never did i imagine there could be a youtuber who laser-focused in on my weird little niche of mysterious jogos and underappreciated digital atmosphere, but here you are, doing god's work
For the longest time, I thought I hallucinated Contact. I couldn't remember the name of the game and just thought maybe my brain had dreamed up some modern day RPG.
Mushishi is so good, I feel like it deserves way more critical and commercial acclaim and yet at the same time I’m glad it’s relatively unknown, I’ll have to check out the game someday.
Well, would you look at that, i was preparing my "WHERE IS THE NAMELESS GAME" mandatory text but here we are, that game is actually in a horror ds games compilation.
Too bad they don't follow the story of the PC games about a crazed man (or Woman) who has a questionable family who they force to live in the basement painting for cash. And killing their neighbors by locking them in rooms with fireworks and other fire dangers... Oh wait. That was my story.
That entire love plus segment would have been a shitshow if this was literally any other youtuber. I'm always surprised but mostly happy about how open minded and thoughtful you are about so many aspects of life, motivates me to become a better person. Fucking banger of a video man, Imma be a shitass hipster boy and say that I'm glad that I discovered your channel before the super eye patch wolf shoutout. Much love brother
@@Wykesidefruitmachine I follow a twitter account that posts when games have an anniversary and i had just gotten off twitter when i saw this video lmao
As someone that Emulated their way through highschool it's nice seeing a lot of these games mentioned. I've been through a LOT of the DS' library, and it's honestly a fun little collection of games to sift through that we never got over seas. Great video.
Yeah, bustin' out, Sims 2, both got great story on the GBA. Sims 2 Pets is fun too but the gameplay mechanic was kinda crappy and *that control tho* Yeah, what an unfortunate turn of event
Every time you hit us with the chart I get a very, VERY strong wish to see a Grasshopper video from you. At the very least a Contact video. That game is either wonderfully weird or weirdly wonderful, which I feel is soooooo on brand for you.
I purchased a soft modded dsi XL with twilight a month ago. So many unique games for DS its astonishing, especially knowing theres ones that are now playable, thanks to fan translations.
So glad I found your channel. I always like to turn my brain off to long essay videos on video games, and your voice and delivery is just so satisfying. Thanks for existing!
You should do one of these video for the original Xbox. There are some pretty rare and obscure Japanese Xbox titles. Braveknight, Tenerezza, Dennou Taisen, ExaSkeleton, Magatama or Natural Ultimate Digital Experiment.
your vids are the best my man. so thought provoking and nostalgic in the best way. immediately start talking to close friends about all those little things that makes these medias special to us
Definitely influenced by growing up with it, but DS is still my favourite console by a long shot. The sheer install base, combined with the more or less PS1 era hardware (making development affordable) led to an incredibly large amount of quirky, experimental games. It was kind of a unique moment in mainstream video games that I somewhat doubt we will see again.
indeed, with more hardware come the push for much less experimental games, also because people wont pay 5$ for any of these games presented here where as all these were at least 20 if not 40 back then.
For better or worse (usually worse ngl) the lax standards of the switch and it's handheld nature have made it a go-to choice for lots of indie stuff so, in a sense, the embers of those experimental days are still kindling. Nowadays with the 4K generation in full swing, i'd say the future of low barrier to entry console stuff is looking grim
Jump SuperStars was my first import and I adored it enough that I preordered Jump Ultimate Stars from some Japanese dude on eBay, hooked me up real good getting it pretty much release day. Probably spent a good 3 years playing on/off unlocking everything only to spend my 30s wondering how I managed to have the patience to figure out all the menus (and how to pair up dialogue to panels in the first game).
I literally clicked on this video from the sidebar recommendations of the Fatal Frame 3 video from Shitstorm 1. If anyone's ever looking for a single playlist of every Shitstorm season, I got you covered here. ruclips.net/p/PLET27xThWG67pjBpLS8ZdOBcI3bvFMpA_. I did take out all the videos that were part of separate full LPs, though.
