Every. Single. Zeebo. Game. Part 1 | Punching Weight / DELISTED | SSFF

[@StopSkeletonsFromFighting]

Hey it’s me Derek! Seriously, thanks for watching! I know I’ve been gone for a little bit and I wanted to come back BIG but the Zeebo was too big for just one video! Stay powerful! | Go to buyraycon.com/ssff for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. Edit: because of a copyright claim for Armageddon Squadron, I had to remove the music at 41:10. KZbin has a new thing to remove music but keep the voice over, so the quality of the narration drops but it’s better than the whole segment being muted. Plus I don’t have to give most or all the ad revenue to someone else over 45 non-consecutive seconds of a 48 minute video.

[@MoonSarito]

I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video. Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game . A Game of Eggs/Um jogo de Ovos: It's a game based on the Mexican movie "A Movie of Eggs", as silly as it sounds it's actually a pretty good 2D platformer and even had a really fun cool multiplayer, I dreamed of seeing this game being re-released on WiiWare, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it never happened. An honorable mention also goes to Zenonia, it's an excellent RPG and the Zeebo version was the only one that had a Portuguese translation, this game is (or was) available on the DSi Shop on the Nintendo DSi, eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Playstation Store on the PSP, PSVita and PS3 too, I recommend giving it a go, it's a great game.

Just a small correction at 30:46, it is not that the PC has the full game (although it has). What the comment meant was that the RE4 PC version SOLD by Fullgames was cheaper. Fullgames was a monthly magazine in Brazil that always had a CD/DVD game with it, sold for like R$ 18,00 (something like US$ 4 or US$ 5). The magazine edition with Resident Evil was also released in 2009.

The Jiangshi (Chinese hopping Vampire) have blue skin. As do a lot on Asian monsters. The blue enemies on the flip phone version were likely a way to make it clear that players were killing undead/supernatural monsters rather than people. Which would make the game more acceptable to play in public. It may even have something to do with censorship laws, especially if they wanted to release it in China.

[@krzbrew]

Makes sense!

[@moonlightmk2]

Brazilian here. Just for the record: During the RE4 section, the comment about "Fullgames" is talking about a PC Games Magazine that was published monthly (if I recall correctly) and had a new game packed in with each edition. It was a Cheap way for us to play legal copies for an affordable price. I remember that many friends only had access to the OG Diablo because of that magazine.

[@MrDmoney156]

[@rafamottaa]

Ridge Racer kills the Zeebo console, literally. The game leaks data into the emmc memory, until it fills it and corrupts the data, compromising even the Zeebo OS and the Brew OS behind it.

[@awii.neocities]

Like a really bad implementation of swap storage? Damn. I'm surprised they didn't just put a cap on that so it doesn't overwrite used memory. It would make the game crash yes, but at least it wouldn't brick the console.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

So not only could it have an even CLOSE port of a 1993 arcade game that was getting a near flawless port in 1995, it also kills the system. GOOD. GREAT.

[@Proutbedaine]

Wait, so even only playing it in very short sessions only would still eventually kill the Zeebo if I understand correctly? It's a cumulative thing and doesn't reset when you turn off and back on your Zeebo (or maybe completely unplug it)? If so, man that's freaking insaaaane! It litterally chips away at the consoles life in a sense for every second you spend on that game! Also, does the Zeebo have any "factory reset" feature accessible to the user? And if so, would that reset all that cumulated crap in the eMMC? (Assuming you'd do so before it bricks obviously. And yeah it'd come with it's own massive downsides doing so of course. Considering all your saves are gone and even your games you paid for and can't download anymore nowadays. [AFAIK anyway])

Oh man, that comment about fullgames, unlocked some core memories to me. here in brazil, back in the time, we had a magazine called "fullgames" that came with a CD with, not surprisingly, a fullgame, usually old and/or lesser kown games, but i bought the issue with RE4, and probrally have the CD/DVD laying around somewhere. That a bit of brazilian gaming history

[@Devouhan]

Yeah, and at the time Zeebo released, Fullgames had one issue that came with the first PC port of RE4 (the buggy, Ubisoft one), that cost something like R$15,00 IIRC (around US$5,00 at the time, and US$3,00 now). So, basically, it was a much better deal to buy the magazine and get the game for PC than buy a Zeebo and get a bad port of RE4.

