  • I almost died at the end of this video. By the end I had tears in my eyes because I was laughing so hard. :) <3

  • I think it's very nice of you to rethink and apologize. But also I think the hate mail is completely unnessasary. Everyone has their own opinions. Some agree more than disagree but that's beside the point. Wiiviewer, you and Kwing are my youtube idols. I freaking LOVE video games and it's cool to watch all of your reviews, lets plays, ect. So really when you get hate mail I wouldn't go back unless you were planning to already. If you didn't like it, well sucks for them. LOL! Love your vidoes man

  • this is old bro but don't sweat it. loved the game when i was a kid but hind site is 20/20 and your totally on point.

  • Ripoff??They were both made by nintendo!

  • i agree with your first review

  • @kjenkins87 I don't.

  • Hmm, actually, what makes it highly different from Zelda is that the action sequences take place within discrete cell movement rather than the free movement you get in Zelda. I still like the game, but I think this fundamental difference is what makes it inferior to Zelda.

  • @Gretgor666 Unlike Zelda, however, when Mike is facing one direction, and you turn him to go into another direction, it takes him half a second to actually start moving, and half a second really counts in this game since alot of the enemies move fast and can fly

  • I have this problem where if I hear someone with a really bad lisp, I have to punch him. I hope for your sake we never meet.

  • i have never played that game. and, to be honest, it does look like a Zelda clone. =/

  • Startropics, you don't suck, you are completely toralable.

    i lol'd

  • when the song went on i laghted so hard i almost fell LOL

  • a nintendo sword?

  • Looking back, a really good song to use would've been "Sorry" by Buckcherry.

  • @NickTerra1 I love that song!

  • "So,I would like to apologize to Startropics"

    *gay-ass song*

    Lol

  • Startropics: I love a happy ending.

    Sorry couldn't resist. :P

  • I didnt like this game for two reasons 1. It just didnt intrest me as well as zelda even tho I didnt play Zelda much. 2. I think that the diffuculty was unessecery they could have said there were secret walls and stuff so it added to the toughness.

  • It's nice that you gave the game another try. The game IS influenced by Zelda, but it's definitely not just like Zelda.

    The only true thing that is exactly like Zelda is the hearts, having 3 power ups with your main weapon, and the name entry screen.

    Zelda was a great game, and Startropics was made by it, they're both top down games, which is why they're so a like. It would be like saying every top down is a rip off of zelda, or RPGs are a rip off of the first RPG. They're the same genre.

  • This game was made BY nintendo.

  • Star tropics really needs a sequal to this exact game, not so much the 2nd..

    Color, Controls, and Story line is what makes a game a great hit. Imagine how great this game could be on the wii.

  • what was the song at the ending?

  • @kingvideogames Hoobastank - The Reasom

  • wow this video has more views thanthe original

  • If the gameplay footage is you, then yes, you only think it's too hard because you're terrible at it.

    StarTropics is pretty damn challenging, but you can't play it like an inept child and act like that counts against the game.

  • the ppl who live in canada in the GTA( genarel toronto area) did you ever got to canadas wonderland as a kid, and as your waiting in line 4 the dragon fire, you hear this song playing

  • lol i pissed my self laughing at the end, not cause of the song, just the lyrics, and imagining you saying it

  • 2:58 Wii sword lol

  • no yur right it sux

  • I LOVE THE SRRY HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHA

  • I love startropics

  • dude WORST GRAPHICS ON NES! im guessing you've never played,or seen gameplay of "super mario bros SPECIAL!"

  • Star Tropics 2 is so much funner and better :D

  • lol its not hard you just suck at it! lolz

  • I think this game looks great. and the graphics is not bad at ALL. now i know that you took back what you said about the graphics but still.

  • Just because a game is a clone of another doesn't make it good or bad. Star Tropics is a clone of Zelda and it's bad. Perfect Dark is a clone of Goldeneye and it's really good.

  • @Stoneth you probably never played star tropics. It was just as good as the first zelda (maybe even better). Zelda however did go on to become the greatest series of all time, so it established a huge fanbase that went back to play zelda. But you can't say its a clone just cause it uses the same elements (except for the bats...). Video games at that time were like that, and Zelda delivered well. Look at Star Tropics for what it is, rather than comparing it to Zelda.

  • "And I wanna say, 'Startropics, you don't suck. You're completely tolerable!'"

    Lolz, made my day. XD

  • the ending was good cause you really hurt me with that review and i still dont know if i can trust my self with your vids (jk the endung was hilariuos)

  • no it sucks

  • HAAAAHAAAAA <3 THE ENDING

  • 3:03 im sorry hahahaha

  • 2:59 the hell?

  • "a frequent response was 'this game isn't that hard....you just suck at it'" lmao

  • @awesomo400000 You don't need to censor the word "Suck", It's only suggestive if you make it.

  • @Ancel4 what the fuck are you talking about???

