Hey Uncle Derek, I'm from Brazil and a Zeebo is kinda common to see one by here, it isn't super expensive, but it is more expensive than it should be, mainly because of the console fragility making a little hard to keep one running 100%. But if I can help you guys to get one in any way, please let me know!

For those that don't like the old 2005 graphics, the Ultimate HD PC version is actually worth looking up not because of the port itself, but because of the RE4HD Project mod that is made for it that is absolutely insane on the sheer effort put into this thing.

[@Jose-se9pu]

The game aged like fine wine, and is a testament about how powerfull the Gamecube was.

[@TheDapperCat]

Absolutely the RE4HD Project is the best way if you can. Fans found the real world locations and buildings in Spain that Capcom took photos of to make the original textures, and took new high resolution versions. Not only that but they've been remodelling flat geometry that used 3d sourced materials to fit those original sources. I don't think we'll ever see a fan remaster as good as that project, ai upscaling is cool when it works (depends on the art style or rendering technique), I'm not a fan of new textures made from scratch made to mimic what the artist thinks it should look like, but the peak is finding the actual texture sources. If Capcom was smart, they would contact the fans working on RE4HD Project and work with them to implement that work officially into new releases, it's a given Capcom will put out RE HD ports on PS5 and XSX, why not update them considering the work has been done for them (also some of the updated textures in the "HD" RE4 ports are in some cases lower resolution or completely different from the originals, so there's multiple reasons to use the mod over Capcom's official HD releases). Frankly we don't need a RE4 remake, the gameplay holds up to this day and any complaints about the visuals being dated, the HD Project Mod fixes.

[@vonmalvarius]

RE4HD Project is such an amazing show of love

[@Holothurion]

The Zeebo was also released here on Mexico, being sold at Walmart (though some games were only released on one country or the other). Needless to say, in the era of PS3, X360 and Wii, it didn't fare well, thanks in large part to its catalog (it was seriously underpowered, so the libray consisted of old games, downgraded ports, and educational titles) and its price (too expensive for what it offered). Regarding "Resident Evil 4: Zeebo Version", it was only released on Brazil, it is a port of the iOS/Android version (and not the other way around, as some claim), and its main claim to fame are its blue-colored enemies. While lacking, simplifying or reworking many features of its console brethen, the iOS/AND version can still be considered a good game, due to its mobile nature (the mission-based gameplay works really well to play for short periods of time) and being released when these devices weren't as powerful as what we have nowadays; and, as a bonus, it doesn't feature the Smurfs as Ganados.

[@TheAwey21]

Oh i had RE4 on my Zeebo and i would be happy to send it away if they weren't so unreliable. To think that it predates the original snapdragon SOC

[@benifacio]

Holy crap, really? Never saw one on Mexa Wal Mart

[@Holothurion]

@@benifacio Yeah, the first couple weeks they were even promoting it with promotional models/hostesses. It retailed, at launch, for $3,000 pesos ($141 dollars), then $2,250 ($105), then $2,000 ($94); buying a PS2 was simply a far better deal. The magazines largely ignored it, but Televisa and TV Azteca aired several spots (where they referenced and emphasized its edutainment aspects, and that alone says a lot) and the console was heavily promoted in "En Familia con Chabelo". It failed to generate enough interest and quickly lost its own booth and shelf and was relegated along with the rest of the low cost and cheap electronics. Here on Mexico City and its Metropolitan Area, it was on shelves for less than a year.

[@Holothurion]

By the way, Zeebo Inc. was established and funded by TecToy (Sega's longtime Brazilian partner) and Qualcomm, and had agreements with Telcel, Claro and AT&T.

[@SodaMazing2]

A few things to note about the Wii version: -There are more enemies that spawn to compensate for the motion controls, so playing with a controller puts you at a disadvantage -If you set your Wii to widescreen in the settings, the game actually gets blurrier as it tries to zoom in the picture. It's worth setting your Wii to 4:3 in order to get the most resolution out of the game.

[@chchris25]

Interesting, I didn’t know that. But how do you play in 16:9 if you set your Wii in 4:3? Do you just play the game with black bars all around the screen?

[@SodaMazing2]

@Christian Chavez Set your TV to zoom in and it'll display the game in widescreen without the resolution drop.

I remember hearing a friend rave about RE4 when I was younger, and another friend of mine suggested he wanted to try it because of that. So I went ahead and bought the Gamecube version to gift him when I was going to visit later, but before that I played it myself to see what I thought. I hated horror movies and games and was still very squeamish to this kind of stuff, but yet my first experience playing it, I wasn't too bothered. After I gave him the game, I ended up buying my own copy, too. Then I ran into the chainsaw guy when I restarted because I had no shotgun, and he scared the shit out of me so bad I didn't play it again for over 8 years. Then I found out the modding scene for the PC version, looked for that and realized they had an easy mode in it, and beat the game that way. I'm still terrified to this day by the chainsaw guys, but even for a non-horror type of person, I can see why this game is so popular still. Leon is a really cool hero, and I've always liked him as a character because of this game. I just wish I could tolerate the blood and gore better to play it again, I'm always too afraid of getting killed and seeing some of the horrifying deaths that I know exist in it.

I replayed this game last sunday on PS4...after 15 years, its still as perfect as it was in 2005. Probably the best game ever made. Also worth noticing how good the game still looks, a testament about how powerfull the Gamecube was.

