Also the Daikatana GBC game is freeware now: Romero released it years ago for everyone to download.
John Romero is about to make you his friend.
John Romero is about to make you RIP AND TEAR... wrong errr... can we not talk about... ok ok...
@The Dolphin Police It was once free, it stays free.
What a Chad.
i realize I am quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new series online ?
Finally, someone else talked about the Harry Potter Game Boy games! I’m not the only one anymore!!
I watched your H’y P reviews for this video, just to make sure I was coming correct!
Did you complete the card collection?
I like playing Harry Potter games on the Gameboy Advance too
I remember loving the Sorcerer's Stone on GBC until I got crushed by the Devil's Snare. Is it worth going back to?
I've been here all along too! We are not the only ones!
So Diablo Jr was basically Blizzard saying "You guys have GameBoys, right??"
Sorry... Couldn't resist. :P
Wish I saw this before I made a similar joke.
From what he said about the different versions it sounds like they got Pokemon fever. Pokemon sold an insane amount of copies for a black and white game boy game in 1996 and 1997
jmalmsten WOW I came into the comments to make this exact same joke - punctuation and all. I'm glad I looked around first. It just shows what a total meme factory Bliz has turned into
Glad I saw this before posting a similar comment.
*do you guys not have gameboys*
H'y P is the Harry Potter name a speedrunner would use when they're just mashing buttons to get to the game faster.
They would just type AAAAA over and over
@@SQUIDWORD15 Just 1 A. Takes less time for the name to appear on screen.
@@BriefDark True, but I was thinking more along the lines of Mario RPG or something where it's used as a save file name.
@@SQUIDWORD15 Ah. I was thinking of a speedrun like Pokémon lol
This channel is a blessing.
Seriously, it's too good.
As someone who actually likes little ports like these, and is always interested in portable hidden gems or just ambitious games, experimental stuff, and so on. Pretty much every video on this channel is a goldmine.
he's too excitable, as if he's talking to 5 year olds.
Of course he is, they don't call him the happy video game nerd for no reason.
@@zabrak999 you seem like a really fun guy
So much of gaming history is fascinating and quickly lost to time with the endless churn of new games, fashions and consoles. Love a channel that covers all these quirky nuances of gaming history because stuff like weird game ports were all a lot of us kids had if you had cheap/poor/ignorant parents.
@@zabrak999 why are you even here?
"It ain't tight like a Zelda"
Uh... phrasing?
Zelda is tight. Not like Peach. After Bowser, Mario is like a hotdog in a hallway.
Pitch Perfect Phrasing.

haha, came to make the exact same comment (minus the bold). Great minds my man
The early HyP games are wild! The first two books had 5 unique versions each (GBA, GBC, PS1, PC and Ps2/GC/Xbox) and each unique version was made by a different developer. The PS1 games were made by Argonaut (Star Fox) and the music for them was done by elder scrolls composer Jeremy Soule. Not to mention they're early enough to be based on the books rather than the movies so they take all kinds of weird creative liberties.
Sadly the later games were disappointing shovelware.
I could’ve sworn the first two books/movies got an N64 version, so they only got a PS1 game from that generation? You’d think Harry Potter would’ve fit incredibly well with the N64 audience.
@@AlexRN Developers and even Nintendo themselves seemed eager to leave N64 behind. In contrast, PS1 was STILL popular in 2001 (PS2 was also back compatible). Porting the PS1 version's voice acting to N64 would have been difficult too. They'd either need to cut the voices or use a large pricey cartridge, perhaps hire Factor 5 to help compress it. Probably more money than they were willing to spend.
I love that there were so many wildly different and charming HP games early on. Even the PS1 games, despite looking somewhat horrific, are super charming.
The what?
"even as a teen i wasn't down with the teens" Oh yes, this speaks to me on SO many levels!
And what about the teens who are not down with the teens? Are you down with them? xD
@@Linkale_ I'd be down with the teens not down with the teens, but what if the teens not down with the teens are also not down with people who are not teens...this is getting down lol
yup... same here
Same I just wanted to play video games and watch tv
Excellent idea for a video! Very cool episode.
No comment for you well I'll take the first I guess
Metal Jesus? Under a SSFF video? What is this, a crossover episode?
My deep feeling of responsibility to respond to a Metal Jesus comment on an HVGN video just reminds me of who I am.
Metal Jesus!!!
@@frapippo420 S’good reference.
I kinda miss the era when handheld ports would be significantly different from their console/PC counterparts (I'm not sure if "port" is even the right word for these games, they're often SO different), even if most of them weren't that great. The Japan-only 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI is the only notable game of that ilk I can think of from the last decade, though thankfully the Switch version later inherited the 2D campaign from it. I would've loved to have gotten the 3DS's low poly 3D campaign too, because I am a tremendous weirdo.
