Hello Guys! I'm a huge fan of your work! I'm Brazilian and I'd really like to translate this documentary to Brazilian-Portuguese I know that the youtube has a tool to help people submit their subtitles. I'm an english teacher so it would be a honor for me. If you tell me how I can do it I would happily translate all the english text. (y)
@@FelipeBR1 thanks! I believe the information can be found here: czcams.com/users/timedtext_cs_panel?c=UCpvtp7mH0Cdq8FQUxcjDq0Q&tab=2
Can't find subs when playing through Kodi. Any pointers?
Really thanks for the Spanish subtitles.
Gracias por los subtítulos en español, ojalá todos sus vídeos los tuvieran 💓
It’s crazy how two guys passionate about rgb now make tv quality docu’s about important Japanese developers.
Just as M2 strives to preserve gaming history, My Life in Gaming continues in their mission to educate gamers, young and old, about where gaming as a culture came from and where it's going.
This documentary is a real gem. Thank you for all of your hard work!
i just had the same thought exactly
Once again you guys show why you're the best on CZcams.
High praise from a legend!
@@_gorezone_ That's not Dave. It's Joe.
No you’re breathtaking! 😎
Me love you long time only 1 dollar for you
Joeeeee!!!!
"PS2 was not enough powerful to do the port, so we redirect the audio and sfx to the PS1 chip". Now these are RESOURCES. Geniuses.
which minutes please?
@@erikthegamer8727 20:16
@@AbcDefg-zt8xy thanks
I got a laugh out of that since so many people bought into the marketing hype that the PS2 was light-years ahead of previous game consoles.
Dude, they used one of the cons of a console (Ghosting/Game Gear) to make the game full of sprites, madmans.
Probably the greatest thing either of you have ever done in your entire lives.
I give this documentary a 10/10.
That "Giga Drive" thing is nuts.
"We can't get the 3DS to run the Mega Drive; so we'll just make the Mega Drive 2!"
Make sure to go to "Settings > Subtitles > English - Japanese Translation" (unless you are fluent in Japanese)!
Also, this documentary is another piece of art, thanks for this great work!
Thanks! The English - Japanese Translation setting is there in the subtitle settings!
@@neccros007 Yes it only translates the Japanese, not the English
4:09 everyone watching gets up to check their door.
I know I did. lol
I didn't, but my dog sure did! *DING DONG!* *Bark bark bark...bark bark!*
I'm just wondering did they answer the door?
*Bark bark bark!
Yes i was very confused as it was 5.30am and thought who the hell is that.
Thank you M2 for not only helping with videogame preservation, but thinking and going a step further in making them feel fresh by adding helpful stuff, making new assets for the game and even creating new games altogether. I salute you and will keep track of all the stuff you make, buying everything as long as I can to support your endeavors.
I believe there also working on the mehadrive mini. I have a mega sg already but will be curiouse to see how good the mini is
How does this channel only have 135,000 subs. It has the production quality of a channel with 2 million subscribers
I agree!
It has better production quality than a channel with 2 million subscribers.
Everyone of these guys at M2 are TRUE gifts to gaming culture and history! Stunningly talented guys!
My Life In Gaming: Thank You!! The best documentary on ANY game company ever! Keep it up guys!
Great documentary. The 3DS port of Streets of Rage 2 rekindled my love for that game and it is now one of my favorite videogames ever, so seeing the ammount of work they put in it makes me want to personally thank M2 for it. They always go above and beyond.
This is one of the best videos on CZcams - great work guys. The thing that I love about M2 (and former companies like Toaplan, Irem, Naxat, Compile, Treasure or Cave) is that they don't just do their work at a game developing company - no they simply love games & are game fans. That's exactly the reason I always loved Japanese games more because Western developed games are made by business decisions first - the problem with that is - the soul is missing. Hooray for companies like M2.
The PS4 rerelease of Battle Garrega made the game completely playable for me since they included the option to changing the color of enemy bullets. I had a difficult time seeing the bullets in the original and this change made the game one of my favorites. Fantasy Zone 2 W is another amazing title I'd love to see ported again in the future.
M2 rocks.
I just wanted to add my congratulations to an amazingly produced film. This shows CZcams at its best: original and informative, premium quality video and editing, and utterly fascinating to watch. Thank you M2 and My Life In Gaming!