In my baby days I went through 2 DS Lites and finally received the Mario 25th Anniversary red DSi XL for Christmas, after begging my parents for it from watching the commercials on TV (you know the one - with the kids hijacking the school play to ask their parents for it). I still remember, they made a scavenger hunt out of it, I had to go all around the house finding notes with little riddles until I finally found it in, of all places, the dryer. Well over a decade later, I still have that same system, and it's still chugging on strong, despite the original stylus being so worn that it just falls out if you pick the system up at an angle (though I NEVER LOST IT, FUCK YEAH. I did lose the big fountain pen stylus though, but c'mon, there was nowhere to put it), and the display hinge being worn to the point the screen will just wobble back and forth if you let it, it still works, and the original battery surprisingly holds a very good charge still. I've installed custom firmware that allows me to play most .NDS roms from the SD card without issue, and is still in active development to fix existing bugs. If you want though, you can boot into the original firmware on the system, and find all my relics of childhood days. Pictures of little idiot me in the DSi Camera app, flipnotes I saved off of Flipnote Hatena that truly serve as a time capsule, the Four Swords Adventures DSiWare release that was available for free for about a month, the Brain Age DSiWare games that I despised and never played, and some other dinky DSi shovelware from when I actually used Club Nintendo (RIP). In my opinion the DSi XL is still the absolute best way to experience DS games, running at original resolution on the surprisingly vibrant screen, tinny speakers, and gunky plastic overlay of the touch screen. I absolutely love this system.
My MacDonald’s employment experience was a different kind of nightmare. Everything you said was true but the coworker experience. It’s full of people who either had a shot at a future but got pulled off track somewhere, and people who taught me what “below average” really meant. I had to change the way I spoke to them in order for them (native English speakers) to understand me I don’t want to say that in an elitist way, I grew up in an upper middle class upbringing… it was my first experience with people who had basically no privilege and it changed how I look at the less fortunate
I forgot to comment about it on the day the video came out, but anyway: It's kinda interesting to me how the Tingle game and the Love-de-Lic legacy games in general have that Takeshi Kitano film vibe. A lot of humor, silly adventures galore, weirdos finding each other in the wild, but with overall central themes that are deep as deep can be. I've the impression that you're not a movie guy at all, at least not in the traditional OOH YAS I'M ZE CINEPHILE, but I highly recommend giving a chance to Kitano's work, specially Kikujiro and Sonatine. Keep on rockin', Mr. ThorSaltosAltos.
Love your channel bud but both Dementium games was released in North America on the ds and was actually my first video game reviews on its first release though it super cringy now so I might have to remake it.
I notice it in other videos on this channel too, but I really enjoy the way you put together your sentences in this video in particular. Like, sometimes I don't understand what's being said, but then it clicks just in time and I can't help but think, wow, I've never in my life heard that sort of thought articulated in that sort of way before. And I mean that in a good way; it's very clever writing, I dig it.
the sims 2 on the ds was my life!! as a kid i found the spooky strange town vibes so creepy along with the alien dissections you get to do later on, so fun and unexpected from the series as i knew it as a naive 8 year old. glad you covered it, more ppl should give it a try
I remember being obsessed with watching vids of the Bobobobo characters in Jump Smash when I was younger because I was like ohhhhhhh BOBOBO FIGHTER!!!!!
"Emulates flawlessly too" - My brain flash backing to time when I needed the thing to emulate well, just after selling my DS and gaining regret for it - realizing how ass it emulated in like 2010 or something. Dumb teenkid problems. Weird circle when you end up buying back your gamecube and DS, with it's flashcart, from people you sold them to originally.
I gotta tell u .man. its 7 am and im listening to my best friend snore, I can't sleep but I don't care. I'm just happy to be alive. Your videos have gotten me through some of the most fucked up absolutely depressing times in my life. I am thankful that u and ur videos exist. Thank you so much man really I have no words to describe how glad I am that I can't watch your videos
Being in like 8 when Pokemon HGSS released is DEFINITELY the greatest humanity timing. better then being a kid to watch the moon landing or anything else. ... ... ... Ya I peak when I was 8 but it was damn worth it
i’m really happy too to have grown up with the ds, one of my fave childhood memories is everyone bringing their ds and pokemon games on the last day of school and trading pokemon at our little fifth grade graduation party :,)
for most high school the DS was the only console I had and it keep being my main console well into college, so I played SO many of these obscure games, it really shaped a lot of my taste for weird, not super polished but charming games, having a never seemingly never ending source them that I would play on my trustful R4 flashcard great console, great games, great video
I’m actually a huge fan of Sonic Chronicles. I don’t like the bad reputation it has. I’m pretty sure people just haven’t given it a shot or heard that one central city song.
