YES! God this game it's sequel Champions are gems... we don't speak of the third installment in the series
Wesley Darnell It's like the Gomp in the room.
In that it's basically just a less good Mammoth.
AMEN SIR!!!
It's a good game. It just doesn't hold up to its predecessors
Nutella Dinosaur it's pretty good, but the designs are just god awful. Why did they turn dimetro into a strawberry shortcake and charchar into a walking squash?!
cheesygamer >walking squash
I'm using that one now. You are a fucking comedic genius. My sides are in another dimension.
First game, "wow! This is really cool! I hope the more or them!"
Second game, "holy shit! This is even better than the first one!"
Third game, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NINTENDO?!!?"
Exactly my reactions
First game you fight aliens second game you fight a god third game no one gives a shit
I compare the FF series to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon one. The first game is good, the second game is amazing, and the third is a shitshow with half the available battlers to play with and a shitty story. Lol
I played the third one and while I liked the story and the driving around the dig site mechanic, I certainly didn't like the new battle mechanics. I understand it was for 'teamwork' inside the game but I had been really excited about being able to command three Vivosaurs that belonged to me; not someone else with just one of them being mine.
I was Thinking in buy the 3ds one tellme what is wrong
Fossil Fighters is a fantastic gem of a series with a great story, characters, romance and a unique battle style I hope it comes back and similar to the first one and champions!
Kinu FoxySpirit Glad you specify that it should be similar to the first two, Frontier was a disaster.
From my knowledge, Champions did a fantastic job with it's cameos. It seems that Champions was Fossil Fighters in it's prime state. What I'd love to see is a new game with the same story of the first game with all the mechanics from Champions and the vivosaurs as well.
Daniel Dawn All of my yes
I agree I think Frontier was a disappointment.
Jesse Gartung YES IT WAS!!!
The original maybe hasnt aged that well, but Champions was honestly one of the DS's best games. Improved everything the first introduced, and the story wasnt half bad after you consider how silly it is.
I'd really like a remake of Champions for the 3DS, improve the visuals, change some of the writing, and add Online battling, and you got yourself a hit.
Roberto del Fuego Nah the first was better. The cell-shade graphics have aged MUCH better than the more realistic (for a dinosaur game on the DS) graphics. The battle system is also much better. In Champions, sleep and confusion skills break the game, and many vivisaurs, like Compso, who had niches because of their support effects, were nerfed into the ground and turned completely useless. I also preferred the starry of the first game because it never took itself seriously and knew exactly what it was. I mean, you save your girlfriend, who has been turned to stone from a teleporter malfunction, by rapidly shaking your hips to tribal music. If there was one thing that was better in the sequel it’s the characters.
I personally think Champions is better. Graphics are about on par between the two, although I personally prefer how Champions was framed, and the battle system itself is much more interesting and intricate. Sleep and confusion are both too good in games where options are restricted too much, but both had problems in the original, too, and Compso still does have a niche, it's just not one strong enough to break the game in half. He's more targetable, sure, and now there's actual counterplay to it, but it's impossible to say that he's actually really bad in Champions when no meta really developed around the game.
Roberto del Fuego 3rd sucked
Roberto del Fuego dude champions is the bomb I chose aero as my starter which one did u choose
@@hoonty4890 1st playthrough aero, 2nd was dimetrodon
I'm glad to see somebody else knows about this game!
Now that I think about it, I really need to replay this game...
JungleB I TOTALLY feel you!!
I thought I was the only one that knew this game existed, lol. 😂😂
when I was cleaning through some stuff and found the original Fossil Fighters game, I literally burst into tears🤣😅
Im almost done replaying it for the third time after like 7 years
JungleB agreed
I am dying from nostalgia after watching this, time to download an emulator
Carson Henley illegal
Carson Henley one thing that sucks is that you blow off the dust and its kinda hard to see
Carson Henley if you hammer on a spot where it has nothing it will get rid of some dust, just saying
Ethan F99 yeah, but what about the dust in the middle?
