Eurogamer while it's completely possible he did and even though he had a camera showing him pushing buttons on the bongos unless he had someone there witnessing him do this then he could have easily had someone off camera playing the game. Just saying I doubt any of these accomplishments unless they are done with a third party to witness. I mean that's why world record's have to be done that way.
Nicko Bagaskara But the Kinect is unreliable in and of itself, meaning that such a feat would rely heavily on luck, whereas the Donkey Konga Bongos work in and of themselves but were not intended for playing anything other than Donkey Konga, let alone something as difficult and reflex-heavy as Dark Souls.
Althalus2010 The Donkey Konga bongo's were intended for playing Donkey Konga and its sequels along with Donkey Kong's Jungle Beat (I think that was the name) which was a Donkey Kong side scroller like DK Country but worked by using the bongos
i dont suppose anyone remembers "yoshi's island: topsy turvy", where the game cartridge had an accelerometer built onto it, , allowing you to turn the gameboy around and shift the gravity, so walls would become floors and the ceiling was a giant death pit. amazingly fun, since it also created a hell of a way to traverse the levels without touching the ground
Wasn't there a monster collecting game where you could get different monsters by feeding the console every CD in the house regardless of what type of media it was?
Imagine the lock on cartridge thing for the second generation of Pokémon. Insert your Red or Blue into it and you inherit all the Pokémon from your "father" Red, and after you insert it for the first time, it records you doing so, therefore unless you start over characters would ask about your father and be shocked that it's the champion.
I was saying that would be a bad thing! Don't give people ideas. I play games to have fun. If I want to play around with my cardio then most treadmills have heart sensors.
Virus sounds cool! *Walks into a room and looks at the wall* *Instantly realizes that ALL folders were used, even "Private" ones* Me: Yeah... I think I'll just... Uninstall this now...
Zack Ceasar because you're giving them money before you actually know what you're getting. Meaning even if they release an unfinished, buggy shitsandwich of a game, they don't give a shit because they already have your money.
That email from the stalker/killer mechanic is clever. It would actually work really well since we all have smart phones now and get emails straight to them.
There actually has been a horror game that dynamically changes depending on a heart rate monitor, and a game that deletes files on your computer as you shoot enemies.
Didn't Infamous second son have a side mission thing, (paper trail i think), that required you to go onto the internet to progress that story? It might have been watchdogs, but i can't remember.
Richard Kaskiewicz Yeah that was Infamous:SS. It was actually pretty good but I was lazy and didn't finish it because some of the IRL stuff you had to do was too much effort xD
I'm kinda glad the sunlight thing didn't happen, I am in England and we don't really get to see it. In fact, I'm 24 years old and in my life I haven't ever seen the sun. :/
I need a heart rate sensor. Not for horror games, but so a game can have a rage mechanic that is literally based on how angry you are. Never again will we have to stop gaming due to blood pressure issues! Never again will you smash your xbox to pieces because of one poorly designed level! NO MORE RAGE QUITS!
The vitality censor should definitely be able to detect everyone's heartrate if made correctly. Considering the fact that it's clearly based on an actual medical tool that looks the same and does the same thing.
And that thing doesn't work well on some people either.

#2 reminds me of an april fools's joke in an old game magazine that said that games that make smells had been invented, and Intellivision was so certain they would be a hit that they were going to change their name to..."insmellivision"! oh and #6 reminds me of the "super game boy": plug it into your SNES and then plug a Game Boy game into it...and you could play game boy games on your SNES!
That solar cartridge becomes all the more redundant when you realize the Gameboy Advance wasn't backlit and as such holding it under anything more vibrant than a 60 Watt lamp left the screen awash with glare.
I love how OX came up with this amazing idea for putting vitality sensors and horror games together, and had absolutely no idea the game "Nevermind" already did this.
Number 5 (the internet and emails one) is actually really cool. I love how the developers came up with including you in the game; it's a very neat way of immersing the player. I would totally play that game!
