@@Skizzy81384 how am i using them?
So glad to hear you guys won your appeal! Looking forward to another great year of Now in the 90s (and thanks for the shout out during the episode with 2 of my top SNES games of all time, MegaMan X and Metal Combat)! I had no idea you could control the ducks in Duck Hunt.
This is the particular now in the 90's video I was waiting for as you guys are covering one of my most favourite of all time as well as my own personal introduction to Mega man directly: Mega man X and it is undisputeldy one of the greatest video games of all time. I still thoroughly enjoy plying it to this day 30 years later. Thank you for covering one of my most favourite games ever literally
I in fact did NOT know you could control the ducks in Duck Hunt.
Commonly unknown lol. I grew up with 3 older brothers and they always made me be the duck. Figured out how to juke them and make em look like chumps eventually. Gotta love family :p
Not exactly hidden arcane knowledge, it's right there in the manual, page 5. :D
But then again, probably not that many kids read the manuals thoroughly back in the day, especially for a seemingly simplistic game as Duck Hunt. Likely many were like _"Yeah yeah yeah, point the Zapper at TV, shoot ducks for points, got it, just let me play already!"_
But on the topic of (more or less) hidden tricks, I wonder when the Super Mario Bros. continue trick (after game over on world 2 or beyond, hold A and press start at main screen to start at the world you died in) was first discovered, as that was definitely _not_ given out in the manual...
How did you not know that? Di you grow up in the soviet union or something?
hey man don't worry about it. There's kids born every day not knowing you can control the ducks in duck hunt.
The Microcosm soundtrack slaps because one of the composers was Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman
Rick wakeman was a master with the keyboards in Yes
But he's a p(r)ogger not a slapper
As a Yes fan, this blows my mind
Never heard of that OST before
The ingame music is by Cold Storage (who later did the Wipeout music). The Wakeman soundtrack is on the disc but went unused cause they couldn't figure out how to stream both the FMV levels and CD audio at the same time. I had the SCD version at the time and naturally tried playing it in a CD player only to get completely different, new agey music and being utterly confused. It was only decades later I found out it was in fact by Rick Wakeman.
There's a whole article somewhere that goes in depth on this. Basically Psygnosis leadership were all big fans of 70s prog (they did get Roger Dean to make their cover artwork all the time), while the actual devs who were all around their early 20s at the time thought that stuff was just lame boomer shit. IIRC the article also said one of the devs had to babysit Wakeman's kids while he was working on the soundtrack in the evenings.
The fact that Battle Clash and Metal Combat haven't gotten some kind of release on mobile phones is just baffling. Precision tapping for the weak spots as well as being able to include both campaigns as a single story would be a slam dunk for Nintendo.
Heck, what about the DS/3DS with their touch screens? Doesn't the Switch also have touch controls that are hardly ever used?
@@HylianFox3 The problem with touch controls on the Switch though is that a game needs to either have a non-touch alternative, or the game can't be played while the console is docked. Making the touch controls more of a novelty, than anything else.
@@gurvmlkhmm, good point. I keep forgetting since I play Switch pretty much exclusively in handheld mode.
As many have said, "Lucky and Wild" is the game you are looking for Dylan.
Driving/racing game but with two player proper co-op where player one shoots AND drives while player two just shoots. You rack up criminal hits and can shoot cars but would rather get the people, cause at the end of a stage you pull into a girly garage for repairs and the more you took down, the more health you got back.
If you can find it, play it. It's a hoot.
You beat me to it. Lucky and wild was awesome!
1994 already? Time sure goes by fast.
Got Mega Man X at Kmart for $20, how times have changed.
Do you have any of them counterfeit $20's left over? I could really use a few of them to buy groceries with.
I remember the days when you could get retro games from FuncoLand for pennies on the dollar. Nowadays even common titles cost like a hundred bucks apiece...
From that one K-Mart that's still open?
I got Earthbound for $20 new from Best Buy in 1995. Times have indeed changed, my friend.
@@GabePuratekuta
Where is the k-mart still open?! All the ones in Georgia are permanently closed.
There was an arcade game called "Lucky and Wild", where you and a buddy played as cops in a car. Player 1 would drive and shoot while player 2 just... shot. What was fun was sometimes the driving would get intense, so my older sister would focus on that and I'd grab her gun and be shooting akimbo. Really fun times!
awesome. I love versatile gameplay like that.
