The Gamecube was the first console I ever owned. I played Double Dash until I had a gold trophy on literally everything.

The gun texture in Super Smash Brothers Melee can also be found on Peach's forward special when it uses the golf stick and has been a little known fact for years now thanks to the really dedicated competitive community having dissected it to hell and back.

I love how many of these are just out there already in interviews but because most people don't speak japanese they go unknown.

@Ultimate_Charizard 3 years ago

I was hoping they'd go into what inspirations Wind Waker did have if not European. The houses on Outset and other islands are clearly Polynesian style and there's a clear Incan inspiration for Gohdan but I don't know much more than that. Honestly Wind Waker isn't a game I thought of as being very non-European in the first place, considering that you ride around in a Viking-style boat to a soundtrack the devs themselves said came from Irish music.

Cant believe its been 22 years since Gamecube, time flies so fast

@KeebeThePlush 3 years ago

It’s pretty funny how Nintendo used moji moji kun to test out damage in the wind waker as opposed to a goblin

Baten Kaitos had such a fun gimmick to the card based battle system and always made it fun to play.

That wall riding bit for NASCAR is freaking insane!!

@tristancrumpler400 3 years ago

I'm sure the crossover between DYKG fans and NASCAR fans is slim. It cant be understated how wild that Chastain move really was y'all

11:47 AAAOOOOOGAAAH

@Phatbroom 3 years ago (edited)

Just something funny to point out: the example of "skinning" they had around 11:47 is actually an example of weight painting, where a 3d mesh is given control weight data from its skeleton, either automatically or manually.

I remember watching that race with my brother on tv, and is was crazy when he did that! Absolutely insane, literally balls the to wall move. Never expected to see it pop up in a DYKG video, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

That NASCAR factoid was bleeding hilarious!

@BlazeHeartPanther 3 years ago

We seriously need more Billy Hatcher DYKG vids. That game is severely underrated.

@one_man_well 3 years ago

Dang, thank you! I've always wondered what those statues in Super Monkey Ball's Expert's 41-50 were, seriously since I was a kid. Legit was bothering me, not finding any info about it. I've never felt so grateful for actually watching an entire 20 min video.
