Same graphics as Scarlett and Violet ffs. Less buggy too
Devils Third is calling your name
Oh that’s sick
Since it's a WiiU, if you haven't already, I recommend Xenoblade Chronicles X. New L.A. is one of the towniest JRPG towns I've ever seen. Stuff changes there after almost every side mission you do. The music is unbearably hip. The story is unbridled mecha anime nonsense. Best of all though, eventually you can fly.
shhh don't say you got a modded wii u nintendo will ARREST you
Man, that last bit fucking killed me. "Named after MF DOOM, like the rapper" and then just one solitary shot of your Geodude being named A$AP ROCKY.
I AM PIKACHUS STRONGEST SOLDIER
rock

Thor, I don't know if you'll ever see this but I want you to know that you are such an example for me in terms of your writing and sense of humor. I'm edging closer to 30 now, which (for me) means that most of the RUclips people that I used to love don't hit me the same way anymore or have in some way done something that has made me uncomfortable watching them. Hoever everytime I come back to you, you hit me with such honesty and fun and personality that I can't help but feel just as appreciative of you as I did years ago. I'm studying to do philosophy and love literature, which means Ive read a fuckton, but still you are one of my favorite writers ever. Thank you for being you. I'm along for the ride for as long as it lasts.
awww thanks : )
@thorhighheels for real though, you and Rubbish have some of the best writing of video game youtubers I watch. It doesn't seem stale, it feels quite impassioned, and the humor comes off as natural. You keep doing you, my man.
If I remember right, the lead director and most of the staff were people who gained most of their experience working on dragon quest. I think it makes a lot of sense when see the common parts between
Bootleg carts in the 90s were such a big deal in Europe because buying official releases from game stores had absolutely insanely high prices and Nintendo had the highest by far. In some cases some of the biggest Nintendo games had a delayed Europe release by months or even years, sometimes there was barely enough stock to meet demand and it would take months to be replenished. Due to games also being insanely valuable on the second hand market, the rental retailers constantly had games stolen from them, meaning they stocked only a few copies of each game at a time. Carrying around a bag full of valuable official Gameboy games was a great way to have your stuff stolen in a time where people almost never carried expensive electronics on their person unless you were a professional photographer or cameraman, so carrying only a cheap multicart in your Gameboy stuffed in your pocket was a smart way to avoid this.
Pretty sure that also the same case in South American countries, only that it happens 10 years later due to how rare new consoles can be in that region
No one bought Nintendo stuff in Europe, the Gameboy was an exception and it was trendy. Though we went from Sega to Sony. Americans were busy with Mario but the kids here loved Sonic (before the PS1). Nintendo only properly entered the mainstream market when the Wii launched as prices were more normalized and they finally started marketing. No one I know ever owned an N64, Gamecube, etc including myself.
@@Manic_Panic Agreed, it's kinda frustrating how nintendo focused a lot of youtube gaming coverage is. I had one friend with a SNES and he had so few games because even back then they were like £70. I had an Amiga and a Megadrive during that era although I had way more amiga games due to piracy and the fact that my parents still thought MD games were expensive even thought they were cheaper than SNES ones.
32 bit era was PS1 all the way, as sample my year of secondary school like 2 kids had N64's and everyone else had PS1's. I remember when FFVII came out everybody was talking about it at school. I even remember talking about it with friends on the train to school and some random dude started talking to us about it.
Don't get me wrong though the PS1 hit at that exact era as a teenager where nintendo was seen as 'kids stuff' and was seen as the more adult console which definitely pushed insecure teenage me towards it. With resident evil, gran turismo, wipeout, tekken, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, MGS etc it definitely felt more mature to teenage me.
Not to take away from Nintendo as I probably would've enjoyed the N64 but honestly even now if you asked me to choose I'd take the PS1 every time. Funnily my first mainstream nintendo console is the switch and alongside my gaming pc I've got most stuff covered.
