Funny story. There was once a tiny company who had an amazing programmer who was the first to figure out how to make side scrolling work well on a PC. They made the first few levels of Super Mario Bros and pitched the idea to actually make a good port to the PC but Nintendo shot the whole thing down. The small company was named "ID Software", you might have heard of them since one of their games outsold Windows 95 (yeah, it was "Doom"). Watching the Japanese exclusive Super Mario port that lacked side scrolling just made me think of this little story, in another universe there is a actual working version of the game on PC.

[@Darawnal]

"With the game done, Jay put together a letter explaining who they were and how they wanted Nintendo to take the unprecedented step of licensing Super Mario for the PC. Hopes high, the boys taped up the box and sent it on its way to Nintendo. When the response came back a few weeks later, it was short and sweet. Nice work, the company said, but Nintendo had no interest in pursuing the PC market. It was happy where it was as the world leader in consoles. It was a disappointment for the group, especially following the elation of the lake house programming marathon. But it was not the end by any means. There had to be someone out there who would appreciate their accomplishment. Romero knew just the guy." - David Kushner, Masters of Doom

[@doododaadoo8673]

nintendo really didnt have a good track record of contracting the right companies back then huh

[@loke6664]

@@doododaadoo8673 I think it was more Nintendo's insane fear of pirated games, that is the reason they used cartridges for so long and had those weird mini DVDs for the Gamecube. Nintendo have screwed themselves over that more then once and it is the reason so few Nintendo games ever been released on other platforms. Well, today is their exclusive games the one thing that makes the Switch successful too but back in this era, Nintendo's only competitor was really SEGA so releasing the game wouldn't have been a problem, they would just have earned a ton of cash. Particularly since PC games at the time was a joke, it would have been the first side scroller PC game ever and if that wouldn't have sold insanely well I don't know what would have. ID basically were the one company that created PC gaming as we know it today, John Carmack's programming skills not only created the PC side scroller but also the 3D game and the first person shooter. At the time everyone knew it was impossible to port Super Mario Bros so I have no clue what Nintendo America was thinking when they turned this down.

[@raskolnikov6443]

@@loke6664 I don’t see how not releasing their games on PC was a such bad decision. Of course you can argue that but rejecting an ID software PC port really doesn’t seem like a big deal.

[@loke6664]

@@raskolnikov6443 It has to do with timing, at the time PCs didn't have many games and releasing the worlds first PC side scroller that was also super popular on consoles at the time would have earned them a whole lot of cash. Once Doom came out, every PC in an office had it installed, if Super Mario Bros had a fifth of those sales it would have been a huge cash cow for Nintendo. And working together with ID would have been a smart move at the time, they already proved they could make something no one else at the time could do. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.

A note on Halo Combat Evolved for the Mac: That was prior commitments. Halo was originally going to be exclusively for the Mac, but in 2000 Bungie was acquired by Microsoft and the game was shifted to Windows, then later the Xbox. However, Microsoft respected Bungie's original promise to release Halo on the Mac, so a Mac release there was.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

There's been times where we know he didn't do any research. For example, in a recent video, when he claimed that the Streets of Rage titles are the exact same ports on both the Master System and Game Gear. It's a completely reasonable assumption, since they're both the same hardware, except the Master System outputs to a higher resolution CRT screen and the Game Gear has a much larger color palette. But this is Sega, so instead they wanted exclusive ports for each system. Streets of Rage 1 looks like it's two different console generations, and Streets of Rage 2 has completely different stages and songs once you get past the opening level. So yeah, he really is winging it sometimes, and speaking from the heart. (And occasionally, just talking out of his ass.)

So interesting thing with super Mario special: at the time it was developed it was considered impossible to do smooth scrolling on pc. A few years later, nintendo was contacted by a small texas based developer called Ideas From the Deep, with a small demo of a pc version of Mario 3, which notably had smooth scrolling and a request to develop the game. Nintendo turned them down. Ideas from the deep where ID software. Their revolutionary pc platformer, commander keen, only happened because nintendo didn't let them make Mario, and debatable that is what lead to the development of DOOM.

