That parrot walks with a determination I've never seen before.
You can squawk the squawk, but can you walk the walk?
Moves and throws tomatoes with determination too. It’s one aggressive parrot
My favourite Tuesday and Thursday morning tradition
I had no idea it was on Tuesday and Thursday. I thought the schedule was completely random.
Is it only on Arcade or on Snes?
@@fidelsolis6070 Only on arcade. Time to bust out the old MAME.
@@dezwashere8706 Really. That's ashame. You can modify s console or buy like a Pandora
@@fidelsolis6070 Yeah, you could use Hakchi2 to play it on your SNES Classic (if you have a SNES Classic, a PC, and a USB).
Always love the often overseen MLB jokes
That Dusty Baker dig is my immediate favorite thing. Well done, sir.
I did not see a Dusty Baker reference coming in this review, but it was well done.
Only a real baseball fan would make that reference..
Looks like an early 90's version of Cuphead.
That flower reminded me of Cuphead.
I think most of these oddball games inspired it.
Exactly what I instand though! 😅
Thought exactly the same, this is Cuphead Zero.
Alternate reality cup head if that reality was hell
Love this game. Happened upon it last time I went to Galloping Ghost Arcade. Played through with a friend and it was some of the most fun I had gaming in a while.
One of the weirdest arcade games next to Trio The Punch: Never Forget Me .
A Funny Pizzaman fan, eh?
Pu-Li-Ru-La by Taito is up there as well.
ＬＵＣＫＹ ！
ＣＨＡ ＣＨＡ ＣＨＡ！
I think the answer to your question is: technical capability.
These arcade platformers usually look, play (framerate wise), animate and have effects way better than a home console could pull off at the time.
I think some games might of had home ports planned but just never got a publisher or just couldn't be scaled back enough to keep that arcade feel. Game back then were also made with a lot of pride and passion. (Not to say games aren't these days but back then there were plenty of wannabe breakout companies going all out on a passion project and a lot of them failed. The idea of "playing it safe" and making things to target demographics and yearly refreshes and reused engines weren't as industry standard as they are today)
You think SNK made all those home console ports yet still had their own consoles despite that being a bad financial idea. The reason is because they felt the SNES and Megadrive wasn't really good enough for their games. I mean of course they wanted to be the leaders of home console too but if wasn't purely a market control profitability ideology.
And those ports were often very solid home console ports too. But they weren't to that arcade standard SNK strived for.
Capcom flirted with the idea too.
@@retrovortex624 SNK having thrir own console wasn't a bad financial idea.
Total length of video: 320 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 6 secs.
1.88% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."
Dude, you're like Drunk's Ed McMahon...i love it! Keep it up!
Another great detail about this game: Much like _Contra_ and _Gradius,_ this game has a second loop, which makes things even *harder.* If you think that the game was too easy for some reason, then beat it once, and then try it again. Good freaking luck.
Ghouls and ghosts too. I doubt anyone completed the arcade version of this game.
that "lore" bit is so vague! i love it. I also like your review of weird Arcade games, and you'll probably never run out of those SNESDRUNK... id love to see someday one of those single screen / kill all enemies to proceed games, like Tumblepop, Snow Bros or Funky Jet. Good work mate!
This is clearly one of cupheads big influences.
2:01
I'd say someone was "under the influence" when they made this.
I’m ready for a countdown of SNES Drunk’s best similes and metaphors.
Glad you finally got around to playing it! One of the trippiest arcade games for sure
I've seen Vinesauce Vinny play this one days ago on his Obscure Arcade Collection video and I know days later that SNESdrunk will do video on this game. This got a bootleg hack called Simpson Junior, though. (By the way the main characters, who are named Ani and Ototo Karasukun, are actually ravens, because karasu means raven.)
When I first played this game, I thought they were parrots. I mean, who ever heard of a green crow?
"I have no idea what am I looking at most of the time"-this should sum up what I thought about this game
That rest of your day outro sounds so sincere. Part of the reason why I enjoy this channel so much
Idk why but your videos help me with my depression and other issues...
Throwback to childhood + your voice
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for these! I love the arcade reviews of games I've never heard of!
You've shown us a lot of weird, crazy-ass little-known games over the years, but this one just might be peak bat-shit! Laugh out-loud bonkers sprites and really beautifully drawn backgrounds. So unique, varied and colorful!
New idea for a video- "top 10 weirdest/strangest games you probably havent heard of".
Dazemon looks cool....this was from '93? It sorta looks "modernly retro" like many of the indie titles we get in that style today...and this definitely feels like you'd be playing an acid trip.
It's just amazing to me that you're still able to find new stuff to keep making videos about.
As a Cubs fan I appreciate the Dusty Baker reference 🤣
That man was murder on pitchers.
The bird is the word
Buhbuhbuhbird bird bird
This is my absolute favorite TH-cam channel. Hands down. For real. Love this cat.
3:56 That plot is every SNES game rolled into one.
Another bizarre yet good looking game. Hope that the Arcade Archives adds this to Switch, Steam, Ps4 and Xbox.
I love how excited you are in this video. xD
The Dusty Baker reference is just A+ material.
This looks great! The bright colors and randomness of it all reminds me of Parodius/Harmful Park.
Again, thank you so much for doing what you do. It's great content and is presented very well. Keep up the good work.
Another great review. Thanks SNESdrunk, you rock!
That day/night cycle gimmick for that boss fight is brilliant
That flower boss reminds me if a similar boss from *Cuphead.* In fact, the whole game looks similar to it... 🤔
I thought so too. And the boss gauntlet at the end is very similar as well
Thank you , Japan, for this absurd monstrosity of a game. You have truly made my life far more entertaining, in more ways than I can even keep track of.