Was hoping to hear that; many a time where I was dual-wielding while another just drove. 👍
Mario Kart Double Dash years before its time!
I still have that issue of Nintendo Power with Mega Man X. It was silver and came with pogs. That magazine got me through a rough January that year when we kept getting buried in snow for the whole month.
Pogs!? That's so radical!
Best part of my Friday is watching the new Now in the 90s 😎
I just beat Megaman X for only the second time in my life a few days ago, had no idea it was coming up on its 30th anniversary! Absolutely love this game.
Metal Combat was the reason my superscope was used so much. It had such great replayability AND the controller player had much more than 4 attacks, they had street fighter type combos and inputs!!!!
1994 was a huge year. Can't wait to see all the classics.
Someone forgot to update the title & description.
Edit: nvm
It still shows up if you share the video.
Way to start off the new year, Editor Dylan! 😂
What a great way to kick off the new year is to show the games. That came out in 1994, is Capcom's MegaManX. One of my favorite games ever
Mega man X is hands down my favourite mega man game period, it’s such a banger of a game.
FACTS!
@@AndSaveAsManyAsYouCanindeed facts I even like it more than the classic mega man games
I HATE the original 8 bit Mega Man games. Way too hard for me lol. I always liked X though.
@@WinspearUltima Mega Man 3 was my first, which led me to pick up 1, 2, & 4. 3 & 4 were my favorites on the NES. I upgraded to SNES after 4. X was my favorite on the SNES. I don't compare eras / platforms, I keep them seperate when picking favorites.
Can you really compare a Ford model T to a Lexus LFA, the concord to the hindenberg, a steam locomotive to a mag lev bullet train?
X2 for me!
Dylan there is an amazing arcade game called "Lucky and Wylde" where one person drives, and has a gun, and player two has their own gun. I used to play it with my dad all the time, but I'd have both guns. It's awesome!
I was totally gonna bring that game up. I loved it as a kid.
I was about to mention this one. It was super rad. I loved the anime style, and the environments were cool, too. If I remember correctly, one level had you driving through a shopping mall Blues Brothers-style.
Used to play it with my dad too lol
Isn’t it called “Lucky and Wild”?
I came here to say this
4:14 I never owned Mega Man X on SNES, but I had a copy of Tommy Moe's Extreme Winter Skiing & Snowboarding! I was once in an online chat event on CompuServe with Nintendo reps, and I won a giveaway for a stack of games! I forget what the rest were, but one of them was also Uniracers. I remember one day a big box arrived at my home from Nintendo with enough sports games inside to give Editor Dylan the shakes.
Oh, and thanks for listing me and all the Patreon backers in the previous episode!
Battle clash and metal combat were truly amazing.
I also thought it was Mega Man 10, 6 in NES and counting 3 on the Gameboy I guessed. Fun fact, Riddick Bowie's game was released in Mexico as Chavez (featuring Julio Cesar Chavez) and is too my knowledge the first regional title for Latin America.
the X design at 3:04 is supposed to be an early version of the first armor. the chest and helmet look similar to the final design, except with different colors. i actually think it looks cooler.
way cooler. though less 'on brand'
But X wouldn’t have looked as good in all blue upgrades.
@@ThomasW.-fh4xl Wouldn't seem so bad if it was some sort of Shark themed Water Armor, similar to some of the armors in the later X series.
@@Animebryan2 I don't remember the armor in the later X games being shark-like, but maybe you're right.
It looked terrible. Those shoulders look horrible and the dumb face mask did not help.
The final product for the armor stomps thar prototype.
320 days until Donkey Kong Country...
And a fruitful 1994/2024 to the Now in the 90s crew.
And by "fruitful" I mean a lot o' bananas.
RE: That X art
I've lost the details since the wayback machine didn't do a good job archiving the old BobandGeorge forums, but some people did some sleuthing back in '04/'05 and your guess is probably correct. The image was a part of the press kit emailed out to magazines listed as "SuperX.jpg". So the consensus was that it was a prototype design for what we now call First Armor (sometimes Light Armor for in-setting fanfic).
