Not 100% certain on what I can give feedback on but it would've been nice to have some of the dialog or jokes translated so we could understand what's going on a bit better. I felt like the progression through the middle section of the video was a bit too quick? Like I felt like I was missing a couple of details, like how you mentioned about the map and its paths without showing off some if the different worlds/land scapes. I think pointing out that the game was a bit easy earlier on in the video would've been a nice addition as I wasn't aware the game was easy before expert mode and assumed the game had a fair amount of challenge in the first part. Maybe a bit more time should've been focusing on the spectre fights? Would've been nice to have a bit more knowledge on the mechanics and what not
I didn't know what I was getting into when I started this video, I just always know to click on your new videos when they pop up and get recommended to me. So I jumped onto this one. And I was cautious and wary of it once I realized this wasn't VG Myths. I sort of thought it'd just be a retrospective about a game I couldn't care less about. But INSTEAD, it was a retrospective about a game that you definitely made me actually care about. The concept of this game really lent itself very well towards being a hook. I wouldn't pass up 10 minutes talking about monkey pants. Fact, I won't. And the visuals that the game devs created for the cutscenes were of such a high fidelity, I wanted to know what gameplay was holding them together with that concept. I do see why it's important to explain the name of the game and how it fits into the world, but that did make me begin to believe this would just be facts shown at me, which I wasn't going ot sit through over a game I had NO connection to (which is sort of the point of this series). It helped that I realized this was a sequel to the Ape Escape game you previously played; so it was a VERY good idea for you to put these videos back to back. That sincerely retained me for the whole thing, I was invested. Seriously, this game's ridiculous plot did a lot towards making me watch this video. And mostly because of your sign off talking about the health of this series did I realize this is a new series which I'm going to choose to seek out and enjoy. The sign off is also what prompted me to give you this text brick. I hope it helps you out. If the rest of Region Locked are good, I'll watch them. I even finally gave you a sub today, cause I realized I wasn't. Congrats, best of luck with this really fun project of yours dude. Let me leave your house, peace.
I adore the idea of this show and honestly I'd like to get back to having other content inbetween VG Myths episodes. I mean the TH-cam algorithm is a cruel mistress so I get it if you do what you gotta do. But now that there are so many channels doing #isitpossible videos it feels like there's less of a need for VG Myths and now I'm mostly here because you're charismatic, funny and you seem to really be genuinely enjoying whatever it is you do
These videos are actually pretty good, you have a more.. enjoyable (imo) format when compared to DYKG region locked videos. There's not much to really improve other than finding that balance between goofy entertaining facts and actually stuff about the game. Please keep making these!
I am 4 years late to notify you that the pun in the nugetcha is actually not nuku, but nugu, meaning "to take off" or "to undress", making it even more literal
GameChamp, if you ever for some reason decide to look through your 2 year old videos comments, PLEASE make more videos like this, they are so funny and well made, and while VGmyths is also great, i hope you do more content like this. please.
This was great! Perhaps you can cover the other Japan only Ape Escape games? I really enjoyed 1-3 as a kid... I'm always happy to hear you talk about stuff as I enjoy your humour a lot and I'm a bit of a weeb so this is the perfect series for me! I hope it does well enough for you to continue! ❤️
It's such a shame how rocky ape escape releases where. Pumped & primed never got a PAL release despite getting ads there, games like big mission and million monkeys only being released in Japan, the list goes on.
Finally a not VGMyth video after a While! By that i don't mean that i hate the vg myths,those are actually my favourite videos on the channel,but doing too much in a row is never a solution.Every channel needs variety,and i was missing the old series
I love learning about obscure games that were never released in the West, so please keep making more of these. Games based on anime in particular are often goldmines for bizarre material.
tbh I love this video it seeing games that are either too weird (de pants all the monkeys) or just didn't meet the expectations of the west enough to make it here is awesome. Your goal to also document games like this for the west is a super awesome goal
“There are some boundaries ya’ just don’t cross, and all of them are pants” Just. Wow. Truer words have never been spoken. So many people need to learn to respect the boundaries of pants.
Nice, I thought that ape escape was a stand-alone title when I played it on the PSP, I am glad to see that the series continued in its wacky style, also you should link the 1st Region Freedom episode in the description. Also loved the washing scene.
yes more region freedom!! I actually love vids like this, seems like a nice relaxing break from trying to 100% games with some ludacrisly insane stipulation
This video was awesome! I didn't know you had another Region Locked video, I'll have to go give it a watch! I really appreciated you not only completing it and showing all the completion bonuses but actually talking about the game and how it plays itself. Im a huge Ape Escape fan, and I had no idea this game even existed, but now I feel like I've gotten to experience it thanks to your well-made video!
I show this to people who want to get into ape escape. I just say "sooooo...............monkey pants..." and they are endlessly confused. But every time I have shown this to people, they come up to me and say......"sooooooooo............monkey pants...." and we just nod totally understanding one another because of this video. Thank you for uploading this work of art! :)
This wasn't your main type of video, and I'm not even a fan of the series (despite maining the character in PSASBR), but this video was great. It was really cool to see a strange game like this. Please do more of these!
