PSA: The OST for this and Madworld are widely available and are worth picking up.
You are absolutely right and everybody who likes good video game music should pick it up. Platinum is so confusing sometimes
On Spotify and Apple Music too?
@@PatrickTCAPIreland you can easily find it on RUclips
Edit: ruclips.net/p/PLB195451FDFDFB0B5
@@PatrickTCAPIreland Yes. Apple definitely, but it’s worth buying the album. Lots of indie artists on there. 👍
Appreciate that I just added the entire ost on my Spotify 😊
That statement by Platinum in response to the western release being pushed back...they were basically asking their fans to import Japanese copies because Sega wouldn't commit to an international simultaneous release. That's wild
Yep. It was so soon before launch that preorders went dark and we had to scramble to import. Didn’t even know if the 360 version would work overseas.
greedy sega
I love it when developers have the decency to do this because even in this day and age, many games don't get localised.
@@andrada9506 what else is new
@@andrada9506
Not greedy, just incompetent or just plain ignorant
man, I felt so bad hearing Platinum's statement on why their game initial only released in Japan and why the west should still buy it :(
I will say this: I think the Sincity look worked perfectly for Mad World. But Anarchy Reigns colorful characters look fantastic on that style and that ONE SCENE were the game goes black and white while Jack goes full murder-mode on the antagonist was extremely hype.
Jack smacked the guy so hard dude halucinates that he won against the good guys, that was the funniest plot twist ever
17:58 Something tells me that Babylon's Fall will likely get its own What Happened episode at some point...as it dropped to fewer than ten concurrent players on Steam earlier this month, you could say that Babylon's Fall has...fallen...in less than two months.
By the time that episode comes out is gonna be really depressing cause pretty much all signs are pointing towards platinum closing down in the near future unless some buys them
Dang, are things that bad? I guess the surprise Automata success that saved them a few years back is about to fade out if true.
@@matttheshadowman2790 My worry is Platinum might have waited too long with Bayonetta 3, and are rushing out a product to ship. I love Bayonetta 1 and 2, but both are showing their age by now.
@@jsh020 or worse, they end up like Treasure. No one will buy them out and they'll be doomed to live off past successes and nothing more.
@@Joe90h If by "showing their age" you mean "better than 99% of the shit that comes out now" then you're right
I will say Anarchy Reigns was actually a really fun game. Gotta appreciate Platinum Games transparency with regards to the games delay too. The game as a whole has a lot of really fun concepts and elements that make it a very niche brawler. Whilst its story is very run-of-the-mill, the stages you can play on, the combat itself and the action-sequence events are really cool. What definately hurt it was the online play, especially if you couldn't find a match in your area with a decent connection. Also the soundtrack in this game is absolutely off the charts. If you loved the Mad World OST, this is as good if not better.
Sure, it's no Mad World 2 but at least it was nice for Platinum to try their hands at a spinoff to it. I hope we do get to see an eventual sequel to Mad World down the road.
I doubt that we will ever see a Madworld 2, but IMO it wouldn't be off the charts to see a basic remaster of Madworld.
Why is there still no Mad World port for Switch
Hmmm, how did the track go? WE CAN DO THIS THE SIMPLE WAY, I PREFER TO KEEP IT COMPLICATED!
I really appreciate fighting games or multiplayer games that support good offline single player and offline bots especially these days where almost every high budget arcady game is online only ( exoprimal, for honor etc) anarchy reigns has both and if it has split screen it would have been a perfect package. streetfighter 6 is the recent example though that is capcom learning there lesson from sfV
This game's ost fucking slaps.
Amen to that, very unique among OSTs too. Still great after all these years.
Addendum:
This game fucking slaps.
Now knowing that Sega basically gave Platinum carte blanche to develop 4 whole ass games as they pleased, I can totally see why they'd cut ties so quickly after all these games failed to hit sales targets. Still unfortunate regardless of who was at fault, which I'd argue was Sega, you can't just expect to publish these kinds of games without giving them proper marketing.