One of the nice but often underappreciated perks of PC ports is preservation and long-term availability. Old games get hard to find and play once the system's been out of production for a while, and a lot of times devs either can't or don't want to keep re-releasing them on new systems. Want to play Arkham City? $20 on Steam. Want to play Infamous? Have fun trying your luck on Ebay and/or blowing the dust out of an old PS3. Hell the original release of Deus Ex 1 still works and is available for $7.

[@connorbeith3232]

There used to be a solution for constant rereleases, backwards compatibility. Instead of buying it again or getting some revamped version, you could just play the original on new platforms. But then most systems stopped doing that, thus starting the rise of rereleases and remakes as it's the only way to play most of them on new systems. Sure Xbox does backwards compatibility, but not for everything. You have to gradually wait for each individual game to be approved for compatibility, when in the old days every game was compatible right from the get go.

I loved zombiu’s game pad use actually! I liked the idea that you can’t pause the game and if you want to look at a map and inventory you have to physically look away. I know a lot of games have the “don’t pause” mechanic, but I liked having to look at the game pad to do inventory and interact with the world. Added more urgency to the game when you had to Actually look away from the tv screen to do things

It isn't specific at all, there was a lot of talk in 2016 with Xbox One and now this days with PC ports of PlayStation games. The weird thing is that he pretty much skimmed over them and focused on the Nintendo side of things (as usual).

Scott the Woz used to be exclusive to KZbin, but he signed a deal with G4 in 2020 to release certain episodes to air on network television. This is really cool, now he's reaching a market that he never would have before! However there are a few minor edits to make it fit in better with television, so the videos are a bit different, in fact worse. But whatever helps him reach a wider audience!

You mentioned Banjo Kazooie, but something few people noticed (until it was said anywhere you looked about the game, so I'm surprised you didn't mention) is that, since Tooie has a slowdown at the start on the N64, the opening scenes are made with the slowdown in mind... meaning that when they were ported to the XBox it got a desync BECAUSE it was more powerful.

4:24 Halo was actually going to be an Apple-published game designed for Macs, but still going to be released on Windows. But due to the state of Bungie at the time, Microsoft bought Bungie making Halo an Xbox-exclusive until 2003 where they published both Windows and Mac versions under Microsoft Studios. So another point for Scott.

[@musicdude1540]

Literally akshually

[@TakadoGaming]

I was gonna say, Halo was literally shown off first at Macworld 1999, if I’m not mistaken. It only became an Xbox game when Microsoft bought Bungie a year later

[@ChaseMC215]

Oni would have been their final game if Microsoft didn't step in to save the day. How did Bungie get into this situation? Myth 2. More specifically the uninstall bug where it causes the uninstaller to nuke your hard drive if you had the game in a directory that isn't the default directory. Bungie had to recall the game and send out new copies with the bug patched out, which was apparently too much for them.

Exclusives are a good thing. They keep the companies in competition and that breeds/forces more innovative or consumer friendly practices. They have to do those things because they need to give you a reason to buy their console over the other. Nintendo IPs like Zelda PS iPs like god of war make you buy those consoles so they have an interest in making those games as good as possible.

[@ImmaculateConcussion]

Does the same apply for day DVDs/Blu-ray’s? Would movies exclusive to certain Blu-ray players lead to better competition for movies developed?

[@AugustBurnsRed181]

@@ImmaculateConcussion completely different medium horrible equivalency. Also your comparing a format like dvd or blu ray to IPs. All games can and do use blu ray discs but what’s on the discs as in the IP is what matters that’s what’s exclusive not the format itself. And it does exist Disney is the only company that can make Star Wars or marvel shit for example. WB DC stuff etc so their steaming services have exclusive content to entice you to subscribe to theirs the same way you pick a console to buy for the exclusive games. If you want god of war you buy a PS you want star wars get Disney plus so to answer your question yes it does exist in a different way because it’s a different medium but it is there.