09:08 - Looks like that Treasure logo was precursor to Gamecube intro animation
I'm so glad a company like M2 exists, to pour the love and respect into these ports that the games deserve - every one of their ports that I've played has been not only the absolute best in class versions I've experienced, but even that I could imagine. This video has made me appreciate their efforts even more, and increased my determination to support more of their work - the upcoming SEGA Megadrive Mini went from a dismal sounding affair to an absolute must-buy, simply by SEGA announcing that M2 will be handling it. Long live M2!
M2 is great and I appreciate their history and dedication. I was so happy to hear that M2 would be developing for the Genesis Mini releasing this year so im definitely gonna pick that up as I'm sure it will be great just as their Sega Ages games on switch have been :D Long live M2!
I'm really excited they're handling the Turbografx mini too, but I really hope they get a translation of Snatcher on there. Leaving it in Japanese so English speakers couldn't play it would be the biggest shame :/
It's been 2 and half years now but this is still a great documentary. Thanks for doing this and all the best !
Great documentary on some really talented guys who have a deep passion for the games they give to us again. You don't see many in the gaming industry willing to give the fans all this, and more (extra content, hell yeah) in this day and age.
Usually when I have something on to watch, I end up doing something alongside the watching. Like a TV show marathon while playing a game.
Watching this had my entire focus for the whole thing. Couldn't bring myself away from it. Fan-freaking-tastic job, you guys.
Might be the subtitles
I will buy Sega mini just to support M2. And I really want the Konami Rebirth Series Collection.
The Turbografx 16 mini is also by M2. Its really well done too!
This was well worth the wait guys! I really loved hearing about how M2 and SEGA had so much history between each other, and how M2 handled all the many challenges of porting and effectively recreating these games across so many generations. BTW, I know it's a lot of work to put together these long form videos, but I absolutely love em. Keep it up!
M2's commitment to preserving games as best as possible, remaining true to the original experience, is always a treat. They truly are the masters of modern emulation and ports; their work is always fantastic.
I was really looking forward to this one, and you guys totally delivered! It's truly fascinating seeing a historical look at the modern masters of emulation. Also, not to take away from the quality of previous works, but your skills at producing projects like these are noticeably improving; It's very clean editing and pacing-wise.
Congrats on another awesome doc Coury, Try, and everyone else involved (special shoutouts to Ser Flash for the bangin' OST)!
Ser from Studio Mudprints? Cool
Outstanding job on this documentary. I've long revered M2, they truly are a 'Treasure'. I dearly hope they someday port Daytona USA and SEGA Rally to the Switch. The original Virtua Fighter would be incredible too given the phenomenal job they did with Virtua Racing.
You guys have come such a long way. Fantastic documentary. We need companies like M2 now more than ever.
Wait hang on, are you telling me that my copy of Gauntlet for the Mega Drive that my mum gave to me a few years ago was M2’s first product!? That’s incredible!
M2 deserve the world and beyond for their hard work and dedication to preserve videogaming history. Excellent video as always from one of the best YT channels around. You guys never disappoint!
M2 belongs to the very best developers hands down.
Recently played their ports of Out Run & Virtua Racing on my Switch, and they are absolutely perfect.
Especially Virtua Racing is simply Gold.
This episode is amazing. Thank you all for pouring so much time into this. Excellent interviews
Phenomenal. Longest video I've watched on CZcams. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt but I think that was more of me not wanting it to end. Great video, guys. Shoutout to M2! I'll forever back this company.
tbh ... this documentary is far better than 95% of the "professional" high budget documentary available on TV / Netflix etc.
I freaking love your channel ... for me one of the most underrated gaming channels.
Hope you guys do a physical video of this like the Night Trap documentary. That's a day 1 purchase.
[Try4ce] We'll have some copies on our Wix store sometime in the future (probably a few months), but we aren't sure how many yet.
Just finished Phantasy Star on the switch and these guys knocked it out the park. Id been wanting to play this game, but its barrier of entry was a bit too steep for me. They weren't lying about the "old guy' mode it really made it an enjoyable experience(Lassic still was no joke and guys make sure you bring a transfer😉). Great job on the video you guys continue to raise the bar. This is what happens when two great content providers come together, thanks for the hard work, it is appreciated!
I learned so much in this doc. Amazing job. Your work, It is simply unparalleled in the gaming scene. Truly awe inspiring to witness. Thanks for letting me take part in the ride.
Congratulations! Your M2 documentary is absolutely fantastic. You've gone above and beyond, again, to give us something that we've never seen before. Thank you for your love of games and your desire to share that with us.
