Yu-Gi-Oh games branched off into a surprising amount of genres, of course there were the ones that just simulated the card game but it also explored RTS with Falsebound Kingdom, board games with Capsule Monster Coliseum and Destiny Board Traveler, and adventure RPGs with Forbidden Memories, Sacred Cards, and Reshef of Destruction
Going through those games and seeing all the wild takes on the franchise is certainly a trip worth taking
Well it makes sense considering the franchise wasn't originally JUST about card games
@@tvsonicserbia5140it still isn’t, they play other games sometimes
@@RusticRonnie I know, I'm a huge fan but in the school arc every episode was a new game
Sacred Cards was really good, always wish they had done a Duelist Kingdom arc RPG. Reshef was too brutally hard to be fun.
@@NavelOrangeGazer Yea I always thought that was strange that they just skipped right over Duelist Kingdom and did Battle City instead
Dragon Ball Advance adventure is awesome. Very similar to One Piece, but a bit better in my opinion.
That’s honestly my favorite DB related game ever it’s so goated
so is 1 piece
The fact that you can play as literally any character from that game made me play it sooo much
I recently played that game and it was awesome! Having fighting mechanics to some important fights in the series and platform/beat'em up for the rest was so well done. Loved it
Yugioh duelist of the roses is one of my favorite games. As a kid i got pretty good at it as not everyone had access to internet so i couldn't look up the codes. And ended up getting most of the cards able just from playing the game so much. I wish Konami would make spin off yugioh games like this again
This was my shit when I was a kid, but Jesus Christ that intro cinematic was sooooooooo long 😂
It's nice to see Dimps' bottomless pit obsession is not just in sonic games
Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 coming out in 2003 in the US may have been pretty weird, but the DBZ game release situation in the UK might have been even weirder.
Ultimate Battle 22, Final Bout, and Budokai not only all released in the UK in 2002, but back to back. UB22 in September, FB in October, and Budokai in November. This is in addition to both The Legacy of Goku and Legendary Super Warriors also coming out that same year, so 2002 was absolutely stacked for British DBZ fans.
Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist of the Roses was so much fun!! Brings back so many memories. Hope they'll make a remake in the future. Shoot even capsule monsters was fun as well!
I remember one Kids Next Door game for the GBA that I played a lot as a kid, but never beat because there wasn’t a way to really save your progress. Rather, when you beat a level, the game gave you a semi-random code to input next time you turned it on that let you go back to where you stopped. I would always wind up forgetting the code...
that's just how alot of old games used to work in regards to saving your progress , by giving you passwords that were essentially bookmarks.
@@Tannerj50yeah, he literally just needed to like, write the password. I played snes/sega Genesis games and having passwords written on a notebook was a given.
This dude must’ve rode the short bus as a kid lol just write down the code
@@wussup12345 Guys, listen: I will fully admit that I was not the brightest kid on the planet. I honestly couldn't tell you why I never bothered to write the codes down. Pretty sure I even considered it once or twice, but I just didn't. I think part of it was probably just because I didn't mind replaying the first few levels over and over again, but either way, yeah, it was super obvious in hindsight.
Seriously though, did none of you guys ever say or do dumb stuff when you like, 5-6 years old?
@@Rihcterwilker he's probably a younger kid that didn't grew up with 'em and likely had games that came with battery backup saves or had a PSP or Nintendo DS
Wow the fact Dimps made a One Piece game and I didn't know it existed was very interesting to me. Thanks for letting me know about it, gotta check it out.
Cool fact about One Piece GBA: A lot of its sprites and even leitmotifs in the ost were taken from a Japan-exclusive OP game Dimps also did for the Wonderswan Color. It was a one-button fighter heavily centered around the second saga of the story, so in a way the GBA game is like a prequel lol. The OP GBA is also a US-exclusive game in contrast with its predecessor being Japan-exclusive.
U can tell since it uses the 4KIDS dub names. You can even faintly see Sanji has a lolipop in his sprite portrait instead of his normal cigar.
Dudeee, I highly recommend the Super Robot Wars games, they are tactical RPGs that are massive crossovers between several anime series, I specifically reccomend SRW W for Nintendo DS, it's pretty good and the battle animations are beautiful.
