Here here to 9 more years! Idk how long ago it was, maybe 5 years, when I pulled up the entire SNESDrunk review playlist, hit shuffle, and started doing work on my car. It was a blissful few hours of listening to obscure person references and great game knowledge. As someone who's first console was a SNES, thank you so much for this amazing channel.
Wow, 9 years? It certainly doesn't feel like it. I'm just glad you're still here putting out great content. Loved the Ween reference;huge fan of both your channel and the band as well.
Possibly the most significant thing about this game: the music was composed by Yukihiro Takahashi, a member of the seminal Japanese techno group Yellow Magic Orchestra. It's the only game he ever composed for. It's not a great soundtrack but it has some unusual instrumentation for SNES.
I love looking through old Nintendo Powers and finding games that never came out here! It's fun checking to see if they came to any other regions or consoles and trying them out. I've bought a lot of fun imports that way.
Still finding gems I see. I've been playing SNES since 1992 and you still manage to find new games for me to check out. That's why this channel is one of my favorites! Thanks dude
I remember reading a preview about this game and seeing a character named Duke. It was in an old video game magazine, it looked like Zelda and I was excited for it and then I never knew what happened to it. Great video
Mornin' SDrunk, out of all those non-localized SNES titles, I think I don't remember this one except for its hookshot and jumping mechanics. Keep up the good work brining up all these forgotten goodies ✌🏼
I grew up poor and missed the SNES generation entirely. These videos have been very illuminating to me. It seems like a really interesting time for Nintendo, even though I'm more of a Sony guy myself.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu that's true but Nintendo screwed themselves over big time by having strict practices for 3rd party developers, choosing cartridge over CD, and overestimating their hold on the market.
@@whosaidthat84 That's the second irony. That what became the PlayStation was actually a CD add-on for the SNES originally and would end up completely bulldozing and steamrolling over the N64 thanks to the CD format. So not only was the abandoned CD add-on what created the PlayStation brand it's also the reason the PlayStation used CDs. Even though the CD lazer was actually made by Phillips as in the Philips CD-i but that's a whole other story.
Good video! I've never heard of this one. It's too bad the game is so short, but it looks decent enough for a quick play. It is always great to discover "new" 16-bit action/adventure RPGs, even though there are far better ones on the SNES that are already localized.
Japanese people use a lot of German words, especially in movies and games. Like in the Final Fantasy fighting game Ehrgeiz. As a German it surprises me to this day, I don't know why they feel protracted to our language though.
I don't fully understand it but there's a lot to the German and Japanese connection. Historically the Japanese saw themselves as the "rightful rulers" of Asia, and it seems they saw Germany as sort of the same as them. Germany is often portrayed in Japanese media as "the smartest/strongest/best/etc" of Europe.
hah, what a time to upload this. so I used to stream a segment which I called Foreign Fridays on a now-dead site, but this was probably the most memorable to some friends of mine. specifically the area at 4:33 with the bats. God, I got stuck there for quite a while, but I think I forgot to upload it, lol. the real reason it's interesting is because this is perfectly timed with my birthday, which is relevant because I want to start streaming again for at least a year, so now I gotta make sure to upload the playthrough. it would have been really cool if this day was also your anniversary of snesdrunk, but either way, congrats 🎉.
Bro i use to download all kinds of SNES roms back in like 2007 to like 2012.. i have folders filled with so many SNES rom hacks.. Like home made snes games that other people made its very interesting. wishi could send you the folder so you could make a video on some of these weird snes games i got..
I enjoyed Neugier but yeah, it's pretty short and unremarkable. One of the most interesting things about it is how it's an action RPG that encourages speed runs, you get graded when you finally finish in terms of time taken, enemies defeated, etc. And also, how it was the first game worked on by Masaharu Gotanda ("Masaking") of Star Ocean fame.
