I swear I remember FrameRater having a video where he ranked most of the Neo Geo Pocket Color, with the Japan exclusive games left out. It was in collaboration with some other user & said other user made a video about the Japan exclusive games. There seems to be no trace of either video online & I can't remember the name of the other user. It was seemingly on YouTube for a while, so presumably someone out there has saved them, right?

right?

RIGHT?

Not sure on why they were deleted(assuming if these video existed in the 1st place), but if I were to hazard a guess, I would assume the other user's channel might've been gone, so FrameRater removed it for context reasons.

EDIT: Went digging around & I finally remembered that the other user is Amiiben:
www.youtube.com/@amiiben/featured
His latest video is called "THE CHANNEL IS DEAD", which may explain why neither video is up anymore.

Huh, so I found some things that could potentially confirm its existence. Firstly, some stuff on the Internet Archive:
archive.org/details/odysee_-_framerater_202107
archive.org/details/odysee_-_framerater_202212
These are seemingly archives of videos FrameRater uploaded on Odysee back in 2021/2022 & the video has potential to be in one of these compilations.

There is also the "FrameRater Archives" channel, which might upload the video sometime in the future:

Although I wouldn't be surprised if some FrameRater fan shows up & shows me some MEGA reuploads of the video(and possibly Amiiben's Japan-exlusive NGPC games video).

I noticed that Amiiben has 2 playlists: Amiiben Live & Amiiben Originals. The former is obvious as to what it contains, but I wondered if the latter had his video. Sadly it doesn't & there seems to be no hint of that video ever having been on that playlist at all(other than the suspicious last update date being October 21, 2023). Considering the last video's strange imagery from the preview, I don't think I want to contact him for answers as to why the playlist was updated less than 2 months later.

nildrohain God I also have Tumblr if anyone wants to follow that XD All 5 of you!

Found! Fortunately, was able to find URLs for Framerater's and Amiiben's original YouTube videos, which could then be run through the Wayback Machine--and luckily, both had been captured multiple times:

- Neo Geo Pocket & Color Library | Looking at all 45 (US/EU) Games

- Console Library Gaiden: Neo Geo Pocket Color Japanese Exclusive Guide - Amiiben

An excellent pair of videos (very thorough) covering the NGPC that, when I went back to re-watch recently, was sad to see had been removed. Kudos to both Frame and Ben. And thanks for making this original thread, extremewreck2000 👍👍

Oooohhhh, nice! I'm going to assume that some behind the scenes stuff happened with Amiiben that resulted in the videos getting removed.

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. From his replies to comments on his last video, seems like creative burnout was Amiiben's main reason for calling it quits. I could imagine Framerater deciding, "well, it looks weird to have a video on my channel referring to a channel where the last video is titled 'this channel is dead' and/or may go dark entirely at any point, so might as well take this down now" and then Amiiben deciding to follow suit as his followup video refers to Framerater's. Who knows though...
