"I promise its not a hentai game just don't play it with your parents in the room".... those are some... very reassuring words
can I get a timestamp for this, I must've missed her saying that 😂
@@Nuclearstomp 8:18
"....they won't believe you"
@@chimp9465 Pretty sure that's the pronoun that Gamechamp goes by and has always asked people to use. So yeah, her.
@@MrCatstache151 btw I forgot to say it but thank you, I did appreciate it
Honestly, i hope we see more laid back content like this in the future, it's really refreshing seeing this kind of new video
Agree
I agree to.
Rosenblatt is
Et
I'm so glad someone else remembers our Unemployed Ninja girl. Izuna deserves a remake or something
Every time we get a Nintendo direct, I pray that they’re gonna announce a re-release of the two games.
I'll have to try these two out, unknowing to my grandmother she got the OG mystery dungeon which I ate up as a kid, these seem even better!
It should especially with second hand copies being fucking ridiculously priced (I was lucky to find them for cheap back before they spiked)
@@ShiningTaiga same. I lost my original copies of the games and had to rebuy them a few years back. Even then, they were pretty expensive
I really enjoyed Izuna, always neat to see someone else who got to play it XD
Fun fact, Space Invaders is regarded as one of the first games with a difficulty curve, since the aliens speed up the more of them you defeat... but that was an accident, they move slow at first because there was more of them and the game's processor couldn't handle that. It became iconic mainly due to a glitch.
There's some parallels between that and Judgment Silversword.
I mean, obviously it went in the opposite direction-the hardware speed _flattened_ the difficulty curve instead of _creating_ one. But still.
And on bullet hells in general, they are shooting for that slowdown intentionally.
That was the first thing my mind jumped to as well
I recommend Boktai, or Bokura No Taiyo in Japan. Super unique solar-powered stealth-shooter-RPG that uses the literal real sun to power most of the games' mechanics, like weapon charging and the damage enemies take. When emulated you don't have to go outside with a physical cartridge, as there's a program available for simulating the sun for the emulator. That way you don't have to get sunburns to play it. Also, I forgot to mention it's a vampire hunting game with Norse and Spaghetti-Western inspired aesthetics.
I was a huge MMBN nerd as a teen and was able to find Boktai 1 at a used game store. I still have it and I've been looking for the 2nd recently but it's not very common. But it's definitely a fun game!
Where can I find this program, Ive been wanting to look into those games
@@millis6054 It comes with some emulators like mgba.
@@joskobelosevic7150 many thanks, Ill start digging around for a rom later, probably around vimm’s lair, you can find practical any old game there
"Okay let's see just how obscure this list of 'unknown' games can really be."
*wonderswan bullet hell that gets easier the longer you play it*
"...Yeah, that that'll do it!"
13:05 yeah the throwing mechanic is a pretty useful tool in the mystery dungeon games. There are seeds that debuff you if you eat them, so if you throw them at any enemy, including bosses, they will catch them and eat them, which can lead to crazy set ups to oneshot a lot of the bosses.
I remember cheesing at least one boss because I'd just throw sleep seeds at it while I waited for my team to beat it up.
Even looking outside of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games to the actual Roguelike games in the series like Mystery Dungeon: Shiren The Wanderer there is even more of this type of stuff. For example in that game you can get various different "monster meats" which when eaten turns you into that monster for a little while. This of course works on enemies too, so if you manage to take some early game monster meat all the way to the final boss you can very easily cheese him with it.
Sheepdog n' Wolf is a JAM. I rented it as a kid in the early 2000s and later purchased it. It gets very hard sometimes but the puzzles are fun and very silly. It has a lot of style as well! It's available on PS1 for those looking 😁
This ""dumb filler"" video was far more entertaining than 90% of the videos I've watched this year, no exaggeration.
Looking forward to the now-inevitable "Can YOU beat Judgement Silversword WITHOUT Slowdown?" VG Myth LUL
Oh my God someone that ACTUALLY knows Izuna exists!!!!!
