I love how these games had themed rooms to explore with remixed music. when I had these i would spend more time exploring than I would playing the games. This is sorely missed in any new compilation of this sort
The Japanese name on the fifth game reads "Wonder Momo" (Wonder Peach). I've heard of the name but have never seen the game in action. I haven't watched the whole video yet so I guess I'll finally get the chance to see the game in action. Thanks for the video I am about to watch :)
My Favorite Namco Arcade Games on this Namco Museum Encore Vol.6 was King and Balloons and especially 5 games I play the most was Sky Kid, Rolling Thunder, Rompers, Motos and Dragon Saber. But Wonder Momo is okay I love PC Engine port.
Well, I did the unthinkable..... I bought this compilation too. Only missing Volume 2, and since I prefer the US one (with Super Pac-Man), and it's expensive as hell, I may not go for it (I paid $41.99 for a nice copy of Encore on Ebay). For my Super Pac-Man needs, I got the Game Boy Color Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games, , one of them has Pac-Attack, the other Super Pac-Man. I also picked up Namco Museum Mega Mix on Wii, on it, Super Pac-Man (YAY!), and the other game I wanted on Volume 2, Gaplus.
Thought about buying this volume, but on a PS2, some of the games have issues with severe slowdown. I use Swap Magic with my PS2 imports, and I play my PS1 imports via a Gameshark that came with a memory card where I keep the memory card for it in slot 2's well....slot. It involves disc swapping for both, but unlike a PS2, it won't harm the console as both discs stop spinning before I open the console's lid up (after all, Swap Magic's casing allows you to load games from the top of a PS2 instead of the front, because it replaces the top half of the PS2 with it's own casing. Just picked up the Japanese version of Volume 5, because well, it was under $30, unlike the western version, which is bonkers in price. That, and Legend of Valkyrie's greatness cannot be denied.
@@SVT512 I've learned to know the name of these game titles, even if I play games at a far lesser pace these days (ya know, work wears you out, and I don't have the time to dive into long modern games, but these classics are great for shorter bursts of play). Was a huge fan of Namco in the 80's (along with Taito and Konami), but after about 93 or 94, when their 3D output started coming out, wasn't as big a fan of their then newer stuff at all.
I don't know if you're into RetroArch for emulation but it has a translation (text to speech) option I saw an announcement video on in their YT page. One could rip their optical discs (up to PS2 I think) via RetroArch, then enable translation. This is a basic search query w/in their YT Channel that may help if interested: th-cam.com/users/Libretrosearch?query=translation

This is the only PS1 Namco Museum game without a Pac-Man game on it.
And the japanese version of Volume 2, where Cutie Q took Super Pac-Man's place.
I must say I really enjoyed the namco museum ps1s and awhile ago i got vol 3 and planning to collect them someday.
Thanks for picking this up for a video. Really liked the namco ps1 classic videos you posted previously.
That's a nice collection of games!

I’ve played Namco Museum Encore once. And Dragon Saber, the sequel to Dragon Spirit, was favorite one. Firepower is key for me.
I need to get ahold of Rompers! Looks fun!
Ya, I really enjoy that game!
Didn't game video game release in North America in the late 1990s?
Thank you! Bye bye ..! Bwahaha 🤣👌
That cracks me up in that game every time I hear it :P
That unknown Japanese Namco game is actually called wonder Momo
That’s what it’s actually called
Second unknown game is called rompers
6:19 it’s basically just Galaxyan but with a twist

Cool!
23:08 Yes this game is pretty weird but it’s from Japan so what it’s supposed to be that way
I don't think any of these arcade games made it to the east coast.
Fortunately, King and Balloon, Motos, Sky Kid, and Rolling Thunder were able to be on some U.S. Namco Museum games.

Wonder Momo, the game you didn't know the name of, is fun to play once you get the hang of it.
So thats what it is called :P I am terrible at pronunciations and such :P

There are US fan made instructions you can print so it says NAMCOT like they used to be called

That one with the anime fighting girl sure was a weird one. I wonder why it never came here to the states? 😋
It was very bizzare :P
Eventually it did, on the modern consoles by way of Arcade Archives. It is Japan only no more.
How were you able to get the game working on your system?
disc swap
@@SVT512 That's nice, but I'm skeptical that it would work because when I tried doing it, it didn't work out.
@@jbp9415 Ok, it works for me when using this procedure - www2.gvsu.edu/brittedg/PSXImports.html
Namco Encore Rated R for RETRO
I learned in Word class that the R symbol actually means registered trademark.

Which Namco Museum volume is your favorite?
probably the one with Assault on it.
@@SVT512 If I could only pick one, I say Vol. 4 is my favorite as well.
@@SVT512 That's Vol. 4.
You need a DualAnalog controller or one of the third-party ones that has the "green light".