I'd agree - Sega's biggest enemy tends to be Sega themselves. It's disappointing that Plat got screwed because Bayonetta was decent, and scary because they own Atlus who are responsible for one of my favourite franchises (SMT) and I can see signs of the series fracturing as a result.
The OST alone is reason enough for this game to be in a top 10 game of all time.
Also....Jesus christ....how many overwatch characters were ripped off from this game.
@@t-in-japan I couldn't be the only one getting flashbacks to Big Bull upon seeing Reinhart.
@@t-in-japan someone at Activision Blizzard was definitely a fan
big SaltyBet-core nostalgia right there
Oh no... Not another reminder, I've been wanting a game that plays like this game. Nothing has compared since..
I remember seeing this at GameStop and thinking wtf is this? And I'm glad I got it. It was definitely a fun but broken game but still fun af
Everything is fun i wanna know what game do you consider "Not Fun"
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 The last of us 1&2, Horizon 0 Dawn, new God of War, any lara croft reboot, any uncharted game. uh theres more
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137
You ever play Overwatch post-2017?
did the same jaja... df? 29.99? yeah why not jaja
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 I'm envious of you being able to enjoy any game no matter how garbage it is
I've been asking for a remastered of the game since 2017 and to know that they will likely never happen hurts my soul. This game was really ahead of it's time and if it had came out now or within the last 4 years or so, it would have been gangbusters. Love this game and HOPE there may be a slimmer of a chance for Sega and Platinum to agree on a remaster.
There was zero marketing for this game and sega is the sole reason it didn’t do well. I found out about this game while trying to find RUclips videos on bayonetta and stumbled on her character trailer.
The online play was fine, you’d get people with terrible connection here and there but they’d often disconnect and the lobby would be fine.
Anarchy reigns was unique for its time and even to this day it’s still unique. In the slog of “looter shooters and fps trash” along with the extremely BORING and STALE fighting games around where they’re literally clones of each other with a new skin, AHEM every mortal combat and both injustice games as well as tekken being ass and street fighter being dead we do not have a single good fighting game right now, Anarchy Reigns would actually sell very well. These developers need to realize that gamers are BORED we’re tired of the same garbage over and over again nonstop. Rerelease Anarchy reigns.
Ugh. It's like P* is cursed or something. I've never seen a studio that puts out such amazing and unique games go thru so many troubles and issues. Really hope things will turn around for them
Its like the Gainax of video games
@@Kos4Evr Amen.
Their new CEO wants to focus on "live service" games. So fat chance.
@@josephgarfield3363 sounds like that is a Square Enix issue not Platimum
It’s because even their highly praised games don’t sell well. They are always on the brink of bankruptcy. There are just not enough people buying their games.
So Babylon's Fall What Happun when since we are discussing Platinum. Cause that is a game that needs some light shined on it.
It's a very obvious choice, but the problem is that Matt needs to find information and we don't have that atm unless he can get some insider sources.
Never played Anarchy Reigns, but I was one of the 15 people who played Mad World and I loved it.
I was one of the people who did go ahead and imported the game when it came out in Japan. Made a full Let's Play of it and weirdly it became one of my most viewed LPs. But watching this made me realize how PG seems to have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew sometimes. AR here being a bit too ambitious for their first online game, Scalebound becoming way to big so it had to be cancelled and Babylon's Fall being...well...Babylons Fall.
Do you speak english or nah?!
Oh, man! I was wondering what happened to Scalebound!
@@Sanguivore There is a WH episode on Scalebound.
@@MrFutago87 I happened to actually watch it right after I finished this video! xD
They struggle financially and they diverted resources from scalebound to other projects. It’s why Microsoft canceled the game. Before Nier they were basically bankrupt. Their ambition is to deliver AA/ AAA action games but they don’t have the budgets. Even their well reviewed games don’t sell well. They were never able to become financially stable. It seems like there is just no market for their games even their best ones.
Wow, this is a throwback. I remember how much investment I put into this game with the small community it had left; in fact, it's funny how this brawler with wonky netcode was the game I wanted to "get gud" at and not most actual fighting games. But, it was a period of my life I enjoyed, despite the lag and certain people we had to put up with. Big Bull main for life. :3
Wait...what console did you play on? Was it the same tag?
