I really love the casual commentary over the games, filled with character instead of the bigger channels doing top10 videos with very sanitized commentary
I so wish Dragon's Crown and Odin Sphere could come on PC. It looks like a great successor to the Dungeons and Dragons arcade games, some of my favorite beat'em ups of all time.
@@menorasendaiba6404 A pity, especially as Unicorn Overlord made it to Xbox. And now that Switch emulation seems to be fading, it may be even harder to get them.
Wow!! I think i must be this awesome channel's demographic, since I'm lovin' all of this content and find myself watching all his videos twice!! thank you keep it coming.
If Vanillaware brought Dragon’s Crown to Steam and didn’t censor or remove any of the spiciness it would be a smash hit. I would buy copies for my friends so we could play co-op.
I don't think it would. That's the problem with this stuff - by the time developers decide to drag their heads outta their asses, no one is even interested in the game anymore. People either emulated it long ago, or just forgot.
@@kosmonautt Well no shit. When you're as big as Rockstar people will even buy shit like GTA trilogy remake (despite its trailers looking like shit), that's the benefit of being as big as they are. Pretty much everybody else won't be able to generate as much hype for mere ports.
I feel Dragons Crown Pro is the best beat 'em up game I've ever played. The RPG elements are the builds you choose and tied in with the loot hunt of a Diablo game.... perfection.
The Ninja Warriors got their start in arcades in 1987, it was a really impressive cabinet with 3 large monitors with stereo sound. Great fun back then.
Bravo! You Sir are brilliant! Your narration, your pleasant ( and sometimes cheeky ) voice :) : the bees knees. But what makes you extraordinary is your deliciously wicked wit. I'll shake your hands vigorously until it gets weird, then we'll go for a lolly. Cheers! Subscribed!
Dragon Crown perfectly illustrates why I hate "exclusives". I can't buy one of each console ever put in the market, man, and there's absolutely no reason why every single game can't be on PC.
That's a fair point. You have to wonder how the exclusive scene is going to look in the coming months and years, following the recent frenzy of developer purchases by Sony and Microsoft... Thanks for watching!
@@nishidohellhillsruler6731 You make the $100-150 you'll pay for a PS3 on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace sound like billion dollars. Dragon Crown also runs great in RPCS3 but I doubt you have a high end gaming PC needed to play.
Yeah, it's a shame that a lot of people will miss out because it's PS-only. I don't know if there'll ever be a sequel, but I really hope Vanillaware build on the formula for a cross-platform audience.
Dragon Crown fits more in the Action RPG genre, having a cross of RPG elements, and being Hack N' Slash.......which is distinctly different from a "Beat 'Em Up".
Dragons Crown was pretty great. Not just the art style, but just a lot of fun. If it was released on PC, i'd buy it. As it stands, I played through it with my brother via the RPCS3 emulator. Very satisfying.
Agreed! Loads to tinker with in the game. I like experimenting with the different characters, and stumbling across a new weapon or flashy special attack. Great fun.
I've played Midnight Fight and Fight 'n' Rage before _(Love_ FnR, man. So good), but do tend to ignore a lot of modern releases in favor of discovering older games via emulation. I mean, stuff like Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, Violent Storm, Guardians (Denjin Makai 2), Sengoku 3, and Metamorphic Force are all *amazing* titles that just seemed to never get attention when they came out, so they're _new to me_ 😄 Last couple modern beat 'em ups I bought were Shing! (which is just alright) and Mayhem Brawler (which I actually really like! Glad it did good enough to be getting a sequel), but I definitely need to try more. Gonna give the Takeover a look for sure now; that one in particular definitely catches my eye. I'm really hoping we see more _3D_ beat 'em ups start coming from indie devs this year though; 2D's had it time to shine long enough. It would be a lot cooler if 2024 finally started to see the rise of indie titles inspired by legendary 3D brawlers like Fighting Force, The Warriors, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Dynamite Cop, Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance or Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks imho. I'm only familiar with a few upcoming beat 'em up titles like Genokids, Kings of Hell and Streets of Rage Revolution that are moving into 3D though....
Hi! I know exactly what you mean. I love going through the Arcade Archives on the PS Store to see what's been re-released with save states, and so on. Finding a lost gem feels great. Talking of emulation, I recently got my hands on an Anbernic RG35XX Plus handheld console, which has around 10,000-odd classics included with its SD card(s), I'm totally blown away by how accurate the games are on this thing - brilliant screen and excellent controls. It only costs around £50-£70/$60-$80, depending on the version you go for. I'd never heard of the company until recently, but now I take the little unit everywhere. You can even plug it onto the TV and connect a Bluetooth controller. Superb device I'd recommend to any fan of retro gaming. I need to check out Mayhem Brawler, I keep hearing good things about that one. And I would LOVE a remake of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. I've still got that on the PS2 and I thought it used the characters and the world really well. I'll feature as many new (and old) beat 'em ups as I can going forward, and there are some action platformers I'm looking at now for a video. In the meantime, thanks so much for watching!
