That's a huge part of what made mew under the truck so compelling, and back then we didn't know that gamefreak was actually made up of bad coders, so them putting in useless data that actually did nothing didn't seem like the kind of thing they'd do
2:01:45 I would like to state that in this case the people who wear sombreros and ponchos IRL (Mexicans like yours truly) never claimed cultural appropriation of any sort for this, most of us were in fact quite happy with this representation as it was done in a very tasteful and friendly way and some of us even went out of our way to show this costume and the guitar playing clip to friends and family. The outrage was caused by twitter users (big surprise I know) who claimed this was "cultural appropriation" giving us another great moment of white people crying foul when it was none of their business when it comes to topics they should just keep the frik away from such as cultural appropriation that isnt their own and racism when its in any way you look at it, cute, fun and quirky and with not s single ounce of malice in it.
It’s not just white people. It’s just as racist to assume that. I see people of all races doing this shit. Black Americans and white Americans are pretty equal on how bad they are with it
You're right, that if white people see something that another race might be offended about they should let that culture speak up about it, but a lot of "mexican americans" also talked badly about it, the second generation mexicans who lived in america all their lives, never spoke a word of spanish and engross themselves in a white american culture while still claiming to have mexican roots even though they're not mexican, they're only american at that point, those people also cried and complained about it while no one else seemed to have any problem with it. Idk what it is with second generation immigrants to america and having "being offended at things and being racist against white people" as one of their core personality traits, but it's gotten old very fast.
@@JimMilton-ej6zi I'm sorry but just because you and possibly your parents aren't born in the country your family is from, doesn't mean you lose your ethnicity. I have lots of friends who are 2nd and third generation Aussies who only speak English and they still get asked where they're really from. Migrant parents don't suddenly give birth to a british child just because they're in Australia. I'm pretty pale for a Greek unless I go outside and even I've had a patient refuse care from me because she only wants a white nurse who can speak English without a foreign accent and understand her. You want to know what my accent is? Very Australian with a hint of Afrikaans as my parents grew up in south africa. I was also very tan as I actually made the long trek to the beach that summer. But no I'm basically Australian and have no right to say I'm Greek. And maybe it's different in America, I wouldn't know, but here in Australia, I don't know anyone who goes SJW mode against white people even though they're grandparents left their home country at a young age
I’m sorry, I didn’t know you knew every single Mexican and knew how every single Mexican feels. Surely if you feel a certain way that means everyone in your community feels the same way.
2:17:00 the "left facing Swastika" has its own name to distinguish itself, its called the "Manji" and its a prominent part of japanese culture as its often used to depict the afterlife such as cementeries and Budhist Temples, it is also featured in the Pokemon TCG in japan in the Trainer card "Koga's Secret Technique of Transformation" the card however was never released in the west and another prominent feature of the manji in popular media is the anime "Tokyo Revengers" about a young man sent back into his teen years to find a way to infiltrate the top spots of a delinquent gang so he can prevent them from murdering his love interest in the present, the gang's name is "Tôkyo Manji" or "TôMan" for short.
@@itaiko5498The Nazis co-opted pretty much everything in those times, Christianity, Catholicism, art from many cultures, Darwinian evolution. Evil cannot create, only corrupt. So none of those things the Nazis stole are their own, only their corruption.
2:24:50 while some may argue this may be black face its more likely to stem from a very popular fashion in japan some 20+ years back called "Ganguro" in which the mostly pale japanese girls would go overboard with makeup, spray on tan and even bleach their hair to look more "western" this was an actual well liked fashion style back then and there is a lot of documentation on the matter online. In fact one of the first and most popular games in newgrounds back in those days is Ganguro Girl (careful as this game is an adult oriented dating sim.) and if you are to image search "Ganguro" you can find many examples of japanese women using this style. Id say the biggest giveaway of this being mostly based on Ganguro would be the timing. As during the development of Red and Green Ganguro fashion was at the peak of its popularity and Nintendo would never put a decisevely negative racist stereotype in their game, a least not on purpose.
