That's really cool.

 

[Chris Michael]

I've known this for like 2 years now. /2l33t4j00

Still interesting though. I <3 Nintendo secrets.

 

[Wario64]

So how did they find this out? Wait 2 minutes on each screen in each game?

 

[jj984jj]

Totaka's an awesome composer. Wish Nintendo would use him in some great games and not Animal Crossing.

it is

 

[Stitchy]

Fun find, sir.

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah, AC isn't great.

 

[Mejilan]

Yeah, I know OF this, but not the nitty gritties for all of these titles. Very cool.

 

[adg1034]

That's cool.

 

[Mejilan]

OK.

 

[adg1034]

I didn't see that it was a 7-minute long video, didn't get it at first, then saw that it was a 7-minute long video, and got it. Carry on.

 

[puck1337]

I love it when people do stuff like this (hiding things in games, though the compilation of footage is nice too).

 

[DECK'ARD]

I like stuff like this.

 

[BocoDragon]

Neat. I've known about the Mario Paint song since forever, but I had no idea that it was (or was about to become) a recurring secret song.

Waitaminute.... I do remember that in Mario Land 2 as well from when I was young....

 

[adg1034]

Hopefully it'll be hidden in Twilight Princess (Amir0x can even try to find it, since we all know what his "secret" Wii game is, don't we...)

 

[jj984jj]

Hopefully it'll be hidden in Twilight Princess (Amir0x can even try to find it, since we all know what his "secret" Wii game is, don't we...)

Why would it be in a game he isn't working on?

 

[Mejilan]

Maybe you have to point at Link's wii with Navi, and fulfill her dream from OoT to get the song in Twilight Princess.

If he is indeed even working on the game, of course.

 

[Johnas]

That is really cool.

 

[crashen]

In Luigi's Mansion, isn't that the tune that Luigi would hum or whistle from time to time?

 

[unifin]

Wait, Amir0x has a "secret" Wii game?

 

[BorkBork]

I don't know how people can find this type of stuff. Cool easter egg though.

 

[adg1034]

Why would it be in a game he isn't working on?

I haven't seen the credits for Twilight Princess, so I wouldn't know if he was/wasn't working on it.

 

[Tornado Condor]

that last part with Zelda DX song is awesome

 

[evilromero]

Wow. I'd be interested to find the motif in LM and P2. I love both those games so wouldn't mind searching for them.

 

[Illuminati]

That's pretty damn cool.

 

[Dreamfixx]

That's really neat. I would have never found any of those :lol

 

[Drakken]

That is SO awesome. It's amazing that people found where the song is in all those games (especially Yoshi Touch & Go). I wonder where else it's hidden.

I'm happy he showed where the song was in the Japanese version of LA DX. Pretty cool.

 

[Senretsu]

man that is ****ing sweet! I've encountered this too, always wondered WTH?

Never heard of this show but it was a great review of this secret, nice studio guys.

In luigi's mansion Luigi will whistle it either if the room has been cleared or not, I can't remember (I think he whistles it, its been a long time since I've played it).

 

[Jonnyram]

What's this show, btw?
I'd like to see some more.

 

[Kaeru]

great thread.


The guy whose presenting this, isnt he playing the older brother in Napoleon Dynamite? :lol

 

[RevenantKioku]

In Luigi's Mansion, isn't that the tune that Luigi would hum or whistle from time to time?

YES!
I can clearly remember this even though I've only heard the game being played.
The only one I actually "knew" was the Mario Paint one, but it always freaked me out a little.

Ahhh, it's been a while, but no? Not even close?

 

[Mike Works]

Who's the guy hosting that video?

 

[jj984jj]

That was a nice EBA/Ouendan comparison. Would've been better if they somehow went to one of the fusion tour shows and captured one of the new stages instead of comparing that downloadable demo everyone has already seen.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I just watched a video review of a guy eating Nintendo Power Mints, so I guess they've got quite the range.

 

[Dreamfixx]

I just found it on my Super Mario Land 2 cartridge. I died 5 times and left the Game Over screen up for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and sure enough there it was. It's kinda creepy, actually.

 

[Tornado Condor]

wtf the demo is only two parts ;_;

 

[jj984jj]

wtf the demo is only two parts ;_;

Is it? Then how did people find out about all the new songs?

 

[Tornado Condor]

Is it? Then how did people find out about all the new songs?

yeah the EBA demo "walkie-talkie" level is only two parts.
and what do you mean all other songs? Highway star and (maybe) livin' la Vida Loca?

 

[jj984jj]

Oh, you were talking about the downloadable retail demo in the video. Yeah, it only has two parts, this is probably why there is also no single-cart play in Ouendan (aside from the tutorial). I thought you were talking about the demo on the Nintendo Fusion tour, which has new songs and levels we haven't see so far. Someone already posted the updated songlist somewhere on this board.

Edit:

Ahoy Mates! Sunken Delights and Adventure! - Y.M.C.A. (Village People)
A Pug's Life! 400 Miles from Home! - Highway Star (Deep Purple)
Magic Meets Madness! The Show Must Go On! - Rock This Town (Stray Cats)
Trio of Mayhem! Love and Boyfriends! - Walkie Talkie Man (Steriogram)
Red Carpet Premier! Smash Hit or Box Office Crash!! - Makes no Difference (Sum 41)
Cry Wolf! Meterology and Parenting! - September (Earth, Wind and Fire)
Hey Taxi! To the Hospital and Hurry! - Sk8er Boi (Avril Lavigne)
Art and Beauty! Love and Happiness!? - I Was Born to Love You (Queen)

So far the only other known, confirmed song in the game is Livin' La Vida Loca (Ricky Martin). If the U.S. song list is to be comparable to the import counterpart, stacking in at about 15 songs, then there is still a small chunk of songs to be uncovered.

 

[Tornado Condor]

OMG!!
those songs fit the EBA style

 

[NotWii]

Those secrets are awesome, most games don't have nice little secrets like that anymore

 

[DrGAKMAN]

Metroid II (one of the greatest games of all time) has a "secret song" as well and it SORT OF closely ressembles this "secret song". Just start the game up, wait a good minute & a half at the title screen and a slow soft intricate song plays. It's one of the coolest tunes in any GameBoy game, though short. If this is his doing then this pre-dates even Mario Paint.

 

[Kiriku]

Wow, this is intriguing...didn't know about it at all. Love secrets like this.

 

[Littleberu]

Those secrets are awesome, most games don't have nice little secrets like that anymore

It'd be fun if a game had a fhuta mini-game, don't you think!

 

[thetrin]

Cool stuff. Love to see if it continues.

I can confirm this. I remember started the game when i was a kid and leaving it at the title screen while i was cleaning up my room, and then THAT music started, and it creeped me hardcore!

Whoa. Anyone know of a recording of this?

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Checking it out now. I'll have a recording of it soon.

Edit: It's not the Totaka-song, but god it's awesome.
