@@Bangyourbirdnumb nothing...I just wanted to support Game Sack...Joe does outstanding work and you can tell alot of time and effort go into episodes...just my way of saying thanks.
@@anthonyjohnson9088 nice, that would be ace I'm sure. I miss Dave, he was my Nintendo guy and loved his humour. Joe is great at what he does, have you checked out Sound Sack yet?
Wow, I can't believe that first game was actually a Genesis game! That's some of the best use of color I have ever seen on the system! When he said it was a Genesis game I was like "Wait, WHAT??".
I was one of the guys who kept bugging him about Magical Troll. :) Glad that you finally enjoyed it, Joe! It's definitely one of the games that proved early on that when the devs wanted it, Genesis/MD could output excellent colorful and cutesy graphics that stand up to anything on PCE or Super Famicom. Only a 4 Mb cart too! Super Fantasy Zone, which came out the same year, is another great example of this.
You know what would be an awesome theme for a gamesack episode? “Left in Brazil” aka Tectoy Master System and Mega Drive games. There are quite a few Brazil exclusives for these consoles and it would be right on the GameSack alley to do an episode covering these games and their differences.
I'm brazilian (and you probably are too) and I think none of those Tec Toy exclusive games are that interesting. Most of them are just palette swaps anyway, with characters that nobody outside here would care much.
Lol. Idk that he was really putting SLX down, just poking fun. I would actually say SLX is a much, MUCH more Sega dedicated fan but the comment was still funny and on point 😂
SegaLordX ... always hated that SEGA tone rip-off theme. Indifference there I am afraid, I tried watching it's a little dry. That is not a put down that is called an opinion. However I feel offended you didn't kiss Joe's ass enough. Since we're doing the whole tribesmanship bollocks. Lol.
I heard the Yakisoban Jingle as I was working on another screen and immediately zoomed in. I first heard of that game by someone's remix of one of Level 3 music, but the remix made it sound a lot more dynamic than I thought by upping the tempo a nudge. Good stuff, Game Sack!
To be exact on the idea of Goiken Muyou, the game's not a Sega pet project that got rejected. It was a project from actual pro VF2 players that basically uses their know-how and programming skills to make it, and it does a bang-up job. And I noticed how there's clues to the movesets the hidden playable devs have, like Bunbun Maru having Kage's moves and how the dude ya used in the stereo sound demonstration has Sarah's loadout
@Back from the Deadpool The creator of Berserk(Miura) said his favorite movie is Star Wars so its very intentional. Japan titles are weird, a full translation of the PS2 game title is "Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Holy Demon War".
The obvious choice for replacing Magical Tatsuuo-kun in an international release would have been Batman. But they should have kept the art style and called it "Baby Batman".
Haha a double meaning. Also means don't sell your used games they pay you 10 percent of what you paid. So don't sell they are only useful in supplying games. So buy buy buy
That second game (the beat em up) looks really fun. I would've thought you'd be running out of quality Japanese-only games at this point but apparently not!
nope, there are a TON of games that were left in japan but werent left there for quality reasons, thankfully Translation Patches have been released for the majority of the 8 to 16-bit exclusives.
What is there a hidden Easter egg in this comment thread do I need to put in the konami code I need answers before I just jump in a comment zone full of sack heads up with hope down with nope hah got Emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The secret characters in Goiken Muyou were some of the top players in the VF2 competitive scene back to the game's release days, in this video's order of appearance : Ikebukuro Sarah, Shinjuku Jacky, BunBunMaru and Kashiwa Jeffry (all nicknames, obviously).
Characters announcing moves: this is actually a thing in Japan, e.g. in kendo you must shout when you attack or you don't score any points. It's supposed to focus the attack.
Just shout or announce the name of the move you're doing? I can see how yelling would help increase power since you're exhaling. But remembering and pronouncing the move would seem to decrease its power to me.
Joe, one of the bonus players in the Anarchy in Japan game is Bun Bun Maru who was a famous pro Virtua Fighter player. I'm guessing the other three guys were too, but I didn't recognize their names.
The 2nd game Nekketsu Oyako was on the ps1 also. The last stage was a pain. You have to plug 2 controllers before you die with the 1st player, you press the second player to continue. That's the only way to get extra lives in the last stage. It's one of those that only give you a limited amount of lives in the last stage.
The four "random dudes" at 14:59 are the then (and even now) famous VF2 superplayers: Ikebukuro Sarah, Shinjuku Jacky, Bunbun-Maru & Kashiwa Jeffry. Ikebukuro and Shinjuku are districts in Tokyo, Bunbun translates to "shake or swing with vigor" (like swinging your fists rapidly and forcefully at someone) and Maru is a suffix for names of ships, swords, etc. also used in names of ninjas (same as in Kagemaru), and Kashiwa is a city in the Chiba prefecture. They were 4 of 6 "Tetsujin" (Ironman) officially recognized by Sega as the best players in the VF2 tournament scene, and they aided with the development of the game. (P.S. And the voices when attacking in Panzer Bandit are just battle cries like "Hiiiya!" and stuff like that, at least in this footage.) 😊
Lol i love when viewers, who already have played a game and enjoy it, turn to you and request you play it so you can film it and then recommend it back to them 😂
I remember having a burned copy of panzer bandit when I had my Japanese playstation. It was pretty fun! Much love from Aurora, the arm pit of Colorado! 😁👍
Yeah, some parts of the city aren't bad but the parts that are kinda overshadow everything else.. I grew up right next to East St. Louis for 26 years. Talk about a bad place. Armpit, more like butthole lol
That chariot game looks like hydro thunder meets episode 1 racer. A good game to show someone without explaining anything and wait for them to ask questions.
Pssycho dreams on snes really does have some amezing transparrancy effects and scrolling backgrounds, O and that joke at the end was the best joke i,ve ever hear here😆
Fun Fact about Psycho Dream: The game was gonna be published as Dream Probe in the west by Renovation Games, but then, the company was bought by Sega and all their published games went to be exclusive for Sega consoles, thus Telenet was left without a publisher for Psycho Dream on this region and had to cancel Its launch with the translation halfway done, there even exists an american cover for this unreleased version of the game.
Picked up the MD Magical Taruruto-kun cart awhile back, had been hunting a copy down on Ebay for years for a fair price. Well, $34 was as cheap as it got cart only, but at least it came with Wonderboy 3 Monster Lair as well. Fun and very colorful and beautiful platformer.
I really like the left in series. Its always interesting to see games in other countries. Personally I'd like to see another left in Europe episode, because I dont see older European exclusive games all that often.

