Stop Skeletons From Fighting. question whens the next Quake ports for Quake 2 n64 and Quake 3 arena
It's time to get your import on. Nintendo puzzle collection and kurn squash have asome gba link support. I did reviews on it and if you need help I'm here for you ☺️
I do find it funny how many of my favorite content creators are telling me to shave my balls. AVGN / Cinemassacre and SomecallmeJohnny are some others! 😁
It's actually really easy to replace your VMU batteries, but yeah, there's not much of a reason to buy new ones these days.
I ended up in one of your videos haha wow. That really surprised me when it came up!
Glad to hear you were able to unlock the minigame with ease, thanks for the shoutout my dude!
Come down to Seattle, we’ll play some Wheelis!!
Whoah... Crossover of the century 👀
How wholesome of 2 gamers to unite just to unlock some things in a rayman game...
see, my friends used the tingle tuner to ruin my playthrough of Wind Waker by immediately spending all my rupees trying to troll me with Tingle bombs.
That's why I don't talk about the Tingle Tuner.
I'm guilty of doing essentially this with one of my friends.
It's probably why we're not friends anymore.
I did this. It was an accident though, I didn't realize it used up rupees.
Loool
having done exactly this back in the day, lmfao, shit was high-larious.
The first rule of fight club.... err sorry. Misread that
Derek getting so genuinely enthused over the most obscure and/or trivial tidbits in games is why this is one of my favorite channels.
*Didn’t You Know?* The tingle tuner was actually a great way to cheat on the flight control mini game
The original P2W.
"No one fails better than nintendo"
That's a good line.
Great video, thanks.
Agreed, very good and thoughtful.
You can’t succeed without trying. And Nintendo tries a lot of things, experiments a lot, so they keep succeeding at innovating.
The only true failure nintendo had was definitely the virtual boy. Even less succesful stuff like the gamecube and the wii U still served a purpose as building blocks for far more succesful systems.
@@tentaclesmodbut u could say the virtual boy was a setup for the 3ds. It was nintendos first system to use stereoscopic 3d. Honestly they make a lot of attempts for ideas before they become main features for their newer consoles.
I remember when i wanted to play Chrystal Chronicles with a few friends but we lacked one GBA so we got a second Gamecube with the Gameboyplayer and a second TV so we could use that as a GBA. It was pretty stupid but it worked lol
So was that like getting the madcatz controller, or was it better?
@@mikekazz5353 apart from it being way too convoluted, it was great! You didn't need to look on this tiny screen and could use a Gamecube controller.
the logical conclusion of this was "The Gigaquad", a setup using a Wii, 4 Gamecubes, 4 Link Cables, two televisions, a monitor, and an array of capture cards that was used to record a Let's Play of Four Swords Adventure
* lacks GBA *
* has a spare GCN and TV lying around *
Makes sense
uh.... how do you plug in the link cable tho?
The manscaped ads are my favorite bc of all the ways everyone tries to not say ""pubic hair"
Great video!
"The SWAMP is REAL!"
I really didn’t need to know how well Derek’s swamp thing was maintained.
GET OUT OF MY SWAMP!
I didn't realize there was such a large market for pube trimming
WHAT ARE YA DOING IN MY SWAMP?!
Shrek swamp best swamp. Fairy creatures know where the party is at
Came for Derek, stayed for the ball shaving ad... wait, no.
@ChandSlam lol ditto
When I clicked on this video, I actually wondered if you were going to cover Dakar 2.
Since I was the racing guy as a kid, I hooked my friend up when he couldn't make it through the entire rally to unlock the GBA tracks. We would have time trials on the bus ride to school after loading the map to both of our systems... ah, the good old days
You were a racing guy with a GC? Nah, you had to have a PS2 if you were a racing guy. Right?
We each had one of the three consoles, you guessed right that I had the ps2, my buddy with the gamecube ended up getting Dakar 2 for Christmas from his grandpa and didn't have the heart to tell him he didn't like it. So, he invited me over and we made a weekend of completing the rally
that game was a lot of fun for me and a friend. We sometimes stopped properly doing the races and just tried to go anywhere and everywhere in certain maps. We didn't know what we were looking for, but we'd know when we found it. Mostly just screwing around.
damn, that PSO to Sonic transfer is like Stop n Swap if it worked lol
It is legitimately the only reason I bought PSO as a kid, and man, that game stuck with me. Still the only MMO I ever really cared about, real excited for PSO2 finally reaching us.
