You requested video ideas, so... Sick Day Games. You'd have two segments you could do: games that are the perfect things to play on those days when you're under the weather and just want something low-key and cheerful to keep your spirits up between the bouts of coughing and/or vomiting and/or sleeping off the funk, and games that you play on those days you might not actually be any more sick than just sick of responsibilities and need something to zone out with.
Astal is the most “Sega Saturn” game ever. -really nice 2D sprites -god tier music -janky but charming english localization -flew under the radar when it came out -insanely expensive on eBay
@@Invidente7 Because that was often *all* we had. Working Designs was the closest to a modern day localization company, and they took a lot of liberties. Sure, we were grateful for eating dirt, but that doesn't mean anything when dirt was all we could eat.
As someone who grew up with Archie Sonic comics, fun fact: Astal actually shows up as a background character at random points. He never says anything, but you’ll see him celebrating/fighting sometimes whenever there’s a large group of people. I mention this because for the longest time I had no idea who or what in the world he was supposed to be. Kid me made up my own name and backstory for him and everything lol. It was only until recently that I found out who he was and where he actually came from. So I kinda have this weird soft spot for the guy even though I’ve never played the game.
They didnt slap the Die Hard license on it, it was always a Die Hard game. The Japanese version came out the month prior as Dynamite Deka because in Japan the Die Hard Rights were owed by another company. The serial numbers were filed off in Japan, not something slapped on for International release.
Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure for the 3DS is shamefully overlooked among SEGA's output in the 2010s. It still boggles my mind that it never became a full-blown franchise with like five sequels and a tie-in anime series!
I appreciate the Virtual On Oratorio Tangram mention. That game deserves way more love. Creative twin stick controls, charming graphics/presentation and some of the mechanics like damage buffs at low health were implemented in fighting games like Capcom vs. SNK 2.
That Space Cadet sound effect just awakened a memory of sitting in our dining room on the family computer until what felt like 3a but was probably no later than 10 when I was like 6 or 7. Man that game was awesome.
Late comment but they didn't do NOTHING with it exactly- Dynamite Cop was designed by Makoto Uchida, who was SEGA's director behind Golden Axe and Altered Beast so the arcade lineage was strong, and it received a few sequels that continued to refine it's style of 3D beat-em-up as well as gave inspiration to a team at SEGA who developed the arcade / Xbox game Spikeout... a team lead by a certain Toshihiro Nagoshi... who'd later go on to create the Yakuza series, starting in 2005. Granted, Dynamite Deka was 96, Spikeout was 98, so it certainly took them a good long while until they finally made something of it, but at least they tried? Gold star for trying?
14:24 Triple Trouble was so good that it got a fan remake to make it closer to the 16 bit games on the Genesis. I encourage anyone that hasn't played it to do so if you can! So good... Bonanza Bros is my favorite Genesis game and it's a shame it doesn't get the credit it deserves for being the first co-op stealth game. A dang shame it never got a sequel or reboot, but I'm glad they made it into Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. And shout-out to the sister series: Puzzle & Action. I love WarioWare and it's basically that with, yet again, co-op. Ichidant-R, the _second_ game in the series got a Sega Ages port a couple years ago and it even comes with the Mega Drive port. It's completely in Japanese, but the online manual has some translations. It's also an RPG and the mini-game mode supports up to 4 players. Another easy recommendation.
I'm so glad Sega is still around and going strong these days. They're still easily a top 5 publisher for me, regardless of how much they've changed over the years. Note: Anarchy Reigns fucking rules!
trivia about Clockwork Knight' 2s release, it's actually just a localization of the 1+2 compilation that was released in Japan, just with the first half locked out. but you can access it with a code. on the main menu: press up, down, left, up, left, down, right, up, L, R, L, R
My favorite Lani Minella fun fact is that she was originally the voice of Maya Amano in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, a game where Nyarlathotep is the main antagonist, and now she's the voice of Nyanlathotep in Sucker for Love, a horror dating sim with Lovecraftian waifus.
I was surprised that Austin didn't talk about one of the main draws of Blood Will Tell which is how the game responds to Hyakkimaru regaining his body parts such as controller vibration being enabled when you get your nervous system back and the game becoming colored once you get your eyes back. The "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" scene we saw was from when he got his vocal cords back and prior to that, Hyakkimaru's voice had a filter put on it.
Astal!! That's quite fun as two player, and having the bird attack the moving platforms to pause them in Sea of Clouds makes it SO much easier! And we played so much Clockwork Knight 1 and 2, even if we had trouble properly beating them - funny to think they were Keyblade wielders before Kingdom Hearts... Fantastic look back at these classics, my husband and I enjoyed going down memory lane!
