Ugh. There is no franchise on the planet that I want a revival for more than this one, no matter how pointless that hope may be. So goddamn underrated.
Agreed
Dawg I'd give my big toe if they'd at least make a remake of one of the first two. Another game would be awesome
Haha, “revival.” I see what you did there.
@@Chubby_Bubby I'll admit, I still bring and use a drill for cleaning fossils when playing Frontier, albeit mostly for fossils like Edapho, Dimetro, most long-necked vivosaurs, and light durability rocks (read: easily broken by high power tools) and such, as those are easy 100-point excavations. I still understand how cleaning was butchered in Frontier, as well as everything else about it, but I believe is a massive case of "good idea, poor execution" as well as viewing Frontier as "wasted potential incarnate" regarding story.
I wish the same for it and Spectrobes as well.
Such an underrated gem, hope it makes a comeback
Holy crap I’ve been playing the Fossil Fighters games for a decade and I only learned today that when the medals gleam, that means they can use a team skill together. Wow! Great vid, it’s always awesome to see people talking about this criminally underrated game series! :D
Thank You so much! I put alot of effort into these videos, and it's always nice to hear someone enjoys the video.
As for Fossil Fighters it's such a fun creative series, I really hope it comes back in some way shape or form in the future! Either a new game or some inspired by it would be perfect 👌
You're telling me. I was using the hammer to clear away dust all this time when I could've just pressed L and R? Crazy.
The medals gleaming will make it so much easier to team build than having to actually test each one in battle.
I loved that the BB Brigade had skeletal dinosaurs as opposed to regular ones, even if they were just evil team grunts having them made them feel more expressive even if they were the same 7 mixed about
As a person who played Fossil Fighters & Champions to death when they were younger, I truly miss this series. I still have my games and continue to dig up bones and see what Dinosaurs I get. My favorite Vivosaur is Teffla from Champions. Amazing series and videos of one of my favorite games!
I wish I experienced these games as a kid. I would've been obsessed 😭 BTW that's a great favorite 🦋 mine personally is spinax!
@Chubby_Bubby Amazing choice. Ngl as a kid I completely disregarded the story saying "Who is this skeleton man and why is he stopping me from advancing? Oh well time to get Dinos!" And kept pushing through. It was literally years later thar I realized this game had a story 😭😭
Would like to see Zongazonga as a boss in Super Smash 6 if it gets made.
27:37 If you talk with a Dinaurian during the disguised segment of the Starship, they'll explain that the Dinaurians' battle forms are advanced holographic combat tech. The reason only the big three have the ability to transform is that the technology is still in a prototype phase.
It's like the "real solid vision" from the Yugioh anime. Similar holographic technology is what gives the vivosaurs physical form from their medals. So the holographic technology the Dinaurians have is basically a transformation, but not really.
I never even thought to talk to any of them...
I prefer to think they can transform ya know?
I'd like to head canon that older generations of Dinaurians had the ability to transform. But lost it over time due to losing their planet.
I picked up the first Fossil Fighters when I was in early middle school because I liked dinosaurs and wanted something similar to my loved Pokemon.
I distinctly remember my mom taking my DS away for the night and I specifically waited until she fell asleep to grab it because I was in the Dinaurian's spaceship and I NEEDED to defeat King Dynal. To this day, a dozen years later, it holds the position as one of two games to keep me up all night (Fossil Fighters and Kingdom Hearts), which is a feat because I love my sleep lol
Still adore and still occasionally play the first and second game to this day. Frontier? ...well, I gave it a solid 6-10 hour attempt, then I gave it to a friend who wanted to try it out. We both agreed it was best to just throw it in a dark corner of the closet. I think they still have it, but maybe they sold it. I couldn't care less lol.
For the champions story twist, I remember playing it as a kid and being completely caught off guard. I assumed Joe just lived such a busy life he wouldn't remember us, and Barebones recognized us from tournament coverage
Thats a good point, I remeber them planting those ideas in the story to help hide the twist better.
