imagine being a worker at the hentai store and always spending everyday around people who come in and buy something weird and then one day you have this absolute MADMAN walk in and ask for a copy of Lego Island
Imagine if they knew what lego island was too
@@HMSVanguard46 or imagine they knew who he is and asked for a picture
or imagine it was both 🎉
they'd probably think you were asking for lego smut ngl
“Hello sir I’m wondering if you have Lego island:gigachad:”
The director of Lego Island, Wes Jenkins, emailed me once after I shot him an email thanking him for Lego Island. After reading online how much trouble he had to convince Lego to even do a game and make it the way it is, which you can see when you play the later Lego Island trash, I just had to thank the man. He was extremely nice and courteous. He sadly passed away a few years later. Wonderful game. Art, in a way.
Rest in peace
Rest in Peace
But why did he email you

God, finding Lego Island in a hentai heaven would be the wildest thing ever
the most inocent game a very not so inocent place
@@Darth_Supaku fr
God I want to go to the game store
I wonder what the uncensored version looks like.
Also dude you don’t have to go to that much detail 4:50.
The Dutch version, while basically impossible to track down, is also a very weird case. There are some pieces of information online listing Dutch voices for Lego Eiland 1. But there's no way of checking. The thing with dutch games or media in general back then was that a lot of different versions were available for some reason. The dubbed version, original, subtitled of all kinds of media. With the boxes often barely (if at all) showing what version you were dealing with, sometimes even the wrong version in the wrong box. It happened with games, videotapes, dvd's you name it. This might be the case with Lego Eiland 1 as well. But since any version of this media is already a pain to track down, or even get working for the ones that own it, I'm afraid we might never find out. I would almost want to contact the Dutch voices if they have any memory of ever doing the game. Maybe someday.
@@ThisIsNotMyRealSelf Bingo. My dude you can do it yourself if you want it so bad.
I have no clue if it was the case for this game, but back in those days you often had a separate "flemish (belgian dutch)" and "dutch (netherlands) version for dubbed media. They're essentially both dutch, but with voice actors from Belgium and the Netherlands respectively. In more recent years it's usually a co-operative thing with a 50/50 voice actor split.
i definitely had a dutch voiced version of lego eiland 1 and 2
Lego Island 2 was dubbed in dutch.
Impossible? i own a copy of it. somewhere deeply hidden in a box at my parents place
Lost Media preserved and uploaded to the internet, as God intended.

"I've got off to that game a few hundred times. We have similar tastes!"
Lmao
I can't believe Hard-Off has its own Animal Crossing shop theme. It's just... so fantastic.
I’m from the Netherlands, and I played Lego Island as a kid a lot, I’m about 99 percent sure this game was dubbed in Dutch since there wouldn’t have been a way I had played this in English at that age. I have a copy laying somewhere around, I’ll check it out soon!
Did you check it out?
It wouldn't make sense for lego Island 1 to be in English but lego Island 2 being actually in Dutch
did you find it?
Hm
I also remember a Dutch dub. But memory is weird.
It’s... beautiful...🥺 I’m surprised you got the full box with it as well!

They guy who blocked you on twitter for simply asking a question honestly grinds my gears so much. Is it really that hard to respond with a "No, sorry"? If he had his DMs open there was no reason for him to get upset at getting one

Me, a Dutchman: *cackles in English*
Me: laughs in Belgian
On one hand I love how almost everything is fully localized in German at usually very high quality with professional voice work, but on the other hand it's very likely the reason why most Germans don't speak English all that well.
Usually you see games and movies translated to at least French, German, Italian and Spanish so I wonder if it's a similar situation in those countries. I've been to France often enough to know that English isn't their greatest strength either.
@@Thornskade And then you have us! Mostly kid games/movies get a proper and full translation. But for the most part Dutch subtitles it is.
I also get shivers down my spine when I see something dubbed into Dutch... Mostly bc of mouth movements and a too small cast of voice actors. Like one voice actor works in 5+ shows
@@zuidweg50 Same in Denmark. I notice that when I'm on vacation there. I live close to the border of the Netherlands and I'm frequently over but I haven't seen any Dutch TV that I can recall.
@@zuidweg50 oh yes exactly that, I swear there is just the one guy that does old man voices, cause they all sound the same
12:43 until I heard that "Konichiwa", I was thinking this might have been the french version
4:30 never have I lower my volume so quickly before
Strangely enough, there's a Finnish version of Lego Island 2 on the PS1 that certain databases claim to exist, but has never been found. It appears in several databases with the serial "SLES-03302", which matches closely with the serials for the other languages, but a copy has never been spotted.
yeah no lets not tell him about it before he digs the entire nation out of the ground searching for it
That is because Finland doesn't exist.
Finland was never real. Finland is just in your imagination.
Maybe the real Finland were the friends we made along the way.
Must be rare.
I have this old box with the dutch version of lego island laying in my closet and when I look at it I think of you.
Wait, I commented that before I watched the video. I've had it for years lmao. I wish I had known you were looking for it.
Lego Island two was a blast, but for nostalgia I still prefer the first Lego Island. It was one of my first video-games.
Ja
Is it really in English? As the wiki for Pepper's Dutch voice actress says she did the first game as well
@@HuigbertsGamed I honestly haven't opened the box in probably like 10 years, but I assume it's the same mattkc had.
I could probably check, but I don't really know what I'd be looking for

