I like listening to this channel because it's generally upbeat and pleasant. So many game review videos now are very complainy. It's a refreshing change. Brings back the joy in video games.
You sum it up perfectly!
chameleonquest well said
totally agree, complaining is a recreational activity for a lot of gamers online.
that's the charm of the metal jesus, he loves a lot of games, the game has to be absolute garbage to hear him say it's bad.
Well said dude
The fuck? Geist seems like an incredibly creative and original shooter.
Guess that's why it failed.
He called it the "thinking man's shooter" but the problem is that 1)No one over the age of 12 originally got the gamecube and 2)People who play shooters don't think very much. Most people probably thought it was too hard or to slow.
theacp127
It's a shame isn't it!
theacp127 I had the gamecube since I was 5.
+Archon Southpaw it's basically mindjack but on the gamecube

So happy you mentioned Baten Kaitos, Geist, and Skies of Arcadia. ^^ Love those games. Baten Kaitos is my favorite JRPG of all time.
And to think, the same company is also making Project X for the Wii U.
I prefer Baten Kaitos Origins over Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.
I love both equally. It's really hard for me to pick one over the other lol they're such great games. And YES I can't wait for X. One of the biggest reasons I've bought a Wii U xD
I came into these videos half expecting the BK series to go unmentioned. It's easily one of my favorite RPG series of all time, let alone best on the Gamecube. I'm glad it was the first to pop up on these videos.
I'm still clinging onto hope for a possible BK3 if it ever comes out lol. I think it would look amazing in HD on the Wii U
Same here. I remember seeing a screenshot of what looked like Diadem on a developer's computer and it sparked a rumor that they were working on the third game. Could have been a hoax but even if it wasn't I doubt anything came of it. I remain hopeful.
The Slayer shirt was released to commemorate the date of June 6, 2006, or International Day of Slayer. The official shirt was limited to 666 copies, and I happened to snag one. ROCK! \m/
Congrats on the limited drip
I absolutely love Rogue Leader. Rebel Strike was okay, but the fact that it had all of Rogue Leader available for co-op made it worthwhile in my opinion. It's sad that both Lucasarts AND Factor 5 are gone now, so we'll probably never get another Rogue Squadron game of this caliber.
Baten Kaitos and Killer7 are both absolute must have titles for the cube. I put countless hours in these two masterpieces.
I picked up brand new Baten Kaitos up for 5€ at a local electronics store back in the day. Propably did not sell at all so they put it in one of those cheap game&dvds bowls.
Imo Killer7 is much better. BK is a good rpg but the pacing story and combat are just ok. K7 is amazing.
used to call it baiten cardos in college. i never like a card battle system over a traditional turn based RPG
I dig your videos, dude. I like the lack of immature yelling, the positivity, and the little blurbs for each game. It's not overbearing, and it's enjoyable to hear what you have to say.
I love these hidden gems videos as they usually lead me down the path to some new acquisitions. Keep rocking, MetalJesusRocks! You are a throwback to when gaming was so much simpler. Back when it was all about playing games and having fun instead of worrying about online, DLC, DRM, processing power and what number was at the end of your console's name. These videos make me miss what we all had even ten years ago.
I just picked up a Gamecube recently but I didn't appreciate how much some of the more well thought of games go for. Twilight Princess is £50-60 and Ikaruga is on ebay for around £35 BIN. Thanks for sharing the video, at least there's some less well know games here to hunt for.
Geist is an amazing game. One of the first games I played on GC and definitely a favorite!
Hemlock Fury i thought the main character was a soldier. Or was he a scientist?
@@TheVamxie I think he's a scientist.
The Geist mechanic is a lot like beyond two souls
Capcom Vs SNK 2 is one of the best fighting games looks good and the soundtrack was amazing.
Geist was a complete gem for sure I loved that game as a kid
I always find myself watching these older videos, and re-watching them because they're so good!And great shirt, SLAYER!
