I know that beating all of these is a hassle, especially when you want to play other consoles, but this series is truly appreciated. I can't play video games very often for a wide variety of reasons, but I can watch you play and it makes me happy.
I have fond memories of this game as a kid. Did all my chores during the week and my parents took me to the video store to rent a game. Picked this one randomly and really enjoyed the RPG elements/character progression. Probably hasn't aged well, but at the time, I'd never played anything like it.
Everyone has a game from their childhood that they think is legendary, but that no one else has ever heard of, and for me, that game is Flying Dragon. Idk what it is, but this game always felt immaculate to me.
not legendary, but for me that game was MRC: Multi-Racing Championship. Pretty crappy in retrospect but it was all I would rent early on since I only had ability to play racing games at 6.
Same dude, my grandma got this for me for Christmas, probably thought that dragons were a cool thing for a 12 year old and honestly didn't play it for like a year (Mario 64 was all consuming) but randomly, one day I put it on and from the second I heard the girl with the feathers music I was hooked!
Great work on this game once again ! I'm so glad you got back to it to get that story mode ! Again, you got insane luck with Bokuchin. First time I played it, took me 35 tournaments to get him... xD Also, thanks for the shoutout to Thatsadarkhorse, MrRadon and I. :D
My brother and I loved this game growing up. We spent months playing it. Had a rivalry with suzaku/red falcon (me) and ryuhi (my brother). Spent alot of time playing the single player mode in SD mode too. Is probly my favorite fighting game to this day due to how much fun we had with it growing up
@@onehotdogketchup2me I got some of the items, you didnt need them all. The one for metal shoryu was a bitch to get but worth it. You absolutely dont need the ones for metal hayato or metal powers. You DEFINITELY need the one for metal bokuchin though
HOLY SHIT. I’ve been looking. For this game my entire life, knew it existed. Played it at a friends house every so often and no one knew the name but its the best fighting game ever.
"This game is entirely different from any other fighting game. All the fighting games on the market [at the time were] kind of like Mortal Kombat or Mace - all somewhat bloody games. We wanted to bring something different from the other fighting games to the N64. That's Flying Dragon. First of all, there are two modes. One is SD mode, targeting the younger generation, probably gamers from 8 to 19. In that mode, you can gain and buy over 200 items. With these you can raise your own characters and save them to the Controller Pak. The character will grow up. And you can have your personalised characters fight against your friends. In Japan this type of game is very popular. One of the reasons why [Nintendo's] Pokémon is so popular in Japan is that players can exchange monsters, raise them and have them fight. Flying Dragon's SD mode has a similar idea behind it. There are a lot of options to give you the game you want. Some people like Street Fighter, others like Virtua Fighter or Tekken. By setting up the combo system, blocking and turbo mode you can make the game play like those games. But the preset mode is not like Street Fighter, not like Virtua Fighter, and not like Tekken - it's Flying Dragon!" -- Yasuhiro Maekawa (President of Natsume)
This was one of my favorite games growing up. I could never find a copy to buy, but I would rent it all the time from the local mom and pop rental store. I put so much time into it unlocking everything. It's so good for an N64 fighter, I got really good at pulling off combos as Ryuhi and Wiler. I almost never played the Virtual Mode since the SD was so much more fleshed out and I liked the designs better.
Wouldn’t surprise me if “Powers” was modeled after Jim Powers; who portrayed the Ultimate Warrior in the WWF in the 80s and 90s. They look exactly the same
this game was for rent at my local Movie Gallery rental shop. I fell in love with it, and re-rented it many, many times. my goal was to fill out the treasure box item list, but it comes to find out that you can't actually because it was bugged. also, there were specific items that could be only be obtained by having a different brand of n64 memory card, of which there was only one for sale where i lived. overall it was a fun grind, and the treasure item system was actually fairly deep. one such ability i thought was cool was the feather items that gave you something called otedama. i never knew until much later that otedama allowed you to juggle your opponents more, opening the combo system to new possibilities. ugh i miss this game lol
There's something about a fighting game where you fight in regular tournaments, but eventually there's a tournament where the last fighter is an inhuman superbeing made of metal, and a few tournaments later you're fighting entire rosters of only metallic superbeings over and over, while wondering where the regular human fighters are. A strange and lonely thought.
