The rights are very confusing. Discotek media might be the owners of SPC.
I have been obsessed with No More Heroes ever since I first played it back in 2010 and have never heard of someone see it in such a light and take it to heart like that. The best kinds of games to me are the ones you can still find new things out about years later even after dissecting the hell out of it, leave you thinking about it and still come back to it time and time again. A real classic. Great vid as usual
I did watch several other NMH analysis vids and found it funny each one had different interpretations. Somehow I found the game more optimistic but also acknowledging every dream job will devolve into a regular one.
@@RebelTaxi SPOILER: I have to disagree that being an assassin was Travis' dream because he only became one to impress Silvia, some random chick at a bar who heard Travis' drunken ramblings who then turns out made a fake assassin organization to con everyone out of their money. Still, Travis is just some bored nerd burnout who wanted to feel something. Which is why he's willing to go on a killing spree and to get laid in the process. Travis running around a quiet town doing random odd jobs so he can participate in organized killings shows how bleak and dark the first NMH really was. But of course, everyone has their own perspective of the game.
@@Max25670 True. Tho I hope I didn't say it was really his dream, but more of an escapism fantasy that feeds into his narcissism. It's more interesting to him than what he was doing prior and it'll get him laid until he realizes how crappy this job is.
@@RebelTaxi have you tried 2 and TSB yet? They get even wierder/sadder with where Travis' life is going in the following years and with 3 releasing soon we may see the last chapter of his story
This probably won’t mean anything coming from a rando online, but I genuinely hope your animatic is successful. I’ve been subscribed to you for about a decade. You were my introduction into the animation community; I’ve unsubscribed from a lot of animation channels over the years, but yours has consistently made me smile, laugh, or think deeper on any subject. Even your old videos make me nostalgic for my own old art; it’s crazy how much you’ve improved! I don’t know how to end this, but I’m really proud of you, Pan; don’t ever stop working hard to achieve your dreams.
@@trite6437 While it was awkward, I wouldn't go out and say "he fucked up" as Gendy and Lalzo offer some feedback and said they liked some parts / though some parts were funny lol
If they had a sequel, I hope they can add Heaven Wars Shurato, Mirai Keisatsu Urashiman, Zillion, Judo Boy, Ping Pong, Macross, and definitely SKET Dance
The Wii was the only gaming console my family played together as a family. We had lots of fun family game nights. Once we got the Xbox 360, we all couldn't stand being around each other.
I wish you the best of luck on your animatic! I’ve been following you since middle school, just graduated high school and am off to study art. I find it poetic that someone so influential in my style of art and humor is taking a big step in life while I’m doing the same. :)
The NMH bit started getting emotional, it's really interesting to see what other people think of the NMH games because it's one of those games where it's not supposed to make sense so that it gives the player the freedom to interpret the games, it's good to see how others think, and the NMH games kind of bring out deep thoughts that many otherwise wouldn't ever discuss
Still insane to think that the Wii was such a household name that Nintendo felt naming their next console as successor console “Wii U” would’ve bitten them as hard as it did. It’s insane how many people thought the Wii U was just an expanded Wii when it launched
The marketing team for that reveal should be ashamed But as they say "fucking it up is how you learn" and they nailed it with the Switch's marketing that it is now on route to be the next Wii
My fuckin favourite game when I was a wee lad. Was over the moon for it even before the game came out. I was 10 years old. I'm now 24 and have a tattoo of the bad guy from it on my leg. Zero regrets lol
@@nerdatello The fricken sequel is my favorite game to ever exist, I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT DE BLOB. WHICH IS WHY I AGREE WITH YOU, MORE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT DE BLOB YES.
THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE DE BLOB LOVE! Glad more people are becoming nostalgic and sharing them with others, I listen to the soundtrack of both games pretty much every single day, revisit them all the time, and made one of my own videos specifically to try to bring more attention to it. Here's hoping we get more someday!
18:31 Yup, I was the one who gave Pan this dumb little game back at Momocon 2019 , which i mainly did cause I just didn't really want it (this will be the third time a RUclipsr talks about a game I've donate , the other ones being Somecallmejohnny with Enter the Matrix , and Caddicarus with the more infamous GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE ON PS2).(Also I can't wait for loki irl animatic)
I'm glad to see you being open about your experiences and how you were feeling emotionally, I am always thankful to see new content from you whenever I can, but I really look forward to seeing the full or whatever snippet we can see of your Indie Animatic Pilot, I'm glad to have been a fan and watcher of your vids for many years. Looking forward to what you will create and I'm wishing the best for you and your ambitions
I quite literally have been watching pan since elementary school It’s so crazy that I graduated last year and i’ve pretty much grown up alongside him for so long.