The Hoth level in Star Wars Rouge Leader is quite possibly the most beautiful level ever created on any game on any console. Fact.
So many great MJR videos! Love going through and finding these videos!
I'm so glad you mentioned Baten Kaitos! BK 1, 2, and Twilight Princess are probably my favorites. And I have almost every Gamecube game
So cool that you mention the GameBoy Player. I, too, had that thing and loved it. Played the hell out of it, since I don't like the small screens on the portable. Thought it was great. Everything should be transferable to a big screen if desired.
+MetalJesusRocks, these lists of Wii and GC gems are great! As i don't think you mentioned it yet, i'd like to add (if you could call it hidden?) Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I've been playing that multiplayer with a friend, two GBASPs and two link cables, and it's been fantastic! Really beautiful graphics, music and characterisation. The gameplay is fun and surprisingly deep, especially for multiplayer, as you have to be quick to heal and resurrect your partner, but also monitor where this vessel of myrrh is so that the evil miasma doesn't harm you.
Metal Jesus genuinely loves games so listening to him is like experienceimg the games as if they just came out because of the exitement he brings to describing them
Slayer T-Shirt I love you man
The Battle of Endor level is one of my favorites levels of all time, in a game. Great video MJ.
only two gamecube games i couldn't pass the first stage, this ikaruga and f-zero GX. Im getting old man. baten kaitos, killer 7, metroid prime, rogue squadron, are top games on gamecube, worth to buy and play.
Excellent list! Very glad I found your channel, I was starting to get bored of all the other gamer channels, but yours feels fresh. I have both MGS and MGS:TTS, I do like the updated controls, but what kills me about Twin Snakes is the change in music and other small nuances that kept it from being a classic to me.
Skies of Arcadia on NGC is not a remake, it's simply a port with some additional content. The graphics are exactly the same as the DC version.
Came here to say this. If I'm not mistaken that 'additional content' was on Dreamcast as DLC, if I recall. Also, the DC had superior audio.
On December 26, 2002, an enhanced port, Skies of Arcadia Legends was released in Japan for the GameCube. It was subsequently released in North America on January 27, 2003, and in Europe on May 23, 2003. Legends features slightly enhanced graphics, shorter loading times and some additional content. The game also includes the Dreamcast's downloadable add-ons, and some new scenes, some of which tell stories of events that happened prior to the game.
Wrong. They did upgrade the graphics a little bit. So it's not just a straight port if they updated the graphics a little bit. DC version has better audio because they down-graded the music so it could fit on one disc for the gamecube. A port is pretty much what FFVII is gonna be on the PS4.
Fair enough, but the graphic enhancement is barely noticeable. if you compare two in-game images they are basically looking the same. Even if it's not a perfect port stricto sensu, my point was mainly that it is not a remake. A slightly enhanced port, as is said in that wiki bit you pasted there, is still, by definition, a port.
NVM, just read it. Hum. I wonder what the new scenes are.
There's a bit more about Vyse's backstory in Legends as being one of them.
One thing that I actually really dug about my wii, back when I had one, was playing Game Cube games such as eternal darkness, Killer 7 and Rogue Squadron 2. I really do miss that thing sometimes. I should get another one for my 4yo son to play one of these days while they are now really cheap.
Yes! Capcom vs SNK EO is so good, and you're the first person I've ever seen or heard mention it. Rogue Squadron 2 is also my favorite Star Wars game. It puts you in the best parts of the original trilogy. I know others do to, but this one did it best for me. Plus you unlock the Star Wars arcade game!
As a avid Gamecube man myself (it was my system growing up) can i please say that i think Mario Superstar Baseball is a gem, it's quite rare here in the UK but i love it, also Wario world and finally Soul Calibur 2, though not hidden in any way, it had Link from LOZ which makes it the best by default :) love your channel, Gamer Eats is awesome and inspired my dinner a few nights ago
Where is Baten Kaitos: Origins? That game had everything better than the original, from the characters, gameplay, voice acting and overall story.