I'm so glad that you're finally playing flying dragon 64. This is quite genuinely my favorite fighting game and I have put well over 1,000 hours on it. Suzaku and robinohaba are my favorite characters along with ryumao. Love the game. Love the rpg elements. Love the leveling style and the fact that the abilities are limiting are actually kind of nice as well. Especially since you unlock more as you go. I'm sure you don't feel the same and you might even hate the game but I'm still excited to see your opinion. I've actually been waiting for this moment.
I guess I'm one of the few that grew up with this game. Grinded tournament mode for quite some time trying to get Yuka's final special but never got it and I'm still haunted by it.
I own this game, I was so hyped when I read about it as a kid, and I got it as a present. It being a rare game, it was like 80 USD! I played it a bunch, but did rage quit it forever when I got to the bosses that would heal their HP.
I did a whole let's play with german commentary, where I get all 10 medals for ALL characters. Also, something you missed here is that each character has at least one more special move you can win after beating turnaments. Robonohana has only one, where most other characters have at least two new special moves. For the most part, you have to grind even more tournaments to get the last attack for each character (you probably didn't get Robonohanas other attack). Sometimes you get it before you finish a character. Yuka's last special move is somehow unoptainable though, but you can always use it in training mode, even though you never got it.
Something that you didn't utilize, but for a lot of characters is basically required, is that each of the silver boss characters has a counter item that turns off their boss abilities that can be found by completing tournaments in certain ways. You also have a low chance of getting their boss items when you beat em.
This game brings me memories: I remember renting it because of the name alone, "Flying Dragon" sounded so cool. I could barely understand english back then, but I knew what "dragon" meant, so I went with it. It surprised me a bit by being a fighting game, and I had no idea how to navigate the menus, I just noticed that it had 2 modes (I called them "child" and "adult" modes, but I don't know the proper terms lol). Then, a bit older, I played it again on an emulator and actually had a lot of fun with the chibi ("child") mode. The characters were full of personality and I probably made a head canon story or something about it, but I had fun nonetheless! I'm interested in seeing your opinions on it!
"Who the heck has ever played this game?" Says the nerd who hasn't seen Star Wars. I'm convinced you're just an incredibly likable alien that just landed and has zero knowledge of the medulium that pays the bills. "I'm beating every n64 game but I have no idea what a videogame is."
You would have loved turbo mode in regards to getting through it.... it makes gameplay quicker by a lot and you can get through it faster but it also makes it more challenging and fun. It's literally just an option in the menu. I usually turn the timer off as well. There's a very hard mode as well. And a very easy mode that help you level up because you can Breeze through it. Except for when you are fighting the metal version said you don't have the items required. just keep pressing right on the options to go to very hard mode and left to go to very easy. can also set it to where you have to fight 1 to 3 Rounds And if you fight three rounds you get experience a lot quicker and you can unlock items faster in one round really. There's a lot of little tricks to it but it's a really fun game. I want to know if you have the pike of the Guardia version or the other one. I've never gotten the other one and I can't even think of what the item is that you get but there's two different copies of the game and some of them have the pike of Guardia or something like that and the other is a mystery to me... also, you can get armor that literally makes it where you can't be knocked down and a power that gives you health back when using a special. It's fun af. Think about it back then. You have two people that can fight in a one player fighting game and level up someone and customize them how they want by using the items they want and leveling them up and then they come to your house like a week later after training on this game and they plug in their save pack and you just beat the s*** out of each other. It's really fun. It's something that we lack today.
