Huh? I've always pressed C to butt bounce in Castle of Illusion. I rarely ever press down. You might be referring to when we talked about Fantasia which ONLY lets to press down and not C.
The original Monkey Island games and their "Special Edition" remakes were outstanding. They got the original voice cast from the '96 Curse of Monkey Island to fully voice act the silent classics along with faithful, all hand drawn graphics of the entire games. These are my 2 favourite remakes of all time. So much love and care of the original material is very rare these days.
Another great episode! I've no idea how you're able to review & splice footage of so many games every fortnight. I've the opposite opinion of Flashback (SNES), I loved it to bits, I didn't bother playing the remake as it was universally panned. Hearing your take on it makes me wanna get it.
you guys inspired me to buy my own set of retro consoles, including nes, snes and a megadrive, with some of the games you've been talking about. It sure was worth it. Thx, Joe and Dave, you're an amazing duo!
I like how you guys come back mid-video to break things up. I watch a lot of these 'top ten/compilation' style videos, and most people just show footage all the way through & it can get a little fatiguing. Fine work.
Gotta say, this is one of the best-produced retro gaming channels on RUclips. Great editing and video quality. Keep up the good work, fellas! You deserve a million subscribers.
Another one if you guys ever get the chance to check out is Wild Arms Altered Code f. it's a remake of the original on PS1. Not only a great remake but actually better than the original
The code and the graphics are from the PS1 version. A few things were changed around, sure, but the assets are all from the PS1. But really, that's not a game we were covering in this episode. We just mentioned it's there. The XBLA download version had horribly compressed sound to fit the 80MB or so limit they had at the time. This version doesn't.
I know this is an old episode and I'm late to this but the Symphony of the Night port in Dracula X Chronicles is actually a semi-updated version that added back in the Maria boss fight from the Saturn version and improved voice acting
I just got in a car wreck today and I was feeling really down. As soon as I saw that you guys had a new episode, I was so pleased. This is exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Thanks guys.
Flashback original was MUCH better than the remake. All the charme is gone - and belive it or not, controls where good, managed to play it through on snes and mega drive... Sorry, you missed something here, for its time this one was epic.
The best Flashback experience you can have is to play it on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo version might have slightly better graphics or sound "as it does with most games". However, the Super Nintendo version suffers from slow down during cutscenes. Flashback on the Genesis is one of my personal favorites on the system. I'm not a huge fan of the the Genesis as a whole though so maybe that isn't saying much. As for the remake, I've never played it myself so I can't speak for its controls, etc. I've watched gameplay footage though and was annoyed enough by the "talkie" voice they gave your character that it made me not care to play it.
Ididn't knew that The monkey King on the Wii was a remake. And you are the first person I heard that liked Flashback on the XBOX. FF1 & 2 on the GBA were great remakes, and Metroid Zero Mission was one of the best remakes ever along with Resident Evil Remake.
A bit late but, if you guys make another Remake themed episode, I would suggest covering the Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid remakes for the Gamecube. Both excellent remakes and in many ways superior to the originals.
+Manny Akintunde the Metal Gear Solid remake on the Game Cube plays very well and it feels more modern than the old version, but the cutscenes have been made super silly, and they didn't redesign the boss fights around you being able to aim in first person, so it's kind of a toss up if you want graphics where characters actually have faces and eyes, or if you want the more low-key experience that is properly designed.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed was an amazing remake. You guys should've included it in your video. In another note, the Flashback remake reminds me a lot of Shadow Complex. Is it from the same developer?
Rondo of Blood is my favorite Castlevania game, and although the remake was a tad underwhelming, I'm glad they rereleased the original. It deserves a lot of attention, and packing it with Symphony is an ingenious move.
Sega CEO : Ey guys do you put the butt stomp on the remake? Sega Australia: huh nope Sega CEO : well we are not to gonna put more money on this studio then
The "hyper-cute" super-d Mega Man appeals to me, and i'm not a pre-teen girl. Kawaii is massive in Japan; there's no stigma about finding cute illustrations appealing. It's human nature. I agree about Castle of Illusion. The original was one of my favourite games as a kid, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out excellent! I play the same way, too; d-pad thru the majority of the game, and switching to analogue stick for the 3D parts. I also miss the butt bump, but I love the narration, personally. It's very Disney. I've not played Ducktales yet; i've been waiting for the physical release to spare my HDD. I agree with people who said if you ever do a part 2 to include GC Resident Evil and Twin Snakes. Also the FFIII remake and Double Dragon Neon are both good.