If you viewed history through american gaming youtubers you'd think that the N64 was the top seller with all killer and no filler. Also that the PS1 was just full of Janky shovelware that has aged poorly.
It does feel like that for the PS2/GC/Xbox era too. Where there seems to be so much praise for the GC and the PS2 (outside of notable massive titles) is just a shovelware machine and the Xbox is just LOL AMERICA HALO CONSOLE.
Man, the B-roll footage was *perfect* this time around. Vietnamese Crystal, the infamous Emerald-Jade bootleg AND that PETA parody game. I grew up with an Emerald bootleg cart and I think my english still hasn't recovered.
(and even as a kid in the age where 3D graphics merely existing was cool af, I thought both Colosseum and Gale of Darkness had incredibly slow and unfun battles - I never ended up finishing that postgame 100-battle challenge area. Seeing realistically sized Wailords in the underground city area was cool though)
Man, that colo colo gato bit got me good. Love you, thor! ❤
I used to love Xd gale of darkness as a kid. I thought the style and “darker” tone felt so cool it was a game my dad played with me and helped me in it so it’s always gonna have some good memories. I’m glad I still have my copy complete in box it’s worth a little money now. People always talk about colosseum over gale of darkness though
Colosseum is darker and thus feels more representative of the era. XD is the better game though.
Nobody agrees with me, but I think Miror B's Battle Theme is better in XD.
They're both excellent games!
Colosseum had a unique aesthetic and feel that tied into the story which made it stand out. GD feels more like a traditional pokémon game.
Love the creativity in this one- up with THH best. The Link freeze frame, colocolo song and ThorLowClogs ending were all fantastic
One of my favorite childhood games, cool to see you cover it. It has such a darker tone and atmosphere to the main series, and the battles are a lot more challenging. Plus that music…so good!
This is one of the few Pokémon games I still enjoy. Love how grimy the setting is in it. So much personality. Looking forward to this one.
Gotta be the influence of ffvii
It’s wild how steril and boring modern titles look compared to this game
@@KopfdesRiesenIt really is. Even the animations in this now 20 year old entry in the series have more character than the new ones.
a certified thorhighheels classic for sure
It's always a great day when there is more ThorHighHeels content to consume
I' happy to see the DS Sims game even tangentially mentioned. That game is such a strange and wonderful gem. My brother and I never played a Sims game growing up, so that game colored our entire Sims Experience.
So glad I stumbled upon this channel some years ago. Thanks for the nuggets of wisdom and entertainment Thor!
I remember my older brother getting Ho-oh in this game. Where you had to capture all shadow pokemon/purify them then do the mount battle mode and beat all 100 trainers.
It was such a struggle but that final fight with Eagen’s Kyocera and Groudon made it worth it. Did the purifying first when I was 15 and felt so accomplished to receive Ho-Oh after Mt. Battle. Chipped away at it day by day. Fun times!
3:50 LET'S GO OKAGE SHADOW KING MENTIONED
1) coloclo caaaat IS THE BEST 🎼
and
b) i was holding it together until thorlowclogs and you made me spit tea down my self. big props
I hope we get more appearances from thorlowclogs they seem like a nice fellow
still my fav pokemon game with xd too. god the soundtrack is just so so so amazing and art style and locations just were so cool to me. thanks for covering this
Thor what have u done, me and my friends keep coming back to this video to rewatch the Patreon bit, we're addicted to Colocolo Cat LMAO
the thorhighheels pokémon video i've been manifesting is finally here
THH editing is on a whole other level - keep up the amazing work, Thank you for this throwback gem!
Unironically would love a series of lowclogs mini reviews, laughed heartily at that, thank you
Idk how your vibes are always so immaculate. Hell yeah
when I grew up in germany, we all had like all the consoles? it was mo war between sega and nintendo, and later playstation. it was just like, what can your parents afford and if you had a nintendo some rando cousin will have a sega and you would be jelly because of some game that you liked but couldn't have. So much of gaming history as told by american gamers feels very much unrelated to my experience as a european
Great video. Paused at 3 mins 15 seconds to go play this game and then come back to this vid in a month. Bravo!
