@M6A6T6T Nintendo were really hedging their bets with DS. They claimed it was a 3rd pillar initially. Once it was well received, they ditched GBA. If people had hated 2 screens they may have ditched DS and refocused on GBA.
@@M6A6T6TInterestingly? Nintendo used GBA hardware in their handheld console line until the Switch, which is why there’s no need to emulate those games. So the GBA is probably the longest existing GameBoy product on the market with the most variations.
4:52 "a mid-90s gaming handheld rivaling the most powerful home console at the time sounds like a load of bollocks" When the 16-bit Atari Lynx came out in '89, it had hardware scaling that the most powerful home console at the time (Genesis/MegaDrive) notoriously lacked. Of course, one could reasonably argue that the Lynx failed precisely because it was too advanced (read: power hungry and expensive).
Interesting to hear that the grotesque boss designs in Wario Land 4 were meant to make the game feel more western. To me, that kind of thing feels extremely Japanese.
4:52 "And frankly, a mid-90s gaming handheld rivaling the most powerful home console at the time, sounds like, well, a load of old bollocks" You legend.
Really interesting to learn the origins of the GBA's Multi boot mode! I've done a lot of shenanigans with the gamecube in trying to get the lost character Chao's into an english copy of SA2 Battle, and my time doing the Tails chao quest in Phantasy star online and the parts link in medabots infinity were the only reason I knew multi boot mode even existed! Great video
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that noticed, it does seem like it's AI! Also the narrator is not credited in the description, idk if that's normal for them or not if it's not a guest.
That's the thing I really love about outlets like this channel, talking about games that I grew up playing with... and sharing tidbits I never knew about. Like with Wario Land 3... I would play the crud out of that, trying to find all the secrets I could possibly find (that one darn Music Coin, notwithstanding... many likely know which one I mean ^^; )... and never EVER once in my life going back to this title, did I thought to stand idle on a ladder to see an idle animation I haven't seen yet in over 20 years. Seeing that segment of Wario scratching his butt... it blew my mind that the creators went that far to include it. They didn't have to, but I think it's amazing they went the extra mile to give Wario such personality. =D
@@ashleybreadgirls1228 Happens from time to time when they have to do re-recordings later (because of script revisions, etc). It's pretty hard to match the exact same tone and whatnot in different recording sessions.
that's a complaint I had back then. I've even asked makers of GBA FPGA cores for the Analogue Pocket to add support for the extra buttons, so I can add them in my game
well, i greatly prefer that over youtubers that leave their incorrectly recorded lines in the video and have the editor put a correction note on screen, because they couldn't be bothered to rerecord
18:34 To me, this is what totally destroyed the fun in playing Wario. I absolutely adore to explore and find every single secret, check every nook and cranny. Adding those time limits + making all the levels an gigantic maze with several confusing paths just made Wario 4 super frustrating to play. I can see why others might like it. But it definitely wasn't for me.
knew about the gb mobile adapter bc of its connectivity with mario golf. super cool that they were doing mario kart tournaments online even before mk wii
Well that's a great explanation for why the GBA has such a strange RAM configuration. 32K of fast RAM and 64K of fast VRAM both internal to the processor, then 256K of slow RAM on a separate chip. All done because devs wanted more RAM, and they couldn't add any more RAM onto the main processor. The CPU only runs your code at full speed if your code is stored in the fast RAM. Runs slowly if the code is on the slow RAM or the cartridge. They fixed that on the NDS by using cache, so it mattered a lot less which memory your code was running from.
Really not a fan of the use of AI for recording some of the lines in this video. A lot of my interest in videos like this is the human element involved - not just trivia, but the fact that someone thought it was interesting and just wanted to talk about it. It feels muddy and disingenuous to use AI to fill in gaps -- I'd much rather let something be sincere and a little messy, instead of pristine yet processed. It reminds me of something I'd heard in conversation awhile back about the use of machine learning/artificial generation technology in art, writing, etc. "Why should I bother to read something you couldn't be bothered to write?" I've been thinking about that phrase ever since.
Okay, all those details about Atlantis? I genuinely didn't know about 'em 'til now. I also had no idea that Wario Land 4's Japanese manual was... well, like that. Or maybe I did and I just forgot about it. Ah well. Always great to hear new facts from you guys!
1:37 I'm not sure why, but I really like the visual design of that Atlantis prototype, I know its unlikely, but I hope we get to see what the back of it looks like someday (I wonder if it had trigger buttons)
It's exactly what I hate about "Kirby's Epic Yarn." The collectables in that game had no real purpose, so the collection aspect didn't work, either, and the basic gameplay isn't good enough to make up for those issues. That being said, I also hate strict time limits in games, so "Wario Land 4" still doesn't work for me. They should've stopped at just adding the health bar.
Real cool to hear all that stuff about Atlantis and how it never came to be, I'd be all for more of that in future videos. Also didn't know IntSys made GBA mario kart- guess I just never paid attention during credits. Explains how it's an outlier in the franchises history... still pretty good for their first try, both in the game and on the hardware.
