I know how solar panels work, but solar panels and light sensors usually react to any kind of light which is bright enough. If you've ever used a solar powered calculator then you probably noticed that they work perfectly fine with atrificial light. I may have worded my comment in a confusing way, but I was just wondering if the sensor just detected light in general like most of them, or if it was actually designed in such a way that it reacts (almost) exclusively to sunlight.

If you you want to go REALY retro, theres the Starpath Supercharger for the Atari 2600. While not a game itself, you connected a tape deck to it and loaded up games the company produced on audio cassettes (which was a common form of data storage for computers of that time.) While the games themselves were very impressive for the 2600 due to the Superchargers additional RAM/ROM (including a very faithful recreation of Frogger that outperformed the cart version) other companies were very hesitant to publish games for it as piracy was extremely easy and the product ultimately failed. MP3s of the games can be found on the internet if you are able to find one of these carts (I got one on ebay for pretty cheap)

@flatfingertuning727 5 лет назад

There was an authorized release of the cartridges on CD a bit over a decade ago, entitled IIRC "Stella's Got a New Brain". The disk contains the information both as audio (allowing use of a portable CD player) and as computer data (allowing the use of a program to load data). The original developers, according to what I read, used an Apple II's cassette port with suitable software to load games onto their cartridges during development. BTW, piracy could have been made more difficult by including a player with the Starpath and having it calibrated to work with frequencies beyond what most cassette recorders could copy.

@PhirePhlame 5 лет назад

I've seen action games use dial-up multiplay before (see Virtual-ON Netlink, which allows the player to choose between the central server or a straight P2P link via directly dialing the other player; three guesses which one can still be used today). My guess is some synchronization algorithms and shaving the signals to their bare essentials, such as only transmitting what buttons are being pressed, is what allowed it to work. Although, analog phone systems are less latent than many digital solutions, from what I've heard.

@kirswords8587 5 лет назад

I have been a gamer for about 30 years, and I have NEVER heard of Boktai before this video. The sunlight mechanic absolutely blew my mind, so fascinating!

@ViviSectia 5 лет назад

Really? I remember it being advertised pretty heavily around the time it came out. Nintendo Power even had a contest where the winner would get a trip to Hawaii along with the game so they could take full advantage of the sunlight feature though I'm pretty sure that must have been a pretty disappointing trip for whoever won since too much sun caused the gun to overheat ingame.

The 2nd boktai is far superior to the first one, with it giving you options should there be no sunlight. In thev1st one, when the sun goes down your pretty much boned, although with the first one you can customize the Gun del Sol, the second one its just a shooter that fires depending on your current enchantment (but it does charge shots). Theres major differences between the two, with b2 basically being better, and the puzzles were GLORIOUS!

@bluelightnight 5 лет назад

The light sensor in Boktai is actually a UV light sensor. So literally you "have" to use actual sunlight. (Or black light. Or in my case a plasma globe. You know, those glass spheres that make purple lightning that is attracted to your fingers when you touch it. Turns out they put out a lot of uv. After the novelty was over I just switched to my game shark...) Anyway, the problem with it trying to force you to use real sunlight by only reacting to UV is that nearly ALL windows are designed to filter out and block UV. So you actually had to go outside. Back the day when the game was first released I was on a gaming forum chatting about the game. A girl posted that she had been playing the game while holding her GBA out a window and.... accidently sun-burned her thumbs lol

@RyGuyS176 5 лет назад

Some constructive criticism, you really didn't show a lot of the cartridges you talked about. We got a very blurry picture of the Star Gazing game for DS, but no pictures of WarioWare Twisted, Kirby Tilt n Tumble. Thankfully you did show off the Boktai, Shouji, and RoboPon carts.

That's less of a gimmick and more just how CD formats work. Mixed-mode CDs have the data track first, followed by redbook audio tracks. It's the same for PC and Sega CD and all the other CD systems.

Just a couple interesting FYIs - Hudson did a whole bunch with IR built into cartridges and unique game functions; look into the HuC-1 and how it influenced the built-in IR function on the GBC. in fact, that's why some emulators can handle things like Pokemon G/S/C Mystery Gift or TCG1/2 Card Pop, but only from the Japanese games. The other interesting thing is that emulator authors took longer to crack the GBC & GBA RTC (Real-Time Clock) function found in, again, Pokemon than they did Boktai's solar charger. Oh, and one other thing; when you talk about Robopon and Hudson, consider mentioning that they were best known for the Bomberman and Bonk series; and that Atlus is connected to Shin Megami Tensei and its spinoffs.