For anyone who's played Yugioh: DOTR, please try Capsule Monster Coliseum, it's a different kind of Yugioh game but also vastly improves on some of DOTR's flaws. Plus it really feels like like the anime with it's presentation and even has tons of voice acting.
Duelist of the Roses is one of my favorite games of all time! I still bump the soundtrack over 15 years later.
One I enjoyed back in the day was Shaman King: Master of Spirits, for the GBA. It's a pretty solid action-platform game from Konami
It and it's sequel are solid metroidvanias. Had so much fun on these back in the day. The pokemon esque ones where you collected different spirits were meh but Master of Spirits were solid.
same engine as AoS.
yugioh forbidden memories was my childhood yugioh game honestly so elite brilliant music but had a weird fusion system and it got really hard toward the end
Do I remember right that that game had two story modes? One where you went to the future to participate in a tournament, and one where you stayed in the past which unlocked a whole new 3D overworld map.
Thanks for making this video I was looking for this topic 👐🏿
Let me also add the many Sailor Moon games (I think all are Japan exclusive) that ranged from Street Fighter-esque, Streets of Rage-esque, RPG, and even puzzle (Bust a Move, in particular). (We WILL forget that the DIC dub PC game ever existed).
Amazing vidéo as always
My fav licensed anime games are the Zatchbell and Naruto games for PS2 and Duel Masters for PS2 as well
Zatch Bell Mamodo Battle for the PS2 was a fun fighting game. I played a lot growing up.
Man Duelist of The Roses was my shet back then. I bought it just so I could get Alpha, Beta and Gamma the magnet warrior cards but was pleasantly surprised how much fun the actual game was.
I loved this. More of these!
8:44 I had The Eternal Duelist Soul on the GBA and it let you do this too. I found out those codes are actually on the cards themselves. (I think on the lower left?) It's a nice way to bring your physical cards into the game, even if its just one copy
The DBZ Budokai games are some of the best fighting games I've ever played
Keep this series up somehow!
Hey hey; I loved the video! As a recommendation, how would a video relating to games based on generally obscure media sound, be they different shows, books or toys?
I know there's a ton on that last one, especially Choro-Q (or Gadget Racers (or Penny Racers)). The series is very interesting thanks to translation and localization among other things, but what makes it cooler for me is that almost all of the games are (for the most part) RPGs! While I don't want to say much more for length of this comment, I'm sure you'd love the Choro-Q series if you're interested in racing games or RPGs.
Oh, I never heard of the series. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@kirotalksyt You're welcome; I hope you like it if you check it out! Have a good day.
Surprised you haven't brought up some of the old Traveler's Tales Lego games. Those are PEAK licensed games
Evil knivel on gameboy color had me hook as a kid. 😅 guess you can say it was like trials of that era.
Another thing that helps in duelist of the roses is learning the fusions, you can fuse without using poly. Also you have to start on Kaiba's side, the fight with the heros is far more fair than the fight with the villains
I enjoyed Duelist of the Roses. Remember seeing it at a friends sleepover I knew I had to get it. I don't remember, but I once figured out a fusion for Roaring Ocean Snake and Aqua Dragon. I was having issues with Pegasus's Toon World panels. Non-Toon monsters get a 500 debuff, while toon monsters got a 500 buff. I exploited Roaring Ocean Snake and Aqua Dragon effect which changes panels to Aqua when flipped and when declaring an attack. I have an appreciation for Roaring Ocean Snake and Aqua Dragon I otherwise wouldn't have. Otherwise you can simply input a password for Aqua Dragon nowadays.
I also owned YuGiOh Forbidden Memories. I made it to the final seven duelists, but I ran out of patience for that game as a kid. Fifteen years later I'd beat it since I knew Low Meadow Mage dropped Meteor B. Dragon and basically every good monster card in the game.
Larry boy and the bad apple on ps2 and crazy frog racing were my childhood! It’s crazy to me that crazy frog even had a racing game
Fun fact Dbz Ultimate battle 22 was made for the Amiga in the 80s, but got released for the ps1 for some reason.
I'm still in love with SNES Legend of the Super Saiyan. Just thinking about it puts the battle music in my head. Nothing is like it, even today.
The first Bakugan game. It is a gem 💎.
Leonidas, my beloved.
That Astroboy game for the GBA from Sega was one of my favorite games ever.
treasure, sega was the publisher
Damn they took those Luffy animations and put it directly in Jump Ultimate Stars (DS). I reconigzed that instantly
That thumbnail hit different.
