Pro tip-always listen to SnesDrunk in the morning so the entire day is great
It's that new band everyone's talking about, Bimp Lizkit
😂
They did it all for the...bookie?...
No that's not right 😎
@@sgtsnokeem1139 just gimme something to bake!
@@jeffersonjjohnson lmao! Nice
@@sgtsnokeem1139
They did it for the bookie because they had gambling debts and the bookie has connections that wouldn't mind accidentally smashing a few feet as encouragement.
"It's incredibly forgiving for an arcade game"
Well, I guess we know why that company only ever released one game, heh.
Pretty sure the name of the bad guy in the Japanese cutscene was “Great Satan”, which is a pretty good indicator of why the localized version just removed the cutscenes entirely. Saves money on actually having to localize the game too.
Japan loved simple stories. Like you need to collect candies and umbrellas.. Why? Because the literal Satan will come From THE VOID if you don't!
Yes, Nintendo of America guidelines prevented any religious stuff in games back then, because they did not want to risk the wrath of outraged religious parents.
Ah Great Satan, a much more serious threat in conparison to Mediocre Satan or even Average Satan.
Or the Oddly honorable Satan in Devil went down to Georgia.
@@byron4545 It's not a Nintendo console game; it is an arcade release.
If it hadn't been for Wintechno, there'd be no fake Bubsy a long time ago...
Where did ya come from? Where did ya go? Where did ya come from Wintechno?
*Techno Fiddle Solo*
Where they came from? Who knows!
WHere did they go? NOT producing games. It's an Arcade Game that is just FAR too fair. Arcade machines weren't cheap and they needed to make money. If a game is too fair, that means that the game isn't making money.
I mean you have to pay for the game itself. Then you have the electricity cost. To say nothing of probably needing to sanitize it every so often. All with only making 25 cents at a time. If a game is too fair, then that makes it's taking you FAR longer to try to make up your investment, much less turn a profit.
A game like this is better for the home market, where it would have done a lot better.
Highly underrated comment!
SNES Drunk narrating foreign language cutscenes is something I didn’t know I needed in life until right now.
Arcade games library is literally the place for obscure gem. You can keep looking and you will keep founding. I love arcade games and I'm so glad that you take the time to make these videos
I like these kinds of games because they are a lot easier unless complicating, yet they are just so much fun.
Damn, your reply sure fits the latter half of your name.
Honestly, seeing this looks MUCH more fun then trying to beat Super Ghosts N Goblins! Plus it's MUCH cuter!
This looks like a decent Platformer. I'm surprised it never got a home port. Probably because there was an over abundance on mascots in the 90s
Maybe it will find it’s way to a retrocade type system one day.
I imagine less "Over abundance on mascots" and more "Failed Arcade that died because it was too easy and a poor investment for Arcade Owners"
I’m pretty sure Nickleback is a Creed tribute band.
Do you mean a bad Creed tribute band?
Joe I have to ask... Can you show me on this doll where Creed touched you?
Nickleback is nowhere good enough for that comparison...
@@RavenheartIndustries Creed is and was awful. Nickelback has at least lasted a long time
@@RavenheartIndustries at least the singer of Nickleback didn't have a psychotic break down from drug abuse and thought the CIA wanted him to assassinate the president
Creed and Nickleback....the 2 worst bands of all time.
We need a subreddit dedicated to Wintechno so we can all gather around and try to find the other games they made
Agreed
Cheers from Brazil! :D

Im brazilian too!
@@xjf8h83qe0oc9 shut up poop face
This looks like a happy cat themed Castlevania, from the level setting to the bosses. Skeleton boss, cat Dracula , Shaft.
It's more Ghost'n'Goblins mixed with Sonic The Hedgehog IMHO
Well, I could definiteny see a 10/10 conversion of this game to a snes cartridge. Honestly, if u didn't mention it was for arcade, I'd totally assume it was actually for the snes...
Looks like Bubsy and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts had a bastard child ;D
Maybe it was love.
@@ArtDocHound Maybe! gotta try the game out :D
Super Bubs n' Feline Familiars.
Buffsy?
@@djpegao Buffsy the Canine Slayer :o
Man what a review. You‘ve had much fun doing it. That’s what it sounds like. So cool and funny
This seems like a fun and pretty game, and besides the color, the Magical Cat doesn't look that much like Bubsy imo. Kinda wish this were ported to home consoles, the lenient respawn fits it already. And your story summary gave me a good laugh xD thanks for a great start of my day.
One weird nitpick about the art though: does the cat look like a cyclops to anyone else? I mean, the whole body is in a 3/4 view, including his muzzle and ears, but the (quite wide) eye is in side view. The hurt animation exagerates it even more (1:28).
