@@agoodboy1404 Oh it was indeed. It was a simpler time in the early 2000's when a line like that was not seen for the super obvious double entendre it clearly is.
my god somebody else knows about that very nice game. honestly they really should have had Contra in the title, i didnt know it was one until i played it. good thing i had an interest in it on a whim.
I'm pretty sure that came out after 4 and pretty much was the last good Contra game. (Except for maybe rebirth on the Wii but as with all the rebirth titles they're stuck on Wii forever unless Konami actually tries.)
I played Shadow of Destiny and I'm sure I speak for everyone else who has when I say that I greatly appreciated the choice of game footage when talking about "oh snap" moments. That twist had to be my favourite part of the whole game.
My God that Sega pico shout out warmed my heart. I still have mine with my huge collection of two games, including tails music maker and the busy world of Richard scary. Bless you Austin for the memories
And here I thought I was the only one who remembered Castlevania: Judgement, it's worse then I remember but I still somehow had fun with it back in the day. Also loving that sweet Makoto shirt!
Haven't thought about Shadow of Destiny in a long time. When I was 18, I picked it up from the discount bin from a Big Lots for $3 along with Darwinia. I don't remember too much other then I loved the hell out of it and got all the ending because I HAD to see them. Yeah, the VO is not great but the story. Also, I had no idea Time Hollow was it's spiritual successor but that makes sense. I also love Time Hollow.
Frogger: The Great Quest, Spyro: enter the dragonfly and Treasure Planet were the games that I got with my PS2 as a 5 year old in 2002. *As you can guess, I played the shit outta Treasure Planet*
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu oh lmao. My dad got me ratchet and clank and Jak and Daxter pretty quick. I actually never got sly cooper until I bought the collection myself on PS3. There were a ton of amazing games on PS2. My first batch of games were just duds lmao
@@4nimeJax Well that's good. Yeah I owned plenty of the good ones but I ended up getting my hands on more than a few horrible ones. You had to trust friends and or whatever the internet was at the time to help avoid the shovelware.
No Monster Maulers / Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn ? That game is so forgotten that even Konami never mentioned it in list of created games even in the early 2000's
Funny story about Castlevania Judgement. After listening to Quarter Guy and GreenScorpion talk about it. I got curious and got the game for 3.99. I played it for a day or two, even got a friend over to play after convincing him via gunpoint. Technically, yeah it’s a mess. But you can’t deny that this game gets some points for allowing us to do some of our Castlevania dream matches. Simon vs Trevor, Cornell vs Alucard, etc.
@EAT THIS YOU GRAVY SUCKING DOG um what about Team Silent or Igarashi. Just because of recent-ish event have happened does not mean it entirely unfounded to not like them for different reasons other than they must like kojima. Packinico machines of you favorite games.
You should look into Boktai. I know it's not that obscure, having most of its games released in the West, but the most I hear it being referred to as "that game where you need sunlight" or "that game that linked up to Megaman Battle Network."
Exactly how I feel. The game looks rough and the PS2 PAL version was the usual no-effort crap, but it is a really clever time-travel tale that deserves to be remade for modern audiences.
Yeeees! I remember when I bought it, back then I actually visited physical game stores for all my games. I just thought the cover toghether with the Shadow of Memories title looked so intriguing that I had to get it, and am I happy about that. Friggin loved the game. A HD remake with voice actors that maybe could be somewhat more into it at times would be great, haha. Though I think its funny how corky they sound.
Just bought that Shadow of Destiny game, was the last copy I could find here in a Dutch store lol. Maybe this will become a cult classic and be higly sought after once this video has been out for a while haha
While I was playing murdered: soul suspect, I couldn't help but think of this obscure game I watched my brother play with a similar concept but couldn't remember anything about it but little flashes of what it looked like... It was Shadow of memories! Thank you so much :D
I played a little bit of it as a kid and never noticed any of the uhhhhh, yeah. I feel a little dirty, I was tricked into a game about helping a fucking incel frog nut in a girl
Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra (both for the PS2) are pretty forgotten as well, but unlike the PS1 Contras, they are awesome. Konami actually proved Contra 3D could be good with Neo Contra, but by that point nobody seemed to care about the franchise anymore. Other forgotten Konami titles that are actually good are Crisis Force (probably the best Nes shmup), Vandal Hearts, Kensei: The Sacred Fist, Getsu Fuuma Den and Soul of the Samurai
Shadow of Destiny really was an odd experience. Not the best, but an interesting concept nonetheless. I ended up picking it up on a random whim one day, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for covering it!
World Record holder for Castlevania: Judgement here, and I can confirm everything that has been said about it in this video. Also the music is killer, so I guess I put up with it.
Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive etc. are 3D fighting games, Castlevania Judgement and Power Stone are Arena Fighting games, common mix up though, no biggie
Shadow of Destiny is pretty great, but I do recommend you play the PSP version if you can. For whatever reason the voice acting in the PSP version is better than the PS2 version.
And it is easier to play today, a PSP or modded Vita is way easier to play to. Finding the PS2 copy and console is not hard per se, but the odd resolution (240p) might not work in some televisions if you are using component cables. My TV supports many resolutions, but if I play 240p over conponent it doesnt work and it is very annoying to replace for the shitty RCA cables just to play one game.
@@lordeilluminati I actually for a while didn't know there was a PS2 version since I started playing as the PSP one. I got kinda disappointed that the PS2's VA wasn't as great. It controls very well modded to a vita or if you use a PS2 controller and play it on PC. Shame that where I am from the PSP was never popular enough for that game to come over.
It's by no means the worst thing Konami is doing with their IPs, but that Shadow of Destiny game sounds awesome and absolutely would benefit from a remake. There are never enough time travel mystery games.
I just want to point out the Castlevania Judgement doesn't get enough credit in my opinion. Sure it's a bit of a broken mess but I find the art style really endearing and it was a genuine attempt at doing a 3D brawler via power Stone. This was a passion project by Koji igarashi after getting pressure to do a Wii exclusive Castlevania game. It's actually pretty Dynamic how each character interact with each other based on where they fit in the lore and I really dug the art style by the same dude who did Death Note. People complain that the Art Direction and thought it was weird but I thought it was a cool and interesting take on it as opposed to doing the classic Ayami designs. Also fun fact you can link judgment in the Wii to your Castlevania order of Ecclesia in your DS buy a Nintendo connection and it unlocks Shanoa as a playable character as well as unlocking rare items in order of Ecclesia. The combat just feel a bit broken sometimes but conceptually I think it was really cool and if it ever got it's equal which I know it never will it could have had a lot of potential.
Easily one of my favourite channels of all time. Every time you upload something my heart jumps. Nothing makes me forget about all the anxiety and depression better than Austin bitching about anime games.
Legacy of War? The Contra Adventure for PS1 is even more obscure imo, although I played it a hell of a lot back in the day. Can't wait for your coverage of it
Just watched a 3 minute video segment about the weird 3D-platformer Frogger game I played when I was 10 and I'm still not 100% sure it really existed and wasn't just a fever dream.
As a kid I played this animaniacs game on the Sega Genesis made by Konami the thing that I remember most is the Dracula fight that he uses Castlevania Dracula fireball tactics
I like Castlevania Judgment's character designs. They're chalk full of style and are memorable. I show you a picture of its roster and you know what game it's from.
Yep. Never understood Simon's design from super Castlevania 4 was so popular : i mean, outside of the game's cult status, it's just a generic as hell muscular guy.
Shadow of Memory remembers me of a board game called Tragedy Looper. In that game one player is the mastermind behind a... well... tragedy and the other players are time travelers who tries to stop the tragedy. Fun part about the game is that the time travelers only knows that a tragedy will occur, but doesn't know who commit the tragedy, nor the tragedy per se, so they need to lose a few "loops" to get this details and fight the tradegy in the last loops to win. So... yeah... try to play the game D:
I remember playing Shadows of destiny years ago and never beat it. so i read the wiki and story wasn't that bad along with the multiple endings...one of the endings had me like oof
I know it’s well-known now, but “Radiant Historia” has a similar type of time-travel mechanic and multiple timelines and changing the past to affect the future as “Shadows of Destiny”. I hadn’t even heard of “Shadows of Destiny” before this video but now I really want to play through it! (I’m just hoping it’s not obscenely expensive like some PS2 games, such as “Rule of Rose”!)
I remember playing Shadow of Destiny when I was younger, though I forgot what it was called or that it was a Konami game. My favorite Konami game though, HAS to be Azure Dreams. I mean, it is a dungeon-crawling, monster catching, roguelike with dating sim stuff. It is everything people love about the Persona series long before the Persona series was doing that stuff (at least, in that way). Truly ahead of its time, a modern Azure Dreams would kick some serious ass.
I was on the test team for Tornado Outbreak. The game was originally called Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals, but retailers such as Wal-Mart pressured the devs into changing the name, for the worse in my opinion. The team was an offshoot from Sucker Punch, as you can see that the art style is notably similar to Sly Cooper. Konami happened to be the publisher that decided to take the game to market. They were not involved with the creation of the game.
What are other Konami games I forgot about cause I know you're gonna write em down so do it here.
The Suikoden Tactics game for the DS. Heard it's actually really good,
Boktai, the only reason i wait for sunny day
Bucky O'hare
Monsters in my pocket
Kensei sacred fist. Their weird as crap attempt at a Tekken style fighting game.
Every Bemani rhythm game.