I remember buying the SNES Lethal Enforcers 1 with tickets at a local mall's arcade. I think it took me around eighteen months to save up enough tickets for it. I also had Bret Hull Hockey and spent many an hour playing it with dad, friends, or cousins
Happy new year Jared and Dylan! Been a great series, looking forward to 2024's episodes
Happy New Year to the crew of this wonderful channel! Mega Man X was the first ever Mega Man game I played and this game was quite an adventure and extremely challenging too. A legendary entry to a franchise with a timeless legacy.
It's good that I got all caught up right before the new year all leading up to this episode on my lunch break.
Happy New Year.
Hell of a kickoff for 2024/1994! Glad to see everyone is doing well, and here's to a happy and prosperous new year!
I doubt it helps much, but once I saw the appeal went through, I went back and watched every episode again... was a great time. I still think adding Dylan is one of the best things you guys did to this show. You get hard hitting facts like a news report from Jared and finish off with a bunch of jokes from Dylan. It's great.
maybe now Jerd can afford a shirt without pee stains on it
i keed i keed but what is going on at the collar and shoulders seriously
So glad you guys were re-monetized! You’re among my absolute favorite channels, and I really look forward to each new episode every Friday! Happy 1994, y’all!
I recall one review of Microcosm being "it looks like footage of a camera being showed up someone's arse, playing it is a similar experience"
Mega Man X was my first Mega Man game I ever owned and I loved it so darn much. I played it so much I could almost beat the game with my eyes closed
Try beating it without Sub/Heart Tanks or any Armor items besides the Boots. Minimalist run is a real challenge, even for veterans.
Jared, I felt nostalgic seeing you say "1994," and thinking of how long ago I was also watching your show. You've made it, with this one. Great series.
I'm really glad you guys got monetized. I finally joined. I'm a procrastinator. But damn, I look forward to these every friday, and i can still binge them in the ol headphones at work and it just does it for me. Lovin it guys
Happy New Year. I look forward to seeing the next episode.
Hey, Jared and Dylan, thanks for the entertaining show. It’s one of those things that still makes TH-cam good. Top notch.
Been waiting all day for this!! Love Fridays!
The music for Mega Man X is also fabulous. I now have Armored Armadillo's stage music running through my head, thank you for that.
Congratulations on the re-monetization!
When I got my first HDTV, the very first game I tried to play was Metal Combat. I was so disappointed to learn that light gun games don't work on LCD screens. I could never get tired of looking through the plastic sights and blasting robot weak points to cause massive explosions, and the hard mode where the robots are all gold is Nintendo hard, all set to great music.
I also got really into Riddick Bowe Boxing when my friend rented it, bought my own copy. Our thumbs got sore because you need to hold right the entire time. The first boxer I created was named Wiper Joe, he was deathly pale and wore cream trunks.
Mega Man X is literally my first memory and my favorite game
Happy new year looking forward to this years releases
Hardly the first to mention it Editor Dylan, but just wanted to pile on about how much you would have enjoyed the Lucky & Wild arcade cabinet. That thing was a blast. Great video guys, thanks for this channel!
I'd love to own that cabinet... damn expensive these days.
I’ve been waiting for this episode since the day I found your channel. Mega Man X is my favorite game of all time!
Happy new year Jared and Dylan 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So good to hear the channel is monetized again! Gotta say you guys are easily my favorite channel on TH-cam right now. I've been into retro gaming since I was 14, but since I was born in '95 I missed out on the vast majority of the best decade in gaming. Also, my first Mega Man X game was X4 on the PS1 and I've been a huge fan of the series ever since. 19 years later and we're still waiting for X9.
The Special Criminal Investigation-like game that your heart desires is Lucky and Wild. Full arcade cabinet contained steering wheel/pedals and two light guns to create a full buddy-cop scenario. One could drive and shoot while the other just shot, one could drive while the other manned both guns or you could go a full three-player game if you could cram all of you into the seat. It was awesome.
Dang! We only did 3 player once, surprised anyone else did (we thought we were breaking the rules, kids 🤦)
There were a few versions of the cabinet, some with less functionality, but I did play the full cab you're talking about one time and it was awesome!
