I knew they started with hanafuda cards, but I didn't realise Nintendo was founded before *sliced bread.* that just doesn't seem right to me.
i like mario games
I did not know about the missing no
This iceberg gets crazier and crazier.
What is the link for the iceberg on Reddit?
One of my favorite Nintendo facts is that Kirby won a Grammy (sort of). Last year, the 8-bit big band got a Grammy for their arrangement of meta knight’s revenge from Kirby superstar! Not technically an official Nintendo music release, but still it’s pretty cool imo. Also the iceberg was great!
Thier FNAF and Portal Covers are Dope
2:01:45 I would like to state that in this case the people who wear sombreros and ponchos IRL (Mexicans like yours truly) never claimed cultural appropriation of any sort for this, most of us were in fact quite happy with this representation as it was done in a very tasteful and friendly way and some of us even went out of our way to show this costume and the guitar playing clip to friends and family. The outrage was caused by twitter users (big surprise I know) who claimed this was "cultural appropriation" giving us another great moment of white people crying foul when it was none of their business when it comes to topics they should just keep the frik away from such as cultural appropriation that isnt their own and racism when its in any way you look at it, cute, fun and quirky and with not s single ounce of malice in it.
lol
It’s not just white people. It’s just as racist to assume that. I see people of all races doing this shit. Black Americans and white Americans are pretty equal on how bad they are with it
You're right, that if white people see something that another race might be offended about they should let that culture speak up about it, but a lot of "mexican americans" also talked badly about it, the second generation mexicans who lived in america all their lives, never spoke a word of spanish and engross themselves in a white american culture while still claiming to have mexican roots even though they're not mexican, they're only american at that point, those people also cried and complained about it while no one else seemed to have any problem with it. Idk what it is with second generation immigrants to america and having "being offended at things and being racist against white people" as one of their core personality traits, but it's gotten old very fast.
One thing that a lot of people also miss when discussing the "mew under truck" thing is the fact that the truck is a unique asset of not one, but four sprites. Sprite limit was so limited back then that you had to mirror, recolor and reuse a lot of sprites purely to make a game fit on the tiny cartridge. This means that if that truck truly had nothing on it, that would be some valuable data being wasted on absolutely nothing which is unheard of in any other part of the game. That's a huge part of what made mew under the truck so compelling, and back then we didn't know that gamefreak was actually made up of bad coders, so them putting in useless data that actually did nothing didn't seem like the kind of thing they'd do
2:17:00 the "left facing Swastika" has its own name to distinguish itself, its called the "Manji" and its a prominent part of japanese culture as its often used to depict the afterlife such as cementeries and Budhist Temples, it is also featured in the Pokemon TCG in japan in the Trainer card "Koga's Secret Technique of Transformation" the card however was never released in the west and another prominent feature of the manji in popular media is the anime "Tokyo Revengers" about a young man sent back into his teen years to find a way to infiltrate the top spots of a delinquent gang so he can prevent them from murdering his love interest in the present, the gang's name is "Tôkyo Manji" or "TôMan" for short.
the card was released in english as Kogas Ninja Trick, not sure where you got your information from 😂 look it up
The nazis tainted and corrupted an once sacred symbol it seems
@@itaiko5498The Nazis co-opted pretty much everything in those times, Christianity, Catholicism, art from many cultures, Darwinian evolution. Evil cannot create, only corrupt. So none of those things the Nazis stole are their own, only their corruption.
First of all. "Woashy. It's a double yoshy exploshy" is awesome.
I feel bad for knowing basically all of the facts seen on the video, however, this is a truly good work and I love every second of it!
I haven't finished the video yet but I can already tell it'll be a great one. A fact that I learned is that Yoshi was planned to star in splatoon.
2:24:50 while some may argue this may be black face its more likely to stem from a very popular fashion in japan some 20+ years back called "Ganguro" in which the mostly pale japanese girls would go overboard with makeup, spray on tan and even bleach their hair to look more "western" this was an actual well liked fashion style back then and there is a lot of documentation on the matter online. In fact one of the first and most popular games in newgrounds back in those days is Ganguro Girl (careful as this game is an adult oriented dating sim.) and if you are to image search "Ganguro" you can find many examples of japanese women using this style. Id say the biggest giveaway of this being mostly based on Ganguro would be the timing. As during the development of Red and Green Ganguro fashion was at the peak of its popularity and Nintendo would never put a decisevely negative racist stereotype in their game, a least not on purpose.
I've heard of that before. Considering Nintendo has cultural references in their games with tanookies, kapp'n miis ect, it's no surprise jinx would be a Japanese cultural reference of its time. I would argue that anyone who gets morally outraged by misinterpreting media and art are guilty of what they accuse another of doing because they are expressing what they see on their salience landscape. Kind of like those arbitrary images a psychologist shows and the patient describes what they see is how I look at it.
