The Video Game Myths, Rumors, and Urban Legends Iceberg: A Deeper Look

[@loneskankster2242]

As a mobile user, can I just say how amazing it is that this 8 hour video has virtually no ads? What a legend

[@NEScRETRO]

I make sure my videos only have ads at either the beginning or the end, NEVER in the middle! Though I now have KZbin premium, I know what it's like listening to a video while gaming, only for an ad to start playing, and having to skip it while in the middle of gameplay. There's a very specific moment from about 10 years ago or so, long before I was a KZbinr, I was playing Destiny and in the middle of a raid, listening to a video, and I swear, ads kept popping up every couple minutes, and I couldn't skip them because I was in the middle of something, and I remember thinking to myself, "if I ever make KZbin videos, I'll never have ads in the middle, this is really annoying" lol.

[@loneskankster2242]

@@NEScRETRO I really appreciate that. I've been listening to a lot of long form content as of late, and I get how hard that is to make. But having to skip an ad every 20 minuets can get old. I was an hour into this before i realized I never had to skip once. You've done a great job with the video, it flows nicely and I'm never feeling bored, and I'm in hour 4. Just felt like I had to appreciate the well timed ad breaks. Thank you for your work!

[@byefelicia1996]

I'm not exaggerating when I say I've been putting all of your videos on repeat when it comes to work or sleep almost every day since the first Mario 64 Iceberg video. Your voice is very easy to listen to, and your videos are so great and straight to the point.The kind of creator that can make you sit down for hours and hear all about something, even if you've either never heard of nor have been interested in the thing before. It's a reminder that no matter how corporate KZbin is, or more big names being revealed to be scummy, there will always be videos like these. This is the good side of KZbin that can never die out -- just good, genuine, passionate people having a nice long talk sharing their favorite things.

[@NEScRETRO]

That really means a lot to hear, thank you so much! I'm always worried my voice is super nasaly and hard to listen to lol. Not to mention I was sick during a portion of recording this video lol. I do my best to research points that I don't know, and that ends up making this videos take forever to make!

One thing that I really like about your videos is the usage of PC-98 Touhou music. Not only are they really underrated and having other people hear them is a great idea, their chiptune nature also fits perfectly with most of the NES/SNES era games that's in these types of videos. The video itself is cool, the music choice is brilliant, what can I say this is just a great video.

4:55:24 The Raichu evolution isn't a reference to Gorochu, but rather an oversight due to how the international Pokémon Red and Blue were developed. In Japan, the initial generation 1 games were Red and Green, which had even more glitches and a lot of off-model sprites (as the sprites were made before the model sheets were finalized). Pokémon Blue was later released, which updated the sprites and fixed a lot of the glitches, and mixed around the version exclusives. For the international release, Japanese Blue was used as a base for both Red and Blue versions. International Red is Japanese Blue modified to have Japanese Red's version exclusives, while International Blue is Japanese Blue modified to have Green's version exclusives. As if this wasn't already confusing enough, the old man originally requests a Raichu in Pokémon Green, and a Kadabra in Japanese Blue. His dialogue makes sense in Japanese Blue, since Kadabra evolves into Alakazam when traded, but the localizers forgot to alter the line for International Blue. I hope this made sense.

23:13 from all the stuff that I studied online, the minus world for the famicom disc system and all minus world stuff is really just supposed to be world 9. the reason it says world -1 is because Nintendo never added the 9 sprite when making the game, and world 9 was ment to be a extra world after world 8, but its easier to get rid of a single sprite than to get rid of a list of levels in a world, so they put the world in the files, ment to never be played, and deleted the 9 sprite, and when you enter the pipe without actually loading the warp zone, the game doesn't know what world to load in, so it loads in 9-1, but since there is no nine sprite, it becomes -1

[@AzureRoxe]

One cool thing is that the quest you mentioned from Bloodborne is referenced in Honkai Star Rail. A girl speaks you through a window wondering where her sister is and mentioning she's always with a bell. This spawns the area's Warp Trotter [which looks like a pig] and, when you defeat it, it drops the bell. You can bring the bell back to the girl and she realizes her sister must be dead, so she starts crying. If you try to talk to her again, it's implied she's now dead and left a music box there. You can then go back to when you fought the Warp Trotter and find the sister, who is looking for the girl who "ran away". You can give her the music box, which confirms she truly was dead and lets her spirit go free to join her sister in the afterlife.

[@NEScRETRO]

Thank you so much! I always feel that my voice is kinda nasally, so I appreciate hearing that others enjoy it! It's very motivating!

[@NeteruSolink]

It's funny how 3 hourd 35 minutes into the video you'd edit out jumpscares just in case someone was still watching, I was planning on sleeping through this video late at night but it was so interesting I had to watch it entirely, took me 2 sittings, great video man, also long live ManlyBadassHero

[@victorgarcia7330]

This video needs more views the way you make everything so relatable makes it seem like im talking to a friend and doesnt seem like an ai written script

[@NEScRETRO]

The reality of AI creating KZbin videos is just about the norm now, and I feel it takes a lot of personality out of the videos. Obviously, that goes without saying, but it's just becoming more widespread now, and this is really just the beginning. Soon, they'll probably be able to even edit the videos themselves.

