6:29 ～ 裕木奈江 (Nae Yuki) is Japanese actress and singer, 櫛田理子 (Riko Kushida) was editor in chief of Nintendo Online Magazine that was exclusively published on Japanese Nitendo website, 渡辺雅史 (Masashi Watanabe) is a writer, and 太田光 (Hikari Ota) is one of the most famous comedians in Japan. (Their current work is almost same in the past)

[@Borti_Ovi]

3:58 Oh great… Add this to the list for the Super Mario 64 personalized iceberg post-giga leak rumors n’ such! But seriously, I did not like to see Mario collapse and die in that game when I was a kid. Imagine if I somehow saw this on my SNES! 😖

[@SuperSmashDolls]

>tfw your copy of Super Mario 64 is so personalized, it's actually a Satellaview e-magazine

[@AltimaNEO]

That's wild. I would have never guessed they're were still satellaview broadcasts well into the N64 era. They're so quick to kill off stuff stateside, but Japan keeps on trucking

[@cabbusses]

It's even stranger when you realize the N64 was originally planned to be out by Sept. 1995, which would only had been about 5 months into the Satellaview's lifespan. There may had been even more N64 stuff on the broadcasts if the system was not delayed.

[@SuperSmashDolls]

It's the 90s equivalent of Just Dance coming out on the Wii *after* the Wii U was discontinued. The SNES had a very long lifespan, specifically because a lot of game studios didn't want to jump straight into 3D (especially given that the N64 was deliberately designed to be hard to program for). Nintendo even wound up shipping a Fire Emblem game on Satellaview (Thracia 776). Even after Nintendo stopped supporting Satellaview in favor of the N64DD and RANDNet, St.GIGA kept broadcasting data anyway - though Wikipedia at least claims that it had been turned into a program guide for other St.GIGA channels and no longer had any Nintendo content on it.

[@Larry]

Get google translate for your phone dude, you hold the camera up to the screen and it translates the text via augmented reality.

[@metaColin]

If he turns the dumps into roms there’s even a way to plug google translate directly into Retroarch and submit screenshots for translation on demand!

[@Vekstar]

Hello you

[@citrusella-nomorecraptions]

I find the augmentation really falters for kanji-type characters if the quality is low resolution (as these technically are). I don't know if the fact I was translating Traditional Chinese had anything to do with it, but when I was translating something where I *knew* the rough likely translation it was going to spit out (it was a dub of something I'd seen in English and I was checking to see if the foreign dialogue on the Taiwanese dub had been changed significantly or not), for several sentences it flickered through anywhere from 4 to 16 other (very bad, clearly not right) translations before it showed the likely one. Not that there's NO utility to it (eventually I got to the most likely translation), just that Google Translate (and especially AR Google Translate) is not infallible, and it likes being fallible with CJK languages and low resolution images a lot.

[@ian_5184]

@@citrusella-nomorecraptions There's a function in the camera that says "scan" that takes a photo. As long as the photo is not blurry, it should give you the correct translation much more frequently on the first try

[@Blankult]

Google translate and such things often don't translate low res kanji very well, since the low resolution has very minute details that the translator isn't optimized for. Still could be used to have an idea of what it's about though, but i guess he wants a proper translation to experience first.

[@diskkun4120]

That picture of Luigi isn't supposed to be him in the place of Mario, it's Luigi as the game's cameraman! See the director's chair and clapper board.

[@cannonfodder4000]

4:29 top left mario is based on the laughing salesman anime

[@nickmiller3193]

So the top left image at 4:24 is a reference to The Laughing Salesman, which makes me believe this is fan generated content submitted to St. Giga. Crazy to think something officially Nintendo would have fan content like that. Like if Bowsette made her way to Nintendo Minute.

[@DeenHoward]

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that lol

[@cabbusses]

In the original broacasts, those artwork pieces were accompanied by an audio story by Yuuki Nae (For example, the one with Luigi in Bob-Omb Battlefield has him acting as a director, presumably giving Lakitu commands). Only a few have been translated/are able to be understood at a glance. I'd love to know what the heck inspired Warau Salesman Mario.

