Not so much racism, more the attitude of the early video game industry. Early workers in the video game industry were treated like toy designers. You don't know who designed a certain Hot Wheels car or Hungry Hungry Hippos. That was the attitude with early video games, they were toys. Even the video game publisher Activision was founded to change this, as former Atari workers felt like they were treated as line workers, where as they felt more like artists and wanted to be credited for their work. Now that was a lot earlier than 2001, but this attitude stuck on longer in Japan. Video games were made by a company, not by individuals (which is true to an extent, the opposite can be seen in movies where the director and actors get all the credit for a work involving hundreds of people) and companies wanted to protect their own branding. Konami, Sega, Capcom etc. wanted people to buy the next Konami game, not the next Hideo Kojima game. Only in the late 90s/early 2000s did this start to change and people started getting fair credit for their work in games. If it took that long for someone like THE LEAD DESIGNER to get their fair share of acknowledgement, it's not a surprise crediting the announcer for what they saw as "the overseas version" was low in the list of priorities.

@adraedin

2 жыл бұрын

@@poika22 You reminded me of how the first easter-egg in a video game was created... The game was Adventure for Atari. The lead designer felt like he wasn't being given the credit he deserved so he hid his name in the code and made it appear across the screen if you satisfied the right conditions. The game was already out and it would be too costly to recall and fix so Atari left it in the game to be the worlds first easter-egg in a video game. From the Wikipedia on the matter itself: "At the time, Atari did not include programmers' names in the game credits, both to prevent competitors from poaching its developers, as well as to deny developers a means to bargain with the management of the new owners, Warner Communication."

Voice actors especially back in the 90s and 2000s are unsung heroes of many childhoods and they didnt get fame/recognition at all really. You put it very well in your outro This is important.

Hearing Brian Matt in the interview saying "Ready? Go!" hit an emotional nostalgia spot that made me tear up. I remember playing Monkey Ball after school for like 3 months straight. I still play it on an Emulator every now and then. Thanks for that Nick, and by extension Brian.

To me, this is a massive reminder for how big an impact a moment can make in someones life. Something that for Brian was 3 hours worth of work on a random day 20 years or so ago has become something that people care about enough to go on a weeks long investigative search, theory crafting possible answers, and even taking a flight out to Japan to solve. This was actually such an amazing search, and i could really see the passion, amazement and relief in your eyes when Brian said those lines, and it hit you properly that yes, this guy is the voice that you heard throughout your childhood!

nobody in 18 years thought to take eight seconds and realize the voice sounds absolutely nothing like patrick?

You know, he did something that seems impossible for most of us. This is not just a video of a guy finding the narrator of a monkey game, this video shows how you can do *everything* if you really want to do it and work for it. You can do *everything* if you dont give up. Thank you for this video, love your work

The way you work towards these projects and explain that to an audience, the careful attention to all of these amazing things you work out is a love letter to the passion and drive that started the video game industry as a whole. These videos are like opening a box you found in the back of your childhood closet , full of nostalgia and fresh perspective all mixing into a warm feeling as you admire things that had an influence as a kid, truly good work.

This guy's way of narrating his mystery-solving is so intriguing, I never had even heard of most of the games he talks about, the Rusty's Baseball (can't remember right the name, the Pappy Van Poodle one!) was only released in 3 countries apparently? Most of these games haven't even been released in my continent, and if they were, they are obscure as heck here. But I absolutely love watching his videos anyway. I see a Nick video, I click. He's amazing.

not even a monkey ball fan but dude… to find such niche things and/or people in all your videos, though i don’t always have a personal connection, is always so interesting

It's strange seeing something you can't just solve via a Google search in the information age. I also think it's sort of beautiful that even though this may have been just another role for Brian, his voice is still remembered by many to this day. Just goes to show how connected people can be even in seemingly trivial things

@barahng

I used to say "all of humanity's knowledge is a keystroke away". Thanks to videos like this, I now realize how wrong that notion is. There is an enormous amount of niche info that was just lost to time. Even events that happened a mere few years ago can be completely memory holed on the internet. A lot of things were just simply never uploaded. Until we all have cameras in our eyes and are just constantly uploading every bit of sensory data of every human on Earth, this will continue to be a problem. What's disconcerting is that we'll never know exactly how much data we've lost to its translation through time. Or how much we will lose in the future until said problem is solved.

@@barahng you know analog data storage is a thing right??? in fact, it's kind of obvious when you're talking to someone who gets all their information from the internet... the entire world and our entire reality was viewed *very* differently in the decades when very old books were written, so the information in these books is informed from an entirely different reality than the information posted on the internet... but that doesn't mean the 60s and 70s weren't a reaction to the exact same 1950s boomer energy we're all reacting to now. in fact, the Monty Python film The Life of Brian (1979) isn't just a satire of religion, it's also basically a feature-length manifesto for the post-leftist neoliberalism that started around 1980 and first started to publicly flaunt its own major flaws around 2008. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and most of the past is carved in stone and ink, not ones and zeros!

The way you tell stories and the music you add, all the suspense and surprise, just gets me so invested. I was genuinely interested in finding out who the narrator of this game was and I'd never even heard about it before.

Fun fact. Nick was clearly staying in Shibuya which is only a 10-minute walk from where I live. We will meet in Japan I hope during his next visit. This really did turn out to be an interesting twist of events.