[@TiagoBullets]

Acho que a fullgames quis deixar bem claro que era o jogo full pra não confundir com aquelas revistas de 2000 jogos em 1 que era um monte de jogo de MSDOS

At 5:00, most Brazilians actually call the game "soccer", because we're taught North-American English in our schools rather than British. So we also say "fries", "elevator" and "hood", instead of "chips", "lift" and "bonnet". EDIT: As an added note, we call "American football” the one with the 🏈

Audio quailty drops from 40:09 to 40:36. It drops again at 41:10 and is completely mute between 14:22. The audio quality remains reduced until roughly. 41:36. I guess the Zeebo was just too powerful for the copyright bots. This system was apparently going to get a port of Sonic Adventure. It was canceled unfortunately, so we never got to experience Big's fishing on the Zeebo, and we never got to hear the Zeebo open its heart. We also never got another version to make fun of and call the actual worse version since it would've topped the already terrible PC version of the Xbox version of the Gamecube version of Sonic Adventure (we fix it using mods).

I was 24 years old in 2009 when this thing came out in Mexico which is where I’ve lived all my life, I’ve been playing videogames since I can remember, and the first time I heard about the Zeebo was until Uncle Derek started talking about wanting to make a video about it. I cannot understate how much of a non-entity this console was over here. I don’t know a single person who knew this shit ever existed. We had a Saturday morning tv show about Nintendo that broadcasted on a national over-the-air network that lasted 5 years throughout the 90s. We had an official Nintendo magazine for Mexico that lasted 30 years. We had Nintendos at home (and Xbox and PlayStation). Zeebo was for no one. PS: amazing video as always, Derek and Co.!

[@echinas0908]

Piracy was definitely a HUGE thing at the time, but we also were a decent market for regular full price games. On the cheap side, we had NES clones, PS1 clones, those 1000 games things, I even had one that used plastic discs with (I imagine) microscopic groves. I don't know for whom this was for.

30:48 it actually says "the PC version is cheaper in Fullgames" Fullgames was a magazine that "gave away" full PC games as a "gift". It was actually a way to tumble through the tax system and sell games paying magazine taxes. They were a mainstream trend in the early 2000s, after the demo-filled CD gifts in PC magazines of the late 90s.

I was a developer at Tectoy Digital from mid-2008 until its end in 2011 and witnessed the whole Zeebo weirdness from inside, really strange (but cool) days. As bizarre as it may seem now, much of those decisions made sense at the time (even when things got really weird, what we'll hopefully see in part 2). Others, to this day, still make me wonder what they were thinking (and by "they" I mean mostly Qualcomm and whoever approved that Ridge Racer port). IIRC, from the point this video ends (late 2009) until the beginning of the end (late 2010) the quantity and quality of games increased significantly. So did the weirdness factor, as focus shifted from mostly sports / racing to educational games. There were some last-minute China-only educational games that I'm not sure they were even released (but that's some great material for the next video if they were).

One of the first things I wanted to do with it wasn't even to play VR-only games. It was to experience Final Fantasy 14 with VR. Which is an unofficial/unsupported fan mod. It was a bit of a challenge to get it working, but the payoff was worth it. Let me tell you; if you've been playing an MMO for this long, it's a whole new world when you experience it at ground level from character POV. Especially in 14 where there's some downright GORGEOUS locales. I just wish I didn't get motion sick after about 10-15 minutes of it. Regardless, when I got it working I thought to myself "Uncle Derek would be proud" :P

Tip: "Rolimã" is pronounced similar to holy mann, it is the name of a "cart" made of wood using bearings as wheels, "rolimã" in Portuguese is one of the synonyms for "bearing".

As a Brazilian and a (not so) proud Zeebo owner, THANK YOU for all your Zeebo videos!

[@gmoraesalvarez]

TecToy is BAAAACK, baby!!!! They are launching a portable here in BR. I'm hyped for the Zeenix. They are publishing games too.

[@QMMarc]

We NEED to get that Double Dragon game out of the Zeebo SOMEHOW man, it looks hype as heck!

[@marciorodrigo6863]

The Zeebo certainly caught the attention of players here in Brazil at the time. Maybe not for the right reasons, but that's just a detail.

