I'd like to suggest to number them like episodes to make it easier to know the oldest from the newest. I've been watching every single one released so far and I love it!
Unfortunately, market research has shown that numbered videos actually drive more people away than they keep. The Completionist stopped numbering his stuff a few years ago because he found that a lot of people were intimidated by long-running shows. They'd basically go "I am NOT watching the first 122 episodes to get context for tihs one" as if these review shows had storylines or something.
@2:51 A slight correction: after Dragon Quest 4 the west wouldn't get a new Dragon Quest game until Jan 2000 "Dragon Quest Monsters". DQ7 came to the west in Oct 2001. Was getting the Dragon Warriors game in the early 90s and then nothing for so long but when I saw Dragon Warrior Monsters in 2000 I right away got it and loved it.
Loved Dragon Quest Monsters!! I played the hell outta that on the GameBoy Color. I remember it standing out in my carrying case because it had a black cartridge, rather than grey.
Dragon Quest 4 is actually my favorite in the series. It's the first one where they give all party members some character. The music is phenomenal and the AI isn't all that bad as long as you switch to the correct tactics.
The Felix The Cat NES game was fun to play althought it was short and easy. Felix The Cat was eventually brought by Dreamworks and now exists as ... A clothing brand.
Regarding when other Dragon Warrior games were released (2:55 in the video), three Dragon Warrior games were released on Game Boy Color (Dragon Warrior Monsters, and ports of Dragon Warrior I & II and Dragon Warrior III) before Dragon Warrior VII was released.
Oh sorry for forgetting this in my first post but yes you should play Dragon Quest IV, Dragon Quest III as well because they are my favorites in the series and I've played every mainline title other the X plus many of the spinoffs.
I remember Felix the cat. My late grandmother (my dad’s mom) had a Felix the cat clock. I remember seeing when I visited her old house once when I was little. I remember the cartoons too, I watched some of the old ones on VHS. I vaguely remember the 95 series though. I’m a millennial who’s boomer folks introduced and exposed her to things from their generation and what it was like.
I know I'm responding to this way later but I've gotta recommend playing a stream of Dragon Warrior 4, I loved that game as a kid. I really adored the story. I wont spoil it but it has a real many stories coming together thing going on. And the moment when they finally converge just gave my little kid heart a swell of 'oh, oh its happening' lol.
The dragon quest thing is a myth, apparently. Or, rather, a story that took on a life of its own. In reality, there were some kids who skipped school to play a previous Dragon Quest, and so the Knicks started releasing the game on days when there was not school. they never actually canceled school because of Dragon Quest. At least, that was the state of the information last I heard it.
4:20 That Twisted Tales Felix show that lasted 2 seasons is ironically the best thing that ever made with that character, way way better than that puny nes game
I took a moment out of the Felix review to go find and watch one of the earlier ones, Feline Follies. The ending of that cartoon... well, let's say that Jared saying we were moving away from a kid-friendly platformer is some of the best irony I've had this week. Enjoy that pre-Hays code goodness, everybody! Thanks for the show, guys. It's always good.
I love the Felix the cat game, I played both the Nes and Gameboy versions a whole lot. Unfortunately it doesn't have a harder mode so once you beat it a few times that's it.
Since you love Final Fantasy so much, you should play Dragon Quest III, actually! Dragon Quest III, VI, VII, and IX all have job systems (called vocations in the new localization). I personally recommend either the GBC or Switch versions of Dragon Quest III. The Switch one will be easiest to play since it’s readily available. That said, it’s getting an HD2D remake eventually. As for Dragon Quest IV, I played the NES original and loved it so I recommend it. That said, your characters are preset so there isn’t much customization available. Dragon Quest V is very emotional for a lot of players and I played the Super Famicom original as well. It’s a beautiful game but it can be very difficult at certain points. Also, don’t sleep on Dragon Quest II. The Switch one is perhaps the best version to play now but the GBC is just fine too. I’d stay away from the NES one (although I still have to actually try it to verify the claims on how frustrating that version is). DQ2 has some wonderfully whimsical music. The reason I recommend the Switch one is becomes it is the only version that provides modern Zoom (fast travel); previous versions had you having to actually travel back and forth places. That said, there are teleporters that helped you reach places quicker… but without your boat 🙃
Oh no. These older ones should have the dates in it or at least in the top of the description. Obviously it took me less than a second to realize I had seen this, but I *was* curious about the date. Luckily I have seen other suggestions in the comments here, but yeah. This won’t be an issue soon anyway. But dates in tits or descripts might be cool
Gen X had a vintage revival for 30s cartoons - Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, Old Disney, etc. They all had a comeback because they attained a vintage cool with that generation. Grape Ape was too modern for it.
Dragon Warrior actually completely ruined JRPGs for me at a young age. I was familiar with Zelda, and this looked similar, but the battles were random and menu based, which wasn't as fun as the more action-oriented Zelda. Also if I wandered too far without leveling up first, a concept foreign to me, I would just get obliterated by a higher level enemy. It was frustrating and I actually didn't care for JRPGs after that until several years after high school when a friend made me try Final Fantasy XII. It was magnificent, and opened my eyes to how fun JRPGs could be. I went back and saw the back catalog of JRPGs I had missed out of stubborn ignorance though the 90s with brand new eyes. It's one of my most favorite genres now.
I was born during this (Oct 8, 92), and I gotta say, my birth week... was kind of weak. That Felix The Cat game looks interesting though. Might seek that one out.
Dragon Quest was a tabletop RPG in the States in 1980, so they couldn't reuse it and had to rename it to Dragon Warrior, which IMHO is so much better and less kindergarten-sounding. Maybe if they make an action-RPG spin-off for adults and called _it_ "Dragon Warrior", maybe that'd be good.
I had and played all these dragon warrior games as a teenager, DW 3 was definitely the best right when you thought you beat the final boss... BOOM whole nother world. But i liked them all
With Dylan having to do all these rapid-fire reviews of so many sports games, by the end of this series he could present a rundown of every sports game ever made, and give his thoughts on how they're all exactly the same.
Dragon warrior> Dragon quest. Even if I think Dragon quest 8 may be the best of the series. The games felt darker and less cutesy. FF4,FF6, FF7(og and remake) are all above my fav DQ games but all DQ games are very good to top 10 favorite rpgs outside of the 1st 2.
im always calling it dragon warrior i dont care what people think. -edit bruh my friend had death duel on genesis when we ere kids. the cartridge existed. i saw it.

