15:23 You forgot the minimalist ending, where if you collect as little coins as possible, Wario uses two leaves to flap himself home while panting heavily. It’s great
I'm not even mad, I'm just genuinely amazed at the quality of video capture from a friggin' Virtual Boy. It's like pioneering a new, groundbreaking form of artificial intelligence just so you can use it to catalogue your turds in order of size and color.
Imagine if someone of comparable competence to one of these two had been employed by Nintendo at the time... how different the Virtual Boy could have been. Unless they did have someone of that competence, but that person was booed out by an irritated Shigeru Miyamoto or one of the bad bosses (not Iwata, he was cool afaik) for daring to question their glorious red-and-black eye torture vision.
@@hazukichanx408 it probably wouldn’t be that different. Would probably still be cumbersome, still hard to develop for, and instead of red and black it probably would have been black and white which isn’t that much better back then. The virtual boy itself just sucks as a 90s console
@@_plg Wish the DOOM 64 EX dev could make it compatible with a Xbox controller since I can't play on KB+M for a while, but it's still absolutely awesome.
OMG Civvie, you really got us this time :D Thanks for the excellent and nicely done new video! I just realised that Wario is like Mario, but letter M turned upwards to W. Life is strange. Peace.
10:00 Funny thing about the Virtual Boy's "display": it was actually only a single vertical strip of 224 LEDs for each eye. 1 pixel wide. It took a pair of tiny mirrors vibrating back and forth 50 times per second on a delicate little leaf spring to give it the illusion of any horizontal resolution at all. To be able to draw individual pixels, the LEDs needed to be able to blink on and off at a refresh rate of better than 19,000 hz. So yeah a couple seizures here and there were to be expected.
"The sun will burn out and the Earth will become a cold barren desolate wasteland before that controller isn't a hand-cramping trident of engineering malpractice." That's the hardest I laughed all day.
First I looked at the description, keeping in mind as of when it was posted it, was April 1st and I'm thinking "No Way, Civvie said no brutal doom, so he's either doing Brutal Doom as a joke or something else.' Turned out to be something else. Still, it's a good video. I got to know more about a game I didn't and, well I'm a little more well informed. Good video Civvie.
Good shit. Virtual Boy Warioland had always been a mystery to me as the only good Virtual Boy game and I always liked the Warioland games. I had never seen anyone go in depth until now. Best April fools gift.
Excellent run through of the mechanics of doom in this specific version. Had no idea doom guys bio differed so differently without breaking its point in the story.
Fuck, I remember playing the demo of Descent as a kid and being too scared by the music to actually play it. So instead I dropped myself into a multiplayer map and flew around picking things up and switching weapons because I thought it was a cool flight sim. I was a really dumb kid.
Do you know the legend of the immortal Gameboy? During the first gulf War a soldier brought it with him. After leaving it in the barracks said Barra KS was bombed to shit. The Gameboy was burned beyond recognition. However, when they turned it on, it still played tetris. It has been on ever since, preserved In the Nintendo museum, playing a constant game of tetris
I love this. The background small/dwarf Wario is the best. Also the transformation from big to small and vice versa is actually animated instead of it just flashing, that's kind of impressive.
Never smashed like harder.....Civvie gonna gib everyone. Love your content man, you even made me buy Dusk and its awesome. Keep it up bro........God damn it ciivvvvvvvvveeeeee!!!! Fooled again
So much nostalgia! I remember my friends in primary school playing Wario on GameBoy Color in early 2000s. I also remember warming up AAA batteries in the sun to make a GameBoy run for a few more minutes when playing BomberMan with a friend on a classic GameBoy... Man I'm glad I'm here now. Nostalgia is a liar.
I usually despise the whole "april fools" shit, because most people just do things to annoy you. But we got to watch you play Wario, so that's great. Honestly though, love your videos.
I was referring to the fact Wario goes into the background and appears smaller, like in Sonic Mania's Metallic Madness. The original Sonic CD zone doesn't have that, unless you count the spinning curtain hallways with revolving doors in the middle.
So this is what you've been up to besides Serious Sam. Going the extra mile giving himself eye cancer just for April fools day. Lol whenever I think of the virtual boy I get the Keith Apircary song where he straps a virtual boy to his face and walks around in public, stuck in my head. "Go get that Virtual Boy. That futuristic toy. My eyes will be destroyed with 90's digital joy."
13:40 - 14:11 -- this moment when I was thinking about taking a screenshot and tint it red across highest and lowest brightness spectrum, maybe cranking gamma up or down to perceive the child Civvie's horror. And he provides the experience without a hassle.
I should have suspected. Civvie is too much of a Boomer to play this Brewtal Doom kids nowadays enjoy. Also, I was unfortunate enough to try a Virtual Boy. My eyes haven't been the same since.
Hey Civvie, just became a new subscriber not long ago, and I really appreciate your work! You explain stuff so well and you're really funny! Hope your doing great and thanks for the video!
@@Estupitastico boomer: old zoomer: young boomer: cracks open monster energy drinks and talks about the good ol days of doom and quake zoomer: talks about tiktok and fortnite
@@DanielEhlmann oh it refers to generations then. I thought original Doom and Quake players were Generation X and Millennials like myself. Boomers seem too old and Generation Z too young to know about any of this.
@@Estupitastico Yeah, baby boom was after World War 2: The Sequel, so boomers are 70-something now. Videogames wouldn't exist until 20-25 years later, so that generation is usually not into them. As for Gen Z, AFAICT they're less hung up on graphics than the generations before them, and many of them love oldies like classic Doom. I know a 19yo guy who's even making his own Doom-like.
