We see some comments and posts stating that Studio SEK did not work on The Lion King, but rather, they worked on an Italian spin-off called Simba the King Lion. It is certain that they worked on Simba the King Lion, but it’s impossible to say with certainty (As with most things regarding NK) that they did or didn’t work with Disney. However, we didn’t make a mistake in our statements. Here are some articles that led us to believe that they worked with Disney for a period of time: culture.ifeng.com/abroad/200811/1129_4088_900193_1.shtml m.haiwainet.cn/middle/345646/2014/1203/content_21478508_1.html
You are all still correct about me not hitting the double in darts though. I didn't do my research thoroughly enough on that topic, and for that I apologize. I will endeavor to do better.
My dad went to school with Volker Eloesser who is one of the founders of Nosotek. That's the same guy who made The Curse of Ra for the Amiga. Before that NK joint venture he had made millions from selling his mobile game company to Jamba in 2004 (which was then sold to Verisign and then to News Corp, which is why Nosotek got the Big Lebowski deal). In a recent interview he said that at the time no one of his NK staff was allowed internet access, only he as a Westerner would get modem access that even at the time (2008-10) was too slow to access larger websites. He also played several roles in NK movies because he was one of the few Westerners in the country at the time. He now owns a business that markets historic and retro window and door handles from Europe and Asia.
It's worth noting the original Wiimote itself didn't truly have a gyroscope and used an accelerometer instead. This was the reason for the introduction of the Wii Motion Plus accessory which added a gyroscope. Some Wiimotes made late in the console's life did come with Wii Motion Plus integrated into the unit. The Wii itself also used remarkably primitive hardware even for its time, having only 88 MB of RAM, a PowerPC CPU slightly upgraded from the GameCube's and only a 512 MB flash memory chip for storage. It was closer to the technology of the 6th gen than it was to the Xbox 360 and PS3 that it competed against. Still sold like hotcakes though.
@@witebatman no, it's because Nintendo is a gaming company and they actually focus on making games that are fun. A lot of other companies are businesses that just happen to be in the gaming space.

The clickbait hurts. It's not that North Korea made a game console, or a North Korean console. It's a Chinese console made by a brand named SUBOR in China. Even you yourself question why it has Chinese in it, and even the thumbnail has Chinese on the product. And you even mention yours isn't the Korean rebranded OEM one. Why not use a better, less clickbaity, title that properly represents the video? "The Chinese Game Console Resold in North Korea".... Wouldn't get as much views, right?
Well, it'll be for the elites in Pyongyang that can afford it, and also, North Korea is China's only ally, militarily, politically, and economically which means that whatever is "Made in China" gets imported to North Korea like that game console which means that North Koreans are playing bootlegged games and consoles/handhelds.
I remember when Linus funded a whole badminton showgame and invited the World Champion and World No. 1 men single's badminton player, Viktor Axelsen. The video is on UA-cam where he plays against Viktor Axelsen
I didn't sponsor that event. I just sponsored the club the organized it and won the draw to be one of quite a few people who played a couple points with Viktor - LS

@@garystinten9339 I had to look that up, but no that movie is irrelevant. In that film the Greek character doesn't even use that exact line, he makes reference to the expression discussed here when talking with a Vietnamese character, saying, "same, same. In Australia everything the same." However, the expression itself is significantly older than just the year 2000. Some say that it's origin goes as far back as the Vietnam War, however it was at least as far back as the 80s that it emerged.
OMG! You have awaken the deepest and truest of my childhood memories, seeing my dad play Dendi and regularly talking about it being the best console of its time back then - man it was simpler times in our little town, deep in siberia, but it were good and honest times. Thank you very, very much for mentioning the Dendi - I have completely forgotten that part of my life and I will definetly pay my dad a visit to play with him ASAP!!
My God, I realized that it is a SUBOR logo on the console that Linus used only in the middle portion of the video... I knew that logo seemed familiar... SUBOR were very famous in 90s with their console clones... and they're still doing the same business so many years later.