A friend of mine really loved the Dungeon Dice spin-off game from Yu-gi-oh. Have you played it?
I played Duelist of the Roses for over 400 hours, good times.
Duelist of the roses was an obsession for me. That last fight is no joke. I can’t remember if it’s the same for both sides, but he was absolute insanity. I also remember a particularly hard fight against …Yugi’s Grandpa? Maybe I got that mixed up.
Duelist's of the roses was my Jam! Challenging but really addicting and fun.
Howdy Kiro & Gang, fellow licensed game enjoyer here. U should check out the Zatch Bell PlayStation 2 game. It’s a tekken wannabe styled fighting game based on the Zatch Bell anime. Can’t recall too much about its overall gameplay however I do recall my child brain enjoying the dopamine given!
Still waiting for that Parappa video… 😞 Loving your content, Kiro!
Yeah, it is about time I did that, huh? Sorry for wait 😅 I'll try and get a hold of an Um Jammer Lammy copy so I can work on that!
6:40 baby faced Team APS, wow!
1:22 haha that is precious lol
One piece, dragon Ball advanced adventure and buu's fury are absolute must plays.
Duelist of the roses will forever remain one of my favorite games of all time
The Digimon Battle Spirit games are pretty rad. A video on those would be legit.
Your voice sounds really really familiar
Also great video!!!
As a kid i only wanted to play games of anime i watch on tv, i did not want to play games like mario, sonic, kerby. Playing as an adult i can't believe some of the games are so bad but some are still great games
Duelists of the roses has a god tier soundtrack
Duelist Of The Rosesn is literal *chef's kiss* Yu-Gi-Oh! perfection.
You should check the PS2 Naruto games, especially the Ultimate Ninja games (3 and 5 are the best). They are very underrated in USA because Clash of Ninja for the GCN and Wii were more popular, but UN were very popular here in Brazil. They are the predecessor to the STORM games, carrying much of the same presentation style and gameplay mechanics, on top of having a ton of unlockable extra content.
UN3 is the best of the Classic era of Naruto, refining all aspects of gameplay and having a fully voiced story mode that goes over the entire first half of Naruto manga. UN5 has all the characters and content from UN5 + stuff from Shippuden up until the second story arc.
Also, check out the Fullmetal Alchemist game for the PS2. It is an adventure game/beat'em up with fully voiced animated cutscenes and original story.
You really should make a video on the 14th talking about the letter M in games, imo, I’d think it’d actually be a cool video.
If another Anime licensed game is in the works, may I suggest Rave Master on GBA. A very slept on party fighter IMO.
Yuyu hakusho tournament tactics on the gba was one I had alot of fun with, no idea how it holds up now though
My buddies and I had a blast with DBZ Ultimate Battle 22!
I forgot what the game was called but there was a really good YuGiOh game on the Gameboy Advance that played like the card game, there was also some GBA YugiOh games that weren't as good.
i loved the yugioh rose game so much if they remastered it and made it capable of playing against others online, i would totally play this right now
So when it comes to "2000's anime licensed games" that aren't the obvious DBZ or Naruto or etc, the one that comes to my mind that isn't talked about enough, Is the "Bakugan Battle Brawlers" released in 2009 for the ps3/ps2/Xbox 360/Wii and DS. To make it clear, the specific game I'm talking about is called "Bakugan battle brawlers," I'm not talking about its sequel "Defender's of the core" because that is a completely different game.
Now I'm not sure if it makes the cut, but "Bakugan Battle Brawlers" (BBB for short) uses the anime world as its setting characters and all, and was technically released in the 2000's, So I feel it technically counts. It's a really cool game especially if you grew up with Bakugan or played Bakugan Gen 1 as a kid, it follows the Japanese ruleset and gameplay of the physical legacy game for the most part, with some minigame's during battle to make it more "Game-y" I guess.
Another Licensed games are Spider-man 2 and ultimate Spider-man for the PS2/xboxOG/Gamecube, but those are already talked about to death, then a third is Shrek 2.
Lol I had way more fun than I probably should have as a kid on dbz ultimate battle 22 I also still wish I would see a level up system kinda like it where the more you used a move the stronger it would get even you basic punches
Yugioh falsebound kingdom is a fun traditional JRPG take of the franchise. Even having a Joey route.
