    Due to no internet back in the day we knew the Konami Code as the Bad Attitude Code! A-Team was big back in that day & we recited the opening narration with a few tweeks! A crack commando unit keeps on dying on a level they didn't complete. if you have a problem & no one else can help they came up with the Bad Attitude Code!
    Maybe you can put in the BA Code! (Because the Konami Code ended with buttons B&A) This code help relieve your bad attitude of not going far & made the game fun again!

      Yeap, and some of those programmers formed Activision. And then we came full circle and most of the biggest game companies are back to screwing their programmers compared to similarly skilled workers in other industries. I have a friend who is an Aeronautical Engineer and they DO get overtime pay if they have to "crunch" for example.

    There was a slight mistake in the original Final Fantasy where there was a point in the lower continent that intruded into the northern part of the outside map. At this point stronger enemies like Frost Wolves and Frost Giants would appear earlier in the game then they were supposed to. Square Soft or Square Enix didn't correct that mistake in a lot of remakes to it on other systems.

    Can we add the "RPGs are too hard for Americans." is the reason we missed out on many great rpg games. Its ironic since the snes 10 list has 7 of them.

      @MrVariant 17 дней назад +1

      Lol go play 7th saga. That was made even harder for the US. I remember renting it and learning they did that for more genres to fight rentals which were illegal in Japan 🤣. Let alone a lot of rpgs are full of useless moves like Marle's aura combos in chrono trigger when items healed more and slurp kiss healed status and more hp. Ff6 psycho cyan bug or taking a whole menu screen for slow charging bushido was insane too.

    • @KasumiRINA

      I'll bite that. Actually Europe got one, it was Final Fantasy USA (japan name), us called it final fantasy Mystic quest, and EU called it Mystic quest legends. Lufia 2 was called just Lufia in Europe, and Europe got the 3rd quintet action rpg game terranigma (soul blazer and illusion of gaia/time) trilogy that us missed out.
      Now this is important as most get this wrong, the us Final Fantasy II is not Final Fantasy IV but actually an updated version of Final Fantasy IV easy type. Yes they made the same game 3 times.
      Yes, I'm very aware of 7th saga difficulty....as well as Working Designs. Happy they released many rpgs, not happy how they handled them...and #### you Ted Woosley...

    Apparently in the fine print of the Sony deal was that Sony would get 100% of the sales. Nintendo tried to renegotiate because that was insane, Sony said no, and that's when Nintendo was like "Fuck this, we'll work with your biggest competitor" Then when the Sega CD didn't do well, Nintendo decided to abandon the project entirely.

    I have a complete in box OG 1975 vintage Tele-Games / Atari home Pong console (which isn't actually worth much money). Just for fun I took it to Gamestop and "tried" to trade it for a PS4. We all had a good laugh. I also have a Channel F but haven't tried it. I love the history but anything that came before the 2600 has my respect but the actual gameplay is too archaic for my tastes. The 2600 is a NEO-GEO compared to the Channel F and a PS5 Pro compared to the RCA Studio II.

      It wasnt called DLC and obviously wasnt a download. It was called a (insert content describing word) disc. Test Drive 2 in 1989 had 2 car discs (like Forza does today).

    14:38 SONY won two and survived its third generation by their consoles being often bought as CD/DVD/Blu-ray player at the time those were still expensive. A CD changer would be much more expensive than a PS1, and PS2 was released at the time DVDs were a luxury.
    In SEGA section you mentioned their blunders during PlayStation release, but they made Dreamcast later, and it was legit amazing being the ONLY truly next gen console before PS2. Hell, it had keyboard and internet support, they packed it with features that weren't appreciated, when people bought PS2 as a DVD player.
    32X and Sega CD were WTF things, Saturn made the mistake of being released in the generation where PSX curbstomped everything (NOBODY I know had N64 in my country) and when they had an actually good console that was ahead of the competition they blundered the marketing, and make same mistake with proprietary GDI disc format Sony themselves did with PSP's UMD.
    When you say "I miss SEGA" I remember getting Dead or Alive 2 for sadly now late friend's birthday, and we played SoulCalibur, Sonic Adventure and Zombie Revenge together, it was absolutely like NOTHING else at the time.

    11:04 It's correct that people who don't have DLC characters IN AN ONLINE GAME still need to have the files downloaded on-disc so people who bought it won't be gated from fighting those who haven't, the WTF thing here is that they were already bundled on disc ON RELEASE! The way Tekken does DLC, is bringing new characters in an update, when everyone downloads their files but only those who paid for extras (which cost money to produce) will be able to play AS those characters. But they will be able to play against them regardless... Because the entire point of DLC is updating game post-launch and not cutting away stuff to sell it separately. Which on-disc DLC is, apart form Lei & others in SFxT, notably Mass Effect 3's From Ashes. Always intended as part of main game, changed to deluxe preorder bull because EA.
    P.S. Tekken obviously better than Street Fighter but Harada with his crap is annoying as hell, and toxic fandom, I still remember them attacking anyone mocking Heihachi being TOTALLY dead now when he was the obvious first DLC... and Bamco is still bad for cutting characters to make them DLC, which is usually the same guys getting cut every other game. It also messes with muscle memory since cut character moves are usually inherited by remaining ones, and then on re-introduction we get like a completely different Kunoichi or Armor King that doesn't play like himself anymore since his entire moveset was merged into new king in 3.

    When the Sega Genesis came out, the slogan was “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” because it was competing with the original NES.
    When the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released, the Sega USA marketing gurus came up with the buzz phrase “blast processing”. There are still idiot Sega fanboys who think that the Sega Genesis really has “blast processing”. Why didn’t Sega mention “blast processing” from the very beginning? More like “talking out of their ass processing”.
    I’m not crapping on the legacy of the Genesis. It has its fair share of great games. Nobody can take away anyone’s enjoyment of said great games. But overall, Nintendo made a system that had superior capabilities with the SNES over the Genesis.
