  It&apos;s an old joke that all &quot;game facts youtubers&quot; tend to repeat well know information. This vídeo and the wonderswan one really brought so many new facts i never heard about. DYKG is really making a difference in gaming jornalism. Keep uo the good work!

  When I heard about the Dragon Quest game with motion controls being made for XaviX, I said to myself &quot;Hey, wait a minute, wasn&apos;t there a Dragon Quest game on the Wii that was made exactly like that?&quot; And lo and behold, it was.

  I&apos;m glad youse are covering the history of non-Nintendo consoles recently, even if the history over them overlaps with former Nintendo developers.

  Honestly, I&apos;m aware of the XaviX after stumbling across via Wikipedia every now &amp; then, but had no idea that it was made by former Nintendo employees &amp; that Gunpei Yokoi was not the only one to leave Nintendo &amp; create his own gaming hardware, glad you&apos;re covering their story &amp; giving them the recognition they so rightfully deserve, even if their stories are being lost in time unfortunately

  OMG, I had the XaviX Lord of the Rings game... It was fun at first, but it broke pretty quickly. Even when I was holding the sword perfectly still, the game recognized it as wildly swinging in every direction. Recalibrating it didn&apos;t help.

  This idea of the &quot;consoles&quot; not coming with the chips kind of remind me of the Famicom and how it was designed from the start to be &quot;upgradable&quot; by chips on the cartridges. Since he worked on it, it might have been an evolution of the idea.
