5:55 have you played mother 3? if you like the idea of that you'll definitely like flint who plays role as a i guess you could say "partial main character" for the beginning of the game
How come there aren't any games with a nerd as the main character doing wacky things, maybe something like the game Bully but wackier and not about normal school life. (Or is there?)
Um, Bob, huge fan and all, but it sort of makes me mad that you refer to Dr. Teeth as unusual. Dr. Teeth has golden teeth and golden tones. You are welcomed to his presence. If anybody's unusual, it's Zoot.
Yeah, your zombie-shooting farmer pig is cool, but I've been doing some seriously epic lawnmowing the past month or two with a mower I stole from the neighbour and setting my dog on him when he tries to get it back! Admittedly, that WAS a Commodore 64 game made by a crazy British guy (well, that explains why I liked it so much) But the point remains: who today would think of doing something as stupidly awesome as making a video game based around lawnmowing, right?
@DigitalGame18 Sorry, I should've said, who other than genetically enhanced test tube babies built to be batshit-insane-creative would today think to make a game about lawnmowing?
Bad Game; period! no range of weapons lousy humour, SIX STAGES ONLY, small health and the fact you always get hurt, and crappy power ups... want a cool retro shooting game? get Metal slug or something
from the sounds of this- you'd probably like T.A.G.A.P: The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins. dunno if its big in the US (it was made by a couple of finnish developers), but its a freeware game about penguins. not quite g'n'g- bit more metal slug if anything, but its fun :D
i really dig your vids, man, but you're dead wrong on this one!
the game just sucks! yeah it has a kinda retro flair,
if you consider underpowered weapons, restricted movement (no shooting while crouching? no 8way shooting? almost impossible to jumpwhip anything?) and unfair enemy placement "retro". "yay for game design flaws that bugged us 20 yrs ago on the NES, sooo glad they're back!" seriously, you're a moron if you like this game...
I'm sixteen, but my parents stayed about four or five years behind the times so they could by used games dirt cheap. As a result, I grew up on the SNES. My childhood consisted of Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Zelda: Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy IV, the best mario, the best metroid, the best Zelda, my favorite game ever, and the best Final Fantasy. God bless my parents.
@CronoManiac42 Somebody give yours parents a friggin' medal for giving their kid the best possible formative gaming years. (Though I'd disagree on Link to the Past being the best Zelda; I'm partial to Majora's Mask, but then that's my taste, and you have yours.)
i love going into the Wii section in my local HMV. the covers are just so creative and colourful. the ps3 section is just so dull. its black and brown mostly
I stopped playing old games when new ones came out...
But enough about that, this game sonds BRILLIANT! Like... Nobby Nobby Boy or Katamari Damaci brilliant... oh I remember those old games, why don't we see weird stuff like that anymore?
Seriously though, I'm buying this for my friend as soon as I can, he's a big castlevania fan, and it sounds worth it.
I'm only 15 but i understand completely where you're coming from on the whole "In the 90's this would be completely regular" i may not've grown up in that time but i have many games from back then (including Earthworm Jim) some of them my big brother and sister got, but most i've gotten in the past few years. How many 15 year olds do you know that would put games such as Act Raiser and Blaster Master in their favorite games lists? MAYBE 2% which is very sad.
You DO actually see stuff like this. Look at "Prinny : Can I Be The Hero?" A penguin working for a chick from hell using two daggers with a psycho look in his eyes starting off the "Who ate my cake?" story. How about the game (name escapes me) about the guy with a big hammer who works at a sushi shop. (their both for the PSP along with other crazy and imaginative games.
I was wondering if you got any feedback from the creators. Normally a game like theirs wouldn't be even reviewed by any mainstream game reviewers. Im okay if you dont want to respond. The likelihood that out of all the comments you get each day that you will stop at mine is unlikely.
I don't know about him, but even I (who's had very little feedback on my videos) sometimes just don't have enough time to get around to comments. I do my best to read them, but I tend not to reply to most of them. I think it's probably safe to say he's the same way, so don't take it too hard if he doesn't get back to you.
I remember seeing this at Target and actually being tempted to buy it. But if you want a really good DS game that has a bit of a 16-Bit feel. I'd definatly check out Henry Hatsworth. While a gun slinging zombie killing pig is hard to beat, I find that a Britishizem sprouting old gentle man who bets monsters to death with a cane and a mecha better. Also everything about the game is awesome and it's increadably original. Best part you can get it a Wal-Mart.
The thing is, Yahtzee says a lot of things contradictory about the stuff you talk about, and I hold both of you in high regard as intelligent people to get behind, if you know what I mean.
Also, it's hard to tell whether or not you two are being serious, your you're just saying stuff as a joke.
Sonic clone? Did you even play it? Jazz was a shooter and had nothing to do with "Speed" with the turtles and such it looks more like Mario, but it's not, it's WIN!!
"Jazz Jackrabbit was created by Cliff Bleszinski and Arjan Brussee, and inspired by classic console games such as Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, and especially the fast-paced Sonic the Hedgehog. The gameplay is a pastiche of Sonic the Hedgehog's."
And yes, I've played it since I was a kid and I know what it is like.
How can you not? Character is fast, the gameplay is more "run-through-level" than it is exploring it, jumps are high, levels are full of springs that launch your character high in the air and in the end there is a sign that changes when you shoot it. And there you are saying that it doesn't resemble Sonic? Even the bosses are basically what they were in sonic games. Now just accept the fact that Jazz is Sonic clone made very very well. You can find that statement from everywhere, not just wiki.
I just see 2 completely different games, one is a shooter, 1 is a jump-platformer. They may look a like, but that was because a lot looked a like back then... now too.. look at all the Gray Brown Shooters, or WW2 shooters.
its all about Nostalgia and how FPS rule the marketplace. FPS, if their not halo or call of duty are pointless. I've been playing Megaman 1987 NES version for the last week or so. that game, fun, simple, and challenging. I can play it for hours if i don't get pissed off.
Yes video gamers are getting old and they want Nostalgia. As well as, we need to hook new gamer, the new generation. So maybe shit will work for the best.
This review, and in fact the existence of this game, give me hope that perhaps things WILL turn out all right in the end after all. Ah, for the simple, joyous days of my gaming youth...
A disgrace? Does their very existence leave a bad taste in your mouth? Are you the fucking king of all things game? Seriously dude, stop being such a bitch, and accept the fact that there are a breed of gamer other than what you see fit as a gamer, i.e., someone who has played video games for many years, and someone who has no other hobbies to speak of. Get the fuck over it, and stop being such a narcissistic, snarky prick.