I've heard of that before. Considering Nintendo has cultural references in their games with tanookies, kapp'n miis ect, it's no surprise jinx would be a Japanese cultural reference of its time. I would argue that anyone who gets morally outraged by misinterpreting media and art are guilty of what they accuse another of doing because they are expressing what they see on their salience landscape. Kind of like those arbitrary images a psychologist shows and the patient describes what they see is how I look at it.
its actually based on the yama-uba yokai myth, a witch with black skin and white hair that lives in the mountains. ganguro would produce a style also based on the appearance of the yama-uba, but jynx was directly inspired by the yokai itself, not ganguro
Let's face it. 99% what western people claim as r*cist, isn't r*cist. The 1% is maximum 30s cartoons being a product of their time and they love to ignore stereotypes of european countries.
I had a pink XL ds as a child. I had it until my brother broke it in half. I think a cool fact about Nintendo was that it stood the test of time and endured two wars. It really is great!
Great work on this! As someone who is working on a different kind of Nintendo iceberg rn, your work and research on this is commendable!! I just subbed 😊
2:25:11 To my knowledge, Jynx was inspired by the Yama-uba legend. I don’t think it was rooted in racism, just perceived that way because of the cultural shock of urban legend stories.
Out of all these interesting facts, Night Trap being on the Switch after the Chairman stated it would never be on a Nintendo system decades ago really made me laugh.
Another theory on the Hell Valley Sky Trees: According to Mullet Mike from Creepy Gaming, they are based on kodama (Japanese mythical nature spirits that are said to live in trees)
Funny that the fat DS came up here, I actually bought a pristine condition one recently for $60 and couldn't believe just how nice it felt and looked. Maybe it's just that I have bigger hands but I suppose that lines up with my own preference of the Wii U Gamepad over the Switch tablet. One of these days somebody's gotta mod a Switch into a Wii U Gamepad shell, would be very neat.
Linkle is not a female version of Link, she's an obsessed fangirl that wants to look like him. She is also not canon and not a Nintendo creation. Hyrule Warriors was made by KT, the same people who make all the Warriors games. Nintendo had nothing to do with the design or development of any of its characters. Also, she wasn't added because of fan demand. There was concept art because she was a long planned DLC character.
Honestly if peta were a Japanese organization I could see Nintendo pressing some kind of lawsuit on them. Japanese copyright laws are known to be really, really strict. I’m honestly surprised doujinshi are legal there because they don’t hesitate to get the law involved for the dumbest reasons when it comes to trademark and copyright
@@TheSlipperyNUwUdledoujinshi tend to not be cracked down on because a most of the big ones are secretly written by big mangakas but also the because they tend to promote the manga and anime though either way it does break their copyright laws it’s just those laws are written in such a way that you have to claim first and nobody wants to
18:35 its ironic how people made fun of this ad, but its actually true now. comparing the switch to the ps5/new xbox shows that both those consoles are very lacking in games compared to the switch. even taking just the first 4yrs of the switch's life and you'd still have an abundance of games compared to the ps5. the switch has games should be brought back as an ad, because it actually makes sense now and would be a great diss at sony/microsoft
1:39:32 I’m impressed that so far all the ones in the deep section i actually didn’t know, nice edit: lots of really good facts after too i had no idea about
45:10 Kirby's angry menacing face on western box art is a marketing technique. Look at the differences between the PS1 Spyro games and entire ratchet and clank series and you'll see an American company doing the inverse. In order to market their games in Japan, Insomniac made Spyro look friendlierand childlike by giving him rounder facial features both in game and on the cover art (as well as slowing down Spyro's charge speed and zooming out the camera to reduce motion sickness) and gave Ratchet bushy eyebrows, friendlier faces and poses on the cover art and a younger sounding voice (also completely changed his transformation scene in Gladiator)
I'm more impressed that the gameboy colour could connect to the internet even if it was 2 years later and only in Japan. I don't know how many games other than Pokemon Crystal that uses the mobile adapter though. I know that the oracle of seasons and ages games were supposed to make use of it back when they were still supposed to be a trilogy, but Nintendo went with a password system to link save files between versions
18:17 ironically, "Nintendo Switch has games" is actually a huge flex in retrospect given that the old meme "PS3 has no games" has become a reality now that Sony released a console that really does have no games.
