    I will never forget the weeks prior to the launch of GWIMBLY 1. The whole company was on edge, devs crunching day and night. Tony got married in his cubicle so he could continue fixing the stage 3 bugs during the festivities. He was one hell of a coder.

      Yeah, but the emulators nowadays are kind of shit for it. It’s just not made for modern systems and doesn’t always adapt well. Which sucks because it’s such a good game.

    This is a suprising well researched video, i hope this blows up!
    I think one you forgot to mention was that the Gwimbly gun was actually an idea requested by fans. They kept sending fanart to IGBG of Mr.Millipede with guns, at a time where gaming companies were quite out of touch with their fanbases.
    I would love to see you cover Catastrophe Crow, or maybe a deeper dive into why the Medal of Honor franchise didnt go beyond Xbox360

    The cutscenes of that game were so cheesy, people made lots of YTPs of it, and I loved these videos!
    They were what introduced to the Gwimbly franchise.

    you should add some imperfections to the posters in the background so they look more like posters. Like rips and a curled up corner or something. It'd look cooler and it'd be a little less confusing since they kind of look like they're being presented in the same way as the assets you're talking about

  • @TurtleShroom3

    As a child, my father's parents owned a Playstation I. and I played it when I went up there, throughout the early 2000's AD We had a few titles, but the ones I remember the most were "Crash Bandicoot", "Gwimbly I", and "Gwimbly III". We had the sequels of the same but they don't really bring back memories like those two. I actually beat "Gwimbly I" and "Gwimbly III" but was never able to defeat "Crash Bandicoot I" or "Gwimbley II".
    The last one I played was "Gwimbly III" and, honestly, I thought the addition of the gun was a cool thing. "Crash Bandicoot", "Banjo-Kazooie", and the like didn't have a gun, and the incongruency between a platforming game and shooting like a third-person shooter was something never successfully imitated outside of the "Gwimbly" franchise. Sure, other games tried it, but it was just a gimmick or a single level. (I mean, the ice-skating level in "Pacman World II" was awesome, but it didn't need the gun!)

    Gwimbly totally revolutionized the 3d platformer genre, i still remember people talking about the graphics, responsive gameplay and incredible level design of the og trilogy, it really felt like a next gen experience. Tbh i wish IGBG would remake or just port gwimbly to modern platforms, everyone should play this masterpiece at least once in their lives. Too bad they just want to focus on live service games...

    Gwimbly Smash Bros is a cool game but the O.J. Simpson character is WAY TOO OP. Once he starts charging you and takes out his signature knife-slashing technique, it's over. They need to nerf him down a notch. Maybe give him PTSD or something, idk.

    Alr guys, ik this is an unpopular opinion, and i know gwimbly fans can get quite feral when a game they like is criticized, but i just have to say that paper gwimbly 2: creamed carnage was arguably the weakest game in the entire gwimbly franchise. Yeah the mister millipede motorbike was a fun gimmick, and the creamed cornator was an excellent idea, but the story itself just felt a bit convoluted.. plus i absolutely despised the level where you had to find the golden corn kernel amongst the stacks of creamed corn cans. It just felt way too tedious and difficult for a game that was largely aimed at tadpoles... 🙁
