Brave enough to mention Donkey Kong Classics..that's Scott for ya. Edited by Sam Essig and Scott Wozniak Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
We all traded in games we had no business trading in as children 😂. You’d be lucky to have gamers as parents. Lucky for my kids if physical media makes a resurgence I will not be letting them trade in games .
@@justjordan2478 true. Me and my dad knew something was up when Gamestop gave us like $10 instead of the normal $2, but I guess there must have been some other game younger me thought was worth it lol.
Especially because people were selling the physical version for top dollar before the WiiU release. I remember seeing listings upwards of 90 dollars for it.
Fun Fact: If you remove the disc for Super Mario All-Stars on the Wii, the game can still be played fully due to the game size being small enough to be held by the RAM of the Wii!
I just went back and forth a few times and it really does seem like it's the same guy talking... You might be onto something here. Wonder if people know?
Scott: "I'm not gonna spend too long on this one," Also Scott: *Proceeds to go on a 30-minute rant about the ins and outs of Super Mario 3D All Stars for the 8th time this month
Fun fact about the Zelda Collector's Edition - it was the first time you could play the games in PAL regions at 60hz. Normally games _from_ PAL regions get speed-adjusted for export (like the WipEout series), but for some reason, many Japanese companies didn't bother to do it the other way. It definitely mattered to them though, as Capcom would speed adjust games like Test Drive 5 to run at the correct speed when importing. Anyway, I still have my copy from way back when. I got it at Toys R Us in a bundle with Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon Box, the GBA cable, Monster Jam, Scorpion King and the Zelda set. It also came with a really sweet bag to hold it all in! It was also like, £100 or £120. Toys R Us was like that sometimes. I remember them having N64s for £99, but the games were £63,99 (initially...). Funny, because they cost that much now, yet people are more prepared to pay for them at the price, even including inflation. Seems like a racket to me.
@@severeerror52 That's not true. Most games would show a 50 or 60 Hz prompt when you started them. A few games (like the Mario Party games) would exclusively run in 50 Hz mode and a few games (like Metroid Prime 2) only supported 60 Hz mode. If a game only supported 60 Hz mode it would get a big red "60 Hz only" mark on the box cover to indicate this. The Wii includes a 50 Hz option in the menu, though I don't know how it affected the software. Since the Wii U has backwards compatibility with the Wii, I'd assume it has a 50 Hz option as well but I can't remember.
A great thing about the Kirby Collection is that it has Kirby's Dreamland 3 front the SNES, which was super expensive on physical media. If you want all the main line Kirby games on physical media, this was the thing to get.
Dream Land 3 never released in Europe until the Wii Virtual Console, so it was the first european physical release of that game edit: forgot Dream Collection wasn't in europe lol
@@usermcskull4713 that sucks. It makes sense, though. Dreamland 3 was one of the last games made for the SNES. Did you guys get Street Fighter Alpha 2? That was also a super late SNES game.
You don’t have to beat Advance Wars 1 to unlock 2, but there is a little warning message if you try to play 2 first that says it recommends completing 1 before going into it due to story and gameplay continuations
@@DontuseMyRealNameYTplz1425 ^ So much this. I was called poor for saying the Super Mario RPG was not worth $60. Thing is I enjoyed it, but didn't think it warranted full price.
@tybraker27 yes it did. It was a full blown remake. Not a re-release. Not a remaster. It was worth every penny of the 60. Wanting it for under full price is entitlement
@@bmac2814 it's still full retail price for a goddamn snes game from 1996... metroid prime remastered looks so good it might as well be a full blown remake, and it was 40 dude -_-
The Wii U digital rerelease of the Metroid Prime Trilogy is the most insane Nintendo deal of all time. The best versions of three of the best games ever made... for under £20.
so weird how all major nintendo controllerd work on switch except the wiimote despite all the wii/wii u ports that could benefit from it and it already being wireless
I am so happy to see that Scott bought Advance wars 1+2 reboot camp. To answer his question, you don'T actually need to beat the first game to play the second. In fact, they will tell you that you can unlock it right now, but it may spoil the end of the first game since the main badguy is show at the very beginning of the second game. Now if only Nintendo could finally patch some of the massive issue in the game that are still present more than a year after...
lol they put that Wind Waker demo and the short video on the Collector's Disc just to fill the extra space on the disc more than likely. All those games took up only a fraction of the disc's capacity.
Isn’t it crazy that they didn’t include The Pie Factory in DK for NES because of cartridge limitations, then just added DK Jr. to the cart years later.
Another way to get that Zelda Collector's Edition Promotional disc was to fill out a form from a Nintendo Power issue, which is how I got mine. Didn't know it was also a part of a Gamecube bundle.
100% yes! I feel like every other version that came afterwards (or even before) has been disappointing because this one set the bar so high. It's got the hints of mystery and folklore the original melody brings to the table, but the arrangement makes it exciting and adventurous. The worst one for me is the Link to the Past version which seems withheld and stoic. This version is definitely the one that goes all out. Links Awakening is a close second followed by the original Zelda
My favorite scenes for this episode, it was... "Super Mario All-Stars" 2:15 "The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition" 7:19 "Kirby's Dream Collection." 10:24 "Super Mario 3D All-Stars" 15:22 and "Metroid Prime Trilogy"29:03
I know 3D All Stars isn't great but I will defend it for these 3 points: It was the first time some of the cutscene music in Sunshine was released isolated from sound effects and speech First time the Shindou version of 64 was released in English Sunshine's widescreen is still more polished than any fanmade widescreen solution for Sunshine (at least that I'm aware of)
It's still a crappy re-release, made worse by the fact that Nintendo went hard with FOMO for it to drive up sales. And made even worse by the fact it has no Galaxy 2.
