The Satellaview is such an insanely fascinating concept. It's crazy that this is just a relic of the 90's, but it feels like really good marketing and a great way to break the 4th wall and add extra immersion.
Genuinely ahead of its time
To me it shows Nintendo was always quite a adventurous company, and that things that were experiment in the West like the WII or 3-D gaming were kinda usual experiences in Japan.
@@zandernewson9933 I don’t think it’s that deep. Japan is a small pretty homogeneous island, they have different problems to tackle than a lot of western countries, so they have different priorities. For instance the cost to make electronics is probably pretty decent. Proximity and relations to china means that they could put in a lot infrastructure for that sort of thing, we’re not getting electric toilets here in the UK anytime soon for instance. When you’re not focused on the same things as a culture you will have investments into other areas and there are probably a bunch of amenities that make your life here in the west a worthwhile sacrifice for satellite gaming
Even ahead or on par with the Dreamcast
The live broadcast aspect of it is neat. Gaming Live streams of today could be used instead perhaps, if a game dev wanted to do something similar for the modern age
the tingle game gives me a similar vibe to wario games, it looks exactly up my alley definitely gonna check it out
It's pretty good, you should definitely check it out.
@@Tingle457 I'll take your opinion with a grain of salt but thank you
Tingle’s balloon trip of love is a really weird point and click adventure that adds a dating sim mechanic halfway through. Really charming! Does get kinda boring in some parts like most adventure games though.
@@zacharynovak2180 I agree, while I found Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland consistently boring, but I played a bunch of Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love and had a decent time. However perhaps adventure games aren't my thing because I eventually got bored playing it as well so I ended up watching Vinesauce's playthrough in the background while I did other things. That was fun, especially cause Vinny voices the characters so you don't have to have your eyes glued to the screen.
@@pestydesperado8771at first I thought you were being a dick then I realized 😂😭
I never expected Tingle to be both a sex symbol and a state of being
I did.
This is definitely the first time someone has ever said that sentence.
The fact this sentence exists and is somehow descrpitvely accurate gives me psychic damage.
Getting a girlfriend = sex symbol
The game wasnt released outside Japan because Nintendo feared the reaction of the American market.
Sight .... as always Americans ruin everything
Perfect comment
Those Tingle games are the Zelda equivalent of Wario games
We need a game were Wario and Tingle team up. Unfortunately Switch games are usually less experimental than in those DS times.
If anyone here has ever played "moon: Remix RPG Adventure", "Chulip", "Captain Rainbow" or "Giftpia" you should definitely give the Tingle games a try. It carries all of the same vibes and humor.
Love-de-Lic
The Music from Ancient Stone Tablets was released on CD as "The Legend of Zelda: Sound & Drama" which functions as an official soundtrack for LTTP as well.
Really? I think I have that CD somewhere! Need to check it out.
And theyre awesome. I count it as canon to that era of Zelda before Nintendo started making it all generic medieval bullshit.
@23:50
"more than the more than the" xD
I'm very surprised they never let you turn the Pegasus boots freely in future titles, makes traversal seem like a blast.
couldve sworn you could do it in the gamecube game Four Swords Adventures
@@spimbles you can i just played through the main campaign. Was a nice feature
We got the bunny hood
"Should we check to see if BS means anything in English? Like maybe inuendo, or perhaps a word for something absurd?"
"What?! No! I had to memorize 1200 English vocabulary words and 200 sentence fragments for my final exam in High School. We got English covered!"
You know the sad thing about the Statellaview games is that theoretically, they could be remade as far back as the Nintendo DS and Wii. I doubt Nintendo would ever bother with direct ports when they could use the internet to re-create the broadcast aspect.
@@shiftfire4511 pretty sure distribution rights have a set date for their validity
and the concept was remade with the Download Play aspect.
This concept wouldn't work nowadays. Just look at how On Demand video streaming has deminished live broadcast TV.
@@jesusramirezromo2037 Not to mention that Nintendo are notorious for being copyhoarders. Just because they gave someone else distribution rights doesn't mean it's exclusive rights. The main rightsholder is the only one who gets exclusive rights in copyright law, at least American copyright law. That said, I have no reason to believe that this is different in Japanese copyright law as it's a universal fact that copyright law primarily came to exist for the benefit corporations more than anyone else. After all, the predecessor to copyright law was draconian regulations on the printing press.
