[@afarewelltokings]

massive props to y'all's improvement on audio balancing in the editing process since having started doing sleeping compilations

[@omegawii]

What do you mean?

[@florboandherflora]

Hi dave

[@afarewelltokings]

@@florboandherflora hey youtube user exquisiteburger

[@afarewelltokings]

@@omegawii understandably, as the clips come from different videos, the clips will play back at different volumes when edited into one video together. my compliments are towards the improvements they as editors have made at making sure the audio from each clip is around the same range and nothing is very loud or very quiet relative to the whole video

[@omegawii]

@@afarewelltokings oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

[@Uhhhhh1188]

My autoplay is gonna wake me up after this.

[@theburntcrumpet8371]

You should turn it off

[@kelb0y9o20]

Or have a play next video set up in a queue

[@L0rdOfThePies]

You can turn it off in the settings bro, but be warned it does randomly turn itself back on after updates and stuffs

[@niccoloquattrocchi843]

Ads wake me up every time

[@entr0pic_]

​@@niccoloquattrocchi843I hate that they are somewhat louder than the videos... i have no problems with ads by themselves, as long they dont explode my eardrums.

[@DumbArse]

I absolutely love these "to sleep to" vids. I usually spend half an hour searching for something to fall asleep to :D

[@shaggysstonedagain1218]

Donovan dread is my shit to fall asleep to lol, I'm a sick person haha

[@chrisrichfield8906]

good for driving too

[@arthursnape394]

Same!

[@ImJBlu]

The daily struggle of wanting to come back to these videos but not remembering where you left off before falling asleep

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

10:47 Vinny! These compilations are great to watch whilst eating too. I love to kill time doing anything else with these in the background as well.

[@Lanausse]

I was was about to fall asleep when I heard him which jumpscared me and immediately woke me up as I was not expecting him to show up out of nowhere

[@XJ43088]

Tbh, I didn't even know that was him at first, despite watching a lot of his content and stuff around him! I had to go back to the beginning of that segment and only then did I realize it was him! I knew his voice sounded familiar, lmao

[@dizzzy_des]

Knew it was him when I heard him say "merio"

Shoutout to the brave souls who hand over 15 years of browser cache to strangers in the internet, you are stronger than I am

[@theonlybilge]

I believe the flash cache is actually its own folder under %appdata%.

[@DownHillgamer]

I wana know who doesn't regularly clear their cache lol

[@ghazalnoaika2468]

​@@DownHillgamer You'd be astounded 😅

[@eggs8021]

​@@DownHillgamer 90%+ of people don't, I don't know a single person who does

[@Itsthatbun]

Me: Is that Austin John? Narrator: Wuttering Me: Yeah, I think so.

[@fatamorgana7657]

The work you all do in game preservation and unearthing forgotten and often hidden information is always so impressive. This is a great compilation of unearthed information that Nintendo often tries to suppress and hide. Great work as always.

[@DarkbloomVis]

2 more hours of content to listen to at work, thank you legends

[@hollowhuntz]

Fr tho im up in here stocking and doing truck listening to this man all the time

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

@@hollowhuntzget a real job

[@C.r.i.m.s.o.n]

You can pay attention to what he says while also focusing on your work? what do u work at?

[@DarkbloomVis]

@@C.r.i.m.s.o.n Warehouse work, pop in a earbud and just listen while I work, rather easy

[@luvsiix_]

Yall have your priorities straight. Respect

[@Banzors]

Im so happy I rediscovered this channel, i used to love scouring the web for facts like DYKG covers for fun, but now that im old and have less time learning about games like metroid tactics is fascinating and relaxing.

[@basque_9995]

I really appreciate all the work and research the people on this channel do. They really are making sure canceled games are preserved in some way, even if it's only in a KZbin video.

[@TheSelim]

I love that you guys are doing these types of videos now. I've been doing a lot of my sleeping by KZbin videos here lately, and hours-long compilations like this make it so much easier 😃

[@Blaargad]

Honestly? Love the extended format. I could watch these for hours, and what better way than with a video that's two hours long

[@douplx]

watching this 39 minutes in, was having an absolute horrible trip and you just saved my night. i literally love you

[@TrolixGaming]

It's really nice having long compilations of these facts to have them playing on the background while doing stuff, thank you for this channel!

[@christopherhammond5142]

It's really nice to tune back in every so often and think: 'oh, wow. I didn't know that!'

[@BshortZ]

​@@christopherhammond5142😊😊😊

[@lesfrisbees]

I didn’t think this would be good to fall asleep to, but it really is. Also, I really wish we get that FFT-style Zelda game at some point. FFT is one of my all-times favorites, and the Nintendo polish on that formula would be amazing.

[@eternalcookie2]

I can't sleep with the TV on, but I definitely love listening to DYKG while I'm doing chores. I've learned so much!