Honestly to add onto this 'Don Boneyard' making threats to his admins never really struck me as more than 'yo stupid what made you think that was smart' only done with more bone puns and a bit of your dad asking if you're okay mixed in. Like I know it's never shown anywhere but it's a vibe I get. The admins are just scared of having a father figure be temporarily disappointed with them. Joe having a go at the islands themselves could even be explained as him being scared of what could happen if Zongazonga breaches containment and going to an extreme measure driven more by fear in that moment and making a bad call (nobody's perfect).
His lies are also not really all that deep, since he just didn't want everyone to freak all the way out by saying anything too revealing that he'd been body snatched... As umm... How do you think the public would take that? Either laugh it off or get really freaked out.
As someone who has own and played all three Fossil Fighters games growing up I truly do believe that this series deserves a second chance of life again and more games made. Am glad the love for this series hasn’t extinguished and fallen into true obscurity. Am happy some people are talking about this series and truly hope Nintendo does revive the series again someday.
God I loved fossil fighters. Happy to see someone talk about it in youtube.
There's still a very lively community on it, I know I got plans for another champions series.
and we play for another game, maybe a remake?
Watching this has made me wanna make a Fossil Fighters RPG campaign, the original Fossil Fighters was one of the very first DS games I got when I got my DSi on Christmas and I will always treasure this series till the day I die.
Awesome retrospective, this was the reason I bought Frontier even with all the downside, this is a game part of a series that should not be forgotten.
I'm glad I convinced somebody to give Frontier an honest try. But at the same time I'm scared that it's downsides might make you not enjoy it. 😅
You'll have to let me know how u like the game so I know whether or not to keep CATIOUSLY recommended it people.
@@Chubby_Bubby Don't worry to much it's mostly for collection sake and even if I don't enjoy it too much, it's still an interesting piece nonetheless.
In the end, I actually also got champion on the DS so it evens out haha
@@HiroEmblem Thank Goodness 😮💨
I almost teared up when I heard the opening theme for Fossil Fighters DS. That shit was my childhood
It would be very controversial, yet so cool if they made a Fossil Fighters game on the switch that incorporated undocking it and using the touch screen to clean fossils. Like if in-universe, your character is also doing that to a touch screen interface.
That sounds really cool tbh, but I could only play it in handheld cause I'd be too lazy to get off the couch every time 💺🦥
Seriously, just go on to the Fossil Fighters subreddit and you'll see how much Fossil Fighters: Frontier is hated amongst the people on there.
It actually has a unique charm that’s is for sure different from the other two but I still love it.
Dude, you're unleashing memories I had nearly forgotten of as a child, now being a college student. The adult jokes that always stopped just shy of toeing the RUclips line, then commenting on it being a child's game were always funny. You seriously opened my eyes a bit as well to some of the finer points of the games' plot and design aspects as well, since it's been so long, and I appreciate them a lot more now that I'm older. Like many others, I am one of the few dreaming about a revival (ha ha, get it?) of this series in some capacity, even if it is for tomorrow's generations. You know what, if it's not out in 10 years, who knows, I am studying Video Game Design after all. . .
This franchise was such a big part of my life and it is so nice to see people giving it the love that it deserves. Even now, i itch to play FFC in new runs with new teams and restrictions
As a gremlin I was obsessed with dinos. I read every book in the school library and public library over dinosaurs. Fossil fighters fueled that obsession and I remember making fossil fighters themed school projects
Fossil fighters and fossil fighters champions will go down as some of the best games of all time in my book
As a long-time Fossil Fighters fan, I love how well this video acts as an introduction for people who aren't familiar to this series but also a revisit for those who are. This series is what got me into video games at all and I'll always love it for it. The first 2 games are my favorites and I'll always stand for them, and as much as I ignore the existence of the 3rd it does have its positives. I'm glad this video exists since it reminds me that there are still passionate FF fans around, and hopefully we get a new game in the future.
Also that meme at the end was well worth it lmao
Was randomly thinking about fossil fighters and just finished watching your retrospective on the first one.
