Unreleased Gizmondo - Cancelled Games | Halo + more

[@slopesgameroom]

Everything about this video is awesome. You deserve so much more coverage. Great work

[@Jenovi]

Thanks Dan. I highly appreciate you checking this out. I knew going into this that the Gizmondo would have very low viewership appeal, so I appreciate the support.

[@Myako]

You never cease to dig into scarcely-covered corners of gaming history, and do so in an extremely engaging way. The same thing goes for your more mainstream content. You simply have a very satisfying way of conveying information. Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Jenovi]

Thank you very much.

[@st1ka]

"With a name like Hustler, it's a bit difficult to find leads" I can only imagine what your search history must look right now xD

[@Jenovi]

100% this right here! 😂🤣

[@Myako]

Probably similar to yours when you researched that brazilian show, unless your remembered its name. 😁

[@CandisClassicGameShrine]

Love, love, love this! You cover the less talked about stuff so well and this was no exception. Maybe one day I’ll add this to the shrine. That balls game is very similar Space Squash on VB.

[@Jenovi]

Thank you for those kind words.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

This was fantastic, Jenovi. The handheld game capture came out really well. If people only knew the crazy setup that you invented in order to film the footage. Looking forward to part two.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks amigo. Finally made it back into the comment section. Feeling kind of guilty about leaving it for a bit.

[@FallicIdol]

The history behind the Gizmodo is so much interesting than the actual handheld

[@Jenovi]

There really are some interesting ones.

[@cm3004]

Concerning Atob AB (later Pixelbite AB), they're a Swedish company (like Gizmondo, which probably explains how they got involved with each other), "AB" means aktiebolag, or joint-stock company, and would probably be translated as "Limited". Actually, they're situated pretty close to Koenigsegg, so that probably helped.

[@Jenovi]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@BlastProcessing]

Nice one mate, this was a fascinating video. Ball Busters looks particularly interesting, would have loved to see it get released somewhere else eventually! Ah well.

[@Jenovi]

There's a couple interesting ones that seem to just be lost. Kind of wild how this stuff just disappears.

[@reagandow850]

Very cool of you to give Retro Break a plug. He does a fantastic job and his enthusiasm for retro games is infectious. Great work as always Jenovi...this is incredible stuff.

[@Jenovi]

He has a very cool show, and really knows his stuff. Glad you're already watching his stuff.

[@NESFriend]

Great video Jenovi! Love hearing about these forgotten systems and things that never were.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks amigo.

[@Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

That super ball busters looks awesome, and City definitely seemed ahead of its time. It’s a shame that everything to do with the system was a mess. Great vid!

[@Jenovi]

Certainly disappointing and shocking that anything released considering what was happening behind the scenes.

[@Dongled]

Oooh this is the video you were talking about on Jimmy Hapa's stream! Can't wait to dive into this.

[@Jenovi]

Hope you found it interesting bud.

[@GimblyGFR]

Excellent video. Your investigative work is always top-notch. I know very little about the Gizmondo, but the video is really interesting anyway. I'm now curious about the console, so I'll dig a little on the Interwebs. Great work, Jenovi.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks Federico. I'll certainly be discussing more interesting storied in the upcoming parts.

[@GimblyGFR]

@@Jenovi Can't wait to see the next videos. The hardware specs in the Gizmondo are not bad (for the time). An interesting little system, though doomed from the start.

[@Jenovi]

Should be a bit quicker as the script is written and all gameplay is captured.

[@GimblyGFR]

@@Jenovi Cool!

[@RetroBreak]

Been looking forward to this! Great video! Always found the Gizmondo (and it’s plans for the future) really interesting, I have some great memories of the system despite everyone around me saying how rubbish it was! Thanks for the shout-out BTW! Never thought my video on Chicane would be recognised all these years later! :)

[@Jenovi]

You’re very welcome Nick. I highly appreciate the work you do on your channel.

[@alexander_mejia]

Thank you for all the great research you do. These videos are always a treat!

[@Jenovi]

Thanks Alex.

[@gojohnniegogo]

I particularly find the Jordan F1 aspect interesting, they were the team I followed in the late 90s until they became Midland. Superb work, can't be easy tackling such niche stuff things as the Gizmondo

[@Jenovi]

Really interesting deal. I read over maybe 100+ pages of legal docs for the video. Telling these stories are complicated by those involved wishing to be fully disassociate from it.

[@gojohnniegogo]

@@Jenovi Wow, that's dedication!

[@TheProgressiveStyle]

I’m honestly impressed by this console.

[@Jenovi]

Same here. Terrible situation that unfolded for the people making this work.

[@KGRAMR]

Another quality video from our farm boy Shawn and Gury Larry! Good work :)

[@Jenovi]

Thanks mate.

[@tubebandits4439]

Really love your persona and your videos! You seem like a nice and humble guy.

[@Jenovi]

A very kind comment. Thank you for that.

[@BlownMacTruck]

Glad to see you back. Also that’s some epic hair!

[@Jenovi]

Thank you. I didn’t even know I had hair like this until now. 😂

[@zackschilling4376]

"No music from Will.I.Am" is a great selling point.

[@Jenovi]

🤣

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

Wow, I loved that racing game back then. It was amazing! I didn't remembered the name, now that you reminded it to me I need to find it. Okay, I know that I come here a little late, but anyway, it worth it. I love your unreleased series, and it's better when it's for failed consoles like this one. I can't wait for another Gizmondo video!