@@TwitchVO PS3. I went by 'YinYangTiger13.'
BIG BULL
I remember everyone felt so sweaty and I was literally doing the same combos as them. I was on PS3 when it first came out but yeah I had problems finding matches and had a hard time catching wins
You can't just acknowledge Babyllon's Fall and not do Wha Happun about it.
The studio made all the worst decisions possible when making that game, it's baffling.
Oh he's got that in the plans I'm sure.
Oh it is in his list. The issue is that not much has come out regarding its development yet.
The state of play trailer from 2019 was more fun than the final product it’s insane.
2:46 Sadly, he has a point.
When it came out, I was far too young to play it.
Same with No More Heroes. But at least the first and second games came out on Switch, with me finally old enough to play those games.
I hope they do the same with Mad World.
I was 13 when it came out but I didn't own a wii
I loved this game so much as a randy tween. I would kill for a switch port.
This game has one of my all time favorite soundtracks. It just goes so well with all the crazy shenanigans happening in the multiplayer. Really wanted this game to do better, couldn't find matches online after a month with the NA release.
Yep, the sound track was amazing I even bought the imported game ost overseas!
Holy shit the soundtrack itself kept me playing far longer than I would have thanks to the lack of split screen. But these characters yo!
Sega and incompetence, name a more iconic videogame duo.
Probably one of the most unusual, yet unique & killer OSTs in gaming history. In regards to this game, I mean.
Of course, Steve Blum is a legendary Voice Actor.
As one of those "rabid" Platinum fans, I fondly remember playing this on release and having an absolute blast with the multiplayer for a few weeks or so before it started taking too long to find a match. Great game that was just pure, goofy fun, much like Madworld before it. I'd be so down to see the two games get polished up and re-released but sega will never do it, they have too many ports of sonic 1-3 to work on to think about doing anything else, ever.
Man, me and my pals loved this game back in the day. One of the character, an old cyborg named Douglas, had some Big-O style pile drivers in his arms. Loved the character designs.
Loved that game, despite its problems. Spawn: Demon's Hand or Heavy Metal Geomatrix weren't particularly great games either, but they were ludicrously fun nonetheless, and Anarchy Reigns fit right in with those Dreamcast party poppers. If it had any form of local multiplayer it would've prolly been remembered a lot more fondly.
For me its the worst game I have ever played
I had those exact same thoughts! Spawn and Geomatrix are some of my favorite games on DC, so I naturally loved Anarchy Regins.
Agree, i find bizarre that the dreamcast could easily do almost any game 4 players split screen but this one doesn't even has 2 player.
@@iamarabicandiloveamericanp7137 Neverdead. It's the only game I've ever QA'd that had me want to kill myself before, during, and after work. I BEGGED to be off the project for my mental health. Almost offed myself.
thats part of the arena fighter ganre now a days they are a bit basic and barebones but there are some fun one like jojo one (has potential but rushed).
Maybe through coincidence, Spotify recommended the Anarchy Reigns soundtrack to me this past week. Matt's marketing must be very strong.
One of the sickest OSTs out there. Every track is a banger in its own right. Great vid Matt! 🎶With a cold heart of darkness, one city is lawlesss, one city fighting for order THAT'S WHAT THE LAW IS!!! This is madness.🎶
I, like many here remember when the game was coming out, and how palpable the hype was for this was. It was for a bit, and then it just fell off the planet... Platinum Games, more like Potential Games, they have fantastic ideas, that are either ahead of their time, or won't work in the universe, maybe an alternate one... Where they still make bangers and didn't have to squander making mid nickelodeon tie in games and live services.
Anyway, gonna go blast a song I still listen to a decade later "Here We Go" and...
GOTTA GET DA CASH, GOTTA GET DA DOE! GOTTA GET DA CASH, GOTTA GET DA DOE! GOTTA GET DA CASH, GOTTA GET DA DOE!
BODY FOR THE PRICE... JUST SAY SOOO!!!
