Nintendo's Forgotten Music Game - Electroplankton

[@Indanam]

Don't worry, next video I will wear shorts that are EVEN SHORTER than those ☺️☺️☺️

[@lostglaceon9274]

I didn't forget it... :c Most people did, and I wish they didn't! It's a neat experience, and I wish Electroplankton got expanded on further with the 3DS. It would've been really neat to have everything be colorful with a little bit of new (literal) depth to it!

[@Indanam]

Damn, the 3DS woulda been a perfect fit! The 3D effect really would've really elevated it as a unique musical experience

[@opaltoralien4015]

Electroplankton has SO MUCH FUN as a kid. I adored it so much, it was just so GOOD. Even as a kid it ensnared my eyes, ears, mind and heart for HOURS. Haha, my parents hated it.

[@brood846]

Great video! Especially liked the presentation of this one, keep it up!

[@Indanam]

Thanks, I put extra effort into this one's presentation so I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@crowyo9137]

I saw this game in a huge list of DS games, and the cover really caught my eye. Thank you so much for making this short, informative video about the game! You covered the game and it's history in a concise but entertaining manner, so thank you.

[@Indanam]

No worries, glad you liked the video!

[@tomwilson6888]

This video was absolutely beautiful! Super funny, great editing and very informative. Always wondered where that Smash map came from! Seems like a cool game, would love to see more like this on the Switch!

[@Indanam]

Thanks man, I tried a lotta new stuff in this video so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@Qtippy.]

This video and this channel in general is such a gem. I’m so glad I found this channel in my recommended. As one of the other comments said, the editing is great, the jokes are funny and the video is overall entertaining. Not sure why I haven’t seen this video sooner, but keep making vids! I’d love to see more content from you. (btw is there any other way to support you other than watching your videos?)

[@Indanam]

Thank you Ann, it means a lot that you regularly comment on my videos. I forget sometimes that my creations can resonate with people in a major way. I will probably do an update video soon, and hopefully can lay out some more content after that. As for offering support (very kind of you btw 😅), soon I'll be releasing my music for the first time! So probably by streaming/purchasing/sharing the EP once it's released. More details to come in the update video! 🙂

[@pianomasher6691]

I always wondered where that came from! Also the editing top tier

[@Indanam]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@fronknstine]

I still get this out to while away an hour, just having musical fun. I've introduced my grandkids to it, and my grandaughter loves using Volvoice to record insults about her brother... Have also sampled different Henenbow leaf arrangements into Loopy Pro for a multi-layered ensemble. Thanks for the well made video.

[@rkroll17]

My comment goes straight into B tier

[@TheOneToKeepYouWaiting]

Super high quality stuff! You earned a sub!

[@Indanam]

Aw thanks!

[@Meowwentthedino]

I remember having this game, I got it as an early import not for sale copy from my brother who (still) runs a Nintendo review website. It was such a fun piece of software to just play around with!

[@yodogerik]

I appreciate this video being able to...explain what Electroplankton is, because I sure didn't know. I recently picked it up for the first time and toyed with it, but I was confused. It wasn't a rhythm game, obviously, which I expected. I expected it to be more like Wii Music, where you get to move things around and it will always somehow magically sound good. But this game didn't do that either. It was always so chaotic, and whenever I got something that sounded "interesting," I chocked it up to luck and happenstance. But I suppose from your video that it's more of a "vibing experience." Moving things around, seeing how the sound changes, and not listening for the "music" really, but moreso listening and watching and being encapsulated by the overall tone and vibes, and I think I can appreciate that. Solid video!

[@SilverXTikal]

Bro this is SIIICK! I never heard of this game before and NEED to try it now

[@Indanam]

Glad ya liked it 😃

[@Thrandin]

THANK YOU! I completely forgot this game, Imma go play it right now

[@Indanam]

You're welcome, enjoy!

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Would like to see the Electroplankton (other than Hanenbow, since they are stage elements) as Assist Trophy summons in Smash 6.

[@northstringlarge]

Nice presentation, great editing, I see the NakeyJakey inspiration, I agree with the comment saying youre trying too hard, although it is a bit harsh to straight up call you a tryhard. Nice work!!