Gum gum fruit
Me in TFS nail voice: ahhh that sounds dirty
I feel like your issue with ultimate battle 22’s graphics have more to do w/ watching it on a modern tv instead of a crt tv.
Forgot to mention the Dot Hack games. Very fun games.
I RECOGNIZE THAT LUFFY SPRITE, its the exact same one used for Shonen Jump Ultimate on DS
Yugioh Forbidden Memories on ps1 was a nightmare.
The only one I played was Dragonball Z the legacy of goku 2 and it was peak
I grew up with that game and Buu's Fury. They were really cool Action RPGs!
Ultimate battle 22 title feels like a yearly released game series, like fifa.
Don't know if you ever plan on making videos focusing on western made and anime based licensed games from the 90s. If you ever do, then I'd take a look at Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie, Area 88 (you'll recognize it in the US as UN Squadron for the SNES), Gundam Side Story: The Blue Destiny Part 2 and 3, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (PlayStation), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Arcade/PlayStation/Dreamcast), Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn), Dragon Ball: Super Butoden 2, Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension, Dragon Ball Z: The Legend...
Sailor Moon S: Jogai Ranto?! Shuyaku Sodatsusen (the still active competitive tournaments for this game are really important to pay attention to in this case), Sailor Moon: Another Story (go with the 2020 fan English patch), Yu Yu Hakusho: Makyo Toitsusen, and Yu Yu Hakusho 2: Kakuto no Sho.
As for western styled 90s licensed video games; there's the SNES version of Turtles in Time, TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist, TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project (NES), Goldeneye 007 (even if the AI isn't that great by today's standards and the controls are archaic), Gran Turismo 2 (if you count games that feature real car models), Daytona USA (ditto; Arcade/XBox 360/PS3), Daytona USA 2: Power Edition, Virtua Racing (Arcade/Switch; the game's based on Formula One), Virtua Racing Deluxe (32X)...
The Animaniacs SNES, Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Arcade), Top Gun: The Second Mission (NES), New Ghostbusters 2 (NES), Ghostbusters (Sega Genesis), Jurassic Park (SNES), Lost World: Jurassic Park (Sega Genesis), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (arcade), Die Hard Arcade (got reworked as Dynamite Dekka in Japan and has a sequel called Dynamite Cop), Mickey Mouse: Castle of Illusion, Mickey Mouse: World of Illusion...
The Adventures of Batman and Robin (SNES), Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (Arcade and Sega Genesis), Alien vs Predator (Arcade), Alien Trilogy, Disney's Aladdin (Sega Genesis), The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates (SNES; got retooled as Yokai Buster: Ruka no Daiboken in Japan...which seems to be the better version), Dune 2, Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, X-Men vs Street Fighter, X-Men (1992 Arcade), X-Men: Children of the Atom (Arcade/Saturn), Biker Mice from Mars (SNES), and Goof Troop (SNES).
There are some good ones but some are completely awful. Dragonball advance adventure was really fun and the legacy of goku games and on the DS dragon ball origins. There were also a bunch of fun yu gi oh games I used to get the world championship games for the DS every year the story mode was pretty cool back then. Licensed games are always interesting to me great video man
I never know that until this time at the creator of the company Dimps who is the creator of the first Street Fighter and fatal Fury
its funny bc i just dl and played this game yesterday on a gba emulator, crazy coincidence
WOOT WOOT
Yu Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective and Yu Yu Hakusho: Tournament Tactics, both on the GBA. That was my favorite shounen series, and the games were unique... also, Konami's Shaman King Master of Spirits and 2 were my go-to GBA titles ( because I sucked at Castlevania ). Shaman King Sprinting Wolf / Soaring Hawk for GBA and Shaman King Power of Spirit for PS2 were a pretty mixed bag. If you can handle level grinding and annoying battles, Inuyasha: Secret of the Divine Jewel for DS is also an option. I think I also had a copy of Rave Master for GBA. I have no clue where I got it and barely played the thing. Anime handheld games were numerous and... unique, to say the least. Often overlooked. I'm pretty sure that other than Rave Master most of these titles were specifically made for the American market. In other words, there is no Japanese release for them, interesting! Especially since so many videos are like 'this is a Japanese exclusive anime game', but you could be like,'This is an American exclusive anime game', right? Though I wouldn't recommend Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament for PS2, it took me forever just to adjust to the controls, though you might be fine, as I tend to just play like crap and yes, I do enjoy researching random video games no one seems to care about as part of my video game hobby.
