I love that it says CRIME! CRIME! on the physical disc...and I also love you Jay Hunter, but thats no crime...or is it in Ireland? Id do 5-10 for you...and maybe 30 days for V1.
This year @ Thanksgiving I was carving the Turkey & yelled "Cut the Foodz!" Everyone at the table looked at me real funny. Jokes on them, cuz they didn't get it. One person chuckled tho, they got it.
With the Coronavirus infection going around, lots of grocery stores have introduced rationing to try to help with panic buyers grabbing all the stuff. A lot of the foods have been cut...
What if I only acquired 6 pop figures? I wanted the addams family - the old version. Thought they looked cool. Ain't buying anymore. Got what I wanted. So does that make me only minorly offensive?
And since you commented, I heard recently that they aren't selling well anymore and the company is going to bury a bunch in a landfill like Atari did with their E.T. and other unsold game cartridges.
In Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2), which was also only released in Japan, one of the main characters, Judas, keeps saying something similar to, "Let's go cooking!" and ,"Are you done cooking?"
I was super confused at first but actually DOES say "KASOKU SOUCHI". In Japanese, it's common for some vowels like u or i to be inflected quickly or just be left out and implied in the word depending on the speaker.
I know you hear this all the time, but thanks for continuing the quality uploads. It’s my favorite way to pass time. I can’t count the amount of games I’ve added to my collection, strictly based on the reviews I’ve seen on this channel. Many thanks!!!!
Fact: The bug-eyed girl that you mention is Helena. She's an original in-game character. She was from outer space and has two sisters! (According to the Cyborg 009 Fandom)
He did sound familiar. His booth was right next to Game Sack's at one convention and he played the tamborine or flute or something pretty much all day long.
This is the best Game Sack episode of all time! I love the technical insights and honest opinion of these games. I always learn something new. Keep up the great work.
I wonder why Mark didn't even try to make a video to explain to all his fans of CGR..... Guess he will never complete his mission to review everything :(
11:21 *D o r k* Lest my keyboard gets cold I guess I'd say something a bit more constructive. As a Japanese person I greatly appreciate Joe neither fakes and/or flexes his ability to pronounce Japanese words nor does he downright make fun of its supposedly absurd pronunciation according to English phonology.
Always been a fan of games left in Japan that could technically still be played in America. It seems like they had so many cool games that we just never even knew about, there's actually a bunch of stuff I wish I knew how to understand in Japanese. Maybe I'll finally decide to learn it one of these days. 😄👍
We just finished a VGM podcast with Shibibinman being one of the themes. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who pronounces it that way. Great stuff as always dude!
I was terrified you were gonna cut that cyborg 009 clip without letting us hear "cut the foods!" again. Bless you, Joe. I'd cut the foods for you, anytime!
19:47 The Formation option here is vague, but it determines the AI of your partners. I believe sending them up front makes them more aggressive while in the back they are more passive and some times use their guns. You can actually alter this on the fly either by the Start button or Select, I forget which. 20:16 There is an explanation here, but as I'm sure you've encountered, Transformers Takara (a name used to differentiate it from the One based on the Armada Series) is incredibly vague and generally expects you to know the controls and how to play the game before hand. The reason you're forced out of the transformation is cause you actually need enough energy to transform. It doesn't consume the energy but it is needed. Though to be fair only in rare cases such as Megatron, Galvatron, or Rodimus is it even worth transforming to use their attacks. 20:33 Only certain characters have access to the attack and then its a combination of D Pad and Attack. The game really can't be played guns a blaze and requires you to hold back and use the guard button to wait for an opening. 20:55 Its actually much worse then you think. Recall this is a Japanese game...with only an English Dub. For the Japanese Audience they need the Japanese Subtitles to understand the game and yeah the VAs are boring to grating. They're all in Country English voice actors which typically means they're just easier to get a hold of then paying for VAs out of Japan. This is made worse as most of the Voice Actors in here also did work for the english Dub of Mega Man X7...that speaks for itself. The Game also sucker punches you into playing the game 4 times if you want full completion. You need to beat both Autobots and Decepticons twice as on the second playthrough you encounter and recruit other Transformers. But yeah its sadly not a good game, which is a shame since there are so many callbacks and references to the original series so the Writers clearly knew the source material. I'd only recommend it if you're a Die Hard Transformers fan and only after looking up controls and tips for the game.
