Hedgehogs do indeed roll up into balls. However, they don't do it very often because they're afraid that inanimate gloves will hop on top of them and roll them around.
I've heard that they're also scared that they might start speeding out of control and accidentally stumble into an overweight madman's nefarious deeds.
I hear that hedgehogs are very adorable and friendly towards people, but they get aggressively racist towards italians.
I may need to fact check that last statement
They also like eating hot dogs
They often hang around two tailed foxes
they are also born fast for some reason
Average platformer character near a ledge: *Afraid of falling*
Glover: *Sits on it*
TRULY A BADASS
He is Master Hand's son, that's why he has no fear. Based Glove Boi.
@@KingStr0ng explain why the wizard has a third glove
"However, hopes for a Glover 2 did occur in 2017!"
*inhales excitedly*
"Sadly, they didn't even have the proper trademark to make a full game."
*exhales in disappointment, my poor heart in pieces*

21:41 When you get so upset you become Jerry Seinfeld
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.
Wow. Can't unhear it now.
Just wanted to make the same comment.
What’s the deal with PS1 Glover physics?
Kramer: you can be the first pirate.
Nitrorad: I don't want to be the first pirate!
I've worked with the developer at Golden Mushroom and wanted to help with the marketing as that's my actual job. The "team" was one dude from Germany not understanding a bit about game development, law and project management. I think I still have his number
that anime weirdo it’s probably for the best that he wasn’t able to make the game
Hallo Andreas
that anime weirdo And also, to those who don’t know who owns Glover these days, it’s owned by a company that likes to rerelease old games (both physically and digitally), and release new, but long lost games for old consoles, called Piko Interactive.
game developer mit 13 jahren??
@@chaosn4197 Nicht sicher was du meinst? Ich bin 21 (1997 geboren), Melvin (der Typ hinter Golden Mushroom) ist 1995 geboren und ist 24.
Can’t believe you sold out to Hamburger helper. Not cool.
I'm confused.
@@YouW00t their mascot thingy
@Xavi Galarza I'm proud of Gex to be honest. He got a real job and makes money with a wife and children.
Yeah what a sell out
Shame....
Are fingerless gloves considered quadriplegic gloves in the Glover Universe?
its too early to think about this shit
Lol
I'm gonna be thinking about that all day now
fuck you man
@@HeilRay Are those something like mega playboys?
r/showerthoughts
Manipulating the codes within Glover is my favorite part of the game. Certain codes you can stall out making their effects permanent, and that's when the games gets really fun to mess with. Lots of weird stuff can happen and as a kid I absolutely loved it.
Hey swanky
Back when cheat codes were awesome instead of micro transactions or mods
*HellRay* true
Reminds me of how Game Shark codes could permanently burn save files onto the disk or memory card with Gamecube games. Mini-Disc players; 1 step forwards, two steps back...
Same
Hey look it's Master Hand's childhood story
I Underdog Story of American Gambino AKA Danny Glover
Nah it's actually a sponsored game for Hamburger Helper made to sell more pasta
It's Donald Glover's backstory.
TF is Danny glover? (Yes I saw the Antdude video)
That's his son, actually.👨👦
I would honestly love to see it remade. It's such a novel and clever concept that stands out from your generic 32-bit collectathons.
btw Piko Interactive (a company who actually owns the rights to Glover IP) has shown interest in finishing that Glover 2 prototype.
64bit
@@Ashiodyne ^^^^^^^^
And make it in VR so it can be cuter when he waves at you. like how it's really cute when you say hello to astro bot and he also waves at you.
I was about to comment about this. I would play a remake! I couldn't get into this game as a kid and sold it, but that was mostly due to hardware limitation-related frustrations. I want to see this game with new graphics, polished physics, and a little more story to flesh out what the heck is going on.
fludictag 174 no
I love when people talking about Glover.
Great childhood memories.
Is it weird that I used to correlate the creepy hub world with Rock Bottom from SpongeBob? They were going to glove world afterall..
