Fun Fact: Bucky O Hare Arcade is actually the canonical ending to the cartoon. It never got a second season so the story was finished up in the game and Bucky's home world, Planet Warren, is finally liberated from the Toad Menace!
MadWorld is a game I’m begging to see get brought back. With how ambitious it is, it’s a massive shame Sega kinda abandoned it. I guarantee something as simple as a remaster of it would turn it into a flagship
Agreed. Following that train of thought, I would be over the moon to see Anarchy Reigns/Max Anarchy make a comeback. That game was hype as all get out.
@@Shadowcynder1830 Bring Back Max Anarchy Reigns as an F2P with a complete single player story mode and it might find an audience these days, especially for those who are aching for a F2P 3D arena fighter that has respectable gameplay.
@@orangeslash1667 That kind of thing is always frustrating to hear. Games like MadWorld will sell poorly for various reasons (in this case, being an M-rated Wii exclusive probably didn't help!), and then publishers will write it off as a failure that's not worth revisiting. But in reality, things aren't so simple: many games have the potential to perform better now, thanks to being unshackled from a specific platform, being available digitally (much longer "tail" on sales, less risk due to lower manufacturing/distribution costs), and sometimes developing a cult following.
@@orangeslash1667 Hah, that's a neat reference. Though I don't think it means much, as far as future plans go, considering that Bayonetta 2 is 10 years old now. PS: When I hear "Salamandra", I just think of The Witcher, especially since there are a few NPCs in the second game who repeatedly say "Hey, you're the one who crushed Salamandra!"
0:55 You didn't fail, you helped get those games get re-releases! Maybe that's being overly charitable, but I'd say that of all videos you could make that could become outdated, this is the one that I'd hope would the most.
These games tell me that piracy is always morally justified (I didn’t say legal, it’s a dark grey area) for abandonware that is never going to be rereleased again.
@@neetpride5919 The ethics of piracy depend on your own ethics and outlook on piracy. There are multiple angles when discussing the ethics of piracy, but morality is just a spectrum between good and bad, and piracy is objectively a good thing for people, even though it’s ethically contentious and legally dubious, just like drugs that are not either alcohol of tobacco.
First thing they teach you when you study law is legality does not equal morality, and is an ever evolving societal standard. Society has been wrong before and will be again so don’t worry.
Honestly, I find it unjustifiable that copyright lasts for a lifetime, so I have zero moral qualms with pirating 20-30 year old games that have been re-released on the Switch.
People are still playing Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast, online. Look up the Good Vibes Gaming video on it from 3 months ago. They did cross play with Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox, Wii, Wii U, and PC all at the same time. 😁 It's a fun video of memories. 😊
Yup, I do too. There's also Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst on PC via Ephinea, which is the most complete and up to date version of the game. I highly recommend it.
People where playing SMT imagine on the og Xbox and later imagine (pretty much the same game but other name), unfortunately sega did its thing and killed, had years of fun there
@goticogordo That wasn't IMAGINE on the Xbox, that was SMT NINE. It is true that SMT NINE was supposed to be an MMO, but all multiplayer functionality was cut and retooled into SMT IMAGINE, which only came out on PC and was a separate game.
The jump from Burnout 3 to Burnout Paradise is a perfect example of old vs. new game design. The first gives you tightly designed tracks where the developers have thought about every element of the experience. The second gives you a big open world with a shopping list of tasks and asks you to make your own fun. Don't get me wrong, I can see the appeal of the latter. But give me a video game ass video game any day.
In response to trying games out of your norm, thats how i became obsessed with the Yakuza series. I saw Zero on sale for $5 on steam and could not put it down for days. It was the best video game I've ever played

Transformers: War For Cybertron was easily one of the most underrated games that came out in the 6th generation The multiplayer had insane depth and was insanely fun. It just reminds me of those games like Lost Planet 2; ones that had an insanely satisfying multiplayer but never seemed to get the attention that they deserved I also think that the Call of Duty's of yesteryear have overshadowed titles like WFC for sure

I’ll never forget my first race in burnout 3. There I was, in the throes of puberty, at a friends house. Braces glistening. 3,2,1… my car rockets from the starting line as Finger 11’s Stay in Shadow blasts out of the game’s radio. Those two things will be forever linked in my brain.
