Played this game a bunch as a kid!
Still can't believe Frogger got a girlfriend and had kids. Good for him.
AntDude well hi antdude
My guy Antdude having a comment with only 17 likes? Those are rookie numbers people, get those numbers UP
With how many quarters he munched I say he and his family is set
That's how life goes
The baby frogs are Lillie's siblings, maybe if you read the character bios in the manual like a REAL gamer you'd know that...
Looking forward to the weird part of the franchise that's coming up
The great quest?
I remember that one GBA Frogger RPG being really good, sort of the same situation as Hamtaro: Ham Ham Heartbreak where there was literally no apparent reason for it to be as good as it was.
@@dr.velious5411 Hamtaro having a great game makes perfect sense considering Hamtaro rules.
@@Tirgo69 Also the Hamtaro games were done under Nintendo's direction, with some of them being done by the same studio as Mario and Luigi.
@@BloodRedFox2008 hamtaro for smash
Oh my gosh I used to play his game with my big brother all the time when we were kids! My dad would set up our computer and pop in the disc for this game and we'd replay all the levels for hours! I'm so happy to see you go over this game. It brings back so many memories!
God those were the days when DRM requires you to put the disk on as an anti piracy measure 😂
We need a "Nitro Rad explains how Behavior went from A2M and back to Behaviour" counter
It needs its own channel.
Basically how many times Nitro Rad said "ass to mouth"
Well, then we need a "Kinda like Rayman" counter too.
@@Burn_Angel
Also "Kinda like Stars and/or Jiggies"
And a "dithering" counter for Exo Paradigm Gamer
The fact that the same developers worked on Zapper is actually pretty gratifying to me because even though it was really good I always had that thought in the back of my mind, "This is a frogger 2 clone." Well yes, but actually no.
Regardless I was glad to see the frogger formula continue on through whatever the future frogger games do because I hated these games since I saw the box art.
I dunno why, but Lillie gives me those Deviantart "OC DONT STEAL" vibes.
-Recolor
-Trashy add-ons to not make it just a recolor
Yeah, it's pretty much a DA OC don't steal
Andrea I love making those OCs. There’s just something so charming about them these days. Maybe some find it hilariously cringy while I just find it charming
THIS. THIS IS THE FROGGER I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID OH LORD YUS
The Multiplayer was a blast. There are some really awesome elements in this game. an 80's game reboot done right.
Yeah. My brother and I used to play it together all the time when we were kids.
Finally! I hear people talk about frogger sometimes, but no one ever seems to talk about this game. Thank you!
Frogger 2 *revenge of swampy.*
Also the thing I like about nitro rad is that he covers kinda obscure games and it's been interesting learning more about them.
great name and pfp lol
@@crashschwarzen4642 *thank you*
Also I'm pretty sure I've seen you a whole lot today
Edgy
Same
Oh man, I remember this game so fondly. Me and my cousins used to play this game all the time. It’s such a nostalgic game. We had the PC version.
Y'know, Lily's design is actually fairly tolerable if you just imagine she's wearing a makeshift wig. Like, made of mop string or even borrowed from a discarded doll.
I'm sure that's not what they were going for, but considering the hair already looks out of place it's not hard to imagine it's fake. It even gives her a tiny bit more character- she's just trying to accessorize.
It's funny because all of Lily's later appearances ditch the hair, so for all we know, this could potentially be canon.
Neigh and Whinny McHorse - I’m more bothered by how Lily’s mouth hangs open a lot. It’s unsettling.
O p
@@Davtwan Makes perfect sense to me - they *did* have five children after all. Lily is a freak~
@@zelg.5551 Considering they're frogs it's really not that crazy 🥴
I discovered your channel like a week ago. Been watching and following you ever since. Absolutely in love with your content. It's nostalgic in a way, and just fun. Keep up the good work my dude.
I started watching him since that Blinx review. Funny thing is, my nostalgia kicked in and searched Blinx on RUclips, and his review was shown to be uploaded like a week ago.
@@heavy_ang_patay Damn dude, hearing of other people that played Blinx is great. Feels like it existed in a fever dream sometimes, such an odd game.