I didn't even realize the first video existed until now. Understandable if they're not common, but both are really fascinating and I would love to see more. Not really a criticism, but more of a hope: the games are little known to the west, but if there's ever some resource to let those of us who don't speak Japanese experience the story, that being included in the video would be fantastic. A translated script, or something along those lines.
I think you're spot on about region freedom being an important series for the channel. If nothing else it's interesting to hear about games that were "too japanese" to release in the west and I don't know that many people are covering the topic. I think the current format is fine as is, as an improvement you could maybe give some tidbits on how the japanese context of the games differs from their western counterparts (censorship, cultural differences, translation changing meaning etc.). 頑張ってねゲームチャムップ3000さん！
This episode totally rocked! Keep doing Region Freedom and keep doing what you like!! Having an awesome and fun video is better when you want to be doing it!
This was an interesting game to see. I really enjoyed the first Region Freedom but was late to that one. You really polished up your approach this time around
Honestly, I found this a bit easier to follow than VGMyths tends to be- I haven't played like, any of the games you've done there, so that decreased my enjoyment of them, but it was assumed that I hadn't played this, so you explained everything you talked about, even briefly. I definitely had fun watching this, and though there were fewer jokes, I think that the informational tone allowed that- it didn't seem like you wasted much if any words, which I'm a fan of.
"Weather we wanted it or not we started a war with the cabal" fantastic use of a shout out. I would like more of this series. I always enjoy learning about the odd games we never got over in the states.
I love this! Especially since I never played these types of games. Learning about them in your videos is an amazing experience. Seriously even if this series can't survive on your channel. At least you tried and brought your A game!
this isbeautiful. If i had the time and money to do it, i would translate the whole game just to play it, because this is amazing. thank you for sharing this lost gem, i wouldhave never known about this otherwise.
that's not even a myth, that's just a speedrun. Like, what question is being answered here? "Can you beat Majora's mask in less than 3 days?" Because the answer is yes. It's not even that hard.
Region Freedom is a really cool concept - give it some time to catch on! Also, I think it might be good for your mental health to do something else than just insane challenges haha...
I really like this video and hope we get more like these! - Also, I know there’s a lot of Japan exclusive Ape Escape games and I’m wondering if you have any interest of covering any of them in the future or you’re okay with just covering this one.
I personally liked the video a lot! You explained the game well and it was entertaining to watch. I think the one things I would say is maybe show some examples of the dialogue for the members of the viewers that don't know Japanese! Besides that it feels like another video from you and that's a good thing!
Region Freedom sadly is a super interesting concept for a series that just doesn't hit the "Watch someone do what they're not meant to" thing that general audiences flock to. I mean, DYKGaming's Region Locked also regularly falls 2-5 times lower in views than the more standard and generally applicable "Did you know?" videos. That said, I would love to see more of this series, and thoroughly enjoyed the previous episode (as well as this one of course).
I'll never forget the fuckin time I found out about this game on Wikipedia and thought I was missing out a run of the mill ape escape sequel. I am still recovering from the sheer weirdness.
As someone who hasn't played an Ape Escape game and thus not a fan. This game looks so silly but fun/funny, never knew it existed before now. Great vid
Can you bear Uncharted without long guns? Basically, only pistols, grenades, and melee allowed. On top of already making combat more difficult, there may be ammo problems, especially twords the end of the game. I personally love the uncharted games and would love to see this challenge attempted.
"Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold."
Really enjoyed this vid. Didn't even know the first one existed! Going to swing back and watch it now that I know. Super fun to learn about a game I sadly was never aware of. Maybe someone will translate it someday.
"This is a videogame in which characters have a philosophical debаte over whether or not pants are the future" Oh, so the KiIl la KiIl game was here all along
"Whetever we wanted it or not, we stepted into a war with the cabal" is a genius Name but other than that it was an amazing Video and i cant really give any tips to make IT better because it already was great as it was
God I love the Ape Escape franchise, just fun nonsense, great sense of humor yet nothing annoying or patronizing, and just a wonderfully creative setting and characters. Real talk, if any franchise deserves a revival...
This is a really cool concept, don’t feel chained to vgmyths
This right here! I think this is really fun
*NO*
There hasn't been a new Region Freedom video since this one (over a year ago), so rip.
This is why we need a road to 100 reboot
i know this video wont get as many views because its not your standard content, but i really liked it!
Man I hate it when my pants get vacuumed off of my body! S M H
Yeah, but that's the only way my pants get washed, so i get it.
MisterJackTheAttack I just wash them in the shower with me
@The Accidental Hipster OOF
i hate it even more when i get sucked down a whirlpool and _then_ my pants get sucked.
They had a monkey dance in NYC, but people who lived there had to wait 18 years to see it in this video since they never got the game.
1:36 Right on cue, player avatar and resident loser, Kakeru walks in at exactly the wrong moment and is forced against his will to do the laundry for an entire friggin zoo.
is there a translated text dump where we can read these pants based debates? it sounds amazing in like, the worst way posible.
If i remember correctly, no, you can play the game in english now though (except for textures if you don't use a emulator)
Good news: This game now has an English translation patch, so we can finally enjoy those enlightening pants debates.
Now just wait till the Million Monkeys comed and then, ape escape PS2 spinoffs in english complete, the psp ones are mostly in english
Not 100% certain on what I can give feedback on but it would've been nice to have some of the dialog or jokes translated so we could understand what's going on a bit better.

