I can't believe I've never stopped by this channel before. I just found it by looking up Sega's SG-1000 of all things. The amount of effort is crazy and I have a nice backlog to watch and listen to while I do chores. Thanks man, instant sub
The single quote typo you noticed is because computer programmers stopped using ASCII and have been using Unicode for a couple of decades. Somebody opened up the text in a modern editor and used a Unicode character. Then the Unicode text was imported into the game without thought. It's a super common problem. Robby Layton the RUclipsr bought a huge wrap he probably spent hundreds of dollars on and it's full of Unicode encoding problems. The tool the printer uses is ASCII and the text they submitted was Unicode.
That and a Lynx version would be incredible.! The only console they haven't released it for yet that I've heard them talk about is TurboGrafx/PC Engine. I think they said they want to do a huge HuCard instead of putting it on CD. I'd be fine with either. I'm hoping they make sure it's set up for the 6 button controllers and make sure to use the new graphical tricks that have been figured out within the last few years. Like transparencies instead of dithering.
That new Doom CD32X Fusion game is mind blowing. I thought all they could get out of the Sega CD is better sound but they managed to add more graphical assets.
If I ever develop a game, it would be called "Frustration". All it has is the most frustrating game mechanics of gaming. One hit deaths, enemies/bosses not having lifebars and not giving any indication of damage when hit, multiple water, ice and sewer levels, unskippable cutscenes which will always appear just after autosave checkpoint...
Love the ending sketch with the opposite of the message we've been seeing in arcade games since "before time even began". Especially Capcom arcade games, Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter and Darkstalkers in particular. Loved it Joe! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was surprised that the SNES got these two new titles, I hope more will show up. Vengeance Hunters for the Neo Geo looks great, looks like an early 90's game, it seems the fighting is a bit too slow and the hits could have used more impact to them. Hey Joe, I was expecting you to narrate a few segments in Sacred Line II like you did to the first game. Xenocrisis was exclusively targeted to the Mega Drive, none of the ports change the visuals or soundtrack enough to deviate from the original.
There’s a spiritual successor to Nazca’s seminal side scrolling run n gun Metal Slug. It’s called Kraut Buster for the Neo Geo AES and MVS. You should discuss it in great depth since you drool over everything Neo Geo or Metal Slug for that matter Joe the next time you do either a spiritual successor or new games for old consoles episode.
That end skit sure was something, What that something is remains to be seen, but people are saying it was hilarious. I am one of those people, even though I might be a bot. I just started seeing the reviews for Vengeance Hunters. I have been eager to see how that turned out. The sprite work and art style seem quite good as you say. The art is cartoony, which is fine by me, but it has a certain unique flair to it. The character designs of all three playable characters appeal to me as well, so that's a plus. Even though you had some issues with the structure of the game, your impressions seemed quite fair, and it still sounds like something I'd want to try out. I appreciate a critical approach like that. Nothing sounds like a deal breaker for me. Also good to see more about the SNES version of Xenocrisis ad how they adapted it to the system.
Thank you for mentioning zpf, megacat has been emailing me since August about confirming me shipping address, if not for this video I would have never checked, thank man!
Great video! Alwa’s Awakening got a pretty fun NES port recently. It gets downgraded a touch in the graphics but the core game is still there and it’s real cool to see it running on an NES. I believe it is available in both physical and rom purchases. Maybe a title to show for a future episode?
I'm not really fond of new games on old consoles (specially cause I live in a country where getting old consoles may cost a fortune... like everything else, pretty much), but it's good to see devs putting heart and effor to keep the old styles alive. Brings me back to my childhood and teenage years. Good stuff.
I know people are saying that half of the world today is a crumbling future dystopia, but we still get amazing Game Sack videos every Sunday. So, maybe think about that.
Ok I can't believe that it wasn't until THIS video that I realized "Tate" mode is just the japanese word for "standing" because of how "Yoko" is "side". Mind blown.
Thanks for doing these Joe, it’s hard to keep up with all things retrogaming since we have so much choice now. I hope you can cover the incoming Atari 7800+ and all the launch titles. 👍🏻
This topic has slowly turned to my favorite on this channel. So many cool projects on just about every old format available. Have you checked out Alwa's Awakening for the NES yet, Joe? It's a sort of fake NES game that later got ported to the NES, and is arguably better that way. Physical copies are probably really hard to get by now, but the rom file is cheaply available on both itch and Steam.
Did you do Alwa's Awakening? It's a retro-style flip-screen Metroidvania that's apparently native software for the Evercade, AND it has a downscaled NES version you can play on emus and real systems.
15:41 That background is the train station in Cologne, Germany. Dom translates to Cathedral and Hbf is the abbreviation for central station. 16:07 Rudelplatz is also a station whithin the city.