Yyh is my fave anime but man was I pissed when I played dark tournament on ps2. That game was ass lmao makintaro was so trash you couldn't win with him
@@bEtHeSdA_LAME_sTuDi0s and what's worst is that there was a another yuyu hakusho fighting game on the PS2 exclusive to Japan and was much MUCH better than dark tournament.
the shaman king games are dope
One of the licensed games that I remember liking the nore as a child was Crayon Shin-Chan: Arashi o Yobu Cinema-Land: Kachinko Gachinko Daikatsugeki! (or "Shin-Chan: Aventuras de Cine", as I knew it), for the Nintendo DS. It was a pretty nice platformer in which each stage was the story of one of the many, many Shin-Chan movies. And there were different suits which gave you could powers, and you could invoke the members of the Nohara family to do special moves, and there were cool bosses... I remember liking it a lot, and I didn't even like Shin-Chan that much.
I played the shit out of duel or the roses so much that I came out with a scheme to kill all kaiba’s blue eyes, reborn them, summon black luster soldier, and fuse them together. It took a loooong Time but it was soooo worth it
Also didn’t know there were so many codes. The only good monster I ever got from the codes was a barrel dragon but that thing carried me!
Anyone remember the Fullmetal Alchemist games on PS2?
No mention astro boy the omega factor ?
1:24 is that a hisoka reference LOL
Duel of roses is dope as hell
I don’t have any except those pc games that got around the school wifi stuff beat a dragonball flash game I think
2:19 i feel like this is the closest we will get to a modern day Ristar game
Yu Gi Oh Forbidden Memories
Amazing hisoka reference
I loooooveeeee duellist of the roses
Bro I had that Yugioh game and it completely disappeared from my mind and forgot it even existed
Full metal alchemist, yu yu hakusho dark tournament, samurai champloo sidetracked, orphen scion of sorcery, naruto ultimate ninja 1-5, inuyasha feudal combat, persona 3, ghost in the shell stand alone complex
i actually loved Ultimate Battle 22 lol
The YGO videogame with the actual rules of the tcg came out only for Xbox xd
cool
I still got duelist of the roses on my ps2. I be trying to play it , I still cannot beat the 3rd battle 🤣🤣 that game is fun and challenging . If I really sat down and played I’d prolly beat it . Me and my best friend used to play yugioh like that in real life. Made our own custom board and everything. Of course changed the rules a lil bit to work in real life but still duelist of the roses is a game any yugioh fan should check out at least once on their life time imo
BeyBlade V-Force was a pretty cool game on the GBA, where the gameplay solely consisted of you guiding your top through various mazes before you ran out of spin, and I believe once in a while you had to fight a boss. BeyBlade was the SHIT in the early 2000s, fight me!
ayy you should do the .hack games!!
DotR is so good, I go back and replay it every year
Dude, the old harry potter games were kinda neat, but for every console it was a completely different game. I had a lot of fun with the second one on pc
Scarface and The Godfather were some of the peak Licensed games.
You should look at shaman king master of spirits it's basically aria of sorrow but shaman king lol
Sure, I'll give it a look .
There was a Gameboy Colour game called Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors.
That was the shit.
A couple of licenses games that i do have and remember (outside of the DBZ Budokai and Tekenshi series) are:
Dragon Ball Advance Adventure, One Piece Grande Adventure, One Piece Gigante Battle, One Piece Unlimited Cruise 2, Bakugan Battle Brawlers DS, Bakugan Defender of the core on the Wii, Spongebob Battle For Bikini Bottom, the Spongebob and friends series (mainly Volcano island on DS and the other 2 on PS2), Spongebob Plankton's robot revenge on DS, Yu-Gi-Oh capsule monster coliseum, Yu-Gi-Oh the sacred card, DBZ Goku Densetsu, DBZ Goku's destiny (or something like that) and my MOST hated game Adventure Time explore the dungeon because I don't know (seriously i love Adventure Time but I HATE this game)
SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom and Lights, camera, pants for GBA. Both of these games were my childhood and I lost Battle