Oh it was indeed.
It was a simpler time in the early 2000's when a line like that was not seen for the super obvious double entendre it clearly is.
"Whatever they did with Carmilla"
You mean besides convince 19 year old me to pick up the game when it first came out?
Eric did that for me😍
Carmilla was literally naked on a skull so the redesign is actually great at making her a femme fatale
I also like Grant's and Cornell's
"A woman? Wouldn't know anything about that."
You cut me deep, game...
When I was in high school I asked my parents for FFX for Christmas, they got me Frogger: The Great Adventure instead.
Feelsrealbad
F
I would kill them. lol
Hey, the game title begins with an "F"... It's close enough, right?😂
This used to happen to me all the time, I never got what I asked for
To be fair, Contra had a game last gen, it just didn't have "Contra" in name: "Hard Corps: Uprising"
wasn't that game made by ark systems? what a missed opportunity for them, judgement could've used their charm.
@@MarxasThomas
Indeed
my god somebody else knows about that very nice game. honestly they really should have had Contra in the title, i didnt know it was one until i played it. good thing i had an interest in it on a whim.
I'm pretty sure that came out after 4 and pretty much was the last good Contra game.
(Except for maybe rebirth on the Wii but as with all the rebirth titles they're stuck on Wii forever unless Konami actually tries.)
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu It came out on the xbox 360 Marketplace.
I played Shadow of Destiny and I'm sure I speak for everyone else who has when I say that I greatly appreciated the choice of game footage when talking about "oh snap" moments. That twist had to be my favourite part of the whole game.
Omg, I wasn't expecting to see Shadows of Destiny! I haven't played that game since my 1st year of high school!
Ya i enjoyed it and was happy getting all the ending.
Say whatever you want about Castlevania Judgment, but the metal arrangements they did of those classic themes are amazing.
They are the best. The game is nice
'I wish i may, i wish i must, find a princess before i bust" XD
They used to make video games, now they just make pachinko for Japanese casinos.

