Game Updates Without the Internet 

That's actually really interesting. I vaguely remember hearing about it, but I forgot it was from Skyward Sword. I'll definitely look into it more for a potential Part 3 of this series.

I don't see why that would be a popular glitch, though

@@kricku I think they mean it was common to find it.

@@zoodakberg I could be wrong, but I think that DLC for those games was handled differently from other consoles. All of that DLC was on-disc and it was *really* easy to fake. Any checks made to see if you owned that content was made entirely on the user's end, not on the server's end, so you could just use mods that could unlock that stuff no problem. At least that's my understanding, I remember hearing this from some friends that were big into Guitar Hero.

Wii did have DLC support, but all the downloadable files (including WiiWare games) were limited to a measly 30 MB. The size limit was so strict that, in most cases, releasing DLCs and patches for Wii games was not worth the effort.

Yeah seems like it

Probably that and probably that Tyson wanted/wants a fuckton of dollars for it. Just not worth it honestly.

Im still mad about taco man

He was no longer the world heavyweight champion at the time the license expired, so Nintendo decided to just not renew it. Funny seeing you here though, sam!

@@jknifgijdfui Your mad about what? That he made tons of episodes you enjoyed?

Nonconsensual "shenanigans" that put him in jail. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@DoktorWilhelmoh that silly rascal

​@@DoktorWilhelm Do You have Proof or do You Just Hate Black People?

​@@DoktorWilhelmhe did a little trolling

Yeah, that's exactly why they dropped him. It had nothing to do with "Didn't want to pay to renew the contract". Dude in the video doesn't know what he's talking about

Fun fact: the "Berry Program" doesn't update the game. It simply changes the RTC (real-time clock) to 02/01/2002.

Yeah, definitely. Stuff like the KH Final Mix games have very well documented differences from the original versions, but more subtle updates are less known widely online.

@@kirotalksyt also, I'd say expansion packs are the early form of DLC

A big example that comes to mind is Midnight Club 3. The Greatest Hits release was called Remix and had a TON of new content. Dozens of new cars, new events, an entire new city map, new music, etc. You could even import your original save so you wouldn't have to start over. It was basically an expansion.

@@VexAcer Woohoo! That's the copy I own, though it is still sealed and backlogs are real. Second entry was really good for it's time...

Persona still hasn't given up on this tradition, and it took Pokémon until 2020 to abandon it in favor of DLC.

i'd say that goes way more for the free content updates than the paid stuff, but it is increasingly common now

So you would rather spend money on a box than get free content ?

@@Treeko55 what was the last free content have you recieved that you would've paid for?

"Hmm? I wonder how many updates of Street Fighter there is? Let's check" "How about another update right now for good measure!"

Even though I am pro preservation, I think keeping game breaking glitches arent a part of the experience that it is supposed to be preserved, actually in many cases these glitches can prevent the user from safely enjoying the game. I loved Pandoras Tower on Wii but it was frustrating that I encountered a game breaking bug and never got the courage to beat the game again because of it

@@lordeilluminati That's a fair point

There are berry glitch version roms along with the fixed versions way back then when running these games in an emulator needed a "beefy" PC. Dunno now. But preserving everything nowadays is nigh impossible. Just look at how often games update and the sheer number of them. People used to try to "archive" each version of games by separating each update files but they've all pretty much given up now. The most active archives you'll see nowadays don't even have the latest versions, because just keeping up and updating every game is already a lot, let alone keeping archives of updates too.

Shoutout to all the OGs

It is a standard practice in Japan since a large percentage of the population is elderly and they typically do not update to new technology as long as the old existing equipment is working. The Famicom was still supported by Nintendo even decades after the last game came out and they only stopped recently once repair parts ran out.

​@@zero9112 that moght be the reason why some japanese sites look really ugly by todays standards

@@xadek821 like?

@@xadek821 They aren't ugly. They're just focused on usability and presentation of information instead of being bloated javascript nightmares.

Now if only their legal department could tone it down with the constant DMCAs as of late... Never seen a company so spiteful that people want to play their older catalog.

street fighter 2 was the first game of the franchise

I found out years later that there was a CPS2 version of that game, after I saw it on the PlayStation 2.

Thanks, I greatly appreciate the support. 100k would be nice!

You will have to reapply the patch if the battery dies or if it is replaced. This is because every time that you save, the save file has a timestamp of the RTC calendar. When the battery is replaced the RTC is reset to 0 but the RTC timestamp written in the save file is not.

@@zero9112 Thanks for the explanation zero.

It's kinda funny to me that they still advertised the uncut cutscenes on the back of the box but apparently the localizers didn't get the memo. The way Capcom remedied this was by having the uncensored scenes on their website... in 1997, 240p, dial-up internet glory.

It wouldn't be until Ultra Street Fighter II where U.S.S.R. is finally renamed to Russia.

The announcer says the country names, so maybe they could have done it for Super when they changed announcers.

Let's talk about the original game itself. Even though the second half of the game wasn't supposed to be DLC in the first place, they had to split the game apart not only due to time constraints, but due to a stupid deal with McDonald's, as well as the cartridge being a whole hell of a lot more expensive if they put the entire game together. But 9-year-old me didn't know that until Sonic & Knuckles came out several months later, and my mom wouldn't buy it for me because she just bought me that game. Lol. I didn't even find out until I was an adult, that Sonic 3 & Knuckles was only supposed to be one game. And it's for this reason that I will only refer to it as Sonic 3, because both games split apart just aren't as fulfilling.

Yeah, especially if you shelled out the money for one of the console ports.

I remember a letter to the editor in a gaming magazine where someone was transported years into the future and the game had like 20+ words in its title. They weren’t that far off.

Stole his whole flow 😂

Did you not hear what was said at 7:25?

Was that when he said "spastic"? Because in the US that isn't a slur at all. It's a mild insult but not a slur.

@@BJGvideos That's why I specifically mentioned the UK. It was a major insult to the disabled in the region.

@@ZTimeGamingYT it's funny how language works. It's got nothing to do with disability in the US. I wonder how that split happened

@@BJGvideos To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. I'll have to do more research.

I guess I wish the third versions took a bit more risks and included more stuff. I liked how Pokemon Yellow gave you a completely different starter from the originals and I also enjoyed how Emerald gave the protagonists new designs. Platinum did something pretty cool where it changed the Gym order. If Pokemon did more stuff like that with the third versions and added a ton more content I'd be all for it.

@@kirotalksyt yeah pokemon yellow felt like playing in the pokemon anime. It even had gym leader teams, NPC names, and dialogue straight out of the anime. It's a shame they didn't really repeat this idea again.

Yeah he had some assault charges

Mike Tyson got sentenced in 1991, and they rebranded and re-released Punch Out in 1990. Literally the moment that Nintendo heard the rumors they abandoned ship immediately.

It’s definitely up there!

In Mario 2 the place is called Subspace, not Dreamland

@@BJGvideos all of the enemies our enemies of the Dreamworld at the end of the game Mario wakes up

@@puddingninja Yes but it was called Subspace. That's the name used for the dream location. Oh no wait I'm wrong, it was Subcon. As in subconscious.

Galaxy 2 was even internally named: Super Mario Galaxy - More.