[@ErroTheCube]

I usually skip these lenghty compilations, but as sleeping material? It's fantastic!

[@SoloBlackhand]

I absolutely love the idea of the commander in Metroid Tactics being named Justin Bailey. It’s genius!

[@ironnightmare666]

Finally, something to listen to in the background while I just go about my day

[@majeller]

Thank you for these videos - they really help me fall asleep! It helps that I have heard about a lot of these canceled games in other videos already. Always love the Zeltik guy’s voice in particular!

[@DiamondEpsilon]

I will always love falling asleep to some of my favorite cancelled games Ɛ>

[@TYxki]

You 😅😅😊😅😊😊😅😅

[@Blernster]

You found the forbidden backwards heart

[@kyburn6195]

While it's dissapointing that Metroid Valkyrie was canceled in favor of Luigi's Mansion 2, we did end up with a solid game and eventually the fantastic Luigi's Mansion 3.

[@VLE-Grimace]

You guys should really add time stamps to each section of these videos

[@lloydwolfeun]

This format is great to keep in the background while working or doing house chores, and the facts are always interesting. Keep up the great work!

[@tonib1999]

honestly this is so nice to fall asleep to, thank you for uploading these 🙌

[@gracekim25]

Your timing is always perfect 😊

[@tvic14]

Metroid games feel so sparse, I always felt like they’ve cancelled way more than we know. I’m so interested in the Zelda game and how it could have impacted the overall timeline given where we are now after TOtK. Love AJP on this video as well!

[@MyNeighborKaworu]

I did play Pokémon Dream World ! I remember getting a Ryhorn with it and back in the day I was really excited about it. However it's a shame that I doubt I'll be able to use the computer I played that game on anymore 😔. But I'll make a special effort to see if I can contribute with my browser's cache.

[@angelkato1401]

i also remember playing dream world for a short time. i quite enjoyed it. However, the computer i used is long gone

[@Olmec02]

Imagine how influential these games could've been if they were released

[@noahyi3866]

Hey DYKG, I love videos that give you something to sleep to, and these compilations are life savers when my head is racing late at night and my brain needs to focus on one thing. Thanks.

[@DrViperVideos]

Man we really missed out with metroid tactics, that sounded awesome

[@SpinyPuffs]

Finally, Another Nintendo facts video to autoplay!! *immediately falls asleep*

[@capt_wolf_kick]

Lately I've been needing more longform videos to play while I've been doing prep work for my TTRPG games, so I really am appreciating y'all for making these compilations

[@danherondraws]

seems like these days something like Garden would work well, at least people are already doing their best to make similar experiences on their own, either with official means or through fan projects. There's definitely interest in there

[@adrianbesos465]

Just came from a night shift at work and this list is perfect for me!

[@cutethulhoo]

Thank you DYKG team for these bangers to listen to while I work!

[@King_Carp]

I love seeing a new drop :3 I need these to sleep sometimes.

[@markpinto9982]

I enjoy falling asleep to fact videos like this, I barely get through the videos before falling asleep so it works for me lol

[@CosmicMcRad]

Getting this much information and compiling 2 hours of it is very impressive

[@beector2010]

Good night! *watches the entire 2 hour video *

[@LyonKnight24KX]

I legit fall asleep to these videos. Game facts are so relaxing!

[@PizzaTrapDaddy]

"2 Hours of Cancelled Nintendo Games to Distract Me At Work"

[@LeeJ5554]

Love the Nintendo DYK videos. Keep them coming!! ❤❤

[@matthewpelukas4505]

Not being able to see kid Kirby is so sad, hearing that there was so much completed makes it all the more tantalizing that we never got the game

[@Lil-Britches]

These tend to wake me up cause I find them interesting 😂

[@rjnavarro1574]

I love puttin these vids on while cleaning and stuff. When i suddenly snap back into reality, im confronted with fun Video Game Trivia :3

[@Stuzaay]

I love fallling asleep to these

[@J_Nephilim]

You hate to see how Nintendo waste away the visions of some of what these games could’ve been

[@sqwr37]

These have been great background videos, while I’ve been painting in my hotel room.

[@nabilsalha1941]

Happy to hear austin❤️

[@davidley4832]

I don't put youtube videos to sleep, but dykg clips are great to dissociate to. p.s. RIP pokemon garden, i hope it can be brought back one day

[@afresshighwindvt]

I hate that you can tell that most of these projects had so much love and care that were put into the idea to really make them a reality, and they were shot down and replaced by what could essentially be gamer slop. So saddening. I would've definitely played Star Fox Armada.

[@ty_sylicus]

Always cool to see behind the curtain. Pokemon Garden sounded pretty cool.

[@ekonic9189]

I got so sad over the canceled games I cried myself to sleep, thanks so much DYKG!

