Right? It was one of the few games I had at the time so I spent so long in it getting all the skins and then ol Gobby shows up and I was like "This will look funny swinging around as Green" only to be greeted with GOBLIN GLIDEEEEEEEEEER!
Honestly I am low-key kinda hate myself because I didn't even know about this until now, and I had this game which I can't play anymore because it's broken and too scratched to even work and I still have my Playstation 2 that still works but I can't play this game and I'm annoyed because I didn't know I can play as the goblin himself
It wasn't hidden but it wasn't common knowledge either because no one read game modules. Just like no one knew that the bricks you break in the original Mario Brothers tied with Duck Hunt are citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom transformed
@@jasonwethy8360everyone read the manual back then. Had to do something with the game on the drive back, or while killing time after opening presents but before being allowed to play.
There was an extra "secret" on Mortal Kombat on Megadrive (Genesis) too, if you enable to "cheat menu" you can flag the shadow to always appear and use first background to arrange it so the pit stage appeared during the endurance 2v1 match. Then if you get a double flawless/fatality/no block you fight reptile AND a weird bugged out version of whoever was second in the endurance match with half their colours palette swapped green and a messed up move set. It was odd.
I stumbled upon the Snake Eater easter egg in the coolest way. If Snake has a bat in his inventory and calls Para-Medic, he'll let slip that he's scared of vampires and that they give him nightmares. Later in the prison, if you save the game, Para-Medic will talk to Snake about the movie Dracula, which freaks him out. On a hunch, I restarted the game and, lo and behold, the secret nightmare minigame! God bless you, Hideo, you beautiful, crazy man.
Here’s another big one: the secret level in Starcraft. The 2nd-to-last mission in the Brood War expansion pack requires the Zerg to defeat Zeratul’s Protoss forces in less than 30 minutes, which is no easy task in and of itself. But if you do it in under 25 minutes, the game unlocks a Protoss level that shows Zeratul’s departure and a final encounter with Duran, who reveals that his actual mission is to create a Zerg/Protoss hybrid. It also explains why Duran’s otherwise-unexplained absence from the final battle.
Reptile was *widely known* about almost immediately after Mortal Kombat came out. All the gaming magazines were hinting towards him back then, and he was the talk of the school yard. When I rented the game back in 4th grade, my buddies and I tried to unlock the fight against him, and eventually managed to do so.
No... Reptile wasn't almost immediately known about when Mortal Kombat was first released. You need to understand that console versions of Mortal Kombat didn't come out for OVER a year after the arcade version. That first year in the arcade made this one of the most cryptic games at the time. Fatalities were found on accident. Reptile was added until revision 2. So any of us in the arcade who played the game in and out wouldn't so much as ever see a hint of Reptile because he simply didn't exist.
I played and loved Spider man 1 on PS2 and do indeed hate myself for not knowing about the playable Green Goblin, however I also regret getting stuck on the Shocker subway tunnels.

