Oops. Can I ask for this thread to be moved to the appropriate one (The Mario one), please?

EDIT: Thank you.

This is awesome!

At 0:34 they show the infamous "Parabeetles and Grass" screenshot that was used on the back of some SMB3 boxes:

Sweet! I'm gonna point that in the annotations, thanks!

Mario Chat / Early Beta Footage of Super Mario Bros. 3 dated Sept. 1988

Because this game is serious business and important, and I like sharing.

Originally found on Nico Nico Douga titled, ファミマガVideo創刊9月号 (Famimaga Video September), I stumbled upon this while searching for media on Mother 3 for my Shat-Canned Legends Documentary.

The video shows the various differences of this early version to the final that my annotations go over. For one, none of the levels are recognizable (except perhaps one particular part), and the HUD is different.

Very interesting stuff, especially upon seeing that these 80s Japanese game videos are from a completely different, and simpler era.

Original URL: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13196307. Because I don't want to take all glory credit for this, as the video was originally uploaded and found on Nico Nico Douga. I just wanted to spread this video to the western hemisphere. Enjoy.

Fan Creations / Can't Bonus This Jungle (Crash 2 + MC Hammer) (May 29, 2011), Musical Mash-ups

« on: May 29, 2011, 12:07:38 PM »

Hi, TMK. Here is a music mashup of Crash Bandicoot 2 that I thought you all would enjoy too. I'll just drop this here.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-R5wFo1cw" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-R5wFo1cw</a>

It's a music mashup of the famous MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This, and Crash Bandicoot 2's Jungle Bonus Round put together to form Can't Bonus This Jungle.

I developed this a few months ago, but never got around to uploading until now. They sound quite similar together, don't they?

Here's the "cover art" for the mix:


Have a good summer.

Fan Creations / Music Mashups - Lonely Dungeon Man Band (Reprise ver.) (5/21/11)

« on: May 21, 2011, 08:39:00 PM »

Having not done one of these in a while, this yet another mashup called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Dungeon Man Band (Reprise ver.). This time consisting of EarthBound's Dungeon Man theme, mixed with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [sic] by The Beatles.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8afaVIcMX-s" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8afaVIcMX-s</a>

The music mixing was the easiest, but all the art did take a while to edit (expect the last piece that is the Abbey Road cover, which I did two years ago during my time at Starmen.net forums).

Enjoy the art too:

Fan Creations / Music Mashups - Nothin' on Evening Star (1/10/11)

« on: January 10, 2011, 02:37:25 AM »

At long last, here's my take on Sonic music! Well Knuckles, actually. What you see here is a mash-mix of Evening Star from Knuckles' Chaotix and Nothin' on You from B.o.B., you know, that song that is still in the Top 20 charts today.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUX4uHn50fk" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUX4uHn50fk</a>

You won't believe how much trouble it was putting this mix up. It may not sound like, but I inverted the original song (Nothing on You) specifically for this video, that's how I dodged the audio disabled crap. For now, anyways.

I highly advise, no I insist of downloading the untainted version here, MP3 link.

Enjoy the art-mash too.

Video Game Chat / What does Hideki Kamiya know about Rockman DASH / Mega Man Legends?

« on: September 18, 2010, 12:20:56 AM »

http://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/24820780249

Hideki Kamiya is a former employee of Capcom, responsible for  Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry (The first one), Viewtiful Joe, Okami,  Bayonetta (he was one of the Clover Studios members that left). He  posted this on his Twitter recently. It's known that he still is in  touch with some of his old co-workers at Capcom, including Mega Man Legends series, Mega Man Zero series, and Dead Rising director Yoshinori Kawano .

When I got my reply back from Kamiya-san (I am OKeijiDragon BTW, the one who asked him about DASH), I was perplexed. I was like "HOLY [dukar]".

Plus around that same time, he posted a picture of him and Kawano san at the TGS that's happening right now. I thought the timing was interesting too. He also said to believe in Kawano-san.