"karts don't work under water" yeah and they also don't get boosts from mushrooms. Miyamoto makes some baffling criticisms and decisions during development
I don't know if this is the sort of info you guys need, but this video didn't show up on my sub feed, but did on my home feed. I've been subbed for yeeeears.
It was too late for Wario Land: Shake It as Nintendo ruined the series a year prior with Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company.
@@Austinator0630 That makes zero sense, that's as if saying it's too late for Yoshi's Woolly World because the Yoshi franchise was already ruined by Yoshi's New Island. ...coincidentally, Yoshi's Woolly World was made by the same development team as Wario Land: Shake It, Good-Feel, and is also excellent.
@@ArendAlphaEagle Yoshi's New Island & Yoshi's Island DS don't apply here because both games actually flesh out the barebone plot of the snes original. On the other hand, what made Wario: Master of Disguise damaging is it's release four years after 2003's wario world. That and the fact that the game is a 2d puzzle platformer on a handheld starring wario.
@@Austinator0630 Then what's the point of bringing up Wario: Master of Disguise? Why say it's "too late" for Wario Land: Shake It because of Master of Disguise? Since my point is that, like Yoshi's Woolly World, Wario Land: Shake It is a good game that may suffice as a true sequel to Wario Land 4, then Wario: Master of Disguise doesn't need to be part of the conversation, i.e. irrelevant. In fact, if Master of Disguise is a bad Wario Land game, then one could argue that Wario Land: Shake It is a _return to form._ Also, who's saying anything about _plot?_ I brought up Yoshi's New Island as an equivalent to Wario: Master of Disguise because New Island is also generally considered a bad game, mainly for soundtrack and gameplay reasons... the later applying to WMoD as well.
Man, I played the crap out of Wario Land 4. For some reason, I could never find one of the triangle shards in one particular level no matter how much I looked, though I cant seem to remember which one. I should get back to it one day, was one of my favorites on the console.
_Pokémon Emerald_ is the best Pokémon game in the generation. Gameplay-wise, the overworld Ability effects like from Synchro, Static, Magnet Pull, Meromero Body, and Compound Eyes are fun to use like the Pokémon are actually helping your character hunt as their training.
Oh hey, I wasn't the only one who noticed. I think all the part where the narrator talks about the Project Atlantis details might have been AI dubbed. It's jarring every single time, and it doesn't help that they tried stitching non-AI recordings with AI recordings in some sections. Guess they didn't have time to re-record lines.
Not too long ago I did a playthrough with my brother of FF7R1 where I made a joke about Cloud having a fear of ladders. I decided it'd be funny if EVERY video game character had a fear of ladders. I meant it sarcastically, but hearing that canonically Wario IS afraid of ladders, makes me wonder how many others are too.
You should have commissioned someone to draw a few visuals to help explain the processing mechanics of the ARM processor. I kept expecting at least a simple graphic of blocks to represent sizes. Shoot, I could have drawn you something to help make it easier for people if you wanted.
Dude Warioland 4 is hands down my favorite GBA game of ALL time. Dude I really wish I could just buy it off the eShop for switch. I sunk so many hours into this. Been wanting a new game for years
18:10 I'm sad they came to that conclusion because in hindsight the invinsibility of 2 and 3 is what makes the series unique and unlike any other of the thousands of other platformers out there where you can die, from Nintendo as well as others.
Trust me when I say, as a kid growing up in the 2000s. They succeeded in making Wario appeal to Americans, and yes the art style was a big factor in that. The bosses looked like 90s cartoon villains or something you'd see from a fun gross-out movie. It worked well to appeal to that kind of crowd.
@@zynux8252Nintendo has a long and terrible history of throwing their in-house IPs to questionable companies. For example, 2007's Wario: Master of Disguise was made by Suzak Incorporated which at the time was a shovelware company.
Spirit ashes aren’t even really an “easy” mode since whole mini dungeons and item collection to upgrade the ashes are clearly built into the gameplay loop to at least STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to use them. Plus the number of duo bosses also lends evidence to the use of ashes being built into the game.
Surprised Nintendo never conceptualised an official portable SNES handheld akin to SEGA’s Nomad. I reckon it would’ve been pretty rad to play them back in the mid-late 90’s even if the battery life blew chunks.
11:25 what do you mean by pokemon gen 3? all of gen 3 (Ruby, sapphire, fire red, leaf green, and emerald) or just RSE? or just RS? saying gen 3 implies all of them but I'm assuming you wouldn't count all 5 games with how you worded it.
Wario Land 4, the last Nintendo developed Wario Land......I miss that intimate love for Wario. I will give credit for Wario Land Shake It sharing a similar type of love for Warios appeal but man do I miss my treasure hunter compared to "haha big nose farts and incompetence" that has taken over in the absence of Land games.
Don't expect Wario Land to return anytime soon. Nintendo actually ruined Wario Land with Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company.