I *cannot* understate how underrated this game is. Its not gonna be subject to many other videos sadly but it is a genuine fun time ♡♡♡ I still have both my original copies but if you can find one, please give it a chance if you are interested
I found both the games at a gamestops years ago and I still pop it in to play it every now and then. Seriously a great game
@@TheOmegaFighter same. I don't know where or why I bought the first (got the second because sequel) and I like to go back. The music always gets me going too
I have a working ds, but I very much doubt I can just stroll into gamestop and find a copy.
@@plaidhatter1674 that's why I said if one can find a copy. I'm pretty sure they are a little hard to come by. Shame but what can ya do...
@@plaidhatter1674 well you know what they say about the high sea's
Oh man, I haven't laughed at anything as hard as I did at the Mary-Kate and Ashley segment in a good while.
Thanks for the list, too. There are some pretty interesting recommendations here that I'm definitely keen to check out!
You killed me with
"It's available on! ...nothing. ... Guess you'll have to figure that out!"
But also a relatable problem
I'm sure you can find all the video games on this list if you sail far enough...
Joke's on you; I like your content so much, even "filler" is enjoyable ☺️
Is anybody tracking that game of chess in the patron list? I want to see how that game is going.
What are the moves so far?
@@austinfletchermusic idk that’s why I asked
@@ezrel6477 Oh sorry I'm stupid
@@austinfletchermusic it’s all good
So I watch the whole credit roll and there was only 1 move. And it was Black pawn to F6
Oh boy a filler arc! Everyone loves those! Lol I’ll watch and hopefully ya get a few more penny’s in your bank account.
I've played Izuna 1 it was fun
To add to this pile I'd like to add the Azure striker gunvolt games to the list for being great 2d action platformers with interesting mechanics and two spin-off titles in the form of the luminous avenger Ix games with the third entry in the main series coming out this summer
Honestly done of inti creates best titles that more people should play, (small VG myths idea: gunvolt 1 and gv's campaign in 2 without the gun and skills then for copen in gv2 and ix 1&2 ex weapons only should be a great challenge)
Yesss gunvolt is so goated. Haven’t played it since like 2017 on my 2ds but i liked the part where the game decides that your death doesn’t count and then makes you OP with j-pop playing in the background
16:04 “WHY AM I ON THE OCEAN?” honestly has the same energy as “PERRY THE PLATAPUS”
Oh, Filler, my faveorite!
Yeah, the slowdown tends to be the only thing that makes a lot of old shmups playable.
The CAVE ports have their slowdown intact.
I don't know you at all, I have only ever watched you stream twice (amusingly both times just in time to see you beat a rockman challenge and the pacifist metroid challenge)
But when you sound happy / relieved / excited it is extremely infectious and brings a huge smile to my face.
Don’t worry gamechamp,These challenges take forever it’s alright if your having trouble these challenges are very difficult I haven’t tried any of these but just by looking at your footage.I don’t think I would be able to do this.
Ik this is a horrible place for a recommendation, but here I go. I had a VG myth idea. Destroy all humans focuses on weapon and power use a lot, so maybe one of the two could be tied behind your back. Who knows?
Finally! Someone else who knows about Dead or School! It's quirky, it's got charm, it's got heartfelt moments, and you really get the sense of this girl who's too naïve for her own good who brings together a group of people just so they can all go to school together. Fantastic game, fantastic recommendation, ten outta ten overall!
Dead or School is currently on sale on psn for like $8. I'm definitely contemplating buying it but I'm still not sure. It's not a genre I typically play.
did not expect this video to open with gamechamp solving a conspiracy about an old shmup game but it was great 10/10
Holy shit!! I thought I was the only one that remembers the Izuna games! Impeccable taste as always miss Gamechamp!