That's crazy that I'm not the only one, late to reply as i am
It does have a similar atmosphere, great worlds.
God, I love the glove.
It's so bad.
Rellik165 Lol If they ever make a sequel Glover should have a a ton of costumes to wear like the power glove :)
@@jamesg1827 or the infinity gauntlet. 😀
You just gotta love the glove, man
The bit with Nitro trying to not be himself and be an AVGN clone and failing at it spectacularly was amazing. You're just too legit for all that and I love it.
Also, your Seinfeld impression is eerily spot-on.
JERRY!
That’s gold Jerry! GOLD!
I think James spent his earliest years actually embracing his inner AVGNitis by just LOOKING for things to complain about, like this jump in one of the Ty games that he supposedly couldn't make, but really it's not that big a deal.
That thumbnail makes it seem like someone stole the last slice of pizza right from under your nose.
and he's like "OHO! SO YOU CHALLENGE ME?!"
21:41 No puzzle? George is getting upset!
Glover has a really good soundtrack, that when combined with the weird visuals, makes the game feel really trippy.
Glover : proving that game devs will make platformers out anything at the time.
And then there's Super Meat Boy.
Nathaniel Foga It’s a great platformer though
WAYYY better than the shitty devs today.
People should take more risks with their games.
Thank you for covering this, Glover was one of the most underrated platformers on the Nintendo 64
It came out the same year as Banjo Kazooie, Pokemon Red/blue, and Ocarina of Time. It had a lot of competition back in 1998
I agree with your sentiment. Even if Glover 2 is never a thing, the concept is neat enough to try again. Glover seems like one of those games that just burst with initial inspiration, attempting to be something different in the new era of 3D gaming. Despite some of its failures, it still stands out to me on concept alone and I respected the attempt on the N64 version.
Wonderfully scripted and paced as always, I think I might pick up the N64 version now! Also, a massive thanks for the shout-out, glad you like the logo intro!
Glover PC's graphics were so weird because they expected you to use a Voodoo card for the better settings. Grab a Glide wrapper (which lets you use Glide API games with Nvidia or AMD instead of just Voodoo) and it should work.
6:20
I always check menus too. I want to make sure everything's perfect before I dive right in
Well since we're in a time where remasters of 90's games are all over the place, we might get a Glover remaster.
But then there would be the problem of introducing a realistic physics engine, which could make the game artificially more difficult.
I would love a vr glover game/remaster
Hey James, great video!
Quick clarification/correction: "Hindu" is a religion whereas "Hindi" is a language spoken in India that is verbally similar to Urdu. At 09:38 you mispronounce "Hindi" as "Hindu". A common mistake and probably nobody cares, but just figured you should know.
With over 300 comments already, you might miss this. Really enjoyed the video btw!
I'm pretty sure the Glover commercial was making fun of Duke Nukem instead of Contra.
I'm feeling it's more Metal Gear Solid, since snake, lara and cloud were big mascots of the ps1. contra was kinda dead during the ps1/n64 era.
@@Sandlerverse I highly doubt it. It lioks nothing like Snake while the others resemble what they're based off of, and anyone who knew anything about Metal Gear knows it's nothing like that. My guess is it's a stereotypical action dude because they couldn't think of a third character to parody. So it fits Duke and Contra.
100% Duke spoof.
@@SilverSphereSorcerer Or it's possibly Marco from the Metal Slug franchise.
@@LordMetalSonic1987 Y'know, that's a good point. Metal Slug was still pretty popular then.
Was watching something else.
Got a notification.
Watching this now
I could totally see this remade with improved physics and proper camera controls
Let's hope ! This is awesome.
It's so refreshing to see a positive review of Glover (the 64 version at least) as this game tends get a bad wrap.
Also, compliments to your channel man! A lot of game review channels tend to be either long winded and lacking in...fun, or too jokey with little actual research done and are too unfocused. You strike an excellent balance between entertaining and informative.