Carson Henley I own a physical copy of champions though, still play it regularly
a GEM worth DIGGING up?
better bring my vivosaurs, some random dude from gamestop is gonna pop up and request a fossil battle
Paradox I never back down/give reasonable prices for game returns, no matter what! THAT is the honor of a Fossil Fighter/GameStop Employee.
DrakoxRising Then fight! *sends out Nycto, Lugmos, and a silver Tophis*
Paradox *Replies with Aeros, Heracles, and a Blue Menchi*
DrakoxRising *fp plus activates* Okay! Tophis, use Tophis Hiss on Heracles! *Tophis uses Tophis hiss.*
Paradox Tbh that has never gotten the OHKO on me before, nor has Dunkle Down.
Fossil Fighters= Banjo Kazooie
Fossil Fighters Champions= Banjo Tooie
Fossil Fighters Frontier= Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
Weedle Gaming yep exactly
Weedle Gaming Frontier is literally nothing like Nuts and Bolts.
Nutella Dinosaur The joke is that both series had 2 really good games then a car-based sequel that was pretty meh
Fossil fighters frontier = mario kart
m rizqy abd Mario kart is fun.
A shame the nintendo wifi for old gens is cut. You could have gotten neat fossils in either DS game, such as the dino aliens from the first game to play in Champions. Still a fun game.
Charles Caulkins
Ha! I still have my save files from when that was around!
yeam me too but then i realized that im missing two dinos that are excusively at one area that you can only go once at soooo i need to get the fist game
@@sharkattack9113 which area and which fossils?
Fossil Fighters Champions was one of the fights DS games I’ve ever played. I still play it
This series really needs a comeback from frontiers, hopefully it doesn't get forgotten
YESSS!! THIS IS THE EPISODE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHINING SOME LIGHT ON THIS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED GAME!
Munkee Haruka ikr
This was a very underrated game :c
The Cheify Studios So true. To this very day, I'm still hoping and waiting for an anime.
I remember first seeing the commercial for Fossil Fighters. Oh man i really wanted that game. Sure, the story is silly, but it's nice. I didn't even know the second came out till a friend mentioned it, then got a copy for me. It kept most of the same things from the first game. Animations got a bit better and more detailed, more vivosaurs added, as well as an amazing new combat system, making strategy even more important.
Then the third came along. Due to it being for the 3DS, it didn't utilize all the amazing things the first two did for the touch screen. You clean, and work out menus/fossilary/look at moves... But Fossil Fighters did basically everything on the lower screen, and Frontier does barely anything with the lower screen. Hell, even battling really sucks, different kind of strategy is needed, but all you really need is a high attack vivosaur like Pyro Yutie or T-Rex Sue. I would highly recommend Fossil Fighters and Fossil Fighters Champions.
Fossil Fighters needs to make a comeback on the Nintendo Switch!😎 The 3rd game is the one we don't like to talk about.😑
could we trouble you to also cover the sequel?
Please do.
Seconded, Champions is straight fire
UNCL de la Dunkle Actually I chose Aeros tho
DrakoxRising same mate
I really loved the first two Fossil Fighters games, and honestly, I still do.
Frontier? Let's just pretend that never happened...
Finally someone acknowledges this criminally underrated game!
Your wrong, the fossil fighters cleaning system isn’t similar to the one in Pokemon, it’s the other way around. They got it from fossil fighters.
Spectrobes also had the fossil digging feature too.
I miss the Spectrobe games. I'm sad they didn't make anymore after Origins. I've really gotta buy the series again.
Super happy you did a video of this hidden DS gem ❤
Fossil Fighters is a very good game with amazing with great characters and a good story!