Seeing this got posted 6 hours ago brought a smile to my face :’)
Your welcome ;)
I think a good replacement for the vehicles that keeps the usage but doesn't make people mad about cars is to just have dino mounts, and giving them little saddlebags for the tools and stuff
as a paleo nerd, it amazes me how much care they put on not just the battle strategies, but also the designs of the vivosaurs that are referenced by their name, where their fossils located, and their strange history (seriously, i could go on and on about these designs)
ok, maybe one which is the T-rex
for a game made in 2008, this is one the very first portrayals of feathers in a t-rex, also adding more personality on it by making the feathers into a fiery mohawk (i know recent discoveries show t- rex has little feathers, but its just that many movies and games just portray so many rexes with the same scaly template).
Its very unfortunate that i got frontier bcuz i miss the series so much, only to be met with so much dissappointment and annoying mechanics mandatory on your playthrough. Not to mention the cut roster and butchering their designs (i feel sorry for the hadrosaurs in this game, their basically giant rubber duckies, once again a terrible example of making hadrosaurs look useless and harmless when thats not the case.)
brother, the fact that you made a 2 hour long video about fossil fighters just fills me with joy. Just hearing you talk about the positives of the first 2 games is awesome. keep up this video format
WE FOSSIL FIGHTER FANS WILL LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS FRANCHISE SHALL NEVER GO EXTINCT IN OUR HEARTS!!!!!
*3 HOUR LONG FOSSIL FIGHTERS VIDEO IN 2023 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO*
as a long time fan of the series, it's refreshing to see someone praise Todd's character in champions. I always thought he was super overhated and had really cool development.
I will never fail to get a gleeful smile each time I'm reminded that Nevada Montecarlo is a fusion between Indiana Jones and Carmen Sandiego.
Two of the best games of all time...and frontier
God I hope that wasn't the finale please let spike make a good one
This was one of my favorite DS games. I never had anyone else to play them with but I’m glad to find other people like them as well. This video really brings me back. Thanks for explain frontier because I never got to play that one!
I did a video like this myself a few years back, it's such a great game.
The fact even over a DECADE later, we're still talking, making videos on it, let's playing it just...that speaks to the power of this game.
Much love, and many thanks for making this, and showing this series is still alive.
41:23 Imagine if instead of diga-dig talk and turning into a mouse being separate problems, Rosie turns and starts squeaking in diga-dig too
In order to start the yeti quest you have to randomly find the creature while digging on Coldfeet Glacier. Only once you’ve randomly seen it can you start the quest.
As soon as you made the "I have a type " joke, I laughed a lot, because that's so absurd... Then I cried because it actually did that to me.
Never found a game similar to this one, in its own lane for sure
Trying to find all 3 of these now. Thank you for bringing this series to light!
Don't be afraid to emulate this stuff, man. As someone who has all three physically it's a fun time either way and emulation is alot easier on that wallet!
@@Chubby_Bubby we can only get one of them here it turns out. Though it's the third one, so I'm guessing the most 'brushed up' of the lot. For under 10 bucks, absolute score. Just waiting on the mail man. I've still got some your video to get through, but which would you say is the best? I think DS can play other region carts iirc so the others are still possible. I can't wait to play whilst waiting for Zelda and CoreKeepers end the month.
Oooof, core memories unearthed and revived.
I first found out about this gem of a series with the Wii Shop download demo (does anybody even remember that existed?), and I instantly fell in love. I must have been no older than 10 years old.
Anyways, I really like the... uh, "colorful" way you explain things you don't like, and I 100% agree on almost everything you said about them! Though I was kinda expecting you to gush about the Vivosaur's designs, but still! 3 *HOURS* of Fossil Fighters content to revive (heh) my love for the first two (and only) games.
