why did only Australlia get a version of Donkey Kong Country

In modern days they could literally get sued over false advertisement like this.

>>4081526
>>4081530
more like over 600 spinning barrels amirite

>>4081539
in glorious PAL 50hz

>>4081530
In modern days the game would be banned for racism in Australlia.

>>4081547
Is straya that cucked nowadays?

>>4081547
Adam Goodes on the box?

>>4081550
>cucked
If you were older than 12 you'd know they have banned many games.

One time this guy I knew said there were no games with black protagonists

my first response was
>what about donkey kong
many laughs were had

then I was like IDK man you can be a paladin in Diablo II I guess

>>4081559
Dude, what about Shadowman.

>>4081553
Not for racism, and they were only banned because they didn't have a R rating. They do now.

>>4081575
And this list isn't even kept updated, kiddo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video_games_in_Australia#Currently_banned.2Fcensored_video_games

>>4081576
like I said, they didn't have a +18 rating for games, and now they do.

>>4081576
wtf they banned porn games because nudity was offered as a reward. not that nudity itself was bad, it's only bad when it's offered as a reward. what?

>>4081582
Because major retailers carry porn.

>>4081591
What the fuck do you mean retard

>>4081591
Games are mostly bought online these days, why does it even matter.

>>4081596
That just because you slap 18+ on the box that doesn't mean it's not banned.

>>4081598
Not everyone is a tablet baby like you that relies on digital distribution.

>>4081603
Only OCD hoarders oops, I mean, collectors still care about physical media.

>>4081606
It's hot out.

>>4081617
Yes, you're underage. Good thing you told me that.

>>4081618
You're saying I'm underage because I dislike your shit country and like physical media mediums?Man it's hot out.

>>4081621
When you have sex you'll understand why some people prefer the convenience of digital distribution. Kiddo.

Digital distribution is technically Retro, you know, there was the BS Satellaview and Sega Channel distributing games via digital means back in the day

>>4081625
Think you need to leave.

>>4081639
We should both stop.

>>4081631
None of those were digital distribution. Digital distribution is extremely rare for retro games.

>>4081643
I know it's a stretch. But they did distribute full games, it's true. It's the reason why the US didn't get Alien Soldier.

>>4081526
The game had a percent counter that went up to 101%.

So in order to get 101% you had to do 101 things, so if you call things levels then it has over 100 levels. As for the exotic part, well there are palm trees and shit in certain levels so there you go.

>>4081642
You need to leave.
>>4081646
No they didn't. Neither did. They were both temporary streams. Much like Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc today.

>>4081658
You need to grow up.

They did have digital distribution.

ARE YOU SAYING GAME CARTRIDGES ARE ANALOGUE???????

>>4081658
>They were both temporary streams
SatellaView games persisted in memory, that's the way we got the BS roms dumped in the first games.

>>4081662
>in the first PLACE
Shit, I'm dyslexic and retarded.

SatellaView games could be saved to memory packs like this one in pic related.

>>4081660
Leave.
>>4081662
>>4081669
Yes they were downloaded in a temporary stream. That's how it works... They wont support any of the extra sound.

>>4081672
>Leave.
Fuck you. You ain't the boss of me.

>>4081672
> They wont support any of the extra sound.
Correct, that part was live broadcast.
The roms ain't temporary though, because that was the way we were able to get the rom data in the first place.

>>4081672
How else would we get roms like Radical Dreamers if data wasn't preserved indefinitely?

>>4081674
>>4081675
>How else would we get roms like Radical Dreamers if data wasn't preserved indefinitely?
You never erased it when the next stream came? Do you not know how a memory card works?

>>4081678
I'm not japanese, dude. I can only speculate about how that thing worked. So if you never erase the thing the rom stays preserved forever.

>>4081680
>So if you never erase the thing the rom stays preserved forever.
Ignoring physical degradation yes. That's howe a memory cards work. I guess /vr/ is in a state where you have to explain how a memory card works...

How else would were we able to get the Radical Dreamers rom if there was no permanent way to keep the data? I'm not making an argument, I'm tech illiterate and genuinely curious.

>>4081682
Full of summer kids here these days who don't even know how an obscure broadcast service from Japan worked, for fuck sake.

>>4081683
You just saved it and never erased it. How is this a hard concept here for you kids?

>>4081682
The fuck is a memory card, it's like an Mini-SD except for gross old people.

>>4081686
So, it wasn't a temporary stream, then?

>>4081684
It's a memory card you don't seem to understand.
>>4081687
Ya

>>4081691
I'm not good with computers, man.

>>4081690
>>4081693
Summer kids that didn't know what a memory card is trolling me now.

>>4081695
Memory cards ain't no temporary steams. They are permament.

Thank you for the free (you)s.

>>4081540
The game is British, you mong. It's supposed to be played at 50hz.

>>4081731
Shut it, you massive tangerine!

>>4081802
you are such a faggot

am from UK
i distinctly remember the TV ad for one of the DK games where it said 111 levels

You're correct. Did some guy at marketing somehow mix up 100% completion with 100 levels?

>>4081731
Doesn't stop it from being a pile of shit though.

Q. How many levels are there in the game?
A. There are 33 main levels, 67 bonus levels. There's also four animal bonus levels and seven boss levels, bringing the total to 111 levels.

https://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/588282-donkey-kong-country/faqs/5450

>>4081854
They counted short bonus rooms as full levels. So it's more like there are 111 ROOMS in the game.

>>4081858

>rooms

No, they're levels you gigantic sperg.

It doesn't matter how big or small they are, they're still levels.

Do people really say this?

>>4081947
Yes. Although most people I know say Sness or Super Nintendo.

>>4081932
Oh fuck off.

>>4081526
This thread is like asking why Japan got the superior version of NES Contra for the famicom. Some countries get the updates.

They must have been counting the minigames as levels.

>>4081947
I say that exclusively, as do my brothers.

>>4081974
>eight random levels
>random
Eh? The rom I played has no random levels, it just plays the first initial levels in the first world.

>>4081992
lucky!

>>4081992
People made fake versions and dumped the fake games rom.

>the world's greatest video game.

how many of these hold water?

>>4081576
Considering there's a lot of obvious games missing from this, I'm slightly convinced this is just an excuse to ban really awful games.

>>4081947
That was Nintendo's official abbreviation everywhere the system was sold under the name Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

>>4082064
What is it about NintendoAge that, every time I follow a link to it, one of the first three posts I see was written by someone borderline illiterate?

>>4081650
Yes, I'm pretty sure they were counting bonus areas as levels. And no, I'm not being sarcastic, I really think they took a very liberal definition of level so that they cokuld make that bold claim.

>>4081576
Nigger are you retarded? Australia doesn't give a fuck about racism, they ban games for nudity and violence because they're so extremely conservative they've gone full Jack Thompson.
