The E3 Ass Explosion 2015! Part 3: Nintendo
I really need to sit my ass down and play through Dead Space 2, 3 and Extraction. I really loved the first one but never got into the sequels which is ridiculous. Currently enjoying the remake and really loving how good it looks.
I love Dead Space to death! Dead Space 2 in particular is a top 10 horror game of all time for me, I love those first 2 to death. 3 went a bit too much on the action side for my liking but I still enjoyed it in co-op
@@TheMadBelmont Hell yeah, they're just fantastic games! I really hope we get a remake of 2 someday. That's a fair take for sure, yeah they nailed the co-op. Thanks for watching dude!
@TheMonsterReviews no problem dude! And I hope to God we see that remake as well, I'd be SO friggin happy
MaKe Us WhOLe!!!!.....*cough*
Ahh found you in MongunZoo's (Flipping the Switch's) livestreams! and YES STAR OCEAN!!!!!!!!!
@@madkaiser4887 Yeah dude I've popped up in a few! Think you were around for our episode too. Star Ocean was great. I wanna try more of them now. Thx for watching!
Still digging your videos, you should maybe edit in some gameplay instead of just static pictures.
@@Dharoz Yeah it's certainly in the cards. Honestly I'm just kinda sticking with my oldschool vibes for the time being. But I'm sure sooner or later I'll dive into using videos. Thanks for the Feedback/watching dude!
If you haven't checked out The Twin Snakes remake for MGS1 then I think you'll enjoy it better. It includes gameplay improvements that MGS2 had so it may gel with you better. The first MGS as legendary as it is, yeah it hasn't aged too well.
@@ScorpioCesarcade Yeah someone told me that before. Might have to get it some day, I think the prices went up. Glad you feel the same. MGS as a series though is so damn cool, deff going to play more of the series. Thanks for watching dude!
Fun Fact: Two Days after I made this video I got horribly sick. THE RIDE NEVER ENDS! 🤒💪
Sony is forgetting what made them great in the first place. Astro Bot is a callback to great days of the past.
Good video and great list bro. I like your collection too!
I have sega dreamcast console I don.t play no more since I got marvel vs capcom collection for ps4 and I have marvel vs capcom 2 for ps2
I'm pissed at myself for missing out on the plushie bundle VGP was offering. But I preordered the reissue for the nendoroid, I adore Astrobot so much and can't wait to get this. Your review has me hyped. I gotta make sure to finish Astro's Playroom first.
@@ScorpioCesarcade Damn had no idea that was even a thing. Well I hope you enjoy it when you get to play it. Thanks for watching dude!
Astro bot looks really fun! Most of us played the free ps5 game so this one is on the list!
@@SuperRetroForce Fantastic game. Gotta check it out bros! 💪
Dude! I haven't played it yet but this looks like it's brought me home to my love of platformers. Awesome game and great review! 🎉 Also, I know it's probably a bit of a pipe dream atm but I reealy hope LBP 4 gets announced sometime soon 😅
@@oferrari5006 It's a fantastic game and it'll deff scratch your itch for platformers. I really want a LBP 4 as well (it's been 10 years!), but they're working on a new IP. Maybe one day! I just want more fun/weird 1st party Sony games again. Thanks for watching!
Hahahaha good review man. Love the humor in it. The review was spot on and covered all the bases / fuck ups. 8.5/10 my only gripe is the crooked OP flag messing with my OCD. Weird gripe, huh? Perhaps standing in front of your games or movies like in your newest thumbnail on Facebook. 😂
Very happy about the brand new free add-on that was announced for astro-bot today, already looks really good. This is defiantly my GOTY
@@zombiebadgr Yeah I saw that. Looks rad! Really stoked to try that out. I hope they add a certain pink haired PS1 character. It's deff one of my favs of the year. Thanks for watching!
Astro Bot definitely looks great but unfortunately I don't have a PS5. Great review.
@@90shandheldgamer It's an excellent game. If you ever pick one up later on I absolutely think you'd enjoy this. Thanks for watching dude!
I get a little preachy in this one 🤣. Also for the real ones that stay till the end. #Buzz
The first Capcom Fighting Collection introduced me to the Darkstalkers games which I consider to be some of the best aracade fighting games I've ever played so I'm super hyped for the second collection especially since I've never played any of the games on it.