I love you guys sooooo much. Everytime you release a new episode the world becomes just a little bit better. No, a lot. I am waiting for your 100th episode so all wars will end and most of the pollution will disappear. Thank you. Joe and Dave. Gods walking the earth.
I wouldn't say that. Check out Luigi on the TV behind us in the opening camera segment. The first Luigi is from the original SMB game. The second one is from All Stars. Everything has been completely redrawn.
8:58 Sing some of the lyrics?! I know 'em all! Morphine makes the holy known (Uncle Lina) Eyeing up down that sappy nun (Uncle Lina) I'm going to stroke it Your arms are broken UNCUT - OH OH I'll stop now.
Nothing makes me more happy than sitting down with some snacks and finding out that a new Game Sack episode is out! Also good on you guys for changing your name from MrGameSack to just Game Sack! It was a bit off! lols
After seeing videos of the Dracula X remake, I knew I would be avoiding this game. Then I found out about the translated original game and SOTN included, and I was sold. Metroid Zero Mission was awesome, I agree there. For the next Remakes, there are all those versions of early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games out there. Keep doing lookback videos like this, they're educational.
For the record I agree that Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles was cheaply made believe it or not a hell of alot of other games are being made like that. Worst one is Mirror of Fate, Judgement, and Lords of Shadow its kinda sad really. It makes the puzzle game of Castlevania look better then anything.
By the way, despite your peculiar scripted acting, you guys make some of the best gaming videos. You guys are both thorough and descriptive. Keep it up ok? :)
Since you guys are obviously very into retro gaming, and collecting, I think it'd be awesome if you did an episode on how someone new to the hobby could get started. What are some systems that aren't too hard to get ahold of? What are some of the cheapest/most common games for the more exotic systems? What are the best places to buy online? What are common pitfalls? Where do you recommend a new collector start?
The new "final form" boss fight for Dracula is worth it alone. I like both versions, but I always thought that for such a tough game Dracula was pretty easy in Rondo of Blood.
I was totally creepin on your page. Im a huge fan of the show and needed to know more about you guys. 41 is not so bad at least you got to live through all of the gaming generations. Im 29, so while I remember NES/Master system, the genesis/SNES was right in my wheel house.
Flashback? really? Think they were a bit short on games because Flashbacks controls were TERRIBLE, the graphics are TERRIBLE and worst of all, the game is FILLED WITH BUGS! Unplayable. I know these guys are all like "ooooh 90! Those are the only remakes we can make. Sega genesis and NES/SNES ONLY!!!" F*CKING HELL!!! Dunno why they didn't include Black Mesa for Half-life...
I didn't feel that Flashback controlled terrible at all. Sure, it controls nothing like the original, but I thought it was more intuitive. The graphics were pretty good for a downloadable game. They didn't have that low-budget feel that a lot of download-only games do. And if there are any bugs int he game that make it unplayable I certainly didn't encounter any. I honestly don't understand why this game gets so much hate, but must conclude that the hate comes mostly from fans of the original.
Game Sack Just had too tell you too make that jump on the second level of Flashback just run off the end without pressing anything else, you automatically jump it. Give it another go it's great. Keep up the good work !
Great episode guys. One of my favs. And just like that Amazon sells out of every last copy of the Monkey King. I'd be interested in an episode where you guys cover games on modern consoles that are done in the style of 8-bit/ 16-bit games. So basically any game with shooters like Monkey King or platformers that would play similarly on the snes or genesis.
Maybe it's because I didn't play it for years after its initial release but am I the only one who thinks the Mario All Stars Pack is actually a really ugly looking remake?
Zachary Hastings I wouldn't say "ugly," but not ideal, in my opinion. Also, the controls for the original 3 games feel a little too floaty and slippery compared to the originals, or is that just me?
Zachary Hastings Don't think you could call it ugly, maybe you could call it off the mark a bit. But SMB2 (on All Stars) looks and sounds better in every way.
Yes, it sounds like more of an enhanced version as someone else pointed out. To be a remake, the game would have to be remade from the ground up with new assets.
