Classic Game Room - GLEY LANCER for Nintendo Wii review

[PseudonymPlayer]

what an awesome smug, must get megadrive original! =O

[tattleboad]

tight fuckin game

[AltairEgo1]

There's 4 difficulty settings. You're forgetting the cheat to unlock mania mode; And if that doesn't satisfy you..... well, stick with the likes of Gradius 3 Arcade :| One screw up and it's all over. That seems to be more your speed.

[Bloodthr0e]

I'm shocked that Mark would suggest Wii VC over official hardware. Utterly shocked!

[SNESosT]

@Bloodthr0e come on now, Mark can't review all of them from there real hardware, like this one for example, this game is worth over $170 but still gave us this review for only spending $10. He can't spend $170 for a review, plus he reviews all other consoles. so yeah, sometimes rom are better for him instead.

[54miis1heb351]

Did you make that dialogue up or is it the real one? It seems kinda weird. xD

[thisnameisabadname]

Aw I excpected "All you base are belong to us"

[classof77]

I am having a VERY hard time not reading and hearing it "GHEY LANCER."

Facts is facts.

[KeijidaKilla]

pink hair and big eyes? check!

[infringementMAN]

$135 on Ebay. But nothing beats Radiant Silvergun.

[v2791]

holy shit, the music on this game is just awesome

[Ziiilder]

When the question is: "What is the ultimate gaming machine of all times?", the answer is could by only one: PC.

[frickfrock999]

A plot in a side scrolling spaceship shooter?

That's CRAZY TALK!

[FlibbaDibba]

1:03 UNNECESSARY APOSTROPHE, MARK!!!!!!!

[rudorot65]

a fish fry hell yeah where at

[vjbthe3]

Only thing better than a flamethrower in space, is a flamethrower underwater

[YEE941]

lol @ 0:56

[InjectedWithAPoison]

Japanese spell it "Gray Rancer".

[blurpboyz]

ur the best Mark!!!!

[spacexploder]

a fishfry? hell yeah! where at?

[PS3GAMER291]

4:40 That's an..um...interesting looking ship there

[gumbyx84]

Mark's story for these JPN games are far better then anything they could have come up with back in the day. Mark! rewrite the story to FFVII so its actually good. I kid I kid....

[HumanLies]

Lol Gay Dancer...

[TBoneTony]

Fish fry....It is for this reason why I want to play retro Japanese games so I could try and make up my own storyline from what is going on with the text that I can't understand.

ahhh....playing a Japanese game without knowing what is going on is really fun stuff.

[videoViewer143]

The flamethrower looks like a popcorn shooter.

[PirateDrive]

Order up, it's time to die!

[eins2001]

@backwoodsmods Just watch out for that incoming enemy from the rear.

[LanIost]

I would say the light saber on the bottom arm thing is cooler than a flame thrower.

Now, if you could do flame thrower on top an light saber on bottom.. would you really even need your little pea shooter in the middle? Pssh.

[Oric7d]

reminds me of R-Type

[KatzOhki]

Looks cool. I haven't even noticed it on VC, but now I'll have to take a second look!

[crombmonkey53]

i have a major question, it seems like some people that worked on contra hard corps worked on this as well... did konami help in any way in making this game?

[TheZorseWhisperer]

DOUBLE DUTY LITTER FTW!

[stoltobot]

can u get foreign games for VC? I live in Japan and there are heaps of games that I'd like from the US store

[BurningArmyman]

@stoltobot really i thought the VC library in japan was larger

[Morden101]

Merry xmas Mark. Ive found your reviews over the past few months interesting and entertaining

[wightknight121]

In England it's called the megadrive but it plays both genesis and megadrive games so I always thought a megadrive was a renamed gegesis

[VecTron5]

*0:48* omg it's hitomi!

[screilly]

Merry Christmas Mark!

[jesseffm]

Oh, and Marc, I forgot to say.

There is also a flame thrower weapon in Soldner X. :-)

[jesseffm]

You should really give Soldner X 2 Final Prototype a try.

It's a very cool, side scrolling shooter with excellent graphics, brilliant music (I love the soundtrack!) and classic gameplay on PSN.

A lot better then the first part, which was good but damn hard and not as polished and great as this one.

I am surprised you still didn't review it.

[Llama212ify]

Merry Christmas peoples! More specifically, Mark.

[Vinny792]

LOL My belly is full of Fried Fish Yum

[SinglePlayerGamer]

Wow, that level at 3:25 is beautiful. Great graphics on this one, nice presentation.