Also I'd definitely like to see more classic beat em ups brought back by Capcom and other companies. I love beat em ups!
Hell yeah! I was really introduced to that series on the PSP. That Darkstalkers game is incredible and then PS3/360 got the digital only HD Collection...which sadly nobody bought. So good. Such a slept on series, some of Capcom's best sprite work. Deff dude this is an amazing time to check these games out. Finally people can see why so many of us were begging for them to come back. And absolutely think another beat em' up collection would rule. Thanks for watching bro!
I love Capcom's fighting game collections, the first fighting collection and the Marvel Collection SLAP and I love Power Stone to death so I NEED to get this second fighting collection!!
@@TheMadBelmont Yeah Capcom has just been killing it with these collections. I'm waiting on the MvC physical copy (it's killing me lol), but I read great things. Absolutely agree , I'm happy more people will finally get to play Power Stone again. Hype!
@@TheMonsterReviews i can imagine lol I can safely say though that when you do get it, you're going to enjoy the hell out of it cause the games all feel incredible. I'm happy about that too because Power Stone is a blast so it's cool that more people will be able to enjoy it!
Upper is technically also the Saturn / Dreamcast / and unlockable PS2 version as well - regardless we finally get the Naomi arcade release finally home ! PS2 version of upper btw ( when you unlock it on Street Fighter Alpha Anthology ) is actually a “ what if we brought it to PlayStation “ port of Zero / Alpha 3 Upper We’ve had a few times in the past the ladder version of Street Fighter Zero / Alpha 2 Gold on PS2 and Saturn , but but to see Alpha 3 Upper Naomi rom officially is such a heavy hit in my heart ♥️ Power Stones and Project Justice finally get recognition again too!
Honestly had no idea. I just thought it was arcades, GBA, and PSP. Seems like a lot of pro players never even played Upper before. That's wild stuff. Agreed very happy to finally check it out. Seeing these old franchises people have been begging (can't lie, myself included) to return for years finally coming back in such a tremendous way is insane. Hype at max levels! 🤜
Capcom is pumping these fighting collections out and we are so for it!
We're literally living in the best Capcom timeline! Thanks for watching!
Been super busy lately, got a lot of RL stuff happening. Hopefully soon I'll have more of a regular schedule again. Always got fun stuff planned. Thanks! <3
Brother, you will update regularly... or else.
Oh by the way I’m a HUGE fan of the VF series respect to you for adding VF5 FS. Kage Maru, Pai Chan, Sarah Bryant, Lion Rafale, Lei-Fei, and Brad Burns are my favorites.
Good morning brother Monster Reviewer, it’s your new subscriber from the Maximillion Dood video. This is a very interesting and unique list. You know I love fighting games, and I get very immersed into the KOF and SF series. I loved Bloody roar and we’re most definitely overdue for a new installment. As far as CVS or SVC goes, a new crossover is inevitably coming to fruition at this point. I still have the Japanese version of CVS2 on my Sega Dreamcast, and still play it daily. The Sega Dreamcast had an abundance of fighters, with most of the best ones from Capcom. I digress though, I absolutely love this video and I’m glad I subscribed. 😊
@@BoyBlaze2002 Yo Brother Blaze! I miss things like Bloody Roar, we really need at least a collection now. Yeah I agree I think we're finally nearing a new CvS game too...which is wild to say. So many amazing SF and KoF games have been coming out over the years. Dreamcast was an absolute banger console for a lot of these, I goofed not talking abt Power Stone or Third Strike but that's life. VF5 FS is incredible, I wish more folks didn't sleep on it (I mained Wolf and second Kage). Really appreciate you watching/subbing dude! Thanks. 👍🔥
@@TheMonsterReviews hey not a problem man, a BR collection would be fire for real. I was so happy when SNK became a standalone company again without the attachment to playmore. Ever since that they’ve made many good games. KOF 14 and 15 as well as the Samurai Shodown reboot. Now we’re getting FF city of the wolves next year. We need a new VF and BR, yes indeed. Peace to you my brother.
