Nintendo Suffers a HUGE Leak and Gets Caught Emulating Games Video Game Esoterica 2024-10-15 | SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : http://www.patreon.com/VideoGameEsotericaLast week two very interesting things happened; 1) Nintendo got caught using emulation at the Nintendo Museum in Japan...and the GIANT Game Freak leak occured...the teraleak! So let's do a Nintendo emulation video...since Nintendo seems to think emulating their games is fine? Even retro game consoles! Nintendo hates emulation...I thoughtNintendo Museum Credit : https://x.com/i/bookmarks?post_id=1845639913200398345 - ChrisMack32Nintendo is back at it with their Nintendo shenanigans because as of two hours ago the final Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx was taken offline! Some back room deal occurred between one of the Ryujinx developers and Nintendo and all active development has ceased at the Ryujinx GitHub repo has been deleted! and this is after the Nintendo Palworld lawsuit...Nintendo is REALLY on a roll here. Emulation lawsuits are a danger to everyone...but this is different!and the track record of Nintendo suing everyone is below in the description!Nintendo has sued every Switch emulation maker they can get their hands on (Yuzu emulator is gone, Suyu emulator is dead, Sudachi DMCA is a mess) and DMCA's Vimm's Lair and a ton of other sites...but what is their end goal? It all leads to Switch 2 and the Switch 2 hardware and Switch 2 rumors...I think?This is a follow up video to last months video: Did Nintendo DMCA attack Vimm's Lair? Or were DMCA trolls involved? Lets find out! Because it turns out it WAS Nintendo and their partners that send the metric ton of takedowns to Vimm's Lair and Nintendo's emulation fight continues on...most likely due to iPhone emulation and retro game emulators on iPhone now being a thing! Plus Nintendo sent MORE DMCA takedowns to the Super Smash Bros modding community...and now the ESA and Sega are joining in too? WOW (or the Sega thing is trolling?)Questions? Comments?

The Rarest Castlevania Game! Castlevania: The Arcade Video Game Esoterica 2024-10-14 | SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : http://www.patreon.com/VideoGameEsotericaConsidering it is the 35th anniversary of the Castlevania franchise...what better way to celebrate than to do a massive retrospective on every mainline game ever released from Konami. From the NES 8-bit originals to the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, PS2, Xbox and beyond! Because Castlevania is retro gaming royalty and it's only fitting we pay it some tribute!and its October 2024 so you know what that means...its horror gaming time! LPBut what about Castlevania: The Arcade? The Konami arcade exclusive arcade game that is rarer than gold? Well...why not!Castlevania: The Arcade is a massive arcade cabinet released in 2009 by Konami that is near to impossible to find. I have a PC PCB that can run it but I've never found the image...until now! And wow...it just runs on Windows 10 with a few tricks. Video Game Preservation for the win! But we need your help as controls are a bit tricky! But if you ever wondered what it would be like to mix Castlevania from Konami with The House of the Dead from Sega...now you will see :) or you could just go play Vampire Night from Sega on PS2...kinda the same concept except earlier lolBut as far as rare video games are concerned it doesnt get much rarer or more obscure than this! Video game history and video game preservation all rolled up into one delicious Dracula sized bite!Thanks to my Discord forum members Dremcast and powergyser for helping make this video possible today! Join my discord if you want to help!Join the discord if you want to help get controls working. Link below!

You can also play it on MiSTer FPGA on the MiSTer FPGA Genesis core or the MiSTer FPGA Mega Drive core...and of course on a console...but however you play it...you SHOULD play it!

It's actually a product Panasonic / Matsushita sold at retail as an interactive kiosk unit ala the Philips CD-I. Unlike the CD-I...this actually has games you would want to play...because this is just the 3DO M2 console in it's final hardware iteration...except not released as a games console! But that won't stop it from playing SOME games today...and hopefully a LOT more in the future!Gaming is filled with obscure hardware but it does NOT get any more obscure than this! (ok MAYBE SNES CD) It took me ten years of active searching to find an FZ-21S1TK...but I found it and now I get to show you all! It would have been amazing to see M2 take on PS1, Nintendo 64 and even Dreamcast.Plus we have the Panasonic FZ-35, a 3DO M2 with extra RAM, a DVD Rom Drive and a Hard Drive built in!And of course the arcade board from Konami with Battle Tryst, Heat of Eleven 98, Total Vice, Evil Night and my fav game on the platform...Tobe!

It's actually a product Panasonic / Matsushita sold at retail as an interactive kiosk unit ala the Philips CD-I. Unlike the CD-I...this actually has games you would want to play...because this is just the 3DO M2 console in it's final hardware iteration...except not released as a games console! But that won't stop it from playing SOME games today...and hopefully a LOT more in the future! and the same with the Panasonic FZ-35S which is also a 3DO M2Gaming is filled with obscure hardware but it does NOT get any more obscure than this! (ok MAYBE SNES CD) It took me ten years of active searching to find an FZ-21S1TK...but I found it and now I get to show you all! It would have been amazing to see M2 take on PS1, Nintendo 64 and even Dreamcast.But it did become an arcade board from Konami with Battle Tryst, Heat of Eleven 98, Total Vice, Evil Night and my fav game on the platform...Tobe!