15:00 Growing up in Syria back in 2005-2006 we had this exact show dubbed to Arabic. It was called "فارس الشجاع" which literally translates to "Brave Knight". Although this is the first time I'm learning that it's a North Korean show, I remember at the time that it felt somewhat weird and different from the usual Japanese stuff like Digimon, Pokemon, or Case Closed (Detective Conan). Nevertheless I remember really enjoying the show, It features themes of honor, courage, and patriotism.
I feel like this is one of the better looks "behind the curtain" of the DPRK on UA-cam, simply because the premise is about a piece of technology and not strictly pushing some agenda. Like, I had no idea about the cartoons in North Korea, and most other videos about what "life is really like" would just tell you everybody's eating grass and not even mention their media.
@@logarhythmic6859 i mean, it is missing some food for thought, for instance the theory that moviemaker wasn't kidnapped, but it was made look that way so he could then get back after the work - imagine how your life would be in South Korea after voluntarily going to the North. But yes, it is significantly better than other content on the theme.
When I stayed at the Yanggakdo in 2017 we used the bowling alley and although we'd made an adult beverage or two (their local beer is excellent) in the adjacent karaoke bar I remember the bowling lanes being very well maintained. I can't comment on the perfect game score, we'd enjoyed enough Taedonggang beer to have less than zero change of getting anywhere near finding it.
There’s also another Bowling Alley in North Korea which called “Golden Lane” and that place is bigger than the one in the hotel. So sad there aren’t many Bowling Leagues or Pro Bowlers in North Korea that can host tournaments and take up all the Lanes of that place. Its more old school as it uses the same lane equipment as Japan uses for their Bowling Alleys back then. It was unfortunately shut down for good, not sure when but it was only a few years after Kim Jong Un came to power
It was long overdue we'd get a video like this, which goes into any kind of depth and shows real work in research having been done. Nice to see LTT doesn't just care about silliness and clickbait.
@@darkbozo11 one dude got death public penalty for stealing copper from production facility in "democratic people's republic of korea". I don't even want to know what they would do for breaking 10 cars.
Hey!!! This is Chinese brand 小霸王 (little overlord）. Its first successful console is copying Nintendo FC. And since it was illegal to have a gaming console back in the days in China, 小霸王 was branded as a computer for learning despite having lots of Nintendo games in it. 😂😂😂
That segway was great! I love seeing stuff from DPRK, China and other restricted countries or very unknown to us in the West. Do more of these, please! The story behind those is ALWAYS fascinating and give us a glimpse on how some things work :)
I'm pretty sure Japan never kidnapped no Korean and enslaved them or worst. Right Linus? 13:42 Nor hurt any Chinese. And I am almost sure that no Japanese war criminal class A B or C were released after WW2 .
7:25 Crazy how you brought this up and then days later we find out that they’re likely still up to working around sanctions and working on international animated productions.
Based on the assets used, I can almost assure you that the curling game is a clone of the one found in one of the Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games titles for the Wii. The tutorial graphics and shot preview are nearly identical and so are the animations for the brushing portion. They somehow forgot to copy the game actually functioning tho xD
What a great video! It was so fascinating to learn the history and loved the presentation of a story behind the console. Not something you typically see with "clones". Shout out LTT for ALWAYS taking their content a step further than anyone else.
0:48 Waaait... 20 EUROS?! I think this is the first time I've heard this mythical currency that I use every day in a tech video 😂 I thought at first that UA-cam might offer region specific sponsor segments now
Tanner's been talking about it on floatplane: *Yup. It still just says I didn't get the correct amount of points. I spent a solid 45 minutes during the April Fools shoot trying to figure out what I had to do to finish the game.*
The running ad doesn't seem to be for the game, but for the running board thing. It says that by using the "exercise footboard", it'll feel just like if you were in a real stadium. And says that it'll ensure the speed (seeming to mean more consistent speed) and increase on-screen realism. Incidentally, even that short ad prominently shows a difference in North vs South Korean style Korean. I've lived in Korea for many years and never saw the word 리용 until now. Because in South Korea, the same word is 이용. In SK, terms from Chinese characters where the first syllable originally began with sounds for ㄹ and ㄴ have changed to drop the opening consonant. So, they changed the Hangul spelling to represent their change in pronunciation. Whereas, in NK, the leading sound stayed as it was so they left the spelling as it was.
