Best Christmas Themed ROMhacks - SNESdrunk

When I first started writing this script, I was planning on just sticking with Super Nintendo, but there just aren't very many. So, I had to branch out to include GBA, Genesis and NES. Enjoy!

Growing up as NES/SNES kids, Christmas was always an exciting time of year. My brother and I would usually get two new games for Christmas from our parents, and possibly a third from our grandparents. This was a golden era for us; back in the days of writing letters to Santa haha. Times have changed, but the memories haven't. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to SNES drunk, and to all the wonderful people that comment on your videos and share the joy an nostalgia of yesteryear. 🎄🎅⭐✡

I liked the part where you brought up the idea of a Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball Christmas-themed ROMhack. I spent the rest of the video imagining what in the world that would even entail. A bunch of baseball players sad about not being able to spend the holidays with their families, I suppose.

This season I was actually trying to play every single Super Mario World Christmas-related ROM hack, so I'm really happy to see this video! My personal favorite that I came across was Trouble in Snow Land, in which you play as a Shy Guy and explore many unique Christmas/winter-themed levels. There's a really cool secret world with even more creative levels that aren't like anything I've seen any other Christmas hack attempt, so I highly recommend it!

Very nice! These hacks look pretty fun! 26 years later and I never knew about that Christmas-themed cheat code in DKC 3! That's pretty awesome!

[DGFTardin]

I like that you included the "MERRY" code for DKC3, such an underrated game

[Davtwan]

This would be a large project, but I think a Christmas-themed Link to the Past would be dope.

[JohnDoe-wqeu]

Of course a RARE game would have a code that turns bananas into bells and presents and changes the music to Christmas jingles. There's a reason why these folks are absolutely legends.

5:34 This is why I enjoy this channel. He allowed us to enjoy the music and didn’t cut it early.

[Revegelance]

I love your choice of music in the intro here. Obscure DKC3 music that requires a cheat code to unlock? Deep cuts like that fuel me.

Hey SNESDrunk, I first found your channel a little over 2 years ago after the first snow of the winter and it's become sort of a tradition to watch your videos this time of year. Every snowfall I end up thinking about the coziness of your voice, not in a weird way. It's like listening to a close uncle or an older brother. So I just want to thank you for these videos, and I also want to wish you a very merry Christmas!

[AnthonyRiddle]

I love your rom hack videos. I'm just recently getting into rom hacking. It feels like a huge new world has been opened up for me

[Wolfburns]

Time to load up the SNES Mini with seasonal hacks and settle in with the yule log. Thank you for the great channel and can't wait for more awesomeness next year!

[LanEXHikari]

I can't shake the idea that when you spelled that code out loud, it was meant to sound like jingle bells LOL Thanks for the video SDrunk! ✌🏼

[EirkenElite]

Christmas and Metroid does fit for me got all my Metroid games on Christmas

[walrus_boiler]

Thank you so much! I’ve been asking for this video for awhile!!

[WhispyWoods.]

A niche within a niche within a niche. I love it 👍

3:01 That ice spitting enemy is from Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. The very first Wario Land, yes. You find them mainly in the "Sherbet Land" stages.

[duffman]

Samus running around a bunch of snow covered Christmas trees is pretty hilarious tbh

[mtshark]

Awesome video man! I never knew about these hacks before.

Ah i was actually thinking about looking for such rom hacks the other day. Glad I waited cos you've done it for us. :D