He trained in part Fumito Ueda who would go on to create Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian and in many ways would go on to shape the history of video games through his narrative structures and experimental gameplay techniques.Sadly Kenji Eno passed away early but he left behind a legacy not only as a video game designer but also as an accomplished musician and composer...and also a bit of a hilarious trollUp first: D's Diner on the the 3DO. The Directors Cut of D that also released on PS1 and Sega Saturn. One of the most influential video games in my opinion and a perfect example of early horror gaming.Questions? Comments?

But that won't stop it from playing SOME games today...and hopefully a LOT more in the future! and the same with the Panasonic FZ-35S which is also a 3DO M2Gaming is filled with obscure hardware but it does NOT get any more obscure than this! (ok MAYBE SNES CD) It took me ten years of active searching to find an FZ-21S1TK...but I found it and now I get to show you all! It would have been amazing to see M2 take on PS1, Nintendo 64 and even Dreamcast.But it did become an arcade board from Konami with Battle Tryst, Heat of Eleven 98, Total Vice, Evil Night and my fav game on the platform...Tobe! Polystars!Questions? Comments?

Nintendos Sues Everyone! New Palworld Lawsuit Details Video Game Esoterica 2024-09-25 | SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : http://www.patreon.com/VideoGameEsotericaPalworld was just announced as a New PS5 game at Sony State of Play and yet it's missing from one very big region...Japan! And that's because Nintendo sues Palworld and the parent developer for copyright infringement...in Japan! At least there are a lot of new PS5 games coming and fun Sony state of play announcements out there!Nintendo is back at it with their Nintendo lawsuit shenanigans as they announced Nintendo is suing Palworld and the parent company Pocket Pair Inc for Patent infringement based on their hit game Palworld! It's a Palworld vs Pokemon showdown exccept you wont be using pokeballs...it'll be fought in the court of law! Nintendo news time and Nintendo lawsuit time for Palworldand the track record of Nintendo suing everyone is below in the description! this time its not Nintendo vs Emulation though!Nintendo has sued every Switch emulation maker they can get their hands on (Yuzu emulator is gone, Suyu emulator is dead, Sudachi DMCA is a mess) and DMCA's Vimm's Lair and a ton of other sites...but what is their end goal? It all leads to Switch 2 and the Switch 2 hardware and Switch 2 rumors...I think?This is a follow up video to last months video: Did Nintendo DMCA attack Vimm's Lair? Or were DMCA trolls involved? Lets find out! Because it turns out it WAS Nintendo and their partners that send the metric ton of takedowns to Vimm's Lair and Nintendo's emulation fight continues on...most likely due to iPhone emulation and retro game emulators on iPhone now being a thing! Plus Nintendo sent MORE DMCA takedowns to the Super Smash Bros modding community...and now the ESA and Sega are joining in too? WOW (or the Sega thing is trolling?)Questions? Comments?

A MUCH Needed Sequel! Ridge Racer Revolution on PS1 Video Game Esoterica 2024-09-25 | Ridge Racer is one of the best arcade racing game franchises of all time and Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer 2 are some of the best racing games for arcade gaming IMO. It’s retro games royalty and rivals what Sega did with Daytona USA. It’s one of the best arcade games of all time! but if did get moved over to PS1 with the original Ridge Racer and we got a sequel not long after with Ridge Racer Revolution which gave us entirely new tracks and more Ridge Racer on PSX!SUPPORT THE CHANNEL : http://www.patreon.com/VideoGameEsotericaIt's high time we talked about the Ridge Racer franchise on the channel, as its basically one of the most successful video game franchises ever made! But this is Video Game Esoterica...so we are going to be talking about this Ridge Racer retrospective a bit differently. From Ridge Racer to R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 to Rave Racer and Rage Racer with stops along the way for the PSP Ridge Racer Games, the Xbox 360 Ridge Racer 6 and of course Ridge Racer 7 on PS3! Plus more!PS1 was my first 3D console ever and I still fondly remember it as being one of the best pieces of retro gaming hardware around!Up next: Ridge Racer Revolution on the PS1 and PSX. Sure the arcades had a ton of awesome racing games and some would even be considered arcade hidden gems but IMO the original Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer 2 are some of the absolutely best racing game around...and Ridge Racer Revolution is an extension of that!Namco had a TON of awesome games on PS1 and had a ton of awesome arcade games in the Ridge Racer franchise but the original Ridge Racer is the most special IMOQuestions?