Also, 10/10 puns. As a pun enthusiast, you actually got me to say "ugh" out loud. Congrats, that got you a new sub!
came for fossil fighters, stayed for u. great video man i enjoyed all of it :)
Thank You So Much! :)
This inspired me to pick up Fossil Fighters again and truly upgrade my star team again to 100% it. Genuinely the most fun I've had in weeks
you've got the time travel bit with frontier a little mixed up - the reason why we don't see any changes is because Tria always goes back in time to stop Dreadraven - but that still needs to happen, Tria just can't sit idle thinking that dreadraven failed. Otherwise it's a paradox
OTHERWISE FANTASTIC VID BRO love your passion for these games. I'm sure fossil fighters will come back one day in all its glory.
I love this series, and have so many memories with it. Back in like 2018, after not playing the game for a decade, my friends and I were discussing nostalgic games, and found out we played the same game. The thing is, we hadn’t! I had played the original thinking it was the only FF, and they had played Champions thinking it’s the only FF, so they got really confused when I mentioned the human-dinosaur hybrid aliens and their giant planet eater
2:03:09 -ish
This is a moment where I go, "Why not both?" Because both being able to walk/run around and dig up fossils at a location and being able to drive around and see dinos appeal to me.
Haven't gotten around to playing frontier but saw some walkthroughs and I honestly thought about this when I saw the gameplay, the bone buggies would be a great feature for the dig sites if implemented differently.
They could have made all the dig sites mainly cater to the bone buggies but have walking sections that are more "off the path" that reward you for exploration or skillful driving (maybe you need an upgraded vehicle to access some of them). It could also remove the pay to dig sites that were in the first two games and I think it would be an improvement as it would feel more earned than paying a fee after a point in the story. They could also design the walking places so that the fossils are still in the walls and you carry limited equipment to make cleaning more challenging which would ideally match the player's skill as they progress in the game.
Or they could also just make fossil cleaning happen at the dig sites and remove the whole "running back and forth" mechanic in the first games.
I don't like the rogue vivosaurs though, I think they would be good for story beats or side quests, but they feel too much like wild pokemon to me.
Frontiers threw some good ideas out there but man, it sucks that it was held back by glaring issues.
every couple of years or so just the thought of a fossil fighters sequel gets me so excited... The switch is near the end of its cycle and no new game.. but just when i give up hope my interest is "revived" and i can't help but still continue to fight for it.
Growing up I really loved dinosaurs, Like alot. I remember watching my brother play ff1 and champions and would sometimes mess around on his save. When Frontier came out I thought it was weird and didn't bother with finishing it. Sometime last year I remembered the game and decided to replay the first for nostalgia. I was blown away by it stood up. I really loved every thing about it. It's kinda sad that it's not that popular because of how just fun it is. Hopefully Nintendo will bless us with a game on the next console.
Also in the part about champions where you there mention being no dinaurians, You can battle Duna but I think it's locked to dlc.
Final thing great video ❤
As a monster fanatic, I'm always on the prowl for new series to get into. This one kind of gives me a Monster Rancher vibe in a way, so I think I'll give it a shot at some point. Though I may steer clear of the third one - don't really like the sound of not being able to control all of my party members in battle.
I've actually not tried monster rancher myself so I can't speak to how nuch FF is too it. But I hope enjoy the series if you get into it.
i can't blame you on that third one, frontiers is a rough game. That I'd only recommend if somebody was already interested in the series or intersted in an "okay" mariokart/pokemon hybrid.
I'm doing a nuzlock style playthrough in champions and omg. This game is so special
As an Australian, I cant tell you how sad I was Sydney never came back. I turned my accent up 10 notches are read his dialoguem with such glee, it almost made the game a 4/10 experience for me.
Between this game and spectrobes, I miss the whole "dig up fossils, revive, fight monsters" game design 😭 when will an indie dev give us a good spiritual successor a la stardew for harvest moon
Fossil fighters frontier is my childhood! Played it a lot and still play it, all thanks to my friend who gave me it. These games are truly Classics! In fact, I’m playing it as I comment this.
At first I was hyped for another FF video from you then I realized it was the collection of them. Either way always a good watch, also I respect the one piece referemce 50:08
I have a few ideas for some more FF content. But as far as reviews go this is sadly it til we get a new game. Which I hope happens one day.