Im actually impressed he beat all the metal dudes without the counter items lol. I remember there's these virus items that completely nullifies their abilities. You shouldn't have to beat the metal Chaotzu or Ryumao 10 times, only once with the virus would do the trick
@@BrantAxt in the shop you can buy scrolls and they tell you how to get the counter items it’s normally things like change the timer the difficulty or round count to specific things
At first, I thought this was Fighter's Destiny and I was excited. I can't wait for you to get to that one. It's a super underrated fighting game. At a glance, it looks just like every other generic 3d fighter that was being thrown at the wall in those days, but it has incredibly unique and fun mechanics. It has a point system where you get different amounts of points for knocking the opponent down with different types of moves. There's blocking like in most games, but there's an automatic dodge you can do by holding the L button that makes you Matrix dodge attacks. When someone tries a grab attack, you can usually catch yourself halfway through by button mashing so they don't get a point. The thing that makes it all work is that you can't get out of a throw if they do it while you're Matrix dodging, and you can't block specials. So there's a constant strategy layer that makes the fights look like something out of a Kung Fu movie With constant dodging and people being thrown only to land on their feet.
I rented this game back in the day. Never heard of it or anything. I didn't get far in it, but I did enjoyed it. Wouldn't mind playing it again one day.
nice job on actually beating sd mode! I did a similar spam strat with yuka but really you're supposed to unlock anti-metal items and new supers. also this game has 2 split sequels. sd mode got a sequel on n64, japan only. virtual mode has a ps1 sequel.
For some reason, my cousin bought that game back in the day and even though I didnt like it that much, I ended up playing it quite a bit. Haven't thought of it or seen it anywhere since the late nineties though and this video was quite the flashback.
this video made me excited for war gods. received it as a birthday present when I was like 9 and distinctly remember the giver being hyped about the game. I never loved it but I was never a fighting game enjoyer, but also there were some redeeming qualities. looking forward to an independent opinion.
Flying Dragon is amazing. Pretty good OST and also one of the closest experiences of an RPG we could get on the system, sadly. It's a bit repetitive and there are some bugs that prevents you from getting some of the needed treasures tho... but otherwise, it's one of the best games on the 64.
I loved this game! I picked it up from a local video game shop in the mid 2000s and I still have it with me. It definitely needs a lot of tweaking, but as you said, the concept is really good! Also the first game I used a Game Shark for since 9 year old me had a hard time with the metal fighters... As for metal Ryuhi and metal Power's abilities: metal Ryuhi has infinite busters and items he just never uses them since the AI in the game is laughably bad especially in Normal mode. Metal Powers has super body meaning all attacks except for throws won't knock him down.
Didn’t remember any of the menus or the intricate style but holy fuck as soon as the OST started playing this was definitely rented in like 2000 to 2001 by my mother for me
One of my favorite childhood games. I wish I hadn't missed the stream for it. Hopefully my life won't be swamped when you get to the sequel! And nice choice of Robo no Hana. He's pretty good here (especially his throw damage due to his loincloth increasing that stat), but he got severely nerfed in the sequel. you do bring up a good point about how it's a strange game to localize. Robo no Hana is actually a crossover character (along with Bokuchin, and the Sequel game's characters, Gou Fire, Jack, and Ryu) from a sister series known as Super Chinese (only one game came to the SNES localized as Super NInja Boy). No one would know he was from the japanese only Super Chinese World 3 and Super Chinese Fighter Thankfully the sequel handles the grind a bit better...just a bit. You get to choose the tournament instead instead of just having to continue off of the same circuit. The only issue is, gear gets powerful pretty fast, along with the cpu's gear to the point that you can one shot each other based on a SPECIFIC stat (physical attack, physical defense, throwing power/defense, and projectile power/defense.) This leads to some battle being dumb because an opponent could have maxed out defense and projectile offense/defense, and their only lacking stat is throwing offense/defense meaning the only way to win is with throws (which can take long if you don't have any stat points in throw power.)
