Re: Sonic 3D Blast - In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on SNES, the Chris Houlihan room is basically the same thing, if you would get sent to an invalid area, you get sent there instead. They're both error catchers. I'm sure there are plenty of other games with similarly disguised error catchers, too.

Your channel and also Gamehut are uniques!! congrats!!
Another one: The fifth generation Pokémon games have infrared built in to connect between them. That was a way to ensure that you are trading/battling using real cartdriges, since flash carts lack that feature.
You can use the infrared interface in white/black to trade or battle. But you can also use the standard wireless connection without a infrared connection.
Luke Whitsell I was being an obvious bullshitter and tried to ensure people knew I wasn't being serious by mentioning Blockbuster. The only Blockbuster open is in Alaska I think.
Just want to mention that I like your topics. I like videos that focuses on more obscure things in gaming in general, there is already a million videos out there covering the most generic within modern and retro gaming. Going through more undiscussed topics is always more entertaining.
I found the sonic one myself, a book fell onto the Megadrive, unlocking the level select. Didn't realise it was ment to happen. Their was also a code for level select, b,a,r,r,a,c,u,d,a when paused.
Most likely not. It's probably hard-coded to pair with that specific model. They would've considered including a full BT pairing stack a waste of resources.
I think the reason they didnt advertised the Super FX on Yoshi's Island was so they could make the Super Nintendo look more advanced compared to other consoles.
I think you forgot to mention that 5th gen pokemon card alongside with heartgold and soulsilver also had this Bluetooth card. Also fun fact if you put these games near a security price sticker it will erase your save.
I never would have thought that discs weren't the way to go until now. Never have I thought of game units (discs and cartridges) as removable hardware not unlike that of a usb stick/thumbdrive. I always thought of them as just memory data file storage for reading and writing. In simpler terms, I always considered stuff you write a game onto to just be software holders. With this concept of games being hardware as well you can do so many more things with it. I just wonder if the switch cartridges will ever get any special treatment.
SNES cartridges in particular were always designed to be modular to expand the consoles capability, as part of keeping the cost of the base system down. The SuperFX chip is the most well known, but there were over a dozen other enhancement chips embedded in cartridges that vastly expanding the capabilities of the original SNES. This is laymans terms, but the SA1 chip in the Mario RPG cartridge essentially included an overclocked version of the SNES's own CPU inside it. About 3x the clock speed. From Sega, you have the SVP chip used for the Mega-Drive version of Virtua Racing, which could draw more polygons at about twice the framerate of the SuperFX chip (but it was absurdly expensive as well). Or of course, Sonic & Knuckles, which could actively patch the data from a Sonic 2 or 3 cartridge to expand and change those games.
ValiantAleste _ It was common on the Dreamcast. Sonic Adventure, among others, included several wallpapers for your PC in the low-density part of the GD-ROM that could be read from a normal PC CD-ROM player.
Do you think that game disks and cartridges could be a secret BLUETOOTH adapter??? Do you think Pokemon games like X and Y are like that. That would be scary.
Fitting extra features on cartridges to meet the needs of specific games was definitely a cool idea, but in the case of modern consoles like the Switch, this is a practice that is no longer necessary. The console has all the features that these hardware extensions aimed to capture (like Bluetooth and 3D rendering capabilities), not to mention the disparity it would cause between physical and digital releases of games.
Yes. I watched a seller with a $3 copy of Gyromite turn around and sell it for $28 as soon as I brought it to his and another shopper’s attention (I already had too many). It was the same guy who sold me two “heavy” NES cartridges for $10 that had over $22,600 worth of heroin inside, so he knows that when I bring something to his attention he should probably listen. ;)
Hey Nintendrew, if you're interested in weird unique game features look into Bangai-O Spirits on DS. You share levels, high scores and replays with other DS players using sound. It's called Sound Load. It's a trip.
Judging by the amount of views on this original trailer not many people knew about it. Even though they simplify their tech in this explanation it still kinda blows my mind ua-cam.com/video/J5hd3XlJ4AM/v-deo.html
Here's something that you may not heard of; The Game Boy version of Olympic Summer Games has a hidden feature when played on the Super Game Boy. The original 8-Bit music is replaced with 16-bit music! ;-)
OMG I thought it was going crazy. I threw my controller at the mega drive in frustration in Sonic 3D and unlocked the level select. I thought I was going mad!
100% I abused that glitch on sonic 3d blast when I was a kid. Totally threw my controller at the cart when I was pissed off and came across it, then i had it down to a T where i'd tap the cart once on the front, twice on the back and repeat that until the message came up saying I came across level select. xD Though you can access that level select another way
8:17, False, the cheat code for level select without damaging your cart is B-A-Right-A-C-Up-Down-A, it is a misspelling of Barracuda which is her Baracuda
Trainer Blue GB Player did not support SGB enhancements but it did have some of its own. For example, some Game Boy Advance games supported force feedback when played with a GameCube controller. Also, it did not work with the GBA Video carts. IIRC, the GB Player holds opposing directions on the D-pad when the game first boots. Because normal GBAs can’t do this, the game knows it’s running on a GB Player. Majesco GBA Video carts will then display a message and refuse to play video since Majesco did not have home video rights.
They did. The SVP chip that was used in the Mega-Drive version of Virtua Racing. It was an incredibly powerful chip for what it was, quite a bit beyond the SuperFX chip. But it was also far too expensive to be practical on a per game basis. Though there were plans to make an SVP chip cartridge adaptor, so you only had to buy the chip once, and compatible games would just play through it, like a Game Genie.
Yoshi’s island on the snes is a two player btw. If you hold the select and press X X Y B A on the map, you’ll unlock mini games and 2 mini games that are two players.
One thing you left out, on the yoshis island and star fox cartridges, the pins on the bottom of the cartridges have a “separate” pin set on the left and right. I’m assuming that’s where the fx chip comes into play but don’t quote me on that. I just know that games that used the fx chip had some weird “extra” pin sets on both sides that gave me the general idea that More was being read from the cartridge. Don’t know if I explained this properly, if anyone wants to chime in I’d appreciate it.
Well Pokemon Soulsilver and Heartgold should have a hidden feature because when the pokewalker connects to the game cartridge it doesn’t connect to the DS system itself (possibly because the original one didn’t have Bluetooth connectivity) so in theory it would have a Bluetooth connected in the cartridge like the Pokemon typing game.
I had no idea about the NES adapter, back in the day You could find bootleg devices to do so, but an official adapter in new to Me, after so many years, nice tip!

why is that not true? I never said "only fifth generation".

I'm surprised the Pokémon typing game doesn't have its keyboard plug into the GBA slot like Guitar Hero.
@Nintendrew What if you run the Game Boy game in GameCube player port will it still run the SNES game version⁉️
J I'm not Nintendrew, but no, it won't. The Gameboy Player uses the GBA's hardware, so it won't have the Super Gameboy features implemented.
Trainer Blue GB Player did not support SGB enhancements but it did have some of its own. For example, some Game Boy Advance games supported force feedback when played with a GameCube controller.

But do any of these have Blast-Processing Technology?

Nope. Sega never created an enhancement chip for the Genesis, unlike Nintendo for the SNES. They put them in the 32x and SegaCD.
They did. The SVP chip that was used in the Mega-Drive version of Virtua Racing. It was an incredibly powerful chip for what it was, quite a bit beyond the SuperFX chip. But it was also far too expensive to be practical on a per game basis.
Though there were plans to make an SVP chip cartridge adaptor, so you only had to buy the chip once, and compatible games would just play through it, like a Game Genie.