Wish it would have come to the US Genesis.

[Trusteft]

Hmm, first of all, I thought the title was Gay Dancer, which didn't make ANY sense for a Wii game.

Much better now.

Hmm, the Jupiter level reminds me of Galactic Conqueror, if it was a sidescroller.

Great review.

[DrasticDavid96]

@redclone09 he did one of redemption

[Guardaviewe3]

Mega Drive is a far cooler name than 'Genesis'.

[SNESosT]

@Guardaviewe3 they were gonna cool it the mega drive in the states but couldn't due to some product that already had that name so they had to rename it as the sega genesis and yes I prefer mega drive a LOT MORE.

[redclone09]

review red dead rendemption and revolver

[SnowShark95]

I love the intro song

[Kunibuler]

Review zero wing

[OverruledDood]

@Kunibuler Zero Wing? i dont think that was even released in the u.s., cause i cant find a copy of that game anywhere.

[Kunibuler]

@OverruledDood Hmm... I don't know about that. I only played it on an emulator. I thought it was available since Zero Wing is infamous for it's awful english translation ("all your base are belong to us")

[GamerNinjaX]

@Kunibuler all your reviews are belong to us.

[GamerNinjaX]

@Kunibuler all your reviews are belong to us.

[ZeroDragon]

this game is awesome, nice review Mark!.

[damA2046]

There is an actual English fan translation patch.

If I remember correctly the game was about the main character's father going missing and her taking the super advanced jet space fighter Mk. XIII and winning the space war single handedly.

[dillzy1986]

DO ANOTHER SEAMAN REVIEW

[kagon01]

Review Tyrian

[SusakeKes]

gley lancer, super star soldier, soldier blade, final soldier,blazing lasers, dead moon,super earth defense force , gradius 1-3-rebirth , r-type 1-3 , musha, gates of thunder, winds of thunder.... well atleast the golden age of the shmup genre still exists on the Wiis VC :D

[ridge084]

This reminds me of Marchen Adventure Cotton 100%.

[Progearspec]

Haaa mark fansub gley lancer ! Though GL can be pricey to import for the genesis at least sega was good enough to give it vc release.

[dare12288]

I have a sudden craving for a fish sandwich for some reason...

[aquapendulum]

@dkc4475 Was that a defense toward PC? I thought it was plain fact.

[Xero2021]

I don't get it. Why would you call this game easy? I mean... you had it on easy... and had the weapon configuration set to the "search"...

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

it should be called GAY lancer

[Sabocalypse]

wasnt this also on the pc engine/turbogrfx?

[Colinschannel]

@TyrellClay

I'd look it up to see if he already did, bro. He's got reviews going back before 2000....

[daly1236]

This reminds me of R-Type

[amlegionpiper]

shit...now I wanna fish sammich

[amlegionpiper]

shit...now I wanna fish sammich.

[TheSaintOfPain]

@gundrag000

If you could use the proper grammar and spelling skills that a 2-year-old with Down's could easily learn, then I might be able to understand what the hell you just typed there.

[THEMOVIES001]

That game has the greatest storyline OF ALL TIME!

[rodrigoYK]

The Flamethrower in Space!!!!!

[PivotB3stZ]

0:27 looks like it says "shit:

lololol

[RyanKenny59]

hahaha is that really the English Translation?

[DarkLordeee]

Is that a lightsaber?! lol

[SarahKreuz78]

Bahaha, I was really confused about the subtitles. Took some Time `til I realised that it`s a Joke. XD

[Prezsama]

ANIMEish games RULE XD XD XD XD

[Scouter9001]

merry christmas and the lowest price on ebay is $110

[SNESosT]

over sized eyes FTW

[L1LTERRA]

is anyone else still trying to figure out if he added in the english subtitles or if they are real

[L1LTERRA]

i like totally thaught that this game was called gaylancer like ever since i heard of it

[antdude]

You should do reviews for the original R-Type, Air Busters/Aero Blasters, etc. :)

[vroom0voom]

Review Neogeo Heroes on the PSP! I saw it can be downloaded from the PSN. Check it out mark.

[roningarrison]

:\ is tomba available for download? That's the only game I want since the physical game itself goes up like crazy on ebay.

[emokerby]

last



[shaurz]

It has a "light saber" weapon too.

[tyniehawk]

This game like. IS arrow flash. <3 Arrow Flash for Sega

[tyniehawk]

hillllarious. This is why subscribe <3

[comosera]

Can you review Shadow of the Beast? for genesis?