@@Video_Games_Forever Thanks for the reply! You do great work highlighting games and I'm glad I discovered the channel. Always nice to find a good source to help discover things to check out. Looking forward to your action platformers vid now too; I'm quite a fan of those as well 😉
I recently got back into Dragon's Crown a few months back and was instantly reminded why I loved it. It sank its fangs back into deep enough where I beat the first difficulty with every character and then immediately started playing through hard mode and have beaten it 3 times so far with Amazon (best character), Fighter and Wizard. And you can't forget that unfairly delicious looking food in the game. I wanna eat a dragon and the Killer Rabbit. I still can't believe that's a boss fight. I would love a sequel with some new characters, specifically a brawler/martial artist so I can punch the monsters in the face. And now I need to try out The Takeover and Fight N Rage. As for a 3D beat em up recommendation, while it might be on the older side and pretty hard to get, you can never go wrong with God Hand.
Dragon's Crown is a game that gets under your skin, isn't it? So satisfying once you get to grips with it, and I love how different the move sets are. I haven't played God Hand in ages, that's a good shout. And I hope you enjoy your new discoveries from the video. Thanks for watching!
@Video_Games_Forever The Tower of Mirages (or Illusions)? I can't remember the name. This is where the addicting nature of the game really kicks in. Just a near endless gauntlet of monster slaying.
Ninja Saviors: No bouncing lady... ginger drops bouncing. 🤣 Vanillaware really exaggerated in Dragon's Crown. The coloring is much better than the drawing. But they still do the gorgeous art without much contrast with the backgrounds, making it hard to distinguish the characters.
Ha! I know - I nearly added an extra section to the video, but I thought I was starting to overdo the point a bit! But you're right, there can be issues in Dragon's Crown when things get busy, and you don't know who is hitting who. Great game overall, though. Thanks for watching!
I can vouch for all of these excellent choices, very well picked, VGF. The only one I no longer have access to is Dragons Crown, as I no longer own a PS system. Wish they would port it to PC! You earned a subscriber with this one, good stuff.
I have _Dragon's Crown_ for Vita with 650+ hours recorded and later got _Pro_ for PS4. I'd kill for a Switch port, though I would love if they could make the equipment drops in the Tower of MIrage less random (and also shorten the tower to something reasonable -50,000 floors is ludicrous - but that might just be me).
Because making stereotypical beautiful characters offend people. They can no longer be physically beautiful. They have to be abstractly beautiful. Like with the success of Concord.
Can you tell me more about that first game you reviewed in this video? I heard you talking about it, but I was a little distracted, so I wasn't really listening... 😍
Ok, now I have to get Dragon's Crown and Midnight Fight Express. Anf if anyone wants to know: The Takeover is really good and Fight 'n' Rage absolutely fantastic
Again, enjoy the narration and presentation, but if it's not too much to ask, can you put in a chapter start for each game? I find myself going back to earlier games after watching through, to then see if I agree and want to add to my Steam wishlist or whathaveyou. So, chapters please.
Hey! Thanks for the reminder. Hopefully the chapters are showing up now - I've got the start times for each game in the description as well. I hope you enjoy the games and find a bargain on Steam! Thanks again for watching, I do appreciate it.
I love Vanillaware and have most of their games. I've rebought all their remasters. They're awesome. Fight N Rage is also awesome. The Takeover is also good but not as good as the other two. I don't have Midnight Fight Express so no comment.
FightinRage isnt only the best of these 5 games, but the best beatemup of this renaissance of the genre. And yes, im saying its better than Streets of Rage4(which i love).
I've yet to see a beat 'em up with the amount of depth that Streets of Rage brought to the genre. A huge shame Dotemu won't be handling the sequel; I'm really not into the idea of a 3D Streets of Rage. I'm still hoping for Capcom to remaster God Hand for modern consoles and PC.
Yeah, I'm a bit nervous about the upcoming 3D Streets of Rage myself, and the other SEGA reboots that are on the way. SoR4 did so well, it'd be a massive shame to go backwards again.
"...no giant bouncing lady furniture here" in walk a couple of well-endowed kunoichi with jiggling mammaries Yaksha also has the most ridiculous oversized pair in all of gaming history
Ha! To be honest, I didn't want to overdo it after the fulsome foursome in Dragon's Crown. And to be fair to her, Yaksha's wearing a perfectly sensible jumper, not iron nipple tassles.
I have to admit, I wasn't sure about the game the first time I played it, and I ended up leaving it for a while. When I came back some months later - I assume I was just in a different mood - it really started to click. It's a lot more involved and rewarding than many other beat 'em ups, even if certain things, like the runes, seem needlessly complicated at first. But hey - sometimes you just want batter people to death with a few flashy combos in a traditional brawler, and I'm fine with that, too!