Yea... Well I mean if you really miss big games being downported to the point where its a different game there are literally thousands of examples of this on the current app stores.... Yea not something i "miss" myself....
What comes to mind are the different versions of Sims games there are for console, handheld, and PC. I actually got into the console/handheld versions before I got into the PC versions, and man were things incredibly different.
@@themadhattress5008 right.....or the sims games that are on IOS or Android.
There's thousands of people who played Pokemon and fire emblem on the phone app first. ITS EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS THIS
@referral madness its literally called a downport in the gaming industry, people have been doing this since the 1970s when the atari 2600 couldn't play faithful versions of Arcade games.
1:05
"So many gadgets and guns."
'N-Bomb'
xD
I think the Dragon Quest 3 port was pretty impressive for a gbc rpg.
Felt that
Yes, I had dragon quest 1 and 2 and 3 for game boy color. I bought them all brand new in the early 2000s. Money well spent.
I'm currently stuck in my most recent attempt to beat that game.
Probably my favorite game of all time. played thru it like 5 times
Honestly I always felt like any full length RPG games on an original Game Boy or Game Boy Color was pretty dang impressive. I mean, they had full RPGs back on the original Game Boy. The same system the super simplistic Mario Land was released for. And then GBC came along and blew those out of the water.
I had Donkey Kong Country for the GBC as a kid, i never even realized that the graphics were different from the SNES as a kid.
I had it, too! Just a shame that's the only version with the "Necky's Nutmare" level. Plus, they used music from "Donkey Kong Land" in it, which was brilliant. :)
Seeing the Game Boy Color really gives me nostalgia, I love these types of videos
Put coffee grounds on your face to grow facial hair
“Talk about UN-“
*ad begins*
“NECESSARY”
I hope this was intentional.

Crowd: Boos
Blizzard: what you guys don't have OG Gameboys!?!
I dont know if Daikantana, or the Harry Potter games for that matter, can actually be defined as a "port."
It sounds more like original games created within their respective series.
The N64 version of Daikantana was a port of the pc version.
Great video though, love these games. If you want Diablo on GBA, check out Lord of the Rings Two Towers and Return of the King. Probably worthy of a separate video.
The N64 version is kinda sorta port of the PC version in sense. Daikatana did Duke Nukem Forever and changed to Quake 2 engine almost as quickly as it came out and there exists a beta build of Daikatana that is based on quake 1 engine for the PC that some Daikatana fans (they exist) think warmly about. Turns out, N64 version was ported from that Quake 1 engine version and made closer to PC version but still include major map design differences, missing maps and so on. Graphics also are very different as PC daikatana at the end is more of a PS2 era game graphically.
In fairness; he said these are not necessarily recreation of the same game but a game that captures the spirit of the main title and still have the same title. Daikatana actually fits that perfectly as your characters actually level through it's story and they enhance your FPS gameplay abilities like speed, damage, melee strength and so on. the style DK GBC is in and even includes GBC renditions of the same music that exists for original Daikatana is also funny.
I'd have to agree. I didn't even know Daikatana GBA. Might hunt it down. Looks fun.
I Agree!
@bigevilworldwide1 So that leaves the PAL region. Which conveniently is where I am. 😁
I'm having a really bad morning so this helps
Yo dude hope it gets better, make it a great day :)

Hey man, if you ever need to talk about it, I'm here to listen! :)
Doom actually had inspirations from Zelda, to the extent of grabbing key cards and then backtracking through an area to the now unlockable door. That's what I heard, anyway.
Romero himself said that Daikatana was partly inspired by Zelda, so it's pretty fitting that its GBC port was a Zelda clone. It's pretty easy to forget that he's just as big of a nerd as John Carmack is thanks to all the macho posturing he did in that late 90's/early 2000's period. Hell, Quake started out as an RPG based on a D&D campaign the Id crew did before it mutated into an FPS.
PERFECT DARK! HE FINALLY TALKED ABOUT IT! I saw a single copy casually sitting in my Walmart's display case when I was checking out Pokemon Sapphire. I almost bought it, thought it was so bizarre, and have never heard anyone talk about it. I keep thinking he's going to talk about it on this series, and he finally did!
Man I remember loving Chamber of Secrets on the GBC. Honestly probably one of my favorite games on the system.
Me too! It was SO hard though, jeez.
@@flyforce16 Especilly the baselik figth
@@jesusramirezromo2037 Yeah the baselisk fight was really hard. I specifically remember the Aragog boss fight as giving me huge problems too. I tended to over-rely on Scabbers for fixed damage, rather than take the time to learn the type-effectiveness of the spells against different enemies.
A lot of these games I don't think can be called ports, they're too different, they're thier own games. I always called these the Mobile versions. I had one for ofdworld Munich's oddesey
yeah, the "same name, same game" doesn't really work. with that logic, sonic 06 is the same game as the original sonic the hedgehog.
