I think I sent you a few of these Sintax GBA bootlegs a while ago, like Super Mario DX and Fighter Sonic. Cool to see you played a few of them on this stream. Hope all is well with you, Vinny. 🙂
I just love Vinny's increasing awareness to how Super Mario DX is pretty much a reskin of Lord of the Rings 4, and then when he hits the insurmountable roadblock at 32:14, the music kicks in right when he realizes he was right. Comedic timing at its finest, folks.
My favorite part of Lord of the Rings was when Marty and Pinpin rode on Facial Tree Hair to Isen Guarded "Where to, Facial Bush?" "OOOOOOohhh Little Rojins!"
As someone who has completed Shi Kong Xing Shou _(and who is still trying to give it a proper translation)_ watching Vinny struggle through the first town, not realizing that he was missing the one NPC he needed to talk to to progress the plot was painful but hilarious. A shame, too. He missed some gratuitous Engrish. *OH, BABY~*
Oh, that's rad as hell! I'll be honest- I was mostly doing it out of hobby during school and my aim was to do more of a "what if this were actually localized in the states" kind of translation, but I would absolutely love to see what you guys have done!
@@FoxMan_FF do you have any socials? I want to link the discord so you can check it out. We have a git as well for disassembly, but I can’t link any of it on here because yt blocks links
The Lord of the Rings bootleg was made in the Pocky and Rocky engine… and as I’m writing this with my extensive bootleg knowledge, someone in live-chat beat me to it.
I've noticed two things about these bootlegs: 1. I actually liked the music in the bootleg Metal Gear 2 game so much that I decided to give it my own version. 2. These bootleg GBA games usually have this familiar sound chip used within their games. These heavy drum bangs you hear within songs and whenever there's any form of currency you collect, the sound effect is from Pokemon when you choose something.
For those wondering why the gamecube says "brain games" in that pokemon bootleg If I had to guess, it's because this seems to be using chinese as a base (TianYuan, Chunzi, stuff like that is a good giveaway) In chinese, video games (or, rather, computer games) is "电脑游戏"/"Diànnǎo yóuxì" Since "computer" in chinese uses the characters "diàn" (electric) and "nǎo" (brain), a really sloppy translation would be something like "electric brain games"
@@JeskidoYT All things considered yeah it could be way worse for the kind of hack job it is. Given the notes also said it was specifically to cash in on the fact the JP version was out, I'm willing to bet they did what a lot of Hong Kong/Chinese bootleg TLs do, and machine translated the Japanese to Chinese, then again from Chinese to English, maybe with very minimal oversight from someone who spoke English. If you've seen the old Hong Kong bootleg subtitles for anime like Doraemon (1979), or Mazinger Z, they also were done like this, maybe with even less steps involved.
What’s funny is in Matel gear is when Snake and Colonel are talking to each other in the beginning,the music that plays is Ishtar’s theme from Tower of Druaga.
A good rule of thumb is that anything in a bootleg is at all good, or you can say that there is any kind of good qualities it it what-so-ever, it's probably stolen from something else in one way or another. Whether it be the music, visuals, anything, as long as it is a bootleg and it has any amount of quality to it at all, it's probably a safe bet that the bootleggers had nothing to do with it, at most, they probably copied it from somewhere, or the fact there is anything likable about it was completely accidental on the bootleggers part.
You’d be surprised. The first LotR one had a legitimately obtained P&R with Becky engine, and while a few assets are stolen most are original. ZMZX4 is mostly stolen graphically but has an original engine. SKXS is pretty much original, minus the stolen monster designs.
6:30 - This reminds me of one of the April Fools Day things I did where I went to a message board that I frequented and Google Translated everything I posted into a bunch of different languages and then back into English for the entire day.
I know why elf keep translated into spirit in LotR bootlegs: usually, elf is translated as 精灵 in Mandarin, but it's not distinguished enough with spirits.
Seeing vinny playing pokemon sapphire gives a weird nostalgia to me, considering that my first vinesauce video was the pokemon emerald corruptions, still one of my favorites
These reskinned bootleg games reminded me of the one spongebob platformer game with same music and level design that Vinny also loved and did not played infinte times
Hang on, isn't that Pokemon Sapphire bootleg just "Chinese Emerald"? not only did I recognize what vinny was reading from a channel that played the bootleg, but JOEL also played this years ago!
None of the gba games sounded any better than the gbc games. That’s sad. I mean I know the gba didn’t have dedicated sound hardware but holy shit (sapphire exempt from comparison for obvious reasons)
"Mom, mom, I want Mario in the shopping cart!" 'Mario Cart? Ok son, but just this once, it's your early Christmas gift's This was how Mario Cart probably made a kid very sad
Imagine having the Lord of the Rings, Mario, Shrek, and Sonic games as your only video games when you were a kid, and that is what you think all video games are for your entire childhood.
I have a headcanon for the creation of the Coffee pokemon bootleg: You know how in GTA you get missions "You'll find a tape under the phone." - the company that is making the bootlegs is a secret organisation that get their missions in a similar hitman-style, and the tape talked about a pokemon named "koffing", but since it's a tape and it's the 90's, there's no image included, so with the limited research, they couldn't figure out it's the koffing pokemon, but only heard "coffee". So in this 'game of telephone', the pokemons got completely changed up.
Vinny encountering bootlegs that are essentially the same game reminds me of joel's stream when the snes bootlegs he played were all made in the same engine.
The "weird human eyes" Sonic (on Fighter Sonic) is like that because the game has as animation of Sonic blinking, but it doesn't work. You can see his open eyes for a split second upon entering a stage. Source: tcrf.net/Sonic_3_Fighter_Sonic
1:04:07 I mean, the fact that they care enough to actually match the portrait with the in game sprite it's remarkable 1:07:13 "all cqc, no stealth" Wait, isn't that how Vinny plays Metal Gear anyway?
Yo that mario cart bootleg's music is pretty great, took me a while to find a download to that bootleg but if you search "Mario Cart(Chinese version)" on twitter you'll find it.
God, as a fan of Space Time Star Beast it was painful not seeing Joel talk to Hayato, the green haired boy. Also, I really like Vast Fame’s music. Clearly so did Sintax, as their GBA games stole some of it
I follow vine sauce exclusively for bad games and bootlegs! I respect all the other stuff Vinny does it all great but this is the good shit for me right here
48:06 of course the sprite is ripped, look at Beat painted green from Mega Man franchise And my favorite franchise Matel Gear, a legend of a toilet toy company