I have the Sonic cartridges and when you hook up S&K to the first Sonic game, would be taken to a screen and you had to push some buttons and you could play the S&K special stages as your favorite characters. It was really cool back then.
My sisters liked doing that. You're talking about the collecting spheres levels. I think the code might have worked with other cartridges, but I could be wrong.

The "in memoriam" concept is ace. I would love to see more horror/thriller games with this level of interactivity. I was at uni in 2003. Why didn't I know about this?! I was already pulling all nighters playing Silent hill, it would have made the perfect addition!
Or Hedgehogs are NOT blue, and whatever Amy was/is, she probably isn't that. Also bigger feet = slower running, same for hands and large heads. Also the 'Naruto Run' is shit and doesn't work. As pat g said "no wonder sega is basically dead"
well funny thing is that there are still games that use this gimmick (forcing you to look up something on internet, go somewhere in real life and find clues etc.) for example. the game black watcher (or something like that) is one of these games.
Plasma Octopus Yep. The closest we've gotten to that in commercial games is games that crash upon game over. **cough** **cough** FNAF and Undertale **cough** **cough**
Haha, although in all fairness its not like those are the standard game overs in those games, well not counting people that had a habit of unplugging their computer in FNAF that is.
True, but I'm sure that there will probably be a game out there that does crash every single time you get a game over (and not via a glitch or something) if not now, then sometime in the future. I might even make that game just to stop the waiting.
Check out "The Secret world", it's an MMO which has a lot of missions that have you look things up external to the game. The first such mission has you look up an obscure passage from the bible.
The Missing Since January game was pretty great. I beat that one when I was a kid and it was pretty fascinating! The websites made the whole thing feel so real. I might still have the game in storage somewhere. Sad to realize it wouldn't work anymore thanks to the domain issue!
Best way to bring back vitality sensors (for video games): Combine with VR technology in the form of a glove controller (think a better Power Glove) and a VR headset (maybe some sort of slippers for foot motion capture for better effect?), with vitality sensors built into the glove controller. Full VR horror game with vitality sensors anyone?
The weirdest thing about UA-cam and copyright protections is that I'm watching an 8 year old video that has portions muted out, which means that at some point in the last 8 years, this channel was informed of copyright infringement and had to edit their video to remove sound, but did NOT haveto remove what is probably copyrighted VIDEO. Always makes me laugh.
The 5th one was also used, in part, in the horror game "I'm scared", where, every time you died, the game closed entirely, and occasionally gave you message via a new file that you could find and read in your actual hard drive. Beyond that, at certain points in the game, you were given an interactive file, such as one that gave you a revolver, but required you change the single digit in a text file from "0" to "6", so you could have 6 bullets.
Interesting article. I think the horror game using the heartbeat sensor held the most potential, particularly if combined with Eternal Darkness-style mindscrew. --- I remember the Monster Rancher game had a gimmick where every CD whether gaming, music, or otherwise, gave you a monster with stats, appearance and type based on the disk's data. I also remember that Nintendo released its player's guide for Earthbound with scratch/sniff pages matching locations in the game such as Twoson, Fourside and Deep Darkness.
As soon as I saw this, I immediately hoped Boktai was going to be on its list. It was such a strange novelty but the game itself is legitimately awesome. People ask why I call myself Django in video games and they always think I’m referring to the movie.
When Hideo Kojima was working on a PC game called Snatcher, he wanted to include a heat-activated message in the floppy disc, which was the preferred medium at the time. After using the floppy for about 15 minutes, the system's heat would activate some kind of chemical that would make it smell like blood, and upon taking the floppy out and examining it, a dying message would have appeared on it. Unfortunately, he was yelled at for that idea, and it never came to be.
Guys.. Stop telling people there was a solar powered gun in Fallout: New Vegas. They're not talking about a solar powered gun. The actual game cartridge itself had solar sensors on it. You needed to go outside and "charge" the actual game in order to play it effectively.