Beautiful tribute. So, so wonderful--- this my favorite documentary you've ever done!! Completely fascinating!
This is a beautiful masterpiece. I honestly cannot put into words how incredible this is and how much I love it. It’s a shame it had to be just 1 hour long. You guys are awesome, and this is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, even above some of my BBC2 favourites.
There’s a reason why you guys are my favourite CZcamsrs of all time, and this is it.
I feel blessed to have lived through and experienced the 70s, 80s, 90s, the golden age of gaming. No nostalgia here. Just pure gameplay and love of art. They weren't trying to loot box you. They built empires on brilliance, not exploitation.
This is the best gaming documentary I've ever watched. Thank you!
Great job guys! I love this community. So much support and appreciation for everything gaming!
M2's dedication to authenticity is inspiring. So is the quality of this channel's documentaries!
Thank you so much M2! And thank you so much "My life in Gaming" guys!!!
This was a total blast to watch and learn even more about a company that brings me so much joy.
I had NO IDEA these guys were behind Gauntlet IV on the Genesis! That was one of the games I played as a kid. I never got into the campaign mode when I was super young, but after having played my first few RPGs, I got curious and read through the instruction manual. It was amazing! It really made Gauntlet feel like a unique experience on the Genesis, even compared to the arcade original (which of course, I didn't have access to). I think it's a bit of a hidden gem on the console, actually.
I can’t believe this hasn’t garnered at least a million views. This is the second time I’ve watched this episode and it’s just amazing. This rivals anything seen on any of the big networks. You guys are amazing and like M2, you’re gems in our community. Happy 2021
I have about three compilations emulated by M2 and some retro digital games as well, they go above and beyond to emulate games near perfect or perfect for modern hardware. With notoriety M2 has im hoping more gaming companies look to them to emulate their retro gems. These documentaries you guys put together are top notch and deserve to be on streaming platforms like Amazon Video, Hulu and the like.
I tell you, My Life in Gaming is the M2 of CZcams content creators! :)
The sheer amount of production value, research and finishing touches you put in these are just stunning.
Fantastic documentary!
This is a such an excellent documentary on M2. This has inspired me to check out so many re-imagined/ported/emulated classics! Thank you.
Brilliant documentary. Just like M2, My Life in Gaming always manages to deliver something faithful with an extra flair not usually seen in CZcams.
Incredible documentary. Top quality work that sets a high bar for gaming documentaries. Keep it up!
Excellent documentary. Well paced and organized, with wonderful interviews. Thank you!
Fantastic job guys, always love these behind-the-scenes documentaries! Keep up the great work!
The time flew by; amazing documentary on an amazing company. Thanks a lot for doing it!
This is so epic and wonderful. A great look at one of the most awesome developers ever. Thanks for researching, interviewing, filming and editing this all. Excellent work.
I'm a much younger gamer, but even I appreciate the effort M2 goes through to make these the best they can. So M2, keep doing what you're doing!
This is one if the most high quality, incredibly done pieces of content on CZcams right now. Absolutely stunning!
An excellent video about a wonderful studio. This may be your finest work yet! Major kudos for this.
Your documentaries just keep getting better.
Brilliant video! Was so awesome to get to meet you yesterday at the CinciClassic and like I said then I absolutely love your video editing skills and passion for Sega that comes across in you videos! Keep up the great work you are absolutely killing it on these documentaries!
What an incredible documentary! Horii-san is such an inspiring devloper and it's so fun to listen to him and his colleagues explain the challenges of porting. M2 is a legendary developer and among the best of the best at creating timeless ports that just keep getting better and better. Thank you so much for everything you guys have done to make this wonderful history lesson possible. I can't wait to see what you cover next.
I never knew M2 had such a history! And the depth of research that went into this is unbelievable! I learned so much! Thanks to everyone involved.
Wow, i am very impressed with this documentary! More of it please. Fantastic job guys.
Simply put this documentary is fantastic, congratulations to all involved on what must have been a ton of work.
Fantastic documentary! The quality of the content in this channel does not stop to amaze me. Keep up the great work guys...
The production value of this episode is incredible, it’s as good as anything on main stream TV.
This documentary is simply stunning. Thank you for all the hard work MLiG and associates! : )
Just discovered this documentary. Incredible watch highlighting some of the best in the industry. Incredible work
I did not know anything about M2 before this video and thus, wasn't sure if this documentary would sustain my interest. One hour later, and my mind is blown with a new respect for these genius gentlemen and the magic that they work. Great documentary, I feel like I truly expanded my knowledge and appreciation of gaming.