Luigis mansion 3 just wasn't as good as 1! 1 is so good and it was in a....mansion lol
Haha yeah! People say it's nostalgia for that first game but I really think the hotel idea in LM3 missed the point. Not sure if you played LM2/Dark Moon but that game is a banger IMO. Feels more in line with the first game. Thanks for watching!
Bro! I felt this way about Paper Mario The Thousand year door. Its to slow and just didnt do it for me. Its a mario game and it just felt like a slog which is unusual for me as ive heard it be hyped up so much over the years. Great vid btw keep it up!
Interesting! Yeah it is what it is for sure. Sometimes a beloved game just doesn't click with someone. I totally get it, can absolutely see the other side of that for sure. Thanks for watching bro! 👍
Have you played Dragon's Dogma? You can play as a Dwarf on the first game and on the second u can come close to it.
Yes! DD is one of my fav games of all time. I have a review up of the recent Dragon's Dogma 2 and I tried to make a Dwarf in that as well. Thanks for watching!
@@TheMonsterReviews I can't find it. I think your channel's name makes it hard to find your videos!
@@MetalOnion_ It's under "Playlists", I have a Game Reviews/News/Unboxings section, it's actually the main picture of it. I'll drop you a link. th-cam.com/video/96GDaaD6MdE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MwIpMfd4oUbgef3f
Pokken Tournament on Wii U I remember I got that the year the switch came out for like nothing they were giving that game away then , I’m happy you mentioned it in this video because it is a straight middle of the road fighter with Pokemon painted ontop of it lol , it’s not bad it’s not great but meh
Pretty much! It's a really cool idea and it looks great but everything else didn't click with me.
👍🔥
👍🔥
Really solid pickups dude! Love the king of fighters art book nice finds! Hope to see you at another convention not just in passing haha.
Thanks man! Yeah the KoF art book is so sick, was super happy I got that deal. Absolutely bro, will deff say hi! Appreciate you watching.👍
Super legends was good as a kid....not so much now but i still love it lmao
@@TheRadBash Yeah the good thing was I heard it wasn't an amazing game prior. But yeah for the price I'm gonna check it out. Hopefully get my Power Rangers fix! Glad you dig it. 👍
I could listen to nerdy guys talk about their favorite games all day.
Appreciate that haha! Thanks for watching/listening. 😆
I fought this guy in sheepshead bay in 1986… hes weak.
Lee you're a bold kid.
Some Solid pick ups here! The monster rancher series has some amazing games!
Thanks dudes! Absolutely, I love the Monster Rancher series (I just need EVO now). Appreciate you watching!
Apologies for the video quality. I really did try to fix it as best as I could. If you wanna just see my game pickups it's at 5:38 (I mean it'd be cool if you watched the whole video but I totally get it.)
Great video blake! Im so excited for Echoes of Wisdom! More so than I ever was for Tears of The Kingdom.
@@Switchbored Thanks man! Yeah it looks very special for sure. I can see why!
nice video!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching it.
Great picks man! The indie kart racer really caught my eye 😎
@@oferrari5006 It looks so cool, hopefully more people take a look at it! Thanks for watching.
GEX 4 Life
Hell yeah!
I wish I could have started this video with John Cena's theme.
Congratulations on 600(now 644!) Pacman world 2 is legit one of my favorite games lol
Thank you dude, appreciate that! I love the Pac-Man World series, so underrated. Hopefully we get some news on whatever they're doing with Pac-Man World 2 in the future.
@@TheMonsterReviews I hope they remaster/Remake it like they did the first one!
MONSTERMANX!!
Give me some sega bro
Congrats dude, making it happen! 🎉 Love Chibi Robo! Just recently picked up Skies at a decent price to solidify the GC collection!
@@ColdNightsGaming Thanks dude! I'm gonna play Chibi Robo one of these days, been long enough. Oh man! That's wild. Well I hope you enjoy it, I always heard great things about Skies Of Arcadia. One day I'll get it! 🤞 Haha. Appreciate it! Thanks again.
Great and epic collection! That chibi robo and billy hatcher hunt was insane! Subbed because Gamecube is the best console ever 🎉
Yeah I still can't believe how lucky I got that day 👀. Thank you dude! Appreciate it. Gamecube rules.
Im proud of u bro. you're gonna hit that algorythm. PALADIN POWER