There was a solar powered pistol in Fallout 2. It was incredibly difficult to find as it was hidden within only one of many dozens of random encounters and was only good for one set of charges indoors, i.e. could not be reloaded unless in direct sun light. This made it impractical and only good as a novelty. It had a viciously high damage rating though which made it a fun novelty weapon.
don't remember the name, but you can check out markipliers channel, i think that's where i saw it. unfortunately, i think it died during kickstarter, like so many other great and innovative projects.
And now there's AdventurOS on it's way (fingers crossed) that is also a procedurally generated Metroidvania-style roguelike that uses your computer's files to determine level layout and enemy spawns. Also, Sonic 2 was the first game I owned on the SEGA Genesis and the only Sonic game I've ever played. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
Lunar knights did use a solar sensor. you had to plug the old game into the backwards compatible port on the other end. It had other cool gimmicks like leaving chocolate in your inventory, going into a hot area and having it melt onto other inventory items creating something new. a lot of the food worked this way.
Actually there is a Arcade Horror FPS that used heart rate sensors, forgot the name but the concept still saw the light of day in some ways (Was also in 4D, RealD 3D visuals with the sensors and vibrating booth adding a fourth dimension (or 3rd as it was also playable in 2D)).
@@Robinem We have one of those at our local Round1 arcade. Of course,I suspect the penalization for your heart rate going above a certain threshold in each stage would be unpleasant if you've got, say, POTS and your heartrate just likes to get uppity on its own from standing still too long. :P
The heart rate thing would be great in horror, survival, shooter. Image getting a jump scare you freak out and your aim goes to hell. I want this. The main mistake was using a finger cuff, you need a wrist strap with varying size so you can place it anywhere on the arm.
Yes there is. But guess where the helium nuclei is coming from... the fusion of hydrogen nuclei. Helium nuclei will begin to fuse in about 5 billion years when the Sun turns into a Red Giant. Anyway, instead of Einstein, I prefer Edwin Hubble.
How have I never heard of Boktai before? Both the idea of fighting vampires with a solar light gun, and having THE REAL WORLD SUN power an in-game feature!
Lunar Knights actually did have a Solar Sensor- if you plugged in Boktai 1, 2, (or 3 if you were in Japan) into the GBA slot, it would pick up Solar Energy through the GBA cartridge's sensor. Nifty!
Monster Rancher 4 scanned for Play station 2 had you take out the game and put other video games or cd's when you did a ritual in it to get different monsters based on them (and it was contestant, though not required) and you could actually gte a special variation of a monster by taking the game out, then putting it back in and scanning it!
I played a game in therapy that used the visuals from myst and an EKG to control the game. Amazing stuff. I moved a ball through a maze using my stress levels.
There is a railshooter horror game that tracks your heart rate and ranks you accordingly to how scared you got called Dark Escape 4D, I saw some people play it, let's just say bricks were excreted.
i remember in memoriam, at least the second or third title. Late at night, when I shut off the game the phoenix send me an email saying: "Tired? I will knock on your window. You won't even hear when I'm knocking." I I thought: Well whats the point of knocking then?!
I spent most of my time outside after I got boktai. The I lost it. Outside. I dropped my gba, and the cartridge wasn't there. I looked all over, and I couldn't find it
But...but doesn't FO:NV technically have a solar powered gun? Euclid's C-Finder is powered by the Helios 1 solar array if you choose to power the Archimedes weapon thing in the one quest... so HA
+TheRealMr080guy I need that weapon... Then my reign of chiropteras would be unquestioned!!! Bonus points: scientific name of what animal? Hint: It's a special type of mammal.
Phil Latio Yea, the Boktai games are great, but they sold poorly and did even worse in America due to how annoying and unappealing the gimmick was(Damn creative as it was, and awesome, in theory, in practice it was cool, but not everyone wanted to roast in the sun just to play a game), thankfully we have fanhacks that let Us manually control the Light Level, and thus we can experience the awesome, without the sunburn
This reminds me that I never finished Boktai 2 also the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge!! kid me slotted so many other Genesis games in that thing in the hopes of finding Secrets. Good times.
you didn't give games that read your memory card and reward you if you played the previous game or another game from the studio? shame. also monster rancher. by reading other discs you could either get a lame monster or a god monster. that was pretty amazing.