Ik heb dringend nood aan wat meer ThorKlompen videos in mijn leven. Houden zo met je geweldige videos noorderbuur! ❤
Pokemon Colosseum and XD holds a special place in my heart. Before the 3DS and Switch, this was our first expereince to a 3D RPG Pokemon game. Colosseum having a different story was what blew me away. Yeah, the double battles can get old fast and it doesn't mess around with difficulty, but I can forgive those faults because it separates itself from the GBA games. I still own both games and I remember replaying them for nostalgia sakes.
When we reach the point where it's been so many games that I honestly as of now would not be mad if we tried to make pokemon be serious again. There was something interesting about having a protagonist who was a part of an evil group but then defected and was doing his own thing. Not every single pokemon story has to be and then some kid decided they wanted to become the best like no one ever was and that's basically the non-existent plot. Oh and there's an occasional evil group that's just there but even they are just as pathetic and all this leads into the same tired road of beating a bunch of gym leaders then stopping a legendary from Going Out to control beating the elite four and finally there's a non-existent post-game that isn't even that good......God do I miss meaningful post games and Gen 5 and Gen 2. And by this point, I want these guys to grow with their audience through the GAMES and ANIME, not just the manga and spin offs.
wow my fav gaming youtube creator making a vid about my fav game of all time it's a good day
18:03
thank CHUCK i've been looking for this edit for the last 5 hours
This channel is pure quirk and it's really cool
I love Colosseum, I definitely gravitated toward it as a teenage when it came out because "Edgy Cool" phase, but the dusty crunky aesthetic of the game stuck with me and I've always fondly remembered it and Gale of Darkness. Been meaning to do a playthrough of it lately as I haven't done so in many years... when I decided to do the challenge to get Ho-oh OTL (I got it, but oof that 100 battle challenge felt like it took months as a teenager).
Great video! Can’t wait to see what other Nintendo games you decide to talk about. I would love to hear your thoughts on custom robo, it feels like a game everyone saw and never bought but I think it’s neat
It's so nice to see recognition of this game. I had been playing Pokemon since I was 13, but I had only gotten around to playing Colosseum about a year and a half ago. I am not exaggerating when I say it might legitimately be a contender for my favorite Pokemon game of all time, beating out Gen 4 and 5 easily. The region was fantastic, every location was memorable, the music was great, and the difficulty was just enough to be engaging without making it all too grindy, unless you're going for the Ho-Oh unlock with all purified Pokemon and beating 100 floors of Mt Battle. I love the battles just because the camerawork made it actually feel like it was supposed to be a spectacle, each Pokemon having its own set of animations, somehow still way beyond what Nintendo gives us even now, almost 20 years later. The game was infinitely charming to me, and made me remember why I loved Pokemon so much.
The Trails in the Sky music at the end made my eyes dilate... It'd be cool to hear you talk about that game sometime!
been waiting for this one thor!! i wish they would bring back the coloseum style games
I don't know why RUclips stopped recommending your videos to me, I'm definitely subbed and I was concerned you just weren't uploading until I actually looked at your channel. Thanks for the hard work. Soothing jank.
I absolutely loved the thumbnail! This era of Pokemon 3D, between the orre region and the TCG is my favorite aesthetically.
lolol ty for uploading
Best pokemon ost there is. Some badd ass tunes were layed down for this beast of a game.
I JUST PLAYED this last year. I only really like the Gameboy/Color versions of Gen 1 and 2 they are the only ones with the pokemon FEEL I enjoy. But I picked this one up due to the staff having the most in common with those titles. The team changed a lot after this across all pokemon games. And I really enjoyed this game, it was fresh but captured that feeling old GB pokemon did somehow. I love it.