@@RealRomplayer Broadcast TV was replaced by live streaming. Let's not pretend that in this day in age they're not functionally the same thing. Especially when you have to have scheduled streams just to get a following in that scene (I'm mean having a schedule is a necessity for UA-cam as well I've found, unless you're already immensely popular anyway).
Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land has been the most bizarre game I've ever played. But it is such a good game. I won't spoil anything, but I really like the message. Beyond all that goofy gameplay lies a very thought provoking, deep and serious message.
You should check out the fan translation of the second game! It’s different but equally weird and has some really great characters! And a dating sim mechanic for some reason.
Hey, 35 year old male here. I can confirm that tingle is in fact a state of being in which we are all susceptible.
I turned 35 last year and first thought was "Dear god, I'm the same age as Tingle..."
Now I'm 36, help!!!
When you get around that age, you realize that you're basically just screwed. It's all downhill from there.
@@lilwyvern4 I turned 41 this year and can confirm that yes....sadly that is true 😓😓
I'm gonna go through my 30s soon and I'm afraid of opening any Atlas, because I may develop an insatiable appetite for cartography.
I can no longer visit carnivals or traveling circuses, because balloons may become triggering for me.
I may not be able to stave off this condition for much longer though - somebody saw me walking down the sidewalk last week, and yelled from their car "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT THIS FAIRY"
So clearly my transformation has begun
@@Atylonisus🤷🏼♂️welp, there where no alternatives 😂
Finding out that the Tingle games were developed by the Dillon devs and actually sound really wacky and interesting makes me really want to play them now
I think the Balloon Trip of Love definitely should have come out here. Values being damned, it sounds like a funny game.
Originally I was going to go with the initials for Babysitter, but then I'd be going around with a big "BS", and you understand why I couldn't do that.
Navi/Tetra's Trackers is amazing, even without knowing Japanese! Feels really similar to the original 4 Swords (the GBA one), and it provides adorable pixel art of Wind Waker characters! Heck, even the 3D model for Sue-Belle is slightly different from the one in original game. Had to look for the ROM everywhere, but managed to find it eventually, and am I glad I did!
Ancient Tablets is pretty fun as well, it really is a Second Quest of ALttP,if only in a slightly smaller scope.
Its like a non Turn based Zelda-Mario Party with City Trail Elements
"We're gonna make up a Zelda game on the fly."
"So you're gonna BS Legend of Zelda?"
Never understood people who hated Tingle, sure he's kind of annoying but people act like he killed Link's grandma or something. Was pissed that none of the Tingle games made it to America because they look fun
One has to understand: gamers are the worst. The absolute worst. In the 90s and early 2000s, gamers spent most of their time trying to make sure videogames made them look, in their mind, “tough” and “cool”. Games like earthbound, Kirby and Tingle did not pass the muster as being “tough enough” to feed their need to affirmation of their manliness.
@JazGalaxy even if the game play isn't that fun the idea of a game about a fat 35 year old loser sounds hilarious, and sadly Tingle games were new when gaming went through its worst edgy phase.
They really should add more of the satellaview and 64DD titles to switch. It would take effort and translation but it would make switch online feel much more worth it.
Sadly, if they can't even get the GameCube library up there, anything more obscure than that Nintendo will not even bother with.
I quite like how bizarre tingle is there are bizarre people in real life that we have to deal with all the time jingle is a minor version of that in a game where we see far more fantastical things.
Can anyone explain how people were able to obtain the Sattelaview games if they were only just broadcasted? I never understood this part.
The SatellaView cartridge had a separate mini cartridge that acted like a microSD would on modern Flash Carts. The broadcasted ROM, of which there where many broadcasts over single game like Zelda, would be saved on thee mini cartridges.
These cartridges were expensive, other than the few that came with the SatellaView, so most where just overwritten with the next broadcast. Except for a few rich fans who actually kept their downloaded copies.. To be archived by yet more dedicated fans later..