Very great video & surprised this came out so soon! As for forgotten Sega titles I got two in mind for that, Rhythm Thief, a very sick rhythm playing as a stylish thief named Phantom R & appreciate how it also has a charming story on top of it then there's Sands of Destruction, a mega niche DS RPG that is really good for a subversion of saving the world to destroy the world for being beyond repair plus the combat is really good & surprised not a lot of people know about it but at least give the music a listen since it was done by Yasunori Mitsuda (Did most of the Xeno games & Chrono Trigger)
Thank you for covering Astal!! I picked it up as a kid from the bargain bin for like 8 bucks. I went in expecting really nothing since it was "2D crap" but ended up really loving the game. Anime was still really new in my neck of the woods, only like 6 people in my school knew of it so we tried to consume anything we could. Astal went from a curiosity to a special place in my heart. The scaling, rotation and unique art make it still awesome today.
11:00 The design and skills of Pulseman was later used as the inspiration for the Pokemon "Rotom" an electric ghost type that also can posses electric devices like a poltergeist to live inside them and grant them unique characteristics and is currently used in many everyday appliances in the pokemon world such as the Rotomdex in Alola and the Rotom phones in Galar and Paldea.
Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole for the Genesis is the greatest classic Zelda-like of all time, weird controls be damned. Stick with it, and you'll find a hidden gem so bright, you will need welding goggles. It was the first video game I played that felt like an immersive, whole three dimensional world, what with the awesome isometric pixel depth. There are also romhacks that fix the controls, if you really need it.
This video absolutely wasn't clickbait. Like holy hell, that's a lot of games that I didn't know existed. And some of which I wanted to play! Mostly the Dororo one as well as Napple Tale. There was an unfortunate detail you did overlook about MadWorld though: it was made by Platinum Games. And holy hell, it's as gory as it is a vibe. I even contemplated wanting to play it again this year because of your vids, but then I remember I would have to use a Wii remote which keeps draining batteries til they rot even when not used.....
" An abrasive wall of noise and color"This is my favorite phrase now to describe video games of that time because that's exactly how I felt about video games at that point.😂 I know I always wanted to be into video games back then but -I mean nowadays I can appreciate the classic sounds beeps and boops but I am very grateful that the implementation of audio has improved greatly and we have actual music now❤
Wonderboy In Monster World was one of those random games that crossed into my existence and I LOVED it. Ristar also shouldn't be forgotten, it's a great game :(
holy moly the uploads are insane!! (my faves are PSO Blue Burst, Sonci Advance 3, Puyo Puyo Fever, Virtual On OT, Crazy Taxi and The House of The Dead III)
New video THREE DAYS LATER!? Boy, i don't know what we did but we are so thankful for it! Also my favorite SEGA games (that aren't SONIC) are MADWORLD and The House of the Dead
Oh the number of games in here that has me Leo-pointing at the screen as I, a man in my thirties also relive the younger years. Ristar, Taz-games (it was the other one where Taz tries to escape an alien zoo for me though), Clockwork Knight, Die Hard Arcade (actually played it in a genuine arcade!) and Story of Thor which was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever played at the time, a clear indicator that I was a 2D-lover who'd permanently find himself on the losing end of "this thing you love is mainstream and gets a lot of love"-train... of course I then also bought and played Madworld. Kinda surprised it got THAT high scores though- game was fun but I always felt at odds with it's gameplay. Felt like you were meant to find the ways to get high-scoring kills but those weren't always the most effective kills, so I just stuck to the quickest combo to kill enemies and don't recall getting very good scores from it. Boss-fights were fun though. And props for showing off Napple Tale- I didn't even know that game existed, but it looks like just the kind of stylish game I'd love to play back then.
Awesome video as always, keep it up. Though I will say it feels weird being called out for liking Time Stalkers LOL. Something charming about the weird amalgamation of a game it is that's always drawn me to it.
Crusader of Centy is one of the few I went back to buy, later in life, CIB. I was 8 or 10 when I was renting this and had no idea how good it actually was. Time travelling, animal-chatting platformer with big 'Are We The Baddies?' vibe with that outrageous color palette and amazing soundtrack. The best Link to the Past game.
If Sega came back right now with the Dreamcast 2 and an actually good team with really cool ideas to add to the console to make it very unique and fun for people to develop for I guarantee you all of us would jump at that
Dude 1 video per week, take a rest dude, hope you and your editor are okay and well rested, the qulity is consistent and the amount of videos is crazy, keep the good work dude!!