[@Jenovi]

Working on it now, May even be out next week, it really depends on my work schedule.

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

@@Jenovi well, good luck with it. I'll be waiting here.

[@TopSpot123]

Excellent work. At the time I had more interest in the Gizmondo as a media device than as a gaming device. I don't mind being an early adopter for proven companies like Nintendo or Sony, but for newcomers, I tend to wait and see. Little did I know how the whole Gizmondo operation would implode, or how quickly! Greatly anticipating the next part, keep it up!

[@Jenovi]

It's quite wild. I certainly have some thoughts on if the company was ever intended to have success.

[@michaels9917]

The goodbye wave at the end needs to be a video standard.

[@Jenovi]

Essentially, it has. No clue why, but I feel the need to wave goodbye.

[@jeffstephenson9316]

Always like coming to your channel because you're going to get new information on this little handheld so much potential and it got totally screwed up too bad definitely could have been a very interesting system keep doing what you doing

[@Jenovi]

I fully agree. Also, thanks for watching.

[@Michael.Hunt.14-52]

Always happy to see a new Jenovi video

[@Jenovi]

Happy to supply them. 😆

[@salvadormendoza5045]

Love your videos... Can't wait for part two...

[@Jenovi]

Should be 1-2 weeks out.

[@jeremybowers3181]

Wow!! I had NO idea that this was a thing back in the day... My Foggy, early 20's I guess lol!. Dig it man, awesome and informative 👊💥🇺🇸

[@Jenovi]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@michaels9917]

Yes!!! Jenovi! Great to have some new content.

[@Jenovi]

Thanks for watching Michael.

[@dougr.8653]

Hello you, Larry. Awesome episode. 👍👍👍 I can't be blamed for not buying Gizmondo that time. Gameboy Advance had a much superior library. It was a tough competition. 😂

[@Jenovi]

It was also nearly impossible to get. I believe in the US, they were only sold at Mall Kiosk. I bypass those like the plague, so would have never even seen it.

[@thestad8]

Great to see another release from Jenovi!

[@Jenovi]

Thanks Tim. If you ever make it to Phoenix, let me know. I've relocated.

[@thecunninlynguist]

Guru Larry is everywhere

[@Jenovi]

Yes.... Yes he is.

[@sentientricecake3125]

God I love the unreleased series! Great video!

[@Jenovi]

Many thanks for watching.

[@zackschilling4376]

A friend of mine had an NGage, but no one I knew had one of these. I hadnt even heard of it til way later long after it had went bust.

[@Jenovi]

Me as well.

[@theresurgence2.081]

Jenovi + Guru Larry = Awesomeness

[@Jenovi]

He's a good dude.

[@show-me-retro]

Ball Buster looked pretty cool

[@Jenovi]

Very solid game.

[@justinm6392]

Amazing content

[@thejavagolf]

I never had one of these. Always wanted on though.

[@j1m909]

Always wanted one of these they were giving them away at one stage

[@Beefymcdeefy]

So I have something to say on the gizmondo forums my dad was contacted by Carl freer and was given all the unreleased games he was told to give the downloads to the public so he did and here we are!

[@Beefymcdeefy]

His KZbin channel is uk kraut gaming

[@CollinKenny]

Thank you!

[@Jenovi]

You're welcome! 😆

[@asecretone]

Alien Hominid was cancelled after Gizmondo thought it was actually a Ridley Scott produced game called Alien: Hominid

[@OmarJames]

Jenovi, where you get that hoodie from, baby? It looks fresh as hell!

[@Jenovi]

Thanks amigo! That's a farmer/cowboy brand called Hooey. Not sure where you could find it, I mainly shop of ranch supply stores for my gear, this one came from Cal-Ranch.

[@OmarJames]

@@Jenovi thanks!

[@Jamie-yp7qz]

Ngl I think I might get a Gizmondo to play some of its unreleased games lol

[@Jenovi]

I would recommend it. 🤠

[@ronaldsmith7827]

Me and my son love jenovi..

Halo is @12:40 For anyone looking for it. Warning disappointing

[@reallybigmistake]

you should make a video on the Gizmondo hardware

[@charitowexler6238]

What is the soundtrack at 12:20 where did you get it? I know it’s from Fastlane Street Racing draft but how did you get it?

[@Jenovi]

Recorded it from the game cart.

[@charitowexler6238]

@@Jenovi game cart?

[@michaels9917]

Wondering if its worthwhile to make a video on EA sport games across all the consoles? I was always puzzled as to why the Genesis versions of the popular sports franchises were always better (at least to me).

[@Jenovi]

I'm certainly interested in doing more sports game videos, but maybe not EA exclusive.

[@ishowspppd7494]

Gizmondo Bet so relevant today since most states allowing online betting 😂 damn 17 years too late Tiger.

[@jcaseyjones2829]

G- Guru Larry?

[@youdontknowme08001]

Mad I had one of these things but the AC port broke

[@Gorilla_Jones]

This was a fantastic piece. Also, Gizmondo is one of the dumbest farking names I’ve ever heard. Doomed to failure based only on that.

[@Jenovi]

I sure do love the system though, even if the name is questionable.