  • @awesomo400000 the end of the video

  • come on all NES games look like that

  • huh? Allot of games back in the day switched graphic styles, Zelda 2, Blaster Master, Guardian Legend, etc. It was a way to add variety. Also, the game is not hard, most of the video you showed of you getting ganked by the monkeys and the octopus boss reveal how little strategy you employ. The game may not have perfect controls, but they are more than adequate. Don't blame the game for being challenging, that's the point!

  • Just an example BTW, there is a snowman in a room to the left of the Octopus boss, you can use this to freeze him and then spam yoyo him to death fairly easily. If you would have spent just a little more time exploring you would have discovered this solution. Of course, you could just learn his pattern and time your jumps which also isn't hard, it just takes a little effort.

  • This game is exactly as hard AS Zelda 2.

  • wow thats hard

  • the WiiSword? that looks really useless... just as useless as the WiiSpeak.

  • @chocolate11pie Wow, I might be good for cosmetic reasons

  • @chocolate11pie WiiSpeak is not useless its only useless if you dont like the games that it supports

  • @Tortarra2 Well for one it barely works :I

  • a sword wii console decoration?

    what a fricking waste of money god

  • o.o um ok what with forgiving a little too wierd

  • whats the ending music?

  • @joseohcoolkid1 hoobastank - the reason

  • why do you people keep saying its a ripoff of zelda? WHO CARES! if its a TOTAL ripoff of a great game its gonna use the same mechanics controls and style. so stop being gay.

  • yeah, but this game sucks compared to zelda, because the enemies have extremely cheap attacks, making it WAY TOO FRUSTRATING! plus, the environments and graphics suck compared to zelda.

  • Zelda II actually have 2 differents types of graphics and it doesnt suck. xD theres nothing bad about changing the type of gameplay

  • Cheap knock off of zelda

  • LOL the ending!

  • 2:58 I should TOTALLY buy that! Wait, is it real?

  • hold, on wait! DO NOT buy this game. it's not bad, but it's a TOTAL RIPOFF off of Zelda. everybody who says that this isn't a Zelda clone is crazy. it's like saying that TMNT: Smash Up isn't a Smash Bros. clone (which it IS). it has 0 originality, and Zelda is WAY BETTER.

    if you have 500 Wii Points, spend it on The Legend of Zelda (the original on NES).

  • No, I meant the picture of the ninja sword and the wii remote accessory. No, I'm not even able to buy the VC games, I just watched this because the Wiiviewr makes great reviews. Hehe, buying the Wii sword would be awesome.

  • no way, it's completely useless. there aren't any games that you can use it with. wii sports resort has a sword game, but that game uses MotionPlus, and the ninja sword accessory doesn't allow MotionPlus. so whatever you do, DON'T BUY IT!

  • The game was made by nintendo, so they are gonna make the game built around the concept of zelda. Also here's an example of the the same situation: Rare made both goldeneye and perfect dark, rare was so sucessful with goldeneye that they made perfect dark and clone of goldeneye, I mean, the MAPS in perfect dark are just skins of those found in goldeneye, and you know what? Both games kicked ass just like startropics and zelda.

  • @Flameclaw123 ...its is unfortunstly

  • why complain about a reveiw not everybody on the earth is going to like it -_-

  • you should revisit kirby's adventure

  • ...

  • he JUST revisited kirby's adventure

  • Wow that games sucks!

  • While I'm glad you decided to do the "fair" thing and touch on some things for the complainers (Some people take things too seriously) , I think I would completely agree with your review.

    I was born in 89 so I won't lie and say I'm well versed in games from that time and earlier but I'm lucky for having a nintendo fan for a mom.

    She completely agreed with your review as well in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the Zelda issue.

  • It is a Zelda clone, there is no doubt about that, the overall gameplay, and just look at the bottom of the screen at your life and items.

  • yeah, exactly, people just defend this game for no reason. i can easily see people defend The Conduit, since there aren't any shooters like it on Wii (even though cod 4 and 5 are better). but i don't see any reason to defend this game, when it's a total ripoff of Zelda, which is available on the same console, at the same price.

    Startropics is a complete ripoff of Zelda, the same way that TMNT: Smash Up is a complete ripoff of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. no originality, boring compared to original.

  • the wii reviewer owns you, shut up

  • He posts in his FAQ that he answers them from HIS viewpoint, and his take on the game. Not from someone elses.

    And, looks like he has been successful, as he has 11,893 subscribers. So I wouldn't criticise.

  • that game sucked anyways!!

    those guys who complained are just

    fan-boys!!

    Your right they're wrong

  • @teothedemon that game didn't suck. Don't get pissed at the game because you were too young or too stupid to play it when it came out.  Poser

  • Contra Hard? Dang!

  • While I don't feel propelled to share my take on any of the other complaints, I am urged to say that "the change in graphic styles" is actually a completely regular feature in many games, especially on the NES.

