THANKS for covering Europe. I'm really really tired of most regional differences videos being only JP vs USA.

[@Kyrokotei]

no bbc iPlayer tho. that channel was super cool (as a brit)

[@lucymorrison]

also, when other regions are brought up, everything that isn't the usa or asia is just called "europe" despite the fact that, idk, other continents exist??? pour one out for me and my australian/greater oceanian homies

[@Moli05]

​@@lucymorrisondoesn't Australia get the European versions of the games?

[@LandonEmma]

Bro hasn’t posted in years

[@fgfhjfhjfbhfghf5771]

​@@Moli05Usually but not always. Which is why it should be called the PAL version and not European. Only people I hate more then Americans who think the entire world is the US are Europeans who think the entire world is the US and Europe

[@toonpik7]

In Japan, a red circle always means correct or yes and a blue X always means incorrect or no. That's why those are the colors for those buttons on the older Playstation controllers as well.

[@Gestersmek]

It's also why, up until the PS5, Japanese PlayStation consoles used ◯ to confirm menu options and ⨯ to go back.

[@LandonEmma]

Yep

[@marten6578]

Confusing as heck, that's also why MGS 1 to 3 games didn't make any sense even in Western releases.

[@cipeman3498]

does the triangle/square mean anything? or are they just extra icons to fill in for the added buttons

[@LandonEmma]

@ It isn’t that. Confusing

[@Kizenon]

I love how in depth you go with these. So many videos I’ve seen just go “yeah people in Japan had a food delivery channel, moving on.” I loved actually learning about what it did

[@YoumuEnjoyer]

I love how you censored "fuck" with "fuck". Thats comedy gold right here

[@Gestersmek]

6:16 You can actually see these icons used in other versions of the Forecast Channel; if you check the weather of a place in Japan on the Globe view, it shows these icons in place of the standard international ones.

[@genericu2]

2:20 funnily enough, both covers are PAL, just the left one is Australian where the right one is European

[@CRCR0201]

7:19 Nintendo of Korea was established after the launch of the DS, and the Nintendo games/consoles before were released through collaborations with other companies. The Gamecube was released in korea as just an import, meaning it didn't have a unique region code. The only translated and localised parts were the boxes, manuals, discs and such, which was the case for prior console launches as well, though some games like Pokemon were translated. And since the Wii got its own region code through an official release by Nintendo of Korea, the games were incompatible, and since no Gamecube game ever releases through Nintendo of Korea, you couldn't play any GC games on a Korean Wii.

[@erechi]

they had change galaxy to wii bc there were 4 copyrighted brand names w the word "galaxy" in them. the full korean name is "super mario wii: galaxy adventure", with the galaxy adventure part being a subtitle

[@TekuJames]

ohh i love this. small correction on the food ordering service: the curry section isn't necessarily Indian food. Japanese curry is its own thing and popular in Japan (it's a favourite of mine too)!

[@RealBjohn]

The reason the Check Mii Out Channel has a Mii on a mountain in the Japan version is because at the end of a contest the Mii you uploaded or selected would climb a mountain. Depending on how well they did they would change how high they went up the mountain. The reason the icons for the Forecast Channel are more cartoonish in Japan is since Japan weather channels use similar icons while other parts of the would use more realistic icons. I also find it interesting how the Japan version of Wii Party has an outline over the text while the US version doesn't. They use the Outline design for Wii Party U. It would be cool to see a part two about DS regional differences.

[@Larry]

Most excellent video Sir!!! If it's possible now, it might be interesting to see the differences/exclusives on the Wii's virtual console!

[@beyondobscure]

3:05 text says "WII Motion Plus Variety" which is what it's called in Japan 3:43 text translates to "Introduction to Wii" or "First Time [of] Wii", はじめて means the first time doing something, an introduction

[@toonpik7]

The Forecast channel differences are so neat. The Japanese version looks like Japanese weather and variety show graphics. The international versions look more like what I saw on news programs in the US. They always had photorealistic weather graphics.

[@nankinink]

When the japanese weather forecast appeared I was like "wait, is this NHK's screen?" lol

[@Vinniflame]

as someone who is absolutely obsessed with regional differences in media, i love this video!! i’d love to see more and even contribute in any that cover the DS or 3DS :D

[@OrimaJam]

1:51 that’s incorrect, in japan, a blue cross (batsu ばつ) means “no” or “no good” while as you said the red circle (maruまる)means “yes” or “good”, also thwre are games internationally that still use the maru/batsu symbols (example cooking mama games)

[@Grane1234]

Something I find interesting is with Rhythm Heaven Fever The PAL version could technically be considered the definitive version since, even though almost all of the epilogue text for each game was changed, this version allows you to switch between English and Japanese vocals, something neither the US or JP version have

[@Gloryzuki]

6:09: Taiwanese Wiis were actually Japanese Wiis (just without some features), and most Taiwanese Wiis came out with Traditional Chinese games can be played with both it and Japanese Wiis

[@itsjohnnyboi]

Cool video! It's always so fascinating seeing the big and small regional differences each game could have.

