Retro Active - Legend of the Mystical Ninja (part 1 of 3)

[2205Razors]

Greetings. At first, I was drawn into the classic game you're recording there. Later on, I'm more drawn to your answering questions from the commenters - some of it provide quite some insight, and I thank you for that. Keep on being awesome! :D

[FaustSketcher]

I actually don't like the mainstream japanese porn, I find the girls lack some.. spirit XD I find they tend to be too "posing like a little dominated girl" constantly moaning xDDD I kind of find it boring xD

[FaustSketcher]

well I've seen weird shit over japan but certainly a man with a bikini painted on singing 「楽しいなー楽しいなー」is not in my list XDDD!

[FaustSketcher]

haha living in japan sometimes i feel they are a little bit TOO considerate, and wish they talked to me more directly XD

[captainxshredsalot]

I love this game but your stupidity if ruining the game play for me

[ghost5558]

lol i compete in tae kwon do and i was playing dark souls and had a revalation, i should dodge and counter like i do in the game. these games really do help in real life :)

[sunsayer87]

i hope you get on guild wars 2

[JklgAqw]

Hey! I'm a Mississippi boy myself! Love your vids Bro!

[MrJokerQ49]

What's NG+, is it new game plus??? if it is, what is it exactly????

[EpicNameBro]

@MrJokerQ49 New game plus is when you clear the game, you restart with all of your gear and consumables. The enemies get harder, too. (talking about NG+ in Dark Souls)

[Rikah22]

@EpicNameBro have you played crysis 2 and do you think you would ever do a walkthrough of it

[nekonin28]

Japan name  is Ganbare Goemon. This game is very good.

[SHlNOBl3]

ive been playin this game for years, and i never know where to go, so i just hit everyone in town. especially the women!

[altairtoro]

uno de mis juegos favoritos de supernintendo,buena jugavilidad,dificultad y un apartado artistico grandioso,me encanta men que hagas videos de retrogames.

[111grngoblin111]

oh god i played this game once. it's a son of a bitch

[Laureveyn]

What do you think about Kazuaki Kiriya`s Goemon Movie?

[Treasurefan02]

Konami had some of the greatest music around. Them and Sunsoft.

[EricBowmanTOX]

Thanks for answering my questions Epic, I appreciate it. As someone interested in coming to Japan to teach English, I really like hearing about it from a fellow American's perspective.

Keep it up!

[Johanneskodo]

If you will join a guild in skyrim you should join the dark brotherhood ;)

[jazzynyc99]

"I run around town with my pipe, hit motherfuckers on the head..."

Haha, Epic, why yo so epic. Love the vids man.

[Rondart]

Hang on, isn't this Ganbare Goemon?

[EpicNameBro]

@Rondart Yup! In the US, LotMN

[Rondart]

@EpicNameBro Ooooh, indeed rare! I salute thee. Umbasa.

[SquallWulfhart]

Wow... I been trying to remember some of the SNES games I played as a kid and this was the one that I never could remember. Thanks man, I really need to check this one out again.

[JoshIcy]

Say it like you were saying it in Japanese only instead of dragging the o after "ho'" you say a new o sound and continue with the word as one word. Hawaiian is very similar to Japanese especially in sound (except that the w's are v's etc but yea vowels = same). And it is a promise.

[JoshIcy]

Japan is pretty much the same as any place in the pacific lol. Even Hawaii (where I'm from). Call me too much of an islander, but isolating Japan for that is a tad bit insulting if understandable xD.

[EpicNameBro]

@JoshIcy I wasn't really calling out Japan specifically... just speaking from my experience! (which is limited to Japan lol)

It certainly wasn't meant as an insult... just trying to explain something that I think a lot of US folks (mainlanders anyway) are surprised by!

[JoshIcy]

@EpicNameBro No no I know xD, thats why I said "if understandable". No harm taken, none given. But since I have your mild attention go look up something called ho'oponopono on Wikia. I think you'll like it.

[EpicNameBro]

@JoshIcy Wow, very awesome. I learned something today! I love learning about different ways of doing things, but man... I don't think I can pronounce that to save my life. But what else is new? Haha

Thanks Josh! I'm gonna try pronouncing it in the next vid.. you make sure to correct me, deal?

[Kno63]

Man! i am sure that i played this game but i think i was like 6 years o less haha wierd memories i guess

[ZeR0creations]

Epic u r a pimp

[xLiKx]

Are you my twin? One of my fave games ever!

[danpats1]

do you read manga or watch anime?

[danpats1]

not as good as Chrono Trigga, nigga!

[EpicNameBro]

@danpats1 .....are you reading my mind?

...mwahahaha.

[KeoTheSoulReaper]

FUCK YEAH!!!!