Also hell yeah peak fiction ☠️
@Chubby Another game would be a gift from the heavens, sadly the franchise is on life support. Keep up the great content :)
Seeing people still making Fossil Fighters content in 2023 warms my heart and drives me insane in such a positive way.
I’ve been working on my current FFC save file to complete the entire fossil index (which means completing the skeleton of EVERY Vivosaur (that is possible for me to get to)) and that undertaking is currently tiding me over while I hope and pray for more content.
If Fossil Fighters gets revived (pun intended) I will be so incredibly happy.
Thank you for making these videos! It was so nice to hear someone (that isn’t me, for once) talking about the little dinosaur series that’s so dear to me. ( ´∀｀)
You downloaded the extra data from the fan run Wi-Fi connection right?
@@pablothememer8686 I did! I’m ridiculously happy to see the Dinaurians again. I had the DLC stuff legitimately on my original cartridge, but it unfortunately got lost a long time ago. I’m super grateful to the people that created the fan-run connection for allowing me to get it back!
I love fossil fighters so much. The first 2 games made my childhood. Thank you for the great retrospective.
Honestly love how my prior experience with Spectrobes and Spectrobes Beyond The Portals played into my love for these games
I got the 1st Fossil Fighters game as my very first DS game, and I've been hanging on to it ever since.
Loved the video. keep up the good work. Man, I really wish fossil fighters would make a comeback.
I loved your commentary, I would love to watch you play these games.
My boyfriend introduced me to this game (he's had it since he was in middle school) and I can confidently say that it is AMAZING I haven't finished it yet, tho lol but so far it's great just a little grind-y lolol
Came back to give this another watch, might have to give fossil fighters another run a well! Great video!
Thank You!
Frontier was only one released in Europe so its the only one I've played. Played through it 3 times when it first game out and I called it my favourite video game ever made
Thanks for explaining why the community doesn't like it, i never really knew why. Hopefully I can get to the rest of the series someday soon
(Also yeah my profile is very subtle)
I got the first game in the series by sheer luck. My mom was looking for dinosaur games on the DS because either Christmas or my birthday was coming up (I don't remember which atm) or maybe because she just wanted to expand my game list... I can't really remember I was like... 11? Maybe? She was looking at the local GameStop invventory on her computer (Back when they were pretty reputable compared to now.) to see what was in stock. Originally I wanted to get Dino Pets for the ds and she went to get it because there was like only one copy, the guy at the store steered her away telling her it received a lot of bad reviews. Instead he recommended Fossil Fighters, something more engaging and I think she did mention I was playing pokemon and mystery dungeon at the time, so I was familiar with turn based combat. So she bought it and told me why I didn't get Dino Pets, case and point I ended up loving the game! I never finished it, I got stonewalled at Duna's fight at the Volcano. I did end up asking for the sequels so I have physical copies of all three games. I'm currently replaying FFC to finish it because if the whole 3DS wifi shut-down. I have the DLC, but I still want to see this game to the end :). What I find really neat if you played FF first is it teaches you to clean better! Before every rank up match you have to clean a fossil to a certain minimum level which increases over time. While it never gets above 80 points, usually by then you get so detailed and quick you start naturally cleaning to 90+ points on a regular. As for the buster probes.... the bigger/more to clean fossils don't have buster points..... so you can't use buster probes on em. Not all regular fossils have buster points either and you can find buster points without the probe if ur lucky/careful enough.
What was really funny when I revived Carno for the first time in FF, I got so excited I ran downstairs to show my parents.... thing was... I Was supposed to be sleeping! Not playing my video games!
Final note: Your cleaning scares me... I cringe so much at your recklessness.