I love the GBA, it was the first ever gaming console i ever had and i discovered so many of my favorite games on that thing, like fire emblem and advance wars. I first played Pokemon on the GBA, i played every RPG i could get my hands on for the GBA (even the terrible eragon adaptation) there are so many great games on that thing. I wish i still had my original but i gave it away to someone when i got a ds lite
The clockspeed being higher than the N64s doesn't mean it would be on par with it, or even remotely close. Clock speed alone doesn't tell you much. Arch and transistor count massively effect it. You could have an energy efficient low power 3GHz chip being waaaaay slower than a bigger power budget desktop chip running at the same 3GHz.
Bro Miyamoto really does hit you with weirdest takes. I guess to get an idea approved you just gotta roll the dice and hope hes feeling wacky enough to say yes that day.

Dude Warioland 4 is hands down my favorite GBA game of ALL time. Dude I really wish I could just buy it off the eShop for switch. I sunk so many hours into this. Been wanting a new game for years
Don't get your hopes up. Nintendo actually ruined Wario Land with Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company.
It's interesting that when Wario 4's developers thought "American" they apparently thought "Earthworm Jim! That's the ticket!".
You know when DYKG says they got facts never heard before they aren't lying
18:10 I'm sad they came to that conclusion because in hindsight the invinsibility of 2 and 3 is what makes the series unique and unlike any other of the thousands of other platformers out there where you can die, from Nintendo as well as others.
Trust me when I say, as a kid growing up in the 2000s. They succeeded in making Wario appeal to Americans, and yes the art style was a big factor in that. The bosses looked like 90s cartoon villains or something you'd see from a fun gross-out movie. It worked well to appeal to that kind of crowd.
None of this matters because Nintendo later ruined Wario Land with Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company.
Never got to experience SNES growing up. That's where GBA came in.
I love these GBA game facts!
Was Wario Land Shake It not a true entry in the series?
They probably meant developed in-house. Shake It was outsourced to Good-Feel
Yes, but Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company ruined the series as a whole thanks to being released a year prior.
@@zynux8252Nintendo has a long and terrible history of throwing their in-house IPs to questionable companies. For example, 2007's Wario: Master of Disguise was made by Suzak Incorporated which at the time was a shovelware company.
Spirit ashes aren’t even really an “easy” mode since whole mini dungeons and item collection to upgrade the ashes are clearly built into the gameplay loop to at least STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to use them. Plus the number of duo bosses also lends evidence to the use of ashes being built into the game.
Surprised Nintendo never conceptualised an official portable SNES handheld akin to SEGA’s Nomad. I reckon it would’ve been pretty rad to play them back in the mid-late 90’s even if the battery life blew chunks.
1:46 Sooo, was its name based on the Atlanta Olympic Games or not?
11:25 what do you mean by pokemon gen 3? all of gen 3 (Ruby, sapphire, fire red, leaf green, and emerald) or just RSE? or just RS? saying gen 3 implies all of them but I'm assuming you wouldn't count all 5 games with how you worded it.
Wario Land 4, the last Nintendo developed Wario Land......I miss that intimate love for Wario. I will give credit for Wario Land Shake It sharing a similar type of love for Warios appeal but man do I miss my treasure hunter compared to "haha big nose farts and incompetence" that has taken over in the absence of Land games.
Don't expect Wario Land to return anytime soon. Nintendo actually ruined Wario Land with Wario: Master of Disguise which was made by a shovelware company.
To think this was scrapped and the virtual boy was shat upon us
It's funny how I understand about ARM processor out of knowhere
I love the GBA, it was the first ever gaming console i ever had and i discovered so many of my favorite games on that thing, like fire emblem and advance wars. I first played Pokemon on the GBA, i played every RPG i could get my hands on for the GBA (even the terrible eragon adaptation) there are so many great games on that thing. I wish i still had my original but i gave it away to someone when i got a ds lite
Was gonna do something productive, but then DYKG happened. Priorities.
Warioland 4 is the only gba game I remember really playing to completion.
The clockspeed being higher than the N64s doesn't mean it would be on par with it, or even remotely close. Clock speed alone doesn't tell you much. Arch and transistor count massively effect it. You could have an energy efficient low power 3GHz chip being waaaaay slower than a bigger power budget desktop chip running at the same 3GHz.
What is with the audio? Something seems a little off.
Speaking of Mario kart, I have had the Doubledash Circuit theme stuck in my head for about 3 weeks. I hope it’s not a tumor 😬
Nice new dkyg vid!👀
is some of this narration ai generated? some of the lines sound strange
Bro Miyamoto really does hit you with weirdest takes. I guess to get an idea approved you just gotta roll the dice and hope hes feeling wacky enough to say yes that day.
8:06 Hey! Look! A young Drake Bell doing a Pokemon Commercial!
Yeah that's the Drakester alright! Love watching Drake and Josh.
The NSA trying to put some good ol' American freedom into that ARM processor, nothing new here.
I preferred WL 2/3 over 4 and really don't think it was a design flaw.
