The North Korean Gaming Console

We see some comments and posts stating that Studio SEK did not work on The Lion King, but rather, they worked on an Italian spin-off called Simba the King Lion. It is certain that they worked on Simba the King Lion, but it’s impossible to say with certainty (As with most things regarding NK) that they did or didn’t work with Disney. However, we didn’t make a mistake in our statements. Here are some articles that led us to believe that they worked with Disney for a period of time: culture.ifeng.com/abroad/200811/1129_4088_900193_1… m.haiwainet.cn/middle/345646/2014/1203/content_214…

Seeing Linus call Kim Jong Il a furry was certainly not something I expected to experience on a Sunday afternoon.

1% Console, 99% Spyware.

It's worth noting the original Wiimote itself didn't truly have a gyroscope and used an accelerometer instead. This was the reason for the introduction of the Wii Motion Plus accessory which added a gyroscope. Some Wiimotes made late in the console's life did come with Wii Motion Plus integrated into the unit. The Wii itself also used remarkably primitive hardware even for its time, having only 88 MB of RAM, a PowerPC CPU slightly upgraded from the GameCube's and only a 512 MB flash memory chip for storage. It was closer to the technology of the 6th gen than it was to the Xbox 360 and PS3 that it competed against. Still sold like hotcakes though.

Glad the intros are back, life wasn't the same without them

"Its badminton... and i know what company i work for" 😂😂

"same same, but different" quote didnt go over my head

The copy of Kim Jong Il’s cinephile book is probably my favorite contribution. I had a professor in college who gifted me a bootlegged copy of it.

"Crazy Taxi, but no people, no money, and no cars" I think they may have created the most accurate NK driving simulator ever devised

My dad went to school with Volker Eloesser who is one of the founders of Nosotek. That's the same guy who made The Curse of Ra for the Amiga. Before that NK joint venture he had made millions from selling his mobile game company to Jamba in 2004 (which was then sold to Verisign and then to News Corp, which is why Nosotek got the Big Lebowski deal). In a recent interview he said that at the time no one of his NK staff was allowed internet access, only he as a Westerner would get modem access that even at the time (2008-10) was too slow to access larger websites. He also played several roles in NK movies because he was one of the few Westerners in the country at the time. He now owns a business that markets historic and retro window and door handles from Europe and Asia.

What's funny is that this video is uploaded when the DPRK's founder was born. (In DPRK timezone) April 15th 1912

OMG! You have awaken the deepest and truest of my childhood memories, seeing my dad play Dendi and regularly talking about it being the best console of its time back then - man it was simpler times in our little town, deep in siberia, but it were good and honest times. Thank you very, very much for mentioning the Dendi - I have completely forgotten that part of my life and I will definetly pay my dad a visit to play with him ASAP!!

It's the WII Jong un

That "same same but different" joke was hilarious.

15:00 Growing up in Syria back in 2005-2006 we had this exact show dubbed to Arabic. It was called "فارس الشجاع" which literally translates to "Brave Knight". Although this is the first time I'm learning that it's a North Korean show, I remember at the time that it felt somewhat weird and different from the usual Japanese stuff like Digimon, Pokemon, or Case Closed (Detective Conan). Nevertheless I remember really enjoying the show, It features themes of honor, courage, and patriotism.

"Same same but diffalent" joke from linus, that caught me off guard

19:50 maybe it's "double out" which means You have to hit x2 to win?

Clapping simulator is my favorite NK game ngl... I can beat that game hands free!

Just noticed they brought back the intro, I like it

It is actually a Chinese console from the company Xiaobawang (小霸王) with the brand name Subor. It is a very famous brand in China known for its NES/Famicom clones in the 90s. Back then all kids in China knew Xiaobawang but no one knew Nintendo. So it's no surprise that they made a Wii clone. The founder of the company, Duan Yongping later ventured into other businesses and founded companies like Oppo and Vivo