First time in the channel and OMG the concept is a great one!! Watching as if it was a gaming news channel (like the modern ones) but from retro games?? That's crazy, will need to pass by more often and check the other videos!! 😄
To Dylan: The Boxing game was relocalized and retooled for Mexican audiences, and renamed "Chávez Boxing", in where your goal was to beat the (then) boxing legend JC Chávez. I actually owned it and it was quite fun. Your stars go up as you earn your way up the ladder.
Mega Man X 1 was one of the First Video Games I've ever played! I'd always watch my Older Brother Beat it and watch Zero Die to give us the Arm Cannon upgrade. One day I found out you can also get that arm cannon upgrade in Flame Mammoth's Stage I thought I had found a way to save Zero can I had a Fully Upgraded X. Sadly 10 year old me was not successful cause the game was made to have that story beat period, he just doesn't give you the Arm Cannon Upgrade just gives you a Complement, and I was so Sad I couldn't save him. Years Later I play X2 and I learn Holy crap I can REBUILD ZERO! I love the Mega Man Series Specially all the X games even some of the not so great ones. I just love that world so much and I hope one day we get X9.
I can't wait for 10 years to pass😂 2004 is my favorite year for gaming!
Don't be in such a hurry to grow up. Trust me, it goes by faster than you realize. Faster and faster every year. Slow down and smell the roses, so to speak.
Now in the New Millenium.
@@JustPlayinYT I actually do hope they cover 2000, at least as a bonus
Feel like the PS2 launch alone warrants it, could be a neat finale
Oh my, I've missed ya since last year! 😅 I'm glad you added the beta footage, loving those obscure details 👾 looking forward to a very retro 20XX year🎉
Love all you do Dylan.
Happy new Year all you people out there, maybe even non-people.
Love the gaming mag coverage spliced into the video. Super member berries going on here. Well done!
To me Megaman X might be as close as I've ever seen to what could be called 'the perfect game' every thing about it was satisfying. The weapons, to the upgrade system, to the enemies and the way the stages changed when you killed other bosses. And above all the music was freaking fire. Subjective of course but damn this game was good and the best in a very good series. MM2 is the only one I consider coming close to this monster in the same series. I put it on the same personal pedestal as LoZ Link to the Past and FF6 (or 3 depending on version).
I really like mega man X2.
The whole X series, especially the first few are freaking awesome. I think the music hits just a little harder in X1 and the 'optional' bosses in X2 were a little cryptic with their mechanic of needing to have fought them by a certain point or losing out for the playthrough is my only minor nitpick. Still had a damn ball and loved it as well though.
@SlitherLament X1, X2 & X4 are like the top 3 best Mega Man X games and some of the best Mega Man games period. X5 & X8 are also solid games IMO. The only X games that aren't good is X6 & X7. I also don't think X3 lived up to the other good titles. But it's better than X6 & X7 at least. There's still more good X games than bad. Even something like Extreme 1 & 2 on the Game Boy Color are pretty decent.
I've never actually played the gameboy ones.. might have to do that after this conversation lol. And oh good gods I had somehow blocked out X7.. I couldn't remember it off the top of my head and looked a quick video up.. oof, I think my poor memory was trying to save me. Yeah I think I would agree with your list overall lol.
The narrator in the commercial calling him "X Man" cracked me up. Can't wait to see what this year brings. Keep going strong and I hope it is a great year!
Mega Man X started my love of video games in general. I remember renting it from “Movie Buffs” in 94 and played the opening level right when I got home. I couldn’t stop. Thanks for covering it.
At last. This year can finally begin now that Now in the 90s has uploaded.
I knew about that haduken move but forgot all about it all through these years. Thanks for the flashback.
Here's a memory: I told my dad I wanted "Mega Man X" over the phone, and he misheard me and thought I said "Mega Man and Eggs."
adorable. Did you end up getting Yoshi or something?
I remember asking for Kirby Superstar and Mario paint, and getting Kirby's Dream Course and Mario All-stars.
How'd it taste?
@@KairuHakubi My dad double-checked and I made it clear what I meant. My dad also was usually sharp enough that if he saw a game called "Mega Man X" he would figure out that the X means Ecks, not Ten.
@@GabePuratekuta You might say it tasted like a.. Lunched Octopus.
@@EdmondDantes224 top quality dad.