Platinum is pretty much only known as having the main developer behind Devil May Cry. Once he left Capcom, he started Bayonetta and took off along with Metal Gear Revengance.
Unfortunately it seems that fast paced slashers are their thing because everything else pretty much failed.
@@onthedre They did make a lot of poor decisions too like with the Nickelodeon games. Although Korra was pretty good and so was Transformers Devastation.
@@tachannel4497 They lost money with that. None of the three games were commercially successful enough to truly save the company. There were alternatives they could have taken which would have garnered more money, more acclaim and would have kept them afloat for longer. Matter of fact, those projects only made it more difficult for them.
I’m just saying, I’d totally play a revival of this game, or anything with the mad world characters for sure. I remember when I first saw anarchy reigns in a game informer, I was super excited but the constant push backs made me forget and eventually miss the release altogether.
I wish Nintendo would fund a revival like they did with Bayanetta.
I remember certain characters being absolutely busted. Bayo was really good, Rin Rin had a spammable aerial move that’d chunk you every time it hit, and Blacker Baron’s special could one-shot you when the game lagged.
I miss my time playing this one on the 360.
Yea man Bayo, All the Rin sisters and Sasha all had infinites. And I'd be lying if I didn't take hella advantage of Blacker Baron's one shot in lag lmao.
@@Blackout20211 all female characters had an infinite
Also for OP characters: Douglas was insane. He was VERY fast for a heavyweight character, did a shit ton of damage and his aerial killer weapon strong attack had very high damage but with a wide AOE range. He was easily the only S tier heavy
One of my best gaming memories happened in this game. Everyone had voice chat on with a mic, and for some reason I started singing the pokemon theme. Everyone else joined in. It was beautiful. I will never meet those people again.
This has nothing to do with the video, I just don't get many opportunities to talk about this game.
Infinity space is one of the most underrated Jrpg ever, it is master piece of it genre. Deserve more recognition, it did such a unique experience that I be hard pressed to find anything like it ever.
You could copy and paste this comment and use it as a review for ANY Platinum Game.
I was absolutely livid when I found out we weren't getting the game for 6 more months. I didn't know about porting it overseas so I waited and got it In January. When I was able to get matches I had fun if they didn't fall apart connection wise. Also inifinites were a thing so that was fun.
They need to give this game the “Phantom Dust” treatment. Tweaks and and rerelease for a fan resurgence.
I'm hoping Platinum doesn't forget about this universe, from the amazing announcers and presentation of Madworld, to the raw energy and characters of Anarchy (oh and the soundtracks of course) this universe is awesome and sets of that early 2010's badass vibe in all the right ways
God, this one makes me sad. I remember reading the tweets from them about the game being complete and just not getting a western release date. Sega of America *killed* this game with that. The hardest of the hardcore character action fans imported it and made plenty of content, but by the time I could get it when it launched in the west, it had a *very* short life left in it. Still one of the most fun online game experiences I could remember when it worked, and there was just nothing else like it. Closest thing is that wrestling battle Royale now. It's real sad to see what's happened to the company since.
Thank you Rebeltaxi for introducing me to this hidden gem
The designs of all the characters are so cool tho!
I am not a fan of online multiplayer, but give me a single player with all those characters and it is a day 1 purchase for me
Only the female characters look good IMO. Almost all the male ones look like the same big, bulky, square-ish guy besides Leo.
You can be an emo dude with scythe blades coming out of his arms, you can be a cyborg ninja... Or you can be a breakdancing pimp with flaming gloves he stole off a pyrophiliac.
You decide how edgy you want to be.
@@calemr dont forget kung fu sisters, a giant robot transformer, an insane cheetah leg man, a cyborg minotaur, a sexy ice lady, a guy with TWO chainsaws in one arm, a silent sadist with a baseball bat, a gross mutant pig-lizard guy, giant electro man, and a hairy witch. Thats a lot of silly variety. Lol
@@hypertv7232 I don't think I'd mix up Douglas and Oinkie. Or Durga and Big Bull. Or Zero and Nikolai.