Oh yeah, I watched a video on that second one. I never played the games on my GameCube that were supposed to react to my other files, but they always sounded cool.
The first time Psycho Mantis reads your memory card to tell you all the Konomi games you've played was pretty cool. It also made me realize I needed to clear my memory cards more often than I did.
"you didn't give games that read your memory card and reward you if you played the previous game or another game from the studio?" That's...not really a failed gimmick. Several games still do that. Multimillion project by Bungie called Destiny? You might have heard of it? It did that. It's the most recent example I can think of. And since this "recent" example is so recent it's just months old, I think it's safe to say that gimmick isn't dead
Devilwings X Racing games also tend to have it as a loyalty bit. Checks if you played previous games in the series. If you did, you get a free car or cash, ect
tactictoe Yes, but the execution is different. In new vegas you could only use the gun OUTSIDE of any ingame building. In Boktai you actually had to use the built in sensor of the GBA to charge the virtual gun with the real world sun.
FYI, the audio during the Wii Vitality Sensor is non- existent in both of the segments you use in your video. While I'm already here...I love your videos, your senses of humor and anything/ everything else about your channel!
+MrOmniblast They missed out the fact that you could plug any Megadrive game into the Add On bit, and get a brand new random generated Emerald Bonus Stage. I believe that I'm still the Random Emerald Stage Champion for Hillsborough from the 1996 tournament round my mates house.
Captain Freedom 26. Lived on a tropical island without access to games. My cousin sent me a Sega Genesis from America along with Sonic and a few other games, that's all I had.
And if you put Sonic 1 on it, you got a BUNCH of Blue Sphere challenges complete with a passcode system to access certain stages. If you had certain stages that were your favorite, you just had to write down the code and put it in whenever you wanted. They really rewarded people who had the previous three Sonic games and it was awesome.
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 3 was my favourite Genesis game ever! I loved getting Hyper Sonic (Chaos emeralds + Super Emeralds), before world 2 of the S&K section. Hyper Sonic kicked ass.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is my favorite game in the entire franchise. Never get the Sonic 2 or Sonic CD hype, even they are great games too, don't get me wrong.
5:08 Actually, Virus The Game got that idea from a previous Windows 3.1 game called Inner Space. It had the exact same "go inside your computer and clear out the file structure" format, except it used a top-down view with Star Control-style spaceship combat. It's quite likely the best Win 3.1 game ever made, and it's a real shame it's never been remade.
Hahahaha the sun ray gun thingie wont work here!! i live in norway (far west side) and we dont have sunny weather here until spring and summer. Every day inbetween is just cloudy and ominous, basicly
+DrearyPlane8 we don't have lamps either. We sacrifice them to the allmighty power-brony. And if we don't, we will suffer for years the legend says. "He who shall not sacrifice their finest lamps shall be forced to witness Lord Scrotum the Power Brony scratch their nails on their mightiest blackboard for eternity"
"I'm scared" was pretty cool. First time I ever was afraid of an 8 bit indie game. It could mess with your computer system, create files and send you files, crash itself and when you tried to reboot it on steam it asks you weird questions before opening. It even opened UA-cam by itself to give you more info on the game.
I thought the Donkey Konga Bongos were a pretty useless gimmick. Then I watched someone complete Dark Souls using them and my world collapsed. - Ian
Eurogamer while it's completely possible he did and even though he had a camera showing him pushing buttons on the bongos unless he had someone there witnessing him do this then he could have easily had someone off camera playing the game. Just saying I doubt any of these accomplishments unless they are done with a third party to witness. I mean that's why world record's have to be done that way.
