cool lain ps1 video by my friend hazel: ruclips.net/video/Rm47V1O78Ts/видео.html
making this one took a bit longer then expected, as i did not expect kowloon to be 50 hours long lol. but hey das how it be sometimes : )
Dude take your time loved the video and love your content.
Take your time. Really love your content. You are the only one that cover obscure/overlook games.
Hey have you heard of a game called Spirit hunter and it’s sequel NG great horror point-and-click game
I feel like this game is similar to what I imagine would've happened if instead of going to 3D dungeon crawling, the Persona series kept the grid based first person dungeons from Persona 1 and SMT If... and I am living for it.
ikr! I love that type of game, yet, never heard about this one till now
I gotta admit I thought it was just a dungeon crawler when I first saw it
Heavy Persona 2 vibes with this one.
Famicon Detective Club felt very much like curling up with an Agatha Christie mystery, but with gorgeous art (and a few places of minor frustration).
you know what THH always praises games for having a cozy comfy sweet and chill atmosphere, and i'm sure i'm not the first one to say this but thats the kind of vibe i get from his videos. they make me so damn happy and chill inside. his voice has such a nice cadence to it too.. it's just nice!
Thanks Thor. Everytime I'm feeling down and lack the motivation to make things, all I have to do is watch one of your videos. Shit's instant, inspiration up the ass.
glad I could help : )
Kowloon’s 2000s artstyle makes me feel nostalgic.
I'm glad someone is bringing attention to Kowloon Highschool Chronicle. It's amazing how this game just kind of randomly came to the west, but it's a great game! I really want them to bring over the series it's spun off from. No Tokyo Majin game has come to the west.
Tokyo Majin, huh, so that's why I thought of Karasu No Mori Gakuen Kitan when I saw this
Does Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters not count, or is that a spin off?
Shibuya scramble shibuya scramble!!!! That game needs more attention
Gone for a long time. Comes out swinging with some of the thoriest of highheels shit I've seen in months 🥴
watchu talkin' about? he's been updating regularly all year.
But yeah this is peak T H O R
8:10 can we just appreciate how fucking smooth that transition is? Like goddamn, Thor's editing is something else in this video.
Really interesting games. Wouldn't know about them unless you mentioned
Don't know shot about this kind of games 99% but thats why i love this channel, also your humour and editing i love and just in general at least for me you do very original content, no mentioning current real life events, other popular youtubers or anything just 40 minutes where i can truly disconnect and enjoy
Your videos never cease to remind me why i like video games. It's awesome.
I really love just how chill and aesthetically pleasing your videos are. It’s not often that a RUclips channel has such a strong eye for visual design and unique aesthetics
WOW! Amazing video as always. One of my favorite creators on the platform, and I am so glad you are still posting. The transition at roughly 8:15 was top notch. Keep up the amazing work, I love your content!
I never get tired of your narrative style and your intertextual analysis weaving well known games in with these more obscure titles. You are a treasure Mr. High heels.
It's THE Lad! He's here! Wooo!
“You watch them don’t lie”
>.> I only have space in my heart for youuu
Thanks for the recommendations. Kowloon looks like a good jumping-in point for dungeon crawlers for me, a genre I'd always been turned off of due to difficulty and always being one thing. I love the appeal of the whole Lux-Pain style overworld thing this game offers, even if that emotion wheel gives me serious Oblivion flashbacks.
Content like this is exactly why I subscribed.
Really niche games no one else covers, covered in a chill, thorough way. Made me want to try both titles.
the Twin Peaks ref at 1:24 took me by surprise
For 2 had me wheezing. Your videos lately are top tier. They always have been but these are so polished and engaging.
I could listen to you talk about games all day, I dunno how you manage to be so creative with your wording and cadence, but it's awesome, I love it, and at the same time I get to learn about obscure games I didn't know about...or did.
The Famicom Detective Club games don't have less mystery solving gameplay elements because the genre started at that base only to be built on later by DGR,AA,HD,etc. Games preceding it like Portopia and contemporaries like the Jinguji Saburo, Todo Ryunosuke or JB Harold series' had more in depth puzzles or mystery solving elements. Some other Nintendo adventure games of the era did as well, like Time Twist. The progression of the JADV genre is not intuitively understood since the western releases were so few and out of sequence. But throughout each era there have been some games with more interactivity & problem solving and some without. Especially for the mystery titles.
love your videos dude. the details you give makes it worth the watch
your videos make me so happy :) thank you
You are my all time favorite youtuber and I love your style, how you write, your grade A funky boy accent, and the games you talk about, and long form format
Thanks for making my day a little better
Kowloon has been on my radar for a little bit since it popped up on my Switch news thing around the release of the remaster in Japan and the trailer had me :O so thanks for making this video and convincing me to pull the trigger on getting it!