Agreed about those Sonic Game Gear games. Only found myself a Game Gear last December, got it with Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos and just last month I picked up Triple Trouble. Chaos and Triple Trouble are my favourite games on the platform par none, and the ones I easily sunk the most hours into. They retain so much from the console entries, while still keeping with the times and being original. Triple Trouble is the better game of the two, Chaos' level design is very.. boring, or empty I suppose, and Fang The Sniper is pretty damn cool in Triple Trouble. I would avoid Sonic 2 though, it's super cheap but also extremely difficult. Like I've never beaten the very first boss of the game, and it isn't difficult in like a Dark Souls way where you build skill to beat the game, no, the first boss battle is complete luck, your on a slope that Sonic continually slides down, at the bottom is an enemy you can't kill, and you have to narrowly avoid bouncing balls (I think that's what they are?) that come at you at random intervals. Oh and did I mention there isn't a single ring in the entire stage, so if you get hit by the ball even once, or the enemy at the bottom, you INSTANTLY DIE. Most people online agree, they haven't got past the first damn boss either. If you want quality Sonic games, stick with Chaos and Triple Trouble.
Excluding Persona and Yakuza, my favourite Sega series is Valkyria Chronicles. While the series was popular when it first released and sold well enough, I feel like it is being slowly forgotten by Sega over time. The first and fourth games are available on modern consoles, but the second and third are stuck on the PSP (the latter wasn't even translated!) And Valkyria Revolution is..... interesting by Sega standards.
I remember renting a 32X when they came out. The video store near my grandparents house would let you rent consoles for 2 days. My brother rented Tempo to play on it and I chose Knuckles Chaotix. We both enjoyed Tempo a lot more.
Awesome content! And lots of it recently! I’m collecting for the PS3 so i would like to see more forgotten (or other interesting adjectives) games for that console!
Thanks for the amazing video on all the cool Sega games! I knew about both Astal and Napple Tale lol. I am still hoping the Segagaga fan translation happens at some point soon. That's the last one I am seriously looking forward to. Such a quirky Dreamcast game, and I want to experience it. That console is full of unique and weird and fun experiences.
Astal was amazing! No joke, I think about it weekly. Beautiful music, smooth for the time pixel art, and a cool spin on the Adam and Eve myth. That final boss sound effect is drilled into my brain. *YOULEE*
Hey, I love Time Stalkers! I keep expecting it to be one of those games that randomly catches heat and people rediscover. Some of what it got knocked for on release is exactly what would get people interested in it today like the roguelike elements.
Dude Astal is definitely a hidden gem on the SEGA Saturn. The color, the backdrop; you know it kinda reminded me of 1980's and early 1990's cartoons, and heck you could interact with it. Speaking of which that's why I like playing Nintendo and SEGA games. The cartoon IS the game, and you get to be a part of that. Everybody seems to want the "real" looking games nowadays and to be quite honest I personally never really liked those kinds of games. They just don't click with me, and for those who DO like those kinds of games hey there's definitely a market group no doubt. I grew up with cartoony games going all the way back to the late 1980's and early 1990's with Atari and the NES. I didn't get around to SEGA actually until the Dreamcast came out, and no matter what people say about that system I thoroughly enjoyed the living tar out of that sucker. But.... when The Playstation 2 came out I couldn't afford it for quite a few years after it came out. I can remember being in The Army in the barracks 20 something odd years ago and my battle buds and I would get drunk and have competitions with Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. Oh my that was fun, however I will say I was kinda bummed because when I saw Soul Calibur in the arcade the Dreamcast version looked even better, and I used to love the arcade (and I still love the old school games) but it was then I realized that home consoles were going to eliminate the arcades after that. That was when I knew the arcade hay days were pretty much over. I'm 45 years old so I remember when the best graphics and sound for a long time could only be found at the arcades when it came to games. Home ports were fun but the arcade gave you the ultimate experience when I was growing up.
I still look back at the time that I could have bought dororo for 50 bucks and I didnt because I had no idea what it was but then as I look back in time I want to cry to myself
If you're still taking video ideas Austin, I personally would love another "More Obscure/Forgotten SNES Games" type video, specifically because I need someone else to acknowledge the existence of 'Power Piggs of the Dark Age' so I don't convince myself that it was a made up fever dream I concocted as a child! 😂 I swear I never hear anyone talking about it, but I remember renting it from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, and it being a part of my SNES gaming sessions mixed in among 'Stunt Race FX', 'Scooby-Doo Mystery', 'Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose' (which was the only Tiny Toon videogame I played as a child; I didn't even know 'ACME All-Stars' or 'Wacky Sports Challenge' existed, I just played the shit out of 'Buster Busts Loose'), 'Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper', 'Animaniacs' (SNES), 'Dirt Trax FX', 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers', and 'Power Rangers Zeo: Battle Racers' and of course DKC1, DKC2, Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario RPG. Or maybe you could do a "Forgotten Nintendo Games" video, so you can not only cover some of those SNES games but also talk about 'The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy", which is another Nintendo game I remember playing, if not out right owning, which I feel gets forgotten amidst the other Flintstones games that were on the NES and SNES.