Judgement Silversword with no lag reminds me of the overclocked Star Fox mod for the original SNES game.
oh my god, I ADORED Sheep Dog (thats how i always called it) when I was a kid, the game was incredible, I had so much fun playing it. I don't think i ever fully beat it, it was HARD, but I really enjoyed everything about it, specially the few levels where entering a level door from behind would take you to like a past or future verison of the level, I always found that to be so cool
I love Izuna!! What a good game! Definitely going to check the rest of these out 😁
I don't mind a "filler" episode. I love your videos and was constantly checking to see if I somehow missed a new video from you! ❤️ You never fail to make me smile/laugh.
Gamechamp’s laugh was so gleeful that i can’t help but laugh too 🤣
I’ve got three that you should totally play, they’re all on the DS so good luck. Monster tale, a metroidvania and pet game. The Legendary Starfy, a platformer. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Explorers of sky, a personality quiz.
Monster Tale and The Legendary Starfy slap to this day, those are very good suggestions
The thing about how bullet hells are made is that they intentionally push hardware beyond it's limit so the the slowdown occurs. It's an intended bug in a way. And bullet hell offisianado should know this.
Honestly, I would love to see more of these type of videos. Not only is it a nice little break from VGMyths, it’s also just nice seeing you talk about games without doing a challenge run, especially with obscure games.
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for making it, it was very chill!!
I can't believe I waited so long to watch this. The genuine laughter near the end gave me life. Thank you for this video
Please do more of this video, when you are being so bad at a game that it takes so long to finish it. This was hilarious.
Actually unknown games with some great and interesting presentation. This is what a top like this should be like! Great job
Concerning the fifth (sorry, "only") game on the list, I had actually seen her play it on stream. I was still...quite surprised to see it listed here.
Sheep raider brought me back. I've been slowly looking for that game for years as it sat as a distant memory from my time as a young child. Thank you for finally giving me an answer. Now I simply must find a way to play the damn thing...
Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for ye. But you didn't hear that suggestion from me
Loved this video. Hope you make more like this. Keep it up!!
i cant believe with the game listed or even the title/thumbnail or the intro that is served, the video actually very entertaining and one of the greatest that's been made by gamechamp so far
14:07 onward feels like a mental breakdown. This is excellent content.
Not kidding, but every part of this made this one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in a long time! Thanks man for the great entertainment!!
Hearing about sheep raider by you just fill me with joy. when young me and my brother couldnt beat it but we later come back as young adults and had blast going through the game and beating it for once
The best part is at the time we only spoke spanish and the game was fully translated including the voice of daffy and porky
honestly i needed this video, i want more videos that i havent played but totally should, thanks Ms.3000!
So that long time just makes me more excited, cause that brief frame you showed us means that we’re waiting for a “Can you beat Kingdom Hearts 2 at Level 1” run!
Sheep Raider is a classic in Brazil, for some reason. If you were a child in the PS1 era, and lived in Brazil at the time, you probably know the game. Always gets me off guard when I see it being mentioned as a hidden gem in international videos.
"If you want to die in school..."
Gamechamp, I live in America, I already have this covered.
13:05 it is. The pokemon mystery dungeon titles are kinda infamous for thrown items to be more effective then your own attacks at times (I have never fought a boss without throwing a sleep seed or something alike first)
Gotta say, for a filler episode this was pretty cool lol
Can't say I knew what I was expecting at the end there
this video was how i found out about dead or school and its now the only metroidvania i tolerate. thank you gamechamp, keep being awesome.
When you changed one of the long Patreon names I gasped, I was so surprised
Wow, this is the first time I've heard someone mention Dead or School since I got it like a year and a half ago. Haven't gotten too far in it between sucking at fighter games and school, but really like it. I've bought a handful of obscure games from the Japan and Asia regions and this one was definitely my favorite.
I love the patreon reel so much. F in the chat for All The Bugs Yugi Has Killed
Thanks for releasing this when dead or school was on a 66% off sale. I was tempted to get it before but not for the full price.
Randomly started watching this channel again last night and then here we are
Sheep raider was one of my favorite ps1 games as a kid. I love seeing people talk about it in modern day in positive light.