You are 100% right on Kowloon needing a guide haha.
Loved the game but a couple puzzles really stumped me (And brute forcing the answers was not always easy) but more so than that.. I'm still not entirely sure how all the parameters for levelling up worked.
Man Famicom club looks freaking clean
the snes version is probably like one of the best looking snes game of all time too
@@jac1011 indeed, i was randomly watching videos about Super Famicom games and was impressed by the amount of VN/adventure games that has with high quality pixel art, mot pc98 quality but quality nonetheless
The aesthetic ofyour videos is just yes
cannot express how excited I was to get this notification. absolutely phenomenal job as always
I gotta say I love the consistent quality of THH. Slowly grown to be my favorite youtuber. the style of all the videos you have is amazing. That is all :) always looking forward to a new video.
you get an automatic like for playing Neverhood music in the background. such an underrated game imo
Congratz to the Photo game you music'd coming to the Switch! I'm psyched for it
Love u thor, glad ur back, filling my ssd space with amazing old gems as always, thanks a lot for showing me these treasures
your sense of style is exquisite man. also your music is nice.
Damn that description wasn't lying that video was good and I indeed dig it
Your consistent dedication to games with an indescribable tone of comfiness and a dedication to their own vision is what persuaded me to buy this game. I am very glad you did, dude.
this is one of the only channel I have to prepare a snack to eat with.
Every one of these videos are like a movie. Top quality.
I got yogurt all over me 😭😭😭
Massive nostalgia blast from that ffviii ost playing during the nintendo detective part.
didn't remember you existed, thanks 4 coming back
MY DUDE. YOURE BACK.
Holy shit your transitions are amazing.
Could you type include mentioned titles in the description? As a non-english speaker sometimes I have pretty hard time to understand what I have to type in the browser.
Sorry but...
RACING LAGOON IS GETTING TRANSLATED LET'S F*CKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I appreciate your videos. Thanks :)
Translates old game : cool .
Only for Switch : cretaes another barrier.
bro you can get a switch on ebay for like...two hundred dollars. that's "high school kid summer job mowing lawns" money.
@@johannamegido8465 Hehe TFW you live in a country that kids in US that mower lawn could live like kings.
@@wolfgangamadeus232 you almost literally cannot buy something that plays games cheaper than a used switch unless you built a horrible frankenstein PC that barely works and pirate Windows. The only way they could have put this on something MORE affordable is if they just went ahead and re-pressed old PS2 discs with a translation patch applied.
this is akin to saying putting out a blu ray is creating a barrier to entry because you need a blu ray player to watch it
@@johannamegido8465 it may be hard to believe but there’re places where you can have only one console and the price is like a full salary or a high percentage of it.
I love this channel so much. Do what you do thor. I hope racing lagoon gets ported+translated in our lifetime.
Over the past few years you've genuinely become one of the best game critics around. Who else is so in love with obscure and experimental games they'll play them in a language they don't speak? Who else finds the charm in the things most reviewers would consider flaws? Who else approaches every game like it's a work of art, and adjusts their mindset to find what the developers intended? I just don't see that anywhere else, I feel like you're way ahead of the overall community in terms of truly analyzing games as an artform and understanding the breadth of the art's horizons.
Oh! Was this game made by the same folks who did Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters? That also had that emotion wheel and the focus on flipping between social and paranormal. I found it a little hard to ‘get’ at times, which may have been the localisation but watching this makes me want to give it another whirl.
Oh boy, Kowloon looks like a vibe I've been craving so hard without even realising, thank you for educating me!
Almost an hour long video, this is gonna be good
I probably won't play these games ever, but I love the way you share these obscurities with the world. Thanks
God damn it i love you man .....i love you
It's hard not to, aint it
i love how traditional and old school japan is that they straight up go like yeah lets release this 20 year old game in english on the switch. makes perfect sense lol
This was a nice vid to watch high
I love your videos because they inspire me to get videogames I will never play.
YOOO RACING LAGOON GOT FAN TRANSLATED?!
my day is saved thanks to you man
Have some algorithm food since I had to search for this instead of it popping up in the feed.