Welcome to the Nitro gang buddy
Frogger's glide might be a reference to flying frogs
Just saying
He ain't a flying frog though
Did not know there was a species of frogs that could glide. Thank you for that.
Can we truly agree that Swampy Isn't just an underrated villain of this game but truly deserves a comeback In Future Games! XD
@Imitation Station Wonder what his moveset and Final Smash gonna be like outside of looking a like any other obscured cartoon-styled villain?
I like how Nitro Rad covers obscure games we've probably never heard of. Really gets us to try outside our bounds.
Yeah
I did too but no one cared
@@littenfire3563 I guess you weren't rad enough.
normal people: playing gta san andreas
nitro Rad in the corner: *playing frogger 2*
@Zachary Rugar Just beat that game again recently, on the Gamecube as well. It's actually a really good game and is my favorite Cars game.
Me: playing cuphead and whatever steam games I find interesting
@Zachary Rugar On the Gamecube? I tbought the Wii or something
I'm actually glad that there's no boss fights; when was the last time a platformer tried NOT having any boss fights? Truly a trope that NEEDS to be delved away from sometimes.
8:50 Mel Blanc's last name is actually pronounced "blank."
@Damien Le verge It IS.
Then why did Bugs Bunny say it like Blahnk
@@karabartley ....he did not.
So glad you mentioned the Dreamcast version and how much smoother it runs, I was getting worried that it may have ended up being forgotten when you were talking about how much the performance issues were slowing down the gameplay.
I've noticed that a lot of Dreamcast versions of PS1 games run better. When I saw Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast the first time I was shocked. I didn't have the words for it, but I was seeing anti-aliasing versus no anti-aliasing in a game for the first time in my life. I don't know why the Dreamcast wasn't more popular, a lot of the releases for it were much more stable than PlayStation's.
@@wareforcoin5780 I feel it was due to timing. By the time the Dreamcast came out the Playstation and N64 had been out for awhile and had grown their own playerbases that might not have wanted to jump to a new console yet.
@@Takimeko it's complicated. Multiple internal mistakes is what eventually led to the Saturn failing and the Dreamcast having an early death.
@@wareforcoin5780 well the Dreamcast is a 6th gen console so it better be able to play 5th gen games better lol
Thank god it wasn't forgotten
I remember playing Frogger 2 on Windows with my dad, we found cheat codes and one of them made it so you could grab and eat *anything* with your toungue, it was really fun.
That's actually a mode you unlock after getting all the coins in all the levels. I think it was called "feeding frenzy"
Thanks Nitro Rad, I was looking for something to watch, and you saved me from settling for cheezy horror movie reviews.
Do the Tak trilogy! Tak and the Power of Juju,
Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak and the Great Juju Challenge! These three games are gems that need attention! Your the guy to do them justice! Please and thank you!
Plot twist: he reviews the GBA versions.
I'm surprised he hasn't done the Jak trilogy (and side games) yet. Maybe because he chooses more obscure games?
@@cheyguy1211 That's likely, but he did a Mario marathon a while back so he might cover other well known 3D platformers at some point. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, he'll likely cover these when he feels the time is right (like he did the 3D Mario marathon around the time of Odyssey's release).
Liam triforce reviewed the Tak trilogy, I recommend you his videos ^^
My friend and I love this game. We spent hours on the multiplayer and taking turns playing the single player. Tons of memories with this one!
This was THE frogger. Played with my sister every day for months on our computer in our "computer room." So much fun to remember.
Nothing like a NitroRad video to make you realize that those foggy memories of a game you loved as a kid are in fact real and not made up in your head. Holy shit I LOVED this game.
10:50 I see the Frogger's Adventures games in the bottom of the screen, yessssss!
I got that when I first got my GBA, so nostalgic
I need a Temple Of The Frog review lol
@@lucidity1353 I heard that one was quite solid, but dont find much on yt about it so Im curious.
@@Evilriku13 I just rememeber it being hard as balls and there are 4 or 5 bosses
2:05 fun fact: in Italian SEGA means hand-job.