As iconic Sega is; I gotta say my pick is Skies of Arcadia. The vibes, music, battle system, the characters….that game is full of charm and I dream of just a remaster…one of my favorite games ever. PSO a very close second though!!!

Sick Day Games.

Will you ever make more videos on the Sword Art Online games?

-god tier music

-flew under the radar when it came out
-insanely expensive on eBay

Damn dood you really blow up after you threw up.

Since Sega is not sitting on their ips as much anymore, here's hoping for a sequel to Rhythm Thief.
That Space Cadet sound effect just awakened a memory of sitting in our dining room on the family computer until what felt like 3a but was probably no later than 10 when I was like 6 or 7. Man that game was awesome.
SO they had the blueprint with Dynamite Cop to make a 3D Street Of Rage 4 and Sega did nothing with it?!?
There is always Fighting Force 🙈

Die Hard Arcade is *always* fondly remembered by Matt Mcmuscles.
Weird coincidence.. I just clicked off his latest upload.

Dude 1 video per week, take a rest dude, hope you and your editor are okay and well rested, the qulity is consistent and the amount of videos is crazy, keep the good work dude!!
Sonic Rush Adventure deserves more flowers.
Die Hard Arcade was my favorite arcade game as a kid. I still replay it from time to time. I can clear the first couple stages on a single credit.
I’m loving the recent uploads man, keep it up Austin
Another great video man these frequent uploads have been really cool you always pick some interesting topics
Bro, you're putting in work with these videos. You better be chilling in-between sets 😂
bout to be LMFAO
Agreed about those Sonic Game Gear games. Only found myself a Game Gear last December, got it with Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos and just last month I picked up Triple Trouble. Chaos and Triple Trouble are my favourite games on the platform par none, and the ones I easily sunk the most hours into. They retain so much from the console entries, while still keeping with the times and being original. Triple Trouble is the better game of the two, Chaos' level design is very.. boring, or empty I suppose, and Fang The Sniper is pretty damn cool in Triple Trouble. I would avoid Sonic 2 though, it's super cheap but also extremely difficult. Like I've never beaten the very first boss of the game, and it isn't difficult in like a Dark Souls way where you build skill to beat the game, no, the first boss battle is complete luck, your on a slope that Sonic continually slides down, at the bottom is an enemy you can't kill, and you have to narrowly avoid bouncing balls (I think that's what they are?) that come at you at random intervals. Oh and did I mention there isn't a single ring in the entire stage, so if you get hit by the ball even once, or the enemy at the bottom, you INSTANTLY DIE. Most people online agree, they haven't got past the first damn boss either. If you want quality Sonic games, stick with Chaos and Triple Trouble.
Virtua Quest has stolen my heart and I hear no one talk about that game anymore.
I want a video on bad RPGs, just so I can hear you talk about Ancient Roman, the best worst PS1 RPG ever
Excluding Persona and Yakuza, my favourite Sega series is Valkyria Chronicles.
While the series was popular when it first released and sold well enough, I feel like it is being slowly forgotten by Sega over time. The first and fourth games are available on modern consoles, but the second and third are stuck on the PSP (the latter wasn't even translated!) And Valkyria Revolution is..... interesting by Sega standards.
Man I love Austin. Caddicarus not uploading, AVGN not new anymore…but sweet Austin doing the videos❤ life is good.
any weird playstation 1/2 games from japan? love the uploads recently!
The Knuckles Chaotix Japanese box art goes insanely hard
The Club was an amazing game and one of the best score attack arcade games of all time. It was ahead of its time. I think players would get it now.
I remember renting a 32X when they came out. The video store near my grandparents house would let you rent consoles for 2 days. My brother rented Tempo to play on it and I chose Knuckles Chaotix. We both enjoyed Tempo a lot more.
We need a Die Hard (Dynamite Deca) collection.
SIGNED
There was the sega ages one for the ps2
I am a Dreamcast fan and have never heard of Napple Tale before. Thank you! I will track down the fan translated version now.
Oh yes, Raid Shadow Legends, my favourite weird sega game
Awesome content! And lots of it recently!
I’m collecting for the PS3 so i would like to see more forgotten (or other interesting adjectives) games for that console!
