What Happens On Your Birthday in Nintendo Games? 

fun fact! In pokemon scarlet and violet, when its your birthday, if you catch a pokemon it will have a special mark called the destiny mark

When the gen 4 pokemon message came up and Lucas said "I'm glad we're friends," it made me think that there were probably kids who played that game and saw that message on their birthday, and maybe it made them feel good because they didn't have any other friends. But Lucas was their friend, and he wished them a happy birthday

Litterally, Tomodachi Life is the one thing that makes birthdays really worth to see...

If I’m being honest, I love when people share about there childhood it’s just so Heartwarming

I initially thought it was a little macabre that Scarlet/Violet chose a Ghost-type to display on the screen for your birthday, but they probably just figured, "oh, it's got a candle on its head, it's appropriate for birthdays".

What's really sweet about this is the idea that (though of course one doesn't necessarily mean the other), if you're lonely or down on your luck or whatever, video games are a pretty likely place someone would go to pass the time on their birthday. So, to then have the game do a little something special and say "I remembered and thank you for playing," is just so wholesome.

Birthdays contain a lot of good events happening in the games. Nice idea, Nintendo.

"It's been 3470 days since I last saw you." Every Wii Fit player lol I would check all my 3DS games on my birthday to see the messages and stuff, I loved it all, Awakening especially.

Years ago, I was playing Pokémon ORAS at my Birthday. I had a bad day and everyone forgot my Birthday. I was a little bit frustrated, so to cheer myself up, I played Pokémon. As I entered the Pokémon-Center, the Screen was darken and the Music stopps. So I thought "Great, did my Game just crash right now?" and I pushed a Button... and then this surprise... Everyone forgot me, but not Pokémon. I cried hard and wasn't able continue playing, but ... I don't know... I was very touched and thought it was beautiful. I loved it. I know, it's just a silly script, but Thankyou. Just thank you. This little surprise saved my day.

To me, Tomodachi Life wasn’t at all cringe. It made me happy that the miis did that for me. The first time I saw it, I actually cried. (I’m a crybaby- I cried at freaking Mewtwo Strikes Back-)

The Kirby Squeak Squad and Pokémon X/Y and OR/AS ones will always hold a special place in my heart. The Kirby one caught me off guard

I love in Animal Crossing it’s normal to be SLIGHTLY concerned for your villagers 🤣 “that’s a fire hazard” “please not like last time”

Awww, how wholesome! I love it when games acknowledge birthdays, kinda makes you feel special, ya know?

Wii U menu had the best birthday screen for me, seeing all those miis run up and clap, before that one guy pushes me over, 🤣

It is pretty cool how Video games celebrate your birthdays like that 🥳🎂🎊

Wow I didn’t know Mario and Luigi Dream Team can give the players something on their birthday

"Nice to see you again! It's been *3470* DAYS since i saw you last!"

Man , I miss tomodachi life so much

I love how the characters wish you a happy birthday when it’s your birthday! 😊

When I was younger I was waiting for my father to pick me up in my Birthday present's place and to make time pass I played some Mario Party Island Tour, and a Toad said a message like "Happy Birthday! You thought I'd forget about it? It's knowing me bad! I wish you a fantastic day" or something and I smiled for the rest of the day

It's a bit sad when you know there are people who are real happy to know they have friends in the game to celebrate their birthday

Even though tomodachi life's birthday event is cringy, it still warms your heart.

Media:Video games are violent Video games:

Yall be talking about how wholesome all of this is but no one talking about the dude keeping this channel up being 47.

If I'm correct, in certain Pokémon games from Generation IV and onwards, if your birthday falls on February 29th and it's not a leap year, the Nurse Joy will say "I know it's a day early, but Happy Birthday! "

You almost forgot the thing K.K does where he gives you a special song and also shows you letters made by villagers and possibly people playing on the same console.

I've always like it when games do stuff like this

In the legendary starfy, you get a happy birthday message before the game starts

4:45 The first time I ran into a birthday Easter Egg. Couldn't stop crying for like 5 minutes. Beautiful.

There is a Wii U thing on your birthday all the miis will be clapping and there will be confetti

I've always loved having pokemon celebrate my birthday, but now I need to play animal crossing exclusively for that scene

It's been 10 years since the Wii fit board hasn't seen Matt, damn

6:59 it actually sounds like they said happy birthday

Lately I haven’t liked by birthday very much. But the last two years I started to play tomodachi life on my brithday. I’ve stated crying. The animal crossing one also makes me feel a little bit better about my birthday. Thanks for all the lovely memories Nintendo!

I cried when I heard the little birthday sounds in Pokémon Ultramoon because my family doesn't really celebrate my birthday with me since 3 year's and everytime I hear it is make me so happy that I cry and Ultramoon is also the Pokémon I spent the most time in it honestly made my last year's of my childhood so much better before turning 18

I don't know if you made this cause it's actually your birthday, but just in case. Happy birthday, thank you so much for the amazing content over the years!

This man only set up two miis on Tomodachi Life

No way! It’s actually my birthday today and this video just shows up out of nowhere!!! I guess even RU-vid has some gifts for me😂🎉

I Remeber seeing the squeak squad one when I was 9 and i nearly cried over it. I didnt have any friends to celebrate with so it was very special to me.

