I'm searching for the missing link between the Tamagotchi Game Boy and Kunio Game Boy games. They use the same sound effects, but Tamagotchi was developed by Tom Create and Kunio is Technos, all allegedy according to wikipedia.
in that regard this is just a throwaway thread for getting to the bottom of this.
Without beating both games and checking the credits, anyone have any ideas?
I didn't notice this until I started getting into Kunio in the past couple years. I had a Game Boy Pocket very early in life (age 6) and had Tamagotchi when it came out, have since played all the Japan-exclusive ones so needless to say the very specific style of animations and SFX is ingrained on my brain during the most plastic-y times.
The sound of a Tamagotchi chomping away at food is the exact same sound as Kunio's fist slamming into somebodies face.......
and maybe it's the Game Boy-iness of the graphics, but the in game tamagotchi's GB-specific expressions seem to be at scale with Kunio and his chibi expressiveness (^_^) (^o^) ╰(*°▽°*)╯
and yet, it is the same.