"I'm not gonna Nick Robinson it"
**Proceeds to make a whole Nick Robinson video, fake out included**
There's no sexual harassment so, can't be a true nick robinson vid
@@ExtraThicccexcuse me, what?
@@imaguyyesmale In 2017 Nick Robinson sexually harassed so many women that Polygon had to fire him. To this day he has alt accounts he uses to harass the victims and people who know what he did, and downplay the severity of what he did.
7:21 Perhaps this is the source of looping music in video games? Japanese people hear soundtracks in specific rooms in real life, seems natural to add them to rooms in games too (whereas in early British games, music was reserved for title screens and such, as this was the standard for films and TV).
Films have had soundtracks for way longer than video games, hadn't they?
@@Thornskade I mean per-room looping music specifically.
Might have had an influence but also early games had a hard limit on the amount of data reserved for music and sound, so looping just made sense.
@@Kholaslittlespot1 But by that logic it'd make more sense to limit music as a whole to battles and title screens rather than to make idle music for towns and whatnot.
I’m not pirating a game, I’m just preserving it.
Correct, we are preserving it.
yeah, I'm only pirating DOOM Eternal for preservation reasons. I swear it isn't only a few months old

You might be joking, but I know people actually believe this stuff. All nuance gets thrown out the window as a result.
@@juliewinchester1488 lmao anything made by a big company i pirate because i dont want to support the consoom mindset
I find it ironic that Hard Off's store music is very reminiscent to the music you'd hear when at a market section in a video game.
Yeah, it gives me mad Nintendogs vibes.
9:51 You are not in the wrong and don’t act like it. They guy probably just thought you were a scammer. That being said I hate people like that cuz I have had my own personal projects spoiled by people who’ve found the solution but refuse to help.
Seriously half of the collectors are greedy
Things MattKC has done to bring us LEGO Island content:
- Make multiple attempts at modifying a proprietary audio format
- Tinker around in assembly code to fix a bug that the developers couldn't because of Mindscape firing them at the last second
- Brave Japan's fascinations for catgirls and h- _Wait,_ *_WHAT THE-?!_*
Congrats on finally getting a copy dude!
This reminds me a lot of a similar journey I went through when I was in high school in Japan. I was trying to track down all of the Japanese versions of Bungie's pre-Halo games, and it culminated in me visiting the actual office of the localisation company, called Attain, who translated Bungie's early titles. I couldn't believe my eyes when they handed me new-old-stock copies of some of those games, it was a magical moment for me.
Btw you're totally right about HardOff, I used to go to the one in Akiba once every two weeks or so and spent about 2 - 3 hours combing through every last bin of CDs and carts looking for games that weren't about pachinko or horse racing. Totally worth the back pain.
5:11 i would absolutely go to that store for that reason alone
Don't forget the bleach lol
How about close the store and just get rid of every cat girl thing. And go there to buy their dreamcast feels like putting all those cat girls in a store might have made a lot of Simps feel happy do you have the same opinion
I love the overworld theme playing in the Hard-Off. The encounter rate is low there though, so it makes sense you never got to hear the battle theme.
11:01 God damn Voldemort, slowing international transport.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
he kept running around using avada kedavra on pilots smh
strangely enough, Lego Island 2 *does* have a dutch translation
I played that game to bits
Looking forward to Matt's next video in which he buys a hundred copies of Lego Island from the Netherlands, hoping that one of the discs will be the translated version.
*gekoloniseerd*
@@ugh.idontwanna if he wants it, I have it and don't need it anymore, never got it working on modern hardware so if it's for preservation I'd be happy to share it with him
I feel this is important to get up to the top.
Of course the music is a loop: it's like a shop in an old video game.
"Japan kind of doesn't do PC Games. Well they do but really only one kind..."

Yes! I’m actually so happy for you, feels like something’s been accomplished for everyone to benefit from. I’m amazed at how good the condition of the box is as well, you’ve snagged a real prize there man!

Finding Lego Island in a Hentai Game Store is like finding a laptop at a McDonald's.
We need the Japanese version of "Whoops! You have to put the CD in your computer."
I like how the Hard-Off in-store song sounds like something in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
It'd fit really well in LEGO Island
Reminds me of Nintendo's own virtual store OSTs. Like the Wii and Wii U shops?