Or put all the dates in the titles themselves
Gets less views that way

Loved it! My friend had the NES version but the DS remake fixed the AI problems and made it much better. It's actually my favorite of the series too.
Felix the cat was the first game i finished. It was 11pm on Christmas and after 3 hours i finally finished it. It was great
Fun to rewatch these again!

I must rewatch all the videos to make sure you get all the money

I love that Akira Toriyama did all the art for it. the Dragon ball creator.

Ahh Super Batter Up. One of two sports games dad bought right after I bought my SNES with the other being Madden 93.

Felix the cat also was on the cover of an issue of Game Informer.
Yes play dragon quest 4...it was one of my favorite Gameboy color games
Dragon warrior / dragon quest is my favorite.
Awesome. Yes play DQ4, 5 and 6 !
Gonna rewatch the backlog~
Love love love this channel!!!!! ❤
I remember reading that Felix NP back in the day over and over again. Never played the game though.
4:20 That Twisted Tales Felix show that lasted 2 seasons is ironically the best thing that ever made with that character, way way better than that puny nes game
Dylan: "I don't like sports games."
Also Dylan: reviews every sports game ever released
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.
I have Dragon Quest 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on my Android, the 3DS Dragon Quest 7 and 8, and Dragon Quest 9 for the DS and Dragon Quest 11 on the Switch.
This is the first time I have seen death duel mentioned in any media format I owned this game as a 90s kid. I played the crap out it!
I took a moment out of the Felix review to go find and watch one of the earlier ones, Feline Follies. The ending of that cartoon... well, let's say that Jared saying we were moving away from a kid-friendly platformer is some of the best irony I've had this week.

The background music is outstanding… pls post a link to that

Nice job Editor Dylan. 🏈 ⚾ 🏒 🎾
I remember Felix the Cat, And DQ was never a series i got in to. :D
It would be nice to have the date on the tittle, so just we know right out the bat wich week in the 90s
Oh no. These older ones should have the dates in it or at least in the top of the description. Obviously it took me less than a second to realize I had seen this, but I *was* curious about the date. Luckily I have seen other suggestions in the comments here, but yeah. This won’t be an issue soon anyway. But dates in tits or descripts might be cool
I was here!
I still say Dragon Warrior.
Edit: YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED DRAGON WARRIOR 3?
Was very confused since this came up as "new" on the new channel... episode numbers or release dates in the title would be very welcome.
Epic
Damn, imagine schools and work all shutting down for a day because the hottest game just hit shelves.
I wonder what motivated them to try to resurrect Felix over characters like Bosco, Grape Ape, or Hector Heathcote.
Gen X had a vintage revival for 30s cartoons - Betty Boop, Felix the Cat, Old Disney, etc. They all had a comeback because they attained a vintage cool with that generation. Grape Ape was too modern for it.
@@medes5597 Yep. For Grape Ape, you had to wait until the 2010s for DC to do Hanna-Barbera crossovers.
I hear Dragon Flu could be on a come back

Dragon Quest IV's AI party control can be disabled via a Game Genie code, which I consider to not be cheating in any way.
My ex girfriend from many many years ago got into Dragon Quest 9 on the DS and with it's online features, I uhh, I feel like I missed

PLAY DRAGON QUEST 3
I keep getting confused by these "new" uploads lol
im always calling it dragon warrior i dont care what people think.
-edit
bruh my friend had death duel on genesis when we ere kids. the cartridge existed. i saw it.
I never really tried Dragon Quest, I was too focused on Final Fantasy.
Hope you gave it a shot afterwards. Otherwise you're missing out.
Why is this a separate channel? I love the show and look up to seeing it every Friday!
Algorithm?
A dedicated channel for this show.
Dragon warrior is a better name than Dragon Quest
Death duel looks so cool, it’s a shame that it plays like shite
Comment
Dragon Warrior IV is the worst one