The whole fascination & love of all things German, by the Japanese goes back to the Meiji-Restoration Era, of the late 19th century, where Emperor Meiji & his government modernized Japan after centuries of isolation. The Meiji-Restoration era government, literally dragged Japan, kicking & screaming into the modern era from being literally a feudal country. Emperor Meiji & his prime ministers and high ranking statesmen where huge fans of all things German/Prussian. Like the German/Prussian virtues of discipline, punctuality, efficiency, hard work etc., the Prussian military, the German engineering and also fine arts/music. They brought in German engineers to build infrastructure & also train the local engineers, many doctors, engineers, scientists of all sorts where sent to Germany to study, the modern Imperial Japanese Army/Navy was trained by Prussian officers.When a faction of traditionalist Samurais rebelled against Emperor Meiji, the rebellion was put down by the Imperial Army with help of these Prussian military ''advisors'' and the Japanese Constitution is heavily influenced by the Constitution of the German Kaiserreich and the statesmanship of chancellor Bismarck.(they pretty much copied entire sections of their Constitution from the Germans/Prussians and also the Japanese legal system is highly influenced by the German one) . German classical composers like Wagner or Strauss became also very popular and generally speaking, the Japanese love things like German beer and trad. German cuisine.
i discovered this channel back in 2015, dont know how lol but thank god i did. Btw, i saw your super mario rpg video several times. As regards to this game, im adding it to a list im making with all the most remarkable games you've covered.
"A decent rental" is fine by me, I've been curious (see what I did there) about this game for a long time and just, well... forgot about it. Gonna transfer it to the RG350 and give it a shot. 😎
I was incredibly sick a couple months back, and while laying on my couch barely able to move, I stumbled upon your channel. The relaxing calm demeanor of your voice, and the easy to digest presentation was so calming and relaxing. It helped take my mind off how i felt, and a wave of nostalgia from old games turned a miserable situation for me bearable and even enjoyable. Thanks! Hope you keep it up for many years!
I've never found out exactly why, but in the 80s, Japanese game & anime culture seemed obsessed with Greco-Roman mythology, In the 90s I guess that got old and Germanic & Nordic mythology & terms became the cool thing. You end up with a number of properties working in German or German-sounding titles.
I think that they have a bit of a fascination with the German language in general. You see it pop up here and there, sorta like with English but way more limited.
Well spoken "Neugier". I didn't read the title, just heard what you have spoken and "Did he just say "Neugier"? And yes, than directly the explanation.
We Germans share a Long Story with Japan since 1632. Mostly friendly and Well regarded Long Story short there is too much to say for this short Chat boxes But its realy interesting and Worth a Look If U wanna find Out why soo much German is mixd Up in their language We also have a Sakura roud(Cherry blossom trees)
I know there was a deep relationship with the Dutch that lasted the entire time Japan was in it’s self appointed exile. Which lasted hundreds of years.
I guess this one truly does count as "forgotten" since it actually was reviewed in Nintendo Power and just never came out in the US rather than just being "Japan-only."
I remember seeing this advertised in an early SNES buyer's guide from Nintendo! I had no idea that it, and a few others like Dream Probe, never actually made it over to the States. This looks rather fun, and much more like what I wish Lagoon had been.
It's a good thing that this game is short, because it kinda gets repetitive (1 weapon only, no spells etc). I recommend people who crave a game like this to actually try the Ys 4 and 5 or the Quintet trilogy.
Interesting game, reminds me of Terranigma but much shorter and blander judging by your description. That game still is the gold standard of action RPGs to me.
Hey SNES drunk, former Californian and now fellow Albuqwerquien here. Would you be interested in talking about some of the amazing SNES/NES-style games that have been being created for years now? Like on Switch (but not exclusively). Some of those indie/big studio games really try to do the old school thing justice. Your thoughts and commentary would be so great! Always love your content either way. Cheers!
9 years still going strong! SNES DRUNK YOU'RE THE BEST

9 years and we still love every video you put out. You've got an amazing voice for narration and you do your homework on every game you cover.

Thanks, now I have "push th' little daisies" stuck in my head. I hope you're proud 😆
Shockingly short game, but i'd honestly take that over a game that overstays its welcome.
I loved Lagoon for all its faults, so I could see myself liking this a lot too. Cool soundtrack too!