I had the fat DS. Never had any of the other ones(though my little sister did). I loved mine! It was so different. Had some good games, like Nintendogs, and Metroid. Stopped using mine, because they had a defect. The screen was so heavy, the hinge holding them to the to console part would snap, and so I couldn't open it anymore without it coming apart!
As another commenter pointed out, it's more likely to reference ganguro as the style was popular in Japan at the time of Pokemon red and green. The style had to do with wearing excess makeup and have bleached hair.
2:13:44 not big deal. It's JAPAN. They don't view nakedness as "evil" or "disgusting" (which are American beliefs). Nakedness is viewed as a sign of "purity" in Japanese culture, so it was normal to see these kind of gags in manga or anime back in the 90s (EVEN before).
@@FindingsOfAnArmouredMindand they didn’t say “I don’t feel that way”. Kind of funny you corrected someone’s assuming something by assuming something about them.
This was pretty fun to watch! I do want to say that the fact about Jinx at the end there is all but definitely Not true, btw, more just culture shock: Jinx itself is probably based on the Yama-Uba Japanese legend, which is basically legends about a spirit that looks like a woman and sings beautifully, but more relevant here is that Jinx's design most likely comes from the Ganguro fashion that was becoming super popular in Japan around the time of Pokemon's release. You can look it up for pictures, but Ganguro (and Gyaru fashion as a whole) was basically a way for girls to rebel against more traditional Japanese concepts of beauty (dark hair, pale skin, softer/neutral makeup) in girls by becoming very tan, bleaching their hair, and wearing more vibrant makeup. Unfortunately here in the States if you didn't know that fact it could 100% come off as BAD, which it did obviously with Jinx since not many knew about Japanese culture at the time outside of whatever was seen on their tvs.
1:08:04 When the Party Royale mode was remotely new, Epic Games collaborated with a lot of DJs. With the collaborations, the DJs sent videos of them playing their music, displayed on huge screens found around the island (like the one kirby was on) Im guessing that since it was only a trailer, the trailer editors put in any in-game clips they had, coincidentally including the DJ's video that included Kirby
45:05 Kirby was marketed this way in America likely to make Kirby seem "less cutesy" to male youth, correct me if I'm wrong. 47:50 I remember hearing about this that Nintendo DID INDEED sue Peta for their games. I haven't been able to find any concrete proof but I do know for one it's probably something along the lines of "satirical parody" and whatnot. They infact did respond after a callout from Peta for Tanooki suits when Mario 3D Land released.
I’ll make an Iceburg but this time for quality: The Sky (10/10): Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario Brothers 3, The Legend of Zelda N64 Games, Super Mario 64, Kirby Super Star, Mario Kart Double Dash, Pokémon Platinum, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Metroid Enter the Water (9/10): The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening, Mario Kart Arcade GP, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Kirby Triple Deluxe Scuba Diving Level (8/10): Pikmin, F-Zero GX, Star Fox Assault. 500 Meters (7/10): Wii Play, Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon Getting Dark (6/10): Pokémon Sun & Moon, Fire Emblem Fates The Little Light Zone (5/10): The Legend of Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link, Game & Wario The Dark Zone (4/10): Mario Party 9/10 The Abyss Zone (3/10): The CDI games The Hadal Zone (2/10): Paper Mario Sticker Star, Pokémon Dash The Challenger Deep (1/10): Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, The Virtual Boy, Animal Crossing Amibo Festival
1: 11:34 it was also referenced in the second alvin and the chipmunks move 2: 46:09 the lawyer they used for the suit was named john kirby and to thank him they named kirby after him.