Being self imposed quarantined due to the virus, I really appreciate the sack being so large and gamey, that I have entertainment for at least a week if not more. Thank you GameSack
Breaking the fourth wall in your ending segment was funny 😂 Also I am certain you will still have plenty of material for future _Left in Japan_ episodes since those guys kept a lot for themselves 🤔
Some more suggestions for a possible left in japan episode: Brave Prove (recently fan translated) Beyond Oasis PS1 "clone" Boktai 3 (GBA) Tetrastar (Famicom) Gear fighter (PS1) Ape escape million monkeys (PS2) Retro game challenge 2 (DS) Chaos seed (sfc/saturn) Robot wars series Dezaemon series I tried to consider some Sega games but I can't seem to think of any that haven't been featured.
A new Game Sack episode featuring Transformers, an obligatory Greendog reference, and a possible new running joke(cut the foods!). Good to see Joe knows how to keep the show going strong, even without Dave.
If he tries to hide them, someone else will just dig it up. The internet at large has a bad knack for doing that, but sometimes it can feel good to open old scars.
No... it’s “kasoku suru”. It’s Japanese for “accelerate”... aka the name of his ability. It’s just so garbled it’s hard to make out. It’s a LOT clearer and easier to make out all the syllables in the show. EDIT: it’s Kasoku Souchi not Kasoku Suru... derp.
Aww, Winkysoft, the Banpresto spinooff, so they have a pedigree of mecha games behind them. They're known for the Lord of Elemental series of turn-based strategy stuff. (Where your friendlies will complain if you hit them with friendly fire via a MAP attack :p)
Metal Stoker looks kinda neat. Like Super Smash TV but your not stuck in just one square room at a time and you're in a vehicle as opposed to running around all vulnerable. 😄👍
It is fun to cut the foods in public, even with a friend! Cyborg 009 taught me about life. Joe taught me about being a pirate. He is currently awaiting parole over a single DVD.
I'm pretty sure you haven't covered these two Enix games on the Super Famicom; Nangoku Shounenn Papuwa Kun is a side scrolling action game and Violinist of Hamelin is a puzzle platformer. They are both affordable, fun games that can be played with little to no knowledge of the Japanese language.
What are some games that never were released outside of Japan that you'd like to see covered?
please...Seaman 2 ! Loved the hell outta the 1st. part ^^
Hungry Ghosts for PS2
Missing Tama and Friends
Artificial Academy 2 (ﾟωﾟ)
The Flight-Plan self-published strategy RPG's (excluding Eternal Poison), Tear Ring Saga: Berwick Saga, and the first five games of the Atelier series.
Q: What is the purpose of Japanese Santoku knives?
A: CUTTHEFOODS!!!
Cut the foods! I burst out laughing after hearing that lol
You CUT THE HELL OUT OF THOSE FOODS on that last 009 clip... Damn mang!
"Don't be a loser. Instead, be perfect."
Good life advice from Joe.
Joe always has the best advice
Shinobi Wolf Don’t git gud. Get great, then you’ll have no trouble!” - Sunburned Albino
Lol, I scrolled to your comment at the EXACT SECOND Joe said it... Crazy
10:20 "I illegally burned a DVD! That's right I'm risking jail time for you!" made me laugh out loud 😂 can of coke to you Joe
Next thing we know he'll be downloading a car!
I love that it says CRIME! CRIME! on the physical disc...and I also love you Jay Hunter, but thats no crime...or is it in Ireland? Id do 5-10 for you...and maybe 30 days for V1.
I thought Cyborg 009 says "Kasoku Sochi" in the anime, but he actually says "Cut the Foods", thank you very much for the clarification!
This year @ Thanksgiving I was carving the Turkey & yelled "Cut the Foodz!" Everyone at the table looked at me real funny. Jokes on them, cuz they didn't get it. One person chuckled tho, they got it.
With the Coronavirus infection going around, lots of grocery stores have introduced rationing to try to help with panic buyers grabbing all the stuff.
A lot of the foods have been cut...
A grown man playing with transformers is a lot less offensive than a grown man that collects pop figures.
What if I only acquired 6 pop figures? I wanted the addams family - the old version. Thought they looked cool. Ain't buying anymore. Got what I wanted.
So does that make me only minorly offensive?
@@donnerblitzen1388 No, owning 1 ruins you.
And since you commented, I heard recently that they aren't selling well anymore and the company is going to bury a bunch in a landfill like Atari did with their E.T. and other unsold game cartridges.
@@EmergencyChannelcorrect
"Cut the foods" is stuck in my head now. Thanks Gamesack.
In Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2), which was also only released in Japan, one of the main characters, Judas, keeps saying something similar to, "Let's go cooking!" and ,"Are you done cooking?"
In comic and anime, he said "KASOKU SOUCHI!" means "Accelerator".
He can move at mach 3.
but in this game,he said "cut the Foods!" for sure.
Sounds like we should be hearing quite a loud sonic boom instead of anything he happens to be saying.
listen to your heart.
that I always do when watching RUclips speaks in English :p
@@GameSack To be fair, a sonic boom is what the Mega CD version sounds like much more than anyone saying any actual human words =0P
For all I know, it could be "Kappa moose!", "Copper moose!", or even "Cup a moose!".
I was super confused at first but actually DOES say "KASOKU SOUCHI". In Japanese, it's common for some vowels like u or i to be inflected quickly or just be left out and implied in the word depending on the speaker.
At the risk of repeating myself: I love Game Sack. The content itself, the editing, the humor -- everything is quality. Game Sack forever.
You are truly a retro gamer hero. Very glad I found this channel. Greetings from Japan!
I know you hear this all the time, but thanks for continuing the quality uploads. It’s my favorite way to pass time. I can’t count the amount of games I’ve added to my collection, strictly based on the reviews I’ve seen on this channel. Many thanks!!!!
I love it when a fresh Game Sack drops. :)
I got a sack to drop on you
Has Game's sack finally dropped?
That means the game has developed into puberty. Just be on the look out for 1990's levels of 'tude.
love the dreamcast era of graphics.. rent a hero looks pretty sweet
Fact: The bug-eyed girl that you mention is Helena. She's an original in-game character. She was from outer space and has two sisters! (According to the Cyborg 009 Fandom)
Didn't you know? All space-people have no sclerae, just big buggy eyes! Just ask the Helena triplets!
while i was preparing dinner this evening, I said "CUT THE FOODS!" while i was cutting foods.
The voice of Optimus Prime is Robert Belgrade, who you may know as Alucard from Symphony of the Night.
He did sound familiar. His booth was right next to Game Sack's at one convention and he played the tamborine or flute or something pretty much all day long.
The voice of Optimus Prime is Peter Cullen. Don't ever let anybody lie to you again.
@@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart He didn't voice Optimus Prime in all of the transformers carttons, like the Unicron trilogy and R.I.D.
@@MrPlaylist1991 if he didn't voice Optimus in those, then they don't count/ matter
@@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart that's just plain stupid.
Best retro show on youtube!
I love all the videos you produce
Joe, you def make a bunch of our days with this channel. Plz keep them coming!
"Cut the foods!!!" I want a shirt that says that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rent a Hero seems like the initial building blocks of Yakuza.
´That and Shemnue, yeah!
And some sparkles of SpikeOut.
This is the best Game Sack episode of all time! I love the technical insights and honest opinion of these games. I always learn something new. Keep up the great work.
ahh, spring is here...
and a new game sack episode, the perfect combination
Doesn't spring start late March/early April?
@@dale7188 Yeah, but did it already happen? I don't think so, but I may be wrong.
Perfect timing as i head to the shitter
Game Sack is the best. Love the Left In Japan videos!!! I gotta try playing some of these on stream.
I remember watching cyborg 009 on toonami back in like 1999 or 2000
These Left in Japan videos are the reason I'm still subscribed. So keep 'em coming
Now you gotta wait another year for the next episode. Have fun
"That's right! I'm risking jail time for you!"
*famous last words*
I watch Game Sack now ever since Classic Game Room just fell apart!
Yeah I miss the cgr vids too.. The humor was just spot on.
I laugh at your comment, but I cry for CGR.
I wonder why Mark didn't even try to make a video to explain to all his fans of CGR..... Guess he will never complete his mission to review everything :(
On a similar note, what happened to the other Game Sack guy? Is this a one-person channel now?
EDF! EDF! I miss CGR and Truxton dang it. HIs Umihara Kawase review got me to get it on Steam- best fishing sim ever lol
I saw that G R E E N D O G flavored save file! May he live in our saves forever. Another Fantastic video!
"I'm not touching the enemy with my weapon." Game Sack 2020 🤣
In the endless slog that is life at least we have GAMESACK SUNDAY WEOO
thanks joe
11:21 *D o r k*
Lest my keyboard gets cold I guess I'd say something a bit more constructive. As a Japanese person I greatly appreciate Joe neither fakes and/or flexes his ability to pronounce Japanese words nor does he downright make fun of its supposedly absurd pronunciation according to English phonology.
