Funny how Nintendo is so anal about copyright but they were rippin off other games near their conception.

Thank you, videogamemonkey
@ericeman Says:
Was that... Nardwuar??
@B1ryan23 Says:
The irony of Nintendo stealing licensed artwork for their game and not facing consequences but now suing anyone for making emulation or fan projects because it's stealing their licensed product.

0:17 Correction on your comment for the Picture Cutter - These are not scissors. The endpoint is a blade made of a thin wire, heated by AA batteries to cut through Styrofoam, not papers. I know it's hard to imagine unless you actually see how it works.

actually an American localizer asked a Japanese developer on a phone asking what the name of the game was, and the Japanese Developer answered in a thick japanese accent "Monkey Kong", but because he answered and a Japanese developer. The American localizer easily mistook it for "Donkey Kong" and that's how Donkey Kong got it's name
@winderps Says:
Ahhh yes, the first Strand type game

Dunkey tried to sneak the Human Serviette by us. Not me. I saw him.

Who else would Nintendo call if not Nintendo Miyamoto??

I needed a trigger warning for the half second of Justin Trudeau 😭

this video is a masterpiece
@kolibrick4830 Says:
I love that Miyamoto went from not knowing what the fuck he was doing at all to making one masterpiece after the other
@chickenvasquez78 Says:
I love the picture in the beginning with Muhammad Ali punching Pete Best and The Remo Four.

0:34 nardwuar and justin trudeau using the hip flip is an insane pull
@bluebaron6811 Says:
The reason Donkey Kong has his name is because back when JP to EN translations were sketchy, the people making DK wanted to name him the equivalent of "Stupid Kong". Someone thought "ass" was a synonym for dumb, and oh, guess what ass is also a synonym for?

2:48 “Why was this completely unproven man selected to direct a $800,0000 video game?”
“Well because he had won a contest.”
This made me laugh more than it should have! 🤣

Here I am in 2023, zelda totk beaten, and hearing they had an extendo grabber toy in the 1960s before they made games called... the ultrahand...Nintendo is so amazingly earnest and true to their roots.
@seanbaker6476 Says:
Nintendo's "Ultrahand" getting a new lease on life in TotK 😎
@PurposefullyTCG Says:
Love the Michael Jackson image for "1980", so fitting
@bread7171 Says:
Why was the prime minister of canada playing with the hip flip?
@butcherjsy8 Says:
I like that Nintendo named an ability in the new Zelda after The Ultra Hand, nice nod to their past!
@Rizon1985 Says:
Donkey begin too young to remember the awesome Donkey games on the Game&Watch. If those wouldn't have sold ten millions of copies, the Game Boy would have never existed. The 3 donkey games were among their top sellers and it's doubtful it would have been popular enough for Nintendo or others to see a solid future in handheld gaming.
@mastershake8018 Says:
I"m not gonna lie, I want that bowling toy.
@kylecresswell0478 Says:
I was not expecting the old school video of Justin Trudeau in this video. Had to doubletake it cause my brain was clearly playing tricks on me by saying my Prime Minister was in a Nintendo comedy video
@isaacj.elliott6497 Says:
Another masterpiece
@mrvaporiz Says:
Hey look!, It's the new ability for Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
@RipPvt.Jenkins Says:
I wish dunkey would do 1 hour documentary style vids on video games sometimes, I could listen to him for hours. (I Know he will never do this, given he likes to do more short form content but damn man I’d watch the shit out of him if he did some documentaries.)
@paperluigi6132 Says:
This video was also well needed to really get out there that even Miyamoto was a guy with no experience at one point.
@AlexGarcia-me6md Says:
It was 5 beans
@StormSpotter342 Says:
I lost it at making Donkey Kong a metaphor for corporate culture.
@LP-zo4rz Says:
I like how you added that Shenmue music in the video 😂