This was one of my favorite games I ever rented. I always wanted to own and play this with my brother, but we could never find it. The memories are lost on him now, but I will never forget this awesome game. :-)
Flying Dragon was one of my favorite games as a kid. Probably helps that I had three brothers to play it with so I wasn't just grinding against the AI the whole time.
Oh shieeeeeet! I rented this game so much 😅 right now I'm very excited, grabbing something to drink and some munchies to watch this video!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
I remember this game being a random rental at my local video game rental store. I never made it past the chibi mode. Game controlled so clunky and I just gave up on it.
I think there were Flying Dragon games for the NES and SNES also... I vaguely remember playing them if they existed... I remember I always wanted to play this game though. Actually I might have rented this one.
"who played this game?" Me having had it as a kid, having playparties with my friends lol. It was a pretty good fighting game, not mk but still enough to play for a couple of hours.
They took a chance releasing this in America in 98. Double Dragon was a big enough hit on NES and SNES they were betting on the title closeness to get sales. Anime was not popular in America at all in 98 . Out of the entire high school , there would only be a few kids into Anime
I know that beating all of these is a hassle, especially when you want to play other consoles, but this series is truly appreciated. I can't play video games very often for a wide variety of reasons, but I can watch you play and it makes me happy.
Because you've got no arms?
With you can watch, you can play!
Chanko Nabe is not a translation error.
It is a japanese food that is essential for Sumo Wrestlers to gain fat but at the same time form muscle.
How THAB knew about mawashi but not chankonabe is a little funny.

Was mine. The 3d fighter + story+ rpg elements were amazing

Props for going back in and going for true completion! 👍
Best part of Friday mornings
my dumb butt keeps forgetting it's Fridays and thinks Sunday so I get surprised every time
It’s like looking forward to weekend toons man 😁
agreed 🤩
Lucky for you, in Europe we have to wait until afternoon.
Facts
My brother and I loved this game growing up. We spent months playing it. Had a rivalry with suzaku/red falcon (me) and ryuhi (my brother).
Spent alot of time playing the single player mode in SD mode too. Is probly my favorite fighting game to this day due to how much fun we had with it growing up
"Flying Dragon? Sounds like a X-Box Live Gamertag."
ThaBeast721, 2023
The fact you did this without earning any of the items that negate the metal characters' abilities is insane, kudos
He didn't do what? I can't even get past fucking shoryu without the items
@@onehotdogketchup2me I got some of the items, you didnt need them all. The one for metal shoryu was a bitch to get but worth it. You absolutely dont need the ones for metal hayato or metal powers. You DEFINITELY need the one for metal bokuchin though
"...and He means all off them" to hear him say this about someone else was hilarious to me.
I got up and clapped when he said it.
HOLY SHIT. I’ve been looking. For this game my entire life, knew it existed. Played it at a friends house every so often and no one knew the name but its the best fighting game ever.
They need to put this on nso online
This was hands down my favorite N64 game of all time. So many memories! I'm glad you added more content on this obscure game.

“OH YEAH! TWO-PLY TWO-PLY!”

Not going to lie, when I clicked on this video I did not expect the phrase "infinite butt slams" to come up.
Pretty nice of Thab to shout out all the other channels doing similar challenges.
I guess I'm one of the few that grew up with this game. Grinded tournament mode for quite some time trying to get Yuka's final special but never got it and I'm still haunted by it.
It just reminds me of a game a grandma or aunt would buy for a kid just because they don't know any better.
I own this game, I was so hyped when I read about it as a kid, and I got it as a present. It being a rare game, it was like 80 USD!
I played it a bunch, but did rage quit it forever when I got to the bosses that would heal their HP.
"Who is playing this game?" This is the one game I wanted you to review. I played the hell out of this game.
I did a whole let's play with german commentary, where I get all 10 medals for ALL characters. Also, something you missed here is that each character has at least one more special move you can win after beating turnaments. Robonohana has only one, where most other characters have at least two new special moves.

