    This is the sort of thing I LOVE this channel for - showing me games I never knew about that look good and interesting!

      Benjamin Ramsey me too. But it's been in "Did you know gaming". So it's another great channel to follow. "Region locked" was the series that comes with this game

    Been waiting for this video for a long time on this channel! So glad you were able to cover it as it is one of my favorite SNES games...I feel like this is a game every SNES fan should experience!

    I'm a non traditional college student, studying accounting. I'm currently a senior. (Who cares, right?) Anyway, I'm in a business ethics class that requires analysis and presentations on cases that's done in groups. One of my group members said something like, "I always ramble on or don't say enough and can't quite figure how to strike a good balance. Got any advice?" I showed this person your channel and said "I don't care if you like video games or care about them, this guy is a great presenter. You should listen to him." (Our class meets once a week). Saw that person today, and she said to me after class, I shit you not, "Like hey, do you know what emulation is, like how it works or how to do it? Like, I want to try some of the stuff in those videos I saw, but those old games are expensive, but I saw emulation or something...?" I'm like thinking... Uh..."So watching the videos helped you with presenting then? "Oh yea! He's awesome! But, you know anything about emulation or whatever?"
    Bro... You ruined my group member I think 😆
    Have a great rest of your day!

    Really nice to see this game featured. If you like SNES games that are a little different like this one, the recently translated "Stories of Ihatovo" is also totally worth checking out.

    What a super facinating game! It's not very often I'm introduced to a 16 bit game that I have both never heard of or even seen, leave it to drunk to be the one to do so lol.
    Great stuff as always, and you have a great rest of your day as well.

    @AndresRivas-kp3oy 5 лет назад +6

    I had a Nintendo Power subscription when I was a kid and remember that article on Marvelous. I was super excited but never got to play it, only realizing years later that it never made it to America. Still looks really cool and this was a great video.

    @kirbyhero256 5 лет назад +1

    Heck yeah, I found that Nintendo Power issue at a friend's house one day and really wanted to find out more about this game. I fell in love with it through emulation, and I actually started trying to learn Japanese to figure out what to do when a puzzle would stump me. I picked it up again recently when I learned about the translation patch, and finally beat the game. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

    just finished this about three months ago, a wonderful treat for someone who's been replaying LTTP for 20 years. don't know if i'm the only one who had 3 or 4 "where tf do i go now?" moments in the game but they were real downers, though the only kind the game offered. not even really puzzle solutions just gaps in obvious progression. thought i should mention as a warning to others but besides this, super addictive storytelling of the highest order.

  • @Dj.D25
    @Dj.D25 5 лет назад +1

    I do remember seeing that game in that issue of Nintendo Power. It did surprise me a bit that the game wasn't released in the U.S. since the character names and artwork look like they would appeal to western audiences. Maybe if the game was made sooner it could have been released in the U.S.

    Another great review. I know you tend to stay in the 16-bit genre, but I've wondered if you've ever played the PS1 game, Alundra. It's very much a spiritual successor to Landstalker, but plays more like A Link to the Past. It's a phenomenal game that really looks like it belongs on the SNES, which is how I first found it. Check it out.

  • @rockajabroni5975
    @rockajabroni5975 5 лет назад +3

    I played this game just last year and the originality and innovation stunned me. This is on Secret of Mana 2 level as best title not to be given a worldwide release. And the storytelling on the second island was just amazing, anime worthy.

    Hey Snes Drunk, I love your content! I was wondering if we can expect a Super Famicom RPGs part 6? You could do for example Dragon Quest I & II, Dragon Quest III (the Super Famicom ports), Magical Land of Wozz, Tengai Makyou Zero, Ancient Magic, Adventures of Hourai High, Dark Law ~ Meaning of Death, Metal Max Returns; there's a ton of them out there. Also, a video on the three Super Famicom Fire Emblem games? I joked earlier in the year that you'd be done with the entire SNES library by the end of the year, but there are a ton of games, especially Japanese games, that you have yet to cover.

    • @SNESdrunk

    It's unplayable unless you can translate the puzzles. Even the English patches don't fix that issues, only the NPC dialogue.

    • @DGR_Dave
      @DGR_Dave 5 лет назад +7

      You may have an older version of the translation...the one I played a few months ago had everything translated to English and I had no issues with any puzzles. Maybe see if you can get the final patch somewhere so you can play this game! :D

    I would buy a Switch if Nintendo made a serious effort to have a LARGE retro library of games. Hundreds on NES games, hundreds of SNES games, hundreds of Gameboy games etc. I remember the Wii's Virtual Console had a few good games but nowhere near the amount that they should have. There are so many games from Japan that never made it here.