[defeatdeath]

fuck you epic cunt

[page9931]

LMFAO@ that guy at 10 minutes what an idiot.

[page9931]

awesome video i didn't know what this game was b4 this video

[Relizithians]

Armoured Core 5!!!!!! YEA!

[SwixGamer]

Did U AnSwEr my question!!??

[MrMSum]

epic, check out Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It comes out in Feb. A proven writer, R.A. Salvatore, wrote the story and Todd McFarlane did the art! It looks really cool.

[PabloLaConecta]

Word up Epic! If you are a fan of Ninja Gaiden, you may want to check out Devils Third being developed by Valhalla Game Studios, headed by Tomonobu Itagaki who produced Ninja Gaiden on the first Xbox.

It's looking super badass!

[ShinyNightglower]

Epic question right there 10:17

[MrSalmon88]

hey epic you ever play Pocky&Rocky? its similar to LOTMN i actually like it more. Check out Pocky and Rocky 1 or 2 they are great.

[EpicNameBro]

@MrSalmon88 Pocky and Rocky was a pretty awesome game, too!

[breedertron]

Have you ever played a game called suikoden? 1 & 2 mainly great JRPG fantastic story that pulls you in. If you havent i suggest giving it ago :)

[breedertron]

Sweet! think ill be moving to japan to hit that shit up :P

[satusrivastava]

Hey Epic! Just a quick heads up - new Skyrim patch out now! Apparently it fixed all the fps issues etc :)

[dmoneyxd]

@satusrivastava really? i played just now no patch came out

[advancedpillow]

this game is gangsta!

[tengumaru]

Dude, huge props for doing a Goemon run. If you can, play 2 and 4, also for the Super Nintendo. The games are awesome and funny as fuck, but not many people played them because they are japanese-only. If you played them and translated the jokes, it would be like a favor to mankind.

[EpicNameBro]

@tengumaru Ooooh. That is a good idea that I didn't think about before!

I've got a full plate for now, but this is a REALLY good idea.

[hefhef54321]

hey epic, i understand tht u give personal info abt urself 2 be friendly with ur viewers but dont u think tht ur being TOO friendly. i no its non of my business but u shouldnt've told ppl abt ur private life cuz now u get spams and i would really hate 2 c u hatin all of us if some1 crosses the red line with u

but of course, its up 2 u, im only telling u my opinion

love ur vids man : )

[EpicNameBro]

@hefhef54321 Ah no worries. If anything it truly out-of-bounds I just won't talk about it.

Thanks for looking out tho man!

[devonte614]

awww nice! answered my question thanks bro!

[Rafahil]

Epyon is da best.

[Jimaera]

Epic, you're my fucking hero for picking up this game.

[a2thecs]

Yep, I approve! It's totally like how I'd imagine a normal day in Japan as well. You can't even question this I mean c'mon... how could you?

[Kwin]

Keep up the goodness, Sir. Keep up the goodness.

[xXFSCXx]

these old games are so entertaining to watch

[desthmoneses]

DUDE this was an effing blast from the past. I played this right around when I got my first videogame which was a Mickey Mouse game on the SNES about saving a dog. Damn I feel nostalgic, I'm getting old.

[ronaldwangdra1995]

dang... this game is older than I am...

[sevx1]

@ronaldwangdra1995 you are a kid then.

[ronaldwangdra1995]

@sevx1 I'd rather be called a teenager, but a kid works fine, too...

but you must be pretty old to call a possibly 20-year-old a kid...

This game was first released in 1991, so the max possible age I could be by stating that this game is older than I is 20 as well, me being a few months younger... Just sayin'

I'm not saying I'm 20, but I'm old enough to drive...

[sevx1]

@ronaldwangdra1995 im 25, not really super old, but i did play it as a kid and was born when it was released :P

[ronaldwangdra1995]

@sevx1 ahh... I hate how I missed so many good games...

[CaptainMcStabin]

playing through dark souls helps epic in his daily life, you know like when he find a chest in real life he knows to always keep his shield up.

[freecake1]

@CaptainMcStabin that rocked my socks off. . . .

[EpicNameBro]

@CaptainMcStabin DkS made me a pro at dodgeball

unlike Gohan!

[dvssk8er3]

Mysitcal Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64 was a great game, I used to rent it all the time from Blockbuster.

[JaCieKochams2]

They have this on the N64 the best one

[fireface6]

shit myself when he answered my question 

[KidGokuuu]

wow epic that is some great advice about why math is important and how games can affect your way of thinking. thanks. keep making epic vids bro

[GlassGoth]

I have to say about the whole how did you get popular so fast... /v/ sent a LOT of us here. We all pretty much love you man, keep up the good work.