Wonder what all this means?

Video Game Chat / Resident Evil 2 - Nintendo 64 version

« on: July 26, 2010, 02:00:44 AM »

So about four months ago, I got Resident Evil 2 - N64 version for dirt cheap at eBay for $4.25, and so far I feel that I've got my money's worth.

Recently, I thought that I might as well record myself playing through it and offer my commentary on ii just for the heck of it in the best possible quality presented, with the Expansion Pak and recorded through S-Video!

In this playthrough, I went though the game on the Claire A / Leon B scenario with both A ranking, no spray-cans, no saving, with a time of "03:03:30" & "03:43:57", respectfully, with some of the N64 options turned on. In this same run, I happened to unlock 4th Survivor. There is however, a chance that I'll redo the entire Leon B scenario again from the ground up for time, integrity, and quality purposes.

I understand that there exist a LOT of Resident Evil 2 playthroughs and videos, but at the same time there's not a lot of good quality videos of the N64 version. I'm adding commentary to this video run. Not vocal commentary (thank god for us all), but more like annotations that will consist of nerd trivia, jokes, personal reflection on certain parts, pointing out oddities, opinions, and more! If you are interested, rate my vids and subscribe! Also, PEMNAS stands for "PLEASE EXCUSE MY NOOB ASS SKILLS". I invented the term myself.

So far I've already completed the Claire A scenario of my run, but I have plans to start the Leon B scenario.
For now, I'd like to present parts starting from Part 0 through Part 19!

Claire A Finished:
Part 0 - Leon A - Opening + Leon A Failure
Part 1 - Restart: Claire A - The Terror Begins + Robert Kendo
Part 2 - Claire A - Marvin Branagh & Licker
Part 3 - Claire A - Brad & the Special Key
Part 4 - Claire A - Library + Outdoors
Part 5 - Claire A - Herbs Are Awesome
Part 6 - Claire A - N64 Costume + Marvin Dies
Part 7 - Claire A - Chief Irons + Sherry Birkin
Part 8 - Claire A - Sherry's Adventure
Part 9 - Claire A - The Press Room
Part 10 - Claire A - Death of the Psycho
Part 11 - Claire A - Penis-Headed Monster
Part 12 - Claire A - Raccoon City Sewage
Part 13 - Claire A - Annette Birkin + Giant Ass Alligator
Part 14 - Claire A - The Marshalling Yard + Factory
Part 15 - Claire A - G-Birkin Battle + Underground Laboratory
Part 16 - Claire A - G-Vaccine + Annette's Fate
Part 17 - Claire A - Escape From Laboratory with G-Vaccine
Part 18 - Claire A - Third Malformation Of G
Part 19 - Claire A Finale + Credits + Special Note From Me

COMPLETE!

Leon B:
Coming Soon! REAL SOON.

--Now about the N64 version--

The Nintendo 64 version is known for, at the time, its technological breakthrough in inserting two 600+MB PlayStation CDs worth of (redundant) data in a 512Mbit/64MB cartridge. This port, done by Angel Studios, also features some additional exclusive content, including a new control scheme (dubbed "First Person Controls") an "Item Randomizer", a Violence Adjuster, and Blood Color Adjuster. But of course, for the last two you would always want the maximum amount of violence and pure red blood in any horror game, right?  Other features include new costumes made by Angel Studios, the developer that ported RE2 to N64 alongside Capcom, and the new, detailed EX Files.

The graphics actually look somewhat better than the PS version, there is very little clipping on the character models and they're smooth and feature no blocky-ness. Unlike the Saturn port of RE1, Capcom didn't sacrifice the character models much to work with Nintendo 64. The SAT version had some ugly models, IMO.

Anyone have a copy of this game? I think this is overall the best port of the game I've played yet. I wanted to get the GameCube port, but 1) It's overpriced a bit 2) It doesn't have the features that the N64 version has 3) The controls for that port kinda suck from what I read.