@@Dong_Harvey Thank you for your explanation! I was puzzled too.
Before I say anything, let's give MUCH respect to DYKG for just saying _"screw standards and practices, preservation is king, you can find the roms right here."_
BS Zelda games is *RIGHT.* The Satellaview games intact with voiceovers, etc. are forever a hole 🕳 in my nearly complete SNES Played Game List.
But with the advent of Private Servers (we can play Mario Kart DS even still online thanks to them) becoming much cheaper and more common, reverse engineering, and massive leaks over the years, we may one day stand a chance to play an English broadcast - and you can count on me to be there the first run when it does - because you never know how quick Nintendo will Skyward Strike it down.

It’s kinda odd seeing Zelda games get spin offs about the side characters as they never happen
what does that mean in English?
I miss DYKG Extra. It's interesting to see information like this, but it's hard to get excited about games that we never got, especially if the reason is just that it never got translated. The deep dives are good too, but I miss the trivia (hence beginning with "Did you know?").
Recently saw a Satellaview at a book off in kyoto for ¥40,000
Its such an amazing thing that breaks my idea of what was supposed to be possible to implement on the snes. Almost anachronistic and out of its time.
I honestly prefer "Uncle Rupee", I think it gives off a garbage dump owner with ties to the mob vibe.
There's even another Japan-only Tingle game Vanpool made, Dekisugi Tingle Pack for DSiware which is a collection of a few minigames and a calculator and fortune teller and stuff!
Tingle titles on the DS are both very funny, interesting and unique. I enjoyed the first one throughly in my younger days and feel like trying the second. BS titles were great as well, very fond memories of those. Four Swords seemed amazing but I never got the chance.
U never mentioned that the only reason this came to fruition was that gunpei yokois grandfather was on the board of st. Giga and arranged the deal
I'm glad to see Region Locked content hasn't completely disappeared from the channel
I hope if they do another Region Locked episode, they'll do it on "Ash: Archaic Sealed Heat".
Hope Peebs sees this, good Zelda month ideas.
i never really hated tingle, he was just weird to me. "This is a character that exists" sort of thing. Not like i would avoid him, in MM i will happily buy maps and in Hyrule Warriors he is a pretty neat character to mess around with.
I love this "America Never Got" series. Please make a compilation video sometime!
Four swords adventures is my fave game in the series, a 4 player co-op zelda game. This was my summer vacation of 2006, me & 3 friends teaming up & occasionally fighting one another❤️
my step siblings were in town the summer it came out, and staying out of the california heat to beat four swords is a very cherished memory for me:)
Tingle gets 2 games and Waluigi still hasn't gotten 1 smh. Wouldn't surprise me if Tingle gets into the next Smash and Waluigi still doesn't. Not to mention poor Geno who's been in limbo since the 90's.
Tingle appeared since Melee.
Having played Navi trackers myself both in Japanese, with the fan English patch, And then with that English patch updated by a friend of mine because good Lord the original release of it is rough, I can say it's some of the most fun I've had with friends in a long time and it's a shame it never came west
Hearing that Nintendo actually gauged the American audience whether they should localize Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland in America, and the majority of people actually said NO? Man, I'm so disappointed in my home country sometimes. Tingle has always been a hilarious enigma to me, and I would've loved to play these games as a kid.
I got both Tingles Game EU release at a Anime Convention in the US for fairly cheap back in the day. They were fun and i still got them lol
"Click on the Link below, and now back to zelda"
That was the one chance to talk about 2 different links here :D
I've always really liked Tingle as a character because of how weird he is.
Tingle from Majora's Mask + Balloon Fight? Lol. I loved the OG Game Boy Balloon Fight game, I think it was called Balloon Kid? It made Balloon Fight into a side-scrolling platformer game and it was really cool, I was always bummed that series didn't live on, so it's weird to see a Tingle version.
23:49 - 23:51 I think you forgot to cut a "more than the."
I'm always astonished how most of the americans live in a bubble and doesn't know that there are games which are called classics in Europe and Japan, but either only a handful knows them in the US or those getting unjustified called bad.
