[@ardentfebrio1268]

"cause its funny" has led to the best decisions in game development

[@lilwyvern4]

"Cuz it's funny" or "it's broken but more fun" are pretty much tied. The former gave us beeg banana, the latter gave us combos in fighting games.

[@Compucles]

It also gave us Lara Croft's original chest size.

[@anonunknown7999]

It gave us Spongify in the Harry Potter PC games

[@artemissapphic]

this channel went from repeating info to literally discovering breakthroughs its insane

[@safebox36]

It still bothers me that their translations are correct (at least as far as my Japanese is concerned) but they still completely misframe it in some cases.

[@denis2381]

No they are repeating stuff. Just translating lol

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

@@safebox36I’ve also noticed that. I wish they’d just give the translation and leave their personal input/interpretation out.

[@Crescent_Audio]

@@safebox36damn that’s gotta be frustrating I bet. So They can decode Japanese but don’t know how to interpret it?

[@swishfish8858]

​@@Crescent_AudioMore that they'll translate it, understand what is said, and assume that it means or refers to something that it absolutely doesn't and make up wild theories that don't have any actual basis in reality.

[@BR-jw7pm]

It’s sweet that you gave credit to Scott Johnson! People like him deserve more credit 😊

[@SnaksiXD]

Scott ran, so that Metroid couldn't crawl... 🫡

[@goob8945]

Scott crunched so Samus could roll

[@Deseko]

"Why cant Metroid crawl?" lol

[@NonisLuck]

🏆 best joke

[@Poyostar]

Great to see Scott Johnson be given the credit he truly deserves here; the Morph Ball is such a big part of Metroid Prime, so it's shocking that he isn't specifically credited for his work on that part of the game!

[@thenightstar8312]

Scott Johnson, the true hero of Metroid Prime Not all heroes wear Varia Suits.

[@GeomancerHT]

LOL, idollizing the quitter. Miyamoto would have coded the feature from scratch in an afternoon.

[@goob8945]

A true hero !!!

[@Ninetaled]

​​@@GeomancerHT LOL Supporting wage theft and company peer pressure. Miyamoto is a controlling freak who got lucky once with super mario and then threw his weight around at other devs and forced his ideas into games for the worst. See how he treated the dev team of majoras mask and him yelling at the team that added the beautiful story book into mario galaxy. Try again boot licker

[@StationSquare.]

@@GeomancerHT So Scott’s a quitter for… choosing to spend time with his family over a job in the gaming industry? Unemployed basement dweller mentality lol. Also, while Miyamoto is a good game designer, he hasn’t actually developed games since Star Fox 64 in 1997 (he was a producer only from then one). I doubt he would’ve been able to “[code] the feature from scratch in the afternoon”, especially since he hadn’t worked on GameCube software and didn’t have experience with Metroid.

[@travisjordan3853]

@@StationSquare. Shigeru Miyamoto isn't even a programmer. The first four Super Mario games were programmed by Toshihiko Nakago along with others, while Super Mario 64 had multiple programmers including Yasunari Nishida, Yoshinori Tanimoto, Hajime Yajima, Daiki Iwamoto, Toshio Iwawaki, Takumi Kawagoe & Giles Goddard.

[@kevinboutwell]

I love how so much is just "I saw it on TV and thought it was cool."

[@RotatingPlatypus]

As much as I love all of the mario kart games, Double Dash's drift mechanics have been pure perfection since conception. I've won multiple tournaments, dodging blue shells with drifting alone. No other mario kart can compare to DD.

[@jasonkeith2832]

Double Dash is such a unique experience, and I wish they would port it.

[@averyminya]

@@jasonkeith2832 clearly you aren't thinking of the MK8D sales, Nintendo's lawyers will be in touch with you.

[@jasonkeith2832]

@@averyminya Their lawyers can show up at my door, but they can't do anything because this is a dig at their marketing department, and Nintendo's marketing doesn't baseball bat your shins like the legal retainers do.