51:26 The Pikmin shorts is way more known than literally everything else on there. It’s NoA’s 4th most popular video, NoE’s 2nd most popular video, and NoJ’s most popular video. It’s far more known than Mario dunking on Lebron James. And they didn’t even reuplaod every Pikmin Short Movie to RUclips!
Nintendo wasn't a part of E3 before 2001. Nintendo had its own game software and hardware showcase called "Nintendo Shoshinkai"/"Nintendo Space World" (任天堂スペースワールド) in Japan. At this time stamp 15:08 you are talkin about a version of "Super Mario 64" only publicly shown once at Shoshinkai 1996 not at E3. The version of "Super Mario 64" at Shoshinkai 1995, fans of the game have dubbed it as the "Super Mario 64 beta". This is actually a real thing that happened.
Great video. It covers pretty much everything related to Nintendo. Obviously there are still many other interesting topics that could've also been mentioned, but the iceberg's already so large and you gotta draw a line at some point.
Fantastic effort from you guys! Throughly enjoyed it. If there's one thing I'd like to point out is that I don't think Gunpei Yokoi was the inventor of the Tamagochi? But a different guy named Yokoi.
My turquoise Game boy got left outside after we moved, for about 2 years. With Marble Madness in it. I found it and let it dry for a month. And it freaking worked! I just sold it in 2021 lol

I knew they started with hanafuda cards, but I didn't realise Nintendo was founded before *sliced bread.* that just doesn't seem right to me.
i like mario games
This iceberg gets crazier and crazier.
What is the link for the iceberg on Reddit?
OK buddy its safe to say that theLine Genesis does what Nintendont. Well now its Nintendoes what sega dont anymore.
the fact that a switch helping a kidnapped girl go home and a theory that the protagonist from pikmin smokes weed are in the same tier is crazy

Jinx itself is probably based on the Yama-Uba Japanese legend, which is basically legends about a spirit that looks like a woman and sings beautifully, but more relevant here is that Jinx's design most likely comes from the Ganguro fashion that was becoming super popular in Japan around the time of Pokemon's release.
You can look it up for pictures, but Ganguro (and Gyaru fashion as a whole) was basically a way for girls to rebel against more traditional Japanese concepts of beauty (dark hair, pale skin, softer/neutral makeup) in girls by becoming very tan, bleaching their hair, and wearing more vibrant makeup. Unfortunately here in the States if you didn't know that fact it could 100% come off as BAD, which it did obviously with Jinx since not many knew about Japanese culture at the time outside of whatever was seen on their tvs.
Great vid!
Funny thing about the triforce/cargo pants fit. In the game Class of 09, Jeffrey has it as one of his outfits 💀
I was wondering why soooo many videos use the Mii channel music for background music. It sends me back to 9th in my head every time I hear it
Crazy to think we got out of stock digital games before GTA6
Very nice watch. Learned many new things I would not have ever known (ex. Smash Bro origins).
7:34 HOLY SHIT, another hard to beat boxing champion called Matt besides Matt Turk!? God have mercy on us
1:08:04 When the Party Royale mode was remotely new, Epic Games collaborated with a lot of DJs. With the collaborations, the DJs sent videos of them playing their music, displayed on huge screens found around the island (like the one kirby was on)
Im guessing that since it was only a trailer, the trailer editors put in any in-game clips they had, coincidentally including the DJ's video that included Kirby
26:58 this exact melody comes from an old Peruvian show called Pataclaun. It's pretty much the same lol. Weird.
"My body my body is ready" fills me with joy
45:05 Kirby was marketed this way in America likely to make Kirby seem "less cutesy" to male youth, correct me if I'm wrong.
