The Sega Classics PS2 collection annoyingly had Alien Syndrome removed from the PAL Version so it could achieve a lower age rating.
Nice, it's been a while but your videos are always worth waiting for!
Sr. Edu tem bom gosto em canal gringo, hein 👀
Whilst I've enjoyed the epic Analogue Frontiers and Mister videos, I also like these old-style MLiG videos where you guys just talk about some games you're interested in, or that have some meaning to you. Even when some of them aren't very good! (I know things get much better with Sega Ages once M2 get on board)
Wasn't expecting "future Balan Wonderworld director Yuji Naka", that cracked me up. 😆
No matter what the content or topic is, I always watch. You guys are amazing and capture the nostalgia and warmth that no other RUclips channels capture.
Hokuto no Ken ost is a masterpiece.
Been waiting for this series to continue! Hopefully the Rare after Nintendo series will be continued someday too!
[Try4ce] I'm daunted by the Viva Pinata games, but I'm determined to do it someday!
@@mylifeingaming You don't have if you dont want to, we'll understand.
Great video! Can't believe it's already been three years since the last one
I just started a Super Famicom collection but I can tell your retro collection must be insane 😄😄😄
These days is expensive to collect
I’ve been waiting 3 years for this
nice video, always loved the game black belt, did not realize they brought it back to life
growing ever closer to finishing this series❤ can't wait for next episode!!
3:17 "Programmed by future Balan Wonderword director Yuji Naka." 15 yards for unnecessary roughness, you did NOT have to do him like that
[Try4ce] Coury actually does not hate Balan Wonderworld, so it's not that mean.
@@mylifeingaming ah ok, that's fair
Ask Yuji Naka's former co-workers what they think of him. Apparently, he's a bad case of "never meet your heroes", and it's no wonder Sega of Japan and Sega of America both had problems with him during the Genesis era.
He'd later go on to screw over both the X-Treme team and a Dreamcast developer.
If only Yuji didn't "do" his past associates "like that".
@@juststatedtheobvious9633 Don't forget that Balan's development was so tumultuous that it's driven a wedge between him and Naoto Oshima, and Naka hasn't been exactly gracious about it (that infamous Twitter photo comes to mind).
A new video! Christmas came early
I see Fist of the North Star in the thumbnail, I automatically hit the like button
I always loved sega early polygon games. They were always a highlight to play in the arcade like last Bronx or die hard. There style was so unique.
Woot. Another MLiG-video.
Very fun video! I have a bunch of these Sega Ages 2500 games and they are such a mixed bag. I'm really looking forward to your impression of the Phantasy Star 2 remake. I really enjoyed the Phantasy Star Generation 1 from this 2500 series.
New MLiG video gotta make a moment out of watching this ♥️♥️
Understandable, have a nice day.
"Future Balan Wonderworld director Yuji Naka"
Man, that shade lol
>”Programmed by, future Balan Wonderworld director, Yuji Naka”
oof.
It's not the violence. It's supreme technical violence. It's the delayed violence. He doesn't just punch their heads off. He hits pressure points and infuses them with his ki and then waits and seconds later they explode. There are loads of violent shows but few have poetic violence of Fist of the north star.
You come for the combat and stay for the drama.
I'm a simple man. I see mlig I get hyped
One of the best ways to play VF2 is at the arcades ... in Yakuza games :D
Love the intensity displayed on the last part 😅. “Of course I’m not ending this video with Decathlete you heathens”
Wouldn't be shocked if Decathlete Collection was timed to coincide with the 2004 Olympics
Had no idea there was a Decathlete collection. And had no idea it looked so much worse than the Saturn and Dreamcast.
Kenshiro: Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru
Last Battle: NANIIIIIIII
What would really be awesome would be the review of the Sega Astro city mini consoles , especially the Astro city mini V which has many arcade / Saturn shoot ‘em ups on it . I wonder what the resolution specs compared to the arcade original and Saturn
Weird coincidence, I was listening to an insert credit podcast episode that talked about the sega ages 2500 series just an hour ago and then this came up in my feed.. it's a sign
i believe, that saturn port of virtua fighter 2, is a port unbeatable. best version ever.
I thought you were saying “ The Kathy Lee collection” and I thought, that’s quite interesting.
Coury is BACK
Great as always!!! Good games, however, are relative to a Gamer's taste. Puzzle, Sports & Racing games get a bad rap, low coverage and sometimes a fair bit of hatred. Some simulation Sports & Racing titles are akin to RPGs in how you customize and then head into action, but that is almost never considered. Decathlete and Winter Heat are former STV-Titan arcade games and are in my opinion some of the best examples of Arcade-Style sports titles ported to the Saturn. In the case of Decathlete, I'm not sure if a Sports title tops it on the Saturn. Pickup, play, practice and master is the name of the game. The PS2 Sega Ages is a nice combination of 3 games, but Decathlete and Winter Heat more than stand on their own in my humble arcade loving opinion. Your channel is truly one of the best.
Amazing video as always! I have a question for Coury, did you use the Composite cable with the PS2? Out of curiosity I tried both Virtua Fighter and Decathlete on my CRT with the RGB SCART cable and the image quality is 10x better.
I have the complete collection of SEGA AGES.. but there are also SEGA Rally 95 and the original Virtual Fighter not on the 2500 collection for PlayStation 2 that I have, only sold in Japan!
lol it was a divine intervention that you connected two puyos lol,WOW
I feel like I recognize a few of those Puyo Puyo carts ;)
Can’t wait for the next video in the series! I’m getting into the Phantasy Star games, playing through PS1 Generations now, so I’m curious to hear opinions on PS Generations 2.