Really like this Left in Japan series.
I do too, it's really helpful/informative.
Its my personal favorite of the channel!
Yeah, my fav.
Me too OF COURSE.
Same
I’ll keep watching till Left in Japan 69. Always go out on a high note.
After many years Game Sack still delivers...the best video game show on RUclips...and the only show I support through Patreon!!!
What does the patreon thing get you?
@@Bangyourbirdnumb nothing...I just wanted to support Game Sack...Joe does outstanding work and you can tell alot of time and effort go into episodes...just my way of saying thanks.
@@anthonyjohnson9088 yeah man for sure Joe's the best. Can never seen to interact with him but yeah his content is amazing.

@@anthonyjohnson9088 nice, that would be ace I'm sure. I miss Dave, he was my Nintendo guy and loved his humour. Joe is great at what he does, have you checked out Sound Sack yet?
The ending skit is abstract art. The rest of the episode is regular art. You rock, Joe!
The joke at the end was one of a kind, no one has ever done anything like it Joe . Bravo, that's why I love GAMESACK.
Joe: "I just got $5 from GameStop for all my games." Dave: "I'd have given you $6."
Obviously shoulda taken the 'receive shares' option 🤣
He' should have taken that $5 and bought some stock.
GME 💎🙌
"Finally, Joe's Snatcher will be mine forever! BWAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

@@jaycarter5965 Absolutely....you can never have enough Sack....of the game variety. 😉👍
Keep your Sack for yourself weirdo hahaha
@Boco Corwin haha nice one..check this out my fellow Sack Fans
Wow, I can't believe that first game was actually a Genesis game! That's some of the best use of color I have ever seen on the system! When he said it was a Genesis game I was like "Wait, WHAT??".
Damn it, Joe, I’m tryin’ to go to sleep here and now I feel compelled to watch Game Sack!
Funny I have the opposite reaction. Thinking of Joe makes me go to sleep like a baby with a smile on my face.

There’s an English translation for the PlayStation port that’s definitely worth checking out!
It also exists on the ps1 but I heard it is not as good for minor reasons.
Hidden Jems , John. Those are Hidden, not always easy to spot. :D
Hope you have deep pockets because you're going to need em.