+ChandSlam I don't usually start quests until late game on whatever difficulty I'm playing... As far as I remember you can start any time and doing quests are helpful in general in that game as it can lead to some interesting weapons. I don't remember if its actual story progress or just quest progress that unlocks more quests though. I do know that some quests take place in areas you won't have unlocked yet if you're still in the very early game.
@@ArtisChronicles Not to mention, PSO has quest lines within those quests. If you go one route, you can't take the other, unless you do that on a different difficulty.
"hey man where do you keep your games?"
"in that bag next to my pube trimmer"
For once, blowing in cartridges might actually be necessary
One of the best GBA-GC connectivity features - maps in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on the GBA screen
That Rayman two-player mini game looks super creative. I want to try it!
I am disappointed that the Wii and DS didn't have this level of interactivity.
But you could look into the NDS and GBA interactivity!
Like how certain types of Pokemon appear in areas of Diamond and Pearl depending on which Gen 3 game you had plugged into the bottom of the DS? I LOVED that stuff!
On the Nintendo Channel for the Wii you used to be able to download demos for your DS, and your Wii would send it wirelessly to the DS via download play.
@@ZekeGraal i wouldn't reallt consider a 4% encounter rate all that good (at least in gengars case although iirc this was the only way in the franchise to catch one in the wild) the palpark stuff was cool... In hgss cause of no daily transfer limit.
For a second my 2 brain cells thought nintendo desk cube
Kirby Canvas Curse would unlock different characters, depending on what game was in the GBA slot.
I love how you changed your channel from being an AVGN homage channel to its own, unique thing. Damn good content. Keep it up.
My sister and I actually had a similar cable that was compatible with single pak and we had a gba and gba sp.
Problem : We didn't know we had it.
We probably missed good things 🙁
Normal Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in Single Player
Galaxy Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with four players all using GBAs
Universe Brain: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles with four players all using GameBoy Players and their own separate TVs
Ahh, the legendary Giga-Quade. Some people used that set up to LP Four swords. It was pretty fun to watch.
Ascended: LARPing FF characters in the local park.
Cosmic transcendance brain: One person multiboxing one game of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles playing all four characters on four separate TVs
Me: stuffs 5 trimmed down gamecubes into one gamecube with 5 AV outs and 4 gameboy players stacked on top of eachother and controller ports on every side except the bottom
Honestly i dont know why they don't use the universe brain setup (but with longer cables) for pro play like a multiplayer speedrun but not speed
Woah! I just noticed that the concept of GBA's "Animal Island" is very similar to the new Animal Crossing New Horizons for the Switch!
Yeppp
So my favorite moment with link cables was a moment when we had four link cables but only three Gameboys so we used a second GameCube with its game boy player as a Gameboy for the Link cable our TV had the ability to display a second input in the corner in a small screen so we played Crystal Chronicles and four swords with this
Your weird recording setup for this video reminds me of the horror stories of people attempting to record a Four Sword Adventures Let's Play... with 5 GameCubes, 4 Game Boy Players, and 5 TVs.
The Tingle Tuner in wind waker actually means a lot to me. When me and my little brother were younger he struggled with playing the Wind Waker because he found it to hard to play. One day I received a copy of four swords on the gamecube that came bundled with the GBA Link Cable, from that day forward while I played Wind Waker my little brother would play with me using the Tingle Tuner and we would play together for hours on end like that, just wandering around and having a blast together. To this day this is still one of my favorite gaming memories and I would not trade it for anything.
One of the main reasons for Wario's Woods not being available was its size, obviously as you said, but not necessarily only that. Wario's Woods was the most intensive use of the MMC3 ASIC memory mapper, and I can safely bet that chip was what made WW so hard to work with. The game is already 256k, and beside that you need to accurately emulate an MMU for an emulator, in 2001, on a GBA.
My experience with vmu batteries is that they will travel back in time to die during the Roosevelt administration. The first one.
A few Interactive Multi-Game Demo Discs had a download for the Berry Glitch patch for Gen 3.
Nintendo went a step further. They hid the patch on FireRed and LeafGreen. You only needed the button combination to access it, which is B+Select and then follow the instructions.
the PAL version of the Pokémon Channel also does this.
One of my favorite memories is actually playing crystal chronicles and Zelda four swords with my two other friends! The GBA link was such a weird and funky idea, and I LOVED it! Great video!