Just reminding me why you're one of the best gaming shows on this site.
More videos about PS2 games please!!
I missed this video on my feed for some reason
Nice shirt! I didn't know you were a pin player as well!
Thank you. Looking for the next games in the series!
this outrun can be patched to run in 16:9 mode.
Can’t say I really care personally for this series but I could listen to you guys talk about anything gaming related on this channel and I do! Your passion and knowledge is unparalleled and infectious.
I see Hokuto Shinken on the thumbnail, I click.
These were already too expensive :')
Glad to see them documented like this though
The 2000s were seriously underrated in how much companies respected their IPs, that when they made remake's they actually stayed faithful to the originals. Today the word remake brings up so many red flags and it's not surprising to find out that usually entails changing content to make it more watered down or even censored. Hokuto No Ken would struggle to be made today, censorship laws alone in japan has gotten extremely strict. This can even be seen in their 2000s OVAs and movies, where it almost seems in the last few released the violence was completely cut from them. Which is funny when right after I watched the original series and the later OVAs couldn't compare to violence of the original series that aired on TV.
Now there are instances where the Japanese versions of games are more censored than the US versions, which is opposite of how it used to be. The TV anime in Japan is usually censored, but you can buy the uncensored version on Blu-Ray.
Was anyone else confused when Coury mentioned The Kathie Lee Collection was up next?
The VF2 footage looks like limited range RGB being displayed as full range... Though i dunno if that's what happened here
Regarding language barriers, there are plenty of translation apps including Google and Bing that will overlay translations over any text in a chosen language. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing when trying to navigate or understand what's going on.
Can't wait to see the Phantasy Star games.
These types of apps don't do very well with Japanese. There's one called DeepL that works better than Google and Bing, but it's not perfect either.
I want a list of all the post release games made for retro consoles from NES to Sega dreamcast
19:11 meanwhile everyone playing crimsonland
In fact, Outrun is pretty good, almost as fun as the original
The Sega Ages 'remakes' on PS2 were mostly pretty awful, especially the Golden Axe one.
I got the VF2 one though, and like you say apart from the lower contrast it's very good - play thru S-Video if you can it seems to boost the contrast more?!? ✌️
I remember the Sega ages Golden Axe.......never played a game that was so bad that it made me fall asleep and my friend with me, playing co-op
P.S Coury, quick question if I may. What's the name of your bookshelves you use for your gaming collection, asking cause I have over 3k games and don't have a great solution for keeping them in order anymore. Thanks my dude
I had never played it, but when I first heard of the Sega Ages series, I thought Golden Axe would be fantastic. I was crushed when I heard how bad it was.
OMG, it didn't take five years to get the third SEGA AGES installment! ^_^
Looks like the 12:04 chapter marker for Out Run should be at 13:04.
Fixed! Thank you!
At first I heard "The Catholic Collection" XD XD
Make the key choice.
7:35 kenshiro looks like adam sandler.
Wasn't there a remake of Shinobi in this series?
Ur not alone...VF2 (and last Bronx) kicks everyone asses on PS2...the SS ports are way easier eheh :P
The reaon why the colors in Virtua Fighter 2 look dull and washed out is because apparently the developers decided to use the version for projection screens instead of the version for crt monitors.
Please don't ever change or update or anything to the theme song of this show, seriously, it's a *mood*. Too many RUclipsrs decide to update their theme after a few years, and like... please don't. 😅
I get emotional when I hear it
TV shows have been doing this for decades, too. I remember ALF and Quantum Leap did this. The updated version of the ALF theme was not bad, but the second version of the Quantum Leap theme sounded like a crappy MIDI version of the original.
@@KasumiKenshirou the jazzy Alf
25:21
Oh, that’s sus
HawktownOhken.
What happened to Try? Did he leave or something?
[Try4ce] I'm here! We've both just had a hard time juggling MLiG with freelance and other work this year, so there's been an unfortunate shortage of episodes from both of us. We stream every Sunday, so there you can see we're still both around! I'm also working on some episodes of my own!
@@mylifeingaming Good luck with your freelance and work. Thank you for your response. I am excited to see the stream.
Can't wait for your Phantasy STAR II AGES review. You have to see that new horrible character art. Why couldn't they bring Toru Yoshida to make the art for the remake?
Put some respect on DecAthlete!
Good old Sega, losing the source code to............... everything.
Great video! Though @23:06 Winter Heat was 1997 not 1987 ;) and it's very modest of you to say that you're "not only very good at VF2" heh
I always knew that 3D graphics are not superior to 2D just by virtue of being 3D which is how Sega treated the games at the time.
Golden Axe the original game is superior to the budget 2500 3D remake in every way.
Decathlete is fantastic but I only enjoyed the Sega Saturn versions
There is a bit of fluff on his head... 🙃
Im sorry! But imo phantasy star generation 1 and 2 remakes thru the Sega ages brand were amazing! Compared to the OG ones on sms/genesis. I mean the graphics, sound the added touches blew away the OG games!
Why didn’t they just name it Segages
Take a shot every time Coury mispronounces Japanese words.
5th comment
It's so funny when these RUclips dorks try there hardest to pronounce Japanese 😂
Hokuto one is bad, but having OG Mark game is great. OG cart is quite rare, but modern 2000s remake is garbage.
Can't wait for the next episode in 2035!