I like how nice the environment is and the great designs for the enemies. Yet, at the same time, the protagonist looks like the most generic character that grew out of the generic fields on the generic farm that’s in Genericville. He almost looks like he was based on some generic clip art of a cat.
Cheers for upload! I just found out TH-cam glitch unsubscribed me from your channel, luckily it came up in my recommendations, phew!
Played this in the arcades back in the day, happy to see it getting some recognition lately.
I remember to have seen a cabinet of this game decades ago in a restourant here in Italy.
Sadly I never seen anybody playing it since there were two fully fledged arcades with a bunch of more popular games at a 50 meters distance each.
Oh shit, the Creed slam actually made me cough up water on my desk. Top tier, love it.
I'm going to depend on SNESDrunk for all my Japanese translations from now on.
Name of villain in japanese version - Great Satan. No wonder they cut everything from western release.
2:45 total Rick Sanchez description of something lol
It's fairly common for arcade games to respawn you on the spot.
This is like a JP Bubsy in Ghouls 'n Ghosts world.
Beat em up's do it all the time.
Yeah, but the ones that do tend to be a lot harder.
This game is something you could beat with a limited amount of money, right from the start.
I've never heard of this game but I would have loved it as a child.
RIGHT??
If this wasn't japanese i would say someone tried to cash in the anthropomorphic animal craze and hoped this would sell enough to create a saturday morning cartoon out of it ^^
(Seems it was only someone's passion project and maybe got localized because it looked so much like Bugsy)
I’ve been playing this game for years. I find it to be a hidden gem on the arcade. It’s certainly fun and replayable.
Snes wasn't widely available were I'm from, not to mention arcades, but I still got through a couple emulated games even before stumbling on your channel about a year ago. Your content is awesome! (and oddly relaxing lol)
he looks just like Smarf from "too many cooks".
*_🎶Too many cooks 🎶_*
And, sadly, not at all like Victoria Sun...
Wintechno sounds like the relative of Tecmo and Nintendo.
Maybe they started off as a company that raffled off Paul van Dyk albums?
This game looks like Sonic the hedgehog and Donkey Kong country like backgrounds. The cat boss looks like the Shadow of the Ninja skeleton boss. I also like videos that are longer than usual about bad games. That’s when you know the maters is gooood.
Bubsy has always been one of my favorite SNES games and I've been playing and collecting SNES nonstop since the 90s. I'm pretty sure the negative rep Bubsy has is from a much later game on the PS1 called Bubsy 3D.
in creed song fashion, "He Looks like Bubsy... OOOOOOOhhhh Yeahhhhhh.
This actually looks like a cool game. Excellent graphics in true arcade style. :)
Reading from that intro the antagonist's name is "Great Satan", huh.
This strikes home. First, one of the games I had on my SNES was Bubsy and I enjoyed a lot and played the shit out of it.
Second, I love CCR, Beatles, Elvis... but Creed is my favorite band of all time
Only SNESDrunk would see Magical Cat Adventure, and said to himself, "I got to make a video on that." I bet it was all because he had that one Creed joke, and he had to force it into a video somehow.
Thank you for making and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
Damn, didn't expect you to find this one. In some way, I see this game as one of the last of its kind similar to JJ Squawkers and Thunder Hoop of checkpoint-based arcade platformers so I find that there's some cache to that end.
Speaking of Thunder Hoop, that would probably be one for you to check out given it was arguably the game that put Gaelco on the map in Spain
I like the art style, character designs, and attacks. Definitely looks good enough to play
NO! You have a GREAT rest of YOUR DAY!
My local arcade had this and I played it a lot. Loved it.
TRYING TO RIP OFF CREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WITHAAAAHMS
WHAAAADOPEAHN
Totally read that in Eddie Vedder's voice 😂😜
@@whosaidthat84 EVEN
FLO-OWWWWW
I mean, creed is enjoyable, but it would be ridiculous to think they were the band you wanted to rip off.
Wintechnos even sounds like an obscure 90s game developer
The phantom cat head attack is just wild
Thanks for a great review! Good stuff!
What a cute game! Looks really well executed too! :D
I remember have played this game in an arcade here in Italy, in the middle of 1998
According to Wikipedia, Bubsy wasn't even released in Japan until 1994, so I'd say it's pretty unlikely that a Japanese arcade game released in 1993 was influenced by Bubsy's design.
"It's like if you started a band and decided to deliberately rip off Creed." - I bark laughed at this. Anyway, great review of a really neat looking game.
Jules 'Dutch' Krasner: Remote control. That's got to be it. That thing is runnin' by remote control. Listen. Listen, you guys. We gotta do something. I mean, something's wrong. Machine's just don't run by themselves. That means there's somebody else on this island. You know, foreign spies or something.