I love all your videos rather it's VG myths or games are dumb or this new series! Your brand of humor makes it entertaining as hell

Hey at least he spells it right
I read this right after hearing it
all according to keikaku
These videos are actually pretty good, you have a more.. enjoyable (imo) format when compared to DYKG region locked videos. There's not much to really improve other than finding that balance between goofy entertaining facts and actually stuff about the game. Please keep making these!
Wow, I rather enjoyed this. While VG Myths will probably always be your biggest series, I wouldn't really mind seeing more of this
We really need another Ape Escape :(
I am 4 years late to notify you that the pun in the nugetcha is actually not nuku, but nugu, meaning "to take off" or "to undress", making it even more literal
Ooooh good catch!
I really love the region freedom episodes.
They are quite interesting considering they cover things never released in english.
GameChamp, if you ever for some reason decide to look through your 2 year old videos comments, PLEASE make more videos like this, they are so funny and well made, and while VGmyths is also great, i hope you do more content like this. please.

“Why are we still here? Just to suffer? I’m going to take back our pants.” made me smile! Great job! Thank You GameChamp! :)!
“There are some boundaries ya’ just don’t cross, and all of them are pants”
Just. Wow. Truer words have never been spoken. So many people need to learn to respect the boundaries of pants.
This was a really fun video! You killed me with the metal gear speech XD
Nice, I thought that ape escape was a stand-alone title when I played it on the PSP, I am glad to see that the series continued in its wacky style, also you should link the 1st Region Freedom episode in the description. Also loved the washing scene.
I think this series is a great idea and I hope this video does well enough to justify continuing it!
I absolutely love these videos. Both this and the first video were both really well done so I definitely support making more
yes more region freedom!! I actually love vids like this, seems like a nice relaxing break from trying to 100% games with some ludacrisly insane stipulation
This video was awesome! I didn't know you had another Region Locked video, I'll have to go give it a watch!

Being born in 2006 and having a dad who plays video games I used to play ape escape
I must have missed the other Region Freedom episode, but I would watch more if you made them! This is a great idea and was very well done (:
I show this to people who want to get into ape escape. I just say "sooooo...............monkey pants..." and they are endlessly confused. But every time I have shown this to people, they come up to me and say......"sooooooooo............monkey pants...." and we just nod totally understanding one another because of this video.

I always thought that the Capsule Monsters video was criminally underrated, so I'm just glad that the series is back. Keep up the good work!
Hey game champ, I love your videos especially the dumb fun gaming series. Thankyou for bringing me and my sister great entertainment.
I think you're spot on about region freedom being an important series for the channel.

finally something else than vgmyths :D thank you and i hope you make even more about this concept
I love this! Especially since I never played these types of games. Learning about them in your videos is an amazing experience. Seriously even if this series can't survive on your channel. At least you tried and brought your A game!
You just made my day.
Some people might not watch this series because it’s not VG Myths, but it’s definitely a great one.
Wow, this is better than most other channels that cover games that never released in the US. I hope you make more!
Man. Ape Escape needs to make a comeback. It's such a fun series.
You did a great job on this! I’m sure there’s lots of interesting Japan-only stuff to talk about, please keep doing these
This was really good, I hope people get behind ur non vg myths videos
Love that you're doing this series now!!!
It’s nice to see some varied content, I love VG myths but variety is the spice of life
I really enjoyed the video! I hope this one gets enough views for you to continue, I certainly hadn't heard of this game until today.
I still always get caught off guard seeing the end of the video, get ready to close it, and hear my name.
I thought the monkey at the end was real...
I love vgmyths but, I really like this series so far too! I hope you make more of these!
Not going to lie I was laughing and mortified about the expert mode
I love how you went with a full Japanese outro for your video about a Japan exclusive game
I didn't even realize this was a series you were doing. Thanks, TH-cam.

