EVERY Zelda Game America Never Got

[@xJC4Rx]

The Satellaview is such an insanely fascinating concept. It's crazy that this is just a relic of the 90's, but it feels like really good marketing and a great way to break the 4th wall and add extra immersion.

[@sucio-]

Genuinely ahead of its time

[@zandernewson9933]

To me it shows Nintendo was always quite a adventurous company, and that things that were experiment in the West like the WII or 3-D gaming were kinda usual experiences in Japan.

[@YouReyKarr]

@@zandernewson9933 I don’t think it’s that deep. Japan is a small pretty homogeneous island, they have different problems to tackle than a lot of western countries, so they have different priorities. For instance the cost to make electronics is probably pretty decent. Proximity and relations to china means that they could put in a lot infrastructure for that sort of thing, we’re not getting electric toilets here in the UK anytime soon for instance. When you’re not focused on the same things as a culture you will have investments into other areas and there are probably a bunch of amenities that make your life here in the west a worthwhile sacrifice for satellite gaming

Tingle’s balloon trip of love is a really weird point and click adventure that adds a dating sim mechanic halfway through. Really charming! Does get kinda boring in some parts like most adventure games though.

[@HoleSam]

@@zacharynovak2180 I agree, while I found Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland consistently boring, but I played a bunch of Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love and had a decent time. However perhaps adventure games aren't my thing because I eventually got bored playing it as well so I ended up watching Vinesauce's playthrough in the background while I did other things. That was fun, especially cause Vinny voices the characters so you don't have to have your eyes glued to the screen.

You know the sad thing about the Statellaview games is that theoretically, they could be remade as far back as the Nintendo DS and Wii. I doubt Nintendo would ever bother with direct ports when they could use the internet to re-create the broadcast aspect.

This concept wouldn't work nowadays. Just look at how On Demand video streaming has deminished live broadcast TV.

[@mattwo7]

​@@jesusramirezromo2037 Not to mention that Nintendo are notorious for being copyhoarders. Just because they gave someone else distribution rights doesn't mean it's exclusive rights. The main rightsholder is the only one who gets exclusive rights in copyright law, at least American copyright law. That said, I have no reason to believe that this is different in Japanese copyright law as it's a universal fact that copyright law primarily came to exist for the benefit corporations more than anyone else. After all, the predecessor to copyright law was draconian regulations on the printing press.

[@mattwo7]

​@@RealRomplayer Broadcast TV was replaced by live streaming. Let's not pretend that in this day in age they're not functionally the same thing.

And theyre awesome. I count it as canon to that era of Zelda before Nintendo started making it all generic medieval bullshit.

[@goopi_eh]

Navi/Tetra's Trackers is amazing, even without knowing Japanese! Feels really similar to the original 4 Swords (the GBA one), and it provides adorable pixel art of Wind Waker characters! Heck, even the 3D model for Sue-Belle is slightly different from the one in original game. Had to look for the ROM everywhere, but managed to find it eventually, and am I glad I did! Ancient Tablets is pretty fun as well, it really is a Second Quest of ALttP,if only in a slightly smaller scope.

Can anyone explain how people were able to obtain the Sattelaview games if they were only just broadcasted? I never understood this part.

[@Dong_Harvey]

The SatellaView cartridge had a separate mini cartridge that acted like a microSD would on modern Flash Carts. The broadcasted ROM, of which there where many broadcasts over single game like Zelda, would be saved on thee mini cartridges. These cartridges were expensive, other than the few that came with the SatellaView, so most where just overwritten with the next broadcast. Except for a few rich fans who actually kept their downloaded copies.. To be archived by yet more dedicated fans later..

[@menji6332]

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

21:47 Actually, it's likely most of the negative reception of Tingle came from his very prominent role in Wind Waker as a malicious scammer, where the Triforce Quest in said game got a lot worse with having to pay Tingle enormous amounts of rupees that just serve as padding to the game

I'm always astonished how most of the americans live in a bubble and doesn't know that there are games which are called classics in Europe and Japan, but either only a handful knows them in the US or those getting unjustified called bad. For example *Terranigma* is such a beautiful game and has lots of fans in Europe! Despite its flaws in its leveling system it has one the most beautiful soundtracks, gorgeous graphics, such a rich world full of stuff to discover, a fun fighting system and a stunning story rivaling Chrono Trigger and FF6. But I've heard several people in the US calling "Illusion of Gaia" better since they grew up with it and that's kinda unfair just to see things through rose-colored glasses.

Well, "Illusion of Gaia" is the same as 'Illusion of Time', the Quintet game released in different regions.

One has to understand: gamers are the worst. The absolute worst. In the 90s and early 2000s, gamers spent most of their time trying to make sure videogames made them look, in their mind, “tough” and “cool”. Games like earthbound, Kirby and Tingle did not pass the muster as being “tough enough” to feed their need to affirmation of their manliness.