Dennis Holvig: How 'bout a mad scientist?😅
That thumbnail looks like it has Tails and it looks like he's seen better days lmfao
You're back! Hope your well!
Nothing like Busy. He's got a tail! And a collar!
Omg your hate to Bubsy is hilarious lol, great vid as always, you always make me laugh so hard
Surprised I've never seen this one before, but looks like I didn't miss too much, thanx.
Thank God you're back
If I remember correctly, the levels are also rearranged in the localized version.
Great finding! Thanks for the recommendation
I don't totally like the graphics but I'm really liking the enemy designs in it. The main cat is almost cute up close with the little bell.
Sometimes I think about games where the company only had one game that came out of nowhere and the developer was never heard from again. The only other one I can think of at the moment is "Bio-mechanical Toy".
Thank you for what are you doing!
Edit: oh I thought it was a snes game :/ Not familiar with bubsy but this looks interesting. Its neat that you cover some obscurities. I've been looking around for games where you cross lava pits, explore caves, and avoid booby traps in search of treasure etc and this seems like it would be that sorta thing.
Haha! I loved the intro voice over
Didn't get the Creed reference, as I'm more of an Ariana Grande kind of guy.
Still, the game looks interesting. Thanks for bringing this up.
Looks like a cross between Earthworm Jim and Donkey Kong Country.
weird ass weapons...also how odd that company chose to randomly localize the game and nothing else. I can't imagine it cost them that much to bring it over, although since the game is pretty obscure, they probably didn't make much back...honestly feels/looks like it'd be a rando genesis/MD game you find in the bargain bin.
It is so unknown that even the PCB is not that expensive on eBay.
The japanese version is quite rare and is the better one, it also has a better gameplay and adds a few more details in the backgrounds like the flying leaves in the first stage.
Looks just fine to me. I would be more than happy to play this on arcade if younger me was on road trip with my parents and they decided to stop for a burguer.
The crouch attack looks cute.
0:38 This must be the Dungeons of Dredmor level.
I was about to comment on that haha
this comment section is awesome... a too many cooks ref... the this dungeons of dredmor reference i feel at home here.... this is where i belong T_T
“not Busby” Gold lolol
Where did ya come from? Where did ya go?
Where did ya come from, Wintechno?
The game's title and the back story of the company sounds like the start of a creepy pasta.
oh this sounds like a fun game maybe ill buy the arcade board, $525 on ebay...nevermind
Looks like something that would be good re-released as a repro cart!
Bubsy is the Creed of video games.
I'm gonna have a great rest of my day. Thanks!
Sort of a mystery game. Cool. I bet there's a story. Like, it was developed by a single guy who was shaping up to be a star in the video game world but he mixed pop rocks with soda and died a tragic death. This is his only remaining legacy.
>Creed
See, that's how I can recognize my peer group.
"It's just darling" I almost spit my drink
Welp, at least we don't have to suffer through Bubsy again
For some reason I was thinking this was based on TV show, but I am thinking of Bonkers, and this isn't based on that show....
This feels like a cross between Bubsy and Ghouls and Ghosts
Would love to see a SNES Drunk video on Utopia for SNES
The character at 3:33 reminded me of Orko from He-Man.
This looks an ok platform game, nothing greatly spectacular, but it looks like it's worth a go.
I think the treasure chest merely bumped you into the spike ball n chain, which then caused damage.
Looks like Castlevania and Donky Kong had a -baby- kitten
Looks like TMNT In Time!
Hah, Great Satan is trying to take over the Magical Land XD. Kinda' what I read out of the little bit of story I saw there.
I don't know why but I really dig this graphic style
Pirate Skeleton of Killer Queen
yeah lovely backgrounds and enviroment pixel work
Mascot platformer on arcade. Reminds me of JJ Squawkers.
Tabby cat vs. Venom...FIGHT!
I dig the design. I'll try it.
I love your channel and brand, but I have some feedback, mostly advice based on psychological factors. Please do fewer videos on obscure games like this, and more talking about games we are familiar with, to tug at our nostalgia strings, and to tell us if you are in our respective tribes on some game or topic or another. Psychologically, that's what we want. We want to see someone enjoying something we enjoyed, or hating something we hated. And we get riled up when we see someone hate something we love, or love something we hate. I particularly want your take on Faxanadu. If you hate it, I would get all riled up, comment heavily, and probably hate watch the video ten times, but stay subscribed. If you loved it, I would feel what's called a parasocial connection with you, and want to watch more of your videos.
But if you aren't captivated by Faxanadu's bizarre yet perfect visual design and music, I'm not sure I can help you. Don't get the pendant, it actually makes you weaker.
I saw this at a retro games place, and had the same reaction as you