This is a really good video. I thought I knew a lot more about Nintendo before I watched this. I learned so much 🥶
Glad you enjoyed!
@@SwitchStop how long did it take you to record/research and edit this video?
We started in June, so about 5 months 😅
True sequel to 1,000 Nintendo facts!
Well done guys, this was a fun watch/listen.
Can’t wait for more weird videos like this ! New sub right here 🎉
I'll give Kirkhope one thing... At least the DK Rap didn't have a single "My name is _____ and I'm here to say....."
I had a pink XL ds as a child. I had it until my brother broke it in half. I think a cool fact about Nintendo was that it stood the test of time and endured two wars. It really is great!
I didn't know practically ANY of this stuff, so thanks!!
1:39:32 I’m impressed that so far all the ones in the deep section i actually didn’t know, nice edit: lots of really good facts after too i had no idea about
1:44:40 Also it wasn't even Porygon's fault, it was Pikachu who caused all the seizures, but they had to protect that damn rat...
i think it was just the name of the episode, which mentioned porygon in it, that might of confused some people, maybe?
@@koiyune definitely! but that doesn't change the fact that the actual culprit is the damn "mascot" 🤮
i remember having those GBA video carts. the shows were super compressed but it was cool having those shows on the go
Very impressed that this iceberg covered a lot of Nintendo stuff. I would ask anyone who is new to Nintendo to watch it.
1: 11:34 it was also referenced in the second alvin and the chipmunks move 2: 46:09 the lawyer they used for the suit was named john kirby and to thank him they named kirby after him.
Another theory on the Hell Valley Sky Trees: According to Mullet Mike from Creepy Gaming, they are based on kodama (Japanese mythical nature spirits that are said to live in trees)
i recruited one in shin megami tensei 3 nocturne 15 years ago on my old ps2
I watched the whole thing in one sitting, great video!
Hope you had some popcorn :)
2:13:44 not big deal. It's JAPAN. They don't view nakedness as "evil" or "disgusting" (which are American beliefs). Nakedness is viewed as a sign of "purity" in Japanese culture, so it was normal to see these kind of gags in manga or anime back in the 90s (EVEN before).
The belief of some Americans, not all
I clearly meant American culture BACK IN THE 90s... I'm not talking about you, I don't even know you.
Nintendo probably can’t do anything about PETA since it would be considered parody
I can’t believe that the N64 DD was the first Nintendo console to connect to internet! It’s crazy to think about how far games and consoles have come…
especially at the time when the internet was still pretty much in its infancy.
Very good iceberg overall! If I could add ONE entry though, it would definitely be Shinichi Shimomura.
The last part you said about Jynx was wrong
As another commenter pointed out, it's more likely to reference ganguro as the style was popular in Japan at the time of Pokemon red and green. The style had to do with wearing excess makeup and have bleached hair.
Out of all these interesting facts, Night Trap being on the Switch after the Chairman stated it would never be on a Nintendo system decades ago really made me laugh.
Great vid!
i like this video, i learned a lot of new facts, (i do not know much about Nintnedo)
Nice Vid! 😊
38:04 thought of the orginal because i still have one even though the top screen isnt really attached to the bottom screen anymore
I had the fat DS. Never had any of the other ones(though my little sister did). I loved mine! It was so different. Had some good games, like Nintendogs, and Metroid. Stopped using mine, because they had a defect. The screen was so heavy, the hinge holding them to the to console part would snap, and so I couldn't open it anymore without it coming apart!
12:56 “the first controller made for aliens”
Awesome vid
My favorite factoid is that Bowser is canonically a good father.
1:08:04 When the Party Royale mode was remotely new, Epic Games collaborated with a lot of DJs. With the collaborations, the DJs sent videos of them playing their music, displayed on huge screens found around the island (like the one kirby was on) Im guessing that since it was only a trailer, the trailer editors put in any in-game clips they had, coincidentally including the DJ's video that included Kirby
It really hit me that radar scopes failure was helpful. I did not think of it that way!
Linkle is not a female version of Link, she's an obsessed fangirl that wants to look like him. She is also not canon and not a Nintendo creation. Hyrule Warriors was made by KT, the same people who make all the Warriors games. Nintendo had nothing to do with the design or development of any of its characters. Also, she wasn't added because of fan demand. There was concept art because she was a long planned DLC character.
Nintendo Switch having games blew my socks off.
And also pietro I remember watching the super mario bros super show and seeing him I had no shoes.
Great video. It covers pretty much everything related to Nintendo. Obviously there are still many other interesting topics that could've also been mentioned, but the iceberg's already so large and you gotta draw a line at some point.