I don't count fossil fighters frontiers as a fossil fighters game
Never played the original, but I loved everything about the second game. Never played the third, heard it wasn't a good :/
Dreddick123 the first was amazing, the second mostly improved on the first (combat system was changed drastically) and the 3rd was mariokart
Dreddick123 the third is harder than the first times actually if u wanna have a challenge that's the game to go to also it has some of the best music I've ever heard
Daniel Law champions is the best it added so much just to be stripped away in frontier I even preordered the game and was heavily disappointed.
Definitely spend some money on the first one. It's not as good as Champions, but it's pretty close. The battle system isn't as difficult, though.
Frontier is fine on its own, but doesn't live up to its predecessors thanks to some glaring flaws.
Dreddick123, the original is simpler in terms of gameplay, but deeper in terms of story....
I want remakes of the first 2 games on the switch or a new game with the first two games mechanic’s.
Yeah and add like a time machine so you can replay at least some of the originals story
*Aliens!*
Joshua Mitchell the story went from 0 to 1000 after that shit was revealed lnao
I played this game when it first came out and loved it since, now Jaiden made a video on it and it feels like a dream😂
And it's why I became a gamer, fossil fighters was the first game I ever played besides mario 64 DS
I found this game loose for about 5 dollars on a local Market! And I just finished the main story and I'm impressed I bet that you won't guess the end, because it's plot twist after plot twist. There is no way to guess it, even the most absurd things or things that feel like conveniences have a place in the end... it's a really smart Script... Not groundbreaking but has personality! I'm sure it will catch you out of guard
Holy shit 5$
What a steal
@@Goatix1954 I know... I was surprised and I had joy during my playthrough unfortunately the Post game is kind of boring but you get the Dinorian if you find all the fossils
@@marcelosandoval4206
Yeah I know, I've had the game (and the second) for a good decade now
Do what makes fossil fighters champions so unique
This my shit! (but, really PLAY these games, first two only, third one is uhh...)
Sir- Kek-on awful
Yeah you're pretty much summed it up there
Sir- Kek-on the gameplay was fine sort of but if they had more of what champions had it would of been great
Gameplays fine but unfortunately due to the super realism of the 3rd game, lack of wacky characters and story, really kind of made it lose its charm unfortunately.
I mean it's basically Pokemon with Dinosaurs, I mean that's a pretty rad when I was a kid.
I’m currently replaying the sequel, Champions. I remember years ago when the first game came out, I introduced it to my cousin because we were giant dinosaur nerds, and we absolutely fell in love with it. We battled all the time, shown off our rare Vivosaurs that we didn’t have. Replaying both of the games has been a nostalgic powerhouse. Although I haven’t touched the third one, and a lot say I’m better off for it, this series will always be one of my favorites on the DS!
*Sees the third installment* MY BOY, MY BOY! LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!
Honestly one of the best day games on just get in general. My favorite part was spending a long time trying to get that one piece to fully upgraded your vivisaur. As well as the sound track. All in all I really miss this game and Wis more like it would be made.
Fossil fighters was my favorite game when i was young, I mean come on, it had cool gameplay, dinosaurs and even a dinosaur waifu. I mean come on you have to admit duna is the og best girl and is probably the only reason why the timer on my save file is maxed. As you can probably tell i had a very strange childhood.
But who doesn’t love a good Saturday morning cartoon?
"Pokemon clone"
Tamagotchi would like a word with you
Jaiden animations? someone?
Me!!!!
Absolutely loved this game as a kid
MY NOSTALGIA
IT HIT ME IN THE FACE
NOW I'M BLEEDING RAINBOWS
This is one of my favorite games as a kid and still have not completed everything it has to offer and I still play to this day!
I love the first and second fossil fighter games
I wasn’t such a big fan of the 3rd one tho I did enjoy little nibbles and I’m glad Nintendo didn’t forgot about him I’m glad I was able to see him as a spirit in smash ultimate
Me too. I just wish they added other Vivosaurs too, specifically Proto, Tricera, etc.
I loved this game so much as a kid
Only Played the third Game and absolutely loved it.