It’s wild how consistent the quality of this show has been for last 10+ years. Really appreciate the hard work, Joe.
It's formulaic and rote.

definitively it deserves x3 followers than currently .... this show its a gem!
Yeah avgn is the same way imo.

Game Sack... How is this channel not a Million Subs?? 😢
Joe truly deserves it
I made some of the graphics for “The Meating” (like the bosses) - so I'm glad you found them perfectly fine!
Tate Mode is the name of my Queensryche cover band.
There's a Revolution Calling.
The Tate lies.
I assume that’s the best you can…
I'm smiling next to this comment in silent lucidity
Tate Hold of the Flame
I love the fact that they’re still making games for these old consoles, these kind of episodes of Game Sack are some of my favourites.

Awesome! Hope you keep liking the show! :)
Really enjoy taking my work break at 2:00 am, then receiving a new Gamesack notification!
Absolutely!

God bless you overinformed nerds.
No, honestly, we love you guys.
I've seen this kind of thing enough that I assumed it was common knowledge. I guess I'm also an over-informed nerd.
In a world that veers in all directions, you always stay the course and I appreciate it greatly. Keep up the amazing work!
After the ending sketch I think we now now what is really in the sack! Winning!
18:40 THAT'S IT! ARE WE DOIN' THIS?"
Still holding out hope for a Jaguar version of Xenocrisis…

"In this game you play as a rocket strapped to a panda." This could be the most fun thing I've heard in 450 days or so!!
That's pretty specific.
@@Vulpas Just a rough estimate, to be honest.
It needs the mind of a unhinged man to lean into pronouncing tate as wrong as Joe does with full intent.
the power of blast processing will take us into the 22nd century, mark my words
No kidding, a quarter past the 21st century is already gone.
You better buy up all this now though because prices are going to skyrocket in Trump's economy.
@@remnantoftheeye5580Or you can steal it as it was made legal for the past few years.
That new Doom CD32X Fusion game is mind blowing. I thought all they could get out of the Sega CD is better sound but they managed to add more graphical assets.
I find it to be a very circuitous way of playing the game, if you're going the real hardware route.
I HAVE been thinking about becoming a drug addict recently.
Thanks for the video Joe. I love seeing new games getting made for retro consoles.
Best ending skit in a long time, bravo!
The Last Dragon as a blocky beat-em-up @26:24 NICE!!!
Just wanted to say thank you joe i always look forward to your content. It makes my day. Long live the sack
Xenocrisis is going for the Doom status at this point :)
Mega Cat seem to be going for quantity over quality. Didn't look like much of their stuff really warrant physical releases.
It’s been a hard week. I could really use this sack right up in my face right now (on my phone)
TAH-tay - but then, you knew that
I think he's trolling.. and I'm glad. 😂
Wrong. There's no diphthong. It's pronounced [ta̠te̞] or tah-teh I guess if you don't know the IPA.
@@ExitusGSZ Whoosh
Lol you typed diphthong
If I ever develop a game it's going to have "Taint Mode."

Megacat Studios bringing us the much needed shovelware to our retro consoles.
I haven’t laughed that hard at an ending skit in a while 😂
I was just about to drink some cocoa. I nearly spilled it. I had to stop myself during that end skit 😅
1:26 The serenity in your droning of "Tate" is more horrifying than any scream I've heard.
TATE!!!!!
Hmm...tate.
The man is a hardcore tateophile.
Nice! New consoles for old games! My favorite topic!
I always like when i can watch new Game Sack episode for my sunday breakfast :D
That grimace game is so cute
Ignore the taters.
Less hate, more Tate.
Megacat Studios reminding us how mediocrity felt in the 90s.
No kidding. Aside from the shooter, I can live without the other stuff. Looks cheaply made.
*Yay! Game Sack! I missed you last weekend* 💙
Yeah, seriously. Glad you're back!
He releases every other weekend
@@jjenk911 oh
I feel like a video with your top 10 favorite modern games for retro consoles would be a cool idea!
I bought vengeance hunters on ps5 and loved it!
1:29
Thank you for writing that on the screen. All these years I thought it was "tape mode".
New episode of GAME SACK!!! 😊 😊 😊 Thank you Joe!
Getting Sacked on a Sunday is glorious ❤
Love the ending sketch with the opposite of the message we've been seeing in arcade games since "before time even began". Especially Capcom arcade games, Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter and Darkstalkers in particular. Loved it Joe! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another kickass video Joe!
Needed this today, thanks for what you do.

End skits are amazing. Love you Joe! *throws underwear*
Love the channel mate. NEO GEO is one of my favourite platforms. And I have pre-ordered all of the Bitmap Bureau games for it. SNK 4 LIFE.