Imagine is 56:30 was the Sonic Frontiers true final boss lol
Vinny plays the same game four times and goes insane
And that’s not even all versions of that
@@enlongjones2394Yeah, there’s like 30 variants of Digimon Adventure. (The original game these are based on.)
17:49 Ah yes, the two options:
"New game"
and
"Rejigger"
The new N word we're yet to discover
MY KAJIGGER!
Dr. Odd is the key to all this.

Comedic timing at its finest, folks.
Vinny: Oh no it's the same thing....
The game: OH YEEAH IT'S THE SAME THING, LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
He became Phoenix Wright
Same energy as "GRAND, DAD"
Actually, The We're Many Reskins Of Digimon Adventure, Such As Sonic 3 Fighter Sonic, Super Mario DX, Lord Of The Rings 4, Rayman 4 & Etc.
We found a real Ninjabreadman situation here.
Maybe Data Design Interactive made these bootlegs after all
22:18 "The monster is energetic..!" has the same threatening energy as "That pizza is aggressive..!"
_Just another day at the nutrun household_
vinny transitioning from campbell to snake’s voice because he has no god damn clue who’s talking is pretty fun
"My name is Odd! People call me Dr. Monster!"
Ahh, it's just as I remember it
I mean tbf that's a pretty odd name

agree, Emerald is the best game
It’s been a long time since we seen bootlegs on here.

A shame, too. He missed some gratuitous Engrish. *OH, BABY~*
BABY BABY! SKXS is pretty good. I’m in a Discord that has made decent progress with translation, if you think you can help that would be awesome
Oh, that's rad as hell! I'll be honest- I was mostly doing it out of hobby during school and my aim was to do more of a "what if this were actually localized in the states" kind of translation, but I would absolutely love to see what you guys have done!