Excellent video as usual
Thanks for the note on spoiler free zone bro that helps
Good stuff,here's hoping for more of this to be released here in the west.
Oh man, this certainly felt like equivalent to SMT If and Persona 1, but remastered to today's standard. Not really sure how the setting for this game would be, saw a few demons here and there, but looks like it focus more on puzzle and riddles. Given the chance if i could get this game, i would definitely buy it. I'm always a sucker for grid-style JRPG.
Speaking of SMT If before, is there any chances if you could cover the story about Shin Megami Tensei game? There's a lot of unlocalized SMT games in Japan and i figured it would be great if you play it, considering the hype following SMTV that's coming soon. To end it here, keep the good works going, man. See ya
Edit: I know you did cover SMT If at one point, and couple other obscure games within this series. But hey, can't hurt to do more
Literally yelled "HOLY SHIT" when I saw "Racing Lagoon English Patch" at 0:56
Same lol
Not done but I am loving the translation so far!
I remember reading a magazine back in 1998 that mentioned that it'd be cool to be able to play it in English, holy crap.
btw Thor, I can imagine how huge your backlog is but is there any chance of you playing/covering Kwaidan: Azuma Manor Story? I think it might be right up your alley
I love FDC! Can’t wait to enjoy this video before heading to bed
20:02 the ghost jazz absolutely murdered my sides
VEGAS STAKES! That hit the nostalgia button hard. As always, great music!
I appreciate this, thank you
Yo does Kowloon really mean the big-pocket-penny-men are gonna see that this aesthetic is gonna dominate the next few years? I can't fucking wait for more official translations when they realize that everyone who watches videos like this would twerk their hands to the bone just for a sliver of that V I B E
Tokimeki Memorial is fucking awesome . We really need a PS1 eng patch
bru thats like asking someone to translate 3 full books for free. and weeb ass books at that. any translation is a god send.
@@jac1011 for real hahaha . I still want that patch tho . I play the game with a list of Kanjis on my phone . It's really tiring but fun .
wonderful excellent amazing video :3c they're old games, but the crust adds flavor of course
lucky us, midnight syndrome is getting a translation patch. traditional tokimeki memorial has never gotten a translation (big sad) but the girl's side has, the 3rd version for psp being incredible.
yup you made me be very interested in the game.
Might have to check out Kowloon, haven't heard of that one. Also, good to hear Famicom is THH approved.
Kowloon reminds me alot of La-Mulana if it was done as a first person rpg. Gonna have to check it out. I'd also love to see Thor cover the La-Mulana series bet he'd really enjoy those games.
At 2:54 seconds in I had already purchased a physical copy of Kowloon High School Chronicle
immediately bought kowloon after this video. I've been playing the older smt games, and i feel like they would go right along the slow pace of those, but without the annoyances
Thank you for reminding me about Knowloon. I keep forgetting about it :(
Você é muito brabo man, melhor canal do youtubil.
definitely plan on watching this later as that i took a break from kowloon for the time being due to the fact that there is no good guides. and before anyone asks about that one Japanese guide for it has been giving me problems. but from what i played of it i like it and im glad i was able to play it for that i never thought it would ever get a remaster let alone being in English.
This looks great, def downloading lol
neverhood ost in the background, sign of a true gentleman
Damn this looks pretty interesting and fun. I hope we can have it on some other platform than just switch
Nice transitions.
8:17 when I heard that sound and stuff I was instantly aware of what was on the screen despite not looking at it. God damn I love Metroid prime.
Now coming to Steam!
music from crash bandicoot and deadly premonition dolmatin theme is the best)
god I love the translator character
Kuroyou/Black Panther review would be great!
Oh HELL YES NEVERHOOD SONG AT THE BEGINNING
Kowloon has been on my radar for a bit so happy to get someone who loves the wacky shit I love give it a thumbs up.
Hell yeah. Thorhighheels is a vibe.
I did the Leonardo DiCaprio point when I heard the crash bandicoot music at around 13:30
I adore this Eastern Orthodox Church with a Pope speaking in a cadence bouncing wildly back and forth between Southern Baptist Preacher and Soul Calibur Announcer.
Oh yes please cover Shibuya Scramble! I really like this game and its something else that more people need to be exposed to!
That door transition into Metroid Prime was fucking god tier
Why did I rewind the "OOPS HIGH LEVEL ENEMY LMAO" part 20 times I do not know but jfc I loved it every time I did it.