[@victorgarcia7330]

@@NEScRETRO that's why I appreciate the video so much I have watched the same video made by others but ur personality made it better

[@punstartracer]

Something about the Michael Jackson composing Sonic 3's music that confirms it is that Yuji Naka made a tweet on his official account nonchalantly saying something in the lines of "Why did the team working on Sonic Origins didn't use the music composed by Michael Jackson on their new release?" In reference to the music in Sonic 3 changing for that release of the game, and implying the original was made by Michael

[@scaryperson6652]

YOOOO ive been sleeping to ur vids on repeat for like the past week again, im so glad you dropped a new video bro your content is amazing

[@badgerfish7]

I just watched a guy talk about random video game things for 7 and a half hours and loved every second of it.

[@SupercatTheBazingalinga]

You’ve just made me realise that no GTA games have kids in them, which is something that totally makes sense but I never noticed before.

[@rose_above_dark4908]

Genuinely one of my favorite videos of yours, helps me get through long tasks like school and travel. Though some entries I’m surprised weren’t on there were things like gaster from Undertale, half life 3 / team fortress 3 / portal 3 / valve game 3, the ultrakill size 2 fish, new tf2 update, etc. but honestly? With the sheer amount of research and content in this is extremely impressive on its own

[@IronFloydian]

So happy the new video is finally here! I'd definitely say you're my favorite content creator so I always look forward to these.

[@marikiri5119]

You're my hero. I'm going on a very long trip, and here you are, uploading yet another huge video, an hour before my train departs. This video will certainly keep me entertained, thank you a lot

[@NEScRETRO]

I was thinking uploading this video during this time of year would be perfect for those traveling, so I'm happy to hear you'll be using this video exactly for that!

[@NEScRETRO]

One more thing, assuming that's Marisa in your pfp, there is a BUNCH of touhou music in this video lol

Thank you so much for this upload! I listen to these on my long bike rides and you have the best iceberg videos!

[@Harry-uh5hs]

I've been a big fan of your videos since I first discovered your SM64 one when the iceberg trend was at its peak, but honestly now it feels like you really own the format. No other channel comes close to the quality, energy and passion in your videos and your style really makes you stand out from the pack. Keep up the amazing content! I look forward to watching your future uploads :)

[@strabane-asda]

Listened to this while studying for my mock exams, and it was such great company! I might know more about Pokémon myths now than I do about logarithmic functions, but this was such a brilliantly narrated video I don’t mind at all (even if the exam is in about four hours lmao). I loved all the anecdotes. Keep it up, this was awesome!!

[@zatchbell5678]

You deserve FAR more subscribers my guy, love your sense of humor, your work, and your very down to earth, homegrown stories. You always give me nostalgia for the playground, even with the games I never played. Best wishes for you professionally and personally for the new year and beyond.

I listened to this whole video at work. Really nice not having to choose another video with the long format. I look forward to more videos from your channel. More video game centric ones I hope!

[@theOGTessTickle]

As an iceberg deepdive lover, I have to say this is one of the best ones, if not the best I have ever watched!!

[@Nintokis]

I don't know how or why I ended up on this video, but I spent the last four days watching it while playing. Godspeed, rando KZbinr.

[@theoriginalvivian]

The thing I love about NEScRETRO content is that I'll check uploads and be like, "Man, been a while, maybe they're done with KZbin" and then 3 days later drop a 7 hour video

[@compromisedreality8827]

I watched ALL 7 and a half hours of this video over the course of 2 days, mostly as background noise while i played games, but I thoroughly enjoyed every entry on this iceberg. Well done NESc, I hope you are able to make more of these videos in the future.

[@danielchristensen3657]

Hahahah very nice. Thank you bro. 7 hours is hilarious. I had my complaints with the first few ice bergs but I respect your grind. Content machine and I appreciate it man.

[@Yuri-qc4ck]

I had a cursed Pokémon ruby version. No matter how strog and well prepared my team was, no one in my class was able to beat glacia on with my cartridge. Nothing could beat her. Even a full level 100 team of Pokémons wasn't able to defeat her last Pokémon. It was bizarre.

[@squidgaming7526]

Guys i 100% found a way to play as a fortnite loot llama in smash ultimate, and its super easy! all you have to do is defeat master hand while playing as master hand 444, 444, 1 5 1 times then the loot llama will challenge you. it has the ability to teleport via rift, it can launch loot at you by barfing it up, getting hit by the loot will damage you, and it can scream in your face, stunning you and breaking your ears. its ultimate is the ability to explode into a big pile of loot being launched in a circle around the llama damaging everyone instantly, then the llama will reform by confetti swirling around the spot it exploded at. if you defeat the loot llama, it will get added to your roster. if you lose then you have to fight master hand as master hand 444, 444, 1 5 1 times again.