47:50 I remember hearing about this that Nintendo DID INDEED sue Peta for their games. I haven't been able to find any concrete proof but I do know for one it's probably something along the lines of "satirical parody" and whatnot. They infact did respond after a callout from Peta for Tanooki suits when Mario 3D Land released.
50:42
Maybe this was inspiration for the "MARIO IS BALLIN?!" meme.
i like this video, i learned a lot of new facts, (i do not know much about Nintnedo)
I had the fat DS. I remember getting it the first Christmas after the release. One of my favorite memories
Bro, why am I so hyped up in the first 30 seconds of the video?
I used to have a cartridge of those cartoon network shows. And holy shit did I ever watch those same episodes OVER AND OVER AND OVER

what track is the song from at 42:15 i cant think of it for the life of me
1: 11:34 it was also referenced in the second alvin and the chipmunks move 2: 46:09 the lawyer they used for the suit was named john kirby and to thank him they named kirby after him.
51:26 The Pikmin shorts is way more known than literally everything else on there. It’s NoA’s 4th most popular video, NoE’s 2nd most popular video, and NoJ’s most popular video. It’s far more known than Mario dunking on Lebron James. And they didn’t even reuplaod every Pikmin Short Movie to RUclips!
38:10 I thought of my light/bubblegum pink DS Lite that I had when I was a little kid :3
43:46 mario party mini game: give yourself a heart attack, whoever glatlimes first wins
Nintendo wasn't a part of E3 before 2001.
Nintendo had its own game software and hardware showcase called "Nintendo Shoshinkai"/"Nintendo Space World" (任天堂スペースワールド) in Japan.
At this time stamp 15:08 you are talkin about a version of "Super Mario 64" only publicly shown once at Shoshinkai 1996 not at E3.
The version of "Super Mario 64" at Shoshinkai 1995, fans of the game have dubbed it as the "Super Mario 64 beta".
This is actually a real thing that happened.
i watched this video in one sitting, and started in the afternoon and finished at 8:03 PM
i enjoyed this video very much ty!
Awesome vid
43:12 It’s him. Driving the bus.
Great video. It covers pretty much everything related to Nintendo. Obviously there are still many other interesting topics that could've also been mentioned, but the iceberg's already so large and you gotta draw a line at some point.
Dude the 90s had to be a trip if you were so bored on the train you pulled out your calculator sir
fun fact: in Mario Party Superstars, the tug of war minigame returns, along Sith a WARNING to not use the palm of your hand to spin the control stick😂
1:01:53 we finally got it
I love these Nintendo facts!
Deserves attention
41:09
*Top Gun Memories Theme*
Fantastic effort from you guys! Throughly enjoyed it. If there's one thing I'd like to point out is that I don't think Gunpei Yokoi was the inventor of the Tamagochi? But a different guy named Yokoi.
plusle and minun as a team like ice climbers? yes!
My turquoise Game boy got left outside after we moved, for about 2 years. With Marble Madness in it. I found it and let it dry for a month. And it freaking worked! I just sold it in 2021 lol
12:40 this was for the GAME & WATCH!!!!!
My body is ready to watch this
a vitality sensor would be great for a horror game that detects your heartrate
1:12:23 Nice. I played the steam version of the game. It's a pretty good 2D platformer game.
Was yokoi not a janitor? Thats what I’ve always heard. Apparently janitor and general operative sometimes, but never an electrician 12:29
So glad u spoke on the smb super show because it feels like a fever dream
Just wanna say I love you !
@@IsraelLlerena ????????
Amiibo is pretty fitting for Nintendo cause it gives off Super Smash Bros trophy vibes
the Pikmin shorts were soooo good
You created a new number. Thirty hundred thousand.
Lol I don't know how I didn't see it before, the but the wii remotes hitting tv compilations are great.
12:34 I believe that he came up with the Game & Watch when seeing a man play with a calculator, not the Game Boy
This is what I call quality.