HAHAHAHAHAHA FROGGER THE GREAT QUEST!! I used to LO V E this game as a kid glad it made it's way into this video lolol
I still have it for my laptop! Beat it 3 times!

Time Hollow is sweet. I really wish that game had gotten more attention. A Switch port would be cool, but it won't happen with Konami the way it is.
Contra was a great series, hearing about it and seeing gameplay of it is nostalgic

I was literally just thinking about this Frogger game yesterday! God I want to play it again.
Oh wow. Shadow of destiny was one of my favorite games as a teen. I spent hours figuring out everything. Thanks for covering it.
I’d likely never would have heard of Shadow of Destiny/Memories if it wasn’t for that one SGB playthrough that game was so unintentionally hilarious.

Shadow of Destiny got a redub for its PSP rerelease that seemingly no human being played, Eike is voiced by Yuri Lowenthall there if memory serves.
What did the Japanese man say about his friend's automobile when its battery died?

Loving all the music from Lunar SSS lately Austin, something you dont hear many talk about even though it's the best kind of cheese.
The voice acting may be bad in Shadow of Destiny, but at least the dog got a fair shake. It's probably the best actor of the bunch.
Shadow of Memories is AMAZING.
SHADOWS OF DESTINY!
Dude, that game was great. It was this hidden gem I just happen to download playing on a PSP and it was so good.
I ALWAYS saw Gba Frogger on the shelfs of game stores back in the day
"especially when you get massive" Cap'n, that's a OwO for me.
Right off the bat... The starting music hit me right in the feels.