[JetblackSYN]

Why is the old guy surrounded by jizz at 1:02 lol

[recontranaso]

@15:05 Looks like one of my favorite games: LifeForce

[kennyclone]

why do you think your a gansta?

your a white guy living in japan.

[megaT2k10]

@kennyclone Dont hate .......appreciate :)

[kennyclone]

@megaT2k10

i appreciate he puts up videos, but its a bit weird to hear him say some stuff

[TheGiantKiller8]

HEY EPIC

You watch animes like ONe piece? I used too watch some but found Japanese anime way to depressing

[Defteezy]

@ 1:00 - WTF, Konami threw in some epic sperm!

[dHeavyEchob]

Hey Epic what is the most insain game you've ever played? in a this is awesome way or a WTF way, mine would have to be Vanquish

[EpicNameBro]

@dHeavyEchob I forgot about Vanquish! I was so hyped for that before it was released, but then I was too busy and forgot about it. :O

I need to try that sometime.

[koosdechauffur]

Wow the considerate nature of japanese people sounds really cool. That makes me want to live there too. Out here in the west it's all about number one.. japan sounds better.

[Fahrenheit38]

Why does the dude with the blue hair have his head hair under his nose?

[AzVoxtrot]

I heard they were coming out with a patch to fix the PS3 glitch for Skyrim by the end of November, so hopefully soon. 

[DontFearGrim]

Hey Epic, you playing this on emulator or you still have your snes?

[unixtreme]

Awesome video, as usual, keep it up mate!

[BeatupMckillyoustein]

Hahahaha epic, i love how you answer questions even if you just answered them :D

[shnickleshnack]

is ps3 ur favorite console and what ps3 only game is ur favorite

[whisecracker]

do you like pie?

[MrLiveinabox]

epic, wat does it mean if my penis is glowing purple and orange

[mime12]

Holy crap my childhood

[joeypawpaw]

HOW BIG IS YOUR PENIS GOD...

[z3nkin]

lol do u play COD lol xD

[manbearpigsereal]

This is probably a lot to ask with your current projects in mind, but are you considering an FFXIII-2 playthrough?

[Magus322]

@manbearpigsereal Thats a good shout, though I wouldn't watch it to save me from spoilers

[SimaMatt]

Holy crap I just had this big dorky smile when I saw this in my subscription box. You've got great taste in games.

[EpicNameBro]

@SimaMatt And I had a big dorky smile the whole time I was playing this bad boy!

[Christopheerful]

It's really cool how you have the playthrough and the questions

[emeraldo]

holy shit, memories!!! you're the best man!

[Supremenez]

Oh, and you are right I passed my math test because of dark souls, I was what the fuck is this!? And then I remembered the game and said there must be a way there is always a way in dark souls

[1984ghostzero]

LOL dang bro, i felt the awkwardness over here when you read that "japanese gf" question :P

what an ass for posting that shit :/:/

love your videos as always :P keep them up bro :D

[Supremenez]

Hey Epic, have you heard about Corpse Party I hear its sick and are you exited about Lollipop Chainsaw?

[niko092586]

I haven't had any freezing problem on skyrim is it only the japanese version

[kidzaretehbest]

@niko092586 Happens all the time from what I hear. I have seen it happen personally on 2 of my friends consoles multiple times.

[1tothe2and3]

@niko092586 nah almost all ps3 versions have here in europe a lot of people have it. It's related to the size of your save game wich increases the longer you play. Mine is 7,5 mb atm and the framerates have dropped drastically. They did announce a fix but the question remains when :p

[TaliaTxT]

@sansviedotcom i spotted your question :D

[hundredsac]

yo epic. concerning skyrim. i read that large save files can be problematic. perhaps your save file is too large? i think anything over 6mb could create issues. then again. bethesda is pretty lousy when it comes to the ps3 :/

[ryven]

I'll bet money that OCRemix has remixes of these songs. check it out dude. i got some sick mixes of all the Donkey Kong Country music.

[EpicNameBro]

@ryven There are a few but... man. I can't believe more people aren't into this shit!

[ryven]

@EpicNameBro Well then why don't we make some. Could be an interesting project

[niko092586]

Bro what happened to skyrim

[hundredsac]

@niko092586 he's got the ps3 version. and it constantly freezes on him. he said he'll post more after a patch is released.

[TheTelliusx3]

@niko092586 He cant play because it crashes e alot on his PS3, he is waiting for the patch.

[hundredsac]

one concern of mine. i've been watching your vids since around 3,000 subs. and i notice there are a lot of redundant questions. lol and you still answer them. perhaps you can skip over them and remind your subs that there are other ask epic vids. nevertheless, i always watch all the vids. keep up the great work!