They're all clearly visually different.
What Happun? - Babylon's Fall is Imminent.
That 'Samurai Cop' reference just made my day! These videos are always so well crafted.
This game is the sickest, the hard campaign is so tough, but it was one of the best games to play on that difficulty. Also the soundtrack is so sick!
Mad World was one of my favorite games on Wii! I'd love to see a console/PC port like we got of the No More Heroes games!
As the saying goes: when it Anarchy Reigns, it absolutely pours.
I'm not apologizing.
Weird, I was just looking for an excuse to listen to this game's soundtrack for the 6th time this month. Thank you McMuscles.
You need an excuse?
I still remember this game…….
Such a, odd one.
I do think that MADWORLD should get a modern release. It’s a phenomenal game!
This game deserved so much more. It was amazing. Just the soundtrack deserved it to be a best seller.
Two unfortunate games with incredible style and even more incredible OSTs.
Much love to Platinum and the indie artists involved.
I know it's probably not gonna happen, but I really, really want a Madworld switch port.
Wish this would get re-released to wash the stink of Babylon's Fall out
The mention of Infinite Space at about 2 minutes grabbed my attention. What a criminally underrated game. I wish they would remake that or remaster it or something. The Suikoden style crew collecting and customization of ships and crew posting was amazing.
I've been waiting so long for a What Happened? covering Anarchy Reigns, thank you Matt.
This game was like Kirby Air Ride with chainsaws and booties. 10/10, hope they do a remaster soon.
I miss this game so much. Played it after a friend convinced me to try it out, and I grew to love the style, the music, the combat, damn near everything! I admittedly didn't do many of the multiplayer modes beyond us duking it out, but we loved teaming up against the unique bosses, like the sentai-themed gargoyle robots, or against the bartender robot who got a super upgrade to make them a near god. Sadly, as multiplayer died down, we couldn't find a good third player and couldn't play together; online required you find all human players or you are screwed.
Also, everyone, please try Infinite Space! It's legitimately good!
Also also, good video dude.
This game was extremely unique, down to the character design and OST. Mathilda’s whole cyborg studded body with her iron maiden whip/hammer is just prime creativity
Holy shit, I absolutely loved infinite space. That is probably my favorite rpg of all time. What a weird place and time to hear about it
Platinum has just had it so rough man. Constantly getting hit with development hell and publisher bullshit interfering on just about every single one of their releases. Unless someone like Nintendo snaps them up, they'll likely have to shutter their doors if Bayonetta 3 doesn't sell well.
This game is not dead! A handful of us still play this game to this day through a discord server for this game for both ps3/360! 💪🏽
I'm happy to hear that you covered this since Anarchy Reigns hold a lot of nostalgic memories for me. Like how excited I was for its release that I preordered it but then it was pushed back until January and how I woke up the morning it came out and walked across the street from where I lived at the time to the GameStop as they opened up.
While it lacked polish in certain areas for sure, the gameplay and music were great! I still have a RUclips playlist with the OST that I listen to from time to time.
It's a real shame that it didn't take off even with PERFECT (gameplay and character-wise) guest characters like Bayonetta.
If it were ever to be revived and I have the console it comes out on I will definitely get it.
Anyway, I wrote a book, but your video literally took me back so many years ago and I learned a lot that I didn't know and reaffirmed some info that I had heard but wasn't exactly sure about.
Great Video! :D
It's a shame this gem gonna be buried in history. I remembered being real excited when I first saw the gameplay. I've been longing for Capcom to do a console or PC port of Power Stone for ages and this game fills that arcade-y areana brawler void nicely. Despite its flaws, my goodness I've had tons of fun in online matches even playing solo with bots. The combat feels weighty and impactful. The character designs and the soundtracks are especially outstanding. It's one of those games that no one really talk or think about but whenever it does get mentioned, the waves of nostalgia just wash right over... Godammit you make me miss the game 😖
Big Bull Crocker was definitely my favorite character in this game. I genuinely had a lot of fun playing it in high school.
This is blowing my mind right now because it never crossed my mind to even play online even I was playing the game.
