HaHa! LOL! 😆
Challenge them to a tinkle competition

"The goal of the game is to tinkle on Doshin"
Ohhhh, now I get why this game never came to America
"Making him bigger, eventually big enough to escape." I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
@@LouisAndPillz so it's that kind of pizza party ;p
Yeah, our president tinkles on people already.
I mean, we had Konker?? You got to pee in multiplayer
@@christopherareed so did ozzie but people like him

Oof didn't need to go all heavy like that
Existential crisis "not" avoided...
Lmao
How dare you!
As a child playing Super Smash Bros Melee, I was always fascinated with the trophies that I would collect and reading their bio, especially the ones that said Japan Only. And this was when the internet was at it's infancy so you really couldn't look up the information of the Japan only games. It broke my heart collecting trophies in Melee that said Japan Only, because I only had my mind to imagine what the gameplay of those Japan Only games could've been, but I'm happy DYKG gave some love to Doshin the Giant and summarized what the game was like, because when I got the Love Giant and the Hate Giant trophy in Melee, I always wondered what the game was like, and I finally know thanks to this video, Thank You DYKG!!!
I had the same experience, but later on when i COULD look things up, only to have limited information on, for example, Doshin the Giant.
For me, it was the complete opposite since I live in Europe. My cousin got this game on his 6th birthday or something and... oh boy that game was trippy and creepy af for a 6 year old. When I saw a Doshin trophy existing in Melee, I was absolutely shocked. I was like: How did this unknown weird game (only my cousin and I pretty much knew about this game) land in Melee?
It was so damn awkward, I tell ya.
"The goal of the game is to tinkle on Doshin"
* R kelly has entered the chat.
So Doshin is basically built like a giant Roblox character?
*OooOooOOOOOF*
When I first saw this video, I was immediately infatuated with the game. I live in North America, so I don’t own a PAL gamecube, but I was determined that I’d play this. And after a few months of saving and modding, I’m finally able to play it. And it’s so much fun!
Thank you for showing such a cool game!
Me when I first saw the thumbnail: "Aye, it's that trophy from Melee!"
Ethan Schneider hey me too!
Eeey same here. Smash is great for learning gaming history. I would have never played many series like Earthbound or ever even known about it
Ethan Schneider yep same here
8:10 "The aim of the game is to tinkle on Doshin."
That's it for me, folks! See you next time!
I saw this comment just as he said it.
@@Dzztzt me too
Ohhhh he meant “create three games” and not “free games”
I didn't get that until I saw this comment.
things i've learned today;
there is an official nintendo game where you piss on the old gods just because you can
"The Child Can Tinkle Hearts Out."
I'm sorry, but that killed me lol! 😂😂😂
If Doshin was localized by the MXC team, he'd be called Golden Shower Boy.
Right you are, Ken.
Kinky
Ah but don’t forget about the Green Tea Bagger, Ken.
-Up next we have Doshin Babaganoosh! He likes to help Native villagers in his spare time.
-Yeah, I help Natives too by gambling at their big casinos, haha..
-Glad to know you give back to the community, Ken. OH and it looks like Doshin runs right into the wall is now being fisted by Stanky.
-You know he kinda reminds me of a yellow stanky.
-Right you are Ken.
i giorno have a dream
I remember this game from the Trophy in Melee
Yeah, the amount of games that were Japan-only I learnt of from that game was like it was teasing.
Doshin the giant had a trophy right?
@@mrdanyo1223 Yep!
@@mrdanyo1223 2!
Oooooohhhhh You just reminded me too!
I'm glad to see Doshin is getting the love {or hate} he so richly deserves. I spent about two years of my life playing the game and translating the text of both the N64 64DD games, just so I could beat it. But I finally managed to unlock all the movie clips in the Expansion which was super fun, and so far I think I'm the only person on RUclips to have ever completed the entire expansion game. Someday maybe we'll find out what the lyrics to the Expansion game's ending song are.
I like how they say all of Doshin's abilities are based on his size, then the first ability they mention is raising and lowering the ground telepathically.
i suppose that movement implies the giant uses its hands to dig the terrain.
