The Iwata segment was a beautifully written and sweet retelling of his life. Even after all this time, his passing strikes so deeply.
Thank you for turning an entry that disrespected him and his legacy to one that honored it and gave him his much deserved flowers. 🖤

"Wow, Greg. Just wow. You've outdone yourself with the Zelda and Link models for the trailer. How do you plan on giving Ganondorf a new look? "
"You're gonna adore it! I sketched the concept art last night. The Son of the Mask came on HBO just as the LSD was kicking in, and then inspiration struck!"

Used this video to unwind before going to work. Super entertaining and informative, great job !

Good info, well written, non-A.I. narration with some personality, strong editing...you've got my subscription!

The interview on Mother 64's concellation does confirm porting to the GC was already too much work after spending years developing the game, Miyamoto was realistic about the development of Mother 64 taking so long it wasn't viable to continue and given how game development worked at the time it was very hard to even confirm if they had half game done. Iwata did everything he could to keep the project afloat and was as passionate as Itoi, but Itoi also had ideas and concepts that were too demanding to the console or hard to execute. I highly recommend giving it a read! Its bittersweet but its a touching interview that shows how hard they tried and how much they cared about the game.

surprised to see a nintendo iceberg with only "nintendo was involved with the yakuza" and not "donkey kong was bluto" or "belgian waffle," those seems like gimmes for icebergs

You forgot to mention DMA design Is ROCKSTAR GAMES! ROCKSTAR MADE A KIRBY GAME AT ONE POINT

Edit: im a impatient idiot he mentioned it

17:29 also fun fact. Sega did this exact thing with the internet with the sega channel. And that was a success and even inspired modern digital game storefronts

Tom nook is Tom hanks and animal crossing is just a stand in for Scientology 😂

Glad to hear you brought up the Gunpei Yokoi murder conspiracy

As for L is real, people always say “the mystery was solved” but it wasn’t. Nobody knows what the statue in the court yard actually says. And I thought that was the entire mystery.

Prior to the gigaleak everyone knew Luigi was originally in the game, miyamoto said so years ago. But the real mystery is the star statue.

I believe the existence of multiple (!) Nintendo love hotels has never been proven, however that might be half-knowledge. Amazing videos however, I enjoyed every second of them!