I got a buddy of mine who hated RPGs to somehow play FFCC with me. It was awesome, I wish there was more to that game thou. I always loved the idea of RPG couch co-op
i'm always happy to hear someone talk about Billy Hatcher! i grew up playing that game's multiplayer mode for HOURS with my friends, and when i got older i played the story mode. the camera is pretty rough but i actually love the controls. not many games like that anymore. awesome video!
Derek sounds especially excited in this one, and I love it. You can tell how passionate he is about this stuff!
"I never played Animal Crossing on the gamecube, I wonder how much it is to get now?" five seconds later "WHAT!"
I'm guessing it was quite rare in the PAL regions.
In Europe it released quite late in the GameCube's lifecycle. IIRC they originally didn't think the sales would justify the cost of translating it to multiple European languages, by that time a lot of retailers had stopped stocking GameCube stuff so it wouldn't have been that widely available.
Buying late GameCube games was HARD, I remember having a really tough time trying to get hold of a copy of Resident Evil 4 at release. Kinda funny now considering that game's on more platforms than Skyrim.
In the Australian release from Oct. 2003, some of the e-Reader feats still exist and that certain designs, music and NES games may have been cut down more.
I remember Mad Catz made a GBA GameCube link cable that had a place for you to plug a GBA SP charger into. That's the one I used; it let me get as much play time as I wanted without needing to worry about my battery dying.
I had my first experience with NES games on Animal Crossing through the GBA when I was 13.
This channel feels so much different from others. In a good way.
I KNOW I will learn something new, compared to other ‘information’ channels.
Great work, keep it up.
That crooked lipped smile & extreme side-mouth talking (ex: 0:23) is golden. It's like your trademark.
Punching Weight videos are so rewatchable. Entertaining, informative, funny, snappy editing. I would watch an hourlong SSFF about the DK bongos. Or memory cards. ...and then again every couple of months later.
I always wanted to shave my butt, nice to know you're right behind me on that.
my hair never grew back after I shaved it in 2015, magical clippers I think not!!!!
Underrated joke
@@anoncanon1100 sounds good to me
Using the link cable with my GameBoy Player is actually how I used the Tingle Tuner in WindWaker while playing it on my Wii. I then connected the GameCube up to a portable DVD Player's video input (which was plugged in) since it was the easiest way I had to get 2 screens so I could actually see the GameCube output. I however do not have friends to play with so I would just use it as a nice mini map and to buy health when I started to get low in some areas.
Damn, you cut me deep with that rayman 3 diss. Definitely one of my favorite games.
I know, right? That's like if someone told Derek they didn't like Resident Evil 4 after only trying it once.
Man.. I love Billy Hatcher so damn much. Any mention of it in any video is such a blessing, and I’m glad it was showcased here. I’m still hoping for a sequel knowing it’ll never happen, but it’s such a great game and IP that deserves better treatment.
There was a game called Amazing Island, you created monsters by drawing on skeletons that would compete in various minigames. The minigames themselves were just okay, but the real draw was the ability to create your own monsters. The game had GBA link support, and you could transfer your monsters into a Pokemon-style card game. You could even transfer the monsters to two GBAs and battle each other through a link cable!
The GameCube version of SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was originally also going to have a link cable feature that would work both with and without the GBA game of the same name.
If you had the GBA game inserted when the link cable was connected to the GameCube, then you would have been able to play a 3D version of the special jellyfishing mini-game that ended up only making it to the handheld counterpart on your TV.
If you had the link cable fully connected, but didn't have a copy of the handheld game inserted in the GBA, then you could have used your Game Boy Advance as a radar for when you went treasure hunting.
Unfortunately, though, due to the very rough production cycle that the console version of ROTFD (which was also being developed for the Playstation 2) went through, the link cable feature was scrapped, though voice clips on how the functionality would have worked are still hiding in the GameCube version's disc files.
This man is the ONLY youtuber that seems so genuinely interested in what he’s talking about
Can we get some Wii and Ds era stuff? Like Wii Speak, or Ds/Wii connectivity?
I have very fond memories of manning the Tingle Tuner while my big brother played Wind Waker. Awesome video, I always loved the link cable. I feel like not enough people talked about Four Swords Adventures, and I definitely got my use out of the GBA chao garden.
Also I am so fucked up right now. My original GBA SP's screen broke, but you could hear from the sound that the game still ran and all the inputs worked, but since it was "broken" my brother threw it across the street and into a concrete wall, causing it to REALLY break. If I had known I could use the GBA Player I could've still used it!!!!!!