“And now you can finally die in peace.”
Thank you Joe! I knew you would be the one to liberate us.
Haha that ending was very accurate about GameStop haha
Magical Taruruto Kun is one of the top games for the Mega Drive. Surprised to see it make an appearance here.
That feeling when SegaLordX who's entire channel is dedicated to Sega is less of a Sega fanboy than Joe
Sega Lord X is great and I'd hate for RUclips to be without him. I think it's pointless to put him down as a compliment to Joe. They're both great.
Lol. Idk that he was really putting SLX down, just poking fun. I would actually say SLX is a much, MUCH more Sega dedicated fan but the comment was still funny and on point 😂
SegaLordX ... always hated that SEGA tone rip-off theme. Indifference there I am afraid, I tried watching it's a little dry. That is not a put down that is called an opinion.
However I feel offended you didn't kiss Joe's ass enough. Since we're doing the whole tribesmanship bollocks. Lol.
@@chutton988 He was putting Joe down if anybody. And even then he was just saying Joe is a bigger Sega fanboy which hardly seems like an insult.
@Daily Corvid a year past and I guarantee you're still a dumbfuk.
I heard the Yakisoban Jingle as I was working on another screen and immediately zoomed in.
I first heard of that game by someone's remix of one of Level 3 music, but the remix made it sound a lot more dynamic than I thought by upping the tempo a nudge.
Good stuff, Game Sack!
I usually cringe at your skits at the end, but this one had me actually laughing!
I think he should have went all the way and at least removed all the games from the shot so it would look like they were all gone.
@@technozombie789 I'm pretty sure that was intentional 😜
This series always amazes and disappoints me. How could so many great games be denied to us westerners? Thanks Gamesack, another great vid!
I was wondering where I had seen Joe before. Then it hit me: The Usual Suspects
Thank YOU for making gamesack for us! 😁
I can’t believe that this segment has so many episodes, not that I mind.
Another amazingly high quality and informative video from one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Thank You Steve I appreciate you!
That outro skit tho 👌🏻👌🏻. Not looking at the camera while talking was gold
As soon as he left when he mentioned he was going to sell his games, I was for sure it was a trap set for Dave come by and try to take them.
Or to come by and try to steal Snatcher only for it not to be there...
To be exact on the idea of Goiken Muyou, the game's not a Sega pet project that got rejected. It was a project from actual pro VF2 players that basically uses their know-how and programming skills to make it, and it does a bang-up job. And I noticed how there's clues to the movesets the hidden playable devs have, like Bunbun Maru having Kage's moves and how the dude ya used in the stereo sound demonstration has Sarah's loadout
After a hard day at work it’s the greatest gift to see a new Game Sack waiting!
Love it Joe!!!
That skit at the end though XD
I see Game Sack notifications and I'm instantly happy.
Joe, I like your channel for the game content. But I LOVE your channel for the subtle humour. This ep was on point!
Did you just say "anarchy in the nipple"?
...did he just say "tits"?
Fun fact: Magical Taruruto-kun game on Mega Drive is made by Game Freak. Yes, THAT Game Freak.
Game Freak also made Pulseman and Tembo the Badass Elephant
Drill Dozer.
@@rig85 Drill Dozer is by Nintendo, not Sega
@@avideogamemaster Yes, I know.
Mendel Palace a.k.a Quinty
Wow, first game looks beautiful for Mega Drive. How has that not had more attention before??
Great series! Missed opportunity to say “fryority” when talking about making the fry enemies you priority from the cup noodle game
The Saturn had so many great Japan only games.
Of course and it is notorious that the Sega Saturn was f*cking popular in Japan.
-My favourite Game Sack section by far !!
-Nekketsu Oyako was a launch title for the PlayStation and later was ported to the Sega Saturn.
Who needs sleep when I can watch Game Sack!
Hey, you're not allowed to be here, there's no Vita games in this episode!
Then I realized, Joe is mixing audio levels at -24 LUFS for tv broadcast specs.
That beat em up with Rando looked fun! Definite Neo Geo vibes, too.
Octopuses with boxing gloves, that shit got me dead 🤣🤣🤣
That was the Citizen Kane of post-credit videos. Bravo, Joe!
That ending 😂 A skit inside a skit, that made me laugh. Keep on keeping on, Joe!
Hey Joe! Guess what! Nintendo just announced that Psycho Dream is coming to Nintendo Switch Online internationally.
Hello from Greece still the best RUclips channel with the best quality videos for retro games
Left in Japan series is my favorite. I hope to see Berserk Millennium Falcon Chapter for PS2 someday, it got a fan translation a few years ago.

LOL that dig on GameStop at the end was great.
Sunday afternoon is beer and game sack time!
My Sunday is made.
Thanks!
Loved the skit at the end 🤣
I imported Magical Troll BITD when it came out. I was really impressed with the graphics/colors.
This one of my favorite Game Sack series!
Probably one of my favorite series
Two enemies facing each other punching the air and you walk right in between them. You're sick Joe
That post credit scene gave me a good laugh.
That said there are some interesting titles here. I always enjoy this series.
Thanks for all your hard work Joe, this is still one of the best gaming channels around!
As always , some awesome recommendations. You brought to my attention a few I had not heard of. Keep up the great videos.
The obvious choice for replacing Magical Tatsuuo-kun in an international release would have been Batman. But they should have kept the art style and called it "Baby Batman".
or SD Batman...
No, don't sell to GameStop, Buy, buy buy! lol