Easter Bunny @1:04 the green book in the background is authored by the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. He had a weird obsession with cinema. Johnny Harris did a whole video on it,
That camera game you guys played theres a ps2 game like that called "Eye Toy Game" really really good i loved wacking ninjas away and cleaning the screen. camera wasnt to crazy but for ps2 was awesome as a kid.
Hold up, has Linus (or anyone at LTT for that matter) never used a Playstation EyeToy before? Because that "fruit ninja" knockoff gameplay was immediately recognisable as an EyeToy clone, which makes it doubly surprising considering Linus said he would be channelling Jackie Chan, and the most well known EyeToy game is probably the one where you fight ninjas. Like, I find it difficult to believe he wouldn't know about it, but that "It's like if the Kinect were shit" comment makes me feel like he thinks the Kinect was the first peripheral of its kind, and that's so far from the case.
Kinect is the most recognizeable name, and is well know for being shit. If he said "it's like if the Sega Activator was shit" only like 3 people would know what he was talking about lol
I kinda wish this video went more into the hardware, or at least the outside design of the console.. like the different button layout to the Wii only being hinted at and not showcased
小霸王 is a Chinese gaming console brand, this is why you can see the Chinese content on it. However, it is so interesting to know it also sold in North Korean🤣
I just came here to say as a yoga practicioner, the moment you asked "who is that flexible!?" on the Yoga game image, i --immediately-- got up and got into that pose, just to prove a point. :p But you know, i'm better modelled, than that character, so my leg did not, in fact, come out of my other leg while i did.
Ancient Android processor using an old fork of Android made for Asia market with a camera and a kind sort wii remote that is really a mouse? I was impressed it was that advanced as in usable lol goes to show Android is truly a hyper flexible platform.
This video is missing some AAA titles: - Starving Simulator - Pray for the Great Leader - SimPyongyang 2000 Deluxe - WAR Digital Deluxe Edition (there is no game over, North Korea always wins), - Concentration Camp Tycoon - Age of Great Leaders - Leisure Suit Jong un
I must say that the Family console had a lot of success in Argentina in 90's, it was very rare to find someone with a Snes. Later the star console was Sega Genesis and later the PS (by the 2000's)

小霸王 is a famous copycat game console brand in China.
That segue at the end was one of the best you guys have done!
Yes, I really enjoyed it.
I had no idea about Notepad's multimedia capabilities! You have blown my mind. Very well done
"Same, same, but different" nice quote! Love The Interview!!!!
1:09 you reminded me of MattKC's Pyongyang Racer walkthrough
I hope Matt watches this video
Yes! I was trying to think of where I had seen that game before!
every now and then LTT makes a banger of a video. thanks guys! this was fascinating
i appreciate all the education here. very solid video guys!
Wake up ! This is communist propaganda!

I love how Linus instantly looks down at the remote in pure confusion 🤣🤣
The running ad doesn't seem to be for the game, but for the running board thing. It says that by using the "exercise footboard", it'll feel just like if you were in a real stadium. And says that it'll ensure the speed (seeming to mean more consistent speed) and increase on-screen realism.
Incidentally, even that short ad prominently shows a difference in North vs South Korean style Korean.
I've lived in Korea for many years and never saw the word 리용 until now. Because in South Korea, the same word is 이용.
In SK, terms from Chinese characters where the first syllable originally began with sounds for ㄹ and ㄴ have changed to drop the opening consonant. So, they changed the Hangul spelling to represent their change in pronunciation. Whereas, in NK, the leading sound stayed as it was so they left the spelling as it was.
