A true fanatic would go to the ends of the earth to prove this point, and I do not think you're that fanatic. I want you to put your money where your mouth is and edit that list. And put AirVillain Roolz! to prove it was you. 4 hours ago, AirVillain said: Hahaha... I think it's funny how this is literally a reference that people here SHOULD understand, yet because she's a young pop star.... you just don't want to accept it??? It's not that, it's just that it doesn't seem to be the full code when the other songs do work in the full code. Plus, she said Nintendo, not Konami. It's the Konami code, and Nintendo was known to have D-pads for almost all their controllers (or the sticks for the joycons, which is what the Switch uses.) It's cool that she references Nintendo, but the Konami code is a stretch. Unless it shows up on that list (with AirVillain Roolz! under it.)

My left is your right so it depends on if she's referring to her right or your right as a viewer. Each one can be east, relatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I get it... It's not the FULL CODE.... but that's part of what a "reference" is. It doesn't ALWAYS say exactly word for word whatever it's referring to..... that's literally what a reference is.

On 6/28/2024 at 5:31 PM, AirVillain said: Example: Video Games by Classified is not even on the list. It says "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start". That's the Konami code. Up down left right is not. On 6/28/2024 at 5:31 PM, AirVillain said: Up, down, left, right.... IN THAT ORDER? I find it highly suspect it's a "general" d-pad reference when it's in that order. YES. That order is standard, as I've said. You're doing a backronym here. On 6/30/2024 at 9:22 AM, AirVillain said: Okay... If that's the case she'd say "Up (N), Down (S), Right (E), Left (W)". Right? Wrong. Two different sets of directions, from different purposes and origins. We read left to right. We prioritize east before west same as north before south.

To compare her saying "Up, Down, Left, Right" to "N, S, E, W" is more bonkers than saying it's a Konami code reference. She's just.... being navigational? Which happens to be RIGHT BEFORE a Nintendo line??? Okay.... so first she's saying the line because of it's comparison to directional pattern but not really because it's switched because she's saying "left/right" instead....? So then it's a directional reference, but not actually accurate so it's not a "real reference" according to even your standards....? Did you even read that? Hahaha.... fuck. Link, I'm too high for this bullshit. It's simple: She says "Up, down, Left, Right, oh" IMMEDIATELY before a Nintendo reference. It's the muh-fuckin' KONAMI CODE. Also, I can respect the fact that the "Konami Code" has become ubiquitous in pop culture as a "video game"/cheat code reference so I am fully willing to admit that it's reference could very well simply be "video game code" reference, or "cheat code" reference...... BUT STILL.... that's the Konami Code to us. As in, input the cheat code for great sex. GET IT GUYS???? IT'S AN INNUENDO FOR SEX LIKE I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE TIME. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU!!! Okay so maybe I misread this before. My apologies. Because I kinda agree.... like I just said. Konami Code has become ubiquitous with "gaming cheat code".... So yeah... that too. As in... People say it's a general gaming reference, which it is, we just happen to know and understand it's origins.... so when I see the reference I still call it "The Konami Code"...

Being "forgotten" doesn't make it not true. Sarcasm/jokes aside.... I still think it's funny that we get an OLD SCHOOL video game reference in a new song from a young pop star and you dorks still don't want to accept it. Who cares if it's not "EXACTLY" the proper code?? It's a reference to a video game code.... still counts. That's what a "reference" is. I attempted to make an illustration....

It's not a konami code reference, it's just a reference to controller inputs. It's pretty obvious that it's talking about the Nintendo Switch, with the "switch it up" pun.

guitarzombie | 938 Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM Right, its not a Konami code reference. If it was, it would be Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A. It isn't, its a move direction which was conceived years before Konami because Up Down Left Right is an elegant way of saying those directions. As well as North South East West. It's a reach. If you input Up Down Left Right in Contra, does the code work? No, so it isn't a reference to it. This is craziness. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 867 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I did hear this used in an ad I saw online (YT maybe) just this weekend. It was something like 'You wanna down down, up, up, left, right, left right B A your meals" or something like that. Really weird stretch but it caught both mine and my brother's attention and we had a good laugh over it. I also remember reading that it works on select Fisher Price toys..

T-Pac | 8,209 Graphics Team · Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Yeah - I could definitely be wrong, but I'm inclined to believe "up, down, left, right" in this context is just a reference to d-pad inputs in general, not the Konami code. And this is coming from a guy who literally has the Konami code tattoo'd across my fingers haha. [T-Pac] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