For those wondering why the gamecube says "brain games" in that pokemon bootleg
If I had to guess, it's because this seems to be using chinese as a base (TianYuan, Chunzi, stuff like that is a good giveaway)
In chinese, video games (or, rather, computer games) is "电脑游戏"/"Diànnǎo yóuxì"
Since "computer" in chinese uses the characters "diàn" (electric) and "nǎo" (brain), a really sloppy translation would be something like "electric brain games"
Damn I thought they were using brazilian code. Not bad of a translation tbh
@@JeskidoYT All things considered yeah it could be way worse for the kind of hack job it is. Given the notes also said it was specifically to cash in on the fact the JP version was out, I'm willing to bet they did what a lot of Hong Kong/Chinese bootleg TLs do, and machine translated the Japanese to Chinese, then again from Chinese to English, maybe with very minimal oversight from someone who spoke English.
If you've seen the old Hong Kong bootleg subtitles for anime like Doraemon (1979), or Mazinger Z, they also were done like this, maybe with even less steps involved.
can we talk about how the coin sound in the mario bootleg is the selection sound from pokemon
sounds like a generic 8bit sound made in bfxr.... any1 can do that....
Vinny mentions that during the game, supposedly by a chat member's mention.
the sound is used in the LotR 4 bootleg, too
man sound design is really hard, huh
19:22 are you sure about this vinny. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO ASK THAT. ARE YOU SURE
M A N S L A V E S
Ah yes, the fellowship of the ring! Rojins, SherdSherd, GrandaGranda, Jali and Alias!
46:02- Beat from the Megaman series, except green and with a parachute is my favorite Pokémon.
What’s funny is in Matel gear is when Snake and Colonel are talking to each other in the beginning,the music that plays is Ishtar’s theme from Tower of Druaga.
A good rule of thumb is that anything in a bootleg is at all good, or you can say that there is any kind of good qualities it it what-so-ever, it's probably stolen from something else in one way or another.

7 Grand Dad showed us that.

Joel sounds different these days

“GRANDA?“

27:43 My monster is dying
What do you want me to do about it?
I was genuinely surprised to see that the Shrek bootleg's backgrounds were from a Dinotopia game for the gba. Got me all nostalgic ngl
Data Design Interactive reskinning the same Wii game five times has nothing on these bootlegs.
I know why elf keep translated into spirit in LotR bootlegs: usually, elf is translated as 精灵 in Mandarin, but it's not distinguished enough with spirits.
Nowadays Vinny playing bootleg or pirated games feels like finding a hidden, great pulped gem
1:06:00 I just have to say, that's kind of an adorable sprite of Snake.
"Flaming Raging Flame Center"
Ah yes, we here at the Redundant Department of Redundancy know a lot about Flaming Raging Flame Centers.
Seeing vinny playing pokemon sapphire gives a weird nostalgia to me, considering that my first vinesauce video was the pokemon emerald corruptions, still one of my favorites
5:59 From left to right: Bootleg BotW Link, CBT Wizard, Gillius Thunderhead at 30 years, Isaac from Golden Sun & elf Goemon.

@@Bio-Rex yeah I realized that right after I commented this lol, I'm gonna leave my comment up cuz I love how stupid it is.
Shitty/shovelware/bootleg showcases are always my favorite streams
Remember that time Aragorn hit a huge flying fish with his sword. Good times.
These reskinned bootleg games reminded me of the one spongebob platformer game with same music and level design that Vinny also loved and did not played infinte times
The re skinned games remind me of the good days when vinny would play android games and it would be the same game at least 6 times
I left this wishing Vinny would play Emerald version.
SAME
He would LOVE the battle frontier and would likely spend a lot of time there.
Hang on, isn't that Pokemon Sapphire bootleg just "Chinese Emerald"? not only did I recognize what vinny was reading from a channel that played the bootleg, but JOEL also played this years ago!
I wouldn't mind this becoming a series tbh
LotR, Mario, Shrek, and Sonic all being the same fucking game was simply incredible to see live on stream
The music being the same was glorious.
Reminds me of that autorun platformer on Android that constantly showed up.
None of the gba games sounded any better than the gbc games. That’s sad. I mean I know the gba didn’t have dedicated sound hardware but holy shit
(sapphire exempt from comparison for obvious reasons)
Gotta say the pokemon sound effects makes an amazing cameo in this installment of bootleg games

Blade yelling NO when the emperor dies in oblivion
"Mom, mom, I want Mario in the shopping cart!"
'Mario Cart? Ok son, but just this once, it's your early Christmas gift's

Did you copy the Pokemon game's English on purpose?
@@DasAntiNaziBroetchen This is LoTR english, ok? Mind the differences
Listen, at 6:30, this old man is literally the *CBT Wizard* from Meme House! He's just carrying his staff instead of being unarmed as usual!

I love how the Pokemon knockoff translated "configure" as "rejigger." It's technically not *wrong*, but it's oh so funny.
Feels really weird to have Vinny give you several unintended shout-outs throughout the vid.

I gotta say those are some high quality drum samples in those "Cloud Bootlegs"
i straight up saw a totadile in that spritesheet
Why does the megaman bootleg have sound effects from gradius on it lmao