Nicko Bagaskara But the Kinect is unreliable in and of itself, meaning that such a feat would rely heavily on luck, whereas the Donkey Konga Bongos work in and of themselves but were not intended for playing anything other than Donkey Konga, let alone something as difficult and reflex-heavy as Dark Souls.

I mean, probably not "dad". The generations of pokemon arent generations for the characters. Red and Blue are still kids -> teens in MODERN games.
The heart rate tracking for a horror game actually sounds cool. If it could be implemented well it would make an interesting edition.
Joe Morgan Yeah, but wii probably would have used it for their sports games instead.

They have a game like that. It's called Nevermind it changes the difficulty based on your heart rate.

I was just thinking "wow this vid is so old it was made in like 2012 lol!" Then I realised it was in 2015. I can't deal with this growing up thing.

Anyone else on mobile getting dead silence during the Nintendo section?
Yes
Me to
Not for me, just the volume was REALLY quiet
Yeah. :(
That happened for me too!
My favorite gimmick is the real time brain cell loss you get from playing Ride to Hell.
That Aliens Colonial Marines joke was drop dead hilarious.
The weirdest thing about UA-cam and copyright protections is that I'm watching an 8 year old video that has portions muted out, which means that at some point in the last 8 years, this channel was informed of copyright infringement and had to edit their video to remove sound, but did NOT haveto remove what is probably copyrighted VIDEO. Always makes me laugh.
The 5th one was also used, in part, in the horror game "I'm scared", where, every time you died, the game closed entirely, and occasionally gave you message via a new file that you could find and read in your actual hard drive. Beyond that, at certain points in the game, you were given an interactive file, such as one that gave you a revolver, but required you change the single digit in a text file from "0" to "6", so you could have 6 bullets.
Interesting article. I think the horror game using the heartbeat sensor held the most potential, particularly if combined with Eternal Darkness-style mindscrew.

I remember the Monster Rancher game had a gimmick where every CD whether gaming, music, or otherwise, gave you a monster with stats, appearance and type based on the disk's data. I also remember that Nintendo released its player's guide for Earthbound with scratch/sniff pages matching locations in the game such as Twoson, Fourside and Deep Darkness.
It's too soon to show P.T. gameplay, guys. The wound is still fresh :(
Catherine Martin Pfft, that's nothing. Imagine having the game but being too afraid to finish it.
I have it still and I haven't even beaten yet.
Elmo Pitts Alison Road?
***** I know. I was stating the name of the game he was talking about.
What are you talking about
I would freak if I got emailed by video game chracters...
*Mario Sent a text!* HELLO! IT'S-A-ME! MARIO!
Reminds me of a time one of my friends kept getting messages on their phone "Lyra wants to play"
well for 5000 USD you can get email from a VR girlfreind *shrug*
Update... seems it has been reduced to 2600 USD google Azuma Hikari
Ummm. Now are you gonna freak out?
@@risu2312 *Big Smoke sent a text* ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN
As soon as I saw this, I immediately hoped Boktai was going to be on its list. It was such a strange novelty but the game itself is legitimately awesome. People ask why I call myself Django in video games and they always think I’m referring to the movie.
I NEED THE GAME WHERE THEY SEND YOU EMAILS. THATS FUCKING AWESOME
When Hideo Kojima was working on a PC game called Snatcher, he wanted to include a heat-activated message in the floppy disc, which was the preferred medium at the time. After using the floppy for about 15 minutes, the system's heat would activate some kind of chemical that would make it smell like blood, and upon taking the floppy out and examining it, a dying message would have appeared on it. Unfortunately, he was yelled at for that idea, and it never came to be.
wtf
"Remember when Sonic games where worth playing?"

Guys.. Stop telling people there was a solar powered gun in Fallout: New Vegas. They're not talking about a solar powered gun. The actual game cartridge itself had solar sensors on it. You needed to go outside and "charge" the actual game in order to play it effectively.