My brother and I used to love this franchise! My personal favorite game is Fossil Fighters Champions since it's the game I put the most hours into as a kid. I found it really fun to explore the dig sites and the battles were fun too. I hope this series gets a game on the Switch. Great video!
FOSSIL FIGHTERS WAS LIKE THE BEST GAME OF all TIME!!
Fossil fighter's story is absurd in just the perfect way as to make it amazing
This game is my childhood, standard, and my favorite game ever (the first two) but the third one is like a 6/10
holy fuck i haven't seen this game in forever
This game was my childhood
same
yes
Dinosaur King you were all thinking it
BMO lol I have that game (and watched the whole series)
Oh fuck! I remember that!
Can you do an episode on Spectrobes? That would be awesome!
My childhood right here
The third one may be the worst, but you can get a really OP vivosaur early with AR cards
ahh.... the music is what got to me the most.... so nostalgic
I honestly really liked this game
Little corny
full of puns
But I love it
I just love this game...
I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who owns a fossil fighters discord server.
Just gonna, uh, put that out there.
oh hey, I got a link to that server. if, if anyone wants it...
Scrapyard Dragon please?
im they guy he knows lmao
discord.gg/DQUZDbe
ayyy
I think fossil fighters could make a neat board game.
There needs to be two thing. One: a new addition to the series. And two: the Older games to be remade into the switch
One of my first Nintendo DS games!!!! Nostalgia!!!😏
I love the first two games and i recently found a small youtuber who is doing a lets play of it so i am glad people are still playing them by the way if you want to know the youtuber is (gaming with mim)
I'm so glad that at the time of this post there are no dislikes. This was the first game I ever stayed up past my bedtime to play.
I got this game when it came out. I'm a college student. I still play this game. It's that good.
WE NEED A REVIVAL!
Didn’t Spectrobes do the fossil excavation stuff too?
I loved this game when I was a kid, I just recently made a video on it and I might just have to play through the game again because of it. Quality video my dude!
really underrated game
I loved this game! Very fun and interesting mechanics.
Fossil Fighter for Smash Bros. He could be a rival to Pokémon Trainer.
Omg... I don't know when or how I got this, but at some point I ended up with this game when I was young... I loved this game! All of a sudden I really want to come back to it, now that I'm much older and know what strategy is.
I love these
The third one isnt as bad as people say
Ayden Smith I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed Frontier!
Regarding the stories, I didn’t find them that bad. They do manage to constantly leave you second-guessing with a healthy dose of plot twists.
Personally I think the second one is the best
Well I like to see a new fossil fighter for switch!
Id be down for more DS gems for this..
This was the best thing I have ever seen in my life! It would be cool to do the other 2 games for video ideas. Fossil Fighters Champions is the best of the series.
Gonna go ahead and admit Rosie was my video game crush in 5th grade
Its also crazy how this series probably has the textbook examples of a perfectly good sequel and a perfectly bad sequel (minus the digging at least)
im getting burns from nostalgia. its a very awesome game that is my childhood
Welcome to *Jurassic park!!*
Love this series! Makes me aware of series I've never heard of
My childhood
I hope they make a 4th game
As of 11:37 California time, I’ve beat Fossil Fighters Champions. I loved this game
I have spent around 9 hours on this game in 6 days, 5 playing, 1 recording a video.
This kind of reminds me of Dinosaur King...
seems interesting
Don’t talk about that garbage anime. This is 1,000x better. But maybe my opinion on dinosaur king is just because I played this before I saw it.