[a1b2m13]

Ninja Gaiden 3 looks OK but I think people are worried because Tomonobu Itagaki isn't at Team Ninja anymore since he left to start Valhalla. Personally I never really liked Ninja Gaiden, always thought it was stiff to control.

[gavril08]

uc3?

[BrandtLC4]

Oh god this game <3

[Ardentzero]

I agree with the idea that playing some difficult games can translate over into rl: I play rts games, namely Starcraft 2, and while in a game there is no time to think about all the pros and cons of a decision. A choice has to be made in the moment and acted on. After the game is over you have plenty of time to analyze the outcome and learn from any mistakes. I've been applying this to my day to day life and it has helped me a lot.

[GunZEntertainmentZ]

11:55 EpicNameBro, this is so fucking true mah nigga <3 loves yah bro

[hefhef54321]

hey epic, glad 2 c tht ur still makin good vids

and this time u make a vid.....abt a game......tht was released........in the year i was BORN!!!!

man i cant say tht i like it more thn dark souls, but if u do, *sigh* different ppl have different tastes, right?

but u'll make vids abt dark souls again, right? dont stay 2 long in the world of 2D XD

[EpicNameBro]

@hefhef54321 Yeah, there'll be more DkS this weekend.

I don't like this game as much as DkS, but it is seriously BEAST game. Especially for the time period, but even now it's still fun.

[skaman8348]

So, Epic...I'm surprised no one has asked you about Monster Hunter. It's one of the largest and most popular game series in Japan (and a personal favorite), and knowing your appreciation for great games with steeper learning curves, rewarding gameplay, and just badassery, I have to ask: Have you every played he Monster Hunter games, and if so, what do you think about them?

[hundredsac]

@skaman8348 he's actually talked about this in a few of his ask epic vids. he's never played any of them. and he's gotten a lot of request to play. maybe someday...

[Ardentzero]

I played a game like this one for the N64. I loved it! It was so fun but I never ended up beating the game :(

[animebest099]

10:18 I lol'd

[Suogrey]

OMG I love you man best game everrr lol

[beefboy97]

hey just a quick question are you looking forward to mass effect three and are you planning on getting final fantasy 13 the second part please respond

also been watching all your dark souls vids love them :D

[sevx1]

O M G, 1 of my if not my favorite game on the SNES! thank you so much for doing this bro!

[EpicNameBro]

@sevx1 Playing this game is very literally my pleasure!

[billcosbyman]

Yo! Epic! Glad to see the videos continue...I'm sure there are a lot of people like myself who started following you during Dark Souls for info on that game but continue to do so after it's all done...the videos are great, keep it up!

Quick question: Have you ever thought about pursuing a career in game development or anything similar?

Take it easy!

ZIPZOP- billcosbyman

[EpicNameBro]

@billcosbyman Life's goal, man. Life's goal.

There's been a game in my head for 20 years now. I HAVE to play it before I die, and no one else is going to make it.

[billcosbyman]

@EpicNameBro

Right on man...let me know when the preorders open! LOL

[superotakufan]

i totally agreed with what epic said at 11:55.

[Luuundii]

@superotakufan It's so true, he speak more about it in the dark souls video when he kill the boss in asylum :)

[NarcolepticFaith]

dude, good memories...dubstep remix soon...XD

[04HUNGRY]

Wow, I never knew that there was one on the SNES. The only Goemon series game I had was Goemon's Great Adventure for the Nintendo 64. Great times...

[EpicNameBro]

@04HUNGRY This series actually started even before the SNES! This was the first one released outside of JP, though

[Aeds17]

OH MY GOD. I played this when I was younger at a friends house. But I had no idea what it was called when I was looking for it when I was older. I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[EpicNameBro]

@Aeds17 It's really beast 2-player!

[Danowner]

Goddamn, I love the Goemon series. It's a shame Konami killed it off though. :(

[sansviedotcom]

Love that old Konami jingle. Nostalgia mode.

[EpicNameBro]

@sansviedotcom too bad the code does nothing in this one!

[ravenmyste]

oh yeah i remember this fucking game so much fun!

[aCOGandhisGUN]

You live in Japan? Lucky

[Xentospot]

oooh I remember that one...Konami yeah,the best of the best.

[mrrehino]

awesome. i haven't played this but i have the mystical ninja nintendo 64 game. i thought it was a pretty cool game.

[Luuundii]

Let's move to Japan!

[superotakufan]

you sir are epoch!

[aCOGandhisGUN]

AWESOME love this game, me and my brothers have never completed it but ive watched lp's on it

[superotakufan]

[EpicNameBro]

@superotakufan an AMAZING game!

[superotakufan]

@EpicNameBro hey epic i wanna know do you play metal gear solid, silent hill, or fatal frame?? any of those nice ps1 and ps2 classics??

[slashdotism]