There was a solar powered pistol in Fallout 2. It was incredibly difficult to find as it was hidden within only one of many dozens of random encounters and was only good for one set of charges indoors, i.e. could not be reloaded unless in direct sun light. This made it impractical and only good as a novelty. It had a viciously high damage rating though which made it a fun novelty weapon.
there is a horror arcade game that uses your heartbeat to enhance the game.
WHAT'S IT CALLED
don't remember the name, but you can check out markipliers channel, i think that's where i saw it. unfortunately, i think it died during kickstarter, like so many other great and innovative projects.
+Ian Myrick It's called Dark Escape 4D by Namco Bandai. I played it loads in Hong Kong a few months ago.
+Jill Sandwich the one Vanossgaming tested?
+Jill Sandwich the one Vanossgaming tested?
Playing a Gameboy Advance outside? With that screen? No wonder the solar detector was a failure.
Troy Baker and his voice are still too beautiful for this world, we just let them stay.
To quote Greg (Completionist):
"It's like a cartridge having sex... With another cartridge."
And now there's AdventurOS on it's way (fingers crossed) that is also a procedurally generated Metroidvania-style roguelike that uses your computer's files to determine level layout and enemy spawns.
Also, Sonic 2 was the first game I owned on the SEGA Genesis and the only Sonic game I've ever played. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
Lunar knights did use a solar sensor.
you had to plug the old game into the backwards compatible port on the other end.
It had other cool gimmicks like leaving chocolate in your inventory, going into a hot area and having it melt onto other inventory items creating something new.
a lot of the food worked this way.
Actually there is a Arcade Horror FPS that used heart rate sensors, forgot the name but the concept still saw the light of day in some ways (Was also in 4D, RealD 3D visuals with the sensors and vibrating booth adding a fourth dimension (or 3rd as it was also playable in 2D)).
Dark Escape 4D it was called
@@Robinem We have one of those at our local Round1 arcade. Of course,I suspect the penalization for your heart rate going above a certain threshold in each stage would be unpleasant if you've got, say, POTS and your heartrate just likes to get uppity on its own from standing still too long. :P
The heart rate thing would be great in horror, survival, shooter. Image getting a jump scare you freak out and your aim goes to hell. I want this. The main mistake was using a finger cuff, you need a wrist strap with varying size so you can place it anywhere on the arm.
The end is nigh, Helium nuclei is fusing instead of Hydrogen nuclei in our sun!
+Benjamin Harris Helium is in the sun too Einstein.
Yes there is. But guess where the helium nuclei is coming from... the fusion of hydrogen nuclei. Helium nuclei will begin to fuse in about 5 billion years when the Sun turns into a Red Giant. Anyway, instead of Einstein, I prefer Edwin Hubble.
How have I never heard of Boktai before? Both the idea of fighting vampires with a solar light gun, and having THE REAL WORLD SUN power an in-game feature!
Lunar Knights actually did have a Solar Sensor- if you plugged in Boktai 1, 2, (or 3 if you were in Japan) into the GBA slot, it would pick up Solar Energy through the GBA cartridge's sensor. Nifty!
Pause at 3:06.
thank you
I don't see it
A difficulty level in BO3 called " Andy ", where your aiming is decreased by 90%.
No it's where you can't shoot, unless jumping, and the guns not on the screen.
Black ops 3
***** Is that a question we're supposed to answer for you? Jk
there was also a metal gear boss fight that u had to unplug ur controller and play as player 2 to be able to control solid snake
Psycho mantis ftw. He would also comment on your hard drive data, and what games you've played.
Monster Rancher 4 scanned for Play station 2 had you take out the game and put other video games or cd's when you did a ritual in it to get different monsters based on them (and it was contestant, though not required) and you could actually gte a special variation of a monster by taking the game out, then putting it back in and scanning it!
I played a game in therapy that used the visuals from myst and an EKG to control the game. Amazing stuff. I moved a ball through a maze using my stress levels.