@PokeMaster22222 5 лет назад

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, had infrared technology built into the cartridges, from memory - for HGSS, it was to communicate with the Pokéwalker, and BW and BW2, it was to trade with each other and stuff without using local wireless. They did this because the DS line lacked native infrared, so they had to push it into the cartridge.

There was also a weird genesis cartride wich did had 2 controller inputs, other obscure nes & snes cartrides did had a cartride input to bypass the lockout chip.

GB KISS was used with plenty of other Gameboy games. They're all Japan only, though. They didn't look like Robopon though since they didn't include a speaker they're just normal shaped carts with a super dark transparent purple color.

0:14 I c wut U did thar. And I'm so glad I bought a copy of the first Boktai back when it was new! I'll have to try playing it again... I was too young to appreciate it at the time, so I've gone through very little of it.

Regarding the IR sensor feature, I was about to bring up the Bomberman Max games for GBC. Then I looked again, and it turns out the GBC actually has its own IR sensor, used by Bomberman and a couple other games. Robopon is actually unique in having the sensor built into the cart itself. Guess this video taught me something else!

Regarding rumble, for what it's worth, my primary sense is touch (rather than sight or sound), so I tend to like haptic feedback. It's not necessary, to be sure, but it's a nice feature for some of us.

Just watched your video dude, I agree with No. 1, it's actually my all time favorite gba series, and at some point I'm gonna get them all including Lunar Knights. It was a genius idea for it's time, and I'd like to see it come back in some form.

Enormous Boktai fan here, thanks for pimping out an otherwise somewhat obscure title, it deserves more recognition than it ended up getting when it released. ;P

Dance Dance Revolution 2nd ReMix in Japan featured two additional "append" expansions that would alter the song list of the former. They're usually known as 2nd Append Club v1 and Club v2. To use them, you had to boot up 2nd ReMix, and use the Disc Change feature, and then insert the Append you wanted to play. If you wanted to switch, you had to relaunch 2nd ReMix and do the disc swap again. Also, all the Japanese versions of DDR featured an unlock key for the prior game. All you had to do was create a save file for the prior game (e.g. create a save file in third mix and then go into 4th mix), go to Memory Card, and then User Support. The game would check for the appropriate save file, prompt to overwrite, and then unlock everything in the game. This was especially handy for games like DDR Str!ke (Extreme 2 in the US), DDR Supernova, and DDR Supernova 2. Those games could only unlock new songs by playing a "Dance Master Mode," which was an abysmally boring story mode that forced you to play songs on the easiest difficulty. Even if you could clear Oni charts. Ugh... Sadly, this feature never showed up on US mixes. Much to my chagrin...

I'm sure somebody has probably said it already but you didn't seem to know about Boktai 3 which only released in Japan and still had a crossover in Megaman Battle Network 6, though it was removed from the English release. Surprisingly though it's still coded in the game and some pieces of it work.

Number 4 Hoshizora Navi is claimed in this video to have "accelerometers" however I think that measuring only accelleration would make absolute orientation tracking to find stars and constellations in the actual sky these would be next to useless. More likely it has a magnetometer / hall sensor and maybe a gyro for orientation.

Robopon does have an okay story, and even lets you replace the internal battery easily.

@angelemmanuelperezmuniz1474 5 лет назад

Boktai got a Japan exclusive being the third game. I played a rom in my computer because it was the only way I could get to play it on a language that I could understand. Any ways is sad that I couldn't get an official release. The game had the stuff I loved the most of the two previous games and improvements. After that Lunar Knights makes a lot more of sense.

@RealmsCrossMyths 5 лет назад

I have one of the Boktai games, and was really hyped when it got connectivity to a MegaMan Battle Network game… I also had Lunar Knights, and was bummed it didn't have built-in solar functionality-since DS systems have a built in clock it could use, where GBA systems did not. Was more bummed to see the art style change. It was still an awesome game though… I wonder what happend to my Lunar Knignts…

@Nam0Ereh0Won 5 лет назад

Kinda surprised y'all didn't mention GBC Perfect Dark during the rumble cart section. Also, Robopon has a battery compartment for a clock with an ALARM that'll alert you when it's time for certain in-game events even if it's not even in your Game Boy!

Boktai for the GBA sounds like a good idea. But with the first iteration/model of the GBA having no back-lit screen would make it very hard to play outside on a bright sunny day.
