The very first game that was developed buy Ubisoft was called "Zombi"
So that kind of means that "Zombi U" is actually not a new IP but part of a franchise.
Mind blown
Does that explain the spelling?

Billy Mitchel's tie in Donkey Kong Country Returns!
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Goombas in Mario are based on chestnuts, not mushrooms. Rocked my world.
There are prickly goombas in NSMBU just like chestnuts.Mentioned. The ones in Mario World are chestnuts, others are mushrooms.
Did the narrator really just call DK's tie an "artifact" of clothing instead of "article?"
I can't watch those without being annoyed by the voice. If English isn't his first language, that would explain a lot of the unique aspects of the voice.
Donkey Kong Country Returns is FULL of little nods
lol i think its just a nerd accent rather than a foreign accent. And I agree does make it hard to listen to, if you're doin semi-professional shit with alot of subscribers on youtube then you should get someone else who can speak fa christ sake.

That plastic piece at the beginning of the strap.
wii is just a flash card confirmed!
While probably everyone on earth knew about this since months, I just discovered there's actually (supposedly) a Mirror's Edge 2 in the works. Not gonna lie, I had wet eyes while reading about it.
Alright, you can have your thread back.
ZombiU is a followup to that game from 1986, yes. That game was heavily inspired by Romero's 1978 movie Dawn of the Dead. Dawn of the Dead's international title used in many European countries was... Zombi.Mind blown
Does that explain the spelling?
he's american from washington state so i guess he has odd speaking habits.
i've seen a few of his videos linked here before and his voice didnt bug me but the donkey kong one stands out. when he says poplar instead of popular it made me do a double take. weird inflections is one thing, skipping entire syllables is a no no.

That thing in the middle of the lanyard that keeps both sides together is shaped the same as the old NES controllers.
What's up with this thread rehashing things that were known almost as soon as the Wii was released(the shape of the connectors/Wii & the Wii Golf holes being the same as NES Golf)?
A rectangle?
Now and then we get people postinf cloudbush as though it's not the reason this thread got so big in the first place.What's up with this thread rehashing things that were known almost as soon as the Wii was released(the shape of the connectors/Wii & the Wii Golf holes being the same as NES Golf)?
Nice one, man.
Please post more if you've got 'em.
As a resident of WA, I can confirm that no one here talks like that.
Unless he's from eastern WA, but those of us on the west side of the Cascades don't speak of such places...
But yeah, "poplar" threw me for a loop as well.

Bullshit, I remember seeing this thread go up like it was yesterday, I posted on the second page. No way it's that old.This thread has only been around for... five years... holy shit. There's a fact that blows your mind, right there.
[...]upon getting word from Nintendo that they were developing a CD-ROM adapter for the Super Famicom, we decided to start a project in a different direction from Final Fantasy IV, which at the time was in the middle of development and was touted as a next-generation RPG fitting the large storage capacity the new cartridges had. The development codename for the new project was Maru Island, and we were making it as a collaboration work with Akira Toriyama-sensei after we established contact through Shueisha. I frequently ran back to the office just to receive and look at the screen mock-ups that Toriyama-sensei did in the initial stages of the project.
Despite that, the CD-ROM adapter was never completed. Once everyone learned that the CD-ROM adapter was never going to see a release, they decided to abandon everything that had been planned for development since the very start, including Toriyama-sensei's contributions, and decided to revise the project in order to make it release into a ROM cassette. We said that we would wait for the CD-ROM to make a collaboration project with Toriyama-sensei, but when it was revised, it actually became an entirely different project with an entirely different direction. That was what later on was completed into the game we know as Chrono Trigger.
Thanks to the high speed of the ROM, it was possible to seamlessly make the action visible in the field without the need to make a transition into a battle screen. But in the end, the new RPG I wanted to start making one that didn't have a command-style battle system (Motion Battle System) and tested the reflexes of the players wasn't a title that existed at the moment.
Upon seeing that my goal was to make an action RPG, and learning that an ARPG was the next game we were going to make, I decided to make it into a sequel for Seiken Densetsu, so we reestructured everything to use the world setting we had already from the previous game, and Seiken Densetsu 2 was finally completed.

some of the most classics

Ever noticed how the boy and the girl from Secret of Mana look like the boy and the girl from Chrono Trigger?
I wonder how many people missed the fact the girl is an elf?
Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger coming from the same planned project?
WHOA!

Not to compare music once again, but I always felt that the "Manoria Cathedral"-theme in Chrono Trigger sounded like it belonged in Secret of Mana:

just read the gyroids in AC are very similar to haniwa, funerary objects that would be buried with the dead
so basically, you can find gyroids by profanating someone's grave. Yuck!
