Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your thoughts on Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg and if you think we should one day get a sequel to it!
I am the leading expert in Billy Hatcher multiplayer… well, I’ve never played the story. Me and my siblings would destroy each other in the versus game mode… to the point that I memorized the individual patterns of the eggs(so as to know what monsters/power up was in each egg) there are like five different types of egg monsters(small & rideable), egg, power ups, hats(w/different ways of controlling and maneuvering the egg), items(such as an item to stop all enemy players in time), and bombs(like an enemy, chasing bomb, and a bomb that hide itself as a random egg) all the elements combine so you and three friends can maneuver somewhat large arenas(we would always choose the “Pirates Bay “because it was the second largest map, that and we would always play four player co-op. This would help with egg spawn, and the amount of eggs in the map plus the rounded shape would allow for most player’s to find each other very quickly.) besides the OG eggs, there were other more rare eggs(imagine like shiny Pokémon) and either a rainbow egg or a special sonic egg(those would include Sega characters, such as sonic and friends, knights, Amigo… ECT) DON’T BE FOOLED these eggs were special, but not worth the extra attention(they were shiny, and the sonic ones were silver, and could be easily recognized. This would almost definitely get you down a LifePoint.) despite the large amount of eggs to choose, they would spawn very evenly so the main strat is to find a monster(hopefully a mount) and attack and k!ll the other players this would do a number of things (one) you would lose your monster(but it would not de spawn if you were fast and could find it, you can “befriended“ it again, but that could also leave it open to be “befriended“ Buy an enemy player…) (two) you would lose your egg power up (three) you can lose your hat(which could also be stolen by another player) and (four) you lose a life obviously(lose them all and you’re out of the game) this would all lead to a stressful and fun situation, where you have a good egg/hat combo and then lose it all to your enemy… most monsters had very similar attacks most of the time the direction and verticality of the attack would change from monster to monster(for the most attack potential, you have a monster and roll an extra egg. That way you can always have an extra hit even if your monster doesn’t hit + running around without an egg is an easy way to get hurt as eggs can be used A number of times as defense before it breaks) some monsters (like mounts) could attack directly Infront of them allowing for both mobility and versatility they were the best most guaranteed way to dispatch of your enemies... (no shiny eggs were mounts) Hats would vary in usefulness (from jumping high, maneuvering around obstacles like sand and water, to the ability to remote control an egg from any distance) the power up were more useful but considerably more rare... (shrink, defensive eggshell, invincibility, invisibility, break all eggs, make players fall asleep, steal items, and freeze time) there was a extra life egg as well as three bomb eggs in their own black and red pattern(heat seeking bomb, camo egg bomb, and throwable bomb) all this and more with environmental hazards, egg jump pads, and the ability to do a egg bash propelling your character forward all this would provide a fun and memorable experience...
As a young child me and my family were obsessed with multiplayer games so when i saw that this game had 4 player action gameplay i had to buy it and let me tell you it had it all... the creators of the game didn't have to add this mode in but Billy Hatcher, Mario cart DD, Starfox assault, and Custom Robo, were the only things me and my siblings could talk about!!! the Game Cube was truly the place to be for multiplayer in the early 2000's and I'm extremally glad i got to play this (at the time) under rated classic!!!
thank you...💀🤓
@@LuckyLuna_564 Aight, calm down now. SOME thoughts would suffice.
I think it's the most overrated since Jet force Gemini. As in, anyone who likes JFG has plenty of Ratchet and Clank games available to carry that tone. With much better controls. Billy Hatcher is somewhere in the realm of Pikmin and Chibi-robo.
Before you ask, I don't join the bandwagons that call ANYTHING well-liked "overrated" after a time, I just call niche games out as deservedly being niche.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 lol I have more then 170 hours in Chibi-Robo I'm the monarch of niche!!! ☝🤓
@@sboinkthelegday3892I don't think it's overrated because it's so niche? Like people who played it like it but I feel like the majority of people need to know about something for it to be "overrated"😂
I only knew of Billy Hatcher from Sonic and Sega All Stars racing
Finally, somebody covering this
Theres been a few Billy Hatcher reviews 😅
Nitro Rad and SomeCallMeJohnny made video reviews on it as well some years ago.