It also has one of the greatest villains in fictional history, Wiseman. Holy fuck, what a character, and he is the entire reason for everything. I love everything about it and is superior because the origins of it all is amazing.
There is heaps of character development is well done, even Sagi (who started off cliche) grew into a very deep character (which is unique in anything Japanese).
Also, the symbolism between technology, self-identification and traditions. It leaves it all in all a grey area, that it leaves it open to what is the best route. No matter how great something is, when it's in the wrong hands, it will be nothing short of abused and wronged.
I think the music and gameplay are a little debatable. I personally loved the music in the first one far more with all the amazing boss themes. The second wasn't anything to scoff at of course and I consider this series Motoi Sakuraba's best work by far regardless but I felt the first game managed it's music better. Both gameplay systems work very well and while I do agree that Origins was a little more polished it also changed enough that one could still prefer the combo system of the first one. Plus, dat plot twist. (no spoilers from me!)
As a huge Baten Kaitos fan I heavily disagree, even though Origins was a master piece the characters were empty and bland, the single deck skip card battle system was a joke making the game easy as hell and there wasn't enough focus on close to any secondary characters besides Sagi and even then. Sure it had the awesome plot twist and messed with morality on the highest level but it did not top the original game in any way. Origins had its moments at best.
It was consistent and well written, as well as well acted. The characters actually develop really well, from young and cliche, to relatable and with depth. You see the amazing story behind Malpercio, you know that it was amazing. Wiseman is a very underrated villain, as he isn't even shown. That it was a war, and not just an entity that created such a being. Sir, I have yet to see you finish the game, as it has a great alternative ending if you finish with a great score. You can't tell me BKEWTLO had that, it only brought in characters to put them in your party. They only get enjoyment if you played Origins first, as they are just strangers. In origins, you get to understand who they are and what took them into such a future. We get to see three characters develop really well, they mature and they grow. Sagi no longer sees the world as black and white, and understands the greay. You know Guillo and why it did in the ends, and Milliard who she is and what she's been through. It's a well written series that gives BKEWALO more depth of it's world, it doesn't need filler to make a world interesting. I'm sorry, but I doubt you played the game well or understood the story for it. The Dark Brethren are an ancient entity, older than the world itself, which explains the entire conflict so well. Bein did an amazing job in acting, how could you ignore that? You're giving it too little credit.
So just because my opinion is different than yours it means I didn't 'understand' the story, Get off your high horse please. I don't ignore any of it but I can give you the same length f*cking essay on the first game's story and characters. PLUS the second game looses ALL of its impact if you never played the first one.
ripley4O77 I'm not saying that it's better, I'm saying you're giving it too little credit. In the end it's up to the person, it's all opinion and that's what I'm saying.
None of the games in this video even made it into the Top 100 Best Selling Gamecube list... so while you may have heard of them, very few people bought them and as time goes on... fewer and fewer people know about them. You probably had a Gamecube when it was new.
I was definitely glad to see Killer 7 on here. One of my favorite games of all time.
Hate to sound lazy, but if you could please put a list of the games reviewed in the description, that would be sweet and greatly appreciated!
I hate having to jog back, to re-watch a segment, because that messes up your excellent presentation flow...
Carson B Wagner that way ppl would not see the vid
Geist is a really good idea. Multiplayer could be great for it. You get everything that person has. Weapons, armor, and items. You get their health gauge.
I find that Rebel Strike : Rogue Squadron III is awesome because it also comes with Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II as well, but with a co-op campaign mode
Beach Strikers the volleyball game was very good.
Twin snakes is easily my favorite GameCube and it was my first intro into MGS. I watched clips of it on G4 and knew I had to get it. $35 at target the next day and I was so happy with my purchase. Played it for about a year or so everyday
killer7! best game ever made.
Hell ya
Twin snakes brought me so much fun and fond memories of the game cube I liked everything about it from the game itself to the packaging, to the artwork, to playing on that epic, unbeatable iconic GameCube controller
Baten Kaitos for me is the best Gamecube game ever
Gamecenter *Best game ever.
