    [Corrections posted 10 hours after upload]: Well we said at 38:30 that we probably made some errors somewhere and y'all would point them out in comments. Y'all did, so here's two corrections.
    In the video we say the Shiren the Wanderer sub-series began on Satellaview (referring to 1995's BS Shiren the Wanderer: Save Surala). Correction: it actually started with 1995's Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer on Super Famicom. We also said Metal Slader Glory's cartridge was 8 megabytes. Correction: it was actually 8 megabits, which is equal to only 1 megabyte. Apologies for errors.

    - Shows video of an old build of a game we've never seen before.
    - People ask him to dump the files to preserve it and so others can play it.
    - He leaves, deleting accounts and becoming unreachable.
    That's the worst part of video game preservation, is when someone is just unwilling to do it. My guess is he didn't want to share because he's the one that spent something for it (in this case, other games), but he had to know what he was getting into when he shared the information online. Either that or the footage was faked and he didn't want to be called out for it.

    0:46 If you've never heard of Xevious - that was de facto the first scrolling shooter as we understand it nowadays. There were shmups before it, but all of them worked more like Space Invaders - even if they had scrolling backgrounds, your ship and enemies were fixed on screen (or games were very peculiar, like Defender or Zaxxon). All of the mechanics existed before, but Xevious was the first game to put all the pieces together, into the genre we now recognize with games like Gradius, Touhou or Ikaruga.

    The interesting thing about Kimba and Lion King is, if you actually compare the two franchises, they don't share any similarities at all. There was some inspiration, Simba being named after Kimba (though Simba might have been a word that meant something else in the culture Lion King was adapted from, which Kimba might've been named after too) but the Lion King movie and Kimba are two completely different things. The pictures and stuff you see on the internet comparing the two are actually greatly misinformed and take scenes from Kimba completely out of context (and from projects that came out after Lion King) to make the comparisons. If you actually watch Kimba, you realize that it is absolutely nothing like Lion King.

      It isn't discussed in the video but the DD was intended to be much more than a "mail-order only addon." It got reduced to that after YEARS of delays and game cancellations/cartridge ports. The hardware was essentially finalized at N64's launch but they never had the base hardware sales numbers to justify launching a big add-on.

      Cartridge is faster though; games like Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time would be quite different on floppy disk. The Expansion Pak would also be a requirement for any game to reduce the load from the floppy.
      Funnily enough, without the 64DD, games like Animal Crossing and Majora's Mask wouldn't even exist, as they track the progress of the game in real time. The fact that these games work on a cartridge the way they do is fascinating.

      Hal is extremely tight lipped about Kirby GameCube. There's mention of it in the Iwata Asks for Kirby Return to Dream Land, in which the team reveals they worked on THREE 3D Kirby games before finally starting Return to Dream Land.
      Masahiro Sakurai's video on Kirby Air Ride also reveals that he wasnt initially supposed to be involved with that game but had to step in because the team was struggling. I wouldn't be surprised if Hal struggled in general after Sakurai left, especially since the director of Dream Land 2, 3, and 64 appears to have left around the same time.

      Hey I wrote this video. I know Famitsu scores out of 40, but if I said in passing that Famitsu gave Shiren a 38, a lot of viewers unfamiliar with Famitsu's scoring system would hear that as a bad thing. Or if I said 38/40, they'd need to do math in their head, briefly distracting some viewers from what's said next, and/or wondering why the score's out of 40. Since this reference was only gonna be about 3 seconds, I decided to keep it simple by just doing the math on the viewer's behalf, converted to the conventional 1-10 scale, while showing the review onscreen so viewers who *are* familiar with Famitsu can see for themselves that the score was 38/40.
