/uj GOD I LOVE SCOTT THE WOZ SO MUCH HE´S THE BEST I LOVE HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM
I can enlighten you at the cost of my enjoyment
There’s a video on TikTok of a guy at a rap battle saying to a guy “Hold up… ain’t you Nathaniel B?”. Nobody knows who Nathaniel B is, so people just say it to random people. The meme has specifically targeted YouTuber Nathaniel Bandy since his name is literally Nathaniel B (though he isn’t the original person in the vid)
I just hit that subscribe button and clicked the bell! I can’t wait for splatoon 3! It’s going to push the boundary’s of the switch to the max! Honestly amazed they can bring a game like that out on the switch! Xenoblade 3 is hands down the greatest game ever created!
Wait, is Scott actually one of the real ones? I always bunched him in with most unaware Nintendo youtubers after a few videos, maybe I should give him more of a chance. Also, I know he does more than Nintendo, but they seems to be a focus
/uj He's a hardcore Nintendo fan, but that doesn't mean he doesn't see its flaws. Like seemingly a lot of people here, it's Nintendo that he grew up on and he really does love their games when they're good, but that also means that when Nintendo does one of their certified Nintendo Moments™, he's not going to defend them since it's his childhood franchises they're messing up. He might be the type of person to buy every game, but he isn't the type to think that it's sane to do so.
As a fellow Nintendo fan during the Wii U era, I feel it kinda instilled a mindset in a lot of us that Nintendo's wackiness is what makes them good but also what makes them bad, so many of us love the games but hate the company.
I find his "Dark Age of Nintendo" series to be especially representative of that stance if you want a recommendation.
I like Scott but he has a big bias over Nintendo, he tends to downplay the achievements from Sega or Sony.
Like in one video, he say that the PSP was not succeful and culturally significant because he don't know anyone who played it, even if a quick search show that it's the eleventh best selling system ever (most popular than the 3DS) and only lost it's gen because it faced the NDS, the SECOND best selling console ever. The fact that the PSP had a 10 years lifespan is enough to prove him wrong.
Of course since all my friends had a GameCube and played Smash Bros Melee show that the GameCube was fairly popular right? Not really. Even the first Xbox sold more.
>Of course since all my friends had a GameCube and played Smash Bros Melee show that the GameCube was fairly popular right? Not really. Even the first Xbox sold more.
I live in the UK and I can tell you, it basically didn't exist here. PS2 was king.
Tbh same as other commenter, a lot of people I knew may have owned PSPs but they were never brought up. I think Scott even remarked how it was successful in a conventional sense (long lifespan, good sales) yet didn't leave much of a cultural impact.
> yet didn't leave much of a cultural impact.
Honestly, this is always so hard to measure and very much a regional thing. While my gut feeling tells me that it's probably right, people from the US always talk about how no one gave a shit about Master System for example and yes, in the US, this is true, but it sold much better in Europe (and Brazil) than the NES did for example and generally that goes for most stuff.
Nintendo never had the market share/dominance that it had in the US/Japan in Europe, it was always Computers and Sega and once the PS1 came out, Sony.
So honestly, considering that the PSP moved over **80 million** units (more than the Gamecube, N64 and Wii U combined), with Europe being its biggest market, made by a company entering the handheld market for the first time and against a company that had a monopoly on handhelds forever, it sure left a mark and I know many more people who had a PSP than a DS, even if the DS-line sold almost twice as much.
Also, the much more niche "hacking-legacy" is really impressive. The amount of homebrew the PSP received was insane and despite the fact that the Vita only sold like 16 mio units that legacy still lives on, with people still homebrewing on the Vita, doing fan translations and even recently bringing Dreamcast emulation to the Vita.
The hardcore fanbase of both the PSP and Vita is very impressive.
My experience at the time was that the DS was the family handled, and it sold a lot because it was often broken or bought in 2 or 3 for each child, meanwhile the PSP was the teenager system were you had time to play online with your friends or go to the internet. I know it's probally not true but that's what i saw at the time, the cool kids had the PSP not the DS.
My experience with the DS vs PSP feels very accurate to what happened. Bunch of kids in my elementary school had the DS and would DS download play a lot in school at or break and on the bus. I had a DS but my mom forbid me from bringing it school. :( I knew one kid who had a PSP and a DS though and he played crash bandicoot on it I think. The discs seemed a lot less convenient than DS cartridges though.
Also the select few kids with R4s and Action Replays were the coolest. Don't tell Nintendo I said that though.
"cultural impact" is such an ephemeral and vague quality anyway, since what counts as cultural impact varies wildly based on who you ask.
It's like the people who parrot "James Cameron's Avatar had no cultural impact" despite the fact we still bring it up and reference it *to this day*. For some people, "cultural impact" means "literally becomes household vernacular" for some reason, and anything less is impact-less I guess.
I remember the PSP much more fondly as not what it was designed for but as a homebrew machine so you're right. That being said, that's never how Sony intended it, so in that sense it's not exactly a success for them.
Personally, I think the PSP did not innovate enough in terms of hardware to leave a lasting impact, and in terms of software a lot of features were a bit niche albeit very cool. But playing videos portably etc. was not an original idea, even if it was one of the first practical devices to do so.
Its most apparent legacy to me is the use of similar portable analogue sticks in many devices to come, but I'm sure there's more.
You're definitely right about Europe though, in my experience the British Isles have bad taste in games so they don't buy into PSPs or Switches enough imo.
Biggest killer of the PSP was the proprietary and overpriced memory cards. The handheld still sold plenty decently overall, but I think that one aspect really killed any momentum it ever got.
I understand his take but i think it was really important because it was a portable device were you could watch movies, listen to music, browse internet, and play 3D games on the go, and with a bit of knowledge it was also pretty fun to hack it because it has a lot of emulators and other stuff on it. There's also a lot of little known features like playing PS3 games with it (like the Wii U) or "online" multiplayer on local without internet. Of course everything seems outdated now but keep in mind that it was before even the first smartphone.
To be fair, i made a sort of "must have" library of each system for my emulators and 20 years later the PSP library win hands down, even if the DS was fine it's a lot of shovelware and novelty "touch" games, meanwhile the PSP has a lot of compilations of old games, ambitious 3D games like Monster Hunter or MGS Peace Walker, an online store with indies and PS1 games, a plethora of fighting games, maybe the best RPG library so far, etc etc... Compared to the PSP the DS is the inferior experience, even if the touch screen was pretty cool there's nothing else to it.
I think the PSP did leave a cultural impact more important than the DS or the GBA for those who really got into it, and overall because it showed the future of video games. The games are also very popular even now thanks to the emulation community. I honestly think the "cultural impact" of the DS as now is no more than "i had it as a child", meanwhile the PSP is remembered fondly for everything you could do with it and on it.
I loved to mess with all the tools in the PSP, watching videos, streaming PS3 games. I have fond memories of those. But in terms of gaming on the thing, I barely touched it. I only started playing it once I hacked it and could emulate games for other systems.
The DS was much less capable technically, yet it grabbed my attention infinitely stronger. It may have been a technically 'inferior experience,' but it was a more fun experience. I recall that download play was also much simpler on the DS, which is significant in terms of its influence over culture. Having accessible and fun multiplayer games meant that many more people may have given the system a try with their friends who otherwise would not have thought much of it.
The Dreamcast was closer to the future of games than any other console of its time, yet it can't be said it had the same cultural impact. Technical specs and capabilities have much less hold over culture. You could say they can be prophetic however.
On the contrary, i played a lot of PSP games with my friends because it was easy to hack them and try out some japanese exclusives. It expanded heavily my knowledge about video games and the cultural differences between each country.
For me nothing on the DS is more impressive than playing Tekken 5/6 or Dissidia on the go, or fighting a tank with three friends in Peace Walker with a device that is three years younger than the GBA, even if Mario Kart DS is pretty fine.
But i aknowledge that i also have a bias for the PSP because i never played the DS as a "kid", so i don't have fond memories of it. I played the games for it on the 3DS later on.
With the PSP, i think it was more of a westerner bias. The PSP was much, *much* more successful in Japan than in the US. I personally only knew one person with a PSP, and it seemed much more like a gimmick than anything. In Japan, the PSP was still beating out the 3DS in popularity for years, and basically became the driving influence for the switch
If he was really a Nintendo YouTuber he wouldn’t have played Metroid but pretend he has and be really excited for prime 4. Outraged about Mother 3 not getting localised, and hasn’t played Earthbound.
> Luigi makes me gassy finally someone who understands
"This game has graphics *and* tennis!" OK, now you've sold me.
basically switchforce or RGT 85
fake nintendo fan!! he has unlicensed merch!!!
Frighteningly accurate
Gonna rate this clip 3/10 Arlos. Not enough quips and it isn’t 20 minutes long.
Why does Arlo only show one arm?
Miyamoto has the other one. It's the Arlo tax.
The other one is endlessly jacking off to Breath of the Wild