10:19 I LOVED Izuna. Unfortunately, I brought those games with me to my college, forgot them in the university center, came back for them, and they ghosted out of existence, along with a few other games I will never see again; because, I'm an idiot.
Another game I'd recommend is Gnosia, it's a single player hidden roles game with a surprisingly engaging story.
I'm 5 out of the 8 areas into Dead or School and I'm loving the game. Thanks for recommendation.
I also bought it on sale for 3 of my friends today as an early Christmas gift for each of them.
Today I learned at all not just of the game, but of the Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph The Wolf shorts. I was staring at the screen thinking "hold on, is this Wile E. Coyote???"
While being filler, this was still quite an enjoyable video. Love the content and cant wait for more (i will now sit here and wait)
I actually knew about Izuna... because she cameo's in another game the company made; Rondo of Swords (or Rondo of Deception in Japan). Incredibly bizarre TRPG that I definitely think is worth playing even if I couldn't call it "good" because it's definitely enjoyable and the story and characters are what really makes it.
Also, I definitely enjoy all your non-VG myth episodes. This one was a lot of fun and you clearly care about these games.
You mentioned it a few times, but major shoutouts to Eschatos as well! Really good shmup with the best soundtrack, like, ever. Ever ever. Trust me its an insane banger.
I really love the idea of the Shootemup rouge -lite like the first game you recommended, I know gungeon exists but it feels different. I think it's cool that the more you fail the better your chances are of succeeding next time based on skill and upgrades
One game I found recently is Void Terrarium. It’s a roguelike where you play as a robot who is tasked with keeping the last human, Toriko, left alive. You don’t keep any items after dungeons or if you die, but they are reduced to scrap you can use to feed Toriko, make medicine if she’s sick, make furniture for her place, or make new starting loadouts for your character. Both the SIM and Dungeon Crawling are linked intrinsically and losing in a dungeon is barely a punishment since you just get booted out with scrap, just the same as if you clear it. It’s on Switch, PS4, and PS5 at around $25 digital.
These games were really fun to hear about! Also the patron names this time were so wholesome, shoutout to whoever said to watch owl house and whoever named themselves after an owl house AU... I think
22:31 Extremely based. This is the secret 6th game you haven't played but should.
What I thought was just going to be a list of some videogames to look up ended up being really interesting, especially with your search for the slow-down.
Videos from you are my Saturday morning cartoons.
You know, I see Dead or School go on sale often and I've always had this curiosity about it, but never enough to even click and see what it's about. You've convinced me to do at least that much.
Dead or School was on my list for games I'd like to get on PS4. It looked interesting to me, so I do really look forward to getting it eventually, especially knowing now that it's a long game.
Started playing Izuna as soon as I saw the thumbnail for the video (I knew about the game already). I've only beaten the second dungeon so far, but it is fun. Never really played those types of games before, so I am glad that it has held my attention and I've enjoyed it.
I saw the playthrough for the Mary-Kate and Ashley game and didn't think it was that bad, honestly; definitely could have been worse for what it was.
I actually HAVE Izuna still on my shelf. Was a gift from my brother XD
0:29 Given I am concurrently seeing Mystery Dungeon-like Gameplay without any Pokémon, Chocobos, Dragon Quest Characters, or a guy named Shiren attached to it I am sure I am already sold on one of these...
16:23 pictured is Gamechamp going insane as god was proven real
Sheep, Dog, and Wolf was a GREAT time on the PS1. I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows it existed
Unbound: Worlds Apart is another really underrated game. It's quite quickly become my personal favorite platformer of all time.
It's at just the right difficulty for me (quite hard, but still very fair) and respawns you right before you died 99% of the time, because it has automatic save points right before almost every obstacle, which also means you can pretty much back out whenever you want.
Its main mechanic is quite unique, too. You have a bubble that you can spawn, and for different areas, it has different effects. For example, there's one where you shrink, one where the direction of gravity reverses, and one that pretty much pauses time.