For example *Terranigma* is such a beautiful game and has lots of fans in Europe! Despite its flaws in its leveling system it has one the most beautiful soundtracks, gorgeous graphics, such a rich world full of stuff to discover, a fun fighting system and a stunning story rivaling Chrono Trigger and FF6. But I've heard several people in the US calling "Illusion of Gaia" better since they grew up with it and that's kinda unfair just to see things through rose-colored glasses.
Well, "Illusion of Gaia" is the same as 'Illusion of Time', the Quintet game released in different regions. Terranigma was the last Quintet game and not released in the NA region sadly, even though there was that English version because of the UK. But, its of course playable because of the internet and emulation.
My assumption with the Marvelous assets isn't that it was necessarily a retooling, but perhaps just a cut reference, where they would appear alongside the Zelda parts as sort of guest characters
I think Americans voted against a Tingle game because they weren't aware it was already made. Had they known Japan had this fully realized game completed, they might have been more open to playing it. It was also different times back then. The more niche games really flew under the radar for most people and there wasn't much demand for them.
I remember when I took that survey and the Zelda fans on Nsider (Nintendo's forums) were FURIOUS that people answered honestly and said they weren't interested in it.
Link to the past has such powerful nostalgia in my mind, I could never play an alternative version of it and sully the memories I have of it
sad we never got any of the Tingle games released over here. i hear there's fan translations of some of them but im not really sure on that
Missed opportunity to feature Guru Larry in the name of his “Yanks can’t wank” series.
I love the idea of games that connected the Game Boy Advance to the Gamecube to give a unique multiplayer experience, but I bet it wasn't easy to get all the hardware needed to play with friends.
Not really. Virtually every Nintendo fan owned a GBA, and you already had the Gamecube, so all you needed was a few link cables.
it wasn’t too tough with my friend groups :) very unique and fun experiences. gamecube era was absolutely goated
Tingle can only raise a woman's affection thru the giving of gifts in the form of cash.
Well at least Tingle understands how love works
Wouldn’t any game with Tingle as the main character be a horror game automatically?
10:41 to SKIP the ad
Should have been called "unreleased Tingle games" as it was mainly Tingle games.
Any game with Tingle is horror. What a vile creation
Indeed, imagine that your very destiny is to become Tingle. *shudder*
The concept used in the BS games, the live streaming serial nature, sounds like it would be really cool and amazing now.
I would have loved to have tingle in Twilight Princess
I like to imagine every Japan exclusive is to punish Americans for the A-bomb. Rightfully so.
I wonder what the "BS" stood for. Surely it stood for something...
Broadcast Satellaview
@@lewiscollins3984 ...I should have seen that one coming a mile away...sometimes my own stupidity astounds me.
@@tuftedmocha7994 is OK I couldn't figure it out either I'm foxbrained
Man wouldn't it be crazy if they brought back the B's Zelda engine, let you have custom characters, put different items in different dungeons every week, and then add add co/op and/or pvp and you have a pretty sick mmo!
Not to get off subject but I seriously love the pumpkin orange GameCube for some reason
Tingle out here mauling animals to the bone
I had no idea about the Satellaview. Now I'm gonna have to get those games (copies rather) to complete my Japan region Zelda collection.
I know you can't hear Link make noises in your video, but I swear every time I see you or whomever is playing.for your video, I hear the hurt noise Link makes. With all these great things Japan came out with in terms of video games, you wonder how those workaholics find time.
As both an American AND a Zelda fan (it’s my fave series EVER), I want to beat these games some day!!!
I'm sure you could find fan translated ROMs of these somewhere
Or at least I hope they're out there
I'm still kind of sad they never brought the two Tingle DS games to America. I mean, I get why. A lot of American fans hated Tingle while Japan adored him. Never hated Tingle personally. He's got some charm and humor as a character. I did get to play the romance themed one. It was a hilarious game.
It's pretty obvious that with those Tingle games they jumped into Mario's territory, one of those balloon modes reminds me a lot on the moon level in Mario Land Golden Coins, and Tingle being obsessed with rupees is pretty much a direct copy of Wario, which is super sad because it defeats Tingles actual legacy, being someone that has outgrown fairytales (Peter Pan)
aye the sword icon that shows next two "Hero's Shrine" looks just like the one in zelda 1's player manual. the one that came with the game. Anyone else see that?
alternative title: "EVERY Tingle Game America Never Got"
My life is filled with Audio Drama...