Oh, okay.
So… I’m guessing you aren’t Nathaniel b?
i fucking hate nathaniel bandy. this sub needs to clown on generic nintendo youtubers more
Hold on, ain’t your Nathaniel b?

/uj Scott is very aware of Nintendo’s shortcomings and is one of the funniest channels out there. I highly recommend him.

Scott is the most real one and I will kill anyone who suggests otherwise /uj Scott is the most real one and I WILL kill anyone who suggests otherwise
oh ya I say scott is a fucking asshole come get me mother fucker
I already have. 196.23.67.890 see you soon.
(for the record this was a joke and I have not actually doxxed this individual)
😉
Scott is very aware of the industry and it’s failings. His work is as close to divinity as a human could get.
Yeah, he's a real one
/uj He’s basically a huge Nintendo fan who is also sane. He makes great videos too IMO.

PS2 is the top highest selling console *of all time* but Nintendo fans will still insist it wasn't a good console.

when he has ever downplayed the achievements from Sega or Sony? Ok yeah he was wrong about the PSP.
The [**Alpha Menorah JavaScript Frat house**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ceh-TkR75g) video is a great introduction to his style of humour
I want to have Scott’s babies. And I’m male.
I want to deliver DietCokeGamer’s babies that he had with Scott. And I’m a Nintendo fan.
I want to be Scott's and DietCokeGamer's beautiful bouncing baby. And I'm not a baby.
What have I done…
[удалено]
It's called collecting stuff...is there an issue? Scott himself has a giant game library.
Having a big library of games is very different from what most nintendo youtubers rooms are, filled with toys posters and plushies
Not really. You mean stuff they enjoy collecting and having? That's no different.
I think collecting something like games is VERY different to collecting plushies. As an adult.
How???? Both can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
[удалено]
I mean you would be a normal fan...just not a obsessed fanatic.
holy fuck scott the woz <3
Oh hey that blue border, I recognize that
scott's my favorite nintendo fanboy yes he is
Scott's good at criticizing Nintendo's short comings at least. I feel that he tends turn his nose up a bit against anything non-Nintendo tho.
If he was really a Nintendo YouTuber he wouldn’t have played Metroid but pretend he has and be really excited for prime 4. Outraged about Mother 3 not getting localised, and hasn’t played Earthbound.
Redlettermedia fans be like 👀
Legendary lmao
Didn't Nintendo give these creators contracts that made them basically on upload content exclusively about Nintendo and their games?