I've been waiting for a documentary about m2 for so long
thank you
Great interview video!! I'm japanese. I'm glad to know a history of M2 In detail.
Great documentary! I found it by chance and it got me hooked. Very informative.
This documentary is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for this.
Production quality OUT OF CONTROL. Great work guys!!
This was such a good watch! I feel like I have learned so much in the past hour. Thank you for making this MLIG :)
This was a great well made documentary type video guys. It took me a while to get into the right mindset for it and actually watch it in a few sittings, but the subject matter was awesome thanks so much for taking the time with it and making it so well made. I’d love to see the odd similar ones in the future. Equally guys don’t forget to just be yourselves have your own opinions and views, since that is why I come back!
A very interesting and well done documentary! Learned some new things about M2 I wasn't aware of and it was just a very enjoyable video all around. Excellent work guys!
Incredible documentary
You all are creating the best gaming content by far on CZcams
An absolutely beautiful masterpiece of a documentary. You all should be proud of the work putting this together.
I’d equally love to see an in-depth video from Try and Coury on their favorite M2-developed games.
Long live M2 and My Life in Gaming!!!, Thankyou, awesome work.
Another excellent documentary guys! I appreciate your work and level of production quality.
Excelente trabajo. Simplemente increíble. En serio, lograron un trabajo de enorme calidad.
Yo realmente no conocía al equipo de M2, pero ahora me doy cuenta de que había probado muchos de sus trabajos. Es bueno saber que hay un equipo tan apasionado y dedicado detrás de todo esto. Gente como ellos es realmente inspiradora.
Y por supuesto, gracias por los subtítulos! Se agradece mucho!
FANTASTIC mini-doc! You guys are killin' it!
One hell of a piece. I enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you so much for doing this
You guys are the best content creators on CZcams period. Top notch and better than some professional production companies. Thanks for the hard work to entertain and inform us.
Well done. Interesting documentary. I had no idea that M2 was even MORE prolific than we thought!
❤️❤️❤️ These guys are awesome. 🙏🏼 Thank you for Your respect, passion and love for these old games. Kudos from a Belgian fan !
What a fantastic look at a company that I've always known about, but had no idea of they're history and skill. Documentaries like these are so incredibly important to the history of gaming. I'm really impressed and happy that this exists.
Incredible job with this documentary! Great stuff.
This is amazing - you guys have totally outdone yourselves. Thanks so much for this!
Ever since I played the 3DS port of Gunstar Heroes, I have nothing but the utmost respect for M2 and doing more for the games of the past than simply copy pasting a rom, sell it and call it a day. Seeing their history from their beginnings to now really makes me appreciate the company even more. I look forward to whatever M2 has to offer in the future.
Hey Guys. Just wanted to say thanks for the outstanding content y’all create. It’s been a real pleasure watching every episode y’all produce. You set the bar very high for all other retro gaming channels. Keep up the great work!
M2 quickly became one of my favorite game developers. As someone who grew with many Sega games here in Brazil, its nice to see someone care about other Sega games apart from the typical Sonics and Mega Drive collections. Still saddens me how much of these amazing works never release outside of Japan or Nintendo consoles. Hacking my 3DS was one of my best decisions in gaming, i got to discover the amazing Sega Fukkoku Archives trilogy and some cool old Sega arcade titles like Power Drift.
In 51:30 i like how he mentioned the "wrilling" sound the goal post makes and how it should sound, bacause this is something many bad Mega Drive emulator fail to reproduce. Its a good way to determine if the emulator is good or bad.
Great documentary from M2 and a great display to the tribute they display with their work on classic games.
Makes me even more happy they are working on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive mini
Outstanding documentary, love M2, and love so much what they are currently doing with M2 ShotTriggers (as of 2023), hope they port every awesome arcade shmup/STG to the nintendo switch physical library.
I have always worshipped this legendary company growing up and it's amazing seeing their work recently on the Nintendo Switch! Thank you My Life in Gaming! This video is like what I always wanted to say to others, but could never adequately do it justice without actual interviews!
Thank you for another astounding well produced video, highlighting the creative geniuses behind many of the rereleased arcade and console classics we all know and love. We have these creative individuals to thank for their passionate efforts in keeping the games we love alive, and you to thank for sharing their story!
Great video! Never realized how much work went into porting games!
You guys really stepped up the bar with this one. Great work!