This was hilarious when i was a child XD
Easily my favorite PS2 game ever. This game comes to mind every few years and I miss playing it so much
I played this game on PC, so I don't remember if the framerate issues were a thing for me back then.
God, this video takes me back. I was able to recognize a lot of the levels shown in the gameplay footage (especially the ant-hill level, I remember that being one of my favorites).
I grew up with this game on the pc, those were the days. 🐸
*"The Tongue Move Works Exactly The Same Way."*
Don't forget the unlockable Feeding Frenzy when you beat the entire game...I always had a blast with that lol! 😂😂😂
The PC port of this game was the very first retail game i legitimately wanted to buy back when Demos were given out with PC magazines. Frogger 2 remains hands down my most favorite Retro PC game of all time.
...also i had a huge crush on Lilly Frog back when i was small.
This was my second PS1 game (first was Mr. Domino)
*"Back In The 80's Frogger Was A Smash Hit In Arcades."*
You can say that again, but the thing is...I never really played the arcade games...I did however play them in the game you're talking about right now! 😎😄😁👍
They should've called frogger 2, "toader"
how about no?
Lol
Did someone say my name?
I agree but I also hate this.
Stoked you're covering the Frogger games. This was a big part of my childhood. Can't wait to see more!
That's not snake it's Tron. Specifically the old-school light cycle mode in the first Tron arcade cabinets.
Which is just multiplayer Snake
@@DarkLink1996. yeah except Tron came out 15 years before snake... So Snake is just a single player Tron.
except tron disnt have you eat dots and lightcycles left a permanent wall while in snake your "trail" follows you and represents the dots you ate, also snake and frogger have more in common with each other fiven their origins so it was more likely that the devs had snake in mind
@@mistery8363 We're just gonna forget that Blockade exists?
@@supermariofan772003 idk about it but it doesnt change the fact that it plays like snake and not barricade/ligh cycles/vostroyan tic tac toe
nitro, if i convince you that tony hawk underground 2 is a collectaton just like mario and banjo would you make a video of it?
@@phantomninja6079 Its not just that, the structure of the game is the same as a collection, but instead of collecting an object you get points. You're on a small open level with a bunch of things to do, on a mario game you would do something (like getting to the top of the mountain or bringing the penguin down) and be rewarded with a star, on thug2 each goal gives you a certain amount of points to unlock the next level, you don't need to complete all of them, just enough to go to the next level (just like you don't need all stars in mario). And you do them while you explore the map, they're all on a list on the menu, but you need to find where it is and do it by yourself.
I think thug 2 is the one that fits best because in other tony hawk games they give you a timer to do as much as you can in one run, on thug 2 you have unlimited time and you will spend most of it exploring. Thug 1 is also different but it mission based, you need to talk to an npc to activate the mission first, then do it, if a mission is to grind on 5 cars you can't just go there and do it, you need to talk to him and be on the "mission mode", so exploring the map is not as interesting because you are just looking for npcs to tell you what to do, you have no reason to just wonder around. I didn't play american wasteland so I don't know if it's like thug2 too
THUG 1 was better and I will physically fight someone to prove it.
James, ever sinds i saw your rayman video i must admit that i have been enjoying every single episode you made,from the wide range of indie games to the old classics which brought back memories. Thank you for making these vidoes and thank you for being the way you are. I really enjoy your videos and keep going. You got my support . All the way from holland :)
I have never seen these games in action and those type of games usually makes for the most interesting videoes like this one
First off I've seen you everywhere as of late.
Second everyone always asks for the sauce of your pfp.
Third, James has his forte in those kinds of games. Gives me interesting games to look out for.
Nostalgia is pretty strong. I actually loved Frogger the great quest when I was a kid. It was the first game I ever beat. Me and my mom would sit there for hours trying to get through it. I remember it being a lot of fun
Hell yeah. A new Nitro Rad vid to watch on the bus trip to work.
*"Wow, This One Actually Has A Title Screen."*
And it has a rocking tune to go with it too...I swear I love the title screen for Frogger 2...it's jamming! 👌😎👍
8:50 And I know exactly where that scream crops up, too!
