    I just rage quit from playing a godawful modern FPS when the algorithm gifted me this video. The crisp colors, the optimism of the time period shining through and the highly distilled gameplay really perked me up. The editorial choices and commentary are top notch to the point where something unheard of happened. I actually want to download every game selected for the video. Well the fighting games I would save for when there's a couch with a buddy lined up but really this recommended games list hit it out of the park.

      That is from Umihara Kawase Shun. Unfortunately the name of the song escapes me now, but it's all on Archive dot org and it's player if you want to find it! It's absolutely lovely and I knew i had to use it as the closing theme

    Almost all the PS1 games I have the best memories of used predominantly 2d graphics.. Symphony of the Night, Suikoden, Darkstalkers. Early 3d graphics are uglyyyy!

    • @SandNoodle
      @SandNoodle Год назад

      There's such a different charm between the amazing (relatively) high-fidelity pixel art and the almost crude, jagged 3D art of the PS1/Saturn if you ask me. I love both equally for wildly different reasons, but I felt the need to share the underappreciated 2D art that rarely made it out of japan here :)

    • @MicBain
      @MicBain Год назад

      @SandNoodle the only 3d stuff I really appreciate from that era was minimalist type stuff like in the Tobal series. Other stuff is nostalgic to me, but still ugly haha

    Adventures of Little Ralph was pretty great. A real pity they didn't release it in the west. I enjoyed a lot of those "next gen" 2D games. With their fancy new features like real transparency, more animation frames, (better) zooming, scaling, etc.

    And in the end, 2D held up visually while the 3D showed it's age and generally does (less so these days). The tech innovation was the short-term goal for the industry, not necessarily wanting things to hold up for posterity as time went on.

  • @ViperAcidZX
    @ViperAcidZX Год назад

    Thank you for showcasing such overlooked import titles that sadly never made it outside of Japan. As someone who has been an avid fan of Asuka 120%, it does have a spiritual successor in the form of Phantom Breaker, which started off a Japanese-exclusive game on the Xbox 360 in 2011 that almost got released overseas by 7SixtyGames, a subsidiary of South Peak Interactive, but after constant delays, "production problems", 7SixtyGames going on a rant on Facebook blaming the retail market and fans for not showing enough support (which people were wanting to see it come overseas), and finally lawsuits being filed against the parent company, 7SixtyGames was done for and the English release of Phantom Breaker never came to pass outside of a few prototypes being featured at anime conventions around 2012. It later got an updated version called Phantom Breaker: Extra for PlayStation 3 and in region-free form for the Xbox 360, albeit without any translations. An English version of Phantom Breaker would finally happen in 2022 with the release of Phantom Breaker: Omnia, which is currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam, and if you enjoyed Asuka 120%'s gameplay you'll feel right at home with Phantom Breaker since it shares many of its mechanics and development staff who worked on the former. It sadly gets a lot of crap from elitist fighting game players because of the "no rollback, bad game" mentality they have and the game launched with some glaring bugs although many of the problems has been addressed while refining the game's balance with post-launch patches. Apart from the questionable localization by Rocket Panda Games and missed opportunity to expand the story to a visual novel-styled adventure that the devs originally planned, the game itself is pretty fun and doesn't get enough love if you ask me.

    • @SandNoodle
      @SandNoodle Год назад

      Very cool! The game came up in my research but I neglected to include it due to brevity and lack of some English-language sources. I didn't see that a new version came out though for whatever reason but I'll definitely be grabbing it at some point, it looks great!