Woahshi it’s a double Yoshi Exploshi! 😂
43:12 It’s him. Driving the bus.
My body is ready to watch this
Very higher than average quality for these iceberg videos man.
Crazy to think we got out of stock digital games before GTA6
I love these Nintendo facts!
small correction on crow 64, he did make a game for it! its fully playable too, i think.
Bro, why am I so hyped up in the first 30 seconds of the video?
38:10 I thought of my light/bubblegum pink DS Lite that I had when I was a little kid :3
plusle and minun as a team like ice climbers? yes!
The nintendo ice looks pretty berg.
Lol I don't know how I didn't see it before, the but the wii remotes hitting tv compilations are great.
i watched this video in one sitting, and started in the afternoon and finished at 8:03 PM
Deserves attention
Fantastic effort from you guys! Throughly enjoyed it. If there's one thing I'd like to point out is that I don't think Gunpei Yokoi was the inventor of the Tamagochi? But a different guy named Yokoi.
41:09 *Top Gun Memories Theme*
Wasn’t until 12:08 just now when I realized there are three guys who do this channel…
Funny that the fat DS came up here, I actually bought a pristine condition one recently for $60 and couldn't believe just how nice it felt and looked. Maybe it's just that I have bigger hands but I suppose that lines up with my own preference of the Wii U Gamepad over the Switch tablet. One of these days somebody's gotta mod a Switch into a Wii U Gamepad shell, would be very neat.
fun fact: in Mario Party Superstars, the tug of war minigame returns, along Sith a WARNING to not use the palm of your hand to spin the control stick😂
Epic video
7:34 HOLY SHIT, another hard to beat boxing champion called Matt besides Matt Turk!? God have mercy on us
I was wondering why soooo many videos use the Mii channel music for background music. It sends me back to 9th in my head every time I hear it
12:40 this was for the GAME & WATCH!!!!!
what ya'll said about "bird" types not existing in pokemon red/blue is incorrect. they did exist but it was changed to "flying" in later games.

Lol i’ve also been working on my own ultimate nintendo iceberg for quite a while, with everything related to nintendo i can find on it and im still working on it currently
Really good video btw
Dude the 90s had to be a trip if you were so bored on the train you pulled out your calculator sir
I love the dk rap
52:40 nah that made me smile tho
26:58 this exact melody comes from an old Peruvian show called Pataclaun. It's pretty much the same lol. Weird.
I got 1 in the depths, 3 in the deep, 1 in the abyss, and even 1 on the sea floor
15:14 bro SMG4 lawsuit arc approves 😂 15:14
The sensor is peak Trauma Center material
45:05 Kirby was marketed this way in America likely to make Kirby seem "less cutesy" to male youth, correct me if I'm wrong. 47:50 I remember hearing about this that Nintendo DID INDEED sue Peta for their games. I haven't been able to find any concrete proof but I do know for one it's probably something along the lines of "satirical parody" and whatnot. They infact did respond after a callout from Peta for Tanooki suits when Mario 3D Land released.
Hey, wave 6 is out! Do a Mk8 booster bass tier list.
So glad u spoke on the smb super show because it feels like a fever dream
Just wanna say I love you !
@@IsraelLlerena ????????
So Many Secrets!
1:08:53 is that Vasko Games? Thats so funny
woah/wow thats crazily a good video
Thanks! Glad you enjoy :)
It's my sleepover, I get to choose the movie
34:00 My bookmark
good video
a vitality sensor would be great for a horror game that detects your heartrate
BOOKMARK 1:33:43
How does the iceberg not include Samus death animation from Super Metroid. It’s believed that Samus is seen fully naked in just one frame
This video is making me realise I've watched wayy too many nintendo videos on youtube
why did I know about the nintendo corn parodies
Could use the vitality for stressful game or game segments, it could pause til you calm down or something. My friend has a controller somewhere with teeth marks in it, can you say hilarity. I think it was a metroid game...🤔
48:28 Uuh look what I have, King *DEDEDE*
I never thought I’d want to know so much about a company…
26:58 🤣
In 1:19:52 you can see Plutonium box from back to the future!
What is the song at 1:44:05? Seems familiar but can't place my finger on what it is and it is annoying me
Lost kingdom (Mario Odyssey)
Here’s the link :) kzhead.info/sun/aNxulaltaHuKeGg/bejne.htmlsi=nu4r55VtHjG6p7SZ
Dk rap is 🔥
I got a switch ad before this
12:34 I believe that he came up with the Game & Watch when seeing a man play with a calculator, not the Game Boy
It’s likely the Switch eShop music isn’t used cuz the eShop already struggles HARD on the switch 😂
the gs ball plot was used in books