[@arrivalofdoom7449]

Unironically the most hype I've felt this entire year

[@Nomar2007_NWDE_WRESTLING]

4:46 *Neo Green Hill Zone* is actually the early name for *Aquatic Ruin Zone* so it is not a cut level itself, but there were actually more *Sonic The Hedgehog 2* levels that did not made the cut like *Rock World Zone* , *Ocean Wind Zone* , *Blue Ocean Zone* , *Madness Mountain Zone* , *Tropical Plant Zone* , *Olympus Zone* , *Emerald Isle Zone* , and *Sand Shower Zone/Winter Zone* which idk if there were meant to be 2 desert levels planned with *Dust Hill Zone* or that Dust Hill is just an early name for *Mystic Cave Zone*

[@Blocky4196]

I noticed you read all your comments, so wanted to say ive been watching you since the orignal mario iceberg. Love your work. Probably the best reasearched and dictated of videos out there. Congrats on your success bud.

[@NotsoKrnl]

This is hands down the best gaming video I’ve ever seen on this website. From the content itself, the methodical structure of the video, the asmr narration, the nice explanation for every entry, this is simply the best gaming video on this site. This video is timeless.

[@NEScRETRO]

Thank you!!! That really, truly means a lot to me!

[@Casbury_]

You probably could've algorithm optimized this by splitting it into like 7 different videos to rake in views, but the fact that you didn't and upload it all in one go rly says something about your dedication to the vid I can rly appreciate it

[@NEScRETRO]

I prefer longer videos myself, so I'd rather it just be one single long video! I don't like split up videos when I'm playing a game or something, because then I need to tab out every time they end to find something else lol.

@@NEScRETRO youre so real for that

[@L_Zant]

Dude, finally, I've been waiting for some of your videos to drop since you re uploaded your icebergs last year, lol. Now I can see what was taking so long, haha. Between you and SmoughTown, I have so much of the tube to watch. Keep it up!

[@DarkWarrior831]

Thank you for making these. They make the work day so much more enjoyable. I relisten to the N64 related videos all the time. Have a Happy New Year!

[@NEScRETRO]

I started making videos because I too would use long format videos to get me through days I work, so I'm happy it helps others in the same way!

[@grawman67]

I can't believe this doesn't have more likes. I'm maybe a third if the way through and this is one of my favorite videos I've seen a long while. You're both to the point but also personal and seem like a cool guy. Definitely got a sub out of me and I'm pumped to watch more of your stuff!

[@coryingram2189]

A thought about the L is real 2401 plaque that I don't think I have seen anyone mention before (but maybe they have). Looking closely at the texture, what is supposedly a 2 looks a lot more like the Japanese "コ". Furthermore the "401" looks like it might be "イン", although I am a lot less confident on that part. Put that together and you have コイン which is Japanese for "coin", which could make at least some sense in the context of Mario. I have no idea what the rest of the plaque would say in that case, but to me the "コ" looks really convincing. Also, I don't know why people usually assume the text would be in English when it is a Japanese game. I hope some day the original texture is found so we can finally know for sure.

[@marikiri5119]

Oh god. I'm so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one thinking about it. I totally agree with コ, and as far as I'm concerned "L is" looks a lot like 上は. In context of a sentence, that might mean something about the top. However, if we're talking about 2401, Japanese grammar expects a verb at the end of a sentence. コイン being there seems very weird. I might try looking into the mystery again with this approach. I don't know Japanese, but i invested enough of time in Japanese culture to recognise at least the simplest kanji and kana

[@FossaKingAve]

I love the high-quality vids, it really beats getting short, low-quality videos every couple weeks. Again, keep it up man!

[@gonderage]

okay but you missed the funniest part about the nier automata church. the modders needed to keep their shit on the hush because there was this really toxic guy who steals people's work and moves to different communities. if they were open about it, the guy would start drama and modding wouldve gotten nowhere.

[@anooble4719]

This is the longest video I've ever seen in one sitting and I really enjoyed it! I was thinking of some other ones that didn't make it on the iceberg such as entity 303, Wizard101 ghost girl, cuthulu boss fight in terraria, sad Satan, sly 5, ssb4 gematsu leak, silent hill ambulance ending, wario abberition, Minecraft sky dimension, I'm sure I know of more but those are the ones I can think of on the top of my head. It would be interesting to see another video later on explaining video game urban legends that did not make the iceberg, I'd be interested in more

[@NEScRETRO]

That would be amazing! I'll look into it!

[@spineappletea]

I cannot begin to thank you for the content you put out. The quantity and quality of your videos matched with the niche topics you cover is unparalleled on this platform. I'm honestly struggling to come up with words here so I'm just going to say it again, thank you.