I wish Vanillaware would start porting their games to PC. Even though I own the original version of Odin Sphere for the PS2, I would happily buy the updated version if it could be played on PC. I simply don't buy consoles anymore.
It definitely has some bespoke mechanics that take a minute to adjust to. You could argue that the little bloke who follows you around, gathering up treasure, is a bit superfluous. But like you say, the positives far outweigh the negatives and it gets really addictive. Thanks for watching!
@@Video_Games_Forever I like that little guy! I hate those runes and spells. I think there should also be more stages. But overall, I really love this game.
Ninja Savior is a side-scrolling Hack N' Slash, not a Beat 'em Up. If anything, Street Fighter is more "Beat 'em Up" than Ninja Savior. There's enough game content to separate videos into Hack N Slash and Beat 'Em Up.
ppl r crying out for a Dragon's Crown PC port and I've been doing the same for years sadly if that happened we'd also need to brace ourselves for the controversy and flaming war on the same level of Stellar Blade if not worse

I tried playing Dragons Crown. It was so goddamn complicated, I just gave up. Just give me a true old school beat em up.
I have to admit, I wasn't sure about the game the first time I played it, and I ended up leaving it for a while. When I came back some months later - I assume I was just in a different mood - it really started to click. It's a lot more involved and rewarding than many other beat 'em ups, even if certain things, like the runes, seem needlessly complicated at first.
But hey - sometimes you just want batter people to death with a few flashy combos in a traditional brawler, and I'm fine with that, too!
I'd pay good money for Dragon's Crown on PC
That's a pretty common request, and understandable. Vanillaware/Atlus, are you listening?!
I wish Vanillaware would start porting their games to PC. Even though I own the original version of Odin Sphere for the PS2, I would happily buy the updated version if it could be played on PC. I simply don't buy consoles anymore.
River City Ransom Underground and River City Girls 1 e 2 are the best.
Yeah, I like the River City Girls games. I think the recent sequel is particularly good.
Haa! 4:49
Is that SS3 Ken from Dragon Street Ball Fighter Alpha Z?
😄👍
Looks like he's also a bit of a 80s rock fan, too! Bon Jovi would be proud.
@@Video_Games_Forever Haa! Yeah, Slippery When Wet and and all that. He'd fit right in if they were all on stage at the same time.
😄👍
Knights of Veda, best!
I haven't played that one, but the artworks looks great.
me and a friend actually playing dragons crown in 2024 ^^
I'm very pleased to hear that. I need to start a new run soon myself and experiment with one or two new weapons. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!
I don't think the comparison of ronda roussey and stormy daniels does vanillaware's visuals justice. That's a horrible combo!
Ha! I think you're right, to be fair. Vanillaware are indeed great artists. Thanks for watching!
Crimson gem saga is the best rpg for PSP.
Dragon's crown is great. It has some very weird mechanics that just dont work.
But the game is awesome
It definitely has some bespoke mechanics that take a minute to adjust to. You could argue that the little bloke who follows you around, gathering up treasure, is a bit superfluous. But like you say, the positives far outweigh the negatives and it gets really addictive.
Thanks for watching!
@@Video_Games_Forever I like that little guy!
I hate those runes and spells.
I think there should also be more stages.
But overall, I really love this game.
You play Dragon's crown for booby I play Dragon's crown for dwarven supremacy.
We are different.
Ha! I really like the dwarf, actually. He's my character of the moment.
So uhh, what is Dragon's Crown available on?
Just curious.😅👍
Ha! Good old Vanillaware. They do like their... 'engaging' art!
Hopefully dragons crown comes to the switch
Street of rage 4 and huntdown.
For what system is dragon crown pro? Is there a way to get this working on a PSP emulator?
Hello! It's for PS4. Interesting question about the emulator, I'm not sure. I bet someone will know, though.
Vanillaware games shd totally be ported to the PC
Ninja Savior is a side-scrolling Hack N' Slash, not a Beat 'em Up.
If anything, Street Fighter is more "Beat 'em Up" than Ninja Savior.
There's enough game content to separate videos into Hack N Slash and Beat 'Em Up.
ppl r crying out for a Dragon's Crown PC port and I've been doing the same for years
sadly if that happened we'd also need to brace ourselves for the controversy and flaming war on the same level of Stellar Blade if not worse
Can you get Dragon's Crown for PC yet???
Not yet, sadly.
*cough cough* emu *cough* lator (I do own the game on PSN so must be legal?)
Give us Dragon's Crown Pro on PC!
No Pure Onyx?
Ah, now that's a different video...
How to play dragon crown on pc?
I play Dragon´s Crown for the story
The story:
No Jitsu Squad?
Great shout, love that game. Maybe that one will turn up in my next beat 'em up video...
River city girls!