[LaenPvP]

Order up, it's time to die! (witty comment relevant to video that will get 27 thumbs up)

[achillesian]

fuckin gley

[Jorgie0101]

Damn, this game is between $120- $180 on Ebay!

[SpeedRacer98683]

NOBODY GETS BETWEEN ME AND A FISH FRY!

[BenAndJoshInc]

it must be good it has a flamethrower!!

[shadowtsunami]

mark you didn't mention if you can get through Gaiares

[Outshinedsg]

Lol at the subtitles =P.  Really good music in this game! One of the best on the Genesis!

[Rachman1337]

I went to a fish fry for dinner because of this video.

[kaliosmasteris]

fish fry rofl

[MrBacchus18]

Should I get this or Gates of Thunder? I want both but only have the wii points for one.

[clouds5]

@MrBacchus18 You should get M.U.S.H.A. ! There's like an 10 part review of it on CGR :D And its the best side scrolling shooter ever made in my opinion. Not too hard, not too easy, and soooooo much fun!

[MrBacchus18]

@clouds5 Yeah, I bought MUSHA a long time ago and it is as good as CGR says it was.

[progrocker69]

I want Mark to do the localization for a major Japanese RPG. And then I want to know how many people suffocate from laughing too hard from the hilarity of the dialogue!

[Dragonfury3000]

I like fish :D awesome review as always

[TrevHead10]

Glay Lancer is another great game with great music by Masaya who are one of my favorite 90s dev house, shame no one knows about them in the west

[chaggo21]

fish? were you thinkin bout darius twin mark?

[lctb51]

Mark, We all wish you a Merry Christmas (this is politically correct), and a Happy New Year 2011!!!

[lctb51]

classic game room has a facebook page

facebook(dotcom)/classicgamero­om

[rfratelli]

Many thx for reviewing this one, never heard of it ! i always found shumps too hard for me, but not this one ! i managed to get in 5th level in less than 30min playing. Thanks again

[vlad48329reborn]

god damn. why do they have to respell "Grey" to the way the japanese pronounce it? that shit just angers me.

[MagFlare]

@vlad48329reborn Translation error. In the same way, Konami's Gradius series really ought to be spelled "Gladius," like the Roman sword.

[SarahKreuz78]

@MagFlare isn`t that British? "grey" ? all dictionarys are are giving you an "okay", if you type grey instead of gray.

[AsianRice1997]

Man at 2:25 its contra all over again 

[19822andy]

He should review Universal Soldier for the Megadrive. What a pile of puke that game is!!

[ViewtifulJason]

Why do you keep stretching the video on Wii/GameCube games? If you're on a 16:9 screen, 4:3 games won't squish down to the appropriate ratio automatically if you're on the Wii. you have to either change the ratio in the settings before playing, or change the actual TV's aspect ratio. It's pissing my inner A/V geek off.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

What about Granada on the Sega Genesis, someone needs to donate that game to the classic game room so we can eventually get a review for it! =)

[cyclo1224]

@StoneMonkWisdom was that a renovation game??? love those guys if it is i gotta get that game

[StoneMonkWisdom]

@cyclo1224 Yes, Renovation / Wolf Team. In my book, it was a classic. I was lucky enough to play it as a kid years ago. I bet there are videos of it on youtube.

[dantheman23312]

@StoneMonkWisdom Unfortunately, I contacted CGR to ask if i could donate games to them. They said they are not allowing people to donate games and that they said to contact us again in 2011 to see if they changed their mind.

Good piece of info to know if you were planning on donating.

[19822andy]

@NintegaRadio Never had a problem with Streets of Rage 3 or Golden Axe 3. I must have been lucky!! Never tried Alien Soldier though. I wouldn't go near a Konami game after I found out about the lock out chips. It's kinda stupid really because all you had to do to run JAP games on a PAL console was cut the "corners" off the mega-drive cartridge slot. I thought I was the king when I got my Japanese Megadrive. No one else had one. Those were the days!! I felt like a loser when I owned a Jaguar tho!

[ryoga316]

OMG! I can't believe they have it for the Wii! Gley Lancer is among my most loved Japanese shooters!

[appleman1324]

so far 0 people are gonna get killed, just because these are the best reviews ever, unlike fuckin ign XD

[MrPoppadopolisify]

4:42 is that a flying dildo?

[Kingofprinces85]

@dkc4475 Sorry but the best console gets the best games (classic or otherwise). Makes sense to me.