Great video. One correction, however. Even though they sound somewhat different, the cast of MGS: The Twin Snakes is actually the same cast in the Playstation version. Most of the cast simply used different pseudonyms.
Cam Clarke = James Flinders = Liquid Snake
Debi Mae West = Mae Zadler = Meryl
Jennifer Hale = Carren Learning = Naomi
Christopher Fritz = Christopher Randolph = Otacon
Paul Otis = Paul Eiding = Roy Campbell
Kim Mai Guest = Kim Nguyen = Mei Ling
Renee Raudman = Renne Collette = Nastasha
Patric Laine = Patric Zimmerman = Revolver Ocelot
Peter Lurie = Chuck Farley = Vulcan Raven
Doug Stone = Doug Stone = Psycho Mantis
Tasia Valenza = Julie Monroe = Sniper Wolf
Greg Eagles = George Byrd = Donald Anderson
The only new addition was Rob Paulsen who voiced Grey Fox, who was originally voiced by Greg Eagles/George Byrd.
So some of the most critically acclaimed and popular Gamecube titles are hidden gems now
Milhouse Van Houten I would say the most popular thing on here was probably skies of arcadia. but honestly I don't hear alot of people talk about that to be fair
Because 1) After 15 years they are starting to become forgotten. 2) Gamecube had no advertising like the NES/SNES days, the console & games got slept-on during it's lifespan.
Right? I'm curious how METAL GEAR SOLID is a "hidden gem" lol. Great game though.
As soon as you said "Every GameCube owner should have the GameBoy attachment," I started rolling around on my floor shouting (while stretching my arms and legs) "You're right, Metal Jesus! You're right! I need one!".
Star Wars Rogue Leader was my game of choice when I bought my Gamecube on launch day. I blow me away!
I'm not sure we're understanding the meaning of "hidden gem."
Ikaruga and Metal Gear Solid, for example.
seriously..... hidden gems..... HIDDEN.... as in didnt' sell cause no one knew about it.
No it means people don't say eyyy remember star fox 64? man that was great. people skip some like assault
so it means more like instead of 1.4 mil sells its like 100k sells with mediocre reviews
Azhrei2000 metal gear solid is a triple A game no matter what version. It is 100 percent NOT a hidden gem. For real nobody knew about it? Nigga please.
Azhrei2000 hidden gem is something not many people know about what you described is a rare game not a hidden gem if a game doesn't sell well it becomes rare if a game gets overshadowed by popular games it becomes a hidden gem
Sorry, but I’m a Metal Gear fan and only found out about Twin Snakes on the GC tonight. So it was a hidden gem for me. I went with the ps1 and ps2 etc versions
Amazing! Funny thing, most of the games are also some of my Gamecube favorite. Skies of Arcadia and Baten Kaitos are awesome! And Ikaruga I'm now playing the Steam version. Cheers!
I love Game Boy Player.
Killer 7 eventually came out on the PS2, but it was better on Gamecube. On the Gamecube the game has better controls, much faster loading times, and better graphics. Also they removed a sex scene on the PS2 version, if you are into that sorta thing ;)
In addition to new texture graphics, Skies of Arcadia Legends had 24 new discoveries, Moonfish, the Angel of Death changes, and all the new Wanted Lists that are only found on the GC version.
Gamecube Player is awesome. Luckily i was able to buy mine from my cousin for 5 bucks. I don't have many GB games so I haven't really played with it much, but liked it a lot, since it does get kind of tiring trying to look at the little screen of the handhelds. I wish they'd do something similar for the Wii U. Just image playing DS and 3DS games on it, using the gamepad as the touch screen. It'd work great. :)
The DS & 3DS on a big screen ? It would be a dream come true. I'm not a fan of playing on a handheld console since your head is always looking down, it hurt after a while...
giznad138 can you help me with a question. There are 2 versions of game boy player. I was wondering how you knew which was which to buy correct disc there are a USA and Japan version. Any info would be great looking on eBay now 4 disc
GameDjeenie same question if you can help
Goldeneye Rogue Agent has a pretty great multiplayer mode, full-on ragdoll physics and interactive map elements like traps. Really fun.