“All you need is glove!”
yeah the few Glover fans seem really dedicated. I remember when there was a small movement to keep sending the Game Grumps copies of this game in hopes that they would finish their playthrough. It seems like a neat concept mostly just held back by technical limitations. Maybe it'll get a spiritual indie successor some day?
18:32-18:45 James Rolf would proud of ya if he's watches your video.
One of the reasons why I loved the LEGO games as a kid is the way the LEGO-Bois built the logo.
You're not the only one that checks all the options before playing, it's something I and alot of PC players do too, making sure to see every single possible setting and configuring it all to preference, is good. Cool vid btw
You can also sometimes find the completely fresh achievement listings and level / bonus content selection menus, which is fun.
01:40 What sick timeline?
Fırat Altay Nice reference lol
I remember seeing this game in every used game store in Sweden back in the days.
I always seem to mix this game up with Tonic Trouble and always think Ubisoft made both.
The burping and farting codes were pretty creative too.
Great review as always!
Pro tip: if you're googling Glover, make sure to include "-donald -danny" (without quotes) if you don't want results from the actors.
I loved GLOVER back in the day on my N64. Heck, your review made me wanting to play it again... Damn. Personally, I consider this a small gem. Thanks, Nitro Rad - a good and thorough review, as always.
FYI, Hasbro gaming still makes video Games, but they've gone full mobile
Until 2022, where they're planning to bring us a game based on My Little Pony's G5 incarnation, with Maretime Bay and all that.
Hi nitro! Sorry this comment isn't funny or clever, I just think you're cool
I love the comparisons between different game versions. It's definitely not as common to see such disparity between systems today so it's a nostalgic phenomenon.
i played this game a lot when i was a little kid
i didn’t get far though, but i played it a lot
also your part where you said you have a habit out of checking out a video games options before you do anything else, i don’t find it that weird. i usually always do stuff like that.
i like to check out how i can modify a video game to fit my preference before diving into it
If I had the same amount of confidence as hasbro had when they made twice the amount of cartridges for glover thinking that *glover* would be that successful then I probably would've managed to ask out my crush.
What is one thing you don’t wanna hear when your getting a prostate exam?
The doctor saying: “Hey look, no hands!”
I remember being obsessed with this game as a child...despite only beating the first level. I was not good at playing it.
And he *still* only got four fingers.
I assume they changed the evil glove's backstory to tie into the planned sequel?
The way you play around with the physics of different balls reminds me heavily of a little 2D indie platformer called "Within a Deep Forest"
If he had 5 fingers, he would have to curl the pinkie and ring fingers up in order to walk properly, meaning that he would only have one "hand".
Reminds me a lot of the (amazingly advanced, for the time) object physics system in the Mega Drive game Puggsy, which doesn't get nearly enough love.
You don’t want to know where the fifth finger is.
If Master Hand starred a platforming game it would be Glover...
*UNFUNNY JOKE ASIDE*
Great review! Love when you upload!
What is even weirder Nitro is in the unreleased Glover 2, that glove does the same thing in the PS1 intro. It is off putting that the normal glove is evil, but wants to be turned evil? The accident cutscene is much better.
Edit: Oh he talks about it later in the video. My mistake.
speaking about the currency name, that is a neat fact. it comes from the Arabic word (غريب) like you stated and its pronounced as *GH*a-reeb with a thin gh sound in the beginning. cool vid as usual, Nitro!
(Source: native Arabic dude.)
I'm so glad to see you finally touch upon this game, this is honestly in my top five N64 platformers from my childhood, and it still shocks me to think that if the used game store I went to years, and years ago had Donkey Kong 64 in their stock, I wouldn't have ever played this game, or Pokemon Snap (Got both that day). The game's not perfect, I'm not so blinded by nostalgia that I can't see the problems with it, but I love the game's premise, what it executes so impressively given the hardware, and just what it aimed to do in general. On top of that, the character is adorable, and I will never be able to look at that glove with anything but fondness.