The3Dluxe Dinosaur King is pretty cool especially their dinosaurs. But both franchises are unique
Man I rember seeing fossil fighters just comeing out and it was around Xmas so for that year I wanted a ds with fossil fighters that was my first gameing devise and first game I wanted. I loved that game so much that I played it twice cause my little bro deleated my save data and each time was just as memorable as before. I've always been into dinosaurs and phreostoric life so this was right up my ally. A few years later it was my bday and one of my presents was fossil fighters champions well me at the time didn't know about the sequel so it came as a total shock to me and man it was one of the best suprizes I eve had. Now take fossil fighters clean up the graphics a bit, flesh out the models better, add a new fun battle system that is better than the first, then add new vivosaurs and I mean alot of new ones out and boom ya have what I concider the best game in the franchise. Champions took the original and enhanced it 100% the story well not as crazy as the first held up really good and fit the story they were telling and the use of cut sceans specially ones like the start whare ya run from the allosaurs and summoning your chosen vivosaur that was cool a bit like Pokemon but the idea was true to how the franchise does it in the first ya were given spinax and couldent chose but could eventually get all of them so just got 1 early. But ya anyways champions took it up a step even with some free dlc to get the first games legendarys but is their gona be a sequel to add more vivosaurs and more ideas to make?!
NO!
See they did make a 3rd and I was hyped as all for it so I rember as soon as It came out I got it. But something wasent right with it....ow ya ... THEY CHANGED LITTERLY EVERYTHING!!!!!! Like how can you even call this a sequel when even the vivosaurs them selphs look diffrent from the 2 previous game so no1 wrong their, make their main focus cars and less about fossils and battles no2, no3 the battles everything simplyanything and everything get rid of it bring back champions heck bring back the original version just not that ,and 4 the story stunk it was all over the place and it was highly a disappointment ya cool we went back in time but that's it other than that I forget it. But ya I can say on and on what happened but what did happen was I thing frontier madw the franchise extinct cause of that game their hasent been a 4th out wich stinks but what can you do. But ya that's fossil fighters my most favorite game ever and it was good while it lasted I just hope 1 day we can revive this franchise and give it's proper sequel this time till then I'm happy with champions.
Can we get Zongazonga in smash it's all I want. At this point.
And DYNAL!
I loved this game and I beat it, then lost it on a school bus lol
Answering the question in the Thumbnail: maybe because Nintendo made a mistake in releasing everywhere, excluding Europe? 5 months and I am still waiting for answers
Jurassic world the game before it got popular....Do you think you could do Champions and ughh the third one?
Do Lock's Quest. Completly overlooked NDS game and it's getting a PC rerelease very soon!
Fossil fighters was. My. SHIT.
Is it pronounced vive, or viv? I say Vive-oh-saur as in RE-VIVE.
Dinosaur King is what you wanna be, yeah -- Oop, wrong series!
Whose here from jaiden animations
Bruh moment
Hot take: Fossil fighters is better than pokemon. The gameplay is just more fun, its more strategic in the battling system, and I always enjoyed the fossil digging and cleaning system. The plot isn't the best thing I've ever seen, but neither is pokemon's, and I personally really enjoyed the journey you go on throughout both the original and champions. The only thing that I felt still was to be desired is the graphics, but I don't think that should hold back the quality of this game. Additionally, I love the game's sense of humor. This gme is so much more than a "Pokemon knockoff", and the only real similarities between them is the idea of using fantastical creatures with elemental mechanics to fight each other in a turn-based rpg setting. The executions are ENTIRELY different.
The first one was great, but I had a really tough time coming back to it after the more free-form system from Champions.
Frontier was rather pleasantly difficult compared to the other two, which I found satisfying, but it hit too many sour notes for me to really recommend it to anyone unfortunately. If Fossil Fighters' was a Saturday Morning Cartoon plot, then I don't know what you'd classify Frontier's as. They simply took a few too many risks with it, I think.
This was mt First DS Game
I'm totally picking this up if it's still at GameStop.
Lee Thompson-Kolar if it is, it will be a used copy. but hey! it's cheaper.
Sadly, I wasn't able to find the first game, though I did pick up the sequel, Champions. The difference was $10 instead of $3, so it had better be worth it! I suspect it will, though, since I absolutely adore Sphere mining in Pokemon DPP.