Yes, but again it's based on the PS code. It doesn't have mesh graphics or broken new levels like the Saturn version. So maybe it's the Champion Edition of the PS1 version. :)
I noticed when you were looking at Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, how do you guys record footage off a PSP? It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...
Indeed they where and I really liked how they looked at 2560x1440 with antialiasing. Also, Castle of Illusion had full 5.1 surround sound support which I liked.
DUMPSTERF1LM If that's the case you owe it to yourself to play Rondo of Blood for the TG-16/PC-Engine. Dracula X unfortunately was heavily censored, but still a fun game.
Yes! You speak the truth my man. Even though I get enjoyment out of a digital copy of a game I feel like I'm still missing out on something and that something is the thing I can't put on my shelf and admire.
Yeah, I wanted to download TMNT IV: Re-Shelled awhile back on my 360. Needless to say, I was *not* happy to find out it was no longer available. People say it wasn't very good, but I still wanted to try it out.
the controls are different for sure, and there are some options on the 2nd touch screen if I remember correct, more like a port with some added touches here and there.
What's the point of saying where the music came from if they don't give us the music's name, I'm trying to find that last music that plays on the credits but I can't find it.
A lot of the times I don't have the actual names of the tracks and if they're arranged the names of the discs they come from. A little Google-fu might net you the track you're looking for, though. But you're right, I'll stop listing the music.
The castle of illusion remake is amazing EXCEPT for one fatal flaw. Unskippable cutscenes. I died on the final boss a bunch of times and I quit trying because I had to watch the cutscene every damn time. Grrrr
One of my favorite remakes is "Broken Sword" for tablet computers. It's the old Playstation game with improved graphics and new content where you control Nico. If you loved the original you'll definitely love the new version.
We speak our minds! We will never sugar-coat or change our opinions about ANYTHING just to gain the approval of the masses. We would truly be a shitty channel if we did that. We can't please everyone and we sure as hell won't try. So a message to all: If you want "safe" opinions and reviews about games that are popular, Game Sack may not be for you. But if you can handle different opinions than your own without freaking out, then we're glad to have you aboard!
Re: Flashback...THAT jump!! That particular jump drove me insane back in the day!! From what I heard, that was so called "protection jump". You had to jump and then push up (jump) once again in mid air to jump higher. In those days...without internet...it was so hard to figure out!!!
I stopped very early buying games that aren't playable off the harddisc with no online requirement for the very reason that you never know when it's taken down making your purchase null and void. I'm definitely getting the physical copy of Duck Tales. Thanks for another great episode, guys.
If you're talking about games that have some sort of online requirement for single player, I see your point, because if the servers are taken down or whatever, then your disc would then be useless. But if you mean something like Ducktales or Reshelled... then I do not see. Had you purchased Reshelled, for example, you would still now have access to it, where the rest of us plebes would not.
forgot to mention that the SOTN version coming on dracula X chronicle is an updated version correcting the nonsensical dialog and making maria as a playable character but not like she was in the saturn version.
17:34 I bought a game on Big Fish games once, I think it was called Astro Avenger 2. The whole game was kind of like this superweapon part. I could just sit a book on the fire button and go away, then come back when each level completed. I don't really understand the point of designing a game like that.
Hey guys that reshelled TMNT turtles in time can be had as a pc download. You can burn it to a disc and still play it as a demo.l on 360. Prepaid cards for it supposedly exist and can be redeemed still.
One thing I would point out. Look at the sprite for megaman in Wiley wars when you shoot his buster. The bullet looks like its coming from behind his arm cannon insisted from him cannon lol!
FYI, Re: XBL Turtles in Time remake- You are correct in that the game was delisted from Xbox Live/PSN. However, on Xbox Live (don't know about PSN) you can ALWAYS download games you own, even if they have been delisted. I guess it wasn't totally clear in the video if you already owned it or not, but I got the impression you did already own it if you were going to review it. If a game has been delisted, you have to download it by finding it in your download history under account settings. Perhaps you can download it now and feature it in another remake video? If there is one. I think that Turtles in Time remake is worth covering, even though it was a steaming pile...
i have to admit i had low spectations due to the flood of indie ordinary remakes we live. But this episode cover all. The flashback one even made me considering buy it.
great ep guys. As someone who only does retro gaming, would never have guessed Cloud Master got a remake. Also forgot just how awesome Metroid Zero is, going to have to revisit that. I actually had The Sega Channel but only for the "free" trial month and one more month when it was on the bill. Also played megaman-ish Pulseman that way. If you liked Megaman and had Sega Channel you were set.
