"With the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U, Region Locked takes a look at another Nintendo game by one of Zelda's key developers, Eiji Aonuma, titled Marvelous: Another Treasure Island. Through our analysis of Marvelous' gameplay and its history, we hope to shed some light on why this game never left Japanese shores."

(Video upload date: March 19, 2017)



I was going through some more DidYouKnowGaming? videos[1] tonight, and I came across the above video about this game, which I'd never heard of before. Found a rom with fan translation of it and, finally, got it working on SNES9x. I normally use ZSNES for this kind of thing, but this game apparently doesn't work properly on ZSNES.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to really get into it right now, as I have to get up tomorrow at an ungodly early hour (for me, anyway), but maybe I'll give it a try later.

[1] - Which I've been sloooowly doing, off and on, for the past few years now, from least to most recent, and so far I've made it up to the 3 year old videos, which were probably the current, most recently uploaded videos when I started this. >_> In any case, they're all fairly interesting videos, mostly lore, behind the scenes stuff, Easter eggs, looks at games that were never released outside Japan (such as the above) or were never released at all, that sort of thing.
