Nearly 4 HOURS of Nintendo's most unhinged development stories to help you sleep 

The story of how Metroid prime was made is absolutely insane. I’m not sure that any games development will ever top it.

thank god new sleep aid just dropped

I wonder how much of this will be relevant for Metroid Prime 4, when ever it gets finished.

Is that a mothafuckin SCOTT THE WOZ REFERENCE

Shigeru “Pookie” Miyamoto

I smashed that like button faster than a Florida recount

Never played Conker Bad Fur Day, but do enjoy watching other people play it due how gruesome and out of nowhere it can get.

Know what I'm watching when I go to bed tonight.

Glad Matt gave me yet another vid I can add to my sleeping video playlist.

I just love how Nintendo felt hesitant about releasing disaster, while their digital shop has always been filled with dumpsterfire.

Putting the thirst trap in the thumbnail was a smart play.

I dont know why, but hearing Ol' Matthew getting royally pissed about MonolithSoft not being a U.S. based games maker is funnier than it has any right to be. 😂😂😅

I gotta like it for the pro-wrestling references.

3 hours!!!! Let's go!!!!!!

That Spyro flying bug got me lol. If I was the dev discovering that he just sometimes stops animating and flips upside-down staring into my soul.. I would've needed a nap immediately..blurg.

Odd ive just been rewatching all the What happened and the worst Fighting game compilations while at work and now this drops. Thank you

I always thought Disaster:DOC was outright canceled, I never knew it released!

Sorry I was thinking of the WWF tag team of the Natural Disasters Typhoon and Earthquake.

3 hrs?! Idk if I have the brain muscle to retain this, but i'll give it my all this morning!

Watching this makes me remember when kotaku actually covered video game news. LOL

Shout out to ScottTheWoz. Him and Matt McMuscles are two of the funniest video gaming channels on this platform.

And here I was hoping Matt would somehow d0 a video about Neil Breen this week...

Starfox Assault was the right step to progress the series... but sadly the controls are cluncky and on foot missions were just the multiplayer maps re-used. But it had the right idea.

In Nintendo's defense, they were right about DVDs, they were just off by a decade.

Happy 4/20 to us! 😊

Nintendo manages to capture lightning in a bottle every 10 to 15 years. Wii and Swith are an example. Edit: Switch

1:15 bro I had to look up the name to Make sure I had it right after all these years

Bro is gonna need to do a what happened on Rugby 2024 which has somehow been delayed by over 6 months despite being a yearly sports game release

Some sick madman is going to port Devil's Third to the Switch purely out of spite

considering how long we've been waiting for any kind of actual proper reveal or announcement of the damn thing, i'm eagerly awaiting the future episode about the Switch 2.

8:48 i thought that was a screenshot of the game matt was talking about and was confused about how mr "im gonna eat a whole watermelon" ties into xenosaga and xenoblade LMAO

Thanks!

The amount, and quality, of the content you make impresses me. I love all of it.

Woo! Thanks Matt. I got a pretty long shift tonight. I need the background noise

Hey Matt I love these mega compilations and appreciate them since I listen to them at work!

I appreciate videos like this more than anything omg

As a mvs youtuber u finally said what ive been thinkong

Bro I love this video and watched it in its entirety but RU-vid keeps auto playing it randomly throughout the months 😅

Thanks for the marathon edit 🍻

I know what I'm listening to at work tonight.

I've seen jason use Air down special into dodge cancel jump to launch fast across the 1s version steven universe stage, and idk it was patched but Jason's perk that allows him to spawn behind allowed him to down air special as launcher into dodge cancel into ground jump up air into side special as the tracker into dodge cancel neutral special killing agent smith at 39 off the top on the rick and morty stage.

LETS GOOO Ive been waiting for this one!!

28:45 - my brain only heard the lyrics of that song….

23:02 ... Get's me everytime haha

this video is better than xanax

A welcome 420 surprise. Thanks!

dont take this the long way ur voice and ur deep dives...put me to sleep lol...best way posssible its 100% a compliment

Itd be cool to see a great 3rd person Metroid game.

I’m in awe of this video.

I was going to skip through to find the one I haven't watched but I watched them all already lol. Hey just wondering if you ever looked into an old Ubisoft game called "I Am Alive" might fit well with the current Fallout excitement and popularity as an overlooked game set in post apocalyptic world. The game really felt like it suddenly had it's release date pushed up and they cut massive amounts to push it out. Was wondering if you had any sources on it to better explain the proverbial "What Happened"

How the HELL did I not notice you used Razor Ramon HG footage in the Devil’s Third video?

1:49:25 I hear that SA2 soundtrack in there. Loved that game. 🤘

1:01:51 STAMP out more collectables!

Very interesting topic. Back in the early 2000s I meet a guy at some hiphop event in Germany who was working for Nintendo of Europe in Frankfurt. He was responsible for the German translations for games like Metroid Prime etc. And he told me a thing or two about the Nintendo - Rare relationship and the development of StarFox Adventures. Still liked the game, just the Arwing sections were quite a let down. Hope they soon bring back the (space shooter) series...