Controls in flash back were much better on the Amiga, I use to criticize the controls on most of the games on that machine because one button for everyting is what I consider to be a big fail, but in the case of games like Another World or Flashback, it is an advantage (in Flashback on the Amiga you press the spacebar key to use the gun).
How long ago was that? I've seen Fugazi and Minor Threat in concert. I like Ian MacKaye the lead singer of both bands. Have you heard Pailhead? One of his other bands?
@ 11:12 - WHERE did you get that version of bubble man's music from Mega Man 2? one of my favorite songs in games, and that version sounds completely awesome. Please help me find it!
You guys are awesome, Great video! I thought you'll show Sega Space Harrier and their remake. An amazing game for any version if it's the Sega Master System, Genesis, Arcade (of course) and the remakes! I'm still humming the amazing music :)
Huh? I've always pressed C to butt bounce in Castle of Illusion. I rarely ever press down. You might be referring to when we talked about Fantasia which ONLY lets to press down and not C.
The original Monkey Island games and their "Special Edition" remakes were outstanding. They got the original voice cast from the '96 Curse of Monkey Island to fully voice act the silent classics along with faithful, all hand drawn graphics of the entire games.

Fantastic episode! So glad Metroid Zero mission was there!
Another one if you guys ever get the chance to check out is Wild Arms Altered Code f. it's a remake of the original on PS1. Not only a great remake but actually better than the original
When my sister dies I'm going to steal her from the hospital and nobody will ever notice!
That comparison shot at 5:23.
Encapsulates my childhood so much. So many feelz. I love you Gamesack
This was probably one of the best episodes you've done so far. Really good jobs guys! Can't wait for episode 100!!!
I really love your show guys, one of my favorites on youtube!
and glad to see Castle of Illusion made the list.
The ending was hilarious as always. I liked when Dave was swiping all Joes super rare games because they were frustrating.
The code and the graphics are from the PS1 version. A few things were changed around, sure, but the assets are all from the PS1. But really, that's not a game we were covering in this episode. We just mentioned it's there. The XBLA download version had horribly compressed sound to fit the 80MB or so limit they had at the time. This version doesn't.
I know this is an old episode and I'm late to this but the Symphony of the Night port in Dracula X Chronicles is actually a semi-updated version that added back in the Maria boss fight from the Saturn version and improved voice acting
+Tristen Roccaforte Dracula X Chronicles is a PSP Remake masterpiece. That Maria Artwork is a classic!
i wouldn't call it "improved" but yeah, that guy got a lot of things wrong
Maria is back, but it's different from the Saturn version.
I just got in a car wreck today and I was feeling really down. As soon as I saw that you guys had a new episode, I was so pleased. This is exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Thanks guys.
You guys are doing a great job. Watching your show brings back a lot of memories.
Resident Evil Remake for the Gamecube is the remake of all remakes. If you haven't then you should play it.
totally agreed, it transforms the entire experience
Resident Evil Remake, arguably the best video game remake I have ever had the chance to play :D
Flashback original was MUCH better than the remake. All the charme is gone - and belive it or not, controls where good, managed to play it through on snes and mega drive... Sorry, you missed something here, for its time this one was epic.
Do you think he just never made it onto that ledge?
I've heard the same on multiple reviews that the remake is bad which is why I never bothered with it.
The best Flashback experience you can have is to play it on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo version might have slightly better graphics or sound "as it does with most games". However, the Super Nintendo version suffers from slow down during cutscenes. Flashback on the Genesis is one of my personal favorites on the system.

Thank you!
It is always a great pleasure to see your videos. Without a doubt the best retrogaming channel on RUclips!
Ididn't knew that The monkey King on the Wii was a remake. And you are the first person I heard that liked Flashback on the XBOX.
FF1 & 2 on the GBA were great remakes, and Metroid Zero Mission was one of the best remakes ever along with Resident Evil Remake.
Thanks for another great episode Joe & Dave. Gamesack never fails to cheer me up.
