  • A new month, a new year, a new....box design?!?
    That's right, Video Games Monthly is back in 2024 and fully embracing the 'New Year, New You' mantra - and that drip is looking N I C E on their new box design! Floyd's never looked better - and my NES, Genesis, and SNES collections haven't looked better, either!
    Some absolute quality was sent my way this month. Thank you to Joe and the entire #VGM team for their continued incredible service!

    On the way back from our cruise now so I can find out how my first box of the new year lines up. Great box and love the updates to their box and cards. I need to finally pickup a Retron 5 this year to play these older classics. Almost wish they sold them as well to save me from my procrastination lol. You nailed it, these games contain our memories inside along with the chips and screws for most of us. Some of them still hold that fun value 35 years later. Happy New Year!

    Jay, I love the second camera and you got some absolute bangers in this box no matter what anyone else would say. If you're happy with the picks, that's what counts. VGM treating you amazing in 2024. I think it'll be a theme.

    For me the SNES version of Aladdin is the best. This is due to one feature, the sound. I just can't get behind the sound chip in the Genesis when it's playing songs I know from the real world.
    Love the two cameras in this video!

      Nothing wrong with that in the slightest! I always hope that it's implied when I say something as an absolute - but that's 100% only my opinion and only valid for _me._ I would hope that me saying something would never take away someone else's love of a game just because I have a difference of opinion on it. Thank you so much for watching!

    Great video, Jay! I actually beat Aladdin for the first time on the PS4 version that came out. If not the for the rewind feature, that never would’ve happened. Even with it, I found it SOOOO frustrating, haha! In general, though, I’m *dreadful* at games, so I’m sure it was a “me” problem. Anyway, awesome video. Love the two-camera setup. Opens up a lot of possibilities, I’m sure.

      @EdsHead 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@SquarePegs It wasn't bad but I'm glad to hear you are looking to improve. I liked it but I would maybe try elevating the second camera a bit. Also, maybe reducing the angle it is away from you? Like, bring it in closer to your main camera like you are talking to 2 people in front of you rather than one in front and one on the side (if that makes sense?). I don't do video anymore ( I used to some for work) so what do I know. This is nitpicky but I really want to help you if I can at all as I enjoy the content.

    • @SquarePegs
      @SquarePegs  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was 100% a test bed run for this video to see if I even liked having the second perspective (I do!), to see if other people like having the second perspective (they do!), and to see if the cell phone I was using for it would be sufficiently usable (it REALLY isn't!). ;)
      It'll probably be the camera I use for the time being until I can afford a better one, but the angles and positioning are all in flux. I'll definitely try it a bit more to camera right and see if that works out - I liked having it to the side, but it was wildly unnatural to turn my entire body. Plus - not using my lav mic and it sounded like butt when I would. Your idea solves both issues I had in the immediacy. :)
      And, truly, I appreciate the feedback. I'm an amateur who just happened to get lucky to have the audience I do, and I can only hope to improve via feedback. I appreciate you, Kyle! :)

    Fun vid, Jay.
    Warlock was a theater release starring the late Julian Sands & Richard E. Grant. There were two major theater releases. The first film (1989) was decent and the second was… so so. It descended into “straight to vhs” obscurity afterward. Unfortunately, the game was loosely tethered to the movies.
    I will have to get that NES Dodgeball game since you recommended it so highly. 😀

    I remember playing Dodgeball but I don't remember where I got it from. For sports games, for some reason I really enjoyed Super Spike V Ball. It was way more fun once I figured out how to do the super spike and super block.
    I was never able to figure out how to play Solstice. I think I rented it as a kid.
