Grow up and stop trying to be the fun police. Some of you are such uptight know it all cupcakes it's unreal. Let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks jokes should never be about serious topics? Aka someone nobody likes or ever wants to be around? Got it. Thanks for letting everyone know.

[@popowerst4712]

No way! The tingle tuner lets a second player help Link with some special abilities, but it's all at the cost of your shared pool of rupees. Dad can be trusted to pick the right power ups and spend the rupees wisely while Little Bro earns the thrill of accomplishment as they play through the main game. ...I'm a big tingle tuner fan.

As a sound designer myself, I can totally hear the sound of shaking potato chips as walking on sand. That’s probably the most intuitive way to record that kinda sound I’ve ever heard of to be honest! And I thought playing around in used coffee grounds was intuitive!

4:16 This reminds me of something Takahashi said about Xenogears. Something about how during development he felt anxiety about how the development of the game was going and whether or not what they got was working. But as soon as they put Mitsuda's music into the game it suddenly felt right.

3:50 I believe that "Jingle" Windwaker actually used 2 different versions of the "Puzzle Jingle" and compared to the SNES and N64 versions, I think as well as using different instrument voices, it also adds a midrange string part.

This is the kind of content I live for. I love it when youtubers translate these old magazines. I know some Japanese, but I'd probably never go out of my way to find an old gaming magazine, much less a nintendo one. So thank you so much.

[@minjod]

Seagulls not sounding like seagulls is the definition of "reality is often dissapointing"

[@zefasoda]

Hearing Aonuma say that he was fresh out of ideas for any more Zelda games after Wind Waker is absolutely wild to hear especially since BOTW happened

[@dr_ubo]

Aonuma was in a more producer role. Fujibayashi has been directing the Zelda series since Phantom Hourglass and he got his start with the Oracle games.

[@godminnette2]

I love hearing stuff from the Camelot Software Planning team. The Shining Force fandom has tried to translate every scrap of interview from them in terms of anything relating to Shining Force; I don't know if you guys uncovered anything there that fans haven't already, but it would be neat to see!

[@thetoot9615]

There are dozens of us, dozens!!

[@timeismichael]

"Steve is a freaking trooper" man

[@oliviertilanus]

@ 10:30 I think what Miyamoto was talking about was the line about Olimar's wife hitting him with a fly swatter while she was trying to kill a mosquito. That line got removed from the European version and the remasters on switch, if I'm not mistaken.

[@BreadCatMarcus]

I really miss instruments in Zelda games. I hope they bring that back in future entries.

[@TehParismio]

Oh dang, these are neat. That seagull bit gave me a good chuckle. I would be interested in seeing some DKY on recent games like HI FI Rush or Baldur's Gate 3. It'd be neat to know some fun facts about those that I may not know about.

[@swishfish8858]

Recent games? There are recent games?! We're all a buncha basement-dwellers in our 30s watching channels like DYKG because they remind us of the glory of our childhoods, get outta here with your "new game" nonsense!

[@sixxjr]

Only problem with that, is most of these facts are derived from the fact that these are 15+ yo games, and we've had treasure tribes of interviews, magazine articles, and other media to go off of. We wouldn't have nearly the same amount for newer games, as NDAs exist, and there's just not enough time put into these games yet to squeeze the true secrets out of them.

[@risa1467]

@@sixxjr Beneath the surface of developer commentary would be priceless, and I wouldn't think much has changed when it comes to hiding all the tech & methodology. There is totally something more, but of course NDAs exist. Likely stuff that only exists to please investors too. Plus on top of it being that these interviews must be translated, and may not have the same meaning. Or it can be just conjecture. It's like when Miyamoto says Minecraft reminds him of N64 tech demos, but never really elaborates on what he means. I don't mean his words are in malice, but it strikes me there is some ego in what they say. Aside from laying all the Holy Grails of Early & late N64+N64DD(Earthbound 64), Mario Sunshine's original structure, and in Wind Waker's case; the scrapped dungeons. Dire times & serious competition that actually tells an narrative of dropping the ball, with the Wii U kicking them hard. It is a matter if all of that still exists, but would need to be digged with caution; least they get wiped by freak-mishandling. Dinosaur Planet surfacing was a welcomed surprised, but that was only it for Rare Ware's swan song to Nintendo.

[@Legoluigi26]

​@@swishfish8858CLEARLY you have not heard of Hi-Fi Rush.

[@Detective_L]

The KZbin channel Matt Mcmuscles does a series called What Happened where he takes a look at all games and explains behind the scenes trivia and even does developer interviews if possible

[@xJC4Rx]

I'm just curious, how do you guys decide what goes where? Like, you're scouring through magazines, websites for months to a year. Do you organise trivia by game, then try to theme it together for a video? Or do you go in with a goal for a video, and try and fill it with enough facts, and set aside maybe other interesting trivia that didn't fit your initial goal?