[@Burger_pants]

@@DeenHoward *wipes brow* thank god i'm not the only one who was nerdy enough to notice that.

[@TheWorldDBZ]

That "Face-melting artwork of Mario" is a parody of an actor named Tanaka Kunie known for a TV drama series "北の国から" (From the Northern Land,) which is why the background is a forest covered in snow. Some people might know his face through Kizaru in One Piece.

[@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer]

The Satellaview is oddly late in the Super Famicom's lifetime, it came out just 1 year before the N64 was launched.

[@cabbusses]

It makes sense when you realize it took the expansion slot the SNESCD was originally going to use... There is a belief that Nintendo of Japan was honor-bound to use that port.

[@brojoe44]

@@cabbusses I was gunna say it's odd they gave up on the N64 port, but I remember it actually came out 🤣

[@cabbusses]

@@brojoe44 I mean, it makes sense you forgot: the 64DD had even less subscribers/owners than the Satellaview did, according to the stats posted on Wikipedia. If the 64DD wasn't originally being set to launch in America, it's likely no one would had heard of it.

[@lightyagami3492]

@@cabbusses Thankfully Metal Jesus came across a retail version of the US 64DD.

[@MegaManNeo]

That penguin game looks fun, I think I have to give it a try 👀 Otherwise, any dump of so far unshared old software is a good dump. I love how the BS-X actually had Nintendo64 content despite being a completely different platform.

[@cabbusses]

Konae-chan is a neat game idea. It's a shame it's so short... I wonder if it'd be possible to expand it?

[@MiYakuT]

It's called: Konae's Heart Throbbing Penguin Family

[@Pikacat98]

The Bowser-Luigi at 4:17 and the Mario with safety gear on at 4:24 are both art done for April fools for some magazines if I remember correctly! : D

[@markhundahl8371]

Luigi is not playing Mario64 he is the director of it

[@LuigiBlood]

None of the magazines have music, Tony used music from BS-X which you can find online, and the music from the game is already dumped.

[@trunkit8749]

[@nicklinusheister9354]

That's not a X-Files reference. It's one the the 1930s movie "M" by Fritz Lang. The Hand and the "M" were the on the poster for the movie. But its rather strange that this old German movie gets a reference in an japanese E-Magazine.

[@jakeplissken699]

@@nicklinusheister9354 interesting. Thanks for clearing this up man! I’ve never seen this movie and it looks cool.I thought the X-files would have made sense since it was airing and popular around this time around the world.

[@MoonSarito]

It was pretty cool to see games like Excitebike: Mario Battle Stadium not only have voice clips but use the same voices as Mario Kart 64, but it's so bizarre and awesome to see not only the Nintendo 64 itself but even footage from Super Mario 64 on a Super Nintendo/Super Famicom. It's so nice to think that Japan is basically a strange universe where both Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 coexisted for quite a long time.

[@Silphage]

I always thought it was cool how Wrinkly Kong in DKC3 was playing an N64. This is another level of bizarre seeing actual N64 screenshots inside SNES software.

[@lain328]

I missed some of this myself. Thanks for the full look into it.

[@Kevin-bg3wu]

"All of my Black Belts..." Tony's a lethal weapon

[@DeadCell33]

Neat stuff but I'm still patiently waiting for those lost BS F-Zero GP 2 tracks.

[@TheVicarstownSentinel]

4:28 the Mario in the top left is a nod to a popular cult classic "The Laughing Salesman". Good taste!

[@Sonicfalcon16]

4:30 Thats wandering salesman mario. Wandering saleman is a manga about a guy who answers wishes but usually the end after the wish is granted the person who made the wish fall into some horrible event. Its a manga series.