My mom bought me Bucky on the NES and some of the toys just because it seemed like something I’d like. An absolute favorite of mine on the NES but I never actually saw the show.
To mention Need for Speed again, I personally think the 90s Need for Speed games deserve a re-release way more than the Underground games. Or more accurately, the soundtracks of the 90s Need for Speed games. The original Hot Pursuit and High Stakes had amazing original soundtracks, so it’s a crime that those soundtracks are not available on Spotify. I need Aquila 303 by Rom Di Prisco playing as I drive my digital Lamborghini Diablo SV in every modern Need for Speed game.
Dude you have GOT to try the PSP Ridge Racer games. The second one has the entire campaign from the first one with some new tracks, some new championships, new cars and new music - the only thing you're missing out on is a handful of exclusive cars that didn't make the cut between games. Ridge Racer on PSP might genuinely be my favorite game of all time. It's peak.
Gamecube had some of my favorite games, ones I’ve been missing or had living in my head rent free for years are the two Lost Kingdom games and Rockstar’s Smugglers Run.
Know what I miss from Nintendo? Battalion Wars, that thing is incredibly fun and I still hold on to my Wii so I can play the OG on GameCube and the sequel on the Wii itself.
@@spectrumbots4268 The studio (Headstrong Games) behind it is dead. Killed like 8 years ago shortly after Disney Art Academy because their parent company merged them with Curve Studios and laid off the rest.
so... idk if you gonna mention these or mentioned them in other video but anyway... : tekken 3-tag 2, fatal frame 1-3, god hand, prince of persia games... & and i can go on... like honestly some of these were enough to convince me to buy a ps2 (and soon a ps3) tbh...

OH MY HELL! I REMEMBER WATCHING MY BROTHER PLAY SPACE STATION AS A KID AND HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS FOR YEEEAAARRRSSSS NOW AND YOU JUST BROUGHT BACK MY CHILDHOOD, THANK YOU AUSTIN !!!!!
Why does the story about operation rainfall always seems to get wrongly told? The games already were announced to be localised for Europe and Nintendo of Europe even published and localised the games themselves. Operation rainfall was only for the American release.
Can't believe Space Station Silicon Valley got a shout, I loved this game as a kid and while it felt like a fever dream then it does even more now. Keep up the great work man, you're doing a great service in providing love to the lost and forgotten.
Okay I might be the only person who had all of Bucky O'Hare on VHS when I was a little kid, and of course I loved the video game. None of my friends ever knew what the hell I was talking about on the playground.
I cant even quantify the amount of hours I poured into PSO during college...my god, so many good memories. 20+ years later, my friends and I still ask each other to "open a telepipe" for shiggles
I Love "Pandora tower" is one of my favored games, the mix of story and gameplay is perfect. the bosses fights are great, and I love how they give lore in survival horror stray notes.
it honestly feels like Nintendo hates the gamecube and anybody that likes it sometimes, wind waker, twilight princess, sunshine, and thousand year door being the only games from that they've brought back to an hd system and almost all of those ports just not being available anymore sucks
Thank you for highlighting the High Moon Transformers Games! They NEED to come back. Its such a shame when a game is great regeardless of the property its tied too but will be lost because of the license to that property.
While Transformers has its roots in Japanese toys and was animated in Japan, it is very much an American creation made for American TV first and foremost by an American production company.
Despite videogames being a newer form of media than movies or TV shows, there's not as much desire to preserve them as their older brothers, and that's a shame because it should be even easier.