A bit of trivia: Japan also got the updated version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom. The (Japan exclusive) vanilla version was called “Cross Generation of Heroes”. The second version (released worldwide) was called “Ultimate All Stars”. The TvC equivalent of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom. Speed Racer wasn’t added due to heavy licensing disputes going on with the series around that time. Speed Racer: The Next Generation on Nicktoons plays a big part.
The Wii is my most nostalgic console ever. Having said that, if there's a multi platform game from the Wii era, I would pick the Xbox 360 version since I'm not dealing with motion controls.
Thank you SO MUCH for covering Elebits! That game is so underrated and barely anyone knows about its existence! Maybe having it in a Pan video would help bring more attention to it, like what Nitro Rad did with Frogger: Helmet Chaos! :D
These video game videos have been really good! I hope you're enjoying making them, because I'd like to see more. Tatsunoko vs Capcom got me into a lot of older anime when I was younger, including the infamous "SPACE LANCE!" video. Looking forward to the next video!
This video really made me emotional, I really wish I got to play No More Heroes when it came out, but the vibe hit me hard so much Thank you so much for this -mini review compilation- video, this video felt so passionate from beginning to end
Wii the ultimate representation of Yang and Yang of video games. Half of the games were brilliantly made and fondly remembered till this day and the other half is rushed shovel ware and licensed games that people make fun of
Having a 50% quality game status is actually pretty damn good for a popular console! Most top-sellers like PS2 or 360 have around 30-35%. Shovelware has always outnumbered the competition.
NMH is one of my series of all time, I was even playing Travis Strikes Again watching you talk about Travis's over story within the series itself and it's interesting seeing the story that way learning about how Travis's struggles paralleled Suda's. Art is interesting, and I'm glad that you were able to take something away from the game like that since for the most part Travis doesn't like what he does either it was just a necessary evil.
I never see anyone talk about Bravo Air Race. it's pretty short with only 4 tracks but the physics, graphics and especially the acid techno soundtrack are really good.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars was actually released in japan as well, with all the extra features but also removed that genie character. So there are 2 versions of the game in japan, the original and the ultimate version.
That one Rugrats clip actually makes a haiku. EDIT: Alright I forgot to write it out to prove it so here it is. "Mommy, how do you Make green?" "Blue and yellow, hon- -ey." "Thank you, mommy."
The one thing I TRULY missed from the JP Tatsuno version was the characters had their own main themes whenever they came into battle, it was a bit more hype than the generic tracks the US got, but they're still good tho.
DeBlob's concept reminds me of that one joke relating to the black and white area in duckman where cornfed comments as he and duckman turn black and white: "It appears they don't want people of color here."
@@SilverShion Granted I did pay like $5-10 for my copy from Gamestop several years ago, but it's still not THAT pricey, at least nowhere as much as I would fear (see: Pandora's Tower). It's still worth it I'd say
I remember being in a type 1 diabetic coma the Christmas this came out, and I had asked for a wii and had got one in the hospital. Too bad it got stolen quickly by grandparents
Man, i still remember when i played deBlob as a kid. Was the first game i ever completed and thanks to it, color mixing is now ingraved into my brain. Thanks for reminding me to play it again.
The first two minutes reminded me just how much I love Pan's content. Funny, informative, stylish, great editing, I've been a fan for ten years and always will be. Keep up the great work!
33:57 - Yes Travis, I will do it with you. As long as H03$ aren't around. lol For real, this franchise deserves more love and good timing since NMH3 is coming up. I also recommend Killer7, if you are strange and unusual as me and are super curious in games.
40:36 I love these bumpers that you make. You could make nothing but these types of segments for your channel and I would be all over it. The editing is unique, the sound design is on point, and the sense of rhythm that you achieve is amazing. Keep up the good work, Pan, and I hope to see the Loki IRL animatic soon. P.S. I love the comic and hope to see how you expand the rules of that universe in the future.
