@Gauchorino thanks! I love talking to people too, and enjoy engaged discussion on topics like this. I don't know what this video will end up doing or who will take notice, but I've got to thank Nintendo Life for putting up in the first place. I don't recall ever hearing a game having its name changed unofficially by fans before, but who knows. If anything the Yume Kojo / Dream machine naming was just a way to identify all the different areas of promotion, which is why there was a second name to the bands and game too. not mentioned in the video, but from that book there was also a comedian who changed his last name to, you guessed it, Yume Kojo for 1987! The book came with a thank you letter from Fuji tv for supporting the event though. It was so faded and on special fragile paper that it didn't scan well. Still a cool collectors item!
You have the right idea, and I think from now on I'll only call it "Dream Machine" not dream factory, if enough people do it, then it will have been changed and corrected. Let's make it happen ^_^
Thanks so much for checking out my other videos. Part of me enjoys talking about it because look what I just found and made, it's exciting and interesting. It's not the only game where secrets are hiding out, and I'm going to do a few more like this as time goes on.
@Gauchorino thanks for a great lengthy comment! Yea, I agree with you, if you think of machine as something that produces rather than something that is used. As I was writing it, all these years of hearing dream factory made me almost skip over that part without realizing it. But, the phrase dream machine pops up in a lot of pictures in the book this video is based on. Also there's some alliteration in dream machine over dream factory.
Hmm I wonder if some sites will change the English name now, or what?
As you saw I take a few lighthearted jabs at that there really wasn't any "new news" left. Maybe this is the last story about this game now, but I'd surely love to see someone else dig up even more.
I was no longer a kid by 1996, but I did help my little brother find an N64 on day one by going to a game store in the airport mall. It was a clever tactic as the store was stocked just the same as anywhere else, but not many people are looking for Mario 64 on their connecting flight to Cleveland!
This type of game is how I always imagined as a kid that games in the 2010s would look like. That's enough for me! It's not like I never played games rated 5/10 before!
It was a voice activated controller. Yell "fire, fire" you get the idea. Well he bought one because some kid at his school told him that if you talk into it and say "beat the game" it would actually beat the game! So he brought it home and he said "beat the game but nothing happened! Sure we were all young once, but wow.... Gullible!
@blackice85 When I was a kid, we stuck a stuffed animal in the NES slot to stop it from blinking. Enough force to hold it down, soft enough fit it in there without falling out.
While it's fun to search out rumours, hearsay, gossip and leaks, there's just something great about a proper full reveal when done right. The Wii reveal was great because it really was a true surprise. I'm hoping this NX super delay won't allow time for any ruined surprises as well.

Using a (an?) NES Advantage makes this the closest anyone could get to actually playing a movie back in the 80s! Good video!

I was a die hard TG16 fan when it was around, and Bonk hasn't aged that badly.

Nothing better than discovering lost prototypes. How many garages out there hold the next lost game?

Great video. I had a friend who when he was younger had his dad buy him the laser scope https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserScope

Great! I always disliked the n64 resolution over PSX. Now if we can just fix that controller.

Re: retroUSB's HDMI NES, the AVS, is Heading for a Summer Release
The more choices the better, I say! Interesting front load design that will likely not blink. The bane of any NES user!