I’m actually surprised this channel doesn’t have more viewers and subscribers this content is fuckin gold!
Man I had really good times playing with my GameCube GBA Link cable with Pokemon back in the day. This is making me wanna play them again.
I was digging through my pile of old cables and other video game stuff for an eternety, looking for an old GBA-GBA link cable to complete the Pokedex, couldn't find it.
What I did find very early in my search was the GBA-GCN cable. Only after giving up on my search did I even think about trying to use that cable, since it has two GBA ports.
Of course it works.
I spent so much time, was browsing ebay for a cable for an eternety, even bought one from a loval game store, only for that cable to be broken, gave up, and THEN did I realize how amazing the GCN cable is.
Punching Weight is by far my favorite series!
When I would hang out with my best friend in middle school, we'd play four swords and other gba connected games using 1 gamecube connected to the "big" ~24inch crt with a regular gba and my gamecube/gba player setup with the little flip top attachable screen. Legitimately played Crystal Chronicles, 4 swords, Wind Waker Tingle Tuner, and even E-Reader games like this. We played hundreds of hours of Melee on that small fliptop attachable display, always on Hyrule Temple of course.
I would love to see a PSO video one of these days. As well as the gamecube keyboard.
Well PSO2 is coming to the west next year... finally
I remember using the link cable as my friend played windwaker...he was having fun and I sat there bored for days
Very cool! One of your best videos!
First time watching you, awesome video you kept it interesting and knowledgeable the whole way through. Thank you!
All really cool things. I have pretty much all of these games but didn’t know like any of this stuff. I know what I’ll be trying when I get home from work!
The rayman 3 driving minigame looked amazing and completely original. Never really seen a mode like that anywhere else.
There's a video on youtube of four guys playing Four Swords Adventures with five TVs, five Gamecubes, and four link cables. Each GC has a GBA Player attached. If you search "legend of zelda four swords five tvs" it should be the first result. Really cool that those guys were able to put that together. It's worth seeing.
I do remember the windwaker gba add-on. Played at my friends house and he let me have the gba. I naturally kept bombing him while he was sailing. He got mad, and I started using the timed bombs to be a little more inconspicuous. After a bit, he went in the town and you kept hearing bombs in the distance. Good times
If you can get a hold of it, the japanese exclusive Nintendo Puzzle Collection was also bundled with a link cable!
Amazing video, man! Great content
I think it's also worth noting that the Tingle Tuner is an integral part of Wind Waker speedruns, as it's used for the zombie hover and some other crucial glitches
On another note, I never owned a GBA link cable growing up (and neither did any of my friends for some reason), but I did have a GameCube GBA Link Cable, so we would trade pokemon by transferring them through Pokemon Colosseum; I remember that a single trade could take like 20 minutes since there were 3 or so transfers that had to be done lol
pso is probably one of my favorite experiences ever. Playing it with friends on a fan server was fun as hell.
Hello Derek :) Good to see your new episodes of punching weight love that format :D Also a good video wuhu. So many greeting from Germany ;)
I freaking loved the GBA Connectivity on the GameCube, my mom got me Sonic Advance because of this, after me playing weeks of the Tiny Chao Garden in SA2B without saving function.
Also Wind Waker got even better with that thing connected to it, and not just those games but also Wario Ware Mega Games and The Sims Busting Out!
Oh and don't forget the GBA works as complete functional controller for the GameBoy Player as well.
Those were the days... yes... truely one of the many aspects that made me enjoy the GC and GBA so much.
Yeah! Awesome, you got some use out of Dakar 2. Crazy how much content people never knew about hidden away in all these games. Great vid as always
I was half moved into my moms house and stuck there with nothing to do. So I actually resorted to paying gba games on my GameCube with a gba as a controller since I had no game cube controllers with me. Ever since then I've been extremely thankful for that feature
Another SSFF video when I really need it? Hell yeah!
Loved the video, I'm jealous that you had the chance to get a real tails chaos!
I did not own a GBA Link cable til 2018, I was really late to that party.
But, it was totally worth transferring all of my GBA Pokemon from Sapphire to Gale of Darkness.
12 Year old me still wishes he used that cable much earlier.
That GBA Nights music is my everything. I highly recommend looking up Pokecapn - the guy who did THE Sonic '06 Let's Play - because one of the last CZcams LPs he did was of Four Swords Adventures. He and his buddies had the base game running on a Wii. They also had four GameCubes with Game Boy Players working as their GBAs. And they recorded ALL OF IT. I think they called it the HyperQuad.