3:19:45 Oh god, the R-Zone...mine was so ghetto that like the AVGN's, I lost that little plastic flip down reflector/magnifier, so it was a lot of fun basically playing a harsh red Tiger game...on a screen that was about 2x2 inches...and all the controller buttons were on see-saw switches (A connected to B, X connected to Y)...WTF? so the corner of the face buttons would dig into your finger if you tried to do a slide press...if it weren't for the Scannerz line's stupid loading times, I'd say R-zone is the worst... At least there was something a bit closer to actual "pixels" playing "Megaman" on my TI-87/89+ (that I could play in science and math class, lol)...and the only reason I remember that is because one of the only 4 robot masters was...Cash Man...who was literally a dollar sign...apparently a fan game brought him back in 2018...but I'm talking about a game I played in high school in 2000-03...I met a dude super into early emu...I think he was Korean, named James. Sat beside me in "Typing" class (Win98), and he somehow basically put a GB Megaman game on my graphing calculator (which, if you ever tried to find slopes or curves, a "Premium" graphing calculator has only a slightly lower res. and actually more ram and available storage overall than a GameBoy) but that's just echoing it's creator's mantra (Gunpei Yokoi)..."Think about re-purposing what you have before creating something entirely new." So, he used an under-powered calculator processor, tweaked the display to be smoother, though green...and added on the modular capability of insert-able disks... ...does anyone else remember the calculator Megaman game?

Every time i see that intro, I know I'm in for a good time

Will there Be a What Happened Dnf Duel episode

Body harvest was my life

Thank you and good night!

I absolutely loved star fox adventures

If Scott the Woz ever gets cancelled, this thumbnail is gonna be extra funny

That DBZ Final Bout music 🎶 👍

I'm using this to help me work instead of sleep. Is that allowed?

I wanna see a Flophouse Files

Bro I don’t even know how I ended up here but it’s now morning and the video is at 3:05:00 😭😭???? I never clicked on this

Damn. people use this to sleep? I love finding out stuff I don't know. I watched the 9+ hour Mega Man Lore Video from that one guy like a dozen times. Matt is my new favorite. 1:08:45 And yes They should have dumped the Cache after a number of items CAME an LEFT the screen. The mem-pack wasn't really needed "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”" - Palpatine.

Hey, y'all! Greasy Content Lord here!

Can't wait for the enviable Metroid Prime 4 episode!

Batocera for your Linux distro for testing retro games

Wait is it not bandi namco? Wtf my brain jut tripped

3 hours!? Damn

Man, still can’t believe how Microsoft just demolished Rare. They were regarded as one of the top devs of their time and then Microsoft buys them just to have them make shitty Kinect games

oh yeah new mat :3

This Disaster game doesn't look that bad, on metacritic this game have 69 ( nice ) out of 100.

I have both Project X games for the 3DS & they're not brilliant but they're fun.

Surprised you haven't done a Wha Happun on the Virtual Boy or F-Zero GP Legend yet?

Conkers bad fur day was a Mature game and I don't blame Toy stores not stocking it. I would've looked at someone sideways too trying to drop off mature content to a kids toy store. Now Nintendo Power that is messed up. How can a company make you an exclusive and you don't even bother to put it in your major magazine. Nintendo did a disservice to them for that. Rare showed brand loyalty to them and Nintendo slapped them in the face with that. Shows why they lost so much good will with 3rd party developers.

2:31:06 Matt uses any sources he can. ... ANY sources

1:45:51 song name ?

We still need scarlet and violet wha happun

Star Fox Zero having an intentional learning curve, yeah fancy way of saying the controls were mutilated

01:01:05 THAT WASN'T VERY GO TO SLEEP OF YOU

I think Simmons (from Yovideogames) said it right when he mentioned about how Nintendo sometimes struggles in their gaming department. Now what he means is that when Nintendo is having difficulty they put a lot more effort into their games but when there’s very successful they’re kind of like slow on the draw. When you look at the Wii U as an example about their development history there were several good games on that system that did work for them but they never put a lot of effort when the NexGen console is around the corner

@1:41:19 the guy on the left looks like an Asian John Lithgow.

Can I just say that, you almost never mention a Nintendo game in what happened. Until now.

WHERE MUH WHUHHAPPLUSHIE AT??

What RPG is that at 3:55?

If it weren't for Asrejarte Kingdom Hearts (Oh Mi No Gai Nah) and it's copyright hell, and the current work ethics in gaming in general, gaming would be much better off without the Fabled Console Wars.

❤❤❤

Transformers war for Cybertron on the Wii that was horrible

Nintendo going to GameCube is so silly to make proprietary disk. Couldn't even store them in cd cases like you could with your Playstation games. Just made it a pain in the a** to store games. I find it interesting they didn't just have Sakimoto on the team with the Metroid games. Instead they for some reason thought it was a good idea to have multiple ongoing Metroid games being developed.

Wahoo im early >w

It's really wild how clueless this company is sometimes and yet how unfathomably lucky they've been when other companies (cough sega cough) made a couple small mistakes and got absolutely yeeted out of the console industry.

Part of Wii U downfall I feel also had to do with how fed up people where with gimmicks at that point. After the Wii's success everyone was scrambling for a piece of the pie just like when Battle Royales first took off. However after some questionable games where release from well known series that where bogged down by gimmicks like skyward sword, and just "experiences" being sold on PlayStation move and Xbox Kinect. People didn't have any good faith in the direction of gimmicks unless it was a hand held. Thats why DS was ok but when it came to a console people wanted something that would get a game that would only rely on good gameplay using a basic controller.

Ah, good ole Babyroid: Other Baby! Wherein beloved Samus fell into the same trap that game developers put Lara Croft and Aya Brea into: our heroines need to be "vulnerable", whimpering children! I'm sure everyone of every sex and gender won't absolutely hate that! Should me maybe have a woman write the characters? Hell no! Thank God that developer trend passed quickly. Prequels to anything present an inescapable problem; it is never going to match up to the speculation fans have formed in their heads. It shears away the mystery and intrigue. It doesn't just not satisfy everyone; it doesn't satisfy anyone. Take Darth Vader, for example. We knew he was a badass, evil space wizard. When you have him whine a lot as a teenager and then murder a bunch of toddlers, well, yeah that's super evil. But it isn't badass! And now everyone hates you for it. A prequel will never match up to the expectations of anyone but the person writing it.

What happened to Nintendo? Why are they such Greedy Bullies