It's an artistic impression of his ability to do it. He's not doing anything telepathically.
Big telepathic powers, I mean, a normal sized telepathic person wouldn’t be that powerful I suppose lol
The bigger u are the more land is altered in size!
@@LordRayken Seems he has powers as Hate Giant, plus the ending, so I think Doshin has psychic powers too. (like all living beings....)
I always wanted to play this game.
Edit: Mention of Cubivore, too.-the other GameCube game that I always wanted to play but haven’t been able to.
Cubivore is great haha. Seeing your comment made me want to play it again 😂
I've personally always wanted to play Giftopia on the Gamecube. Would love to see a Region Locked episode on that game 😄
Shame every translation attempt of that game has failed-
I had Cubivore back in the day. It was so hard to find a copy but I eventually found it used at gamestop after calling like 10 different ones. Really fun game. Sad that I eventually sold it because it's worth quite a bit of money now.
Storied Worlds Doshin is fun, but Cubivore is quite the good time! It’s butt ugly, but I’m happy to still have my copy before it got too expensive. No box though...
Checkout the Soundtrack. "In the Wake of Doshin, the Giant" it's fantastic.
It sucks Tatsuhiko Asano didn't get a mention at all. His music permeates the game with atmosphere and feeling. I am honored to own the cd that I got directly from Tatsuhiko himself 12 years ago.
@@keppj0nes That's super cool. Did you meet him at a convention or something?
@@keppj0nes my god i'd suck some serious dick to get a memory like that in my head
OMG! This is my favorite obscure game ever! Thank you for covering it!
Well, none of us got Mother 64, so we’re even.
Dang what happened to the other 61 Mother games
Dead
Japan got it, but as Mother 3 for the GBA.
Ever since seeing it on Melee I wanted to play it
Doshin always reminded me of those bendy smiley face figures you get at gift shops.
I remember seeing the trophy in Smash and not knowing what it was. When I learned a bit about it, I wanted to play it. Now, after watching this, I really want to play it! If those early rumors of Nintendo including GameCube games on Switch become reality, I hope they throw in Doshin. Would love to play it.
10:16 holy cow! ive actually seen some of these in person at the National Video Game Museum.
I remember seeing this in nintendo power waaaay back in the day and was always hoping for a release. Too bad it never got over here.
That David Attenborough impression at the end! 😂
I can only imagine the giant saying. "Your only making me stronger" as he gets peed on.
OK, 3 things: Firstly, I need to find this game since it looks really great and the kind of game that I'd spend hours on. Secondly, you did a fantastic job on the narrating Matt. I'd be happy to hear it again in the future. And finally, I didn't know that I would click on a video about a somewhat obscure video game, and be somehow shown the credits of Emmerdale that I don't I think I've heard in more than 10 years...
My knowledge of GameCube games is super limited so I always appreciate videos like this!
Matt has instantly become my favorite DYKG narrator. Unlike the other guys, it doesn't sound like he's constantly on the verge of laughter and it sounds like he actually takes the narration seriously. I appreciate that greatly. Even during all the "tinkle" talk he kept it straight. Well done.
I remember playing doshin the giant as a kid on the game cube, could never remember the name of it😂 thanks for reminding me of this classic
Finally a Region locked EP...
This is one of my favorite gamecube games. so quirky and fun. Been looking for a physical copy for ages
I've known about Doshin the Giant since SSBM through the trophy, but this is literally the first time I've ever seen actual gameplay. Awesome video, guys.
I played this game a lot as a kid. I have very fond memories of playing it.
How great you did a video about Doshin the giant this year. I own the game (Europe yay!). My little brother got inspired to pick it up again and play it from a convent earlier this year were they featured it. So we blow off the dust and have played it a lot during this summer. First time on a decade. :-)
"The aim of the game is to tinkle on Joshin so he can get bigger"
HOL UP
Doshin has got to be the weirdest game I've ever heard of.
*sees sequel*
I take it back.
I agree
So, a more intuitive version of Black & White.
i was thinking the same thing, i wonder what one came first.
