[@benitosierrajr3958]

I'm glad they mentioned E. Gadd's localized Spanish names, one for Latin America, and one for Spain, this is important, since Mario games are (and are still) localized with two different Spanish audiences for two different regions.

[@ArcRay20]

1:22 i had a joke before about this strange inclusion, but now im sure it must actually be a meta joke of Shrek leaving the game and falling inside of the Gamecube, into reality. he cant really escape, suddenly you cant pause and any cheats that were on no longer work? sounds like reality to me!

[@DavrenHelsmere]

Just a random thought: I'm guessing the Gamecube room in Shrek is just a fun "anti-cheat" so to speak, implying you've cheated so much, you've gone outside of the game into the real world where cheats and game logic no longer work, and since you're stuck in a gamecube, you can no longer escape. Not as a "this is why you shouldn't cheat" and more "remember to take the right left at Albuquerque." I'm probably just thinking too much into it, but that's what I'd like to imagine.

[@mootwo_]

That's a good theory, but I personally think the developers suck Shrek + the camera out of the game and they're actually inside of the cheater's GC. Only issue is I don't have a GameCube so I can't test this

[@greenamogus]

They made an Anti-piracy meme in real life

[@lonergothonline]

more like it was in the software development kit as an example of how to make a room up, with something like 0 for its id, which if the developer don't overwrite or if they start at 1 because lists typically start at 1 not 0, except when you are programming something, which they didn't know beforehand, then whenever the player does something that necessitates a load but the load is undefined as it was unexpected so it defaults to 0 instead of NaN (not a number).

[@The_Ostrich]

That Shrek GameCube "easter egg" is the weirdest thing I've ever seen 🤣🤣. Why the hell do you land in the insides of a GameCube when you fall out of the bounds of a level? And who even had so much time on their hands to model such a detailed GameCube when its the result of a glitch lmao.

[@andricode]

Shrek falls from your tv to your gamecube i guess

[@noahdavis7406]

My guess is that the Gamecube model was originally for a showcase of some sort and was for whatever reason within this game's data. If it was the original base that they started with when making the game, it's possible the game didn't know what to do and sent the player to the first location it could find in its memory.

[@Roboshi2007]

I think it's that shrek fell out of the disc and into the internals as the game would be in your disc tray at the time.

[@sehtuk3953]

I guess maybe someone had extra time to model it or something? Though I think the reason why you go there is cause it's a failsafe made by the devs. If the game doesn't know what to do, it'll load the area in and trap you there to force a reset. Something similar happens in Sonic 3D Blast where it loads a level select screen when it doesn't know what to load anymore.

[@JazGalaxy]

I’m not a pro or anything, but it’s probably not all that difficult to model a GameCube. It’s not like it’s rigged anything. It’s just a bunch of geometric shapes.

[@feathero3]

9:26 That laugh seems more likely to have been used for a Poe from The Legend of Zelda, even if it is identical to a Boo from Mario. Probably cut because there was nothing Poe related in Termina Bay. At least that I can remember. Either way you shouldn't suspect it to come from Tingle just because the file name shares a few letters with his name. I personally have no clue as to what "TKLE" could mean or be though, but I wouldn't think it means Tingle at all.

[@corey2232]

*Unpopular Opinion:* GC's first party offerings left a lot to be desired. It was very well-rounded, but lacked the GENERATIONAL type games that were the DEFINITIVE games of an entire generation that Nintendo usually has. They had some games that are highlights of their series like Metroid Prime, Paper Mario: TTYD & F-Zero GX, but those didn't universally define the generation. N64 had less first & third party games, but games like Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, etc. were definitely generational games, along with Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, etc. And when it came to new IP's, the GC got some good 1st/2nd party ones like Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Battalion Wars and a personal favorite - Eternal Darkness, but the N64 created Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Mario Party, Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo, etc. I'd still go back to GC far more often than N64, and the games have aged better due to not being first gen 3D titles. But when it comes to what their libraries did for the time, the GC played it too safe & didn't offer many unique experiences for the time.

[@ThePablosin1]

How is Metroid Prime not a generation defininf game

[@KingNefiiria]

People have some weird concepts of what makes something generational. You seem to expect both originality and popularity, while quoting 3 Mario games(an already well established name in Nintendo, so not original), a mashup of every major IP in Nintendo, and a game literally based on a movie(which, though an outlier in this case, are categorically some of the worst games ever). Idk man it just feels elitist and condescending.