You can also play Pokémon Sapphire or Ruby by connecting GBA with Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby with GBA-Gamecube Cable with Gamecube with Pokémon Box game. So you can play Pokémon game on tv screen without GB Player. Easiest way to get Pokémon Box was atleast in europe with Pokémon Colosseum Bundle that had Pokémon Colosseum with Pokémon Box bundled in same game case.
Wow holy crap. I’m in your video lol for the GameCube online! Well that surprised me!
Ah man.. I missed punching weight ..good episode .. looks like i need to go Gamecube game shopping
I have a Gameboy Advance with a TV out mod. I used to plug it My Commodore 1701 composite monitor, and used to have that set up directly beneath my old CRT HD (pre-HDMI HD). I used to play Windwaker on the HD TV (480p of course), and have the GBA displayed on the bottom Commodore monitor. It was great!
I LOVE your smile, man!
Honestly I would love to see someone like you do a video about Legend of the Dragoon for PS1. It's one of the most underrated games most people have never heard of
Sort of related, but the WiiWare game "Maboshi's Arcade" had something kinda like this with the DS. Not only was it a crazy unique game in its own right, but you could download one of the three games at a time to your DS (3DS works too) to take with you on the go. You'll miss out on the interactivity the three games had onscreen, but it was still a pretty neat feature, nonetheless.
I have a FPS master controller that is everything this channel is about! Wish there were enough out there to be popular
I freaking loved the tingle tuner!!!
so glad you mentioned the tingle tuner
I need to dig through my box of cables. I know I have one of those link cables.
Love this stuff man, keep up the good work!
You can use Tiny Chao garden without a cartridge. This results in instead of sending your Chao to the garden normally, it creates a clone. With this, you can copy your CHao to other save files.
Bro ur flipping hilarious I’m over here watching all ur videos dying at work lmao
GOTTA STAY PHRESH. Much love, Derek.
Yo, I loved this thing! I used it all the time! The island was one of my favorite parts of Animal Crossing. I always used the Tingle Tuner when I wanted to play Wind Waker and I had a friend over. And the tiny chao garden (not even including the Sonic Advanced benefits) let you clone your chao and bring them from SA1 to SA2! Such an awesome peripheral.
9:44 "Oh god if I don't get back on-track I might get addicted to this game all over again"
Man I felt this comment in my soul. PSO is such a great game, and it's so easy to get sucked back in.
umd-recognition yeah from Yu-Gi-Oh tag Force
When me and my brother 1st got gamecube and few games we 1st got was Sonic Adventure 2, I wondered what that GBA feature was for. But at least now I know. Plus one of these days I need to get the original GBA even though I already own the GBA SP. Awesome video and love Punching Weights. Also someday for a future video, you should cover Action Replay Add on for Sega Saturn.
Punching Weight is my spirit animal. I love this show!
Man, I know it's an possibly expensive proposition, but I'd love to see a Punching Weight on the PC Engine Arcade Card. Feels like the exact type of stuff you guys are into on this show.
Man I spent a lot of time in the chao garden. A really deep complex side game that most people overlooked
AD BLOCK ACTIVATED:
2:18
4:33 I once kept my GBA SP turned on long enough so I could play NES Donkey Kong on the car ride to go see a movie after transferring it from Animal Crossing. I forget what movie it was, I just remember the games I played at the time.
I love how insane all of these old add-ons are. I want to see a keyboard to put inbetween the joycons officially released in the west
I mean it makes sense that a game wouldn’t let you play a demo of itself as most people would think “why would you need the demo for a game you already own?”
I loved using the Tingle Tuner in Windwaker!
That GBA soundfont version of Dreams Dreams at 11:45 is glorious!
I love this show. More weird peripherals, please!
Damn. Four Swords was a game I so desperately wanted to play multiplayer but none of my friends owned GBAs and I only had one Gamecube link-cable. Playing it single player was alright, but I feel like I was missing a large portion of what made Four Swords unique.
I remember playing the Chaos Garden a lot as a kid on my GBA and transferring it to SA2 and SADX.
Billy Hatcher's theme or first level song or whatever it is is permanently burned into my brain
"OOOOOOOOH LAAA! LA LA LALA LA LA LALALALALA LA LA LALA LA!"
GINT EGG!