It's always funny to me to see videos talking about Europe as it reminds me how very different things were from country to country. Sweden and the Netherlands are not far apart, but we were absolutely Nintendo central back in my days- Game & Watch, NES, Game Boy, SNES, they were expensive but they were absolutely here: Mario's our boy. Can't deny that it's interesting hearing a perspective in 'Tendo from those who didn't grow up with them though, so I encourage your new arc.
Afraid I can't say much about this game in particular though- I sadly lapsed after the N64 and went for the PS2 over the Gamecube, but in my defense? When you need parents to fund your purchase, it's a hell of a lot easier to tell them the game machine can also play DVD movies. So while I had played the early Game Boy games, I got nothing as far as this game goes.
If you want a fanfiction that gives Wes some perspective and why he was with Team Snagem, definitely read Shadows of Orre. It’s a bit dark in some chapters and while it’s a unfinished, it’s still good
Fuck yes! Mr High Heels AND a new Grim Beard video in one day!!
:y favorite yiu tube channel just posted !!
i hated it when pokemon gave us the power to commit grand theft before taking it away and waggling their finger at us and saying “naughty child u u naughty child”
Pokemon Firered Rocket Edition would be right up your alley. I like it better than almost all of the official games I've tried playing
the combat not being you mashing A all the time adds some mighty big appeal to this for me, ngl
I played ff7 for the first time recently, and I gotta fess up, as nice as its pre renders and music can be, it's combat being smeared 'Mash x' energy right up until endgame
made it a lot less enjoyable when compared to the other ffs I've played,
like, even the reportedly blander ones like X, XIII and even I were a lot more fun for me due to them actually asking you to do stuff in combat
not really a poke fan, but I might check this out, mebe it'll finally give me inroads with the folks I know who are into pokemon
also looking forward to the nintendo arc!
was largely excluded from nintendo franchises growing up, so when I eventually became a functioning adult with cash on hand, I had none of the nostalgic fascination that seems to be the main driving force between bigguns like mario and zelda, so I've always struggled with liking their things (metroid aside)
will be cool to see someone similarly without that interest looking at their stuff
You could mash A in FFVII, but you could also break the game with Beta, too. Lol.
@@chronology556 same difference, the game's combat was boring as hell in a way that has nothing to do with it aging poorly or whatever
I know that voice at the end was Comedy Dutch, but it was also a scarily accurate "afrikaans high school boy" voice lol. the "fokken" gave me actual flashbacks
Thor, I just want to tell you how much I LOVE your style!
I love fat pikachu with keyblades
I never knew this had a story mode. I always thought it was just Stadium with more polygons.
the way the battle camera too-closely tracks pokemon's head positions during close ups makes me think of a vacation dad with a camcorder whipping his shit all around
So I always wanted to play this and XD growing up but looking at the moment to moment gameplay, I think I missed the boat on both of them. But at the same time, I can tell that the vibes are immaculate. Maybe I'll play them one day, but I'm in no hurry
Gamecube is an era I never got into. Better late than never. Need to figure out the mysteries of emulation.
1:08 I just threw that super Mario 3 guy away
Great vid Thor! Love colosseum!
great video thor!
Some reasons for this game odd design, it was made by a bunch of ex Dragon Quest developers, in a very short time for a new console, so a lot was probably just thrown there without much questioning. I love it though, this game little intricacies and weird corners always stood out and kind of stayed with me, especially that adventure game esque type of fell because of the Dragon Quest background.
I lived in Den Haag from 1996 to 2004 and I started gaming on the OG Gameboy but I remember passing me those hacked Pokémon cartridges and having a blast with them.