I am sure you either mentioned these in the last video or maybe even in this one, but we really need to bring custom robo and kid Icarus uprising the modern consoles: and by that, I mean either the switch or the switch 2🎮 Thank you for the video austin, and God Bless y'all🎮
Back on my PS3 12 yrs ago, War for Cybertron was one of my favorite games of all time, the world of Cybertron was so fantastic and as a child it blew me away, there was also the racing and vehicular battle stages which were some of the best levels imo
Why is Punch Out stuck on the Wii? Cause if you hit the Pacific Islander like character enough Pineapples start flying out of him. Nintendo is smart enough to realize those sort of stereotypes won't fly today.
I’d love to play Muramasa on something that isn’t a Wii or Vita. Better yet, I’d love to see a port+localization of Princess Crown. I know there was a fantranslation, but I don’t think it’ll ever be finished.
Fall of Cybertron is one of the most passionate passion project games ever. And Im not even into Transformers stuff. Such a well made campaign and the ending is pure badass.
What a coincidence! I was just eyeing the PSO Ephinea server just this week thinking about jumping in for the first time since I missed the boat on the Dreamcast when I was younger (was mainly a Nintendo kid) I'm more familiar with base PSO2 JP and NA when it came over here but I've always wanted to see what I missed out on with the original. The UI and chat sounds you always use in your videos don't go unnoticed whatsoever though - I see you!
"The Last Story".... da na na naa na na naa na na na .... ugh MY heart... that game needs a better home and upgraded visuals.... dear gods of Jrpgs PLEASE save this gem!
I can only imagine that the High Moon Transformers games got overlooked because they came after roughly half a decade of games based on the films. I don't remember hearing about them until after Devastation came out (and had been delisted), and had to resort to "illicit means" to play them.
I recently replayed an old favorite, Drakan on the PS2 (haven't replayed the original PC one in ages) and while I still love it, it could REALLY stand some modern gameplay. And it should, who doesn't want swordplay and dragon riding?
You have been talking up Treasure a lot in this video. So I would like to bring up a few of their other games that are stuck on old hardware. Silhouette Mirage, Gradius V, and Sin & Punishment: Star Successor are Treasure games that need to be re-released.
Never been this early. Keep up the good work! Been following your channel for many years now. Anyway, this topic surely brings up the importance of emulation which helps to prevent titles like the ones featured here to become inaccessible.
Bucky oHare was one of my fav cartoons as a kid, i still cant believe it was only 1 season cuz it sure feels like there was more. That might also be because it was like 30+ years ago now. I still have my Deadeye Duck action figure with the accessories. The game was awesome too!
Konami could probably release a 'Saturday morning cartoon arcade beat'em up collection' for 40-50 bucks with all their ports and I'd happily fund their pachinko habit for a walk down memory lane. I'd just hope they include the Aliens/AVP beat'em ups. a time when I had no money and could only lie that the changer ate my dollar at the pizza place so the lady would give me one and I could play a few rounds. man, I was a little snot.
Minor correction: Transformers is not solely a Japanese IP; rather, it was created by Japanese toy company Takara Tomy AND American toy company Hasbro, so its actually a joint creation, which I think is pretty cool.
I loved Mischief Makers so much when I rented it that I actually bought it when Blockbuster went out of business and still have it with me to this day.
When I was a kid I played mischief makers and the one thing that ALWAYS stuck with me was “ shake , shake “ and those shy guy faces on those ball alien thingys all over the levels
The Last Story and Pandora's Tower was sick af I liked the games a lot. I wish more people got to enjoy those ones. Also nice to see you are also Double Dash pilled lol great video
PSO my beloved. I'm with you on bringing it back in some form. I've played the private server version a few times over the years. I've gone back to play for a week or two before stopping. Rinse and repeat. It's such a "Vibe" game and my gaming memories of the time are some of my most cherished.
Cool video dude. I really liked the Need for Speed games on the PS2. That was a really cool time to play videogames. There was almost this weird cross-culture between music and videogames you don't see anymore. I remember I had this ATV game that was pretty cool, but half the reason was for the soundtrack. It had like Smashing Pumpkins and Alice and Chains on it. I really miss those days, but hopefully they're not gone, just in hibernation.