[@jackdavis4657]

Just shut down the bar for the day and I get a new SSFF video?? Glad it was empty because I may have let loose a very enthusiastic, 'F**K YEAH!'. So glad you guys are OK and able to bless us with quality content.

[@DinobotTM2]

@StopSkeletonsFromFighting , "Rolimã" is Portuguese for "Ball bearing". In that case, it means a traditional Brazilian Gravity Racer that has ball bearings instead of wheels

[@youralaskalinkphotog]

My favorite Alaskan Uncle is BACK! ❤. I just hope you aren’t running yourself ragged. Actually, ya know what? It’s the least I can do... I’m gonna actually subscribe today!

[@youralaskalinkphotog]

Not only did I follow through on subscribing, but I am so encouraged to see that you split this into 2 parts! Make that content work for you. 😎👍. And while you’re at it...maybe tease what the Patreon exclusive will be in the form of a YT short. 😀

I had the chance to own a Zeebo and there are two games in particular that really stuck with me and that I can't wait to see in the next part of the video. Zeebo F.C Super League: As much as it is a football game, it is a very fun game (especially for those who like Mario Strikers), the story mode is funny, the gameplay is really good and there was an excellent co-op, I remember of playing for several hours with my brother and it was really cool to be able to use the Zeeboids, an interesting fact is that this is one of the 3 Zeebo games that uses the console's achievement system and that keeps the progression with your Zeeboid (you could gain experience with your Zeeboid and use it in other games, unfortunately only 3 games on the console used this system ), I remember that I got to be among the top 50 in the online ranking of my region, I had an excellent good time with this game . A Game of Eggs/Um jogo de Ovos: It's a game based on the Mexican movie "A Movie of Eggs", as silly as it sounds it's actually a pretty good 2D platformer and even had a really fun cool multiplayer, I dreamed of seeing this game being re-released on WiiWare, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately it never happened. An honorable mention also goes to Zenonia, it's an excellent RPG and the Zeebo version was the only one that had a Portuguese translation, this game is (or was) available on the DSi Shop on the Nintendo DSi, eShop on the Nintendo 3DS and on the Playstation Store on the PSP, PSVita and PS3 too, I recommend giving it a go, it's a great game.

[@ari-fsa5468]

Zenonia was a pretty good RPG, I have on my old 3DS.

[@krzbrew]

Hey, nice to see you here!

[@medes5597]

Zenonia was designed for and released on Android first, then iOS, then the other formats. It was like a big thing that an RPG of that scope was made for android.

[@MoonSarito]

@@krzbrew Yeah, whenever I see someone commenting on Zeebo I can't resist and come check it out. xD

[@Stingchameleontheclever]

Zeebo Core (The clown car Dumpster music) its a master piece and don't you forget it!

[@JayDecayAE]

I think these Skeletons stopped fighting.

[@Sakkeru96]

OOH I only just saw this in my feed but I have been WAITING for this video! I've been having a rough time with my mental health lately but now I'm looking forward to sitting down and watching this later and that's really cheered me up today. Thanks Derek for always making videos that get me through hard days

[@GordoFreakmanFail-Life]

Zeebo emulator is now avaliable, and Double Dragon runs perfect!

[@ezra5500]

Missed you so much!! Glad to see a new upload.

[@BryceDixonDev]

The thing that's so weird to me about the Zeebo is that I look at a lot of the games and think "idk, these don't look that bad?" and then you remind me that it was 2009-2010, not 1998

[@1stCallipostle]

Most releases in '98 were honestly still cleaner. Most of these would feel right on something like the Jaguar, equally not great in it's time

[@DSiLemon]

Uncle Derek, great video as always - just some more context on what brazilian kids were playing for their footb- - Soccer fix back in 2009: If you search for "Bomba Patch PS2", you will find a gallore of mods for what was the most famouos soccer game in Brazil, PES (Winning Eleven back in the day). These Bomba Patches (literally patch bomb) would update the last PS2 game to whatever year they were out, with custom player names, visuals and uniforms, so kids with only PS2 were actually always playing the latest stuff. These patches still exist to this day, so PS2' Winning Eleven Bomba Patch 2023 is a thing!