I played that Retro Game Center CX game aka Retro Game Challenge before I was even familiar with the show and Arino. The game was bassically offbrand Namco Museum/ Nintendo sampler, with games becoming more complex. This game lets you experience getting excited for new games and reading magazines for tips and cheats. The sequel got a fan translation.
I have been keeping my eyes on Sigma Harmonics for years, checking once in a while to see if someone made a fan translation yet. Though apparently, it's impossible to translate
Ultimate Butoden's a pretty rad, so it's cool that you covered it. But it's worth pointing out that the fan translation only really covers the main menu text (which can accidentally be swapped back to Japanese if you change the decals to any of the others you unlock), the pause menu, a few of the attack names and *some* of the menus. Stuff like the cutscenes, item descriptions, and plenty of the attacks go untranslated, making it harder to appreciate the game than its existence might suggest. Perhaps it would be difficult to redo the dialogue text and their timing, placement, etc. during cutscenes, but I do wish that the translators had the time to at least make the rest more understandable. Also, because I'm a massive pedantic, Ultimate Butoden is pretty much a sequel to Final Bout in name only. Final Bout was the last game in the Super Butoden series of fighting games, developed by famous Japanese ~shadow company~ Tose during the early-mid 90s along with pretty much every other Dragon Ball game up til then. Meanwhile, Ultimate Butoden was made by Game Republic - who made the Genji games, Folklore on the PS3, and the weird but kinda cool looking Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom. From what I've heard, Ultimate doesn't play much like the Super Butoden games, with the latter's focus on split-screen combat when you and your opponent are at different heights being totally gone. The same goes for the 3DS game Extreme Butouden, which was made by an entirely differently developer (Arc System Works) and plays more like a proto-FighterZ than anything from either the originals or Ultimate. So yeah, Butoden's pretty much just a name for these two games, but I guess it does get folks thinking 'bout or checking out the older ones, which is pretty great. :) (Sorry this is so long)
I am about to try Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep! I came here to see some good Japanese exclusive games. That Dragon Ball game caught my attention, it looks so crisp! Already have some games from this video. DS visuals remind me of PS1 but they are still different in their own way.
That "Dumb Thorb" scene convinced me that this guy must actually speak Spanish natively; those spanish insults sounded so crisp and without an accent that it must be that way puta madre by the way I subscribed, presentation is P E R F E C T O
Though it's not a Japan only release, I think you would get a lot out of Solatorobo on the DS. Ridiculously charming RPG action beat em up with the crustiest sound and sprites you'll ever seen and controls that had me fearing for my console's life.
Never stop making content dude you're 100% my favorite video game talker man on the internet. I love your music and I love your videos so keep up the good work 😊😊😊.
I have Photo Kano on my vita and seems like it clearly took a lot of inspiration from Love Plus. Although in Photo Kano, if you don't wanna go for just one girl, there is a pervert/harem route that's much more comedic.
Fuck I thought I knew the entire ds library but you always manage to show some cool games I didn't know about, hope you can manifest some fantranslations for some of them like with racing lagoon

Is there a reddit group for weird japan only games? Would be nice to have one.

You're killing it lately, Thor. Most underrated creator on this site.

Absolutely, I tune in his videos the second I have free time. I love it
The ds will always be in my heart as the console that helped me get trough high school
Ah, Touch Dic. Played it a lot back in my college years.
For the longest time, I thought I hallucinated Contact. I couldn't remember the name of the game and just thought maybe my brain had dreamed up some modern day RPG.
Well, to be fair tho... It looks and plays like a fever dream game
There's also a Japan-only Mushishi game on the DS that seems to be just pure vibes, I still waiting for someone to translate it.
Stop waiting and start doing, loll
ye that game caught my interest recentely, would be cool to see fan tran someday
Mushishi is so good, I feel like it deserves way more critical and commercial acclaim and yet at the same time I’m glad it’s relatively unknown, I’ll have to check out the game someday.
The DS will forever be the best combo of fun hardware and software Nintendo will ever have
Indeed, a dual suprise.
Well, would you look at that, i was preparing my "WHERE IS THE NAMELESS GAME" mandatory text but here we are, that game is actually in a horror ds games compilation.
Is strange how The Sims portable games are story driven
Too bad they don't follow the story of the PC games about a crazed man (or Woman) who has a questionable family who they force to live in the basement painting for cash. And killing their neighbors by locking them in rooms with fireworks and other fire dangers...