My mom bought me Bucky on the NES and some of the toys just because it seemed like something I’d like. An absolute favorite of mine on the NES but I never actually saw the show.
To mention Need for Speed again, I personally think the 90s Need for Speed games deserve a re-release way more than the Underground games. Or more accurately, the soundtracks of the 90s Need for Speed games. The original Hot Pursuit and High Stakes had amazing original soundtracks, so it’s a crime that those soundtracks are not available on Spotify. I need Aquila 303 by Rom Di Prisco playing as I drive my digital Lamborghini Diablo SV in every modern Need for Speed game.
Dude you have GOT to try the PSP Ridge Racer games. The second one has the entire campaign from the first one with some new tracks, some new championships, new cars and new music - the only thing you're missing out on is a handful of exclusive cars that didn't make the cut between games.
Ridge Racer on PSP might genuinely be my favorite game of all time. It's peak.
Gamecube had some of my favorite games, ones I’ve been missing or had living in my head rent free for years are the two Lost Kingdom games and Rockstar’s Smugglers Run.
Four words Sonic adventure two battle.
Know what I miss from Nintendo? Battalion Wars, that thing is incredibly fun and I still hold on to my Wii so I can play the OG on GameCube and the sequel on the Wii itself.
I recently played Battalion Wars for this channel (like a few years ago) and I was impressed. You'd think they would have kept going with that.
I would have loved see a new entry for the Switch!
@@spectrumbots4268 The studio (Headstrong Games) behind it is dead. Killed like 8 years ago shortly after Disney Art Academy because their parent company merged them with Curve Studios and laid off the rest.
so... idk if you gonna mention these or mentioned them in other video but anyway... :
tekken 3-tag 2, fatal frame 1-3, god hand, prince of persia games... & and i can go on... like honestly some of these were enough to convince me to buy a ps2 (and soon a ps3) tbh...
I would LOVE some of the ps2/gamecube era Pop's to make it forward. Those games rule.
@@austineruption same dude
Duuude Tekken 3 was the shit! I remember borrowing that game from a friend and spending hours and hours, trying to beat Ogre with each of the characters. I really miss those days...
@@Yungtacosss hell yeah it was like i remember discovering tekken force as a kid and i lost my shit.. although i was bad at it as a kid cause you know i was like 6 but regardless.. that shit was goated
Mischief Makers omg I need to play that again! Beat it once or twice back in the day. Rented it a buncha times. Highly underrated game.
Lost Planet 2's multiplayer (and co-op) was taken offline when GFWL shut down and Capcom is too busy with their *other* giant monster slaying series to care.
One day, Xenoblade X will come to Nintendo Switch.
I need a bigger gun!
Also, Xenoblade 4, since there are still unanswered questions.
announced today.
March 20th, 2025 just a few more months
No offense, but Sunset Riders DID get a rerelease. It's an Arcade Archives title.
I hope we get some Guitar Hero titles rereleased.
idk if that's an offense thing but HEY I guess I missed one! Good to know!
Dang, I had no idea. It doesn't seem to be available for my region on Switch, only PS4. Curse you, regional restrictions!
OH MY HELL! I REMEMBER WATCHING MY BROTHER PLAY SPACE STATION AS A KID AND HAVE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS FOR YEEEAAARRRSSSS NOW AND YOU JUST BROUGHT BACK MY CHILDHOOD, THANK YOU AUSTIN !!!!!
Been homebrewing like crazy on ps3 and wii lately. This video has given me some more ideas. Thanks austin you the man.
Why does the story about operation rainfall always seems to get wrongly told? The games already were announced to be localised for Europe and Nintendo of Europe even published and localised the games themselves. Operation rainfall was only for the American release.
Oh Austin, you better be wrong one more time to see more of these good games un-stuck on old consoles!
Can't believe Space Station Silicon Valley got a shout, I loved this game as a kid and while it felt like a fever dream then it does even more now. Keep up the great work man, you're doing a great service in providing love to the lost and forgotten.