[@DJIVision]

We scour a bunch of magazines and stuff like that, then try'n organize it into videos. Usually the info comes first, then what the video'll be flows from that. Sometimes we end up with half a story, then go looking for the other half to make a video. We often end up with a bunch of info we don't have a spot for though, stuff we pick up along the way.

[@clatte4733]

​@@DJIVision Thank you for the quality content and, of course, to anyone who contributed to it 👍. Take care Dr. Lava

@@clatte4733 Thanks Clatte, you too :)

I did not go into this expecting a reference to Chuggaaconroy's Steve the Trooper but I am all here for it!

[@JazGalaxy]

“Not sure how a seagull doesn’t sound like a seagull” this is actually extremely common. Folk artists often use things that sound like what you think something sounds like rather than the object itself for many reasons. Oftentimes the frequencies just don’t hit the mic right. Try to record a “clap” for instance. You will likely just get thuds.

I think it woukd be cool to nickname a handful of pikmin and just have them be the 1st to be chosen, but also would be nice to give them costumes like Bloom, maybe the costumes could be like 2nd life's in some situations where costumes get eaten or destroyed instead

[@SonictheHammons]

Ocarina of Time sounds carrying over to Wind Waker is perfect when you realize that WW is basically a flooded OoT

[@terran347]

I’m glad they didn’t make the tingle tuner essential for Wind Waker. I know several kids who owned GBAs but didn’t own dads, so they’d have been left out of the experience.

[@princessrescuermk3]

Growing up, Mario Golf was my favorite. I appreciated how skill-based the game was, and how luck factors such as wind and rain were only a small part of it. I've always felt underwhelmed by how comparatively simple and luck-based Kart and Party were. The thing that developer mentions as a negative was what actually attracted me to the game in the first place- the fact that it's less "accessible" and more of a thinking man's game. Pretty much the same way JRPG fans felt when they discovered their first favorite of that genre. I want to correct you on something- taunts were in Mario Golf 64, and they were BETTER in that game. They were briefer and more memorable (Charlie's "Hey, while we're young", which sounded like "hey, wow we young" was practically a meme in my household growing up whenever we needed to hurry up on something) but you could also do them before AND after the shot, whereas in TT, they're longer, less snappy, and you can only do them before the shot, and they're even cut off when your opponent starts the swing. 64 also lets you pick the same character and even use the C-Buttons to pick your color, instantly ending any fights and arguments over who gets to pick which character in multiplayer. Why don't more Nintendo multiplayer games- especially ones made AFTER- let you do this? I also liked how in 64, each character you'd unlock in a Match Game would outdo you in Drive Distance (unless you unlocked Maple or Donkey Kong early, which most people didn't do when they were new to the game) meaning you would have to outwit your opponents and even strategize which holes would be worth using Power Shots on that you would have a chance of tying/beating them on. In TT, you unlock Star versions of characters (and can't even have 1 player pick the regular version and the other player the star of that same character) by Matching the REGULAR version of that character. LAME! This means that you have Star Mario (280Y) match Regular Bowser (217Y) by the end of the game, meaning you can just pick a course with long holes and back tees and easily win. And when you unlock a character that isn't unlocked in a Character Match, you get both the regular AND Star version, so who would ever use the Regular? TT is still a good game, and a favorite of mine, but there are aspects of it that vaguely disappointed me. Also, the first time I played the game, I was expecting characters like Plum and Charlie to return and was looking for them the first time I was picking a character on the Main Menu. I might be in the minority on this one, but I liked those types of characters as well as the ones in the handheld installments and have wondered why they haven't been series mainstays ever since.

Did you know? In Mario Kart Double Dash, Wario’s cake was so large that the developers thought about giving it jiggle physics. Miyamoto said that “it would’ve been like if you wobble jello on a plate”. This would’ve attracted a different, older and more mature audience however, so they changed it to keep the age rating available for all ages.

That seagull sound is most likely a baby elephant with minor to no modifications, as they make a similar cry to get their mother's attention. As for the sounds that were carried over from Ocarina to Wind Waker, it's also possible that he meant there was only one direct lifting / resampling over and the rest were recreated to sound similar; as some of those sounds played did sound noticeably different even with the crunch of the N64 in mind. It's also worth considering that the pink Tingle is in fact said "red and white" one, given those are the two colours that make up pink. Not to say that he misspoke "ピンク" or "桃色" as "赤と白" but rather that somewhere down the line the colour scheme was substituted by blending the two.

[@stefanperko]

While the two examples at 3:49 are similar, they are definitely not from the same sound file. The melody in the second goes much higher.