You also have a low chance of getting their boss items when you beat em.
And they were so obtuse to find, changing difficulty, rounds, and time to unlock them, so it took me a long time to realize how to unlock those.

Is Powers supose to be Ultimate Warrior from wrestling?
loving the journey through all the games. thanks for this fun series!
Love the series and stream when i catch them, keep it up man.
I fucking love Flying Dragon, this game was way ahead of it's time, and the character mod system is cool AF when you are in the kid part of the game.
"Who the heck has ever played this game?"
Says the nerd who hasn't seen Star Wars. I'm convinced you're just an incredibly likable alien that just landed and has zero knowledge of the medulium that pays the bills.
"I'm beating every n64 game but I have no idea what a videogame is."
Yeah that explains his skill at Mario Maker. The part of his brain that makes someone good at games is simply five times larger than ours.
Finally! This was the game i started watching this series for

Was it the first or second with the cow fighter? I loved both of them and this game.
@@DrDragon99 I think the first one. I got in a real life fist fight with my best friend at the time over that damn cow. That game was great.
Can't wait for clay fighter
I rented this game back in the day. Never heard of it or anything. I didn't get far in it, but I did enjoyed it. Wouldn't mind playing it again one day.
Oh man, I LOVED this game.... I played through everyone on SD and got all items, specials, ECT...
This is one of those games I would have put 1 million hours on if I had it when I was young. Tekken 3 probably took two years of my life from me lol
Man back in the day my brothers and cuzs would play tournaments. I loved this game the fighting felt so good.
Flying Dragon was one of my absolute Favorite! Games growing up
nice job on actually beating sd mode! I did a similar spam strat with yuka but really you're supposed to unlock anti-metal items and new supers.
also this game has 2 split sequels. sd mode got a sequel on n64, japan only. virtual mode has a ps1 sequel.
Missed the greatest clickbait ever...Beast vs Ryu for world championship lol
Flying dragon the secret scrolls on NES was one of my favorite games as a kid
I legitimately have never met anyone else who have played this game
I played it and still my copy from my childhood!
For some reason, my cousin bought that game back in the day and even though I didnt like it that much, I ended up playing it quite a bit. Haven't thought of it or seen it anywhere since the late nineties though and this video was quite the flashback.

Not only have I played this I also played the original on the Nes
Can’t wait for ANOTHER SPORTS GAME
This was one of my favorite games ever. I can't wait till you do Ayden chronicles the first mage
Flying Dragon is amazing. Pretty good OST and also one of the closest experiences of an RPG we could get on the system, sadly.

This is my Number 1 Game, because it combines fighting and rpg the best I've ever seen.
Dude, you straight up picked the first character I played as well. I played up to 99"99 on the status screen with him then switched to wiler.
My favourite series! So many games I've never heard of lul keep going
Why did the first credits roll not count for any%?
One of my favorite childhood games. I wish I hadn't missed the stream for it. Hopefully my life won't be swamped when you get to the sequel! And nice choice of Robo no Hana. He's pretty good here (especially his throw damage due to his loincloth increasing that stat), but he got severely nerfed in the sequel.
you do bring up a good point about how it's a strange game to localize. Robo no Hana is actually a crossover character (along with Bokuchin, and the Sequel game's characters, Gou Fire, Jack, and Ryu) from a sister series known as Super Chinese (only one game came to the SNES localized as Super NInja Boy). No one would know he was from the japanese only Super Chinese World 3 and Super Chinese Fighter
Thankfully the sequel handles the grind a bit better...just a bit. You get to choose the tournament instead instead of just having to continue off of the same circuit. The only issue is, gear gets powerful pretty fast, along with the cpu's gear to the point that you can one shot each other based on a SPECIFIC stat (physical attack, physical defense, throwing power/defense, and projectile power/defense.) This leads to some battle being dumb because an opponent could have maxed out defense and projectile offense/defense, and their only lacking stat is throwing offense/defense meaning the only way to win is with throws (which can take long if you don't have any stat points in throw power.)