My day just became outstanding
I fucking loved Pokémon colosseum so much and made me love double battles infinitely more then singles
love the memories i have of this game, even if i'd probably hate playing it now
The protag's shit-eating grin will forever remain etched into my brain lmao
i want to look like a pokémon colosseum character sooooo bad
Bro I just started Lunacid and went ballistic when I saw your name popped when entering the library!
childhood unlocked in various ways
I am all in on a Thor LowClogs video series or secondary channel. That just sounds like too much of a good time not to exist 😂
Thorhighheels, when you called Geno "Boomer Sans" you were really going for the throat
as a person that also did not grow up with the Nintendo first party video game crash I resonate a lot with your videos, I grew up in south America and we also had a ton of bootleg video games so to me Nintendo didnt mean much until I learned about it later in my life and I would also have access to many bootleg games that were mostly on my ps1. I think its very interesting and cool how even if we were both in 2 different parts of the world we both grew up with a similar gaming culture.
YOU SOUNDTRACKED "SOPHISTICATED FIGHT" TO SOUNDTRACK THE SOUNDTRACK ILY
Bruuh I just found you Adolf Nomura too, sick vids and sick tunes 💯
[echoing "oooo!"] hahahaha
The space between the letters in the thumbnail reminds me of bootleg Pokemon cards, very cool
3:44
I haven't seen someone acknowledge Contact for DS in like 12 years. Man of taste, god damn
I was going to comment about I feel like Thor would be into trails and then 18:38 there's trails music and it's like hell yea
Love you bro ❤
yo is that the jazzpunk brass hit? love that game
Nintendo arc lets gooooooo!!! It’ll be fun to see you cover more Nintendo games here and great video as always, thor : )
I'll never forget Bootleg Wario staring down Mario's approaching tanks in the middle of the street
I COME ALL THE WAY TO THE NETHERLANDS, NOT ONLY THAT BUT INTO THE GODFORSAKEN DRENTHE, AND MY SAVIOR, MY IDOL DISAPPEARS. I shall blame it on Geert. Ik hoop dat je het goed doet Thor.
I always wanted this one. I did end up playing XD GALE OF DARKNESS, and I’d love to see you review that as well!
I can't wait for more Nintendo reviews from Thor. I have this game and now I need to try it out again. And Pikachu is the best!
OMG the dunglish, I'm dying!
In the beginning you showed a pic the Power Player. That shit was lowkey one of the best bootleg consoles of all time. W
Thorclogs confirmed to just be Binyot all along
I really like video game youtubers like you. It feels like you're sitting across the table from your audience casually giving your thoughts on a game with some deeper introspection on them peppered in, and not like I'm watching a History Channel documentary narrated by a boring host.
You should make a full song of colocolo cat, cant get it out of my head
you just became lekkerspelen for a few minutes
Dillon's Rolling Western trilogy retrospective IT IS TIME
OOh, watching your Dino Crisis 2 video, I just remembered a very fun action game with pre-rendered BG (and a lot of different endings): Firo and Klawd. If you don't know about it, I recommend you try it. I think you would find this one interesting. Love your work!
pokemon colosseum has such a special place in my heart. every time a new console pokemon game releases, i can't help but compare their look and feel to colosseum and gale of darkness and lament over how ugly and soulless they are in comparison. it'd be nice to return to this darker style of pokemon game, i thought it was so cool as a kid and i still do. the protagonist's character design goes hard as hell
Ah, so we are in the wrong timeline.
True utopia is in the ThorLowClogs timeline.
geno more like boomer sans sent me into a coughing fit
Finally the dutch perspective lmao, but fr I always thought it was weird how popular nintendo was in america cause there was no movement for it over here, 99% of people had a playstation till the xbox 360 came out and then 1 person I knew had a Wii and then later in the 7 gen playstation again for everybody, likely due to the red ring, I mean obviously annecdotal but for the longest time the only nintendo game i had played was Dino City on the snes 1 time, on the other hand handheld, EVERYONE had a DS so for the longest time that was my main connection Nintendo for me and almost every person I knew.
10:54 I'll be coming back to this a bunch in the future, no doubt
I love how you’re always using FFXV OSTs in your videos
thank you for this food on this day 🙏
