We appreciate all your support over the past year. Thanks for watching 🙌

[Slaking_]

I love how DYKG went from a fairly typical channel about fun facts and trivia to full blown investigative journalism over the past few years. Awesome work

Calling Samus a bounty hunter for years without even knowing what a bounty hunter is must be the most Nintendo thing I've heard in a long time.

[Forever_Zero]

If you ask me, Heroes of Hyrule is the biggest discovery and probably the greatest loss, that game just seemed incredible

[halowaffle]

That entire 'Nintendo does not know what a bounty hunter is' section... Explains so, so much.

[alexmorenoac]

DYKG went from: "did you know this little curious fact that you might have not heard but still some people already know?"
To: we are resurrecting death devs to interview them, as well as unearthing and translating ancient Nintendo scrolls written on sumerian to uncover histories nobody ever knew!

...And I love it. Kudos to all the DYKG team for making tremendous efforts translating, interviewing and fighting video takedowns to bring to us all of the amazing stories and secrets!

That entire 'Painted Chick' thing is super upsetting D: Can't believe people actually just threw them away

[tomsantos]

This new style of DYKG has made the channel so much better. It's most exciting the show has been since it first started, maybe more so since you guys are really going into the specifics of stuff

[EvilMike]

You guys are singlehandedly keeping the history of video games and their development alive. I wonder how many of these facts and stories would have been lost to time if you hadn't done all this work to uncover it. Having records of all this stuff only gets more important as time goes on, and you guys just keep getting better at it!

[lmnt]

You guys have been doing an incredible job digging up all this stuff. Thank you so much! 😊

[evilgibson]

Nintendo: What's a bounty hunter?!?? That's crazy!
Also Nintendo: Hey, remember the time when we bought baby chicks and threw them out as kids? Hahah, good times!!

[happyspaceinvader]

The whole way through that part on Satoshi Tajiri’s supposed autism, I was thinking of that XKCD “Citogenesis” cartoon, which happens to be my favourite. I was super delighted that you actually showed it. Everyone (particularly journalists and researchers) should read it. So many many “Internet facts” can be attributed to citogenesis, and it’s rare that journalists actually bother to dig as deep as you did. Respect due.

[HandsomeLongshanks]

I remember when dykg was just an image based website. It's grown so far.

[zacherytaylor]

I remember first seeing you guys on Facebook years ago. All these years and I think 2022 was y’all’s best one yet. I love the content and I hope you guys keep striving to find new and original information about these games

[xepicxyoshix]

Heroes of Hyrole sounds really freaking amazing!

[kiricappuchin]

Nintendo calling Samus a bounty hunter and then refusing to let her be one is funny. It's as if they just called her that since it sounded super cool 🤣🤣

Between DYKG and MMAonpoint this year has been the year for me “Wait you can just reach out with questions and real people might answer!?”

[pattongilbert]

Absolutely been loving the new “investigative journalism” focus of the channel. A brilliant evolution of DYKG.❤️

14:53 That's ironic sense people seem to like Blaziken a lot.
