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
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.
i know this video wont get as many views because its not your standard content, but i really liked it!
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)
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
Its called strategy!

Hey at least he spells it right
I read this right after hearing it
all according to keikaku
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
We really need another Ape Escape :(
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
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?
Wow, I rather enjoyed this. While VG Myths will probably always be your biggest series, I wouldn't really mind seeing more of this
I really love the region freedom episodes.
They are quite interesting considering they cover things never released in english.
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 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.
Like it also the last episode was yugio so ya
PANTS TRIEBEN
Over all i love this new series its a great idea but. Even if this video is not popular ill do one more of a game in a popular series or a game that got a new one announce on E3
I think the issue with the other region freedom is the fact that a lot of people don't care that much about YuGiOh
So before Rui could see Shadow Pokémon, she worked with a professor to remove the pants from simians?
Yep. Turns out that shadow aura she could see was a pants-induced hallucination that just happened to be right every time.
Love the vid, please make more of this series. Its just fun to learn about obscure games like this.
10:23
This game was made 2 months before 9/11...
THE MONKEY DID 9/11
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 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！
They were drunk while writing this game
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 (:
Please make more. I want more Reigon Freedom if it's stuff like this.
“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.
GC3K, you can read Japanese? Yo, mad respect.
Pretty sure he speaks some at the end of every video... Not sure the direct translation, but I think he usually says "Thank you very much" in Japanese.
Is called strategy,Stra..te..gy
-Spector 2019
"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."
This was a really fun video! You killed me with the metal gear speech XD
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).
Pretty sure the pun is actually supposed to be on 脱げる (ぬげる, "to undress"), not 抜く. Typically used when you're undressing yourself, not others (that would be 脱がす), but puns don't really care about proper usage.
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.
Can u try beating legend of Zelda Majoras mask without USING a mask
Would love to see you pull together a video on Million Monkeys. It's by far my favorite Ape Escape game from the one's that didn't make it to the west.
Also it's really low on western documentation and my lack of japanese knowledge has made it a bit difficult for me to figure out the weapon craft system...
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.
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 spent this entire video wondering how in the world does a game like this even exist.
What crazy bastard over in Japan looked at Ape Escape and said "we should make a sequel to it that involves vaccuming their pants off".
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
For a episode of VG myths you should do a hollow knight no geo run
Yo gamechamp I got a myth for you to bust
Is it possible to to beat castle crashers without getting hit. It's pretty hard but I think you can do it. But of course you don't have to but just asking. It's a really good game and it's on steam so try it if you want. Hoping to see it 😊👍
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 think a good idea just to drum up a little viewership would be covering Japan only sequels or prequels to popular games that way the algorithm will show these videos in front of more people's faces 1 possible game you could do (despite being well-documented in the Western side(and and horizontal centre of) the earth) would be mother 3 because I get the feeling a lot of people would watch a video on that game I sure as hell now I would watch it 20 times (that's not a joke)
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.
I thought the monkey at the end was real...
Wait, so they filmed the live action promotion in the country they never bothered to release the game in?
Well I guess a weird game deserves weird marketing decisions.
“Why are we still here? Just to suffer? I’m going to take back our pants.” made me smile! Great job! Thank You GameChamp! :)!
This is officially my favorite game that I'll probably never play.
*PANTS TRES BIEN!"
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
Some people might not watch this series because it’s not VG Myths, but it’s definitely a great one.
Take a shot every time he says "pants"... No wait, don't... You'll probably die.
To make that stupid music video during the credits a little Darker, it was filmed in New York in 2001, which means the old World Trade Center is part of the skyline
I still always get caught off guard seeing the end of the video, get ready to close it, and hear my name.
Not going to lie I was laughing and mortified about the expert mode
I can’t tell if the “self-defense” gag at 2:53 is a crack at America, or just a general joke about the twisted nature of the game.
Being born in 2006 and having a dad who plays video games I used to play ape escape
1:05 Is that Misty from Pokémon Red Blue Green and Yellow?
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.
You just made my day.
"Where you use a bunch of fancy gadgets..." well normal people do
I swear as sexist and inapropriate as it would be at least a game where you vacumm girl's bikini parts would at least make some sort of peverted sense
Japan will do that one day, i swear
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!
So can you beat it without vacuuming pants?
3:34
"GOLDEN PANTS! GOLDEN PANTS!" -Chuggaaconroy
Can you do is it possible to be Cuphead only using p shoter
It’s like kill la kill with monkeys.
I need to play it now
The end absolutly killed me... xD
"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
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
it's nice to see you do more miscellaneous videos
I think this series is a great idea and I hope this video does well enough to justify continuing it!
"The online video game TV show that plays games that never made their way to the west"
So when will we be seeing Mother 3
Good mother of pipo, you S-ranked everything!
Hey game champ, I love your videos especially the dumb fun gaming series. Thankyou for bringing me and my sister great entertainment.
I absolutely love these videos. Both this and the first video were both really well done so I definitely support making more
I'd love to see more of this series. Some of these games are just... wonderfully nonsensical.
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!
Hey, I enjoyed this episode. It was really interesting and you went over everything that I wanted to know. Good job!
An idea for VG Myths: what levels in A Hat in Time can be cleared without jumping/how many jumps does it take to complete A Hat in Time?
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
Dude, this was awesome! I’d love to see more videos like this!
Mega man & bass without taking damage
this is peak game
You should play Mother 3 next
Mega man 3 without rush coil
He was my main in play station all-stars for the ps3. Square up any day, comment section!
Can your next one be Dai Gyakuten Saiban AKA The Great Ace Attorney? They've actually made a full English fandub patch that also has the pleasant side effect of bypassing the 3DS' region locking.
Region freedom looks like a super dope series! You should totally play thingles balloon trip of love
Ape Escape was such a wholesome franchise
Man, it's a shame people don't really watch your "real" videos. You have a lot of talent for making legitimate reviews entertaining. I feel like the show's namesake needs to be expanded on to really stand out though. Most of this video's content would largely be unchanged if the game was released worldwide. A clearer emphasis on the game's Japanese roots/importability would serve as a more cohesive theme; maybe you could sprinkle in some of the game's behind-the-scenes history to further the message. Either way, I feel like rendering the show more unique would definitely help its appeal.
I never heard of the series. I’ll have to watch the first episode now lol
Can you beat Rock man 8 and Rock man 9 and Rock man 4 and Rock man 10 without getting hit
It's so cool
This has nothing to do with nothing but when I played Pumped and Primed as a kid, I thought the "D"s on the boxart were actually "O"s, so after I got through the whole game with my brother, I actually asked him "But where's Pumpeo and Primo?"
I'm literally never gonna have a chance to tell that story to anyone so might as well do it now :v
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.
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! :)