Anytime I see No More Heroes get some much deserved love and attention it brings me so much joy! It's a fantastic series that needs more recognition. And your personal project sounds cool! I'll be keeping an eye out for it and voice acting!
I can't wait to replay it on Switch. I'm waiting for the Limited Run copies I ordered to come in, which I hope is soon so I can play both before the 3rd one comes out.
Manhunt 2. The Wii port was the best for having the motion controls mimic the brutal kills, making it feel like you're actually killing the person. Also, it's the easiest port to unblur the kills.
That was an amazing video I'm so glad somebody talked about Elebits it's one of my favorite games on the Wii and barely anybody talks about it. I really enjoyed you No More Heroes bit and I want you to have the best of luck on the animatic. Also since your covering the Xbox 360 I recommend Viva Piñata Trouble in Paradise and Kameo.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE ANIMATIC PAN!!!! I'm very excited for you. I've been following you for a long time and i'm happy to see you finally doing what you love.
Best of luck on the animatic, Pan! You're a talented lad with a ton of inspiring influences and ways of showing yourself off, rooting for ya while your pen swipes away. In other news, I can confirm No More Heroes is quite a wild ride. In spite of its faults, there's nothing else like it on the planet, and you can se the series and director grow and mature through the installments as well. Or maybe that's me being crazy and overanalytical, hehe. Either way, wish you nothing but the best.
Another banger video. I remember picking up Tatsunoko vs Capcom over Smash Bros as a kid because it was $10 cheaper and semi regret it but kinda appreciate exposing myself to these weird characters that'd I draw in my sketchbook.
THANK YOU for addressing how Frank West yells "Dead Rising" in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom! I always found that to be so stupid but nobody ever agreed with me. It's like Fat Princess yelling "FAAAT PRINCEEES" in PlayStation All-Stars.
Saw the video cover and hot excited. I loved the hell out of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom! From the music to the aesthetic and characters, this game was dream for my creative head! I'm still frustrated I can't find any of my old games because I always kept them in case. You don't know how badly I'd kill for a full fledged sequel to this game so badly 😭
I'd say equally important titles are Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Sonic Colors, Rayman Origins, Megaman 9, and Wario Land: Shake It! Each of these games reinvigorated new life into their respective series all while earning critical praise and delivering a ton of fun. Especially compared to some of the previous slumps that characters like Sonic went through, a all-star game on the Wii looked like heaven.
Forgot to mention, but if you're still collecting for 360 titles (Download or just retail?), a quick aside to Beat'n Groovy could make for some content for a Worst rhythm release aside from Rock Revolution. BnG is a rhythm game with only 9 songs, 1/3rd of which you can play for free. Plus the artstyle is radically different from the series it's based on: pop'n music.
One thing that could have been mentioned regarding No More Heroes was the fact that it was originally censored in Europe. All blood and gore was either replaced with a cloud of black particles or just not shown.
I wonder if the Wii would have done well if it was at least as powerful as the Xbox 360 and had DVD playback. Maybe if they made a separate model that played GameCube too for the Hardcore audience.
Homebrew Modders were able to use the Wii as a DVD Player so it made sense for Nintendo to support DVDs though I kinda understand what they meant about the licensing problems.
30:51 “Someday, I’d like to softmod my Wii to try it” You don’t even have to do that anymore, Pan. All you have to do now is connect to a custom DNS and you’re set. Though the unofficial servers do have this dumb restriction where you can’t actually play online for seven days after connecting for the first time (to prevent cheating, I guess).
My top 7* Wii games, in no particular order: - Wii Sports Resort - Super Smash Bros Brawl - World of Goo - Endless Ocean 2: Blue World - Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars - Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes - Mario Kart Wii - Wii Music *Nine

DeBlob's concept reminds me of that one joke relating to the black and white area in duckman where cornfed comments as he and duckman turn black and white: "It appears they don't want people of color here."
Everyone go play Sin and Punishment Star Successor, that game is brilliant and criminally underrated
and so expensive online .....
@@SilverShion Granted I did pay like $5-10 for my copy from Gamestop several years ago, but it's still not THAT pricey, at least nowhere as much as I would fear (see: Pandora's Tower). It's still worth it I'd say
Bought it for $5 at GameStop 4 years ago, freakin love it
I wish we got Sin & Punishment 3 so bad
Innocent sin and eternal punishment
I remember being in a type 1 diabetic coma the Christmas this came out, and I had asked for a wii and had got one in the hospital. Too bad it got stolen quickly by grandparents
Oh I remember that the 2007 epidemic of Hospital wii stealing grandmas.