Okay I might be the only person who had all of Bucky O'Hare on VHS when I was a little kid, and of course I loved the video game. None of my friends ever knew what the hell I was talking about on the playground.
I cant even quantify the amount of hours I poured into PSO during college...my god, so many good memories. 20+ years later, my friends and I still ask each other to "open a telepipe" for shiggles
I Love "Pandora tower" is one of my favored games, the mix of story and gameplay is perfect. the bosses fights are great, and I love how they give lore in survival horror stray notes.
I loved Last Story back in the day. The book-like box that my game came in, made 15 year old me awestruck
Anyone remember Otogi: Myths of Demons. I think that's a game that deserves a remaster
From Soft. I still have my Xbox copies of 1 and 2.
I can't believe he didn't mention split/second - absolute gem of a racing game
Someone put Sonic frontier music over it lol.
Oh lord, I loved Captain Bucky O'Hare. The cartoon and the NES game.
it honestly feels like Nintendo hates the gamecube and anybody that likes it sometimes, wind waker, twilight princess, sunshine, and thousand year door being the only games from that they've brought back to an hd system and almost all of those ports just not being available anymore sucks
It did bomb.
Thank you for highlighting the High Moon Transformers Games! They NEED to come back. Its such a shame when a game is great regeardless of the property its tied too but will be lost because of the license to that property.
While Transformers has its roots in Japanese toys and was animated in Japan, it is very much an American creation made for American TV first and foremost by an American production company.
Despite videogames being a newer form of media than movies or TV shows, there's not as much desire to preserve them as their older brothers, and that's a shame because it should be even easier.
Good ol’ Dragon Force. I loved that game so much.
I am sure you either mentioned these in the last video or maybe even in this one, but we really need to bring custom robo and kid Icarus uprising the modern consoles: and by that, I mean either the switch or the switch 2🎮
Thank you for the video austin, and God Bless y'all🎮
I literally think this how bro.
30 years of inquiring Bubsy on a old console
Back on my PS3 12 yrs ago, War for Cybertron was one of my favorite games of all time, the world of Cybertron was so fantastic and as a child it blew me away, there was also the racing and vehicular battle stages which were some of the best levels imo
Yessss! I know what I'm watching this afternoon during work!
Why is Punch Out stuck on the Wii? Cause if you hit the Pacific Islander like character enough Pineapples start flying out of him. Nintendo is smart enough to realize those sort of stereotypes won't fly today.
Star Wars Demolition was amazing and I will die on that hill.
I'm with you. And I love that it's playable again on PS5
@@Mechaprimeable Which version? The original or enhanced Dreamcast port? The Dreamcast version looks way better.
@@madmaster0015 yeah it's just the PS1 version unfortunately. Can't have everything.
I’d love to play Muramasa on something that isn’t a Wii or Vita.
Better yet, I’d love to see a port+localization of Princess Crown. I know there was a fantranslation, but I don’t think it’ll ever be finished.
Fall of Cybertron is one of the most passionate passion project games ever. And Im not even into Transformers stuff.
Such a well made campaign and the ending is pure badass.
I completely forgot about Dragon Force, I loved that game on saturn.
The Great Grind continues! Thanks for the upload Austin🤙🏼
As an owner and fan of Mischief Makers, i feel represented.
The whole PSO bit.. gave me so much nostalgia. That game was truly special.. I just loved playing local multiplayer on my gamecube.
Miss those days ❤
What a coincidence! I was just eyeing the PSO Ephinea server just this week thinking about jumping in for the first time since I missed the boat on the Dreamcast when I was younger (was mainly a Nintendo kid) I'm more familiar with base PSO2 JP and NA when it came over here but I've always wanted to see what I missed out on with the original. The UI and chat sounds you always use in your videos don't go unnoticed whatsoever though - I see you!
Thankfully we got Freedom Wars from the VITA next year for current platforms.