"GOLDEN PANTS! GOLDEN PANTS!" -Chuggaaconroy
This review really reminded me of what hooked me to your channel: sonic fan game reviews
this is a really neat series, champ! thank you for your hard work as always
this isbeautiful. If i had the time and money to do it, i would translate the whole game just to play it, because this is amazing.
thank you for sharing this lost gem, i wouldhave never known about this otherwise.
Try finishing Majora’s Mask in as few three-day cycles as possible
You can do it in one
There's a speedrun category for doing it in one cycle (ignoring the first mandatory one)
Aaron R. I thought you needed one in order to get the Ocarina back.
How about a Bomber Notebook completion in as few cycles as possible?
that's not even a myth, that's just a speedrun. Like, what question is being answered here? "Can you beat Majora's mask in less than 3 days?" Because the answer is yes. It's not even that hard.
@@jingusflorpus4274 He's done other challenge runs before. Haven't you seen the Mr. Perfect Rockman challenges?
This video was important and informative. Your content is great.
I'm mad that this game has escaped my knowledge for all these years
Region Freedom is a really cool concept - give it some time to catch on! Also, I think it might be good for your mental health to do something else than just insane challenges haha...
This was absolutely hilarious and I'd love to see more region locked games covered on your channel!
Also for real tho PLEASE cover more stuff like this, this is the perfect sister series to VG Myths and I love it.
I really like this video and hope we get more like these! - Also, I know there’s a lot of Japan exclusive Ape Escape games and I’m wondering if you have any interest of covering any of them in the future or you’re okay with just covering this one.
Million Monkeys is the entire reason I started studying Japanese, so I'm nowhere close to done yet~
I personally liked the video a lot! You explained the game well and it was entertaining to watch. I think the one things I would say is maybe show some examples of the dialogue for the members of the viewers that don't know Japanese! Besides that it feels like another video from you and that's a good thing!
I think it's a neat concept and would love seeing more of this kind of videos - they maybe don't get the views but i would appreciate it
This is officially my favorite game that I'll probably never play.
*PANTS TRES BIEN!"
This was great and if your bringing back this please bring back dumb fun gaming as well that was my favorite series of yours
Region Freedom sadly is a super interesting concept for a series that just doesn't hit the "Watch someone do what they're not meant to" thing that general audiences flock to.
I mean, DYKGaming's Region Locked also regularly falls 2-5 times lower in views than the more standard and generally applicable "Did you know?" videos.
That said, I would love to see more of this series, and thoroughly enjoyed the previous episode (as well as this one of course).
I REALLY hope this video flies, I'd love to see more.
I'll never forget the fuckin time I found out about this game on Wikipedia and thought I was missing out a run of the mill ape escape sequel.
I am still recovering from the sheer weirdness.
Great video as always Gamechamp!
7:05 The YTP-style sentence mixing had me rolling on the floor laughing.
As someone who hasn't played an Ape Escape game and thus not a fan. This game looks so silly but fun/funny, never knew it existed before now. Great vid
Can you bear Uncharted without long guns? Basically, only pistols, grenades, and melee allowed. On top of already making combat more difficult, there may be ammo problems, especially twords the end of the game. I personally love the uncharted games and would love to see this challenge attempted.

He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold."
Riekelt introduced me to the ape escape series and I'm forever glad for it
Really enjoyed this vid. Didn't even know the first one existed! Going to swing back and watch it now that I know. Super fun to learn about a game I sadly was never aware of. Maybe someone will translate it someday.
"Where you use a bunch of fancy gadgets..." well normal people do
I had no idea the first region freedom video existed, but I'll be watching it now and I hope there's more.
That description is magical
"This is a videogame in which characters have a philosophical debаte over whether or not pants are the future"
Oh, so the KiIl la KiIl game was here all along
can i just say that i'm amazed the klk game is actually coming out in the west, and i wonder how much the ps4 version will be censored
Loved the new Region vid, would be sad to see it gone!
Ape Escape was such a wholesome franchise
"Whetever we wanted it or not, we stepted into a war with the cabal" is a genius Name but other than that it was an amazing Video and i cant really give any tips to make IT better because it already was great as it was
I would not be opposed to seeing more of these.
I hope to see more of these, they're very interesting!
Yea! I would love to see more ^^
God I love the Ape Escape franchise, just fun nonsense, great sense of humor yet nothing annoying or patronizing, and just a wonderfully creative setting and characters. Real talk, if any franchise deserves a revival...
1:05 Is that Misty from Pokémon Red Blue Green and Yellow?
