    I'll never forget the first time I played Seiken Densetsu 3 with the (still new at the time) fan translation back in the early 2000s. I have such powerful nostalgia of my first time playing that on our crappy desktop computer when I was a teenager. The feels are real.

    One thing to mention about the Slot Machine in Star Fox, is that it is actually an alternate final boss! One you get in the Alternate Dimension, there's no way out. If you beat the Slot Machine, you get a The End message where you can shoot the letters to your heart's content. But here's a rumor I read in a Brazilian gaming magazine back in the day: There something that you could do to the Slot Machine that would trigger another ship to appear and take you out of there. By the voice in the radio, Fox would recognize the other ship to be his missing father. Obviously it is not true, but damm I tried everything!

    Narrative-wise, it is heavily implied that Out-of-this-Dimension is where Fox's dad disappeared to. But I've spent hundreds of hours of my youth in that stage, and sadly there's no way to get a radio communication or rescue ship to appear.

    No.. It's totally real. Tupac and Steve Irwin showed me how to find Fox's father. After shooting the T in "The end" EXACTLY 64 times, and the D 46 times, he flies in riding on yoshi's back, and you gain control of his dad to battle a super duper secret boss; ganondorf flying a mechanical Luigi shaped ship. When you beat him, put in the konami code and then scorpion's MK 2 fatality, and then you unlock bill Clinton riding anything but his wife.

My dad recently passed away under dramatical circumstances and your last video was the first thing which succeeds to make me think about something else. I almost smiled at some point. Usually, I watch your video for pleasure but also to keep a link with the English language. I'm a foreigner and because of you, I know some idiomatic expression such as "make things go boom" :-) Please continue making vids like this, mate. It will never change the world but sometimes, you make a stranger smile in the darkest hours of his life. Thank you, sir.

Just goes to show how many weird stories there are from the early internet days, hah.

    "the computer really does cheat" I always felt that way about SimAnt and how the red ants always seemed to have some unfair advantages. Even when i played as soldier yellow and i always seemed to lose battles even against worker ants far more than i won them regardless of my energy level. The red ant queen seems to be able to produce far more offspring at full health than the black queen which seems to always be capped around 40 larvae or so. Having played the game recently, though, I found some exploits that made all of the scenarios and even the full game very easy.

    This might be another myth about Seiken Densetsu 3, but one I'd heard about the bugs is that some of the stats in SD3 don't work. Anyone who's played it knows that at some points you have to level up some stats because your others will be grayed out, but apparently some of those stats you raise don't change anything at all. I could see that taking awhile to fix along with the translation, so no surprise it was passed over. And that crazy NBA Jam one makes me just want to hear the announcer say "DEEETROIT BASKETBALLL" like they did back when they were serious contenders in 2004/05.

    If there was a stance on custom memory mappers Konami, Sunsoft, and Namco must've missed the memo because they had several. As far as the custom samples thing I figured that was people trying to explain why some SNES games used the same samples as Nintendo did but with bad composers it sounded way worse. Nintendo kept developers (supposedly maybe that's not true too) from using custom microcode for the N64 to improve performance in their games so it doesn't seem too unreasonable on the surface. Nintendo makes their money by ensuring that their customers buy their games the most. Third parties they politely tolerate to this day but they cut into the sales of first- party software.

    Someone already commented about the Seiken Densetsu 3 stat bug, but there was another noteworthy bug, at least on my playthrough of the fan translation. When two characters land attacks at the same time (maybe it was all 3 characters, can't remember), the attacks all register as 0 damage. I actually didn't realize it was a bug at first until I read a post about it somewhere online. I figured it was just a missed attack, or a visual glitch of some sort. That, along with the stat bug, seems like a pretty foundational programming error.

    You can play as the bosses in Street Fighter 2 on SNES with the Super Game Genie. They're discolored & I think the special moves are mapped to a single button if I remember correctly. It's actually pretty interesting though.

    Street Fighter 2 had a profound impact on my life. Once when I was a young lad, for the 6 months leading up to my 9th birthday I begged my parents (I mean BEGGED) for Game Genie. I wanted it for one thing and one thing only. Street Fighter 2. It was a different time, back then, commercials and magazines were as close to the internet as kids got. After seeing the Game Genie commercial I thought .... believed.... I fucking KNEW It could make Vega, Sagat, and Bison playable characters (Balrog was kinda "shmeh" to me at the time). My brother and I paid $75 for SF2 the DAY it came out, which after adjusting for inflation and the fact I was 8, is about $7,500 today. It was a beautiful game of course, but it wasnt complete. It wasn't Champions Edition. What I needed to do was find a way to upgrade or.... enhance a game I already owned, right? When I first saw that Game Genie commercial? Well naturally I thought my prayers had been answered. "Game enhancer" printed right there on the box. Literally what it was MADE to do. I try to forget what getting the Genie home was like that day. It wasn't easy to accept it's limitations, wasn't easy to accept how wrong I was. I even called the Nintendo help line hoping for additional codes. It cost my mom $1.95 a minute. Turns out Game Genie wasn't made by Nintendo, so $1.95 well spent. Life before the internet was a cold and bleak existence, but I learned a valuable lesson... "It's not what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure, that just ain't so." -Me. I made that up. -lol k Just kidding. It's from a movie called The Big Short -who's Mark Twain?

    There is another rumor for Secret of Evermore that needs to be addressed as well. For the longest time there has been a rumor that there are ways to buy Meteorite and Dry Ice alchemy ingredients in the game (you only get three of each during the entire run and they're only used for an alchemy spell that creates call beads). Only recently was it discovered that you could actually buy meteorite in the pirate ship, but only after buying the amulet of destruction and another rare item. A rumor that keeps persisting though is that you can buy Dry Ice in the space station where the professor hangs out but alas no one has been able to prove it yet.

    Hey SNES Drunk, Love your show! I think the sound mapper rumor refers more to the NES era. In JAPAN, companies (Like Konami, Capcom) were allowed to manufacture their own cartridges and mappers for the Famicom console, while the US forced force companies to use their standard cartridges and boards for the first few years of the NES' life. This is best seen in Konami games like Contra where additional layers of scrolling and effects are added to the game, and other games like Castlevania 3 where there are more layers of sound. This info is confirmed by The Cutting Room Floor.

    Sources Contra tcrf.net/Contra_(NES) The U.S. NES version and the Japanese Famicom version were both released around February 1988, suggesting that they were developed in tandem. However, the Famicom version had the advantage of using Konami's own self-produced VRC2 mapper, as unlike in other territories, third-party developers in Japan were allowed to manufacture their own cartridges and mappers for the Famicom instead of using only Nintendo's stock. This allowed the FC version of Contra to have many additional features, such as cut-scenes and background animations, that were not in any of the NES versions (which uses a standard UNROM mapper). Castlevania 3 tcrf.net/Castlevania_III:_Dracula%27s_Curse/Regional_Differences#Music The Akumajou Densetsu cartridge uses Konami's VRC6 memory mapper chip which, in addition to bank switching, supports three additional sound channels. When the game was brought to the US and Europe, it was made to use Nintendo's MMC5 chip instead. The MMC5 also supports additional sound, but the NES does not support the cartridge audio pin required for additional sound to work, so the additional sound channels were removed.