I would say Ty Ranno and Trip Cera are both Dinaurians, probably.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this video until today, love this franchise and really enjoying the video
Dood. thank You. i loved the origional and champions i remember spending months trying to find all the fossils for my team and working on battle strategies its nice to see a viedo like this and having ALL my old memories come back. thank you agian
im so glad to see fossil fighters come years later its honestly so amazing
I love this series and I still have all the games and play them occasionally
I'm so impressed by how a fully 3d full length dinosaur turn based rpg was able to make two full games (one with improved graphics and animation quality) on the itty bitty ds system. I really hope they revive this franchise with a new game like the first and second one, frontiers was such a let down
Fossil Fighters and FFC especially has a special place in my heart. I remember my father picking up the first game used at Gamestop when I was probably around eight or nine, and I was hooked the moment I saw you could make dinosaurs fight other dinos. Must've done at least ten playthroughs of FFC over the years, loved using a team of Deltadromeus, Sinosauropteryx, and mah boi Compsothagnus, cause this comp really stressed using the battling system in FFC to it's fullest, rewarding good positioning and elemental matchups, and all three having FP boost made it a lot of fun to keep blasting out team skills or Sopteryx's 100% confuse move.
Also since I was reading Animorphs at the time I was convinced the Dinaurians being able to turn into combat forms was a physical thing, not holograms, and I thought the holograms were limited to human disguises.
Rambling aside this game was a major part of my childhood and while I never played Frontiers cause I didn't like the vibe and the cars for some reason, I always love seeing people remembering the games fondly, and I'd absolutely grab a FFC remake if it ever happens.
As someone who has put in probably over 800 hours into this game since I was 7. I LOVE THIS GAME! For the comparable Pokémon game I was playing at the time, black and white, this game’s was incredible in comparison!
Let me clarify, loved gen 5, one of my favorite Pokémon games, but damn this game was great.
for champions the dinorians are dlc quests where after you beat them in order you get them in order and the robo dino
Seeing this brings me so much nostalgia because it is very good
They did actually renew the ip for fossil fighters which is interesting, also ive heard theres a modernized fan game in development but with Nintendo we'll see how that goes
I think he forgot to mention the announcers in battle it’s not even like madden level commentary but it’s funny and cute and makes the game super endearing
I was waiting to finish my first playthrough of Frontier to watch your retrospective on it. Looks like I’ll have to wait a little longer since I’m 100% watching this video despite watching the other 2 parts already lol
I appreciate the support! I hope you enjoy Frontier even if it's rough around the edges....
I have such fond memories of Champions, and I had gotten Frontiers and the original after but didn't finish either of them I don't think. Now all these years after I remembered the game and I've gotten so hype to try and go back to play them all. Its so nice to see someone cover content from this game, I loved Champions a lot and I hope to have fun actually playing through the other two, though I am considering maybe going Frontiers>Original>Champions or even just reverse chronologic order instead of chronological order cuz I wanna end the marathon on a high note. Thank you for covering this and I'm probably gonna come back to watch so I can see the spoiler sections after my runs!
Excellent retrospective. You perfectly articulated my thoughts on the series. Keep up the great work!
I never got around to playing Champions or Frontier, but the original Fossil Fighters was always one of my favorite games growing up. Seeing this video pop into my suggested was a pleasant surprise and its nice to see that there's still an active community for the series. Hope one day we can eventually get a revival that lives up to the original!
I actually liked the Barebones joke but thats me. 😅
go crazy fam. This was such a fun retrospective that made me relive lots of very old memories. You grew in your editing and you are certainly a very creative individual. Great job you fossil fighter you
Also holy fuck I never related so much with Todd until this video stated his entire character arc plainly dayum
Yeah it was pretty odd to me when doing the research for this video. That I didn't see anyone really discussing how obvious of a theme champions seems to have. "Facing your fears" is an aspect of most of the character's arcs in champions, and it was especially apparent with Todd!