[@kanefisher2810]

I fall asleep watching KZbin almost every night - these vids are perfect 😄

[@ABrownNoseBear]

Some of my favourite videos to listen to while I work

[@MATT_bauer]

Strangely enough, hearing people talk really helps me sleep. Subscribed 😊

[@shadi890]

I watched this to sleep, but ened up staying up all night anyway lol

[@sethmcgann6849]

So glad you guys have curated falling asleep videos

[@ShiningTehk]

These videos are weirdly relaxing to listen to in the background

[@darkchicken6059]

Finally, something to play as background content at work

[@aerisvulkan2538]

I used to watch this channel a TON years ago; glad to see that it's still around.

[@alexelectricx]

Can't fall asleep video is way too interesting!!

[@Themacattack1209]

Even if I don’t fall asleep to these videos, they’ll end up be what’s playing when I wake up.

[@zhelterarguelles2332]

Ive been using these long format videos to make me sleep. Thank you

[@tailsman2000]

Thanks DYKG! After a long day of work i truly managed to sleep after hearing about some interesting facts.

[@Rezzcom]

It's so weird to think about how many hours of work were put into all these canceled works

[@markrodriguez2661]

Video game facts while I work? Yes please

[@Breddbeard]

Thought I knew a lot about nintendo but glad to see there's still a lot more being uncovered!

[@WigglestheMoose]

Finally. Now I can go into a deep sleep with my favorite franchises. Thanks~

[@lukascantrell9777]

I love that they asked Vinny to talk about Metroid

[@IsaacCGuevara]

It's crazy how much info there is on these cancelled games! How could they get so far in the idea and scrap it 😢

[@Adderallie]

It rly makes me sad how so many games are just never going to resurface I’m glad we have so many great games today but man how many died out before they could’ve been great

[@PIECREST]

I know people mainly talk about these as sleep aids. But as someone who likes noise in the background when gaming or working, these work great for that too. Cheers!

[@FlackNCoke]

I can’t sleep to this, the idea I can’t play these games haunts me too much.

[@TheFreio]

Learned something new immediately, thank you for covering this! Always cool to see cancelled or restricted parts of the pokemon franchise.

[@lemurpaw3230]

i try to use these to sleep but then i end up so invested i can’t

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

You're telling me not just Nintendo, but Miyamota himself assembled what would later come to be Rockstar games? I swear Nintendo has done more for the gaming community than any other company. That's truly legendary.

[@islam4697]

Glad these games can be preserved some way

[@gabrielsofta944]

I find it both fascinating and hilarious that now-Rockstar Games was going to make a Kirby game. The gameplay is its own thing, but that combination of studio and franchise was enough to rope me in when I first learned about it.

[@Leon-hl9re]

Please never stop with the hour-long uploads

[@bryce4640]

this was probably my favorite collection so far

[@oatmealbrain]

Idk man, I can never fall asleep to these videos, they are too interesting lmao

[@QueenQeeko]

Videos like this are the reason I need KZbin Premium, so I can actually fall asleep to it, or enjoy listening to while working/doing chores and not have to keep stopping to skip the ads. Thanks for the video, I'm always curious about games that could have been!

[@theguywhofoundwaldoo7939]

Legit fell asleep to this video. Just woke up. Love videos like this. Awesome content and dope channel!

[@lukieq12]

The DP starters were gonna be fighting, dark & psychic?? Guess they still liked the idea since we ended up getting that for XYs secondary types

[@perfectsuperchaos7]

just listening along then I hear him Vinny, the sauceman I forgot he did some DYKG Vids

[@jordanhand8505]

Dreaming of these games coming back to life!

[@frankdoherty8168]

Pokemon Garden sounds like such an odd concept, sounds like it was ahead of its time with all the online connectivity and live service stuff

[@OdaTheSamurai]

DidYouKnowGaming: "I know all the Pokémon facts." Me: "Show me."

[@hoppypot]

thanks for putting this whole video together it’s a sleepy banger

[@Naguits]

Just what i needed to make me company at work, thank you!

[@AverageWattsonToesEnjoyer]

Didn't know i needed this dykg sleepcontent

[@wewerwewewe]

It always makes me wonder what cancelled games or ideas we don’t know about still. Crazy concepts I bet

[@JasonFancher]

Not sure how anyone could fall asleep to all these tidbits! Some information I knew, and so much information I didn't! Thank you.

[@motherrearthbound26]

Surprised y’all know that I watch DYKG while I’m falling asleep.

[@angeldelacruz1644]

I didn't know this second channel existed, now i have what to listen at nights ❤

[@cobhanmiller1000]

Playing this while i sleep so i can crush gaming trivia night this weekend

[@michaelgehrig1177]

It’s crazy to me how many mainline series games have just been thrown out and forgotten
