Fantavision - Stage 1: Night of the South Island

[ceeK2]

I'm creating a mash up of this and Fruit Ninja for iOS. Check out development by following my channel :)

[nightsaturn]

in 2000, not being really introduced to DVD video quality, seeing this little girl and her family on my TV with the PS2 I rented 3 days after its release, it was quite something. I still own that game and I love it! They should release an HD PSN version with the same music, retro feeling, we love that!

[dankuro97]

I totally love this game, so simple and so fun.

Have you played futari no fantavision? no? you should.

[Saestrol]

@dankuro97 I've never even heard of that one. Is it some alternate version of this game or something else?

[dankuro97]

@Saestrol Is he sequel only released in japan. It has new cutscenes, remixed music, better graphics, new levels and a new VS mode with new stages and music. The VS com mode is awesome and very hard.

[Saestrol]

@dankuro97 Very interesting. I should look this up then.

[1ATARU1]

My first PS2 games: War of the Monsters, Fantavision, Crush hour, Tekken, and later on, Twisted Metal: Black

[siperdellyeer]

i dont i think i think so i dont think so, so i think that this is thinking so i thought i would thinking of thinking so... what the f*ck am i saying

[AmpliFreQ3107]

Man this game brings back memories. My friend imported this game along with a PS2 from Japan before the PS2 was released here in the states and I thought this + Ridge Racer 5 truly showed the full power of the PS2. I cried when I got my own lol

BTW, just bought this SEALED brand new on eBay for $9. Anyone who wants the last sealed copy a seller by the name of "p2p_games" has it.

[RosarioKokoa]

I loved this game *forever alone*

[AtariMan76]

When I first saw this, I thought it was something that referenced the vg consoles from the late 70's/Early 80's that had the word "vision" in them

[MapleBedas]

this game was pretty cool, i rebought it after i got rid of the first one i had ;)

[Xinn2000]

The graphics in this game were like some of the best of its generation. And its a launch title for the ps2.

[Remeday]

This game kills the overrated Tetris. :)

[JohnMarineTube]

This was like... one of the very first PS2 games. I always wanted to know what this game was like, and so I'm glad I saw this video. Great job lighting up the night sky with fireworks in this video.

[genjutsugaara]

whenever i see hanabi aikai(fireworks) at here Yokohama,japan i think i need to play this game

[jzj1]

This truly was one of the most underrated games of the PS2. I still can't believe that people still judge a game by how it looks, it really hits a sore spot with some people. But, this was and still is one of my favorite games of all time, even if the game is hard a hell.

[Saestrol]

It is a masterpiece classic. So simple, and fun at the same time.

[XaySin2k]

@jzj1 Looks alone should have sold this game. How can any 4 or 5 year old not look at a demo of this game and not be fascinated? Or maybe an older person looking for a relaxing puzzler to pass the time? This is one of those games that can appeal to anyone looking for a fun, visually appealing, easy to learn puzzler.

[strykah92]

Believe it or not, this was actually the first game Sony themselves ever made for the PS2, (There's Ridge Racer V and Tekken Tag, but Sony's only involvement was publishing those titles)

there's just something about the aura of first generation PlayStation 2 games that no other console has ever been able to match, they almost scream at you ''welcome to the new millenium'' :) *snivel*

[qwertyqeys]

MASTER CHIEF!

Why would a game congratulate someone like that!?!? XD

[Saestrol]

Master Chain*

[qwertyqeys]

@Saestrol Ooooooohhhhhh... XP

[Downnola13]

I used to love this game haha! Thanks for uploading this. I played it with my buddy in like elementary school all the time. :D

[namezryan]

i just got this game for $3 brand new. it was the cheapest price. and for the thought that i like pyro's!

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

such an easy game and you suck ass

[Saestrol]

You speak as though you are quite adept with the game. Somehow, I highly doubt that.

[bizzybozzy1]

@SOLIDSNAKEXXX360 such hostility, it isnt that easy actually lol

[dantastic202]

fuck i remember this game. you know this game only started off as a test for sony to demonstrate the processing power of the PS2 when it first came out. the critical acclaim was so huge that sony decided to release it.

[mailliwenots]

@dantastic202 i wish they would make a fantavision HD for the PS3 that would kick ass.

[dantastic202]

@mailliwenots oh man, TOTALLY. I would buy a PS3 just for that. now they have Wipeout HD Fury, which looks sick too. how much are PS3s? I want one now.

[robloxman41]

its still good

[robloxman41]

well in my copy its a lady speaker

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

to rob

u either have the JP or UK version

[robloxman41]

wow how did you know?

[robloxman41]

i have UK version and yes, i come from UK

[Saestrol]

The US version is quite different to the JP/UK ones in terms of audio. The male (instead of female) commenter is one of them, so is the music.

The music for the US version never got a soundtrack release. I seriously think that that is a shame because it was actually well done.

[KangaPanda]

I hated this game... but I still want to play it.

[Saestrol]

Huh... I wonder why you dislike the game?

I mean, it seems simple enough, but perhaps it wasn't to your preferred tastes for an example?

[KangaPanda]

Kind of like Vib Ribbon, there simple games but theres always parts of the game which make me lose and get annoyed with it.

[jballen90]

my first game for PS2 nostalgia ^^

[CardinalGamers]

I'm am overdosed surprised this didn't get ported to the PSP....

[DarkJokerOfAmuro]

to Cardinal

oh dude same here....they could have remade this game and added a shitload of content O_o

[walllason]

[Dinoracha]

Well. This looks like one hell of a colourful trip. xD I understand how the game works and all (even if I never played it), but how exactly do you fail? If a flare falls off screen?

[Saestrol]

There is a Play Meter at the bottom left of the screen. Missing flares will cause it to decrease. If the gauge completely empties, its game over.

Exploding flares will fill it slightly. Hard mode makes the meter fall faster and fill slower.

[laharsama]

People talk shit about this game but I Thinks it was one of the best and most underrated from the last gen just because the stupid media.

Glad to see people who likes this game

Anyway, thanks for the videos.

[ShadowJacky]

I never did figure out how this game is played, but I did remember wanting to buy it.

[Saestrol]

It's really simple. The in-game tutorial really explains the system well.

You can explode flares that are at least 3 of the same colour. That's the basic part of this game.

[gambitking128]

no1 likes 2torials

(numerical acronyms ftw!)

[Ginteru]

But if you ignore them, you're bound to loose the game in 15 seconds

(Good grammar for the win!)

[gambitking128]

(getting thumbs down for my previous statement ftl!)

[myspaceforever]

that looks fun but complicated

[Saestrol]

It's not that complex, BUT maintaining a good chain is. It's the only way to score big.

There are tutorials in the game, REALLY thorough ones that explains how the flares and explosions function.

[jehutyshadow]

man i find the 2 player version to be lots of fun and gets pretty intense sometimes