I'm glad someone else could also relate with the lil green king, I still rep him as the best "friend" character in all of monster taming! 😤 #nocap #frfr #onzonga
@@Chubby_BubbyI honestly loved the whole “facing your fears” concept, not just with Todd (the most obvious example and the only one I really thought much about in that lens) but with EVERYTHING about champions. Learning something new about these games even a decade later; I’m surprised I didn’t notice the overarching theme of the game earlier (I was a dumb kid I didn’t connect the dots lol) but it just further secures it as my favorite in the series
@@Chubby_Bubby also the fact that green is my favorite color, he uses primarily air types, major anxiety but still picks fights, getting left out of friend group camping trips half the time, getting jealous FOR being left out, like bruh me fr fr
One of the most underrated games
oh my god i thought i hallucinated the three hour fossil fighter analysis, it showed up once in my recs then disappeared!
i love the first two games to death-- frankly when I first played champions I thought the plot was so short. like beating the final boss of champions felt like the legendary fight halfway in the first game-- a good fight, sure, but it missed the significantly better latter half of the plot! todd is a real one no matter what though 💯
my favorite conspiracy theory: joe the medal dealer from the first game is actually joe wildewest in the second. we already saw him beginning to turn his life around by selling real fossils. he cleaned up his life and, as a lifelong thespian, commited to the wild west bit. I have no evidence for this but i believe it in my heart
I like that theory alot actually, "Joe wildwest, bandit turned folk hero~" bet that would make a killer movie trilogy in the FF universe lol.
ALSO TODD IS THE REALEST ONE OF ALL TIME!!
Just found my old copy of Fossil Fighters Champions, and saying it near my phone summoned this to my recommended and I have never been so happy my phone spied on me
Finally, someone who likes the bone buggies! I was a fan of the series since the first game and I still liked them. Shame that the battle system killed all enjoyment I got from driving around.
We really close to an amazing game, and then the carpet was swept right out with that battle system. You'd think remaking all the models would've been so much work you'd at least keep the most well rounded part the same but "~No~".
to this day you are the only person i've ever seen who actually likes the intro song for frontier
What can I say, It's just got that melody too it 🎶
this is activating so many childhood memories...i wish i still had my og copy. i remember the final fight being like stupid hard for me as a child, and i dont know if i ever actually beat it, wish i could give it a shot on my og hardware!
Just bought champions for 100 but i lost it so in my mind worth every cent.
I'm so sorry 😔 on the bright side. Emulation is free, and the rom hacking scene seems to be starting to bloom, so who knows 🤷♂️
my discord mates all tell me to give up on this series ever getting the remake it deserves so much, but i will always hope that one day more people get to experience this hidden gem. i loved both the first two games and i cant wait for the day i get to gloat that i was right
1:18:11 the shortening of the real dino names is one of the points of the series. As a learning game. While stylized all the design convey the real dino they are based on to teach kids actual dinosaur info. The shortening is so kids can learn the real names the actual real info the dino is based on in the library/fossilary too. It made the names of the dinos more memorable both in the game and in real life
Figured out the wildwest twist when i was in the lobby of the colloseum walking over to face rupert. I was thinking of nothing then BAM!!! Realisation slap to the face. I was happy when a few min later it really did happen😂
I just realized i brute forced my way through the Chapions story, post story, and NG+ without ANY Vivisaur upgrades .-.
How did 8 year old me pull that off in 2 days from a Family Video rental?!
WHAT?! You don't want a fire lizard named after the Red Comet himself?!
For shame!
Really need this game to come back. It’s too good to be left behind
As someone who didn't have any nostalgia for the first games and who's already into racing games and cars, Frontier was pretty awesome and remains to be my favorite game
Frontiers is a really interesting game. Cause though it falls short in what makes Fossil Fighters, it makes up for it with some fairly interesting ideas. I'd love too see in a new title!
I played championship with my best friend this is the first i have heared about cleaning together. We just did glarious battle.
Fine, i'll play fossil fighters champions for the 1000th time 😒
I found my old cartridge of the game and I’m about to replay it because I want to relive all the fun I had while playing it.
Frontiers honestly has over half the problems connected to the cars. Seriously the car system could’ve worked if instead the car towed around a mobile lab
3 hours spent right! Loved every minute of this video
Just remake champions on switch, use the joy cons as fossil digging tools, boom perfection
I've been playing these games for over a decade and I never knew about clearing the dust with L/R. Thanks!
I love that you still advertise the idea I propose of the steam backgrounds I still think they look awesome!
The OST in og Fossil Fighters is incredible. Dynal's theme is the best song in the game.