This was back before mobile meant something very different. Back when Nintendo portable consoles were the only game in town and got all the attention they possibly could to get that lucrative Market.
"Adaptations" would have been a better word for the video/title to use.
@@saanait0
True. The term port is pretty specific. And these aren't ports.
These would have been called ports back in the day though. This was before portables were just home consoles and ports were accepted as having major differences between versions.
The modern use of the term port probably doesn’t apply but in the olden days nobody would’ve blinked if you used it that way
Ya know man, you really seem like you’re meant to be doing this, at least for now, I don’t know your life. But your enthusiasm appears to be very sincere, and it’s contagious. I more or less stopped playing video games, in any significant capacity, about ten years ago, but I still really love to watch your videos. So interesting and fun. Thanks dawg!
He was the Happy Video Game Nerd after all.
SkrataNe ya know I literally just found his channel right around this past Christmas so I wasn’t around for that haha, I’ve picked up on that through his own mentions though.
@@young-stove ah man you got plenty of good content to get through then
also god damn I've been watching since like 2009, where did the time go :'(
SkrataNe right down the ole time hole!
The style in this video is an interesting combo of loose talking and tight editing. The editor loved those quick closeups.
Hey, we're the audience, it's us (The audience)!
Hey all
Audience here
complains about the English translation of Daikatana, and then proceeds to say gooses. never change Derek I love you
After suggesting the Harry Potter GBC games in the comments for years, it's awesome to finally see them here! Love them!
Gameboy color games with full voice. Meanwhile Gamefreak on the Switch...
"Sometimes when capitalism and creativity cross paths, amazing things happen." Well, stopped clock is right twice a day, I suppose.
Yes look at all those creative games created by non capitalistic countries.
I guess tetris?
App store games.
@@DanteWolfwood And Tetris was made by a guy slacking off on the job and was royally fucked over by the government...
@@THB192
And yet Tetris is still better than anything EA or Activision has churned out in well over a decade.
Bro the entire industry exists because of capitalism lol
H'y P and da C of S is one of my personal favorite GBC games. Card collection system is great and gives lore from the various famous characters in the series
Out of all the retro gaming content I consume, it amazes me that there is still many topics and games that have never been covered before. This channel does just that on a regular basis. Great content!
You're criteria for Punching Weight games is one of the most perfect, magical, glorious things ever.
My gosh! Once again, I love these deep dives into the obscure! Find theme so inspirational for my own videos! Let's go muckraking!
"Don't you all have gameboys?"
Very cool transition to the daikatana footage. Love this channel. Keep it up Grace and Uncle Derrick!
Finally! Another ambitious ports video from SSFF!
I love all of your videos but the way you cover these kinds of games is so good!
Keep up the awesome work, SSFF!
I worked on a Harry Potter game in QA. Pretty sure the devs were always calling him H'y P around the office.
YO!
i have to give major props to this show now!
Stop Skeletons From Fighting has all these new cameras and the edits are way more streamlined with the narration, I LOVE IT!
GOOD WORK KEEP IT UP PROUD OF YOU
Great video. I love how you manage to get excited about everything and anything.
Hey it's Derek it's me Derek and *STOP THE SLOT-SHAMING.*
Derek, I’ve been keeping an eye on your views ever since your update video at the start of the year and I must say I’m so happy to see them getting high traffic! You and Grace are some of the most sincere and endearing creators in this space! I love the quality of your content and I’m rooting for you all the way! Keep it up, you can count on our support!
Love this channel concept and ....pretty much all videos up to this one. Great Job!!!
3:01 "Octopus Prime"?
That sounds like a bad pun you'd see on a t-shirt at an aquarium gift shop
And I know this because I actually saw that yesterday at the New Orleans aquarium gift shop.
Do they still have that huge octopus plushie there?
@@marafolse8347 I have no idea, I'm from the Dallas area and haven't left Texas since the pandemic hit (which was literally a day or two after me and my family got back from New Orleans)
@@otaking3582 oh interesting, I’m from the Austin area
@@marafolse8347 Cool
Great editing this episode. I love the Game Boy Color for its weight punching. Wild stuff on that machine.
6:54 holy sh1t, Custom Robo Soundtrack 😍😍
Glad to see within the outbreak youre still putting out quality videos! Keep it up!
Awesome video production as always. Keep up the amazing work.
Custom Robo at 6:50! You brought back a ton of memories haha. Great video.
I love your channel so much! Thanks for all the content!
That perfect Dark fpotage brought a bunch of memories back. I always remembered that game fondly but forgot how much stuff was actually in it!
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the first Gameboy Color game I ever owned and I've been waiting for it to get the Punching Weight Seal of Approval since I discovered your channel.
Loved the editing in this video! Especially at 0:23!