This was one of my favorite games I ever rented. I always wanted to own and play this with my brother, but we could never find it. The memories are lost on him now, but I will never forget this awesome game. :-)
It’s interesting that this essentially comes with two different fighting games in it.
Flying Dragon was one of my favorite games as a kid. Probably helps that I had three brothers to play it with so I wasn't just grinding against the AI the whole time.
Oh shieeeeeet! I rented this game so much 😅 right now I'm very excited, grabbing something to drink and some munchies to watch this video!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
I loved this game.
I remember this game being a random rental at my local video game rental store. I never made it past the chibi mode. Game controlled so clunky and I just gave up on it.
Wow ive been trying to remember this game for years ! I grew up playing this game everyday lol I love the Indian kid and the metal bosses
This was a fun game! Thanks for playing it!
I have a vivid memory that has never faded of renting this as a kid, for some reason.
Absolutely loving this series. Can't wait for the other classics 🤙
Hayato @ 9:55 is Kid Gohan inspired, I refuse to believe otherwise lol
I still have my childhood copy of this game in the box haha, it's a sequel/"remake" of an NES action game!
I think there were Flying Dragon games for the NES and SNES also... I vaguely remember playing them if they existed... I remember I always wanted to play this game though. Actually I might have rented this one.
thanks for making this series! I really enjoy these videos.
I think the SD stands for Super Deformed and it just make characters look cartoon-like. There are lots of Japanese games with SD in the title.
I'll be 34 this year N64 was my most prominent console as a kid..never seen or heard this game.. but this would have been dope in 98
Thab's intro is reaching a similar lengendary status of repeatability as Avatar's at this point
Bokuchin jumps forward like one of those hopping vampires.
This series is so cool. Never heard of this game. LOL Hayato looks like Shiryu from Saint Seiya. It even has a dragon on the background
the 2 player was where this really shined, you grind and grind for items to use in vs mode
I played this, snowboard kids, milos astro lanes religiously as a child.
Remember having a bundle game that included Fighters Destiny and flying dragon in one Cartledge
SO happy you got the medals. Legit got worried you didn't lol. I loved this game
Flying Dragon on NES is a REALLY good NES game, I didn't even know it was on 64.
My friend had this one, I never personally owned it, but I remember the cover. Don’t remember much about it
According to multiple sources (Gamespot and Chapter Cheats) Bokuchin has a 10% chance of showing up in a fight.
"who played this game?"
Me having had it as a kid, having playparties with my friends lol. It was a pretty good fighting game, not mk but still enough to play for a couple of hours.
"Guess I better whip out old reliable." -TheBeast721, 2023
I loved this game as a kid with the pseudo-RPG elements in kid mode.
I finally caught up watching all the videos! Now I have to wait…
Wow, talk about being called out. I USED to go by flyingdragon in the old fps (like tribes and pre 1945 old) days.
I seem to recall Wiler had a common thst ended in a side grab suplex that I thought was the coolest thing ever...
Greetings from a fellow Charlestonian! Really enjoying your work.
This Game is the only reason I started watching this series.
Btw, it took me 20 years to get friggin Bokuchin...
at the end of all this, we better get a supercut of you excitedly reading the number and then asking "whats that?"
As soon as I saw the robots stance I said ‘O shit it’s E-Honda!’ Glad me and thab are on the same page hahaha
I had this game. I thought the rpg mode had a lot going for it. Too bad it never got another entry to expand on what they started.
Bro I forgot I about this game ! Thanks for nostalgia
They took a chance releasing this in America in 98. Double Dragon was a big enough hit on NES and SNES they were betting on the title closeness to get sales. Anime was not popular in America at all in 98 . Out of the entire high school , there would only be a few kids into Anime
Omg I'm having some wild nostalgia flashbacks man I need this haha