In the second level of the Area 51 mission in Perfect Dark, at the top of the first elevator, go left and you can get a keycard from one of the guards. Don’t kill him! Shoot his gun from his hand and disarm him. This card opens up the door behind him where you can pick up the alien pistol, and view the past level layout through a window! I think the pistol is called the Phoenix, but don’t quote me on that.
The duck hunt "secret" isn't a secret. People just forgot about it because of new consoles and games. If I remember correctly, the case even said two players on it...
@@spoonshue I guess I'm an exception, as I read the manual whenever I got a new game. So yes, I did know about this one. ...Almost never played that way, but still.
It's an engagement trick to get people to comment on videos and increase its place in the algorithm. UA-cam actually recommends it to increase said engagement.
The second player controlling the ducks wasn't a big secret that Seth Rogan accidentally discovered. I imagine a lot of people probably found this out like I did, while waiting your turn to play duck hunt at your buddies house.
YEAH THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THIS GUY NARRATING ITS JUST NOT WORKING. ANNOYING VOICE, UNNECESSARY INFLECTIONS MISS PRONOUNCING THE NAMES OF GAME CAHRACTERS.
My brother and I figured out the duck hunt secret by accident while renting the game. And I still have my launch copy of Snake Eater so I need to get on that nightmare section. The Mortal Kombat Reptile deal was awesome back in the day. A bunch of us would hang out at the cabinet and discuss the rumors we had heard until we figured out how to access Reptile. Talk about a celebration when we achieved it and the owner was just as invested as we were to the point he unlocked it so we could play for free as long as we bought snacks and drinks. Now those were the days!
Rogan was not responsible for discovering the Duck Hunt 2P mode, just popularizing it. My cousin and I even figured that out when we were single digit ages (I'm 30) and never played it any other way again. Seems like it was probably one of those things where the people who knew figured it was common knowledge.
10:50 - Oh, so like Turok 1's cheat code called "Pen & Ink Mode"... Which oddly isn't accessible in the remaster for whatever reason alongside a small handful of other old cheats.
1. You could’ve learned about the duck hunt player control duck if you… Check notes… Read the instruction manual 🙄 2. I figured out you could play as the goblin way back when I got the game which probably would’ve been no later than 2004 Probably more like 2003
How did people not know about controlling the ducks? My friends and I figured it out back in the late 80’s when we first got a Nintendo in the neighborhood and we where all under 10
I've known the first secret for years. Found out about it when playing with my dad. He was shooting and I started fumbling with the controller when I found out I was controlling the ducks and making my father miss every shot. Damn, was he pissed when he realized it.
Reptile code: Hop on one leg while running under the moon while not using shampoo after 4 weeks while having a set score and not dying but only if u see the witch on Wednesdays. 🤦🏿♂️
OMG thank god for this video “ number 8 snakes’s nightmare” I thought this was a fever dream I SWEAR I couldn’t even remember what game this happened in up until 5 mins ago all I could remember was I once played a game that for some weird reason turned into a hack n slash game in grayscale OUT OF NOWHERE😂 I should have known it was a video Kojima game
I suggested the Green Goblin code on the FGS channel that Jules is a part of that they used on their video! Blew my mind when I was younger, such a fun idea!
The 3rd chapter from Persona 5R. Landing on your feet when you’re thrown in EVERY SINGLE Streets of Rage game. I lost 100s of lives throughout the games not knowing this until about 2011. SOR4 was a blast and I was ready.
Oh I knew about the ducks in duck hunt alright. I used to screw with my friends when I was a kid because they didn't. They'd be up there tryna shoot and I'd be back behind them using the controller to make the ducks go crazy. They could never figure out why I was laughing my azz off so hard. Thought I was just laughing at them sucking. Ahh. Good times... I also knew about Green Goblin. Just thought I'd throw that in there lol.
I kinda knew the duck hunt thing when it was released, was playing with my sis when I noticed that whenever I press right the duck would go right somehow. Although that moment was shocking really. Snake's nightmare, I thought it was part of the game and unmissable, the others on the list, I had no idea they existed to this day.
I Remember As A Kid Playing As The Green Goblin As Soon As The Game Originally Came Out Along With The Unlimited Webbing And Invincibility And All Costumes Code Also The Codebreaker Codes
I discovered by accident that Glenn in Chrono Cross has the ability to wield twin swords after getting Dario's sword from his grave on the home world. Imagine my surprise upon discovering neither of those facts are common knowledge.

Pretty sure spider man ruined my expectations going forward with bonus content in games. Or i guess just raised the bar that much that nothing short of whole dlc style extras felt good enough to unlock lol
Who remembers down up left left a right down and abacabb, In regards to not knowing about all the secrets in video games in the early '90s my dad worked at a corporation and they had internet and so my friend and I periodically would go to work with my dad and download all the codes and cheats and then print them thank you game revolution
im sorry you were expecting people to be shocked about the duck racing? I hope not, because that is old as hell and probably everyone knows that. I didn't play any SHamue game and knew about it...
I love the Scorpio catch phrase "Come nearer to me!"
That’s all you remember from that 15 min video? Plus he only said it once, jeez you must be fun at parties smh
@ThaBotmon based on your ability to take a joke, you must be thrilling to hang out with...

It’s an expression btw
@@ThaBotmon it's not, it's a dumb internet "insult", like Karen and the other stpd non "insults" out there
"secret" is used very loosely for the duck hunt thing.... It was in the instruction manual!
I remember playing as Green Goblin. I remember being so shocked when I realized it wasn’t just a skin.
That was crazy awesome, not that there was much to do, but flying around like that was so amazing.