I miss this game so much.. The character designs, the animations, and especially the OST!
It's really hard to find a game similar to this with online multiplayer
I know you said not to hope Matt... But I can't. I can't not hope for a re-release.
Arguably some of the best moments and memories I've built with friends I have around the world.
14:17 The Samurai Cop reference was noted.
1:53 I love that game. It has its defaults, but it is so far the only RPG involving airship/spaceship battles since Skies of Arcadia.
Loved this game a lot. Really glad they stay committed to getting it a western release and really put in the effort for that. Game was a really fun time even if I mostly played singleplayer.
I remember an ad on a billboard on a very obscure part of my town. It caught my attention for a second but never made me go check it out.
I would love an anarchy reigns remaster, that soundtrack is too good
I LOVED this game despite having only played a handful of matches online, the story mode and bot lobbies were enough for me to get the most out of it. I lost my copy of the game in early 2015 around moving my things out of my college dorm, so when I say that I found a single BRAND NEW unopened copy of the game at a Vintage Stock priced at dirt cheap in 2021 I could have cried I was so happy.
Moral of the story, support your local nostalgia stores if you love anything that’s unappreciated and will probably be lost to time.
Oh man, I was just talking about this game a few weeks ago. The online was really fun when it worked, which was not often.
It's unfortunate they didn't at least implement offline LAN play for this game. My friends and I would have definitely appreciated that.
This is definitely the kind of game that probably would have a better chance to succeed nowadays considering how big battle royale games are getting.
I lightly disagree, as there is now a metric ton of competition in that aspect.
@@plague3038 Sure, but I definitely feel like they would stand out from the rest with how insane the game could get
Dang wasn't expecting anarchy. I listen to this soundtrack along with madworld every day.
One of the biggest Self-fulfilling Prophecies of all time.
"It won't sell, so let's let it die just in case."
anyone else only remember the game thanks to RebelTaxi?
This is the first time i hear of this game. Man, Platinum Games is a rollercoaster of success, from awesome games like MGR, to average ones like Legend Of Korra... and then you have Babylon's Fall.
Infinite Space is extremely underrated. It is an amazing game, one of the best JRPGs on the DS. I'd be really interested in a What Happened? episode about it, specifically what happened and nobody remembers it today, despite being one of the best Platinum games.
Great game. I own an original copy. Its one of my favorite owned ds games!!
Macworld deserves so much more success, I would kill for a remaster or sequel. Picked up this game on PS3 for 5 bucks wish the servers were still up
ikr.
Anarchy Reigns is a guilty pleasure of mine
Its…not that great of a game and in retrospect it might not be a good game
But I still enjoy my time with it
Plus that soundtrack is godlike
Its probably my favorite Video Game soundtrack
Same! I played the soundtrack for some friends and they were surprised the music went that hard!
I’ve been waiting for you to make this video for so long, I was one of the many souls that imported this game that summer and that’s how I spent my next few months. This game is dear to my heart and the last time I checked I’m still on 2 of the top 10 leaderboards (All I did was double grab spam with Douglas lol)
This whole journey is a crying fucking shame. I absolutely adored this game and my group of friends and I would always try to play it online together. Sure sometimes it didn't work that well, but when it worked it was some of the most fun we ever had. I can totally understand why some people thought the singleplayer mode was a slog but I absolutely adored it because the game just felt fun to play. All the characters were cool and unique and the fighting system was simultaneously simple and intricate all at once. And that's without even mentioning the OST which was godlike and I still listen to it to this VERY DAY!
I'm still annoyed this never got a pc release
I remember being a kid and was so confused on why you couldnt get it for so long, which is a shame cause this was a fun cheesy brawler with such a short online timespan.
Man I love this game so much I played it day one and when I moved to my PS4 after my PS3 died I had been hoping for them to read every year I have a big thought about that it's sad to see that this game might not ever get that light.
This is wild, you release this video, just in my birthday!
Anarchy Reigns is in desperate need of a Steam release...
Absolutely *killer* soundtrack though.
Jaw, Lights Out, My Pride, Over in a Flash, Ruthless, so many more bangers.
