Hey, I'm Zach!
I am a huge Nintendo and Persona fan and love sharing my passion of video games with others. I am fascinated by the user interface (UI) Design of games so I occasionally analyze the UI Design of video games. I've also posted my previous game development projects and made retrospectives of Nintendo games/consoles.

Amazing video intro.
Thank you! The Wii made me the gamer who I am today so I wanted to pay homage to its iconic disk channel screen. 😊
@@AquaTwist_ Right! Gamecube and DS did it for me.
@@AquaTwist_ I do love N64 too though.
this is such an awesome video. wish more people were able to see your journey. unfortunate that youtube algorithm hasnt pushed this video towards more people. hope you are taking advantage of NetPass!
Do Denpa Men Next! 🎉
I don’t know much about the game but I’ll take a look at it!
I can do this on the hshop for absolutely free
I think they used the switch keyboard when naming the Yoshi to prevent you from naming him a bad word
I never thought of that. That’s probably the most logical explanation.
I never noticed just how desaturated the original game's color pallette was until seeing them side by side like this, wow. I guess the mid-late 00s drab aesthetic reached farther than we thought xD Also, any Switch game that uses the Super Famicom button colors automatically gets points from me, especially now that most PlayStation and Xbox games stopped showing the button colors on their UI
Yeah, it’s annoying how a lot of games nowadays don’t show button colors on their UI. It can make button prompts more difficult to distinguish and less accessible for certain audiences. Also my footage doesn’t do the original game’s visuals justice, but it’s definitely more darker than the remake. Probably because I was playing on a Wii with upscaled resolution and not on an emulator.
@@AquaTwist_ I mean, I have played the original quite a bit on both a CRT and a modern TV, it's still definitely drabber than the remake. And yeah, as someone who hops around between all platforms but grew up with SNES, DS etc, if a game on Xbox tells me to press X or Y I'm probably sunk if it's not colored in xD
Just made me realize how weird it is that for Dooplis they have an ingame keyboard (that lacks the letter p for a while) but for naming the Yoshi they dont use it. Interesting.
Yeah, I almost thought about mentioning that in the video because I also noticed that inconsistency. I wonder if it’s because Nintendo treats that sequence as more deserving of the in-game keyboard than naming a main party member.
@AquaTwist_ I don't think it's a "more deserving" thing. I think it's more so the fact that I think getting rid of the P in the switch text menu would probably be impossible. The real question is why did they make a whole text thing for the freak in the sheet and not reuse it for Yoshi 🤔
What’s even weirder is that when you have to input a password in chapter 7, they reuse the Doo_liss keyboard. It’s strange -3-
@@DoctorMario606 I know that for the eShop keyboard for entering Gift Card codes they exclude specific letters so people don't accidentally type in the wrong characters (like O instead of 0). So it's definitely possible. Weird they didn't reuse it for Yoshi though.
@@mreverything7056 Yeah I just played Chapter 7 today and noticed that, so it's even stranger they didn't re-use it for Chapter 3.
Great video! After all these years, I still need to play this game, although, I'll probably be playing the original first since I'm a purest.
Thank you! The original still holds up very well, though I think the quality of life changes make the experience of the remake more enjoyable to me personally.
KZread just gave me a notification for this video. That would be so based if you just did a Splatoon 2 stream right now
That's weird, I thought that people wouldn't be notified if private videos were made public. I wanted to unprivate some of my 2017/2018 streams for archival purposes.
Switch 2 let’s go 😊
Switch 1
I cried too bro 🤌🏾🤣🥹
The last time I cried at a Direct was Mario Odyssey’s reveal at the 2017 Nintendo Switch presentation. I never thought it would happen again.
Omg so happy! 😊
I apologize for the chat cut-off during the stream. I tried to implement a solution for implementing the chat during the stream but forgot to turn it off when the chat actually worked. I'll avoid this for future streams.
A much better direct than years past. Also Metroid Prime 4!
Amazing direct, I 100% will be posting the Prime 4 reaction because it was legendary.
Update: I posted the reaction, definitely check it out! Should I post my reactions for the Mario&Luigi and Marvel vs Capcom reveals?
Cool Dab Bro! ❤
I was at work all day during this stream. 😭 I’ll have to watch the archive.
Damn, I'm sorry you weren't able to view the stream, hopefully the archive works out well!
Congrats on the 10 years Zach!
Thank you Piper, glad we’re still keeping in touch after all these years! Can’t believe I’ve made videos on the channel for that long now.
I usually hate asking this, but if you're able to share this video with others that would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the last few weeks juggling editing this video, developing Trillenium, and work, and it's been incredibly exhausting. Thank you, much love. ❤
I left some comments and liked it 😊
Thank you so much and good luck on the next ten years
You're welcome! I don't know what will happen to KZread and this channel within the next 10 years but I'm hoping for the best!
Seeing ZachCraft clips goes crazy
Still gotta get around to watching all the ui spy videos
@@matchingbird you should! I plan on making more over the summer, hopefully sooner rather than later. I’d recommend the Best Games of 2023 video since I talk about Persona 5 Tactica in there. :)
Yeah, I’m surprised I kept that series going for as long as I did.
I’m happy you got the opportunity to share your platform with others 😊
Thank you! I’m grateful to have this community and to have brought it back after years of being less active with creating content. Here’s to more videos coming soon!
Btw Tomodachi Life and Minecraft is like Tomodachi Life and Frozen. 🧊
That's a really good comparison, honestly. Except Tomodachi Life on its own is an incredible game that I hope gets a new game on Switch someday.
I love the wii start up screen intro! ❤ Update: Thank you for the Ultra Special Thaks! ❤
Thank you! The Wii is one of my favorite consoles so I wanted to pay homage to the Disk Channel animations for it.
Thanks for reminfing me of Jetpack Joyride. Fuck I miss that game, it was just so simple yet fun and charming.
I miss that game too, I remember playing it on the iPad back in the day.
I put my mask on watching this video so I don’t get cringe-19 😬🦠
If anyone here does not know yet, a KZreadr named Ross Scott on a channel named Accursed Farms started a campaign to take action to stop killing games.
I've never heard of them, this is a huge effort and I hope their channel gets more recognition as time goes on. Thank you for letting me know about this!