[@1stCallipostle]

Never in my life did I i think I'd be hype at the idea of playing a Zeebo game, but Double Dragon Zeebo got me cravin'

[@bobafett4265]

Man this is a fun watch, looking forward to part 2 whenever that drops, keep up the good work Derek and Grace, you are the best at what you do. 👍

[@dbloodymoon]

Fun fact! FullGames was a magazine which you could get an original PC game on the cheap... And this is how I got into Assassin's Creed!

[@gouveia00]

I still hold on to my fully localized Roller Coaster Tycoon copy from Fullgames. It was bonkers! I remember seeing Driver: Parallel Lines on it after a few years. Should have grabbed a copy.

[@Rayossan]

Hey uncle. I hope things get better. Your videos brighten my day.

[@MovieMan1710]

Doesn't matter if I gotta wait 2 months or 2 years. A SSFF video is ALWAYS worth the wait!

[@ashleybreadgirls1228]

Gotta give ATi some credit for this console gen, they were on top of the world! Wii, 360, AND Zeebo had their work inside!

[@Yuoaman]

Nothing puts a smile on my face like a new Stop Skeletons From Fighting video, the Zeebo continues to be a goldmine for the fascinating garbo space.

[@pinguinpanik931]

Raycon, when 5 dollar china earbuds just dont sound shitty enough for u we gotcha covered

[@Zarithya]

Holy crap I said the words at 26:42! Look ma I'm famous!

[@_fiiifo]

I'm brazilian and wanted to say about that "Extreme Roll Man" game... "Rolimã" is supposed to be that kart the character was ridding ... It was very common in the 80s and early 90s for a dad to actually build those simple "karts" with some tools and cheap plywood for their kids to go down a slope in the streets or in parks... it's not as common today but if you look for "carrinho de rolimã" on google you're gonna see there's still karts being made and sold

[@MercuryCDX]

Namco securing the Zeebo market before Sega could even blink. Imagine if Daytona USA could compete against the sheer excitement of Ridge Racer on the Zeebo.

[@Tsuchinokable]

Hi! Awesome video! btw, just for context, at 30:48, they didnt say "RE4 pc is THE full game", but rather AT Fullgames, a brazilian magazine that sold PC games for much cheaper since they were technically selling the magazine and the disk was a bonus. (the magazine was around 20 reais, while games were on average 100)

[@houraisheperd9721]

Saber is goddamn metal. I'd love to see her show up in a future release.

[@nick-playercharacter8583]

I've rewatched this about three times now and that jab at OceanGate catches me off-guard every time.

[@grahammantle8381]

idk about anyone else but Saber's animations from the Zeebo Double Dragon looked straight out of Melty Blood. Considering the name of the character, that may not be a mistake. Also love Punching Weight, one of my favorite series and glad to see another episode!

[@mateobonavento3939]

It's great to have you back Uncle Derek! I hope the rest of the year has only good things in store for you guys. Please tell me a brazilian modder put Saber in Mugen or something like that. It's a crime she's only available on the Zeebo. Those sprites are sick.

[@josealvelo3348]

A Punching Weight and Delisted crossover episode? Hell yeah, just what the week needed!

[@OmegaSMG]

Thank God! I saw someone comment somewhere else saying you stopped making videos and I was terrified. Also, absolutely FUCKING LOVE those nails!

[@UnsungUnderground]

Please look at the band belushi speed ball. They've released albums on n64, gba, and snes carts. All of which work in their respective consoles. While you couldn't build a whope episode of punching weight around them, it could make for an interesting inclusion in a grab bag episode

[@LoneWanderer905]

This sounds awesome. Bumping.

[@tommygolding6435]

Anamanaguchi has also released albums as nes carts!

[@simonreilly213]

You said tumultuous life events, I hadn’t heard anything from Grace all video, I got stressed. It was nice to hear from her 30 seconds later and ease my stress. Hope you guys are ok!

[@connorplays6263]

Missed opportunity: You should have called it this segment "Dead Weight"

[@franciscarpes7061]

I'm brazilian. I'm 49. I'm a hardcore gamer. And I never ever heard about "Zeebo" outside of KZbin channels. 😂

[@mariovalencia4248]

Thank you, Uncle Derek, not only for a new video but for a new Double Dragon waifu!

[@YamiVT]

Thanks for keeping the Zeebo juices flowing, Dereck

[@shards-of-glass-man]

Finally , the Zeebospective continues