I actually have the opposite feelings for the cancelled sequel, oddly enough. I absolutely hate it, and what it aimed to do. The sound effects when the characters spoke, the fact they made the other glove WANT to be evil like in the PlayStation version, which would bring into question why they'd even trust that glove to make anything anymore, the fact the world objects had big eyes slapped on them, it just felt like it wanted to be Banjo Kazooie, or any other RARE platformer other than it's own thing like the first game clearly went for. It derived so much from other sources that it forgot to add most of what they themselves made other than characters. Some mechanics looked like they'd work well in it, but I still dislike the sequel overall, and am personally glad THAT version of a sequel was canned. I just wish a new one took its' place.
I was doing a marathon of Nitro Rad videos and you posted this. My luck!!
Dude, It's ridiculous to think that it was almost 6 years ago that I began watching you, and now I'm watching you cover Glover. Just crazy man, love the content and keep it up.
This game was in a gaming mag I once had as a kid, and I read and reread it dozens of times, and never actually played it. THank you Nitro Rad, this is really awesome! I'm so glad I got to see what it was like.
The funny thing about the Glover 2 copyright kerfuffle is that the copyright owners (the people that own Glover, not Golden Mushroom) also has rereleased old games and unreleased ones, including that 40 winks n64 game that was kickstarted. I have no clue why they'd say no.
*Ball falls off stage:* _Test failed_
"Love the Glove" sounds like a condom commercial...
2:15 TONKA. Thank you for reminding me of one of the first video games I have ever played. I feel like its a childhood gem I seemed to forget all about because of smelly adulthood responsibilities. Wow...
So glad you covered this one.
I love Glover even though I am aware of its faults.
A huge part for this is thanks to Glovers charm and the whole idea itself.
The soundtrack of this game is really stuck in my head. I'm especially fond of the music in World 1.
You're not alone when it comes to checking all the options before starting a game.
Something I really appreciate about your reviews is how you try engage games with a more postive outlook and stay fair at the same time.
This becomes noticable around mid video when you talk about camera, controls and patience in particular.
The frankensteins monster boss really is the worst. :D
Never played the the PC and PS1 versions (owned like three copies of the N64 cartdrige though).
Colors of the PS1 version are nice.
I wished we could at least get some kind of high resolution re-release for current platforms.
It kinda sucks to be stuck with the 50 HZ versions of older games since I live in europe.
Never heard about this Glover trademark story.
Sadly I don't see a sequel happening as well.
Kinda surprised you didn't talk about the ending of the game but great job on the video nonetheless. : )
I remember Glover on the Nintendo 64 good times
I gotta say as a kid this was one of my favorite games as a kid next to a few other of the classic 64 and seeing you review it is a nice surprise!
Glover is one of my absolute favorite games. Glad to see this pop up in my TH-cam recs.
I used to just go in and mess around with the game's physics and use the low gravity code all the time. I still have the low grav code permanently ingrained into my muscle memory. I still sometimes use variations on it for passwords... Great game.
A little disappointed you didn't talk about the music though.
'Gotta love the glove !
Yes! I was playing this yesterday.
Mac Mcskullface it’s aged quite a bit but I can’t help but love it’s charm. I grew up playing the N64 version so it’s very nostalgic.
This was the first video i saw of you about one of my favorites, i always come back to it.
here i am
I really love the Atlantis music in this game. Those tracks bring back great memories, usually of the serenity of the beach
Hey, Nitro. Do you remember H E A R T B E A T? The game came out just recently and it's now complete.
Holy shit, thanks for reminding me!
I love Glover. Honestly. But Wow is it hard.
I really like how you spent the time to go and cover the PS2 Port alongside the N64. Really demonstrates how much effort you put into your videos. Keep it up man :)
I had this on the N64 as a kid and all I remember is trying it every few years, getting to the carnival and just stopping cause I got so frustrated
yeah because hedgehogs roll into balls
Yeah because hedgehogs curl into balls for defence
'Characteristics' as in abilities. In Sonic's case, going fast obviously was an addition rather than a natural ability
@@MxPokirby Any Ring I ever picked up never disappeared in a sparkle.