I remember back in the day when odd cover arts were... normal. Of course, those were back in the days were most of the games were good and weren't just like everything else out there. Nowadays, if your game's cover art doesn't have some super manly steroid usin man with a massive gun on the cover, your title gets completely over looked and the "hardcore" gamers of today who are in the sopt light call it gay, which has become an insult in todays world, and the everyone else ignores it too.
I bought this game because of this review, and I like it! I never would have given this one a chance if I hadn't seen this video. Thanks for spreading the word, moviebob!
Did you watch the opening? He says he cannot afford all consoles or games. I do not know if he has the 360 but I would assume not. And stop being a bitch.
AVGN is good but Yahtzee is crap. Why? Because James Rolfe puts things into context and enjoys games for what they are while Yahtzee is a bias, cynical, hate-filled git who treats his fans like shit and doesn't like any game that's 'casual' or 'mainstream' or 'unioriginal'. Because thanks to James I've realised something. If it's fun, WHO CARES!? We know how bad games can be so I take what I get regardless of controller, sequel, company, original IP or whatever. Play games for fun not for hate.
ive been trying to come up with the words for that point for ages, not that i hate yahtzee he is quite funny, but you are right people look far too much into games, games should be reviewed on their entertainment not a pretentious ideal of original ideas or "casual games" well done.
no im saying its pretentious to mark a game badly just because it is not original, nearly every good game formula has already been done so the chance of originality is very slight and if a game does something better the its predeccesors it is a good game regardless of originallity.
There in lies a major problem. Not everything has to be entirely original or break the mold of the genre they made but come on, I swear some of these developers aren't even trying.
To get what I mean, I defy anyone to go to their local Gamestop, take all the shooters released since Halo off the shelves and stack them up... I guarantee it would reach the ceiling. And looking around, you'd see some pretty barren shelves.
Than if you took out all the games wanting to be Halo, meaning similar story, interface, gameplay, I still think it would be sizable.
Before I shoot myself in the foot, I will say there was a similar plague in the 80s and 90s with an influx of side scrolling platformers and shooters thinking they could be the next Mario, Gradius, or Contra.
There was plenty of shovelware but something about most of those games had a more indomitable, creative charm about them as apposed to modern shooters
it's because of the return of the "realists" and "modernists", people who seek "realism" in a medium that has been a sidetracking component of pop culture that they think needed a little more "edge"and a cinematic atmosphere, along with simulating real-life events with modern graphical texture that the "modernists"wished for. On the other hand, maybe people just went a bit overboard.
Can make a suggestion for another 15 dollar gem that nobody knows about? Little red riding hoods zombie BBQ. With a title like that, you dont need to explain way it so cool. You just have to play it yourself to understand.
I bought this game a few weeks ago for 10 bucks, it's great, Bob's description is dead on. Without this review I never would have known about this game or given it a second glance.
lol i died in the inside of awe when i heard the backcover
when i asked a storeclerk about this game, he gave me a confused look and asked if i wanted guitar hero 4 instead. i told him that i wanted something fresh and nostalgic, and that game was the closest.
I like the review but was disappointed when you picked a DS game when you were talking about a unique game that was cheap I thought you were going to review an indie game for the longest time, because I would have shat bricks if he did Dwarf fortress, crayon physics, or any of the new text adventures; hell that niche doesn't have any competing reviewers, but I digress
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Blah blah blah. Whatever Nintendo fanboy. Go play your little kitty DS game that no one ever heard of and couldn't give a damn about. I'm off to play some real games.
We'd expect nothing less from someone with the name 't27duck'.
Try watching the full video next time. Or maybe check out episode 1 to see how he's not a 'Nintendo fanboy'. Or you can drink a nice glass of bleach and make everyone else happy.
Oh no... Bob is certainly a Nintendo fanboy. Sure he can articulate his thoughts well and bring in respective counter points to his own arguements. And I DO RESPECT THAT. But its not like he doesn't constantly refer to Shigeru Miyamoto as God. And he nothing less than celebrates the Wii's constant success over its HD gaming competitors. Now i'm not 100% on his total view but he does give off them impression that he is in favor of Nintendo over anything else.
So I didnt go out of my way to go buy this game, but I happened to see it at EB for 10 bucks and bought it. holy shit am i ever glad I did. I've been looking for a new DS for a while and this is perfect. Without this video I would have never even have known about it. Thanks moviebob
Thanks for the pointer. Might have to check it out.
Also, I personaly don't like AVGN that much. Sure, I watch his show every now and then, but given that most of the entertainment comes from unique words to combine with "shit" and "fuck", the humor does wear out pretty soon for me.
Sure, he's a good entertainer, but there's certainly room for better job.
Then again, I'm complaining about free entertainment, so take it as you wish :)
Can you please make a video about the evolution of gameplay in games. Because i feel like games in terms of gameplay. Haven't improved that much in the past 8 or 7 years. Maybe it's just me. But still it would be good to see how long it took to improve and how much has improved.Sorry about the spelling and grammar. Maybe i just haven't seen big improvement.
"The Angry Video Game Nerd." His stuff goes up on GameTrailers via ScrewAttack, and he has other material up on CineMassacre and youtube under "JamesNintendoNerd."
no i mean i see game's like that all the time in the DS section at gamestaion, game and virtal game, thay just dont catch my eye at all cos i see them ever were.
might get it if i had a DS but one thing you said really made me think "its a new ip" i wanna see an ip like that catch on that would be so cool... nintendo should create some new ips insteading of using only the old ones... it feels like this generation hasn't really produced anything new other than resistance and GOW etc...
Moviebob, this video has inspired my "secret" game of the half-month in my facebook group "I Play Games You've Never Heard Of" to be the one you talked about. Thank you! It's hard to keep finding mystery titles all the time. =P
This sounds like one of those "random idea" games that people come up with sometimes.
By that, I mean where you think something among the lines of "hey, what if someone made a game about a guitar-playing midget who had to save his best friend from the clutches of an evil coffee pot, fighting a variety of evil beverage minions along the way?"
It's nice to play a solid, offbeat, under-the-radar game every once in a while, isn't it?
I bought the game on your recommendation. So far, it's as good as you suggested. Since it's so similar to classic arcade games, I thought it would be fun to play it in classic arcade game style -- no saving or continuing. I think it enhances the experienc