Oh wait. That was my story.
all of the non pc games before 3 are story focused or have a story mode. My fave is The Sims 2 on consoles
@@Randalftown really? Im don't remember the Sims Bustin Out (ps2 version) have a plot...
@@luizkorynga dunno about that specific version. But in the xbox version you fight a slumlord
Goddamn why did that clip, of the guy jumping backwards on the horse, make me laugh?
I saw vinny’s tingle playthrough after learning about the love de lic legacy. Pretty charming game.
Nintendo DS has a better library of games than its follow-up console you can't change my mind
I've been waiting my whole life for someone to acknowledge the existence of Sonic Chronicles. It's a good day
my favorite part of the video is where you casually pretend not to know what the wizard of oz is

Stuff like the cutscenes, item descriptions, and plenty of the attacks go untranslated, making it harder to appreciate the game than its existence might suggest. Perhaps it would be difficult to redo the dialogue text and their timing, placement, etc. during cutscenes, but I do wish that the translators had the time to at least make the rest more understandable.
Also, because I'm a massive pedantic, Ultimate Butoden is pretty much a sequel to Final Bout in name only. Final Bout was the last game in the Super Butoden series of fighting games, developed by famous Japanese ~shadow company~ Tose during the early-mid 90s along with pretty much every other Dragon Ball game up til then. Meanwhile, Ultimate Butoden was made by Game Republic - who made the Genji games, Folklore on the PS3, and the weird but kinda cool looking Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom.
From what I've heard, Ultimate doesn't play much like the Super Butoden games, with the latter's focus on split-screen combat when you and your opponent are at different heights being totally gone. The same goes for the 3DS game Extreme Butouden, which was made by an entirely differently developer (Arc System Works) and plays more like a proto-FighterZ than anything from either the originals or Ultimate. So yeah, Butoden's pretty much just a name for these two games, but I guess it does get folks thinking 'bout or checking out the older ones, which is pretty great. :)
(Sorry this is so long)
How in hell you still have barely 100k subs is beyond me, but you are doing an holy task here, so thanks for this
Just when I thought you couldn't get cooler you turn out to be a Rei Harakami fan
Thanks for the video, I’m going to buy the Contact DS cartridge now
literally started listening to rei harakami like a week ago b4 i watched dis vid and im totally in love (opa*q and the 2006 album especially)
respect
I am about to try Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep! I came here to see some good Japanese exclusive games. That Dragon Ball game caught my attention, it looks so crisp! Already have some games from this video. DS visuals remind me of PS1 but they are still different in their own way.
That "Dumb Thorb" scene convinced me that this guy must actually speak Spanish natively; those spanish insults sounded so crisp and without an accent that it must be that way puta madre
by the way I subscribed, presentation is P E R F E C T O
Though it's not a Japan only release, I think you would get a lot out of Solatorobo on the DS. Ridiculously charming RPG action beat em up with the crustiest sound and sprites you'll ever seen and controls that had me fearing for my console's life.
I never would have guess Tingle was based on Dorothy Gale, but it makes sense now.
I recently started collecting some unique ds games so this come fortunate!
8:34 i was sent into an uncontrollable laughing fit
Never stop making content dude you're 100% my favorite video game talker man on the internet. I love your music and I love your videos so keep up the good work 😊😊😊.
Praise Nick for getting the mcdoink ds game ripped online
"The Best Mario Kart" Thank you for being so overwhelmingly correct
videos that make you get an R4 card...
15:12 now that rei harakami reference was BASED
the DS was like a portable PlayStation 1 to me except no demo carts that has neat selections of demos to play like Jampack or Interactive CD
Thanks for the nut as usual, my man. I'll be sure to finish this later, couldn't make it past a minute, but hey, that's half the point.
This is one of the best video essays I've ever seen
I have Photo Kano on my vita and seems like it clearly took a lot of inspiration from Love Plus. Although in Photo Kano, if you don't wanna go for just one girl, there is a pervert/harem route that's much more comedic.
I loved this video as much as I loved DS and its catalogue. Thanks for all Thor, my man. 🌷
Fuck I thought I knew the entire ds library but you always manage to show some cool games I didn't know about, hope you can manifest some fantranslations for some of them like with racing lagoon