THIS
Yesterday, SEGA announced a bunch of their legacy franchises would be getting new games, with Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage confirmed. Hoping that means good news for Billy Hatcher!
The trailer did say more was coming, so I am sure Hatcher won't be ingored
@@SparkzEntlol they are definitely not going to do anything with billy hatcher
You do realize he says this at the end of the video, right?? Or are you one of those weirdos that posts immediately m
@@harleyjo4875 Yeah, posted that before I made it all the way through. Not immediate, but maybe, like, halfway.
Space Channel 5 need more games too! i mean... they announced a MOVIE of the franchise
Of course I remember this game I loved it as a kid and hope there’s a remaster or rerelease one day. I miss sega games like this nowadays they really don’t try weirder stuff or arcadey games like this anymore
I loved this game. But I was like 9 and I sucked at it. But I loved it. My buddy and I played the battle mode all the time just to see all the monsters you could hatch. I really wish this series didn’t die off
I remember playing this throughout my childhood. I didn’t even remember there was a story mode, since my cousins and I would only play multiplayer and get mad when someone else got the Sonic egg.
OMG me and my siblings would do the exact thing. We only ever went through the story mode so that we could get more maps to play multiplayer in.
It was so wild hatching Sonic from an egg when i saw this game at a friends house as a kid. And the Cuckudoodledoo will always have a place in my cold dead heart
I absolutely loved this game growing up! It was an absolutely great memory that somehow felt like a fever dream and when I finally remembered it I wasn't sure it was real and couldn't find the name of it for awhile
This is such a "Wait.. remember that one?" game for me.
I hadn't got video games at home yet, but the daycare my parents left me at during the summer had a GameCube with no memory card. Because they had no memory card, my slate got wiped clean every day.
They had Double Dash and this game. I was a kid and had never played video games, and I had no idea what I was doing.
Every day I would imagine how I could get further in the game the next day or what I could unlock in Double Dash. I think I only ever got as far as hatching the first elder, but it kept me thrilled the entire summer! I never played this game ever again after that summer 15 or so years ago, so this game only exists in vague memories to me.
We need a remake or sequel!
This was actually a fun game i remember playing it as a kid with no memory card for a week without being able to save.
lol me but w pokemon coliseum
Man this game takes me back… and hearing about the final boss makes me realize I never actually beat it! I think my brother and I just replayed the first three or so worlds over and over, and did a LOT of multiplayer. But damn if that music isn’t pounded into my skull. So nice to see someone talk about it!
I finally got to experience this GC game 3 months ago on my ol' Wii.
Always wanted to try playing it at least once as a kid, ever since discovering the game's franchise through the first Sega allstars racing game back in the mid 2000s. It felt nostalgic to finally play and see Billy. Even if I only knew his character through an unrelated racing game haha. 🐣
I always get excited when I see someone making a video about Billy Hatcher. This game has such a special place in my heart so I've very happy you covered it.
I always remember having fun when I played this game
great under rated gem and deserves a sequel!
I played tf outta this game as a kid with my step-brothers. You know how long I've waited for a new game or a least a damn remake.
15 years later and the GOOD MORNING!! makes sense now :D thanks so much for liking billy hatcher too.. i just feel like its such a niche game to know about.
This game NEEDS a remaster/remake
Sega characters always make the coolest poses
As well as designs
I remember raging as an 8 year old on that one golden egg mission where you have to roll it on a track and catch it before it flew off and you insta-failed.
Billy hatcher was hidden underrated gem...