Easter Bunny @1:04 the green book in the background is authored by the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. He had a weird obsession with cinema. Johnny Harris did a whole video on it,
That camera game you guys played theres a ps2 game like that called "Eye Toy Game" really really good i loved wacking ninjas away and cleaning the screen. camera wasnt to crazy but for ps2 was awesome as a kid.
It instantly reminded me of that one with the fireworks that you had to wave your hand to highlight, and then detonate.
It is only built in to have a webcam staring at you in your living room. Because a camera is a camera is a camera...
0:58 heck yeah we do!
This was a great episode! Very interesting and well done. I found this absolutely fascinating! More videos like this please!!!
Where did you get that hand mannequin shown during your sponsor??
9:39 That Samsung Notification playing in the background while those two goofballs are playing a North Korean console got me rolling.
Hold up, has Linus (or anyone at LTT for that matter) never used a Playstation EyeToy before? Because that "fruit ninja" knockoff gameplay was immediately recognisable as an EyeToy clone, which makes it doubly surprising considering Linus said he would be channelling Jackie Chan, and the most well known EyeToy game is probably the one where you fight ninjas.
Like, I find it difficult to believe he wouldn't know about it, but that "It's like if the Kinect were shit" comment makes me feel like he thinks the Kinect was the first peripheral of its kind, and that's so far from the case.
Kinect is the most recognizeable name, and is well know for being shit.
If he said "it's like if the Sega Activator was shit" only like 3 people would know what he was talking about lol
Linus isn't a big console gamer. He's mentioned playing Wii Bowling with his older relations and he has a Switch (and maybe an X-Box).
9:12 The Eyetoy games were a memorable part of my early PS2 days
I rarely hear of others having it, and it was so much fun
I put so many hours into the window washing and burger ones
@@scottg3192 my neighbor and I both had PS2s, but he always had the oddball titles. Same thing when we got PS3s
Yoooo, I wasnt the only one! That tower game was the shiiiiz😂
9:46 They are basically describing EyeToy for the PlayStation - It was awesome! 😍
I kinda wish this video went more into the hardware, or at least the outside design of the console.. like the different button layout to the Wii only being hinted at and not showcased
If you die in game, you also die in reality
only if you spoke the wrong words in front of that built-in camera.
@@cyberyogicowindler2448 already got built in 9mm
0:06 wii got them?
0:50 WAIT YOU STILL USE THESE INTROS?
I hope they keep using them
小霸王 is a Chinese gaming console brand, this is why you can see the Chinese content on it. However, it is so interesting to know it also sold in North Korean🤣
I just came here to say as a yoga practicioner, the moment you asked "who is that flexible!?" on the Yoga game image, i --immediately-- got up and got into that pose, just to prove a point. :p
But you know, i'm better modelled, than that character, so my leg did not, in fact, come out of my other leg while i did.
Sabes es horrible la i.a. en español, tuve que ponerle en audio en inglés 😅
Ancient Android processor using an old fork of Android made for Asia market with a camera and a kind sort wii remote that is really a mouse? I was impressed it was that advanced as in usable lol goes to show Android is truly a hyper flexible platform.
The new best seller: One Night at Kim Jong Un’s 💀💀
This video is missing some AAA titles:
- Starving Simulator
- Pray for the Great Leader
- SimPyongyang 2000 Deluxe
- WAR Digital Deluxe Edition (there is no game over, North Korea always wins),
- Concentration Camp Tycoon
- Age of Great Leaders
- Leisure Suit Jong un
was that a Dennis Rodman joke at the beginning?
Great job with the research on this one, Tanner!
21:06 You absolute losers with that segue at the end. LOL
Some might say its ... North KorWiian
I must say that the Family console had a lot of success in Argentina in 90's, it was very rare to find someone with a Snes.
Later the star console was Sega Genesis and later the PS (by the 2000's)
Finally a Hetzner sponsor, love that company
2:33 *you're
El doblaje se agradece pero....
MattKC play that pyongyang
As a darts fan, I'm infuriated to see the game starting with 500 points rather than 501.
I love the nod to the “interview”. Well cultured man right here