[@rasmusrichardvesi2979]

[@Dento64GD]

6:37 The menus look like Windows 8 if it had less colour and bigger buttons. I love it!

[@kevintjekevin]

1:40 That's also why the O button on PlayStation used to be the confirm button and the X button the cancel button. (Up until and including PS4.)

[@IronPikachu724]

For some odd reason, this video just makes me want to have the Wii back as one of the "New" consoles... maybe Nintendo's next console could combine aspects from both the Switch and Wii, like a unique looking menu that could be navigated by hand-held, home-docked, and hopefully a "Wii Styled" mode with a point and press style, somehow get backwards compatibility with old Wii remotes (or just make a revamped version of the Wii remote and nunchucks for that console), and hopefully some built-in apps (which could be uninstalled and re-installed from their shop thing) that give it some unique characteristic like the old Wii apps did. Sure, Nintendo's next-gen console might not be something trying to be an "all-in-one" kind of thing the Wii was aiming for, but at least give us some optional features that could give the console some more uses than to play games (I think it would br funny in the next gen dock, if it combines aspects with the Wii, to have a disc reader that can read and play Wii games... and of course read and play movies)

[@resolvanlemmy]

I thought three under par was called "Albatross" everywhere. Apparently I thought wrong. I had no idea it could be referred to as "double eagle".

[@corwintipper7317]

I thought double eagle was a weird choice as an American

[@resolvanlemmy]

@corwintipper7317 I have to verify if it actually says "albatross" in the European English release of Wii Sports.

[@AlbertTheGamer-gk7sn]

@@resolvanlemmy It says it, but the announcer still says, "Double Eagle".

[@resolvanlemmy]

@AlbertTheGamer-gk7sn oh.

[@skaven666]

6:55 there is a heavy mandela effect there. i could've sworn the warning symbol was always yellow!

[@cyber_pirate]

10:15 my guess is because the US is far more touchy with religious concepts and this channel would likely have upset large communities (even if most of the country doesn’t care or views it positively)

[@kingofallgutters8581]

Video title should be “15 minutes of awesomeness”

[@w21aaaaa]

Japanese version of Rhythm Heaven fever also have an entire exclusive minigame that gets cut in Worldwide releases: Manzai. Most likely due to the cultural knowledge and localization headaches the minigame would bring since it relies heavily on understanding Manzai and the jokes are all Japanese puns. I do wish it got localized tho.

[@CRCR0201]

13:48 The game was retitled due to a lawsuit by Samsung regarding the name "Galaxy"

[@sumanthmoole]

video topic aside this is really well written and edited you deserve way more views and subs man, keep it up :)

[@Bc232klm]

Yo, the TV Guide channel looks so sleek. Wish the USA got more of that stuff.

[@ArcardyArcardus]

THANK YOU for covering Europe / PAL. Finally a video that compares the european version too!!

[@lazerkeyboard]

I think by far the most shocking thing is that Super Mario Galaxy released on an Nvidia device

[@NationX]

The fact that an official HD version of Super Mario Galaxy on a non-Nintendo console is out there is kind of eerie. I know about the China console ban at the time but still

[@presto-malesto2562]

Amazing video dude. You should definitely do more videos like this about different consoles, would be a great series!

[@killer7smith]

The Wii Sports Resort icons (and others) were obviously changed from the original Japanese to USA versions, and not the other way around

[@carrot860]

Wow, the Wii has so much differences, Thanks!

[@kyleplair4929]

The Korean Wii sports resort logo is similar to the beta logo which puts more emphasis on Wii sports rather than resort and puts resort to the side a little.

[@centraa.]

Good video, how about a 3DS regional differences one next?

[@hakureicirno6059]

Forecast channel for Japanese looks like a recreation of NHK’s weather report while the US one looks like the recreation of TWC.

[@jacobmacquarrie8903]

Even though the country of release for each Wii determines the starting space in Wii Party Globe Trot, if the language on each one determined the starting point too, the American English version starts in the States, the Latin Spanish version would start in Mexico, and the Canadian French version would start in Canada! In Europe, the British English version would start in the UK, the Castilian Spanish version would start in Spain, the European French version would start in France, the German version starts in Germany, and the Italian version would start in Italy!

[@musicflyer]

12:27 the title of the game in japanese is trump karuta (trump as in playing cards, they call those as trump cards), where you get your playing cards to play it the same way as karuta, which are japanese playing cards. they probably got rid of it on other regions because they probably thought the concept of playing karuta was only familiar for japanese people or something similar along the lines of what you said

[@luphinehowler2773]

I think it's kinda neat that Finland gets a mention in Wii Party.

I like your videos a lot and this was interesting, but you should remember to credit TCRF which I see you used as a source (and anywhere else)

[@KopperNeoman]

I know this is a Wiigional Differences video, but you missed a detail regarding MKDS in the intro. Namely that both R.O.B. and HVC-012 exist in BOTH Asian and Western versions of the game - the difference is in which one you are allowed to unlock. Multiplayer and ghost data will respect the existence of both R.O.B. and HVC-012.