AVGN is good but Yahtzee is crap. Why? Because James Rolfe puts things into context and enjoys games for what they are while Yahtzee is a bias, cynical, hate-filled git who treats his fans like shit and doesn't like any game that's 'casual' or 'mainstream' or 'unioriginal'. Because thanks to James I've realised something. If it's fun, WHO CARES!? We know how bad games can be so I take what I get regardless of controller, sequel, company, original IP or whatever. Play games for fun not for hate.
E123Ultima 2 years ago
ive been trying to come up with the words for that point for ages, not that i hate yahtzee he is quite funny, but you are right people look far too much into games, games should be reviewed on their entertainment not a pretentious ideal of original ideas or "casual games" well done.

'pretentious ideal of original ideas'
Are you saying its pretentious to try and be original?
RagingRapist 2 years ago
no im saying its pretentious to mark a game badly just because it is not original, nearly every good game formula has already been done so the chance of originality is very slight and if a game does something better the its predeccesors it is a good game regardless of originallity.
8TomBomb8 2 years ago
There in lies a major problem. Not everything has to be entirely original or break the mold of the genre they made but come on, I swear some of these developers aren't even trying.
To get what I mean, I defy anyone to go to their local Gamestop, take all the shooters released since Halo off the shelves and stack them up... I guarantee it would reach the ceiling. And looking around, you'd see some pretty barren shelves.
HyperSonicSquall 2 years ago
Than if you took out all the games wanting to be Halo, meaning similar story, interface, gameplay, I still think it would be sizable.
Before I shoot myself in the foot, I will say there was a similar plague in the 80s and 90s with an influx of side scrolling platformers and shooters thinking they could be the next Mario, Gradius, or Contra.
There was plenty of shovelware but something about most of those games had a more indomitable, creative charm about them as apposed to modern shooters