There is a railshooter horror game that tracks your heart rate and ranks you accordingly to how scared you got called Dark Escape 4D, I saw some people play it, let's just say bricks were excreted.
I saw one in an arcade
legopenguin9 I saw one at Dave n' Buster(')s. Bricks were excreted by looking at it
Damn. Knuckles went DLC before it even existed.
jane's shirt is too beautiful for this world
i remember in memoriam, at least the second or third title. Late at night, when I shut off the game the phoenix send me an email saying: "Tired? I will knock on your window. You won't even hear when I'm knocking." I I thought: Well whats the point of knocking then?!
I died at the final fantasy scratch and sniff will smell like hair product part LMFAO 😂🤣
I spent most of my time outside after I got boktai. The I lost it. Outside. I dropped my gba, and the cartridge wasn't there. I looked all over, and I couldn't find it
I'm going to the bathroom. Hold on.
I'm back.
...
Diego Sheish Welcome back
Darqfalls Thank.
Diego Sheish No problem, man.
But...but doesn't FO:NV technically have a solar powered gun? Euclid's C-Finder is powered by the Helios 1 solar array if you choose to power the Archimedes weapon thing in the one quest... so HA
Phil Latio Oh the game cartridge had an actual sunlight sensor... lol
Phil Latio we can mod it.
Phil Latio Imagine the C-Finder in real life...
+TheRealMr080guy I need that weapon... Then my reign of chiropteras would be unquestioned!!!
Bonus points: scientific name of what animal?
Hint: It's a special type of mammal.
Phil Latio Yea, the Boktai games are great, but they sold poorly and did even worse in America due to how annoying and unappealing the gimmick was(Damn creative as it was, and awesome, in theory, in practice it was cool, but not everyone wanted to roast in the sun just to play a game), thankfully we have fanhacks that let Us manually control the Light Level, and thus we can experience the awesome, without the sunburn
The missing island on the map puzzle from Zelda Phantom Hourglass that required manipulation of the DS clamshell was always my favourite.
This reminds me that I never finished Boktai 2
also the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge!! kid me slotted so many other Genesis games in that thing in the hopes of finding Secrets. Good times.
you didn't give games that read your memory card and reward you if you played the previous game or another game from the studio? shame. also monster rancher. by reading other discs you could either get a lame monster or a god monster. that was pretty amazing.
Oh yeah, I watched a video on that second one. I never played the games on my GameCube that were supposed to react to my other files, but they always sounded cool.
Thats a good one, I remember getting trophies is Smash Bros. Melee for playing other games like Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin!
The first time Psycho Mantis reads your memory card to tell you all the Konomi games you've played was pretty cool. It also made me realize I needed to clear my memory cards more often than I did.
"you didn't give games that read your memory card and reward you if you played the previous game or another game from the studio?"
That's...not really a failed gimmick. Several games still do that. Multimillion project by Bungie called Destiny? You might have heard of it? It did that. It's the most recent example I can think of. And since this "recent" example is so recent it's just months old, I think it's safe to say that gimmick isn't dead
Devilwings X Racing games also tend to have it as a loyalty bit. Checks if you played previous games in the series. If you did, you get a free car or cash, ect
That opening statement. Fallout 4 is gonna be great.
Fallout 76 *"hold my beer *
oh
New Vegas had a sun gun, son.
+tactictoe Oh yes, I remember when I discovered that gun..... I immediately transformed into a James Bond villian. XD
+tactictoe But the solar gun in Boktai is powered by the actual sun. As in you play outside and the sun charges the gun.
BakuTex I think that's the same principle as in New Vegas, as you cannot use it whilst indoors.
tactictoe Yes, but the execution is different. In new vegas you could only use the gun OUTSIDE of any ingame building. In Boktai you actually had to use the built in sensor of the GBA to charge the virtual gun with the real world sun.
BakuTex
Not gonna argue with ya. New Vegas DOES have a fun sun gun though.
For some reason, I just love the way Jane says, "Aka the real goddamn Sun."