@@sixsicsixgod From Wikipedia: Black & White - 30 March 2001, Doshin the Giant - 1 December 1999.
Edit: corrected a typo.
@@sixsicsixgod Black and White did by a year, 2001
@@aipaloovik No, Black and White didn't came first. The original Doshin the Giant came out on December 1999. You are thinking about the GameCube version that is dated March 2002.
@@SirioNovilunium Which is the one that
they're talking about.
That's what puts the "D'oh!" in Doshin!
Once you showed the Melee trophies it all came together. I knew I had seen him somewhere before
Ever since seeing the trophy in Melee I was always intrigued by this game. It's always the smaller, more peculiar Nintendo IPs that get me excited. Like The Stretchers that just dropped. That came outta nowhere and I am all for it!
Wow I remember there was an ad for this in the Tips & Tricks with Pokemon Snap on the cover
The region-locked I was waiting for. Doshin will always be my boi
Oh my god I loved this game as a kid but could never remember the name of it!
Doshin the Giant: The True Stop n Swap
This game is definitely a good example of ahead of its time. This idea would be great with a new look today.
It's crazy, I was just thinking about this the other day. When I was like ten or something, I read about this game on GameFAQs while looking up random Gamecube games there. I thought it sounded cool, so I begged my mom to get it for me. She took the time after school to drive me an hour into the city, where we then went to every place we could think of that sold games trying to find it. It wasn't until the third or fourth store that someone looked it up and pointed out that it was region locked. Mom was less than pleased to have spend so much time trying to find this game that we couldn't even get. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't have even enjoyed it that much.
i'm already liking this video because of tthe initial footage of extreme g at the beginning
I was only just thinking of this game the other day! I had this for about a week, but could never figure out how to do things. Like the villagers wanted a flower, but when I tried to drop it it'd just float away. I should try buy it again...
You did great. I as good as any other on this channel.
Thank you!
Damn, this looks super fun, actually
I can't recall whether I learned about this character before or after I saw his trophy in SSBM back in the early 2000s, or if I read about him in magazines back then, but I feel it to be the latter. I knew about Randnet and the N64DD because of a Mexican Nintendo magazine I read, and I also found out later about the GameCube port. I must've looked up the word Doshin or something.
Anyway, this video made me feel pretty nostalgic. Hearing about games that were only released in the mysterious country of Japan fascinated me as a kid.
I remember seeing Doshin in magazines. Was USA going to get it at some point but it was cancelled?
Doshin the Giant was never released in America? I feel sorry for them! I fortunately still own this game and it was such a weirdly wonderful game. It was at that era where Nintendo got really creative and open with their Gamecube games and all my mates and I absolutely loved it!
I still have my copy of this on the Gamcube. I always remember seeing the 64DD version in magazines and was quite surprised when I heard it was getting a release. It always struck me as being very similar in concept to Black & White. I didn't realise at the time that it only got a Japanese and Europeon release only though seeing as it was a relitivly early release I would have thought it would have been released worldwide. Playing the game though it is one of those games where you have to accept a slow pace beause of how much harder it becomes to navigate the larger you get. An interesting curiosity of the time though and not the kind of game you would expect on a console.
Oh imma make this guy cry so hard right now!...your voice is wonderful.
Please make a region locked video on the StarTropics series!
For StarTropics 1 the only thing that might make for an interesting topic is if there was some big reason why it never came out in Japan despite being made there, as it was released only in North America and Europe. StarTropics 2 was a North America exclusive, though to be honest I can already guess the reason why Europe never got it is simply because it came out in 1994 and Nintendo of Europe probably didn't see a new NES game released at the time being worth the time and money to translate into multiple languages.
That Melee trophy finally has context!
I found a french streamer who also speaks english on twitch today and told them about this video, and they seemed to be interested in it. They are working on playing every GameCube game released, and their stream happened to be of playing doshin the giant. I hope they like all these cool facts.
That game looks legit, wish we got it here
Cubivore's Panda also appeared as a trophy in Melee.
Never played the game, but have listened to the soundtrack thousands of times.
It was a mistake to make him have an outie bellybutton.