3:08 You asked about this full armor X art work. This is the original design for his Ultimate Armor (or just fully upgraded armor since Capcom didn't call it Ultimate Armor X at the time.) It most likely was changed later into development. As there are photos of an American game journalist walking out of a game event before MMX was released, she is walking with a huge inflatable balloon, of fulyl upgraded X with the face mask. Unlike the blue and orange artwork seen in this magazine scan, the colors were white blue and yellow, looking very close to the full upgrade armor that we got. I'm not sure why they changed it. Maybe the face mask looked too ninja-like, too much like Casshern (white cyborg with huge yellow crest on forehead,) or they just liked look we got. It's very mysterious. I'll try to find the link of the woman walking out of the event with the helium inflated "alternate" X
just loved renting mega man x back in the day and thinking where was mega man 5 to 9 at the time... was a massive fan of the classic games at least 2 and 4 at the time since there were only like 4 or 5 games back then... just like mario 3 i beat mega man 4 and i wanted to upgrade so we got mario world and mega man x shortly after as us kids back then thought the snes was a huge leap in challenge... welcome 1994 you have some awesome bangers coming this year... 1 in mind in only a few short weeks...
When I was a kid I assumed there HAD to also be 7 8 and 9, so I would always put them on my Christmas list on the fridge. OBVIOUSLY my parents were never able to get that particular gift...
Hey editor Dylan if you didn't know Lamborghini American Challenge (SNES) has a mode where you can blast the opponent cars if you have a Super Scope plugged in. Your car either drives itself or can be controlled by P2. You did ask😛
Megaman X... Released in Japan in 1993, and in North America in 1994... Is a game that I hold dear to my heart to this day. Literally 30 years later. Times may change, but the impact this game had on me as a child is still felt to this day.
For the record, Microcosm also had a PC DOS port. If I remember correctly, it was more like the original.
Amiga CD32 also got a port. I still have my Mega CD Disc but no working Mega CD anymore
Mega Man X is the first game i remember playing in my life
imagine my pleasant surprise when i open this vid to see Jared
Loved Megaman X as a kid, now I love it even more an an adult. It took what was fun about the Megaman games & just made them feel 16-bit to their core.
I genuinely wish more games & series would use console generation leaps to reimagine what they can be in the same way games used to. I know there won't be monumental shifts in graphics, but those are good enough now. Just look at what God Of War & Zelda did many years ago now, just rethinking a franchise can go a long way.
For editor Dylan: there was an arcade game called Lucky & Wild which also had wheel and guns. Played alot when i was a kid
Agreed. Lucky and Wild was the first game I thought of when he asked for recommendations. That game is a Namco classic as far as I am concern. The Pursuit Force series for the PSP is also another one to check out.
A burguer king was going out of bussines when I was like 15 years old and had the fortune of arriving on the day that the guy who took care of the arcades decided to put almost every machine on freeplay, only the ticket ones were paid. Played that game from start to finish all day
@@juanneoxDamn, that's lucky... and wild 😂
great vid jerd
Oh no, Brett Hull Hockey mention. That was another of the many hockey games as a kid I had and played a lot of. It's definitely one of the more awkward ones the SNES got because of the camera angle and confusing controls. But it was one of the few who had the NHLPA's license but not the NHL itself, so they could use real player names and not the teams. It was also the basis for a later unreleased game based on RHI, a professional roller hockey league in the 90s. Used the same engine and graphics but changed the ice to a blue floor, used the lines and rules of roller hockey, and changed all the teams and players to match. The existing beta is still available online but if you don't like how Brett Hull Hockey plays, you won't like RHI 95 either.
It's nice to hear that at the end you guys got what you deserve: you have creativity, you have style and that's your job!
I remember I was one of the fews who when he saw Mega Man X for the first time in 1995 have said "What...10?!". At the same time I've noticed the brand new (for the time) Mega Man 7 on a shelf and I was even more confused...aaah, childhood memories. In Europe we never even had Mega Man 6 for the NES, the series got only 5 episodes here. The first time I heard to the Mega Man X soundtrack I was kinda shocked: it was AWESOME!
Choplifter!! Dude that was one of my favorite games growing up. My brother and I would just call it "helicopter game" (we're not native English speakers), so it took me forever to find it again as an adult 😂
I’m glad to see Jared confirm at the end that I wasn’t the only one who thought Mega Man X was Mega Man 10 when I first discovered it lol
great way to end a week.