Gonna throw my own hat into the ring to recommend Ghost 1.0. It's a story-driven sidescroller that becomes a rouge-like after you beat it. Super fun, needs more love.
Izuna looks awesome, there should be more games that use mystery dungeon mechanics. I'd recommend you play a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game, I believe Explorers of Sky (DS) is widely considered the best but it's a bit hard to get ahold of. Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness are similar and easier to find. I've been having a lot of fun with Rescue Team DX on the switch, but Super Mystery Dungeon on 3DS is my personal favourite because of more of a "recruit em all" focus and little RNG when recruiting. I've barely played Gates to Infinity (also 3DS) but people say it's the worst one, I don't know if that means it's a bad game though. Never played Red Rescue Team or Blue Rescue Team (one GBA, one DS) but Rescue Team DX is a remake so they're probably great. I love this series so much, it's got some of the best stories and music to ever come out of the Pokemon franchise
Welp, there goes my Saturday, time to go watch you play the Mary and Kate game
I grew up with Sheep Raider! I still have the disc and everything, I absolutely ADORE it, the little oddball that it is. And I remember Izuna vaguely, there were ads for it in Tips N Tricks, and I always thought "Hey, that looks fun!" and then never bought it for some reason. I'll definitely check it out and check out the other games as well!
I made a vow to not skip a single ad this whole video. and almost like fate, I was tested with a 3-minute long eve online
I held strong
Wow that last one really broke her. Also the using items, and multiple characters/character swap is actually a mystery dungeon thing (especially the Pokémon mystery dungeon). I’d highly recommend running through the Explorers Of series. If you can get it explorers of sky is the best one with the most content.
I'm impressed you still read all the Patreon backers, most YTers who get a following of this size give up or restrict it to a certain tier
I love your videos, this kind of vid was fantastic, I hope we get more top or hidden gems or just talk about whatever the hell you want
Izuna looks really fun since I already played the mystery dungeon games
And hey I actually already played a good bit of Dead or School
Saw the Izuna thumbnail and came running!
I did not expect this list to start off with a WonderSwan Banger but I am pleasantly surprised, thankfully through technological advancements it was possible for me to play this magnificent game on original hardware using a flashcart
13:04 yes mystery dungeon also has this thing, at least explorers of sky which i just started playing again, btw that's an amazing game.
as an obscure game enthusiast i gotta say, this is SUCH an overlooked beach episode of gamechamp
Izuna was my intro to roguelikes too, and I got it because of the "Unemployed Ninja" in the title as well.
Turns out I'm not a big fan of roguelikes and never finished the game. I stopped playing halfway through the last dungeon.
This is the kinda content I wanna see between major videos personally.
Judgement Silversword I never heard of but does look like a good entry point into hard Shmups.
Dead or School I watched ProtonJon play one stream and it was HILARIOUS and I'm glad I got some more info on it.
SHEEP RAIDER WAS ACTUALLY A CHILDHOOD GAME HOLY SHIT I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW IT POP UP.... I also sucked at it.
Izuna, anyone who KNOWS Mystery Dungeon knows of Izuna. Whether or not we actually played it is another thing entirely! Pretty funny to see someone has played Izuna but not MD.
"Is this just a bit?" *scrolls ahead in the preview and sees the stream clip* "OH NO THIS ISN'T JUST A BIT ABORT ABORT"
In general, I'd say it's very worth to jump into random, obscure PSX era titles. There's so much hidden charm in those games that were forgotten in time. Even if the games are not super fun to play, it's still a good experience to.
Okay the ending credits edit was more amusing then it needed to be.
I can't remember the last time i laughed like that whilst watching RUclips in a long, long time
Yes! I love sheep raider. A long time ago my uncle gave me an original Playstation and I just happened to see a listing of it after immediately turning to ebay to look for some games. Very luckily managing to find some good games with no prior research.
the Izuna games look genuinely incredible