[@borbzone9351]

Dude, a Oculus Quest 2 port is soon, you gotta check it out

[@ChaosAngel209]

Uncle Derek and Producer Grace are the the medicine I need for this times of great need.

“What are you buying?”

[@RetroGamerBB]

I've been saying the Wii version was a bucket full of headshots since it came out. Shame there was no WiiU version

[@voteDC]

I'm currently playing the Wii version on my phone thanks to the Dolphin emulator (I find the MOD version works best for it). The great thing is that you can just set the controls to use the Classic controller and it's just like playing the GameCube version but you still get all the extra content.

My first time playing RE4 was on the Wii and honestly I was too scared of it as a kid. Once I got my first iPhone years later (3GS) this was one of the first games I got because it felt like a true AAA game on a cell phone at the time where flappy bird and candy crush were the only other options. I actually fully completed the iOS version on a cross country trip so I have fond memories of it.

[@gokusondbz]

Personally I would love PSVR support for PS4 RE4.

[@ShatteredRoom]

Holy shit dude, this video yeeted me back to 2011. I played the iOS port on an iPhone 3G with no cell service that I was using as an ipod! It was actually pretty good, imo. It was a good time. That port of 4, and Degeneration, so much fun.

[@SnugglehPuppeh]

"Whole sections are completely missing from the version. Like the clocktower? Completely cut out." Great preview. Glad to know what to look forward to in the 2021 remake.

[@kio5200]

Just heard about RE 4 VR port ONLY for Oculus Quest 2

[@BASSTakena]

Hearing that you are returning to music and that HEADSHOT CITY shout when you talked about the Wii port put a smile on my face, man. I still listen to all the SA albums, and this year marked the 10th Anniversary of Scoops/Gearhart!

[@PinkManGuy]

Wow, thanks so much for making this video! I've been looking forward to it ever since you responded to my message!

[@KathyXie]

Derek: I loves some RE4 on the go Start to play with the chainsaw controller

[@MicaiahtheSlayer]

I'm excited for the VR version coming out !

[@rickydo6572]

I remember almost getting a Zeebo when it was released because people were saying it had Sonic Adventure 1 in it's library and it was cheaper than the big consoles on the market, but after learning that it would run games from android and Sonic Adventure wasn't on it's library I decided not to buy it.

[@rodrigodavet7512]

I almost got a zeebo for the same reason. Huge Sonic fan, never had a Dreamcast or a GC, really wanted to play the Adventure games. Luckily, I changed my mind and bought a DSi instead haha. Also, I think Sonic Adventure was released later in the Zeebo's (extremely short) life, or something like that? I'm pretty sure it was indeed released.

[@cosmicjenny4508]

This video will be out-of-date once the Quest 2 port releases!

[@mangajoe]

Oh my god, I used to make mods for the first PC version! I worked on a full pack to replace Leon with Solid Snake.

[@gtafans93]

You can now count oculus quest 2 on that list

[@8444mhernandez]

I'm just glad the intro to punching weight is back. It's a great intro.

[@brdn666]

When my brother and I were little, we didn’t share our games much. I had a PS2 and he had a GameCube. I wanted to play this game so bad though that I bought the GameCube version. He wanted to play Kingdom Hearts, so we switched consoles to play. We continued sharing and playing games together. This game honestly saved our relationship.

[@EviltheNub]

When I played it on the Wii I had problems with explosions sometimes not doing any damage. The first time it happened was when I was playing Assignment Ada, I lured a group of baddies through a door and threw a grenade as soon as they opened it. It blew up right between the first guy's feet and nothing happened, none of them even flinched. The second time was while I was playing Mercenaries. I was Hunk in the village and had enough points for a 5-star ranking, all I had to do was run out the clock. I ran to the building with the second floor ledge that can only be accessed by the one ladder. I wait for a while so that all the baddies are in there and I shoot the barrel below me. I jump down where the barrel was and immediately get decapitated by one of the Bella sisters. Somehow the explosion that killed everyone else in the room had no effect on her.

[@XanderCrease]

@15:40 Completely glossed over the best port imo! RE4 PC Ultimate HD. PC = 4K - 60 FPS - Mouse Precision Aiming! Wii = 480p - 20-30 fps - Large Cursor on screen.

[@yusukeelric]

Ubisoft in charge of ports were terrible mistakes. Devil may cry 3 had terrible joystick support, no mouse support. IM GLAD it got an hd release that actually works like a game and not a madman experiment where you have to add like 3 patches to make it playable.

[@lukabrasi001]

i love that the zeebo port is actually just a basic java game ported to the zeebo, a first person half-life/counter strike game that reskinned the first person gun and hand into Leon. i fondly remember playing both the half-life and counter strike versions and when i saw the RE4 port, i was immediately thrown back

[@aimwell8813]

You forgot to at least give an honorable mention to the upcoming Oculus Quest 2 port of the game

[@StopSkeletonsFromFighting]

It wasn’t announced yet.

[@aimwell8813]

@@StopSkeletonsFromFighting The game would be great in VR

[@The4thSnake]

Have to rewatch the old RE4 Getting Super Nerdy video.

[@HalNeinThousand]

You probably have the pre-patched version of the 2007 PC port. In its initial release, the game had no lighting: no shadows except for the ones drawn into the textures and every surface was brightly lit. You can find footage of it by looking for the unpatched version. It's truly a sight to behold.

[@Acer0Cool]

Weird how I recently completed re4 and now it's all over my recommended and I'm not even mad at my FBI agent.