Lol XD
It does look like a private part
I was lucky enough to get Doshin the Giant, F-Zero GX and Turok Evolution for my ninth birthday. Very interesting game that took up a lot of my time back then, but it got VERY frustrating later on.
I liked N64 more then and I still like it more now. Most N64 games I loved then, hold up pretty well today. But only a handful of PS1 games I know of are actually still appealing to me today, even if I really liked them back then.
Oh, hey! It's that one trophy from Melee!
I think ya did great, Matt! Looking forward to hearing you more!
You did great, Matt.
Does anyone know how to take a nap in this game? I know A+B is sit, but the ending screen measures "midday nap" time. I saw on the japanese guide that the giant falls asleep when there's nothing to do, so I left the giant alone without touching anything for an entire ingame day, but nothing happened.
This is a surprisingly expansive game!
Seems like a great game to get high to and zone out in
They could easily merge the two Doshin into one Switch card, though they would have to change the "tinkle" into something less pelvic related. Heck, I'm afraid it's not tinkling, and I won't get any further than that.
This game is one of my favourite games
I remember playing this game for about 10 minutes with no idea wtf I was doing destroying the island and never playing again
Loved this game, played it a lot on my gamecube ! We had doshin but never got baten kaitos 2 here in europe, but I had a freeloader so i could play baiten kaitos 2, which is a great game. If only a remastered collection of baten kaitos 1 and 2 could be released on switch.
Nathanael Ribeiro a remaster would be cool but they would need a pretty big public outcry for it
I loved the freeloader, the fact that there was very little compatibility issues when playing games made it a must purchase, well unless you still had a really old tv that didn't support a 60hz refreshrate. Glad we had moved past pal systems having a slower processor in systems over here because the slower refreshrate.
I remember Doshin very well... But only its actual trophy, in Super Smash Bros Melee. I was always curious about him. It's sad that he never became relevant enough to actually appear in the Smash series again.
The ending of doshin the giant is crazy
I can kinda see this as a sort of inspiration to Black&White for the PC. Similar aspect and some bits here and there.
"Your goal is to tinkle on Doshin."
Yakko: 'Blinks at the screen.' Goodnight everybody!
*winks
This game remind me a lot of “Black and White” by Lionhead Studios back in the early 2000 for PC
Im amazed this could run on the N64, with all the ground geometry, and little AI characters, and land deformation.
And I imagine Doshin didn't look this smooth on the 64
They show it on the 64 in the video...
such a forward thinking game for the time!
The plot of this game could make a great movie.
I remember seeing the trophy for Doshin in Melee. Always wanted to play this game. Still haven't gotten the chance...
Can you do an episode about giftpia ? I remember I couldn't wait to play it but it was never released outside of japan 😭
I remember seeing this as a trophy on Smash Bros Melee and immediately thinking the giant looked cool as hell and classic Nintendo and wanted it. Just starting the video, but thank you.
This seems like a very similar premise to Black & White on the PC.
I remember this trophy back in the day in Melee
This game is actually pretty fun. I replay it from time to time.
You've got to wonder how many takes it took for the tinkle bit and not laugh. Honestly I'd probably just laugh my ass off every time.
It reminds me of that game Black and White where you controlled giant animals who could change the landscape
I wonder if this inspired 'From Dust' at all.
I remember seeing this in Nintendo Power and then nothing, I had forgotten about it until Vinesauce streamed it a while ago
Nintendo, please give us a remake of Doshin
I love this game and thought that nobody knows about it. Greetings from Germany:)
This sounded like a werner herzog documentary
I played Doshin non stop when I was 3-5 years old but I had no idea how to play so I used to move the terrain and accidentally kill the islanders and then I’d turn evil and I’d get scared. Fun times.
I love the soundtrack to this game
Would be nice if this could get on the Eshop.
very iron giant. except for the tinkling aspect.
also the whole set up in the expansion with how doshin is locked up and the environment around the "cage" is reminiscent of the 1976 king kong remake. I wonder if i'm reading into things or if i'm spot on
Would love to play this on the Switch or PC