[@Indanam]

Thanks, glad you liked it 🙂

[@420HBKHHHDX8]

There was a DS demo on Wii. I played it so much but never bought the full game. I never forgot it though :D

[@Indanam]

Didn't know you could play a demo on the Wii! Now I'm imagining an Electroplankton with motion controls, that would actually be sick

[@420HBKHHHDX8]

@@Indanam Sadly not. It was a Wii channel where you download DS demos to the DS. :D

[@beez1717]

I love this game! It's so relaxing and fun to mess aeound with. I wouod call a lot of the experiences either experimental music or tech demos but it doesn't matter because it's an entire experience. I had this game when I jad a DS, before it broke, and when I got a DSi to replace it I found out the copy I got for Christmas was pirated when it wouldn't work! All these years later and I've hacked my 3DS and I can play it again and it's still as fun as ever.

[@coolbw]

I don’t ever comment on videos. But I clicked this because it was on my recommended, I thought it had 245k views not 245. I’ll be subbing keep the good content up, good presentation here.

[@Indanam]

Haha I'm glad you accidentally clicked and enjoyed the video 😄 Will be doing some more video essays like these into the future!

[@pico_2k]

My university professor is showing this video to us in class right now

[@Notester82]

This was a fun lil look at Electroplankton! I had no idea it was made by someone who was big on interactive art installations, but it makes sense.. ;u; Was also fun to discover this game through the individual DSiWare applications for each Electroplankton, meep!

[@FzeroVaporeon]

I made an art piece and it's very similar to electro plankton it's on my community page

[@griffinbrooks6748]

when i saw the thumbnail i thought it was a pacman rhythm game xDD

[@michaellllllll]

This video is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Indanam]

Glad you liked it! 😄

[@FzeroVaporeon]

I need to play this game with lemon tek drink

[@Iphao]

Who else played it before they found out it was in Smash?

[@Boss-Bot]

In the US this game wasn't sold in retail stores, you had to get it directly from Nintendo.

[@Indanam]

Interesting, I don't think it was ever available in Australia either - so I would've never experienced it if it wasn't for my R4 card 😯

[@MDS2763]

[@mmyz7]

This game laid the foundation for my avid passion in music when I was 9. I'm now 22 and an aspiring music producer. Sorry mom

[@stpworld]

I have it on my nintendo dsi and I play it sometimes. I got the Japan and USA version.

[@ItsSamStone]

It’s funny that Electroplankton didn’t sell well... because when I was younger and DS & PSP games were selling in stores and all the rage (especially because I’ve been a musician since forever), I’d have bought this in a heartbeat - I just never heard of this game until literally now. 2022 (one of the worst years in history). Sheesh. That’s a shame. This looks like an incredible game. They should’ve advertised it more and I swear it would’ve been a HIT. Anyways, gonna get this game for my DS now and play the heck out of it... maybe even use it to record an actual song! Seems like it could be amazing sampling something from it. I feel like it could create some really good The 1975-type songs, or maybe even some trippy sounding Hip Hop/Rap/Trap beats if sampled, chopped up, reversed, with an applied High-Pass Filter & the Lo-Fo effect added to it, etc etc etc... Glad they made a Super Smash Bros level out of its main screen. I’d have never known! This game absolutely deserves more clout. No doubt. 🙏

[@punkloser1465]

They sold the games separately in the DSi shop and I ended up buying Hanenbow for...obvious reason. The game is alright but my expectations were too high (as someone who plays rhythm games)

[@NeonLights84X]

I like the Stage in Smash Ultimate

[@ronanladds2803]

This is sick! Can you make a Playboi Carti type beat on this?

[@Indanam]

I wouldn't be surprised if @ MEH was made with this game

[@pontiuspilates]

I kinda like your videos and I just subbed. But boy, you're a try hard. Relax a bit, no need to push jokes too much. Let them ebb and flow naturally. :D

[@Indanam]

Tryhard sounds a bit harsh but I appreciate you backed that up with some actual critiques. This video was a big step in a new direction so I am aware that some aspects aren't as polished as they could be. I wanted to try adding jokes so I did, but I can totally see how they may need a bit more care in future. Thanks for the feedback 🤝

[@pontiuspilates]

@@Indanam hehe. No worries, you're cool. In this day and age of stupid positivity and autism, and snowflakes, I'd say some honest criticism has much more value than only mindless praise... 🙂

This is a scam. you can’t steal the krabby patty formula. 0/10 unplayable

[@bland9876]

This is the worst stage in smash Ultimate along with one other.

[@Indanam]

I would say the Great Cave Offensive is the other one lol

[@bland9876]

@@Indanam if you have 8 players then I actually like it.

[@yolomolo2736]

The real question is WHY, why did they put this in smash bros, who even knows this game.

[@commentercommenting6963]

Lol the white legs are so wtf