Anyways, I will be updating this thread whenever I get more videos and commentary done. Stay Tuned!

Used Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes for Sega Dreamcast (NTSC). Free shipping. Starting bid at $0.99. I don't want it anymore. Need the money and the sequel is loads more fun and accessible. Awesome beats though.

Fan Creations / My greatest mash ever (6/13/2010)

« on: June 13, 2010, 06:11:19 PM »

Welcome people to what is perhaps my greatest mash-up since Fresh Prince of Nowhere.

I bring you, Macbeth Be Startin' Somethin'.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bvujA_MIJU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bvujA_MIJU</a>

(It's Michael Jackson's Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', and Star Fox/Wing's Macbeth.)

By the way, this is the "cover art" for the mash-up.


I hope you all enjoy.

(BTW, can a mod combine the last few posts of this thread of mine with this one, to reduce the clutter?)

Fan Creations / Who is Staff Roll? (5/19/2010) Musical mash-ups

« on: May 22, 2010, 02:05:41 PM »

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOv3qZ2QH9w" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOv3qZ2QH9w</a>

This is a mash-up of Michael Jackson's Who is It, and Mega Man 8's Staff Roll (Credits).

This one has actually been in the works since February, but with education, real-life, and current projects including Shat-Canned Legends, PEMNAS, and others taking priority, I just haven't been in the mash-up scene for a while. Now, I'm finally releasing this to the world!

Staff Roll composed by Shusaku Uchiyama.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_IeQhzZqHg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_IeQhzZqHg</a>

I made this short mash-up of Gecko Yamori's Sonic 4 Classic Arrangement of Splash Hill Zone Act , and lyrics from Lady Gaga's Just Dance.

Just a fun thing I considered doing cause I really enjoyed Gecko's arrangement very much. =) I hope she/he doesn't mind. Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCtXDkMX9Ss

Also note the cam footage of Sonic 4's Splash Hill by KaminUkiki, here on YouTube known as Blue Hog Quatro en Wave Valley Land Act Uno, which was pulled from Sega of Europe very recently. Credit for said footage goes to him.

Fan Creations / Re: Post your YouTube info here!

« on: March 07, 2010, 02:51:38 AM »

Finally, I get to make a video series of this, and after a year of waiting I finally get to try my hands on playing as Mega Man Volnutt, Zero, Frank West, and Viewtiful Joe. And their all awesome too!

Here's part one already:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miPLlOzeHJw

In this series, I'll be playing through Survival mode to see how far I get in the game. As the matches go on, it gets increasingly harder. One thing I must point is that... I AM NOT AN EXPERT AT THIS GAME, you'll definitely see me spamming some moves at some parts of the matches. Please note that this game was played with the Wiimote.

As I venture through the game's survival mode, we'll be listening to a plethora of other game music to allow a different, unique musical experience. The soundtrack for this game is totally awesome and all, but it never hurts to expand the playlist >U<.

The following music featured in this part include:

(1:08) Vs. Frank West & Viewtiful Joe
♫ Medieval Mayhem ~ Sushi Temple (Ape Escape)

(2:45) Vs. Jun The Swan & Ken The Eagle
♫ The Flutter vs. The Gesellschaft! (Mega Man Legends / Rockman DASH)

(4:14) Vs. Tekkaman & Saki
♫ Flying Battery Zone Act 2 (Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles)

(5:44) Vs. Joe The Condor & Karas
♫ Area F (Mega Man ZX)

(6:53) Vs. Batsu & Polimar
♫ Under Construction ~Wow Wow 70's Mix~ (A NiGHTS Remix - Another Dream)

(8:46) Vs. Tekkaman Blade & Kaijin No Soki
♫ Uncharted Region of China (The original track ; Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom)

I hope you guys enjoy this run as much as I had, and I hope maybe you'll learn something from this series, just as I have learned from other, more experienced players.