They do roll into balls, you silly.
because other hedgehogs can carry giant hammers
What an awesome video for my birthday.
Finding your channel with the super mario 64 DS video was the best thing that happened to me
Yeah, Glover was one of those games I was totally sold on from the box art and always saw on the shelf at Walmart. I really meant to save up enough allowance for it but it never happened. It's pretty neat to finally see gameplay after all this time, looks like I missed out...
If you have a computer you can download a free ROM of it and play it using an emulator.
ah man this video reminds me of my favorite stage wario ware it has a unique set of platforms it is small witch keeps matches fast pace and prone for come backs
Glove me tender
Glove me true
The farting bird on the swing really brings back my childhood memories of this game lol. Still have my n64 and glover going to have to play it as I don’t think I ever beat it as a child.
The only game I had on n64 for like a year, and I love it.
Nice video Nitro!
The real mascot of glove world
I love the clive and wrench shout out! I've been following it for years and I cant wait to play it.
Ok so i googled "Glover Remake" and got glover on steam. AND ITS STILL UPDATING TO THIS DAY.
happy birthday vyrewatch

@@zzcolby27 golly gee. I'm so sorry for ruining your day by saying thanks for my own minor bit of accomplishment. I'm so sorry that literally 5 seconds of your life was ruined by saying thanks. How dare I ruin a review about Glover for you. Thanks for teaching me to be a decent person like you. Never again will I add a small message on a comment ever again.

@@zzcolby27 well thanks for being such a productive member of society by pointing it out.
This game lookin sick af bro. Really unique! Would love to see more of this type of platformer being made.
I get really excited whenever I listen to the intro track of Nitro Rad’s videos
Gee, I wonder what SpongeBob's reactions would be of this game.
Why?
@@victordunjic9351 Spongebob is a huge fan of Glove World.
Love your videos man! You should really try the tak series or play battle for bikini bottom next!!
Well dang, that was actually really great! It honestly caught me by surprise that you went out of your way to cover the PS1 and PC versions after giving so much time to the N64 version. I really enjoyed just how comprehensive this was, and...hell, I'm subscribing!
I love this game! Its kind of difficult and frustrating but man I love that little glove. The controls are surprisingly satisfying and the music is🔥

watching nitro on a nice chilly day with a cup of coffee is just one of the best feelings
I love your videos and I look forward to them every week!
Actually garib in Arabic is pronounced Ghareeb
You should do Rocket: Robot On Wheels
I have to thank you man！ Not only for covering this game which I loved as a kid yet no one I knew he'd actually pleaded and there's not much online about it. But I also have to thank you for informing me about the save file issue. I never beat the game as a kid and I recently tried playing it again because I wanted to actually completed but I ended up giving up because twice my save data had been erased and I had assumed it was an issue N64. I think I'll try it again or copying my save data to all the other files every so often.
I agree with you on so many points though. The bonus Frogger mini game in the first world is hell, and there are many frustrating points where I'm trying to do something and the ball ends up flying off the platform. Plus I'm quite impatient so this game is hard for me.
This is actually the first time i hear of this game and i was born in the 90s. You bring good points and criticisms in this. Actually makes me think they _should_ make a sequel. The little touch of gloversitting on the edge is a genuinly cute touch of Hat-kid proportions so having that in the old era is a real passionate touch.
Could you please make a video about iconoclasts its a wonderful game and one of the best metroidvania with dark story in opinion.
@@MxPokirby I know, but I only played iconoclasts so I can't say anything about the other games.
Dude why didn't you mention the music they straight up had a 4 minute track for each individual level and also for each version of the overworld and also the bosses and even level clear fanfares.
I really gotta hand it to the composer(s) of this game haha right that's funny don't forget to give a thumb up
That Circus 1 theme GOSH!
songs were really catchy. the circus one ended getting stuck in my head. !
The story about your elementary school friend made me laugh like a little girl! Kind of shocked at the amount of care and effort that seemed to have gone in this game, the idle animations alone show more care and creativity than some games now!
This takes me back. Loved this game.