Since when is MGS a hidden gem?
Since it didn't even sold half a million copies
Twin Snakes was since not everyone had a Gamecube who liked MGS.
6:30 Ikaruga, another magnificent port from Sega Dreamcast
That card-based combat system of Baten Kaitos ruined it for me... Why not a traditional turn-based or Action-RPG like the Tales of series ?? I didn't understand shit and I just gave up. Shame since this game is really beautiful...
Top 10 games of all time for me
I like the card system, and the fact some of the cards aged and turned into different things. But, to each his own. Had a GREAT ost...but horrid voice recording.
Killer 7 is one of my favourite hidden gems on GameCube, me and my brother would be creeped out by this game but would still play it for some reason idk why but we liked it, it’s never too late to comment 👍
One thing he forgot to mention about the GC version of MGS is that they ruined 90% of the cut scenes with ridiculous action like Snake back flipping onto a flying missile and shooting his stinger missile at Liquid. All the realism and intensity of the story is completely ruined by those ridiculously stupid cutscenes. The game play is definitely improved but if you want to experience one of the best stories in gaming, play the PS1 version for sure. They also re-recorded all the voices which also messes up a lot of the story and original acting.
The new moves and stuff aren't as restricted as the original MGS, but that doesn't mean that it's better. The game's layout was made and perfected to work with the PS1 MGS gameplay, not MGS2 gameplay. It just doesn't feel right.
Your eyes will die or at least cry blood if you play the PS1 version today...
GameDjeenie
I actually play the PS1 version regularly, it's a nearly perfect game and storyline. GC version ruins the story and some of the voice acting.
benbmusic88 The first Metal Gear Solid is one of my favorite games of all time, no matter the console. I played through the original PS1 release more than 15 times (all the MGS games are pretty ripe for speedruns when you skip the cutscenes) and when The Twin Snakes version released for GC, I didn't like the new voice recordings at all (especially Mei Ling, she went from super cute Chinese girl with an accent to speaking plain English with none of that personality behind it). But the more times I've played through it over the years (more than 5 times for sure) the more I've started to prefer it over the original version. The controls are so much smoother, being able to fire weapons in first person is a dream, and overall it's just an amazingly crafted remake. Sure, some of the new action stuff is ridiculous, but I LOVE ridiculous action and it fits in perfectly with the rest of the MGS games which are chock-full on nonsensical insanity.
Robert Martin I agree the gameplay is WAY better but the story and dialog are too important for me. If I'm skipping cutscenes than I'll probably pick the GC version for sure but if I wanna enjoy the epic story, PS1 is the definitive version for me. Always good to talk to a fellow MGS1 fan, also my favorite of all time. One part that was hilariously bad in the GC version is Nastasha. All of a sudden she's got an American accent LOL.
Why there hasn't been a sequel to Baten Kaitos or Skies of Arcadia is beyond me. Those games are SO damn good.
Actually, there was a 2nd Baten Kaitos called Baten Kaitos Origins. So technically it's a prequel.
WHERE. IS. TALES OF SYMPHONIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I had to have played through that game at least 5 times and got a different ending almost every single one.
Dominique Dorsinville actually that's if you choose Kratos, you get a different ending.
Yeah Tales is defintley a gem for that system but the RPG's he mentions are even more less known.
I don't think it's a hidden gem it's kind of just a gem.
Tommy thekeyblademaster Actually, Baten Kaitos is more well-known
I bought both versions of baten kaitos because of this video, and I am a huge jrpg fan, ever since my secret of mana days. Baten kaitos has been the jrpg penicillin shot I have been needing for a long time now. Thank you so much for focusing on the GameCube!
Killer 7 exists on PS2 also.