[KennyRobinson74]

processing at 1% fps lol

[shalpp]

make a review on gradius II next :D

[Engirish101]

well if it looks like shit it must be for the wii LOL

[Kingofprinces85]

@Engirish101 true dat, but If it plays like shit it must be for XBOX 360.

[lctb51]

If the Wii is really powerful, I challenge Nintendo to port Gran Turismo 5 to it!!! Or if it cannot run, then Gran Turismo 4, if that cannot run, then Gran Turismo 3!! If not, Gran Turismo 2, if even if that cannot run, GT1!! Finally if that has trouble running, Virtua Racing for the Sega 32X!!

[petergilmartin82]

@lctb51 The Wii is 128bit as far as I know or could be slightly more powerful, welcome anyone who can correct me on that one, sure it ain't as powerful as the 360 or PS3 but it would be there with ps2 and the first xbox so i'm sure GT4 could be ported but Sony would not like that too much as it is a staple of the Playstation

[Vyse195]

@petergilmartin82 all i know is the Wii is stronger that the original Xbox

[IcarusMoonsight]

All your fish fry are belong to us!

[KyleReidzilla]

Always outnumbered, never outgunned!

[vfIskullangel]

Not as hard as Gradius. Holy shit that game is impossible!

[cyanidebreathmintz]

@vfIskullangel this is one of the easier shmups on the system

[hypersonic64]

lol

NCS > Nintendo Capri Sun

[lctb51]

Mark should dress up like Santa for one of his reviews!!

[mparrapsp]

mark should review one of his reviews

[TriumphantLoser]

@mparrapsp Mark should review a video of himself reviewing something. And have that reviewed too.

[curiouscolt81]

nothing can't have talking faces in blocks like the moai heads in gradius.

[onniex]

Mark should review Santa!!!!

[molinskypuc]

So, I have a japanese Mega Drive and a component video adapter for RGB Scart cable (in other words, better than s-video), so all I have to do is get a copy on eBay. :) No Virtua Console, thanks.

[alfwok]

Its $135 bucks on ebay....thats crazy I looked up all my old games and they are worthless apparently everyone had Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, NBA Jam, and Aladdin

[TankT9]

Japanese stuff in Marks translation - best way to understand everything they got :P

[lctb51]

Nintendo designed the Wii inside of a bounce house!! Then designed the power components from looking at the Playstation 2!

[harmfulifconsumed]

@lctb51 are you retarded? even the gamecube was more powerful than the ps2. this is common knowledge, research and know what you're talking about before you act like a know-it-all ass on YouTube.

[aquapendulum]

@dkc4475 "whats up with the PC getting all the best classic games?"

Fixed.

[rickclawson6969]

As a white guy from Canada, i believe your translations to be 100% accurate!

[lctb51]

@ShadowzGamer The Processor is only 729Mhz!! The PS3 is 3.2 Ghz

[videogames5196]

@ShadowzGamer asshole

[Kingofprinces85]

@ShadowzGamer jerk

[0M9H4X]

@ShadowzGamer:

dude, its a VC game.

and besides, the Wii doesnt have any power.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@ShadowzGamer lol typical moronic wii hating trolls

[Hazy992]

@ShadowzGamer actually you need an add-on to play this game as the wii cant handle it :P

[ChaosZack08]

@ShadowzGamer Only the Wii can run this game because it has F-Zero >_>

[kreeddem]

@ShadowzGamer all 512 of the. colours

[lctb51]

Mark should review a christmas tree!!

[genesisSOC]

Dang now I want some fried fish in space

[ApplausableGuy]

your japanese translations are very accurate!

[ApplausableGuy]

we deserve a beer drinking special CGR episode!

[fastyf1]

its ...king japenees

[gp75motorsports]

@fastyf1 You mean "It's...King Japanese"?

[lctb51]

Mark should do Sega Saturn Vs Playstation 1!!! But instead of the Sega Saturn winning, the PS1 would win this time. Playstation 1 had technically much better graphics, and more games.

[sentey1]

my belly is full of fried fish , yum !

[57Rye]

anyone know how much this is on vc?

[TheCuster58]

I've known about this game for a long time and have also know that Mark loves this genre, so I've just been waiting for this review. And now it is here! Awesome!

[Kingofprinces85]

When i first played this game i thought "this game is pretty damn hard". Then after i played Gradius and R-Type and realized that this is actually pretty easy game for a space ship shooter.

[Kingofprinces85]

That girl with pink Hair looks EXACTLY like Amy Rose, Sonic the Hedgehog's girlfriend, in human form. I am not kidding, Shes the spitting image of Amy.

[Croxyndul]

this game looks pretty good. wow
