[Tokyo Rain]

Wow thanks for the heads up. Watching it now.

Such a great idea for a show.

 

[V_Ben]

neat idea for a show. Will certainly watch it.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Entertaining, I liked it.

 

[ScHlAuChi]

Good stuff!

 

[Confused101]

Great idea and the first episode was well done. Looking forward to more of these.

 

[Raist]

Next up: reviving Aeris. Well, probably.

Can't watch this from work, but the idea sounds quite interesting.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Next up: reviving Aeris. Well, probably.

First time I hear this.

 

[luffeN]

this was really cool!

 

[VerTiGo]

So you're telling me the TriForce is actually in Ocarina of Time?

 

[Leonsito]

That was great.

 

[Oni Jazar]

When is Gametrailers going to support the iPhone?

 

[Shiggy]

When is Gametrailers going to support the iPhone?

They already do. It's the iPhone that does not support Flash.

 

[BigAT]

Cool stuff. Is there just the single episode right now?

 

[Oni Jazar]

They already do. It's the iPhone that does not support Flash.

Let me rephrase the question. When are they going to accept the fact that iPhone/iPad won't support flash and make a site/app that can let them watch vids?

 

[chubigans]

Cool stuff. Is there just the single episode right now?

Yeah, just came out yesterday.

Also within that channel is a gameplay video showing how they performed the experiment:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/chris-houlihan-pop-fiction/65247

I hope they do more soon. Very cool idea.

 

[Wario64]

Neat idea, and I never knew about that secret room so it's already off to a good start

 

[LCfiner]

cool idea. I'll be checking this out

 

[YYZ]

I'm not sure if I ever found that room, but I've beaten LttP multiple times.

Where does the exit of the room take you?

 

[Diablohead]

Nice, I love stuff like this.

 

[bluemax]

Maybe they can cover the stupid FF6 N64 demo that's been debunked a million times already, only by virtue of being on this site enough people will finally learn the truth and stop propagating that shit.

 

[Denzar]

Great idea.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Wow I didn't even know about that.

Awesome.

GT Has the best voice over guy for their videos

 

[Onion_Relish]

If they decide to do the Mew under the truck one and end up not finding it then they will be stupid because my dad works for nintendo and he says its true you just need 13 rare candies and a level 43 hitmonlee :lol

 

[chase]

Holy crap a show about gaming I might actually watch.

 

[aaaaaa]

I have personally found the room using the "popular" method. It's an error room that pops up when the room you're supposed to reach hasn't loaded in time.

 

[LiK]

Awesome, thanks OP.

 

[Steel Cog]

Heheh I knew it. I got into the room using the first method and being extremely lucky.

I heard it's basically a catch-all room for any link (lol) errors between rooms.

I told my friends about it and tried to show it to them, but never got to replicate it. :|

 

[Magnus]

Maybe they can cover the stupid FF6 N64 demo that's been debunked a million times already, only by virtue of being on this site enough people will finally learn the truth and stop propagating that shit.

Forgive me, I guess I don't know the whole story behind it, but wasn't it a brief battle system demonstration using 3D representations of Terra, Locke and Shadow from FF6?

 

[Steel Cog]

Forgive me, I guess I don't know the whole story behind it, but wasn't it a brief battle system demonstration using 3D representations of Terra, Locke and Shadow from FF6?

I also remember it using a mouse and the game not really being tired to any console, it was run on a PC.

I dunno the current status but there's the belief it would've been a FF7 for the N64 or something. I doubt people still believe that nowadays.

 

[Magnus]

Seemed like a tech demo on an early n64 prototype (or so I thought) of what Square could do with more advanced hardware. Like an indication of what 7 might've looked like.

 

[Nelo Ice]

If they decide to do the Mew under the truck one and end up not finding it then they will be stupid because my dad works for nintendo and he says its true you just need 13 rare candies and a level 43 hitmonlee :lol

i tried finding mew for so long playing blue version :lol

 

[Zonar]

I like it. It's entertaining.

 

[Arucardo]

Turned out to be pretty interesting, is this a weekly show?

 

[LogicStep]

Never even heard of that room. Pretty awesome show that they have here. Here's hoping that they keep them coming at a steady pace and keep em awesome.

 

[chubigans]

Tidy'd up the OP a bit. Hopefully one of the Gametrailers staff/GAF member will step in and tell us how frequent they'll be.

 

[Phhhh]

reminds me of this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maCSZFEPwzc

 

[Haunted]

Not a bad idea at all.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I have spent more hours reading about the damn room than I have tried to search for it :lol

 

[Shadow Red]

That is interesting. Could go up to 50+ episodes knowing how many crazy myths there are in games.

 

[Clipjoint]

They should do one for "Negative World (-1)" in Super Mario Bros.

 

[LiK]

they should do several games per episode. (yes, they'll drag it out this way, i know) a lil short but really fun to watch.

 

[Robot 492]

.

 

[rezuth]

Damn, I was trying to leave GT for GB but it seems they keep pulling me back in.

 

[Dunk#7]

I would like to see them tackle this myth/fact:


You can play against/play as reptile in the original Mortal Kombat on Genesis.

I saw it posted on several sites and tried to accomplish the crazy requirements, but failed. I was never able to accomplish this.

 

[Adamm]

Great idea, enjoyed that.

Hope theres many more

 

[ZealousD]

Next episode should be about Mew in Pokemon R/B/Y

 

[rezuth]

Let me rephrase the question. When are they going to accept the fact that iPhone/iPad won't support flash and make a site/app that can let them watch vids?

What are you talking about? I can see videos on on my iPhone using gametrailers.

 

[levious]

pretty sure it's true, but the impossible part is waiting for the crap to fly across the moon to know there's an opportunity... I remember there was some trick or code to get stuff to fly across whenever you wanted.

 

[scamartilhon]

Never heard of that room before. Good show, will keep watching.