Super Mario All-Stars, what a great collection, loved all the games but super mario bros 3 was by far my favorite.
One reason I love your channel is because, unlike most video game RUclipsrs, Joe is not a full blown sissy.
A bit late but, if you guys make another Remake themed episode, I would suggest covering the Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid remakes for the Gamecube. Both excellent remakes and in many ways superior to the originals.
+Manny Akintunde never got to play the MGS remake but the Resident Evil remake was fantastic.
Armageddon3035 Yep! That game was fantastic.
+Manny Akintunde the Metal Gear Solid remake on the Game Cube plays very well and it feels more modern than the old version, but the cutscenes have been made super silly, and they didn't redesign the boss fights around you being able to aim in first person, so it's kind of a toss up if you want graphics where characters actually have faces and eyes, or if you want the more low-key experience that is properly designed.
MGS remake is the Matrix, and REmake is basically RE1 without the terrible voice acting.
Giordan Diodato LOL Twin Snakes does have some Matrix like moments.
I love your channel guys. You guys remind me of how my buddy and I are, and reliving these games is awesome.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed was an amazing remake. You guys should've included it in your video. In another note, the Flashback remake reminds me a lot of Shadow Complex. Is it from the same developer?
Rondo of Blood is my favorite Castlevania game, and although the remake was a tad underwhelming, I'm glad they rereleased the original. It deserves a lot of attention, and packing it with Symphony is an ingenious move.
Sega CEO : Ey guys do you put the butt stomp on the remake?
Sega Australia: huh nope
Sega CEO : well we are not to gonna put more money on this studio then
Yes that was kind of his joke :)
Good to hear it again though
Another great episode guys, seems like they are always getting better! I can't wait to see you two come back to this topic one day.
You CAN crouch in the later Mega Man games... it is called the slide. :)
Well that's not a crouch asshat
The "hyper-cute" super-d Mega Man appeals to me, and i'm not a pre-teen girl. Kawaii is massive in Japan; there's no stigma about finding cute illustrations appealing. It's human nature.

I agree with people who said if you ever do a part 2 to include GC Resident Evil and Twin Snakes.
Also the FFIII remake and Double Dragon Neon are both good.
You missed also Prince of Persia
I love you guys sooooo much. Everytime you release a new episode the world becomes just a little bit better. No, a lot. I am waiting for your 100th episode so all wars will end and most of the pollution will disappear. Thank you. Joe and Dave. Gods walking the earth.
Got the Monkey King for 1.50 on Gamestop. Best deal ever :P
I wouldn't say that. Check out Luigi on the TV behind us in the opening camera segment. The first Luigi is from the original SMB game. The second one is from All Stars. Everything has been completely redrawn.
"Nintendo loves its fans" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is perhaps one of the best analogies I've yet heard!
Ye missed Bionic Commando Rearmed !!!
I wish you covered the Super Mario Advanced series on the GBA. But I love what you did Gamesack. This was a good video for sure.
8:58 Sing some of the lyrics?! I know 'em all!
Morphine makes the holy known (Uncle Lina)
Eyeing up down that sappy nun (Uncle Lina)
I'm going to stroke it
Your arms are broken
UNCUT - OH OH
I'll stop now.
Yeah caught that during editing but I didn't want to ask Dave to drive down a half an hour just to record that part. Oh well, we remade the subtitle!
Do super mario 64 ds
Nothing makes me more happy than sitting down with some snacks and finding out that a new Game Sack episode is out!
Also good on you guys for changing your name from MrGameSack to just Game Sack! It was a bit off! lols
Physical media FTW
After seeing videos of the Dracula X remake, I knew I would be avoiding this game. Then I found out about the translated original game and SOTN included, and I was sold.
Metroid Zero Mission was awesome, I agree there.
For the next Remakes, there are all those versions of early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games out there.

Since you guys are obviously very into retro gaming, and collecting, I think it'd be awesome if you did an episode on how someone new to the hobby could get started.

What are common pitfalls? Where do you recommend a new collector start?
Castlevania dracula x chronicles kicked ass. freakin purists man, everything new's gotta suck right?
Personally, just from looks, the game is pretty ugly. I have to give them that. But it looks fun.
The new "final form" boss fight for Dracula is worth it alone. I like both versions, but I always thought that for such a tough game Dracula was pretty easy in Rondo of Blood.