@@ringer1324 no she stole from the house while i was in the hospital :/
I remember getting a red WII and Super Mario Galaxy for Christmas one year.
Man, i still remember when i played deBlob as a kid. Was the first game i ever completed and thanks to it, color mixing is now ingraved into my brain.
Thanks for reminding me to play it again.
I recall my dad didn't want me to have a wii because he'd heard that someone had inhaled the controller playing wii music which... how?
Sorry that was me, nunchuk got me acting up so i deep throated it.
Welp, enough internet for today.
I’m sorry your dad thought his child was that stupid for some reason
That's obviously one of those "I'll just tell a lie so I don't have to buy my kid something" moments
I think he just didn’t want to buy you one
I remember playing tatsunoko vs Capcom in a friend's house at one point. Such a good game.
"Wii would like to play"
- Jehovah Wii-tness
The first two minutes reminded me just how much I love Pan's content. Funny, informative, stylish, great editing, I've been a fan for ten years and always will be. Keep up the great work!
I am so glad you called attention to Frank yelling "Dead rising!" in crossovers for some reason, that always bugs me.
I'm glad you covered Elebits.
Such an underrated classic on the wii.
33:57 - Yes Travis, I will do it with you. As long as H03$ aren't around. lol
For real, this franchise deserves more love and good timing since NMH3 is coming up. I also recommend Killer7, if you are strange and unusual as me and are super curious in games.
40:36 I love these bumpers that you make. You could make nothing but these types of segments for your channel and I would be all over it. The editing is unique, the sound design is on point, and the sense of rhythm that you achieve is amazing. Keep up the good work, Pan, and I hope to see the Loki IRL animatic soon.
P.S. I love the comic and hope to see how you expand the rules of that universe in the future.
The Nintendo Wii, easily the best 7th generation console!
Easily, very easily!
Eh
It had the best exclusives, but that gen had a lot of great multiplats that it missed out on.
eeh is ok console but sure he has really good game.
idk very subjective imo. My personal favourite was PS3 but Wii also had some solid games
Anytime I see No More Heroes get some much deserved love and attention it brings me so much joy! It's a fantastic series that needs more recognition.
And your personal project sounds cool! I'll be keeping an eye out for it and voice acting!
I actually completed no more heroes a week ago, so im happy. I played on switch btw.
I can't wait to replay it on Switch. I'm waiting for the Limited Run copies I ordered to come in, which I hope is soon so I can play both before the 3rd one comes out.
Manhunt 2. The Wii port was the best for having the motion controls mimic the brutal kills, making it feel like you're actually killing the person. Also, it's the easiest port to unblur the kills.
@@josepheropkin1849 I mean yeah, fantastic game to relieve stress. You ever used a handsaw to cut into someone's shoulder?
Disaster Day of Crisis deserved an Honorable mention
Unfortunately, this game never got an official US release. There's a video from Matt McMuscles that explains why.
hope Gloria's ok
Boom Blocks (which was basically just a 3d version of angry birds) was a game i use to play all the time on the wii , anyone else?
I did! What a game. I haven't heard anyone at all talk about it in... well, ever.
I do
I rented it almost every friday from the local video store (when I wasn't renting a lego game or Meet The Robinson's for the 800th time)
That sounds vaguely familiar, like when you get deja vu about something you're not sure actually existed.
That one was kind of a big deal when it came out, Steven Spielberg was involved.
That was an amazing video I'm so glad somebody talked about Elebits it's one of my favorite games on the Wii and barely anybody talks about it. I really enjoyed you No More Heroes bit and I want you to have the best of luck on the animatic. Also since your covering the Xbox 360 I recommend Viva Piñata Trouble in Paradise and Kameo.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE ANIMATIC PAN!!!! I'm very excited for you. I've been following you for a long time and i'm happy to see you finally doing what you love.
Im super excited for your animatic, I have been following loki irl's development for years and its a great concept
Best of luck on the animatic, Pan! You're a talented lad with a ton of inspiring influences and ways of showing yourself off, rooting for ya while your pen swipes away.