Here here! NOTHING is more punchable than the way that guy at the next table over just ordered a fajita.
@The Deadpool Who Chuckles. That could be the case.
We only see half of that sign. Maybe it's pointing to the city of New Dork?
Left in Japan 31: *gets released*
Me: YES! GAMESACK!
Wow, Rent a Hero looks like a proto No More Heroes. The wrestling moves, the toilet, the way you get your gear at the start.
This is my favorite Game Sack series.
Always been a fan of games left in Japan that could technically still be played in America. It seems like they had so many cool games that we just never even knew about, there's actually a bunch of stuff I wish I knew how to understand in Japanese.

Love this series. Always find new games to play.
We just finished a VGM podcast with Shibibinman being one of the themes. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who pronounces it that way. Great stuff as always dude!
Cyborg 009 was shown on Toonami for a time, so it's something I'm a bit familiar with.
and there was the weird crossover with Devilman that was on Netflix for a while.
@@RFSKannon It's also made by the same guy who did Android Kikaider and Kamen Rider.
Im a simple man I see posted 44 seconds ago and its Game Sack, I click.
11 minutes for me. Would've been under 5 if I wasn't watching Metallica and The Big 4 jam out.
I'm a simple man. I see a bot in the comments, I report.
@@Code7Unltd Who's a bot? I am American human man age 25 to 40. I used to be baseball. Now I drink rock and roll friendship beverage.
@@Doc_Valparaiso Not you. The OP.
@@Code7Unltd I was mainly hoping my good friend Craig Stadler was going to be here at the 44 second mark as well, but no just you :(

Being self imposed quarantined due to the virus, I really appreciate the sack being so large and gamey, that I have entertainment for at least a week if not more. Thank you GameSack
I love your captions about the kick-ass music that will prompt me to subscribe, Joe.
I have no clue how you didn't cut your wrists because of how much he screams "CUT DA FOODS!!!"
Jeez.
CUT DA FOODS!!!
I look forward to a new Game Sack every week!
Breaking the fourth wall in your ending segment was funny 😂
Also I am certain you will still have plenty of material for future _Left in Japan_ episodes since those guys kept a lot for themselves 🤔
Saturday nights were made for Game Sack uploads!
Great as always, regards from Brazil!
The music on the first stage of Chain Dive is epic. Awesome vid Joe.
This was the best post-credits scene so far!
March 1 starting great with Game Sack
I wonder how many people are aware that in that japan-only G1 game, Optimus was voiced by the same guy who voiced Alucard in Symphony of the Night.
I was just catching up on this series, its like you read my mind, good stuff, thank you!
It's almost like he uploads videos on the same day of the week at the same exact time.
Joe gets devastated with so much alone time at the end.
Devastator is my favorite combiner, real badass
That 4th wall break in the skit haha, geez you're funny. Thanks Joe!
"Cut The Foods" is a legendary tier battle cry. I think it's up there with "Spoon!".
Thanks for all the hard work 👍👌🤟
"Prepare to be hurt."
"Okay, old man."
"...words can also hurt, you know."
Some more suggestions for a possible left in japan episode:

Yeah, but mostly because I couldn't remember the original title, several more that I listed also have been translated.
You "kinda still" like transformers? Face it we loved them when we were young, and we still "totally" love them in our 40s

"CUT THE FOODS"! Meme created! xD Thanks Gamesack.
Another great episode Joe...thank you.
Looking at these games i can't get rid of the feeling that some gems should remain hidden forever.
If he tries to hide them, someone else will just dig it up. The internet at large has a bad knack for doing that, but sometimes it can feel good to open old scars.
Thank YOU for making game sack.
Fantastic episode and skit at the end! Loved it!
I cannot unhear that now CUT THE FOODS!😁😁
just like Axel's GRANPAPA!
I love these episodes
Was going through the old GS videos and really enjoyed the game room video from 2012. Time for an updated video on your game room, Joe!
Cut the Phoodz!
4:48 he says "catapult" That's what he says when he activates a switch that starts his speed, that shimmer when you activate it on the SNES version.
Too late, it's now forever gonna be "CUT THE FOODS!!!" sorry I don't make the rules.
No... it’s “kasoku suru”. It’s Japanese for “accelerate”... aka the name of his ability. It’s just so garbled it’s hard to make out. It’s a LOT clearer and easier to make out all the syllables in the show.
EDIT: it’s Kasoku Souchi not Kasoku Suru... derp.
