DAY 37: https://youtu.be/3L5EpdtE9Ys Fun Fact: F-Zero’s designer, Takaya Imamura, watched the 1989 Batman film when he was in the US and wanted to make a game with American-style comic book heroes, hence the influence of the comic book style art in the original F-Zero and X

DAY 36: https://youtu.be/5WcyVvWZJU4 Fun Fact: This clearly sounds like early 2000s as it should haha. Shadow the Hedgehog was intended to just be an exclusive character to Sonic Adventure 2, but got so popular that became a fan favorite. Also, this was the last sonic game to launch on SEGA Console (Dreamcast)

DAY 35: https://youtu.be/hVUqPzd9T_s Fun Fact: Before the release of Persona 3's remastered version, this song was so sought after that lower-quality extracts from the trailers start appearing nearly daily claiming to be the "Cleanest version" for about a two months until it became a meme. This is the true cleanest:)

DAY 34: https://youtu.be/bWa6gVunVLE Fun Fact: DK country was initially pitched as a boxing game to highlight better its innovative visual style to Miyamoto and Genyo Takeda (creator of Punch-out!), since both are more gameplay focused rather than art-style focused.

DAY 33: https://youtu.be/yERQqvP0598 Fun Fact: The fire emblem characters, Marth & Roy, are part of the Super Smash Bros roster since Melee. Nevertheless, it wasn't supposed to be like this on all international version, but only for the Japanese one. The localization team liked them so much, though, that they stayed.

DAY 32: https://youtu.be/UziSlFEG50s Fun Fact: In the Spanish version of the original Paper Mario: TTYD, Rawk Hawk is actually called "Hawk Hogan" in reference to Hulk Hogan. This doesn't happen afaik in any other version, although in the German version he's called "Aurelius". Maybe because of Marcus Aurelius?

At last. ♥️

DAY 31: https://youtu.be/4HH3JOvxANk Fun Fact: Two versions of Soul Calibur II were made: One for the Gamecube which includes Link from the Legend of Zelda, and another one for the PS2 which included Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken franchise.

DAY 30: https://youtu.be/YRuof4wp_uo Fun Fact: Most names in Deltarune are anagrams of names appearing in Undertale (which is itself an anagram for Deltarune). This includes, maybe less noticed, the case of Deltarune's protagonist, Kris, being a combination of Undertale's prot. Frisk and Chara (first fallen human).

Crazy! I just found out of this example of manual code injection, byte by byte, of flappy bird source code into Mario World all just from controller inputs and some glitches to manipulate memory slots https://youtu.be/hB6eY73sLV0

DAY 29:https://youtu.be/0hEYvdMoF2g Fun fact: It was recently announced that a 'recompiled' version of Majora's Mask (see here:https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/Zelda64Recomp) can be produced from official game assets, and soon the same for OoT. This basically means both games will run natively as executables on PC!

DAY 28: https://youtu.be/N7QSavYWEE0 Fun Fact: This plays during a triple boss fight, each boss representing a member of the band, which when defeated, gets its instruments removed from the track dynamically. Similarly, they respectively intensify under certain circumstances. This is a common technique in Hades OST.

DAY 27: https://youtu.be/pZfIH2Z0e98 Fun Fact: Metroid Prime 1 was Retro Studios's first launch game, since all previous attempts were canceled. Its indisputable success solidified them as Nintendo's biggest western subsidiary at the time.

DAY 26: https://youtu.be/3SyM8oThJvk Fun Fact: Mettaurs, the most iconic enemy of the Battle Network Series (which, in the context of the game's narrative, are cyber virus), are based on dataminers, the type of actual virus, hence why they have a mining pick and a mining helmet.

DAY 25: https://youtu.be/g0kClF_5I8M Fun fact: Ar Tonelico is known for its hymns, whose lyrics are usually in an artificial languaga called the ヒュムノス語. This language was created by Akira Tsuchiya, the composer of the music itself. This song here is not a hymn, but a town theme; great nonetheless.

DAY 24: https://youtu.be/TiWJVqc84Nk Fun Fact: While not that known as a racing game, Ridge Racer revolutionized games in multiple ways: First racer game on PS to have 4-player split screen, first to implement Gouraud shading smoother textures (:P math nerd, sorry) and also have this great acid jazz soundtrack!

So, basically "Nintendo Switch 2" just got indirectly announced

@sonatatips I read that your are working on some bugs that causes the indexer to miss some shares. Thanks for that! I wanted to report this case too, since I am using SoundCloud's shorter link format and it may be another edge case that needs to be considered