Ikaruga japanese version was released on Dreamcast.
and I agree with you on Rogue Squadron, it's an awesome tale on Star Wars universe, I love them.
1:15 YEEES! I cheered in the last video when you named Eternal Darkness, but I was disappointed that this wasn't here. I freaking loved this game.
my son has just gotten into donkey kong jungle beat and zelda windwaker..the graphics/gameplay and the console altogether,although it was left to the wayside at the time, are a real pinnacle for me..a really great machine with some absolutely great games
Excellent video! However, the voice work for the MGS: The Twin Snakes is actually done by the voice cast of the original game, the only character who is a different is the Cyborg Ninja. According to David Hayter, voice of Solid Snake, everything was rerecorded due to the fact the original game's audio was recorded in a makeshift studio in an apartment, not a soundproof room, and the better sound hardware of the Gamecube allowed you to hear the traffic noise that was picked up because of this.
Talking about Killer 7, a continuation to the series by the same developer has just been released in Japan called "Killer is Dead". A North American release is due later this month! It's for both the 360 and PS3.
I absolutely loved the Rogue Squadron series.
Finally Skies of Arkadia is getting the appreciation it deserves, it is an amazing game! when i first played it i had no idea what i was doing or what to do so i always got stuck but it always had that i still wanna try and beat you factor... then a few years later i was ill and decided to restart my file... and boy was it a good choice, i think that game took far more hours of my life than it should have!
2020, sounds like someone at Disney watched this because now we have Star Wars: Squadrons on next gen!!!
So glad you mentioned star wars rouge squadron. They are by far the best star wars games on consoles and its the only reason i own a gamecube. Squadron II, III, bounty hunter, attack of the clones, awesome star wars games. Trying to get my hands on Jedi outcast which I've found relatively cheap. Contemplating wether to buy that or spend the extra money for star fox instead.
Not everybody who discovers a console and starts collecting for it, does it at the same time. Also, I make my videos for all regions, since only half my traffic comes from N. America and not every game is marketed the same world wide (or even available)
The GameCube was an excellent console and there's so many misconceptions about it, few people know it the most powerful console of it's generation. The proprietary disk format was a big error on Nintendo's part, in an age when DVD was emerging as the next home video format it was a big selling point for the XB and PS2. The disk was clever in that it was near impossible to pirate because of the size and it being read outwards to centre.
hi from spain!!!what a great channel, i hace discovered a few days go, but one of my favourites now!!good work!!all the people in the videos are great i really enjoy!!
It's so refreshing to find a TH-cam gamer who doesn't make a bunch of shitty jokes that don't land, or do a bunch of shitty "hilarious" voices that are annoying as shit.
You just list your videos appropriately ("GameCube hidden gems) and provide me with the promised information (a bunch of underrated GameCube games).
Seriously, though...thank you for not being an annoying, snarky asshole. I can rely on you in order to simply deliver straightforward video game content.
I've subscribed.
Battalion Wars - one of the best GameCube games.
Good to see Baten Kaitos on the list, if there ever is a part 3 to this video series, put Baten Kaitos Origins, the even better sequel/prequel to Baten Kaitos.
Aside from what you mentioned, The Gamecube is probably the hardiest console ever made.
Over the years my Gamecube has been knocked off the shelf quite a few times, yet all I have to do is dust it off and it looks like new. I wouldn't be surprised if my Gamecube lasts longer than my Wii U.
I couldn't agree more about the GBA adapter... it's a must-have for the GameCube!
rouge squadron 3 was also a great game, it had all the RS2 missions on co op mode plus a shit load a extremely fun single player missions that coincide with the original trilogy story line
Twin Snakes sold terribly on the GC, so I believe it belongs here. I didn't even make the Top 100 best selling GC games!
I am SO glad you mentioned the Gameboy player! It was the chief reason I got a Gamecube over the Dreamcast (though I own one of those too now). Dawn of Souls aside, I prefer the GBA remakes of the Final Fantasy series (though I prefer the Origins port for both 1&2).