I bought the Ducktales remake for my Wii U the other day, already beat it twice and am going to do it a few more times yet. So well done.
Thumbs up if you own both versions of "Super Mario All-Stars" on the SNES and Wii! ;D
I was totally creepin on your page. Im a huge fan of the show and needed to know more about you guys. 41 is not so bad at least you got to live through all of the gaming generations. Im 29, so while I remember NES/Master system, the genesis/SNES was right in my wheel house.

Indeed. I REALLY hated the way the new one controlled plus never had i have a game crash on me on my Xbox BEFORE Flashback :l
Ummmm, Black Mesa is fan made and incomplete as of now. They'll add more content soon.
Game Sack Just had too tell you too make that jump on the second level of Flashback just run off the end without pressing anything else, you automatically jump it. Give it another go it's great. Keep up the good work !
They don't do PC games. They only do various consoles.
Great episode guys. One of my favs. And just like that Amazon sells out of every last copy of the Monkey King.

I think that to.
could they have at least added an original graphics mode?
I actually like it but for the rerelease they should have changed the graphics again and perhaps given a choice of 3 different graphics modes.

Blind fan boys drink nostalgia.
Zachary Hastings I wouldn't say "ugly," but not ideal, in my opinion. Also, the controls for the original 3 games feel a little too floaty and slippery compared to the originals, or is that just me?

another great episode guys!! can't wait for the next one.
Flashback was fucking awful.
Awesome. Sauce.
UndeadAirwaves I loved the original, that and another world were 2 of my favourite games
this show is amazing.
always wait for the new episodes to look!!!
song at the end is "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Soundtrack: Princess Amagi (Yukiko Amagi)"
Yes, it sounds like more of an enhanced version as someone else pointed out. To be a remake, the game would have to be remade from the ground up with new assets.
Yes, but again it's based on the PS code. It doesn't have mesh graphics or broken new levels like the Saturn version. So maybe it's the Champion Edition of the PS1 version. :)
I noticed when you were looking at Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, how do you guys record footage off a PSP? It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...
PSP has component video output
Castle of Illusion and Duck Tales remakes are also available on PC.
Indeed they where and I really liked how they looked at 2560x1440 with antialiasing. Also, Castle of Illusion had full 5.1 surround sound support which I liked.
On Steam?
Cloud Master was one of my favorite games when I was growing up.
Great video as always. You also always find great topics for your videos, I hope you do another one on remakes.
Dracula X Was such a good game, I can't believe it took me til 2008 to play it... My favorite Castlevania by far
DUMPSTERF1LM If that's the case you owe it to yourself to play Rondo of Blood for the TG-16/PC-Engine. Dracula X unfortunately was heavily censored, but still a fun game.
Ahhh Fugazi. I loved them back in the day. And Minor Threat before that and the other band Ian was singing for, forgot the name.
Best show on the RUclipss, keep em coming.
Yes! You speak the truth my man. Even though I get enjoyment out of a digital copy of a game I feel like I'm still missing out on something and that something is the thing I can't put on my shelf and admire.
don't worry, you guys are still the best. absolutely fantastic.
Awesome, welcome and I hope you enjoy the rest of out vids. :)
Yeah, I wanted to download TMNT IV: Re-Shelled awhile back on my 360. Needless to say, I was *not* happy to find out it was no longer available. People say it wasn't very good, but I still wanted to try it out.
the controls are different for sure, and there are some options on the 2nd touch screen if I remember correct, more like a port with some added touches here and there.
GameSack, does the Wii remake of Chukka Taisen allow other controllers besides the Wiimote? Does it support the GameCube or Wii Classic Controller?
What's the point of saying where the music came from if they don't give us the music's name, I'm trying to find that last music that plays on the credits but I can't find it.
A lot of the times I don't have the actual names of the tracks and if they're arranged the names of the discs they come from. A little Google-fu might net you the track you're looking for, though. But you're right, I'll stop listing the music.
I wasn't trying to be mean, it's just a little frustrating when I hear an awesome song but can't find it anywhere :/
The castle of illusion remake is amazing EXCEPT for one fatal flaw. Unskippable cutscenes. I died on the final boss a bunch of times and I quit trying because I had to watch the cutscene every damn time. Grrrr
To me those are all separate entries into their respective series, not remakes or the originals.