*"Don't Forget To Like The Click Button."*
Lol what!? 😂😂😂
There is a species of frog that has bigger webbed feet that allow it to glide
This was a fantastic game when I played it! It’s great to hear your thoughts on it!
one of my first games on PC, good times. Another Blitz Games game Bad Boys Miami Takedown actually had a shout-out to Frogger when you get into the arcade in one level.
You're one of the best game channels simply because you look at all these old earlier 3D era games even if they're less known, it's from that time period that's really nostalgic for me and there's so many I never knew of as a kid.
One thing I think that could of been done is that the eight playable characters could have had gameplay differences; it felt like we only played as Frogger with different costumes. I even have ideas for the eight characters special abilities.
Frogger: Able to take two hits from most things (some things still kill in one hit)
Lillie Frog: Fast movement speed
Tad: Able to glide extra long
Treeby: Triple jump
Wart: Able to eat any insect enemy
Tank: Able to stun animal and robot enemies, making them harmless for a few seconds (no effect on obstacles)
Roobie: Able to eat many obstacles, but not robots or animals
Swampy: Able to eat robots and animals, but will get full if it's used too much, and will have to wait a little to eat again
Nice to see that you're actually rescuing the baby frogs this time, rather than just flat out exploding them to death like you did in the first game...
Lots of nostalgia for this one. Played it all the time with my dad.
I ordered my Frogger 2 copy from UK last week. While waiting, I found this channel :) keep bringing underrated games.
I used to love this game as a kid. Looking back at it I can tell how fun it is. A true classic that offers a unique experience compared to modern games. I hope to replay one day.
so many classic games I've really enjoyed but somehow totally forgotten until someone makes a video about them.
Oh man I grew up playing this game a ton! Excited for the rest of your Frogger coverage, Nitro!
Childhood game right here!
I love how swampy tries to make his own game to outsell frogger’s game that’s such a funny gag
Good to know the only Frogger game I've ever played may well be the best in the series.
My younger brother and I played the Windows versions of this game and the previous game all the time when we were kids. He preferred Frogger due to the aesthetics, music, and level design, while I preferred Swampy’s Revenge because of the much improved gameplay and the cute story. We had fun with both, and these two games are responsible for a lot of great memories for me.
This... actually looks really cool! The Dreamcast version seems to be pretty reasonably priced, too!
I think this one will be making its way into my collection
Did not expect to hear him say BHVR in this video like it was legit whip lash to hear their name out of nowhere in a video about Frogger
This game IS my childhood. Also the soundtrack is bangin'
I had this as a kid , loved watching my dad beat it! I had a lot of fun and loved the cutscenes
Nitro Rad, Scott the Woz, Chadtronic, Brutalmoose, and PeanutButterGamer make my day.
I was obsessed with the game to the point that all my dreams starting looking like this. And yes it was very frustrating but i was great at it 😂
"Stay tuned!"
Okay :)
*Leaves video in repeat for a week
Oh god, Nitro. I was given The Great Quest as a birthday present from my aunt when I was younger. I played so much Swampy's Revenge on PC that I was excited when I got that.
You're going to fucking hate it.
Frogger: The Great Quest was the first video game I ever owned! I cannot wait to finally hear another human being acknowledge its existence
I remember me and my sister would play this like crazy. Playing the Tron like mode was our favorite and in race we'd tried to pin each other's frog and time it so that if you wait for a trap or car to come by with enough time to get pass it but have the other person wait, but you can get pinned in the middle of the animation and the other person can get safe and put you in danger so this plan can and will get countered or reversed.
The gliding move isn't actually that implausible. Believe it or not, there are a few species of frogs that can glide using their webbed feet.
Judging from his green color and yellow-ish webbed feet, the Frogger in Swampy's Revenge most likely belongs to a species called Wallace's Flying Frog.
*"I Am Absolutely Stoked To See What A Train Wreck This Is This Is Gonna Be."*
I laughed so hard lol! 😂😂😂
I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD GET THAT KANGAROO
Frogger had a ruff transition to 3D
Thank you so much for this review! I had no idea the sequel was far better than the first game. I may look into it some day, just as I've already had bought Zapper for the PS2. It's because of this channel that I've been introduced to so many overlooked platformers and for that I am grateful to have subscribed to this channel!
