    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:

    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.

A lot of other companies are businesses that just happen to be in the gaming space. Nintendo is one of the few remaining that is an actual gaming company. An easy example is to take a look at Nintendo executive pay vs EA executive pay (or worse, Bobby Kotick remuneration) and the decisions Nintendo made recently during difficult economic times not only to retain their employees, but actually give them a payrise.

    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?

    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.