I remember the one in X actually freaking me out at first when the screen dimmed. I thought my 3DS was broken or I was about to be jumpscared by the ghost girl again.

also on other hand, for the Birthdays in Tomodachi Life. If your look a like Mii still has the the age-o-matic or the kid-o-matic effect and you turn 18, your look a like won't call you and they won't celebrate it (however they can still celebrate it via Mii News) \this happened to me once because my Mii look a like got married and had the age o matic effect along with her husband (this happened in 2019, the look a like Mii was 16, i'm currently 19)

I got pokemon black when it first came out on my birthday, so seeing it again really made me miss the excitement I had for it

My Favorites scenes: 0:15 1:02 1:58 6:17

I really love it when games do stuff like this. It actually gives me something to look forward to on my birthday

1:34 3470 days, over 9 and a half years ago (give or take a few days) was when you last played WiiFit(?), that's nuts.

YOU POSTED THIS ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

I once read a story online about a man who had a birthday but no one said happy birthday to him. He then played Pokèmon and the Pokèmon center wishing him a happy birthday made him cry.

the wii spots one got my laughing so hard cause of the time

I randomly opened Kirby Squeak Squad and I got that message. That was a good suprise.

So nice when games recognize the player's birthday! Also Animal Crossing New Horizons has the special KK Slider concert on your birthday.

Apparently the typical Happy Birthday song isn’t public domain…

Is there a reason you didn’t include the birthday message that appears in the Pokémon centre for Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee and Pokémon Sword/Shield?

I was so excited to play animal crossing on my birthday so I could celebrate, but I had school that day and my brother had already been on my account, he ate all my cupcakes, and scattered the presents around the island. (he's four though, so I don't really blame him.)

I remember playing Pokémon Moon when that happened, I was confused with what was happening, and then in the end, I was surprised it recognized my birthday.

imagine if the wii fit pad said: But remember!, Age is just a number

Of all the Nintendo games that could have celebrated our birthdays, a Kirby game is the last one I would've expected.

Imagine if this video was on your birthday

Even though this video came out yesterday I can still watch it today on my birthday lol

I would be scared if Miis that I created would start singing me the "happy birthday" song and start aggresively clapping.

I’m so glad this video came out a couple days before my birthday on Monday

This video was actually released on my birthday, so that’s rather fitting for me.

So charming when games do this. Thank you to developers for doing such fun things especially because game development is already so time consuming.

I also forgot to mention that you forgot the Pokémon Sword and Shield birthday event that you can trigger by telling the lady next to the first Pokémon Center your birthday

The latest pokemon ones and the animal crossing celebrations are so lovely! Nice to see little details. Although... what was going inside their heads when they did the tomodachi one?...

If only Star Fox had one… It wouldn’t hurt to have some bonus if we play during one of the main characters’ birthday or our birthday, no?

Happy birthday Roddy!

Aw, you missed the one for The Legendary Starfy!

It's so cute when they do that! 😊💕

stop i was so shocked when in pokemon xy the name "Luna" appereard bc its my name ahah

Should've included the DS and Wii U birthday easter eggs, even though it's not game related but still neat to see them when that day arrives.

Oh hey its my birthday

If they had minds of their own: next gen Nintendo games could be similar to MegaMan exe

I love how Nintendo just announced the Final Mario Movie Trailer for March 9th, 2023 WHICH IS MY BIRTHDAY❤🎉🥳

My birthday is tomorrow and I didn't know that Nintendo games can celebrate your birthday which I find very interesting. 🎉😊

4:45 this pokemon center music its sweet and it makes me emotional

Love the lenny face refference in the animal crossing avatar

I remember a few years ago, Nintendo sent some points to my twins phones for me and my twins birthday.

If i had one of these games, some characters will wish me a happy birthday.

I wish everyone a happy birthday now and all these coming years i am so very happy to see you all born and exist in this world seriously no joke no pranks here sincerely me

I like how the Wii U also celebrates your birthday

I've actually seen that Kirby Squeak Squad one because I got it for Christmas in 2012.

the wii fit one hits home 🥹

7:30 your Villager Persona literally just has “Unity” tattoo’d on their forehead.

I’d probably be freaked out and happy that a game knows it’s my birthday and they celebrate it

I do wish I could receive nice gifts for my birthday like how these games gave you birthday gifts

funny this showed up in my recommended on my 21st birthday, so hey that's pretty damn awesome.

Nintendo added birthdays in a bit of games

Well if you play these games at the same time you go: WOOOO WOOOOOOOO-

Megaman ZX has a similar event, where if you complete the Area I mission, talk to a girl NPC with glasses in Area C on your birthday, and she'll give you a cake that will restore some HP

Amazing

1:08 awwww thanks Kirby

Perfect timing to discover this video, my birthday is in 2 days!

7:03 Facebook and Google: ¿Got any room for us?

In my school vr game on the birthday theres a cutseen where the main character you play as will have there birthday but there's a problem the feature ONLY works as Goalius ryuko maktoi mikasuki Argus and pyra/mythra because there dates where already identified on the codex entry's
