    Hey it’s me Derek! Seriously, thanks for watching! I know I’ve been gone for a little bit and I wanted to come back BIG but the Zeebo was too big for just one video! Stay powerful! | Go to buyraycon.com/ssff for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
    Edit: because of a copyright claim for Armageddon Squadron, I had to remove the music at 41:10. UA-cam has a new thing to remove music but keep the voice over, so the quality of the narration drops but it’s better than the whole segment being muted. Plus I don’t have to give most or all the ad revenue to someone else over 45 non-consecutive seconds of a 48 minute video.

      I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video.
      Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game .
      A Game of Eggs/Um jogo de Ovos: It's a game based on the Mexican movie "A Movie of Eggs", as silly as it sounds it's actually a pretty good 2D platformer and even had a really fun cool multiplayer, I dreamed of seeing this game being re-released on WiiWare, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it never happened.
      An honorable mention also goes to Zenonia, it's an excellent RPG and the Zeebo version was the only one that had a Portuguese translation, this game is (or was) available on the DSi Shop on the Nintendo DSi, eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Playstation Store on the PSP, PSVita and PS3 too, I recommend giving it a go, it's a great game.

    Just a small correction at 30:46, it is not that the PC has the full game (although it has). What the comment meant was that the RE4 PC version SOLD by Fullgames was cheaper. Fullgames was a monthly magazine in Brazil that always had a CD/DVD game with it, sold for like R$ 18,00 (something like US$ 4 or US$ 5). The magazine edition with Resident Evil was also released in 2009.

    The Jiangshi (Chinese hopping Vampire) have blue skin. As do a lot on Asian monsters. The blue enemies on the flip phone version were likely a way to make it clear that players were killing undead/supernatural monsters rather than people. Which would make the game more acceptable to play in public. It may even have something to do with censorship laws, especially if they wanted to release it in China.

      Wait, so even only playing it in very short sessions only would still eventually kill the Zeebo if I understand correctly?
      It's a cumulative thing and doesn't reset when you turn off and back on your Zeebo (or maybe completely unplug it)?
      If so, man that's freaking insaaaane!
      It litterally chips away at the consoles life in a sense for every second you spend on that game!
      Also, does the Zeebo have any "factory reset" feature accessible to the user?
      And if so, would that reset all that cumulated crap in the eMMC?
      (Assuming you'd do so before it bricks obviously. And yeah it'd come with it's own massive downsides doing so of course. Considering all your saves are gone and even your games you paid for and can't download anymore nowadays. [AFAIK anyway])

    Oh man, that comment about fullgames, unlocked some core memories to me. here in brazil, back in the time, we had a magazine called "fullgames" that came with a CD with, not surprisingly, a fullgame, usually old and/or lesser kown games, but i bought the issue with RE4, and probrally have the CD/DVD laying around somewhere. That a bit of brazilian gaming history

      Yeah, and at the time Zeebo released, Fullgames had one issue that came with the first PC port of RE4 (the buggy, Ubisoft one), that cost something like R$15,00 IIRC (around US$5,00 at the time, and US$3,00 now).
      So, basically, it was a much better deal to buy the magazine and get the game for PC than buy a Zeebo and get a bad port of RE4.

I cannot understate how much of a non-entity this console was over here. I don’t know a single person who knew this shit ever existed.
    We had a Saturday morning tv show about Nintendo that broadcasted on a national over-the-air network that lasted 5 years throughout the 90s. We had an official Nintendo magazine for Mexico that lasted 30 years. We had Nintendos at home (and Xbox and PlayStation). Zeebo was for no one.

These wooden carts are like a skateboard that you sit on, but the front axle is only held by a frame in the middle, so you place your feet close to the ends of this front axle, and use it to control the direction, while the car runs downhill.

    I was a developer at Tectoy Digital from mid-2008 until its end in 2011 and witnessed the whole Zeebo weirdness from inside, really strange (but cool) days. As bizarre as it may seem now, much of those decisions made sense at the time (even when things got really weird, what we'll hopefully see in part 2). Others, to this day, still make me wonder what they were thinking (and by "they" I mean mostly Qualcomm and whoever approved that Ridge Racer port).
    IIRC, from the point this video ends (late 2009) until the beginning of the end (late 2010) the quantity and quality of games increased significantly. So did the weirdness factor, as focus shifted from mostly sports / racing to educational games. There were some last-minute China-only educational games that I'm not sure they were even released (but that's some great material for the next video if they were).

    Fullgames was a magazine that "gave away" full PC games as a "gift". It was actually a way to tumble through the tax system and sell games paying magazine taxes. They were a mainstream trend in the early 2000s, after the demo-filled CD gifts in PC magazines of the late 90s.

    Thanks for the new episode! My day always gets brighter when I see a SSFF video light up on my subscription feed.
    Recently I had my own kinda SSFF experience when I got an Oculus Quest 2. One of the first things I wanted to do with it wasn't even to play VR-only games. It was to experience Final Fantasy 14 with VR. Which is an unofficial/unsupported fan mod. It was a bit of a challenge to get it working, but the payoff was worth it. Let me tell you; if you've been playing an MMO for this long, it's a whole new world when you experience it at ground level from character POV. Especially in 14 where there's some downright GORGEOUS locales. I just wish I didn't get motion sick after about 10-15 minutes of it.
    Regardless, when I got it working I thought to myself "Uncle Derek would be proud" :P

Maybe if they ever make a Double Dragon collection, they'll include Zeebo Dragon as a bonus. Probably not, but I can dream

    I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video.
    Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game .
    A Game of Eggs/Um jogo de Ovos: It's a game based on the Mexican movie "A Movie of Eggs", as silly as it sounds it's actually a pretty good 2D platformer and even had a really fun cool multiplayer, I dreamed of seeing this game being re-released on WiiWare, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it never happened.
    An honorable mention also goes to Zenonia, it's an excellent RPG and the Zeebo version was the only one that had a Portuguese translation, this game is (or was) available on the DSi Shop on the Nintendo DSi, eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Playstation Store on the PSP, PSVita and PS3 too, I recommend giving it a go, it's a great game.

    If you search for "Bomba Patch PS2", you will find a gallore of mods for what was the most famouos soccer game in Brazil, PES (Winning Eleven back in the day). These Bomba Patches (literally patch bomb) would update the last PS2 game to whatever year they were out, with custom player names, visuals and uniforms, so kids with only PS2 were actually always playing the latest stuff.
    These patches still exist to this day, so PS2' Winning Eleven Bomba Patch 2023 is a thing!