You know what's...rad?
I haven't really played platformers since the PS2/Xbox/GC era but I really like platformer / adventure game videos you do. it's like looking back at my childhood, even if it's titles from the present era or something.
Here's some words what will probably give people who played this game PTSD flashbacks:
-Research Lab
-The Infernal Machine
-Lava Palaver
-*Windup*
I wonder how many people realize the effort that goes into these reviews? Thanks for the high quality content!
Funny how this was made by the sane company as Lilo and Stitch: Trouble in Paradise.
Also, yay, or nay on a Frogger PS1 remaster.
i worked so many hours into this game as a kid, it was sooo fun
Love your videos man - If you ever come to England I'll be there!
I played this game as kid on my PC. I don't remember ever beating it, but i remember being scared of playing it without turning on the tv to play cartoons first.
Man, if I grew up with this game, my painful memories of the original PS1 Frogger would have been eased.
Man, this video got recommended to me out of the blue and I was SO excited to see that someone talked about it. I distinctly remember watching my brother play this while my mom made orange flavored cinnamon rolls and I always think of this game any time I have them. Anyways, I've now binged half of his stuff because there are soooo many games that he's covered that I thought that no one else had heard of before or just didn't give a shit. 10 out of 10, do recommend.
When the title screen music started my heart exploded with nostalgia.
Were you aware that the PC & PS1 versions used early versions of the Dreamcast final music? You can hear slight changes for example with Super Retro Theme and Super Retro Theme (Alternate) on my channel.
@@RingsOfGeonosis That's cool, I grew up with the pc version, so I didn't know that.
This game was the first one to entice me via commercials.
On another note, thanks for acknowledging Mel. I was planning to call you out if you hadn’t
My sister and i played this all the time on PC as kids. Great memories!
Oh my childhood. I can feel those old days yet again
I grew up playing that multiplayer Snake-like versus minigame for years with friends
Frogger 2: Swampy strikes back
Frogger’s face at 10:05 is reminding me of the prerendered scenes from some of the older Worms games for some reason
My grandparents bought this game on PC for when I visited, I knew it would hold up!
A little disappointed you didn’t bring up the music at all, the tracks are really tight and simple, and they kind of get stuck in your head!
Were you aware that the PC & PS1 versions used early versions of the Dreamcast final music? You can hear slight changes for example with Super Retro Theme and Super Retro Theme (Alternate) on my channel ^^
"You never go ass to mouth"
This was my childhood bro. I want them to make a remake so bad.
The goldmine level's music is beautiful, I love it so much
Were you aware that the PC & PS1 versions used early versions of the Dreamcast final music? You can hear slight changes for example with Super Retro Theme and Super Retro Theme (Alternate) on my channel.
I LOVED this game as a kid and even own retro hardware just to play this game again recently.
We always played this on our PC when I was a kid. It was definitely my favorite game. I recently downloaded it onto my computer from some website and it runs perfectly smoothe in 1024x768
Yo, I know this is 3 months later, but what website and what windows are you using? on Windows 10 for me the game is in purple and green colors only and runs on half the screen (altho that might be cause of my resolution
@@koraxx2085 I'm on windows 10 too. You kinda just have to mess around with the resolution a bit. It also helps to run the troubleshooter because it runs the game like it would on Windows XP
With all of the problems you were talking about in this video, I have a feeling you’re going to love some of the later games. I grew up playing Frogger: Ancient Shadow and Frogger’s Adventures: The Rescue on GameCube. They’re so fun.
Yes! Frogger the great quest is next! I've been waiting for literal years for you to review this one!
Mel Blanc's screams are available on the WB SFX library. Blanc's stock screams and vocal effects are used less (because the recordings are old and low-quality) but a lot of studios still own the library because it has a lot of great general cartoon sounds and other SFX. Nintendo used sounds from the library in the finished version of Mario 64, and modified versions of the samples still turn up in Nintendo games occasionally, even today.