"The Last Story".... da na na naa na na naa na na na .... ugh MY heart... that game needs a better home and upgraded visuals.... dear gods of Jrpgs PLEASE save this gem!
Man I knew your channel was gold when you covered Goemon on the N64!! Glad to see you’re thriving, bro!
I kind of want this to be a regular series on this channel. I'm a sucker for this kind of content.
I can only imagine that the High Moon Transformers games got overlooked because they came after roughly half a decade of games based on the films. I don't remember hearing about them until after Devastation came out (and had been delisted), and had to resort to "illicit means" to play them.
I recently replayed an old favorite, Drakan on the PS2 (haven't replayed the original PC one in ages) and while I still love it, it could REALLY stand some modern gameplay. And it should, who doesn't want swordplay and dragon riding?
You have been talking up Treasure a lot in this video. So I would like to bring up a few of their other games that are stuck on old hardware.
Silhouette Mirage, Gradius V, and Sin & Punishment: Star Successor are Treasure games that need to be re-released.
Never been this early. Keep up the good work! Been following your channel for many years now. Anyway, this topic surely brings up the importance of emulation which helps to prevent titles like the ones featured here to become inaccessible.
Emulation sure is a savior.
JSRF being stuck on the original Xbox is so crazy. It’s the only reason I still have mine
Bucky oHare was one of my fav cartoons as a kid, i still cant believe it was only 1 season cuz it sure feels like there was more. That might also be because it was like 30+ years ago now. I still have my Deadeye Duck action figure with the accessories. The game was awesome too!
Konami could probably release a 'Saturday morning cartoon arcade beat'em up collection' for 40-50 bucks with all their ports and I'd happily fund their pachinko habit for a walk down memory lane.
I'd just hope they include the Aliens/AVP beat'em ups.
a time when I had no money and could only lie that the changer ate my dollar at the pizza place so the lady would give me one and I could play a few rounds.
man, I was a little snot.
PSO was something amazing. There was nothing like it. I used to play this game for hours. I made a lot of friends online.
Wow, the real impact this video had is making me realise just how good the Starfox soundtrack is ❤
Minor correction: Transformers is not solely a Japanese IP; rather, it was created by Japanese toy company Takara Tomy AND American toy company Hasbro, so its actually a joint creation, which I think is pretty cool.
But wait! Double Dash isn't a good... oh, I can't do that bit anymore.
Hey!! Its you!!
What?
@@AFAIK-l8k hes making a joke saying that double dash isn't a good game
I loved Mischief Makers so much when I rented it that I actually bought it when Blockbuster went out of business and still have it with me to this day.
When I was a kid I played mischief makers and the one thing that ALWAYS stuck with me was “ shake , shake “ and those shy guy faces on those ball alien thingys all over the levels
The Last Story and Pandora's Tower was sick af I liked the games a lot. I wish more people got to enjoy those ones. Also nice to see you are also Double Dash pilled lol great video
While Mechassault makes other hardcore Battletech fans scream and tear out their hair, it's a good couple games. Just plain fun.
PSO my beloved. I'm with you on bringing it back in some form. I've played the private server version a few times over the years. I've gone back to play for a week or two before stopping. Rinse and repeat. It's such a "Vibe" game and my gaming memories of the time are some of my most cherished.
I have always wanted that GIJOE arcade game on home console ever since I saw it. I know there’s emulation, but it’s nice to have official releases.
holy shit I saw the notification and rejoiced. I love your content and I’ve been waiting for a new video
Great video man
Cool video dude. I really liked the Need for Speed games on the PS2. That was a really cool time to play videogames. There was almost this weird cross-culture between music and videogames you don't see anymore. I remember I had this ATV game that was pretty cool, but half the reason was for the soundtrack. It had like Smashing Pumpkins and Alice and Chains on it. I really miss those days, but hopefully they're not gone, just in hibernation.
We need a Wario World remaster or sequel. Surprised you didn't talk about that fever dream of a game.
Wario land too.