In other news, I can confirm No More Heroes is quite a wild ride. In spite of its faults, there's nothing else like it on the planet, and you can se the series and director grow and mature through the installments as well. Or maybe that's me being crazy and overanalytical, hehe.
Either way, wish you nothing but the best.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that knew about Tatsunoko VS Capcom
No more heroes is extremely underrated smh
It still got 3 sequels and a mii costume in Smash Bros, but with that being said, it's still kinda of a cult classic series.
It sold well enough
I had a huge dopey grin on my face when you started talking about Tatsunoko vs Capcom.
Hugely underrated fighter I've gotten into recently.
10:53 Imagine having Matt himself train you.
3:09 "Way to radicalize"
Pan i fucking love you. i never laghed harder
So happy they're bringing back the town for No More Heroes 3
Another banger video. I remember picking up Tatsunoko vs Capcom over Smash Bros as a kid because it was $10 cheaper and semi regret it but kinda appreciate exposing myself to these weird characters that'd I draw in my sketchbook.
You’re one of the only “gaming” RUclipsrs I still watch, consistently great. Keep it up Pan.
Do you watch Woolieversus? He's pretty damn good.
THANK YOU for addressing how Frank West yells "Dead Rising" in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom! I always found that to be so stupid but nobody ever agreed with me. It's like Fat Princess yelling "FAAAT PRINCEEES" in PlayStation All-Stars.
Kickass no more heroes montage at the end
Nice vid! That no more heroes segment was hitting hard I didn't expect that. Hope you finish that animatic your working on, it looks good so far.
Man I forgot how good elebits was. Now that’s a HD remaster we need.
Saw the video cover and hot excited. I loved the hell out of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom! From the music to the aesthetic and characters, this game was dream for my creative head! I'm still frustrated I can't find any of my old games because I always kept them in case.
You don't know how badly I'd kill for a full fledged sequel to this game so badly 😭
Finally someone else who also loves Moonview Highway
Seeing Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom talked about in this video has made my heart so happy. I still adore the game to this day. Easily my favorite fighter.
"A fully functional *Beam Katana* off eBay."
That NMH video at the end was beautiful. Thank you
That Elebits art seems familiar, and what a surprise, it's made by Akihito Tsukushi, author of Made in Abyss.
Sad I had to scroll so far down to find this comment.
I know this is 2 years old, but it's currently 2023 and I'm just NOW learning that De Blob 1 & 2 are on Switch
I'd say equally important titles are Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Sonic Colors, Rayman Origins, Megaman 9, and Wario Land: Shake It! Each of these games reinvigorated new life into their respective series all while earning critical praise and delivering a ton of fun. Especially compared to some of the previous slumps that characters like Sonic went through, a all-star game on the Wii looked like heaven.
Forgot to mention, but if you're still collecting for 360 titles (Download or just retail?), a quick aside to Beat'n Groovy could make for some content for a Worst rhythm release aside from Rock Revolution. BnG is a rhythm game with only 9 songs, 1/3rd of which you can play for free. Plus the artstyle is radically different from the series it's based on: pop'n music.
When the world really needed him.... seriously!
One thing that could have been mentioned regarding No More Heroes was the fact that it was originally censored in Europe. All blood and gore was either replaced with a cloud of black particles or just not shown.
It's so weird to see you do sponsorships. I remember years ago watching you rip open a loot crate violently.
"Fossile Fuels", is now my favorite quote from this channel
I wonder if the Wii would have done well if it was at least as powerful as the Xbox 360 and had DVD playback.
Maybe if they made a separate model that played GameCube too for the Hardcore audience.
I cant tell if you're fucking around or not lol
@@Fwoup
It's Nintendo, so most likely he's not.
Homebrew Modders were able to use the Wii as a DVD Player so it made sense for Nintendo to support DVDs though I kinda understand what they meant about the licensing problems.
@@thatonea-hole the Wii is literally one of the best selling consoles ever. I dont get his statement
30:51 “Someday, I’d like to softmod my Wii to try it”
You don’t even have to do that anymore, Pan. All you have to do now is connect to a custom DNS and you’re set.
Though the unofficial servers do have this dumb restriction where you can’t actually play online for seven days after connecting for the first time (to prevent cheating, I guess).
How did Movie Games save Nintendo?
It saved me this spliff for a rainy day. Wooop woooop