Dude has got me hooked on this channel. Spyro, XD Gale of Darkness, and now Billy Hatcher. The games that hit home for me so much. Thanks for covering these. :)
I absolutely loved the multi-player for this game! So much fun and so many great memories 💖
Love this game so much. I still have it locked up and protected in my living room❤ even painted billy hatcher eggs for Easter one year 🥹
One of the first video games I played when my family got a gamecube in 2004, still love it.
This was a game I loved! I still have that hope for Billy Hatcher for Smash!
BROTHER, the algorithm recomended me your main channel, wich is a delight on its own, been marathoning your vids this last week or so. BUT MAN DID I FIND GOLD with your second channel, i like nostalgic tv shows, but games, but THESE games, keep it up man, i know the hustle can just be too much sometimes, but be asured that there are many of us who love this content!!!!
I've been waiting so long to hear someone talk about this game!
Absolutely remembered this one, my brother and I rented this game all the time!
Billy hatcher and the giant egg acknowledged in the year of our Lord thank you Mr Jordan. Fringe sir
If Sega made a $30/$40 Remaster with quality of life enhancements I’d buy it for every system day one. Billy Hatcher is such an underrated gem of a game! A game more people need to experience
Yet another banger Jordie McFringe🤙🏾 I swear you cover all of the content I watched as a child that I thought everyone forgot!
Maybe it’s just me but I’ve noticed more and more people covering Billy Hatcher.
Oh boy i cant wait for tripple fringemass next year
Loving this double Fringemas. I've been watching the odd video here and there the last few months but seeing you upload every day I make a point of watching every one you release and they've all been great so far, you must have put some amount of work into this.
A game i always lamented not getting the chance to play
one of my first games as a kid, with my first being pokemon Yellow, it was so nice to just play the game and i loved the music, the powerups and the level design. it was much fun and I would want more from this series
I liked this game even though i wasn't good at video games when this came out.
This is the one second game I wish would get remastered.
I remember this game it was a fun one and one of my favorites I still remember the commercials for it lol
"Wait rememb-" Brother I never forgot about this game, this game has been in my head for over 20 years for some reason. I really would love to see it ported or something one day but I know it's a very off chance.
Unlocked childhood memory achieved
This game is special to me. Billy Hatcher kick-started my love for speedrunning and I've been able to make so many friends online through our shared enjoyment of the game. I would even go as far as to say that I met some of my best friends through a mutual love for the speedrun. Last summer I finally got to meet a majority of the game's european speedrunning community and it was the greatest week of my life.
I appreciate videos like this and the speedrunning community for keeping this game relevent after 20 years. I want it to one day be noticed by a wider audience which is why I make content for this game.
I love this game and how it strangely has made a positive impact on my life. Thank you for adding to the Billy Hatcher content.
Called this game "Charlie Chocobo" as a kid, rented it over and over again, never made it past the second level.
Who else had the demo disc with this, Splinter cell, viewtiful Joe , and Soulcalibur 2?
I loved this game when I was a kid
I still have my copy of this game and I still enjoy it here and there it has some great music but I do agree we should of gotten a sequel lol. There was a ton of games on the gamecube that I still love playing that are hidden gems first one that comes to mind is Gotcha Force
Went from making a paltformer game with kid wearing a chicken costume. To making Balan Wonderland, and both of them are a bit similar to each other. It'll be great if they do a remaster or remake of this game.
ANOTHER ONEEE this one is one of my favorite games next to Ty the Tasmanian tiger and the sly cooper series I used to play Billy Hatcher aLL the time as a child. I’m waiting to graduate college so I can play it again LMAOO I love that you’re covering every single game I had growing up I’d play them in tandem with my older brothers. the multiplayer on this one was so good 😭✋
I have heard of this game!