"SMIIIIIIIIIILE AS WE REMINISCE OF THE DAYS OF OLD"
I'm glad more and more of Matt's videos feature insider info now! It's cool to see that the grind pays off :D Love the series!
"Sound the Alarm" has been my wake-up alarm on my phone ever since I first played Anarchy Reigns! I know you said "don't" but I'm still holding out hope that we might at least see a remaster of Anarchy Reigns, at some point. Without the meddling from Sega.
I swear this video makes me feel Sega wanted to ruin the game's chances, and I don't know why they would do that
Sometimes Sega successes feel like the accidents, the failures look mostly inevitable.
Not that they're completely blameless, but I think I don't blame Sega as much on this one. They've given Platinum free reign on 4 whole games, yet all of those 4 weren't bringing big sales. So having big doubts and giving lesser priority with Anarchy Reigns might be a shame but completely understandable.
@@spongebobfan78 I mean, sure, but as I've come to learn every time something goes horribly wrong or incredibly right it can very well be independent of the product itself, it is because of the marketing. I don't think Sega had any bright ideas in that department since Nintendon't
@@hirobeez I mean I know i hate how Sega will put nothing into a game's advertising and then blame it for not becoming famous and refuse to port like they do all the stuff from Dreamcast. Like I love Jet Set Radio but why doesn't it get a port when the equally good and already had a song become a meme Rhythm Thief have to suffer forever on 3DS?(Yes I know porting from the DS family is kind of tricky but mouse controls are often the best options you have to capture the same gameplay, i mean look at osu, not to mention I'm pretty sure smart phones made more around now a days could probably run the game better or at least without the pixel crud of 3DS hardware and have touch screens, and again putting the controls on the same screen doesn't seam to bother osu fans, The World Ends With You got it's second chance and that's Square Enix we're talking about, Sega please i beg of you)
"Why" isn't a mystery; Sega has a history of their own games, ips, and even game consoles sabotaged by office politics.
This game needs a goddamn remaster! Sega come ON!
I remember playing this back on ps3 there was a pretty decent community and we all knew each others names and such it was a cool experience
I was one who imported it from Japan when I heard the news of the delay. Thoroughly enjoyed the game and me and a bunch of friends played it to death online.
Shame that by the time it came out in the EU it was near impossible to find any games online.
Soundtrack is fantastic too, definitely one of my favourites!
With this game back in the day is where I first learned the difference between PUBLISHERS and DEVLEOPERS. I was very irritated with Sega but loved how transparent platinum was being about it. I enjoyed my time with Anarchy Reigns yea it was clunky but a fun clunky lol!
A little jank and unbalanced with people hypercombo murdering me, but still a good memory
I remember being surprised at Jack having hair in this. The shading in MadWorld made me think he was bald.
I would be so hype for an version of this game with an expanded campaign. The characters in this game are too cool and fun to play to be left in the past.
I'd LOVE if every character could get their own chapter or something. They're All so good.
Well, maybe not the two robot drones, but even then, I'm sure Someone liked Garuda and Gargoyle. Presumably.
I mained Douglas (I've always loved the absurd impracticality and yet extreme sense of power behind a Pile Bunker.) And he had almost 0 story relevance.
Yeah give me that and some kind of more composed arcade/endless mode than the one that's in there and it would be great.
i got this soundtrack on repeat 24/7, i hope someday to come out to a fight to soon enough. phenomenal song!
I still love this game. There was a point where you could buy it for $30 at target and sell it for $45 at gamestop
I remember hearing about this a couple months before release, I was one of those Wii kids who had to beg for MadWorld and I’m so glad I did! Absolutely the best game I ever played on that console.
I was so let down to hear this was a multiplayer focused title and they got rid of the comic book aesthetics. I believe I at least tried a demo back on PS3 and… yeah, never bought it. Wish they just woulda made MadWorld 2 or at least port the first game.
AR was ahead of its time frfr. i just remeber the online was dead on release and people started figuring out full 100% combos.
Another great saturday made by you 🍻🔥