You should discuss it in great depth since you drool over everything Neo Geo or Metal Slug for that matter Joe the next time you do either a spiritual successor or new games for old consoles episode.
I've heard of that one.
The black XenoCrisis carts were the special edition ones.
Of course your next new games video will be the GB versions
Great episode, Thank you Joe.
Not sure how new the music is but whoever is playing that guitar solo nailed it!

You write like a Bot.
@@joedent3323 Us bots refer to that as "generating text strings".
Ha! You joke like a Human 😊@@ravagingwolverine
Technically drugs would fix all your problems because if you OD, you won't have those problems anymore.
You caught me off guard with the after-credits skit. I was literally playing Dr. Mario while listening to the video on my phone. 😂
Downloaded and played through Dottie Flowers. Really good!
Once again, Joe has renewed my love of beveled PCBs.
This channel is a true videogame channel.
It's been so long since I watched yall but yall got me through some hard times.
i like watching game sack in long spurts
So cool that this is all happening!!
Game Sack is slowly becoming my favourite RUclips show by far!
But the most important things is: "GO DRUGS! GO!".
That Neo Geo Beat em up looks nice.
And people don't need to sell their kidneys to play, since you can buy on other platforms.
I esp love this series. & I esp love to see new games being made for the Neo Geo which shows how much of a powerhouse if was & still is.
Nice. Love your channel.
1:51 I love the BEAM doing BEAM things... reminds me of the British show Mr. Beam. Good times.
Neo geo !! ❤️I’m really discovering this console at the moment and the game boy advance haha.
Gladmort for the NEO-GEO, I've preordered mine
Thank you for mentioning zpf, megacat has been emailing me since August about confirming me shipping address, if not for this video I would have never checked, thank man!
Definitely added Vengeance Hunters to my wishlist. It definitely looks like a great bmup to play on Steam Deck.
Great video! Alwa’s Awakening got a pretty fun NES port recently. It gets downgraded a touch in the graphics but the core game is still there and it’s real cool to see it running on an NES. I believe it is available in both physical and rom purchases. Maybe a title to show for a future episode?
Hell yeah Mario taught me all about amanita muscaria mushrooms and what it means to trip balls 🎉🎉🎉

Brings me back to my childhood and teenage years. Good stuff.
3/10 episode because Joe didn't yell out TATE MODE
Yeah, agreed 😂
Not to mention it's pronounced "TAH-tay" since it's Japanese for vertical.
@kevin12567 which comes from "rotate" in english.
I needed yelling and flames. Honestly disappointed. 😢
@@MegaDeox my mind blew when i realized that Tate came from Rotate because you rotate the monitor.
Omg new sack thanks Joe!!!!!!
Shadow Gangs has a sequel coming out soon too, for a lot of different systems.
I know people are saying that half of the world today is a crumbling future dystopia, but we still get amazing Game Sack videos every Sunday. So, maybe think about that.
Ok I can't believe that it wasn't until THIS video that I realized "Tate" mode is just the japanese word for "standing" because of how "Yoko" is "side". Mind blown.
Those are some crispy boards.
I picked up the Snes version of Xeno Crisis a little while ago but haven't got around to trying it yet. Glad to catch this review.
The pronunciation for Tate, which is japanese for vertical, couldn't be more wrong, but still I loved it!
Thanks for doing these Joe, it’s hard to keep up with all things retrogaming since we have so much choice now. I hope you can cover the incoming Atari 7800+ and all the launch titles. 👍🏻
12:25 Nice dark ambient tones on the Geneisis / MD. Very impressive if it's FM, but I assume it's sampled audio as you can hear little loop pauses.
Love the graphics on Vengeance Hunters!!
*Yes! Editing my own video and now have this playing on my second screen!* ❤
Nobody asked
Finally glad to see Joe from Game Sack finally mentioning about Grimace’s Birthday on the Game Boy Color.

Thanks for the video 😉
Woot Woot! Right as I'm about to go to sleep...nahhh... best stay up and watch me some Game Sack!
Huh, I'm not seeing a whole lot in Project Neon that I think couldn't be replicated pretty faithfully on the Mega Drive.
Did you do Alwa's Awakening? It's a retro-style flip-screen Metroidvania that's apparently native software for the Evercade, AND it has a downscaled NES version you can play on emus and real systems.
"The groom has been kidnapped and you have to kill clowns..."
Oh! the groom's family then...
I love when ancient consoles get fresh games...
Vengeance hunters looks amazing, will def be snagging a port on a modern system

Was hoping this would drop! Before my flight from JHB to CPT, oh well, download on my data here we go!
13:55 enemies flashing white is the standard for shmup's, it's actually odd that this isn't extended to all the multi-hit enemies in the game.
Let's do it.
I want to see a Cannibal Corpse-themed game for the Atari 7800.
