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.
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!
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.
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.
Same here, and I actually got misty-eyed hearing the original voices of the characters from the cartoon series in the game such as Alan Young and June Foray (both of whom had passed away in 2016 and 2017 respectively, BTW).
@@sonicmario64 Hey, I maybe 6 months late to tell you this but, DuckTales Remastered is not available on Steam anymore as the licensing agreement between Capcom/Wayforward & Disney has expired.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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? :)
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
in Dracula X Chronicles, you can unlock both the original Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night by collecting 2 hidden items... so that game is actually the best version of the game. The SOTN version included also lets you play as richter and Maria right off the bat without having to complete the game first. Unfortunately it doesn't have the extra areas from the saturn version.
They also made it slightly "easier" by letting Alucard "float" a bit more in his jump. I noticed this with the first jump near the top of the room at the beginning of the game. Since you don't have double jump yet...I always fell down the gap on the first try. I actually jumped over it a few times to make sure I wasn't imagining it...but they added the "float" in one of the versions.
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.
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
I tried to sing along with the Ducktales theme but it wasn't the part I thought it would be and all of my friends laughed at me and now hate me as a result of my poor attempt to sing the Ducktales song. Thanks A LOT Game Sack.
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!!!
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
That's why steam is one of the best digital distribution platforms with gog, you never lose what you have bought, even if gets pulled out of the store. And you can create an offline installor of the game to save on a hard drive.
Zero Mission was my first Metroid game. I love the game. I also like the way that once you beat it you get the original. I prefer the gba game though because there is new areas.
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. :)
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.
Kinda late to post this, but I had originally passed on the Flashback remake because I had heard negative feedback from some news outlets. I was kind of disappointed, as I really loved the game on the Genesis (that's over the SNES version). Well, after seeing it featured in your episode, it looks better than I thought, so I think I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks Dave and Joe!
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).
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.

Thumbs up if you own both versions of "Super Mario All-Stars" on the SNES and Wii! ;D
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?
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.

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...
"Floating with the Screwattack"
That's the Space Jump.
It's ScrewAttack!
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.
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.
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.
Good remakes you could consider for a part 2: Bubble Bobble on NDS and Space Invaders also on DS
FUGAZI!! You rule for that, Dave!
song at the end is "Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Soundtrack: Princess Amagi (Yukiko Amagi)"
That's why steam is one of the best digital distribution platforms with gog, you never lose what you have bought, even if gets pulled out of the store. And you can create an offline installor of the game to save on a hard drive.
Zero Mission was my first Metroid game. I love the game. I also like the way that once you beat it you get the original. I prefer the gba game though because there is new areas.
Definitely the first Resident Evil and the REMake. I love both of them.

Do you ever feel the irresistible urge to strangle someone?
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. :)
Thanks for your response Dave, it is much aprreciated.
Keep it up bro!
Greetings from Greece.
don't worry, you guys are still the best. absolutely fantastic.
Saw sooooo many neat piercings at a Fugazi show in Victoria BC. Muffin topped punk girls were everywhere, it was heaven
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.
Kinda late to post this, but I had originally passed on the Flashback remake because I had heard negative feedback from some news outlets. I was kind of disappointed, as I really loved the game on the Genesis (that's over the SNES version).
Well, after seeing it featured in your episode, it looks better than I thought, so I think I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks Dave and Joe!
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).
