Seems like some companies have a nice archive of stuff they save for later if it could fit elsewhere. Another instance I could think of this is music from a cancelled sonic puzzle game being used for sonic 3's special stage. Unfortunately, it's probably a factor into why we don't always get development info from some of Nintendo's games.
They probably just didn’t want to go through the effort of creating something entirely new for such a small part of a niche software and just found some track in the archive that wasn’t being used for anything else. The 3DS was developed recently enough that loads of old prototype/unreleased stuff for it is probably still sitting on Nintendo’s internal company cloud storage.

The only reason I can think of as to why Wario Land II doesn't (officially) support cross-platform saving is that maybe Nintendo just wanted to be extra safe and avoid any possible save corruption?
@@robotortoiseat this point, I’m sure every interaction has been tested. I wonder if that was put in place sometime during development because of a save data bug that got patched? Maybe it was left in by accident?

Here's another useless trivia: Fans have been referring to the non-retro tracks in Mario Kart as "Nitro" tracks thanks to thier namesake in Mario Kart DS, but since Nitro is the codename for the actual NDS... people have been referring to the new tracks from MK7 - 8 - 8DX as "NDS Tracks"
@@resolvanlemmy I tried on my dsi and it works like on ds lite. My theory is that ds mode on 3ds doesn't allow access to the system's backlight brightness.

I've been playing Super Mario 64 DS on my 3DS recently and I took note of how the 3DS doesn't support the backlight setting. On a 3DS, the screen really does just turn off if anyone's wondering
Wario Land 2 wasn't the only game to do that. There was also Conker's Pocket Tales, which LITERALLY had two different games on it, with one being GB-coded (with save points and Zelda-style scrolling indoors) and the other being GBC-coded (with more difficult jumping and a bigger font). As such, if you try to switch systems, it'll bring up that "I'll delete your save data" warning to avoid its own confusion. As such, don't try that on VisualBoy Advance without telling it that it's strictly a GBC/Super GB, because that warning WILL pop up. Similarly, Beauty & The Beast: A Board Game Adventure has an unusual effect on VBA. Because it recognizes the GBC as its own thing, and recognizes the SGB to put on a border, it messes up the palettes if you don't tell it to be strictly a GBC or SGB. ...well, in a version of VBA from the late 2000s.
1:21 I was always wondering if the game would ever come to the online, so glad that I not only have a digital copy available to me but the legitimate cartridge that is so much fun to play. I really wish it was just the generic Yoshi game that's also a puzzle game that was in copyright limbo because man that one's just very basic All this one was so much fun to play but yeah I feel like the puzzle style really should be more popular but sadly I guess it's tied to a Mario franchise that then is tied in with multiple companies
In my experience, no trivia is useless throughout my life going to a few places that have like trivia prize parties they come up with the most obscure questions
Wario Land 2 made me even more conflicted about whether or not the Game Boy Color even deserves the status of "successor to the Game Boy". Does a DSi enhanced game not allow gameplay on older DS models as soon as a save file from the DSi is detected? I do not have any of the things mentioned to test so, please give me some info on this if possible, thank you. Man, the GBC is weird...
Game Boy Color was never intended to be the successor to the Game Boy, not even the developers at Nintendo consider it to be one. Before the Game Boy Color, they were working on a 32-bit handheld console, but because the total price would be too high due to costs and a piece of advice from president Hiroshi Yamauchi about not wasting money on unnecessary things (the president didn't know about the development of that handheld console) they ended up cancelling the 32-bit handheld console project. The reason why the Game Boy Color exists is for two reasons: the Wonderswan situation and the offer Sharp made to Nintendo to use color LCD screens on a handheld console. It is worth noting that game developers at Nintendo initially disliked the Game Boy Color because they felt it was a color update of the original Game Boy, companies close to Nintendo such as HAL, Game Freak/Creatures, Intelligent Systems and third party companies took more advantage of the Game Boy Color than Nintendo itself.
Who the hell listened to soundtrack of a scrapped game just to put it in Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit?!
They couldn't let it go to waste, they had to repurpose it; typical Nintendo behaviour, rescuing long-scrapped content from years ago.

Nintendo re-uses a lot of their obscure stuff in other games
Maybe whoever made the song also worked on vehicle kit later on and decided to bring it back

Yeah, maybe there's some weird specific interaction that breaks the game between platforms that no one has tested?

Wait, is THAT why 3DS emulator Citra is Citra?
also Yuzu was named after a different kind of citrus fruit because it was made by many of the same developers as Citra
5:56 i believe this also works on the dsi, however it's even _less_ visibile on it
I also think it works on the 3DS, but it just makes the screen go black or it’s just stupidly dark.
@ResetOnUA-cam i seem to remember hearing it doesn't work on 3ds since it uses different types of screens altogether
Yep, it also works on the DSi. I remember messing around with this setting on my DSi years ago.

Yoshi’s Cookie is an underrated game. More people need to play it.
Oddly, if you toggle backlight off in a ds game on 3ds, it'll just make the whole screen turn black. The backlight will still be on.
Does the DSi also behave like this, or is it the 3DS models specifically?
@@resolvanlemmy I tried on my dsi and it works like on ds lite.