[@Compucles]

No, the manual drifting in Double Dash! is terrible, since you have to unintuitively turn back and forth to get it to activate! Why should I need to turn right to turn left outside of possibly a licensed game of the movie "Cars"?! The automatic transmission option is a saving grace, but of course there's a stiff penalty for using it, since you can't get the best mini-turbos from it. Thankfully, they fixed this problem in the future games of the series, except apparently MK DS.

[@jasonkeith2832]

@@Compucles Manual and automatic drifting? Do you mean mini-turbos? Also, a quick jiggle of the left stick is much faster at getting max turbo compared to the duration build-up turbo that every other game uses.

[@bigbe3tsdrumming]

Funny, I was a flyer between Germany and Japan in the early 2000s! Moved to Germany in 2001 and got a GameCube while living there.

[@arandomexplosion]

I was hoping I'd see this comment

[@FreetstheGreat]

Another fun Metroid Prime fun fact: Tommy Tallarico personally worked with Shigeru Miyamoto to make the sounds. His mother is very proud.

[@Killerspieler]

What a guy! What DIDN'T he work on???

[@ericdleon]

They designed the weapons based on his sounds. His mother must be very proud.

[@p.h.1072]

The first American to ever work on Sonic did Metroid Prime too??? Wow

[@ericdleon]

@p.h.1072 His mother must benl proud.

[@Luchingador]

Heres a new tid bit of info about Prime, apparently Tomy Tallarico coded the entire game hand on hand with miyamoto. His mom is very proud.

[@They_are_Arthur]

11:33 That's such a frank way to port games. A simple "we don't want them buying the competitor." Honestly pretty cool.

[@spongebobfan78]

Thinking about it, it kinda made sense. They did have an exclusivity deal on Gamecube, so having ports of older entries there alongside new then-exclusive games might've solidified Gamecube as the new home of Resident Evil.

[@pokemonduck]

sadly that doesn't happen anymore with many franchises split on many consoles...

[@PlebNC]

​@@pokemonduckThe Kingdom Hearts fanbase: *PTSD intensifies*

[@Compucles]

@@pokemonduck Well, it's still the same reason why first and second party games are always company exclusive...except on some occasions with Microsoft these days, but even they refuse to share their biggest IPs like Halo.

[@ajb128128]

Now it’s put the first game on pc and force them to buy a system to play the rest. Complete 180 from all those years ago.

[@Supersayainpikmin]

My dad told me about Grizzley as a kid, about it being a Jaws rip off. He also told me that the production company for the movie was being sued, and the founder fled with 1 million dollars and was never heard from again. His name was Edward Montoro.

[@NitwitsWorld]

Jeez 😅

[@Tailstraw_xD]

Was that a "Y can't Metroid crawl?" Reference in 2024? Well played, DYKG.

[@HeroC14]

Miiverse was amazing.

[@Umbruh_Prime]

9:13 I think they really perfected this philosophy in RE4 when Leon backflipped off the door instead of just backing up like a normal person

[@DylanYoshi]

Shinji Mikami's statement on what Resident Evil's design philosophy is everything modern Resident Evil is missing. Every mainline RE game since 5 (arguably 4 but I think 4 is a little closer to that original style) has been all about fighting enemies rather than choosing whether you want to risk fighting them or not. RE7 disempowers the player more, but you're pretty much forced to kill every common enemy because they chase you to the ends of the earth if you don't- It still feels like an action game moreso than a survival game.

[@JeremyMFer]

Scott Johnson is the hero I didn’t know I had.

[@MrStarfawks]

Imagine how good games would have been/would be if there was no “Christmas/Seasonal Deadline”…

[@demonthekid718]

Poor Scott. He reminded me of how 20 years ago, I wanted to become a game designer. Things change now in my 30s.

[@Ian-vq3qe]

Never too late

[@charlierogers98]

Good news, designing games are easier these days with the insane amount of tutorials for gaming engines, the tricky part is to practice and be constant, and of course, having the time to dedicate yourself to that thing since it is clearly time demanding and consuming, otherwise, if you like and trust the process, then you can enjoy it!