2 Austin videos in a week? Hell yeah
I can feel Austin's struggle to not mention Zelda in the Crusaders of Centy part
Thanks for the amazing video on all the cool Sega games! I knew about both Astal and Napple Tale lol. I am still hoping the Segagaga fan translation happens at some point soon. That's the last one I am seriously looking forward to. Such a quirky Dreamcast game, and I want to experience it. That console is full of unique and weird and fun experiences.
Astal was amazing! No joke, I think about it weekly. Beautiful music, smooth for the time pixel art, and a cool spin on the Adam and Eve myth. That final boss sound effect is drilled into my brain. *YOULEE*
Dynamite Cop was the peak. of my Dreamcast experience and I still love it lol
The Street Fighter 2 Sega Master System port is such an interesting backport piece of history
You had me at "shoot rockets out of your knees"
Austin is gonna go into hibernation at this rate.
Hey, I love Time Stalkers! I keep expecting it to be one of those games that randomly catches heat and people rediscover.
Some of what it got knocked for on release is exactly what would get people interested in it today like the roguelike elements.
Alisia Dragoon! I loved the aesthetics of that game!
Dang, you must’ve had some of these videos on the backlog if you managed to release them this fast
The rhythm genre is something I'd like to see. Mainly an excuse to hear about Gitaroo Man.
Dude Astal is definitely a hidden gem on the SEGA Saturn. The color, the backdrop; you know it kinda reminded me of 1980's and early 1990's cartoons, and heck you could interact with it. Speaking of which that's why I like playing Nintendo and SEGA games. The cartoon IS the game, and you get to be a part of that. Everybody seems to want the "real" looking games nowadays and to be quite honest I personally never really liked those kinds of games. They just don't click with me, and for those who DO like those kinds of games hey there's definitely a market group no doubt. I grew up with cartoony games going all the way back to the late 1980's and early 1990's with Atari and the NES. I didn't get around to SEGA actually until the Dreamcast came out, and no matter what people say about that system I thoroughly enjoyed the living tar out of that sucker. But.... when The Playstation 2 came out I couldn't afford it for quite a few years after it came out. I can remember being in The Army in the barracks 20 something odd years ago and my battle buds and I would get drunk and have competitions with Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. Oh my that was fun, however I will say I was kinda bummed because when I saw Soul Calibur in the arcade the Dreamcast version looked even better, and I used to love the arcade (and I still love the old school games) but it was then I realized that home consoles were going to eliminate the arcades after that. That was when I knew the arcade hay days were pretty much over. I'm 45 years old so I remember when the best graphics and sound for a long time could only be found at the arcades when it came to games. Home ports were fun but the arcade gave you the ultimate experience when I was growing up.
I still look back at the time that I could have bought dororo for 50 bucks and I didnt because I had no idea what it was but then as I look back in time I want to cry to myself
If you're still taking video ideas Austin, I personally would love another "More Obscure/Forgotten SNES Games" type video, specifically because I need someone else to acknowledge the existence of 'Power Piggs of the Dark Age' so I don't convince myself that it was a made up fever dream I concocted as a child! 😂 I swear I never hear anyone talking about it, but I remember renting it from Blockbuster or Hollywood Video, and it being a part of my SNES gaming sessions mixed in among 'Stunt Race FX', 'Scooby-Doo Mystery', 'Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose' (which was the only Tiny Toon videogame I played as a child; I didn't even know 'ACME All-Stars' or 'Wacky Sports Challenge' existed, I just played the shit out of 'Buster Busts Loose'), 'Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper', 'Animaniacs' (SNES), 'Dirt Trax FX', 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers', and 'Power Rangers Zeo: Battle Racers' and of course DKC1, DKC2, Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario RPG.
Or maybe you could do a "Forgotten Nintendo Games" video, so you can not only cover some of those SNES games but also talk about 'The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy", which is another Nintendo game I remember playing, if not out right owning, which I feel gets forgotten amidst the other Flintstones games that were on the NES and SNES.
My man is WORKING dude what the hell
Great video as always!
dynamite cop absolutely RULES, but it's so so so short...
As iconic Sega is; I gotta say my pick is Skies of Arcadia. The vibes, music, battle system, the characters….that game is full of charm and I dream of just a remaster…one of my favorite games ever.
PSO a very close second though!!!
Clockwork Knight not only beat Toy Story, but also had a Keyblade long before Kingdom Hearts
More and more videos? Heck yeah. Greatly appreciate it. It’s Christmas early!
Just pumping out the vids. Keep them coming. I can't get enough.
Ethan Suplee in that old Game Gear commercial. Classic.