[@cabbusses]

Commenting with some of my own notes as I watch the video: The Ge-mu no Tsubo here corresponds with this archive recording kukun kun did; kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3a4hphrrLmIr5o You may want to pay attention to it, as this is a case where the audio corresponds with the ROM content. Kukun kun has uploaded other episodes as well. Unfortunately I can't seem to track if the Mario Kart 64 magazine is in one of those broadcasts, although I know that there's more of those where that came from, and sometimes they do weird things with the Mario Kart screenshots. Thanks for shouting out the previous Ge-mu no Tsubo and Konae-chan dumps; they were among the first dumps I was recall helping eludevisibility document. Apparently that Ge-mu no Tsubo is a digest, a sort of "Best of" piece; A lot of the artwork in it is actually lower-res versions of stuff from previous magazines. In regards to "Event version" Konae-chan; although I have not analyzed the ROM yet, my first assumption would be that the normal version removes the password submission screen. I'll look into it shortly.

[@MarioPfhorG]

The mining/builder Mario at 4:30 is so interesting to me, this is almost 20 years before Mario maker

[@GilWanderley]

It's not builder Mario, it's Mario wearing a helmet and knee pads.

[@jackgarcia5926]

Wrecking crew tho

[@SolidIncMedia]

At first glance I thought the game was similar to Frostbite on the Atari 2600, where you stand on sheets of ice that float past to make an igloo, while collecting fish and avoiding clams, crabs, and a polar bear, but looks like it's very different.

[@TheVileOne]

Love seeing stuff like this. Love this channel!

[@mehdidesoeuvre8728]

The Mario 64 thing is telling about an event where you could win a golden controller for N64. The two girls won and it says you can apply by sending a postcard

[@joypadlad]

That one with Luigi in Bob-omb Battlefield is actually him in the director's chair. Maybe trying to say that he is directing Mario 64 in some way.

[@Pacmanfan-po9rn]

Love you guys, so damn cool!

[@tails64dsntchannel8]

[@AMDRADEONRUBY]

Nice a new SNES related Video you're the best Tony

[@classiccustoms2010]

A couple of those Mario 64 preview images look like they were taken directly from the game, but the other two are definitely odd (the ones with the yellow mushrooms). The one with Mario falling looks to be some sort of slide level possibly, or maybe an early version of the underground invisible cap obtain area? The fourth one with all the presumably-dead Marios is even stranger. Are those two images renders or mock-ups made specifically for the magazine? Or were they lifted directly from the game?

[@crism8868]

That Konae chan game is basically Flicky meets frogger. Cool little concept

[@kacpersobieraj5421]

04:25 The one on The TOP LEFT corner is Luigi as The Laughing Salesman. For more Information, Google „The Laughing Salesman”. He is a Character from Manga and Anime who has Been Created by The original Creator of Doraemon.

[@blazeuchiha2169]

at 4:11 it looks like Luigi is flipping someone off lol

[@Schimnesthai]

1:56 I recognize Mr. Tezuka and Mr. Aonuma in the far left... neat! For some reason this image has a logo in the center that seems to say Dragon Quest, it is the logo though, but not sure about the text.

[@thefreshvince879]

1:20 what an ABSOLUTE BANGER

[@blacksunshine7485]

The n64 picture is an outtake from LSD Dream Simulator

[@ElectricLedRevolver]

Is the bottom middle image at 3:52 a reference to the FF game that was briefly in development prior to Square working on FF7 for the PS1?

[@PabbyPabbles]

Yeah in Japanese schools whenever the kids win contests or a match against another school or anything really, this is the format they use. They have the stock gold-trimmed thicker paper ready, and there's usually one special printer that can do these and large banners. They use a font that looks like calligraphy and the principal, vice principal, and relevant teachers sign it. Then they are handed to the kid in one of the many ceremonies 4:25 that's definitely a _Laughing Salesman_ parody

[@TBustah]

I forget, have you covered the “Derby Stallion” games that were compatible with Satellaview? One of those (one of the ones that could accept a Satellaview memory card) came with a lot of games I bought a few years ago. You’re welcome to it if you want to make a video, I have no use for the thing.

[@Smashmilk]

Not really there were alot of e-zines around this time Playstation had one the Saturn had one and PC had 100s of them . Still interesting none the less tho .

[@cabbusses]

@@Smashmilk What made the Satellaview different was that besides havving stuff like Yuuki Nae's show here or the Famitsu magazines, it had magazines about non-game content, such as AK Live Hit Gang's pop charts, Seiyuu personal blogs, Comic strips, and recipe books.

[@brojoe44]