[@demonthekid718]

It's okay. I've already found a new calling. And since I got a good degree, I can always switch to the game industry if what I'm doing now isn't the best job.

Those giant bananas are why I always pick Diddy or Donkey Kong as one of my racers in the single player modes. They're essential for slowing down the cheap rubber-banding AI at chokepoints and setting traps right before ledges on higher CC's. I usually pick one of the Koopas for my other racer so I get access to triple red shells too.

[@shadhog0187]

that was very smart of Scott to consider torque. going faster decreases your angular velocity. surprised 3d sonic never incorporated that. games in that series either have sonic feel too sensitive at top speed or too sluggish at slower speeds.

I wonder why they never went back to adding back the option of tandem karts. Mario Kart kind of peaked at double dash in general TBH. I mean sure, 7 and 8 are fun with the low gravity and transformation mechanics but they're just not the same.

[@MsVilecat]

I think part of it is also how drifting feels in DD vs 7 and 8. There is a small difference but noticeable enough. I prefer DD's driving feel than the latest games.

If you're wondering what took Prime 4 so long, when you compare the development timeline of the restart with the development timeline of most other games, they entered full production around 2020. And there's your answer.

[@LounySchwarzbier]

Game devs all across the world deserve respect, time, fair compensation, and the CHOICE TO WORK AND ALSO HAVE A FAMILY LIFE. Fuck, the video games industry is rotten to the core. Imagine all the amazing games we're missing out on because people like Scott are pushed out due to toxic expectations and crunch.

Double Dash's partner system should be a mode in whatever next Mario Kart entry is being brewed over at Nintendo.

My favourite fact is mainly the inspiration for the rocket launcher against the Tyrant is mainly from Grizzly.

The fact about scott makes me realize the reason of those delays a bit more… Jfc metroid was lucky to be announced finished but…man. imagine if this the same reason metroid 4 was delayed so much. Im starting to see these games require a LOT of stuff…and so much time…

[@harmhoeks5996]

It also had excellent 3rd party support that still has not been matched on a Nintendo console since then, not even with the Switch. However, even if they had used full-sized discs, there was still no beating the PS2 unless their console also had online play (over the Internet) and DVD playback (back when DVD players were new and very expensive).

[@nightwalkerj]

Some game developers back then were legends. I'd love to see more of that in today's games.

[@TimothyTimPSP]

This is a great way to do the did you know videos. Rather than rapid fire bits of info. I appreciate the history that goes along with it. It was a great video. Thank you.

[@missachan867]

I'm working on my German degree right now and minoring in Japanese, if you need help translating in the future I can help!

[@calamari_fan]

Perfect timing since RetroAchievements is gonna get GameCube support soon.

[@yuvi3000]

Like within a day soon! Can't wait!

NEW BREAKING INFO: WHEN MIYAMOTO USED TO WORK, DURING HIS LUNCH BREAKS, HE WOULD EAT AT AROUND NOON OR 1PM FOUND FROM THIS RANDOM JAPANESE MAGAZINE CRAZY

[@mukiex4413]

5:35 I groaned, but it's a fair joke XD

[@StefanPiano]

I live for GameCube stuff 🙏

Sega Saturn is better

[@lpnp9477]

I like kyoob

[@supervino256]

0:20 Homeland is such a cool game, the online part looks super neat as well. Hope Spike Chunsoft gives the game another shot someday…

[@primrosevale1995]

0:23 Ah, _P.N.03._ That's a GameCube game that literally no one talks about.

[@Mimi.1001]

Yet it's the only game of the illusive Capcom Five that remains exclusive to the GameCube.