Now if Nintendo would only make a 3DS player for the Wii U...
MetalJesusRocks Stumbled onto your channel the other day. Great stuff, you rock!
one game that I probably would have added is megaman network transition. it's a game set in the battle network universe and where you use megaman in the internet world, but it's a side scrolling jumpin 'n' shootin' masterpiece
Pikmin always springs to mind as maybe not as well known as it was back in the gamecube days. I always loved Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance on Gamecube on co-op, although the game was multiplatform and the sequel didn't hit the gamecube, I always felt imo that it not only played better with the gamecube controller, but looked better also
I have to agree with baten kaitos. that was my favorite game cube game. great job with the videos metal jesus.
James Ratay Help me make the series more well known and demanded.
I second Mgs The Twin Snakes best Mgs game period, the cutscenes are epic especially against Cyborg Ninja and gameplay is really well done.
P.S. It truly is a shame this game was never ported to any other console it truly is IMHO a console seller 👍👍
i'm happy that after watching these 2 videos i recognize most of these games and even own some of them like ED, Geist and MGSTTS
The Gameboy player is a must have! Big thumbs up to this series!
MGS Twin Snakes didn't have any CGI cutscenes. It was all in real time. And speaking of Star Wars on GameCube: Never mind about Lucas Arts, the studio that made Rogue Leader has shut its doors already 3 years ago (Factor 5).
They're pretty sought after, at least here in the States. I didn't even know you needed a disc too so that kind of dashed my hopes of finding one in the wild.
well done MetalJesus, like always!! You have me wanting to see a gameboy advance hidden gems!! Also, what happened to "I hate U"?
Awesome video - That RPG Baten Kaitos seems like one of those working buying a console for. It looks like Final Fantasy 10 meets Magic the Gathering!
I dont really see lucsarts making a rogue squadron game since they made the games force unleashed and shied away from the flying spaceships type combat. But i completely agree it would be awesome. Great vid as usual MJR!
Killer 7 is very underrated and an love or hate kind of game. It's one of my favorites in therms of story and style, totally badass!
GC hidden gems? Those are some of the best games in the catalogue, which is great. What a fantastic game system.
FYI cool thing. Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia are available as playable characters on Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. Shock and awesome.
Hi Metal Jesus and Reggie. Great one again! My son and I where playing Gauntlet Dark Legacy yesterday. I can recommend that because it is a great multi player Hack and slash role-playing game. \m/
Vyse and Aika from Skies of Arcadia also appear as playable characters in Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3...
thanks for including i-ninja . this is a favourite of mine. I played it originally on pc. I didn't know that it didn't sell well. always wondered why there was no sequel. he would be great in super smash brothers.
Funny, I just came from the last video in which i mentioned Baten Kaitos, and it's the first game on this list. You should play Baten Kaitos Origins though, it has better , more strategic combat, improved graphics and a more interesting story.
Carlos Espinosa Help me make this game more well known, let the gem shine.
Very happy to see Baten Kaitos in the video! Hopefully more people will try it out. The story, the visuals, and the gameplay are really great. It's a shame the game was overlooked.
And I see some people are suggesting Tales of Symphonia. That's also an excellent rpg, though I wouldnt really call it a hidden gem.
Nara Help me make this game more well known, let the gem shine.
hey thanks man, nice to see some positive thinking now and again :D I'm currently getting back to tomorrow never dies and hopefully I'll beat it and the rest. I hope you reacquire the games your missing, there are some forgotten gems in this series. also hoping to try timesplitters and perfect dark, seeing as how the goldeneye team split in 2 and each half made one of those games. anyway have a good time collecting and happy hunting :)
I´m still waiting for Baten Kaitos 3 to this day. The games had amazing atmosphere and art style, not to mention the most beautiful soundtracks I´ve ever heard (Motoi Sakuraba is a genius, and the scores for the Baten Kaitos games are, in my opinion, his greatest work yet)
steaktastebetterpill Help make this game more well known then, do what you can to help out.