it's because of the return of the "realists" and "modernists", people who seek "realism" in a medium that has been a sidetracking component of pop culture that they think needed a little more "edge"and a cinematic atmosphere, along with simulating real-life events with modern graphical texture that the "modernists"wished for. On the other hand, maybe people just went a bit overboard.

Can make a suggestion for another 15 dollar gem that nobody knows about? Little red riding hoods zombie BBQ. With a title like that, you dont need to explain way it so cool. You just have to play it yourself to understand.

I like the review but was disappointed when you picked a DS game when you were talking about a unique game that was cheap I thought you were going to review an indie game for the longest time, because I would have shat bricks if he did Dwarf fortress, crayon physics, or any of the new text adventures; hell that niche doesn't have any competing reviewers, but I digress

Oh no... Bob is certainly a Nintendo fanboy. Sure he can articulate his thoughts well and bring in respective counter points to his own arguements. And I DO RESPECT THAT. But its not like he doesn't constantly refer to Shigeru Miyamoto as God. And he nothing less than celebrates the Wii's constant success over its HD gaming competitors. Now i'm not 100% on his total view but he does give off them impression that he is in favor of Nintendo over anything else.

Thanks for the pointer. Might have to check it out.
Also, I personaly don't like AVGN that much. Sure, I watch his show every now and then, but given that most of the entertainment comes from unique words to combine with "shit" and "fuck", the humor does wear out pretty soon for me.
Sure, he's a good entertainer, but there's certainly room for better job.
Then again, I'm complaining about free entertainment, so take it as you wish :)

Can you please make a video about the evolution of gameplay in games. Because i feel like games in terms of gameplay. Haven't improved that much in the past 8 or 7 years. Maybe it's just me. But still it would be good to see how long it took to improve and how much has improved.Sorry about the spelling and grammar. Maybe i just haven't seen big improvement.

gaming hasnt stopped being good its as good as ever. the difference nowadays is the explosion of popularity. and then theres the lovely internet.
Because of both games get hyped up. back in the good old days. Id randomly pick a game to buy/rent and try to enjoy it. simpluy put it.
I agree . we dont see aero the acrobat and classics anymore. or atleast theyre harder to find now cause space marines are in lately :P
but gaming and the potential is as good as ever

This sounds like one of those "random idea" games that people come up with sometimes.

It's nice to play a solid, offbeat, under-the-radar game every once in a while, isn't it?
I bought the game on your recommendation. So far, it's as good as you suggested. Since it's so similar to classic arcade games, I thought it would be fun to play it in classic arcade game style -- no saving or continuing. I think it enhances the experienc