[@lpnp9477]

It was mid of the mids

[@kamikazilucas]

the whole 60 hour work week just proves that its not that games are getting more expensive now, its just that companies arent getting away with that kind of bs anymore and have to staff appropriately, if games back then were staffed like they are these days they would have cost alot more but crunch was way more prominent then with people being paid less

[@callak_9974]

Its not just staffing appropriately because more staff can have its own issues, but planning out the development a lot better. Just like a remodeling project, add a reasonable cushion of time for underlying problems that may be found which would end up delaying progress.

[@mrshmuga9]

What do you mean? They are still getting away with it. You’re still looking at 60 hours per week or more even with hundreds of staff (employees or contractors). I get what you’re saying but even with that in mind, I do think games are more expensive, and there’s multiple factors involved. You could get away with a lot less back then. If you had posters with “text” in game, it could be blurry scribbles, whereas now you need someone to write, proofread, translate in multiple languages, and made it. It’s minor, but an example of the exponential growth that occurred with the jump to HD. You could get away with objects or areas being single flat drawn images, whereas now everything is its own model. Ya modelling software has improved, but outside buying pre-made Unity assets, those will still take more time than that one image. But most of all… making open-world games. The detail with each aspect has grown, and then you try making a big interconnected world as well. Whereas most games were linear back in the day. So it was shorter (in content), and took less time to develop. Now, that’s not to say it’s a free pass. These companies don’t get to whine it takes half a decade to make and cost obscene amounts of money when they’re making record profits (even account for inflation). You could say the customer is “forcing” them, but they make no attempts to scale it back in anyway, or bother developing smaller projects. They bet it all on high risk, high reward, and then complain to you as if they’re not swimming in money. They don’t care about sustainability (why certain IP like Nintendo’s are so valuable), which is why they push and burn through employees. Their workers, even the higher up ones, mean nothing to them. Meanwhile, you’ve got people at Japanese companies there for 20-30 years.

[@Compucles]

@@mrshmuga9 Although, isn't that much more of a problem with Japanese white collar companies in general? At least a number of isekai manga and light novels claim it is.

[@kamikazilucas]

@@mrshmuga9 most game companies are now going away from it, even rockstar are not doing it anymore after having 100 hour work weeks

[@mrshmuga9]

@@kamikazilucas And who is claiming that? Rockstar themselves? I'll believe it once a few employees say something. There's also the practice of guilt-tripping people. They may not "force" you to work overtime, but if everyone else does and you don't they won't like you and management might treat you worse "not a team player". The only shift I'm aware of is Eidos Montreal switching to 4 day work weeks. They keep the same pay, and they're still only working 8 hours a day (so 32h a week instead of 12h days to keep 40h a week). So they get an extra day off with no compromises. I'm interested to see how that works for them in a couple years, and if anyone else will try to replicate it. Looks like that happened 3 or so years ago. Maybe it'll be mentioned alongside their next game.

[@pakothehedgedog8937]

I still got my gamecube it was fun to work on internationally but I decided to retire it when I got my Wii that plays GC games But I still make sure my gamecube is in great condition, the system and how it was built was very unique it's kinda like wearing multiple hats, Definitely best system ever

[@Compucles]

I keep my GameCube around mainly for one reason: The Game Boy Player. It's my Wii I no longer have hooked up due to it being redundant next to my GameCube and Wii U (plus, I transferred my digital account to my Wii U).

[@Big_Dai]

Double-Dash IS the best MK game to date. Anything else that released afterwards, feels too safe and dull.

[@lpnp9477]

Interesting nostalgia coded take

[@SammEater]

I only played Double Dash recently via emulation, after watching Rebeltaxi's video about Gamecube games and I enjoyed it a lot.

[@CalebChrisR]

i love how much new info dykg puts out the last couple years

[@magicalkiwibird]

Man, I love these videos. Learning about this nostalgic period of my life makes me feel like there was bonus content I never got to experience, now now I have the players guide so I get to see everything I missed xD

[@SammEater]

Grizzly being the inspiration for the rocket launcher in Resident Evil is hilarious.