FYI, the audio during the Wii Vitality Sensor is non- existent in both of the segments you use in your video. While I'm already here...I love your videos, your senses of humor and anything/ everything else about your channel!
Okay, that Sonic one blew my mind. Holy shit, never knew.
+MrOmniblast They missed out the fact that you could plug any Megadrive game into the Add On bit, and get a brand new random generated Emerald Bonus Stage.
I believe that I'm still the Random Emerald Stage Champion for Hillsborough from the 1996 tournament round my mates house.
@_@ Whoa...
+MrOmniblast Because you're like 12.
Captain Freedom 26. Lived on a tropical island without access to games. My cousin sent me a Sega Genesis from America along with Sonic and a few other games, that's all I had.
And if you put Sonic 1 on it, you got a BUNCH of Blue Sphere challenges complete with a passcode system to access certain stages. If you had certain stages that were your favorite, you just had to write down the code and put it in whenever you wanted. They really rewarded people who had the previous three Sonic games and it was awesome.
And to think that Iwata would die 9 days after this video was released...
The audio from the E3 Nintendo conference won't play, is that only me?
Its not just you.
No it's for me too
Nope
Andrea Eitautaite-Clayson It's really quite and the audio is also a little bit distorted too.
Andrea Eitautaite-Clayson I can hear it fine now, nevermind :D
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 3 was my favourite Genesis game ever! I loved getting Hyper Sonic (Chaos emeralds + Super Emeralds), before world 2 of the S&K section. Hyper Sonic kicked ass.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is my favorite game in the entire franchise. Never get the Sonic 2 or Sonic CD hype, even they are great games too, don't get me wrong.
Someone should do a make of In Memorian, that gimmick sounds really interesting. I'd like to see something like that in a mystery game
no thank you virus. I am not having porn going up on stream.
How would that even go up to your stream? It's not like you deleted it and surprise! it suddenly popped in the stream?
I imagine how it would look
Or the best way to impress someone with a dick pics
Is it just me or does the nintendo conference part has no sound?
Same here
Turn volume up then I heard it just not that much
Same
Yeah same. It's part of the vid.
Maybe he's calling Microsoft silly and they have censored him. Conspiracy much?
"Final Fantasy XV would smell of hair product."
Me: *coughs up the orange juice she was drinking* 😂😂😂
Did you refer to yourself in first and then third person...
@@FordRangerClassics that is an impressive level of wrong
I'm really surprised you didn't mention Monster Rancher's gimmick of generating monsters with music CDs.
5:08 Actually, Virus The Game got that idea from a previous Windows 3.1 game called Inner Space. It had the exact same "go inside your computer and clear out the file structure" format, except it used a top-down view with Star Control-style spaceship combat. It's quite likely the best Win 3.1 game ever made, and it's a real shame it's never been remade.
Hahahaha the sun ray gun thingie wont work here!! i live in norway (far west side) and we dont have sunny weather here until spring and summer. Every day inbetween is just cloudy and ominous, basicly

No Eternal Darkness? The game that literally took control of your TV by changing inputs or volume levels? Shame.
Eternal Darkness is da bomb!
Haven't played it in years
God I miss that crazy arse game, one of the few games ever to truly FUCK WITH THE PLAYER XD
Dose anyone else not get the audio about the heart rate sensor?
+herbertcrab armadylan I don't hear it either. Wtf?
I don't either
Probably due to Nintendo's insane copyright laws on UA-cam and they don't want the video getting a strike so they muted it.
+herbertcrab armadylan it's there just way quieter than the rest of the video
Does not dose0
"I'm scared" was pretty cool. First time I ever was afraid of an 8 bit indie game. It could mess with your computer system, create files and send you files, crash itself and when you tried to reboot it on steam it asks you weird questions before opening. It even opened UA-cam by itself to give you more info on the game.
Andy you nearly killed me with that scratch and sniff Aliens Colonial Marines bit.