How did the other guy in twitter reaced when you told "I got it!"?
Classic Windows PC gaming in Japan has always interested me, since I am super into that era of PC games. Lots of interesting stuff that isnt "that" kind of Japanese PC games, like tons of Falcom games and Japan-exclusive PC ports of console games (usually also exclusive to Japan). Korean PC game collecting is also interesting for that reason.
I was always curious how big the community is for Japanese gamers interested in the much larger classic PC gaming market from the 90s and 2000s that Europe and the United States had, like kind of how so many people are interested in classic Japan exclusive console games that never left it.
Also the fact that Japan has locations with their own area-BGM just doesnt even seem surprising to me.
I wonder what happened to cause Japan's PC games industry to be entirely associated with games that they couldn't get on to consoles because of the.. catgirls...
Finally a person with an obssession of Lego Island that surpasses my own 🤣 I finally have a PC capable of playing it well 🥰
Bro I'm sure my microwave can run that game well. I'm sure it must be hard to find a system it doesn't run well on.
@@Vitoreo maybe they mean a computer that runs the game the same way as it did when it was released and not modern hardware
@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fair
This. This is how you do preservation. You're a testament to the craft.
OMG the Nick Robinson reference had me laughing to death! I love it when UA-camrs I watch mention others I watch it makes it feel like a connected eco system
Honestly, I've lived as an expat in Japan for 4 years now, been aware of Hard Off but didn't actually know what it was... So, you taught me something and I guess I'll need to start making regular trips there.
The dude who did the voice acting for the red baseball cap guy in the Japanese version (12:43) also did the voice acting for Vice Principal Uchiyamada in Great Teacher Onizuka (one of my personal favorite animes). I just found that to be funny and interesting. Great vid!!
My god, Windows 98 PC is finished and you finally make a return to lego island content! It's a Christmas miracle.
I don't know if this is still the case but back then nearly every game that came out in the The Netherlands had Dutch packaging but just the regular English version as the game. Except for Black & White, I actually remember being upset about it because the Dutch voice acting was so cringy.
Lego racers was fully translated, box and game
I think it's a matter of the market being just too small. I remember it being major news at the time that Lufia II got a Dutch translation, that was basically unheard of for a game of that size. It happened *rarely*, especially in games that weren't explicitly aimed at the childrens' market. Ubisoft did do *some* localisation in the early 2000s. the Sands of Time games had a Dutch UI, and Beyond Good and Evil had a full Dutch voice cast that was... acceptable, given the standards at the time.
Sony translated a lot of their games to dutch in the ps3 generation (at least compared to other companies)
You have my lifetime respect for using a S3RL's song
7:26 So it has a theme that plays and loops all day... That sounds maddening.
12:32 YT detected the black screen and inserted an ad for cyberpunk 2077, meaning the first thing I saw was an PEGI 18 splash screen
i've never laughed this hard at an ad before

7:28 Actually in the West we used to have places that played their own OSTs too all day, but it was phased out as decades went by, most big places just play top 20 songs nowadays. I miss the old Price Chopper and Biway soundtrack 😶
Kudos for the joy you have and spread with such obscure topics - and - moreover - making it into public goodies ❤
This was my favorite PC game back in the day!!! So nostalgic watching the gameplay footage. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
5:55 idk why but it's always exciting to me to see a Toyota bB (or it's american counterpart) just randomly in a video as someone who owns a Scion xB, even if the video is on a completely different subject
Loved the vid, personally not really interested in lego island but your videos really make it interesting, so much so that I've watched them many times over.
4:32 just blasted that thro my speakers, thank you very much
I revisit this video every so often just to hear Matt say "I didn't Nick Robinson it." Always cracks me up :D
I love how the Infomaniac's speech at the beginning is exactly the same, even starting with the English "Hello!" (and, of course, pronouncing "konnichiwa" correctly).
Maybe this installer, that errors when your computer isn’t old enough is their solution to the steering problem.
5:26 -- I actually went to that exact Book-Off store, and got a working PSP-3000 for cheap, a working PS1 for around A$5, and a PS2 memory card. Japan is one of my favourite places to shop for electronics, and honestly I'd love to go back some day.
I clearly remember playing this game, along with other Lego games! (I also grew up in Denmark and my uncle worked for Lego) The discs might even be laying around somewhere still... Your videos are really good. This was lovely!
Make a video about modding a Lego Island or other game into an "ultimate game" with your skills
Weird new dream: I want to go to Hard-Off
I really enjoy just how dedicated you are to LEGO Island. How about alphas, betas, and other pre-release/development versions? Do you ever try and track those down?