I’m still annoyed that they never re-released the Super Mario Bros or Zelda Game & Watch games. They had the perfect opportunities when both franchises got the modern Game & Watch handhelds, but no, fuck us I guess.
5:09 Not sure if Scott gonna read this, but Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World did get a full retail release in Europe and Brazil (by Playtronic).
I loved the Zelda collection for the GameCube. As a kid I used to think the WW demo was time based instead of progress based so I tried to get as far as I could as fast as I could then realized it ended at the same spot every time.
Imteresting note about the Wii Sports + Resort combo disc: the two save files it makes for each game are different from the save files the two discs make. In other words, you can't use the same save data for your Wii Sports disc as you can with your Wii Sports + Resort Combo Disc's Wii Sports mode.
Shoutout to dream collection for all its bonus content including brand new rtdl challenge stages and establishing Obama as part of the Kirby canon and Metroid prime trilogy on wii u being 20 dollars and being an amazing collection (I’m actually playing through prime 2 on trilogy)
*The Legend of Zelda Collection* is the title used in Japan. They also had a *Super Mario Collection* instead of "All-Stars", and *Kirby of the Stars 20th Anniversary Special Collection*. They really just told you what it was in Japan. No possible confusion that way.
It's sad to hear that the NES/SNES classics sit on most people's shelves. In my house, both consoles get regular use. My dad relives his childhood regularly with the NES classic and I get to experience games of old on the SNES Classic (with save states XD). I absolutely love these little consoles and wish there were more releases like an N64, GCN, Wii, GB, GBC, VB, GBA, DS, DSi, 3DS, or 'N'3DS
I wouldn't roll my eyes over the mario sfx off the music cd. Do you know how much power you weild as a video editor when you have the official sounds straight from nintendo?
Nintendo Puzzle Collection is a very interesting release by itself. Yoshi Cookie is a remake from the SNES version, Panel de Pon is a cancelled N64 game, Dr. Mario 64 never released in Japan and the game itself never released outside of Japan, even with the game had been shown at 2003 E3.
also note, the steel book case version of metroid prime trilogy came with this little fold out paper that on one side showed a bunch of concept art, and on the other provided a summary of the trilogy.
I can’t quite put into words how nostalgic seeing the Kirby’s collection is for me. I remember struggling to beat the challenge levels as a 10 yo at my friends house
Re: Zelda Collector's Edition, the port of Majora's Mask was prone to crashing at random, and the sound jutters a bit when moving between areas. It was my first time playing through MM, and the tension from the constant threat of crashing was real.
I don’t know why, but for some reason I really wanted that Puzzles & Dragons game when I was younger. It was literally one of my most wanted games when when it released in the US.
Nintendo compilations are so rare that Scott is already showing all of the major ones through history on the video's intro. ...I really wish they did more.
Easy or hard, i dont wanna emulate because it just wouldnt feel right. These games were meant to be played on Nintendo consoles, not on a computer with an Xbox controller. Gotta keep the console spirit alive, man.
Emulation aways runs easily for me on PC, but like, connecting those controllers can actually be pretty annoying for some reason. Also downloading roms online is piracy, (I'd totally never ever do such a thing, never, totally) so official releases are definitely appreciated.
usually i use scott stash as some sort of comfort food to watch after i have a night terror, but this time i was watching scott the waz IN the night terror itself, so now i donno what to fkn do
I remember as a kid seeing the cover of Super Mario All-Stars on the cartridge and not realizing it was actually a collection of older games. Instead because of Mario's suit I assumed this was like a circus themed Mario game with tons of different power-ups and characters across the series. It was still really cool to play them though, and was how I found out that the Super Mario Advance games were themselves also rereleases of older titles after realizing they had some of the same games as in this collection.
I mostly play PC and emulate on my Vita but you’re so right about connecting a bluetooth controller to a PC. It’s such a headache for absolutely no reason
Shame we never got the Kirby collection in Europe for a system with a region lock. Glad that the game's ISO file still found the way to my Wii's harddrive. The new challenge stages are a great bonus.
If I recall I got the Zelda collection from preordering windwaker or something like that. There was different ways to get it other than it coming with some gamecubes, because I do for sure recall not buying a 2nd gamecube at the time.
Metroid Prime Trilogy has to be my favorite Nintendo collection to this day. I mean, you have three amazing games all bundled together, two of which are given new motion controls and that you hop in and out of at anytime. I was more than glad to find a copy at GameStop while I was still, and while Metroid Prime Remastered is amazing on its own, I hope Prime 2 and 3 eventually get brought to Switch on their own. Though one collection I’m still crossing my fingers happens is a double pack of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Being that they’d both WiiU ports, and I can’t see Nintendo releasing them individually. Then again, they rereleased Luigi’s Mansion 2 and DKC Returns for full price, so what do I know?
It’s crazy Pokémon never does this EVER like I can’t even think of anything coming close to this. Cuz not even the 3rd version of the games from back in the day, like Emerald or Platinum, felt like a compilation, more like a COMBINATION.
Dang Panel DE Pon would have been my jam. At least it's referenced in Animal Crossing New Leaf as the mini game Puzzle League and the dress up items you can earn while meeting certain goals when playing it
Nintendo has the made best video game compilations, I love Zelda Anniversary collection on GameCube, Kirby collection, Super Mario All Stars on SNES, but I wish they made it on the DS instead of the Wii, since All Stars was redundant since you can already play all four NES games on the Wii virtual console. The DS would’ve been more appropriate since you’re playing classic Mario games on the go!