Fringe always hitting the niche shit i played as a kid like a nail on the head
This game is a gem I want to get me a copy if I can find one
Weird British Weeb Core Memory Unlocked: I had a tv in my bedroom with a scart lead from the box downstairs into my room upstairs, and I also had a VCR. Toonami just arrived and I remember having to quickly switch the channel on Telewest to Toonami as it was the weekend and we rented this game, but I'd always record Outlaw Star at 10:30pm and 4am every day. I was staying up late playing this wondering what I was missing of my fav anime while I rolled around a giant egg.. yay🎉
I wanted to play this, hopefully SEGA remakes it too.. So glad you covered it because I don't know when either of these will happen😅
Fucking love Billy Hatcher 🔥
Loved this game back when I was a kid! Won my copy through a sweepstakes on the FoxBox, which also included a putty inside an egg. Had so much fun memories with this game and I believe this game needs more love than it deserved. Here's hoping we get a revival of Billy Hatcher, joining the other Dreamcast era games being revived in the future!
Holy fuck, i saw the image and a memory got unlocked
Omg I played multiplayer with my cousins sooo much growing up! This game is so fun and charming. I bought it last year so I can finally finish the story.
This is one of my favorite games of all time
How is this 2 days old??? I just looked up it because it popped into my head omg
I used to have this game but it got lost somewhere along the way between my friends and brothers...
I was literally just talking about this game the other day lol
I WAS JUST THINKING OF THIS TODAY, it's a sign, Dolphin here I come.
I felt like for the longest time I was the only one who actually really enjoyed this game.
Wish they'd bring it back.
Like my 3rd game I ever played
Hush hush but keep an eye out for a billy Hatcher-like indie game in the future (maybe)
Also 50!? Jordan please get the sleep you need
I love this game!!
yes i pray everyday for a remake
Definitely a game from my childhood.
I really wish this game had a sequel I mean, we could all think of any creative way to make this game so interesting
OK I just saw a preview of the game in Japanese and I just gotta say man it’s up to the people of Japan whatever they feel like ever freaking making a sequel for this game, but that was just so long ago who was ever paying attention
So excited to see this being covered. I have fond memories of multi-player shenanigans with my siblings. I really wish this IP would've taken off 😫
I have a sealed copy of this game which I purchased but never played as a kid. Now it just sits in a acryllic box protector. I've still yet to play the game, even on emulator.
SEGA announced that Jet set radio is getting a remake, so hopefully Billy Hatcher will get one too!
Heyyyyyy. I REMEMBER THIS BLOCKBUSTER RENTAL! 😂
Duuuude. I ALWAYS wanted to buy this when I went to circuit city or best buy. They always had the demo going. Flash forward 20 years and I've put it in my steam deck to finally enjoy the game. And it's been a blast so far.
I loved this gsme so much as a kid
Love this game, so unique
Hope this is one of the games they’re bringing back
Lol its funny as soon as i saw the thumbnail i thought oh damn thats literally human sonic and then you immediately said the sonic team and sega and yea it clicked
Bro I still have this little handheld that was like Temple Run
I FUCKIN LOVE BILLY HATCHER
Wow i remember a episode of billy and mandy when billy dress as a chicken when i see the thumbnail
I think that one GameGrumps episode ruined the name “Hatcher” for me yrs ago but this looks fun as hell. This looks so 2003
Ahhh love hearing about Sega's franchises other than Sonic.
I miss early 2000s gaming where everything was experimental and ORIGINAL.
OH MY GAWD!!!
Loved this game
It’s Mario Odyssey But With An Egg Instead Of A Hat
this game feels to me like what Sonic should always been as species. i always felt Sonic teh hedgehog had something "avian" in him,a bnd this game gives justice to this perception
The only sega game I owned that was about sonic
I loved this game, but I remember it being pretty hard. Don't think I ever got past the third world.
Yet to play this video game
yes
Fun fact Billy was my vote to add to Smash bros
Cool
I still owe blockbuster a late fee for this.
💯👊🏿😎 my guy
Loved the game, never finished it. I use to rent it at blockbuster.
I loved this game so much, but never owned it. Played the mess out of it at my cousins though
This game just needed polish, especially with the platforming
Response to the title-
HOW COULD I FORGET?!??!???