Great video Derek! On the topic of GBC games with Digitized speech, Spawn on GBC also has Fully Voiced Cutscenes... For some reason. I don't quite remember if it's Keith David or someone else tho
I may be the only person that noticed that you used the Tumble World theme from Cookie & Cream, but let me tell you that this is one of my favorite tracks ever and thank you so much for using it
Seeing a new SSFF video is always the highlight of my day
"I'll explain...
...explains..."
Nice one, Daikatana.
When I saw that Diablo GBC port announcement last night I knew I was in for something good. Great stuff as always!
The editing, design, and style in this video was TOP notch
You deserve so many more viewers and success from this. No matter what the attitude is at home. Your videos always make me feel welcome. You have a good soul. Hang in there.
I had the HP GBC game - honestly, what an epic adventure it was as a kid. Really enjoyed it, so much content!
Indention is the archaic version of the modern Indentation
5:57 god I’m breaking my head time and time again.
What’s the sweet sweet track playing in the background? I just can’t remember.
Chamber of Secrets was the first game I ever owned - my dad bought it in the discount bin at K-Mart literally years before we even had a compatible system just cause my family was caught up with the Potter mania. To my knowledge you're one of the only UA-camrs to cover it, thanks for looking at a really good tie-in game and something I'm hugely nostalgic for!!
Glad you showed some love to the GBC Harry Potter games. I have _very_ fond memories of playing them extensively back in the day. Even mulled over Let's Playing the first one someday. Keep being awesome, buddy! Also, I may have to seek out the GBC port of Daikatana, because I love a good Zelda-esque game. :)
Amazing production quality on this episode
When I thought youtube gaming videos could not get anymore obscure after all these years...
Great video as always!
Awesome stuff once again man!
Dude, I remember playing those Harry Potter games! So much fun! Keep it up Derek!
This channel is so good that I'm re watching videos I've seen last year. And I don't really do that.
I really miss the days of walking into a game store and seeing GBC/GBA games on the shelves. Great video as always guys, hit me right in the nostalgia bone with those Harry Potter games.
Yes!! Love seeing the Harry Potter GBC games get some love! And you are totally right about the books essentially being strategy guides for the games. If you know the books, you'll know where Gryffindor and Slytherin's common rooms are and a lot of other geographical locations of Hogwarts. If I'm not mistaken, they even include the detail that you tickle the pear on the fruit bowl painting to get into the kitchens, even if that wasn't book info until like... three books later.
What great timing, I just finished modding my Game Boy Color with an IPS backlight =)
Glad to see Harry Potter GBC getting some attention! I loved Philosopher's Stone. Never got past Quirrel's Simon Says minigame though...
The high production value in this video has me like :o
Custom Robo GameCube music...
You fucking legend. I love that game.. Such an underrated gem. 4 player back in the day was crazy fun with my two older brothers and their friends...
I've been looking for this channel, when i found it its AWESOME
oh man I loved the Gameboy Color version of Chamber of Secrets! It was so much fun collecting all the cards and playing the minigames and leveling spells! I played it two or three times over as a kid!
The GBC battles the GBASP for my favorite system all-time. I grew up with Tiger handhelds (and LOVED them, kids these days, get off my lawn!), and the jump from my beloved Game Boy to the GBC was INSANE.
My right ear definitely enjoyed this video.
The best reason to get up in the morning. ❤️
Loved it! Keep it up!
The GBC was an excellent system. Do you have any plans for the secrets of the infared sensor? The otherwise very underwhelming Mission impossible for GBC could probably fill a whole episode with all the useless junk it could do with that thing.
How the hell your comment is 1 Day old when the video was released few minutes ago? What kind of magic is it?
@@h.knight probably because he's a patreon supporter
@@chaospikes Is it possible? I mean the video is uploaded now.
@@h.knight the video was probably unlisted until a few minutes ago
I’d need to look into it! That might be a good topic but it also might mean we have to buy a bunch of equipment to test it.
I totally dug the Jumping Flash music in the background!!
Derek, don't let producer Grace out you down. No matter what anyone says you are most definitely down with the teens!
Me: It sure would be neat if they talked about the Perfect Dark GBC po-
Nevermind, instant 'like'.
Custom Robo music, this is why I love you!!
Philosopher's Stone for the color was nice. But OMG Chamber of Secrets was PERFECT, even the music.
I wasn't down with the teens in my teens either, Derek.
I loved this episode!
i really dig your videos man
“Hey I’m Derek, it’s me Derek” love it
That intro always cracks me up
That "Hello fellow kids" edit pretty much sums up why I like this channel so much
Derek and Grace... your videos make me oddly happy. Thanks.
5:10 "...trust me, it ain't tight like a zelda."
im onto you...
This is wonderful
My right ear enjoyed this
Oh man, I remember those Harry Potter games, nostalgia galore. It was fun, I think, but probably doesn't hold up if you aren't a fan.