22:31 dream on, we will never get official localization of mother 3
This video just reminds me of Roo from Clan of the grey wolf and his 16-bit gems episode on BS zelda, who made the episode like 5+ yrs ago
I would love an HD remake of Four Swords Adventures, alongside the fully dubbed sidemode that came with the OG Japanese release (Tetra's Trackers)
they're not ZELDA games they're TINGLE games
do NOT disrespect Tingle again
17:18 "The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls was actually a game which has its engine adapted from an earlier entry into The Legend of Zelda series: Link's Awakening"
Not true. Despite all reports in the west claiming so, there's no evidence Link's Awakening shares any code with this game. I think this would be an interesting topic for you guys to investigate.
Despite the same text font and sound effect?
@@ikagura Yes, Link's Awakening font was used in the unofficial translation but the Japanese font is different. What sound effect do you mean?
They’re VERY much so playable on original hardware. Either with a flash cart OR “reproduction” PCBs. I’ve produced hundreds of copies of ZAST over the years, with a number of different PCBs and ROM revisions.
second quest in OG zelda is also unlocked immediately by choosing "zelda" as your save files name.
At 22:29 you can see someone leaving behind a comment on how they'd happily buy the game but then proceed to ask about Mother 3. Lol classic hilarity.
I just find it funny that Tetra’s Trackers is basically a Wii U game on the GameCube.
The other way around. The Wii U games are basically games with the GBA gimmick.
@@AarturoSc I mean it in the sense one ‘player’, being Tetra having the whole map while the others have a much smaller view.
It’s pretty much Mario Chase from _Nintendo Land_ in reverse.
More Zelda content please! This was incredible! Amazing research!!
Tingle needs to be a character in smash bros
Just incredible, the level of research and attention to detail from this channel is astounding
12:13 Am I the only one who thinks Tingle looks kinda similar to Filthy Frank?
24:00
NONSENSE, TINGLE IS A STATE OF BEING, IT'S AN ENTITY MORE POWERFUL THAN LEISURE LARRY.
"The upcoming main game Twilight Princess" oh boy can't wait for it's release!!
Nintendo tryna he kid friendly but was making gambling cards for the Yakuza back in the 1800’s
The tingle games plots remind me something wario would star in.
I was trying to figure out the bs loz games recently. I’ve been trying to complete all the loz titles. The BS games were the only two i hadn’t ever heard of before I started this venture, which was surprising because I’ve been playing loz since I could hold a controller. Looks like I’ll have to get an emulator to complete my list lol
The tingle balloon trip of love games are a reason why I go "kwee kwee" to my pets
Also I first saw balloon trip of love thanks to vinesauce, his streams of this game where the most funniest I've seen
We really need a rerelease of all the Satellaview games
It's funny that here in our country Tingle in colloquial means clitoris.
I’d love to play BS the Legend of Zelda. I found a page where someone has ostensibly put the game up but I have no idea where to even begin
Guy 1: Hey did you hear that there's Legend of Zelda games that never came out to the US
Guy 2: *scoffs* , BS...
Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love is actually one of the best games I'd ever seen. I love the story for it a lot, and it's very unique. It's too bad it never got a NA release.
I watched Vinny Vinesauce's videos for it. I recommend doing so if you don't plan on playing it.
Although, I have to say, I never was interested in Tingle until I watched that series, and now I wish I had just played the game myself.
I'll save you all 30 minutes. 0:17 is fake.
7:44
Font used: Reggae One
The first Zelda game you mentioned, I'm able to €muIate on my Wii. I never got that opening screen picture. Maybe it's different depending on who's putting it out there for other to play.
22:33 man that's a desperate request there
I spilled my drink at 13:39. That rupee is such high quality compared to the rest of the game it was distracting.
Emulator displaying polygonal graphics in higher resolution. Looks out of place here...
@@cube2fox I assumed it was due to the emulator, it was just funny to see.
