Hong Kong 2019 - chin awaking

[@moh.syafrianabie8899]

Now this is the right time to do that

The Super Famicom controller has a D-pad. The D-pad was created by Gunpei Yokoi, who died in 1997.

[@UnchainedEruption]

Undoubtedly one of James' finest videos! I love this AVGN episode

*You don't fuck with chin.*

Fucking with chin is like asking for Death to take your soul.

[@lame_rookie9814]

You know who's chins relative? O chin chin.

[@JitteringCritterling]

No that's Bruce Camble's catchphrase.

[@ConnorLockhartYGO]

Especially Chin-Chin.

[@SoysauceForRob]

The song says, "I love Beijing Tiananmen, The sun rises above Tiananmen." THIS LOOPS FOREVER AND I HATE IT.

[@torqueandrikotoone]

That's to refrence to how this game takes place during the Tiananmen Massacre.

[@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948]

How can you tell?

[@kylemonsterdrywallfistbump5948]

Nevermind I looked it up they took it from "I love Beijing tiananman" which was a children's song written during cultural revolution but I'm sure you knew that. What a twisted game

[@ToastyMann]

The sun doesn't even rise above Tiananmen so they got that wrong

[@nagendramishra8947]

Lol I love that song

[@bhunt799]

I’m shocked he also didn’t reference The Lost World Jurassic Park as that also came out in 1997. Either way this is quite possibly my favorite AVGN video.

[@BrobjeV]

The ending had me laughing, godspeed you, James.

Hitmon Lee and Hitmon Chan from Pokemon, a game localised and released in North America for the Game Boy in 1997. Europe and Australia in 1998. Also with Pokemon, the Anime was released in Japan, on December the 16th many children were submitted to hospital following flashing lights in the Pokemon episode Porygon the Electronic Soldier in 1997.

[@christophernorris1491]

Super Bowl XXXI and Treehouse of Horror VIII both happened in 1997!

[@AmericanBoy-si9zg]

It's kinda scary that this game mysteriously foreshadowed events that actually happened.

The UK had a 99 year lease on Hong Kong. It was always going to be handed back in '97. The game and the movie didn't predict anything.

[@jacobishii6121]

The dead body was a real picture of a dead body .......this game is notorious for that scene

[@Guest47589]

7:35 I went to read the information, I think it was really a dead person from where he was shot.

[@pandwin3330]

Im not sure of this . But the guys who made this game found a vhs of the video and thats a bosnian civilian killed by serbs soldier during the bosnian war

[@spiritmint5929]

The worst part is that, according to most sources, the game over screen actually is a picture of a real dead man. It's actually a bit depressing.

apperantly this game was made by 2 people in 2 days for the purpose of making the worst game ever.

[@ABMTV01]

arte0021 well they arguably accomplished that lol

[@corsaircarl9582]

What’s worse is that one of the developers wrote an entire encyclopedia about the various kinds of butt plugs. Weird stuff.

[@mattwolf7698]

Mulan also came out in 1997, Jackie Chan sings "I'll Make a Man Out of You" in the Cantonese and Mandarin dubs of the movie. Jackie Chan also plays Chin but also spoke out against the Hong Kong protests meaning that Chin is secretly a Communist. Meanwhile the actress for the Mulan remake also did spoke out against the protests. Oh yeah, this game predicted Communists trying to take back Hong Kong. Scary.

He stated that his goal was to make the worst game possible as a mockery to the game industry. Since Kurosawa did not have much programming skills, he had an Enix employee help him out, with the game being made in two days.