LOL 😂
I have to say now I'm intrigued.
This seems like the kind of game that would definitely be right up my alley, strange and obscure just the way I like it.
Nice!! Please continue reviewing arcade games
Romancing SaGa on the Super Famicom did something similar to the boss whose HP is linked to the time of day. The final boss in that game starts during the day with a solar eclipse in the background, but as you damage him more and more it slowly transitions to night until he's dead.
Bro that Dusty Baker burn was classic LOL
1:12 that guy was *Humpin* the hell out of that tree🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videos are great. I really want to hear your opinion on more recent games that try to recreate the old ones.
Aw damn, I mentioned this one on your previous arcade video on Magical Cat Adventures and now here we are.
I’m convinced the sneeeeeessssss in snesdrunk gets slightly longer every video
Its 6:30 am and after watching this video I had to go down to my garage and boot up my arcade machine to see this for myself. Such a crazy game, I can't wait to get home from work so I can play more of it
When Ghosts 'n' Goblins and Cuphead do acid and have a Japanese baby together.
Snes drunk have one of the best or maybe the best end quote for youtube videos.
Excellent, inspired, and very fun game. To me, this was always a Ghouls 'n Ghosts reskin (changeable weapon drops, platforming is also similar) Also, the original PCB is *incredibly* rare and sells for $3000+ when it shows up once in a blue moon. Luckily, there are conversion PCBs and bootlegs which are a bit more reasonably priced.
Bizzare. The imagination that went into this game could fill novels. It's nice to see games that break from tradition.
I was running on the rings of a sleeping Saturn while throwing pumpkins at space pegasus. Not sure if JJ Squawkers or a dream i had.
One of my favorite childhood arcade games
We had this in the arcade in my neighborhood
FYI, Dezaemon is pronounced like the word "design". This is on purpose of course, since Dezaemon is a game where you design your own SHMUP games. You can even write your own music! Dezaemon is an amazing import to have on the Sega Saturn.
I have a buddy who streams this on occasion. It's ridiculously watching him do so.
one of my favorite arcade titles by far
Wow never heard of it; looks really good 👍
Loved this game as a kid. Used to play it in the arcades and could finish it with 1 or 2 credits.
3:29 *TH-cams compression algorithm ignites on fire*
That Dusty Baker comment was hilarious
This game looks absolutely ridiculous, and I love it!
Mark Prior just got PTSD flashbacks and Kerry Wood had to remind him it's all over now.
Athena also did another arcade shmup called Daioh, which aside from its six button control scheme is otherwise a fairly standard shmup
I can’t remember if you did dyna gears but that seems right up your alley
Now I want to play it so badly!
Thanks! I'm gonna have a great rest of my day.
This one is crazy interesting....never heard of it before now.
damn that Dusty Baker dig is primo
"Tri Star logo" LOL!
It looks like they really took advantage of the more powerful arcade hardware to deliver an experience no one would forget. I mean look at those backgrounds for example. The home consoles would have probably struggled with all this chaos.
Today, you earned my subscription.
Holy cow. I want to play this so bad. This has everything I want out of a game like this.
A Dusty Baker joke?!? Amazing.
The weirdness, engrish, and plot remind me of Pu*Li*Ru*La. Tho, this game seems to have less nightmare fuel. Thanks for covering this game.
LOL! I never found this in the arcades but it looks fun!
Looks like a lot of fun.
Nice Screw Attack and Tri-Star references
Kudos on the Dusty Baker reference. Dusty gets a lot of unfair shit, but that one was right on.
That looked like a fever dream I had once...
We have RJ Gators which is the Florida equivalent to that name ...lol
LOL seriously?? That's hilarious
@@SNESdrunk Yup Bradenton Florida ...lol.. rjgatorsbradenton.com/ Great video thank you sir!!
IT looks fun and I like its crazy style.
Looks awesome
Another banger, Drunk.
This game looks crazy and awesome.
The background reminds me a lot of Metal Slug, first level.
Now I really hope you get around to Biomechanical Toy some time. There aren't a lot of European arcade games and most people don't know about them anymore. The developer even made platformers for the arcade.
Generally I just enjoy to see you cover those obscure and/or weird arcade games. There are some really cool ones.
I've been meaning to recommend that game for a while. I was even thinking about it right before looking at this comment. I thought it was pretty competent the fist time I played it, but watching a youtube video of it showed a level of depth I wasn't aware of.
It's not quite as visually quirky as some of these other aecade games though.
That final boss destroyed my bitrate.
Now I know what games to play
Yeah, this is trippy, strange as hell and hard as f&#k, yet still interesting. I wish there were more history available on this games development. Also, nice touch about The Adventures Of Batman And Robin on the Genesis.
Have a great day, dude!
Have you talked about Ninja Baseball Batman? Is there an emulator for that? Ever since I saw AVGN talk so positively about it I've been interested.
Not as a solo video, I think I found it thru one of his vids with multiple games
Game looks great. I’d like to find this.
this looks awesome
Gotta give this game a try, if only because of the power-ups. Slinky sneakers as weapons?! Sold!!!
Edit: I usually don't get the references (sports aren't my thing), but the "Tristar logo" got a laugh out of me xD
Imagine how many times the developers listened to Primal Scream - Loaded while creating this
The logo's font reminds me of Big Comfy Couch
Gonna have to request a review on "Three wonders", an arcade game.
I gots to play this!
Sounds like a question XD. Sssssnnnnnnnnnnesdrunk? Great vid XD
That guy gives a whole new meaning to the word tree hugger. 😂
This game looks like an awesome 2-player play-thru.
3:00 stop screwing around🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Played this game a lot at the arcade, never beat the damn thing but was really fun and wacky.
im surprised nobody's commented on the pepsi logo balls?