The quote early on of, "It is great he could articulate and tell me what he wanted." is such a designer thing to say. I have over a decade of drafting and design career experience, and it is insane how bad people are at just saying what they want the final product to do/look like. Like you don't need to know every technical detail about every screw in the product we make for you, but at least know vaguely what problem you want solved. This extends to people commissioning artwork too. My sibling is an artist and he hates the commissions that are like, "Uh I was a guy with a big sword and he has a red jacket." My sibling just sits there and is like, "Is this guy posing with the sword in any specific way? How old is the guy? Is he wearing just a jacket?" Like you don't need to know everything, but it helps to at least be like, "I need a drizzled warrior resting on his sword after a long battle. His jacket is a red military uniform that is open with a tank top underneath." and boom now that is a point iteration can begin from.

[@guillermobiasini3755]

What a Tyrannical Grizzly 🐻 .

[@Tom_Lube]

Fun fact; that rotational torque value that applied to the morph ball when it is rolling in a straight direction is actually the reason that the well-known glitch "infinite speed" works.

[@goranisacson2502]

While hearing Shinji MIkami was so obsessed he went around stores to fix their TV's to make his game look as good as it possibly could, combining it with that revelation that Scott got super-burned out doing his best to make Samus's Morph Ball work is... making me wonder what it was like to work under a guy like Mikami.

[@PyroJiro]

shout out Scott

[@NintendoCollecting]

Love hearing about Double Dash's items and 2 player gameplay

[@TheGeorgeIsaac]

We need a new Mario Kart Double Dash with more karts, characters and stages.

[@iamgly]

The morph ball trick is very satisfying to look at. Watching morph ball be lined up the more the speed grows, this is a very clever visual aspect for the game ! It is not even hard to implement. Let say you have a ball with a weight, you just have to add 4 weight point around the sphere, making a plane, so the ball would be affected by the torque from the additional weight points when the ball gains speed.

[@Jim-Jam]

That morph ball is prob my fav element of prime. Always thought it felt so natural to control and satisfying. Great to see who's behind it

[@thechugg4372]

Man this is why Double Dash is still the most creative and fun Mario Kart game, they really made a big banana and thought "That's so funny we should put it in the game"

[@kidgruesome407]

loved this channel for years now. keep up the great work.

[@bitwize]

As a multi-time visitor to Newport, RI, which also has mansions you can tour... I'm totally with Mikami on the mansions. One is kind of interesting, but then they get boring.

[@eccentricbass3730]

Double Dash was my first ever Mario game as a kid. Accessibility to new players? They nailed it.

[@markhor1988]

The fact they included Scott in Metroid for a Japanese company after quoting is praise enough. He made his decision.

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Nintendo GameCube game facts!

[@JustJulyo]

Channels like these are the reason why I love gaming!

[@Remington934]

Its always amazing hearing how nervous the developers we're about certain features, I love all these games and to think they might've been different if they had cold feet is crazy.

[@Shiradrenaline]

Great vid! Especially the spotlight on Scott, and the destructive nature of crunch. Who knows what else folks like Scott could have contributed if they weren't squeezed out of thr industry? Thank you for honestly reporting his reasons for departure.

Double Dash is the best Mario Kart game ever made and I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise. The tandem mechanic allowed for strategy and the manual drift boost control allowed for more skill-based racing

3:25 Scott Johnson sorta looks like Jim Carrey

[@joncarlos716]

So was Scott taking about mon-fri. 12 hrs. A week? Or 8.5 hrs mon-fri 7 days a week? My other thought is did his wife realize he was working on a project meaning the project would end some time. I get what she was trying to do but you know after working for ea you know he probably thought I should’ve never left Nintendo.

[@flumphflumph6021]

It was nice to learn about more Double Dash. I'm glad they saw the appeal of Baby Park because it wouldn't be quite the same game otherwise. I believe it's both fun for it's sheer chaos and a great way to break-in new players as without any boost pads, they usually want to learn how to go faster and quickly figure out what the items do.