One of the best content on youtube
Riddick Bowe Boxing, was renamed to Chavez, translated to Spanish and the final boxer reskinned, to feature Julio Cesar Chavez, the most famous Mexican Boxer, also, it was a sponsored game, with brands Like Pepsi, Sabritas(frito lay) and Gigante a super market chain(no Walmart) the first Video Game in Spanish for Latin America.
Wasn’t he murdered by his wife? Name seems familiar but that could just be from an episode of a cops lol
@@louyork8379 No, he is still alive, he is in his early 60's and he is professional trainer.
@@louyork8379you're thinking of Arturo gatti.
Oddly enough riddick bowe boxing is a port of evander holyfield boxing on the genesis. Both games use the same engine, with bowe having more stylized sprites.
Lucky & Wild was an arcade game where one person basically played Outrun while the other person played Time Crisis
Galloping Ghost Arcade outside of Chicago has it and it's extremely fun!
I'm surprised more people don't talk about Maverick Hunter X. That was a fantastic remake.
I agree! I still have my copy of Maverick Hunter X. I actually dug my PSP 2000 out of the closet and charged it up JUST so I could play MH X!
Happy new year.
Thank god you’re back!! Bam!!!
Microcosm was on the Amiga CD32 too **Crickets**
I've been waiting for this episode ever since Now in the 90s first premiered. And glad I kept my SNES copies of all three Mega Man X games.
Same! I got all 3 complete in box. So glad I hung onto these….especially X3 CIB!
Woo hoo! Let's go 1994! One of the best gaming years! This is going to be one wild ride. Happy New Year!
It’s vampire mega man when he gets bit by the bat on the armadillo stage
An interesting fact is that Riddick Bowe Boxing game was later edited to be sold in Mexico under the title Chavez.
Riddick Bowe boxing was translated and adapted in Spanish for the Mexican market, only that instead of Riddick, we get Julio César Chavez, and the game was named "Chavez". I think that's the only SNES game that was completely in Spanish.
"Mega Man X is Mega Man 10" gang rise up! Kind of Capcom's fault on that with them using the roman numerals for the start screen, but that was a fun thing to learn.
One of the shiniest issues of Nintendo Power on my shelf is my collector's edition for MMX, which has a special foil overlay cover that has the NP logo and X himself embossed onto it. It's definitely one of the most 1990s things I own.
So happy the series can continue. (Also title might need updating)
Same on the video game rental story for me, called it MM "ten" as well. I remember walking home from the game rental store (Crazy Mike's Video Rental Store) in a blizzard and just absolutely excited to try this new Mega Man game out. I also remember always drawing the bosses in class, too lol
Can't wait for yet another awesome year!
YOU"RE BACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
Metal Combat was a heck of a game. I played it in the early 2000s, when a roommate who had a copy found my stored Super Scope and wanted me to play it. Apparently the monkey robot has a weak point that, if you hit it with a fully charged shot, will kill him in one hit. It's the 2-4 pixels of his bottom lip, I think. I hit it the first time and my roommate's jaw just dropped.
And I totally had a "Megaman TEN?" moment as well. I thought I missed a few!
Full-blown racing with a gun? Well, there's the Xtreme-G series, but that's... quite some time in the future lmfao
Glad you got monetized again. I love these video game history videos every week and look forward to seeing them.
Mega Man X, what a way to start off the year. I had no idea it even existed until my dad rented it and brought it home. Will always be a fan of the series, even if it does have a certain red-headed step child that no one likes...
X7.
Daily challenges are nice to see new stuff
Oh yeah I played me some Megaman X. One of my favorites growing up.
I remember the first time I played MegaMan X. I went over to my cousin Thomas ‘s house and he bought it. Which was a big deal because we just rented games and only bought games if we knew they were really worth it. I was a huge MegaMan fan so I remember being a little bit apprehensive but after he let me play, I was in love. Remember it like it was yesterday.
By the way, love this new channel Jared. Look forward to it every Friday. It makes me remember some happy childhood stuff. Because I was a big gamer when I was a kid. In the middle kid nobody really noticed how much I played so I got to have a lot of fun with video games as a kid.
✌🏾💙
Happy New Year!
Looking forward to some great videos for 1994!