Yeah, this was common knowledge to anyone who ever visited a cheat code site. It's like saying the jetpack in GTA:SA was a secret.
I probably replayed it more as goblin than spidey it was sick
The duck hunt one was common knowledge as a child of the 80s.
Yeah, I thought they mentioned it in the manual, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. But it was certainly known in the time of the NES.
It wasn't hidden but it wasn't common knowledge either because no one read game modules. Just like no one knew that the bricks you break in the original Mario Brothers tied with Duck Hunt are citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom transformed
Only for people who had little brothers. Lol.

Reptile was far from a recent discovery. People knew about it way back when. And Scorpio?
It was literally in magazines of the time 🙄

Its Scorpion, not Scorpio.
That was obviously a play on words🤦🏾♂️
He knows his name every one does he was just trying to rhyme it with sub-Zero's name in a poorly executed joke lol
@@TLKTME it came across to me as somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about.

I love that movie

One of my favorite "secrets" were the "mirror" tracks in the original Ridge Racer. And being able to swap out my own CDs for music.
Scorpio ♏ is my favorite character
Line mode was the first thing I thought of. Now I have a hankering to play it on Switch Goldeneye
THE BEST WAY TO PLAY THE SPIDER-MAN MOVIE GAME IS AS MARY JANE WATSON. IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN RESCUE AND MAKE OUT WITH YOURSELF IN THE ENDING.

I thought everyone knew about the ducks. We used to make each other mad as hell back in the day.
Duck Hunt, Mortal Kombat, Super Punch Out and Goldeneye were known to me and my friends back in the day... Gaming magazines... We bought tons of them.
We have known about the duck from duck hunt for 40 years.
Playing as green goblin takes me back,I'm glad i use to buy magazines and strategic gaming books. I think that's how i knew you could do this
I knew about the Duck Hunt thing back in 1986. Also discovered by accident, but yes, I knew you could control the duck with the second controller.

How did people not know about controlling the ducks? My friends and I figured it out back in the late 80’s when we first got a Nintendo in the neighborhood and we where all under 10
Making a 2 player mode hidden is an odd choice

Never knew about line mode in Goldeneye (not sure why anyone would want that) or the ps1 spiderman what if mode.
Spiderman 2000 is amazing. I played it on 64 not on Playstation but man that game is still a masterpiece to me.
Ah What If mode, still hands down one of the best alternate modes of any game.
Controlling the duck in Duck Hunt was definitely not unknown for too long. It was detailed in the instruction book.
Ryo is pronounced Ree-oh.
Controlling the ducks was not a secret. It literally tells you that you can do it in the manual.
I've known about number 10 every since the '80s and had no idea it was a secret😂
If you placed the Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds disc into a DVD player, Star Wars music would start playing.

Spider-man 3 game let you play as Harry Ozbourne green goblin character with a slighly different story.
I prefered to play as Green Goblin when I was a kid. You actually play as Harry in a sequel story that makes sense between 2 and 3.

I knew about being able to be green goblin. Because someone I used to be friends with.
Had the game and he beat it on all difficulties and showed me.
I had a cheat book in 2002 with the green goblin code it was awesome!!
I discovered by accident that Glenn in Chrono Cross has the ability to wield twin swords after getting Dario's sword from his grave on the home world. Imagine my surprise upon discovering neither of those facts are common knowledge.

I already knew about the Spider-Man discoveries for both the PS1 and PS2 games thanks to cheat codes
Elmer fudd straight up gave entire generations a desensitized view of guns 😅
One of my favourites is in smash court tennis pro tournament 2 on the ps2 you can play as heihachi Mishima from the tekken games
SCORPIO 😂 dying. Clearly never played it from the trumpet theme and saying THAT name
Sausage Party is awesome.
I would also add mirror match mode from Street Fighter 2 vanilla on SNES. Idk if it worked on any other console.
I dont know what's more upsetting, him calling Scorpion Scorpio or the editor of the video saying "no problems here"

I grew up in that era and we just called it "the Nintendo." And its successor was "the Super Nintendo."
Why would seth rogan need to make up for sausage party? That movie was brilliant!
I knew about the duck hunt 2 player mode since like 1989, my dad could never hit me when i was the duck😂
Sorry you found out about that green goblin one so late lol I found out that same year or so
im sorry you were expecting people to be shocked about the duck racing? I hope not, because that is old as hell and probably everyone knows that. I didn't play any SHamue game and knew about it...
I use to play as green goblin all the time
You play as Harry though, not Norman, so no creepy Dafoe lines at all