One of my favorite remakes is "Broken Sword" for tablet computers. It's the old Playstation game with improved graphics and new content where you control Nico. If you loved the original you'll definitely love the new version.
Good remakes you could consider for a part 2: Bubble Bobble on NDS and Space Invaders also on DS
I love the long videos, guys. Perfect background noise but very distracting! Lol
We speak our minds! We will never sugar-coat or change our opinions about ANYTHING just to gain the approval of the masses. We would truly be a shitty channel if we did that. We can't please everyone and we sure as hell won't try. So a message to all: If you want "safe" opinions and reviews about games that are popular, Game Sack may not be for you. But if you can handle different opinions than your own without freaking out, then we're glad to have you aboard!
Re: Flashback...THAT jump!! That particular jump drove me insane back in the day!! From what I heard, that was so called "protection jump". You had to jump and then push up (jump) once again in mid air to jump higher. In those days...without internet...it was so hard to figure out!!!
I stopped very early buying games that aren't playable off the harddisc with no online requirement for the very reason that you never know when it's taken down making your purchase null and void.
I'm definitely getting the physical copy of Duck Tales.
Thanks for another great episode, guys.
If you're talking about games that have some sort of online requirement for single player, I see your point, because if the servers are taken down or whatever, then your disc would then be useless. But if you mean something like Ducktales or Reshelled... then I do not see.
Had you purchased Reshelled, for example, you would still now have access to it, where the rest of us plebes would not.
forgot to mention that the SOTN version coming on dracula X chronicle is an updated version correcting the nonsensical dialog and making maria as a playable character but not like she was in the saturn version.
17:34 I bought a game on Big Fish games once, I think it was called Astro Avenger 2. The whole game was kind of like this superweapon part. I could just sit a book on the fire button and go away, then come back when each level completed. I don't really understand the point of designing a game like that.
Hey guys that reshelled TMNT turtles in time can be had as a pc download. You can burn it to a disc and still play it as a demo.l on 360. Prepaid cards for it supposedly exist and can be redeemed still.
Those graphics in the Flashback remake might be the best 2.5D graphics I've ever seen
One thing I would point out. Look at the sprite for megaman in Wiley wars when you shoot his buster. The bullet looks like its coming from behind his arm cannon insisted from him cannon lol!
FYI, Re: XBL Turtles in Time remake- You are correct in that the game was delisted from Xbox Live/PSN. However, on Xbox Live (don't know about PSN) you can ALWAYS download games you own, even if they have been delisted. I guess it wasn't totally clear in the video if you already owned it or not, but I got the impression you did already own it if you were going to review it. If a game has been delisted, you have to download it by finding it in your download history under account settings. Perhaps you can download it now and feature it in another remake video? If there is one. I think that Turtles in Time remake is worth covering, even though it was a steaming pile...
i have to admit i had low spectations due to the flood of indie ordinary remakes we live.
But this episode cover all. The flashback one even made me considering buy it.
guys, I loved the cloud master vid, i never knew there was a wii version,now I will get one just to play it,thanks
great ep guys. As someone who only does retro gaming, would never have guessed Cloud Master got a remake. Also forgot just how awesome Metroid Zero is, going to have to revisit that. I actually had The Sega Channel but only for the "free" trial month and one more month when it was on the bill. Also played megaman-ish Pulseman that way. If you liked Megaman and had Sega Channel you were set.
Controls in flash back were much better on the Amiga, I use to criticize the controls on most of the games on that machine because one button for everyting is what I consider to be a big fail, but in the case of games like Another World or Flashback, it is an advantage (in Flashback on the Amiga you press the spacebar key to use the gun).
How long ago was that? I've seen Fugazi and Minor Threat in concert. I like Ian MacKaye the lead singer of both bands. Have you heard Pailhead? One of his other bands?
absolutely love your show!
@ 11:12 - WHERE did you get that version of bubble man's music from Mega Man 2? one of my favorite songs in games, and that version sounds completely awesome. Please help me find it!
You guys are awesome, Great video!
I thought you'll show Sega Space Harrier and their remake.
An amazing game for any version if it's the Sega Master System, Genesis, Arcade (of course) and the remakes! I'm still humming the amazing music :)