    It differentiates the levels (or more "in-depth" locations in a game) and the hub. If you have a bone to pick with this feature in this game, then you should also have one with games like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Zelda II (both somewhat different, but with the same general mechanic).

  • Seeing as Nintendo made both Zelda and StarTropics, they had every right to reuse enemies. And maybe they liked the registration screen from Zelda so decided to use it in StarTropics. The technology was there, so why not?

  • what's the picture of at 2:58?

  • Wii sword great for sonic and the black knights.

  • teh wiisword >:O

  • I have actually played this game. I agree with everything he said in the first review. He didn't have to revisit this game he was right the first time. This game sucked when he first reviewed it and it sucks now. This is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL ZELDA RIP-OFF. Except a thousand times lamer. The controls are stiff, the graphics are bad even for the 1990's, and the enemies use cheap attacks. Oh and FYI I beat the game so you can't say I suck.

  • You're right; the game is hard. But that's part of what makes it so great.

  • whoa, weird ending

  • 3:03 - 3:38 rofl. i bet 80% of the ppl who said "its not hard, you just suck!" prolly couldnt play 1/2 as well as him lol

  • this game is just a bad zelda 2 ripoff (well, zelda 2 was bad anyway, so I cant say much) with zelda 1 parts in it

  • hey remember you just suck at it if your good like me(zelda freak)its a very fun game

  • Lol thats funny sorry that ive hurt you your the best

  • sellout *Cough Cough*

  • POKEMON!

  • I always had a theory that this game was going to be Zelda 3, but Nintendo just went "Screw it, keep the engine and the enemies we've got so far, stick a blue shirt and swirly haircut on Link, make it island-themed, and give it to the programmer B-team. Let's just start over on Super Nintendo."

  • I remember when I first saw a few of your videos and well I realized I was a noob for saying what I did for you. I really didn't realize how cool you were! Awesome guy! You deserve a SUBSCRIBE! So think of the grace your giving this game coming back to you in this way! WOOTNESS HIGH FIVE DUDE!

  • why do they still make games with those kind of graphics?

  • aznericxD this game is from the 1990 plus graphics didn't really matter back them what was fun then is still probly fun now take contra 3 for exmaple that game is fun as hell or zelda a link to the past

    so ya

  • I loved this game when i was a kid ^^ i forgot what it was called though.....but im buying it right now.

  • xD I smelled sarcasm at the end

    L

    O

    L

  • wiiviewer you didn't need to make this video, the game just sucked and the fans couldn't take your opinion also I think it sucks a lot, it doesn't matter if the game was a classic or not it still sucked but thats my own opinion

  • your right chenu2000

  • 3:03 LOL! NIce creative touch, there

  • now THATS better

  • WOOT!?

    I did'nt know there was a Wii sword!?

  • that would be fun! intill u get into SSBB as link/Tlink and u stab your friend in the arm...twice so he cant se his controller and u win....hehehe

  • I would of go the wii zapper accessorie before I got that game

  • Good review...It's interesting that you can take criticism but fans of Startropics can't.

  • Complaining about Startropics´ difficulty is pretty rediculous. The game is fairly easy in the beginning, and gets gradually harder towards the end, that´s excactly what a game should do. It´s supposed to be really hard, only experts are meant to be able to beat it.

  • c'mon, this game sucks!

  • theres a nother game like that ninja turtles the overworld has really bad qaphics but the caves have good qaphics (the game was on nes)

  • lmao

  • i dont like this game and im a good gamer it just felt like throughout the whole game a was dragging my self forward

  • lol the end

  • this video really shows how your review style has changed

  • star tropics is awesome. it has the same idea as zelda, but can you blame them? the zelda formula obviously works. many other games that used the zelda format were clearly bad, but this one actually pulled it off.

    ya, its hard as fuck, but if you cant handle a hard game, then you shouldnt be playing an nes in the first place.

  • nes has couple easy games like kirby

  • it has it's share of easy games, but many of the games take skill and practice to complete. including a lot of the best ones.

  • its seems u made this vid just to shut up all those stupid fan boys that cant see that this game is a peice of crap

    i thought that the original was alot more accurate

  • this video is wied but still good.

  • People who are saying this game isn't good is retarded.

    Go watch HVGN's review of this game, he actually shows you why it's good.

    This game was actually made by Nintendo, not just licensed by them.

    Go fucking play it instead of listening to a bad review of it.

  • I like how everyone is saying it looks like pokemon.

    You mean pokemon looks like this, because this came before pokemon.

  • STARTROPICS IS A GOOD GAME

  • wow you guys are faggots, downthumbing me just cause I like this game. Fuck off and die.

  • "Completely tolerable" LOL!

  • it isnt hard...

  • startropics 2 is signifigantly better.

  • What song is that at the end?

  • Hoobastank - The Reason

  • Ya come on StarTropics is fucking great game.

    It's not a Zelda rip off, it's influenced but it's very different at the same time.

    If you want a rip off then go see Family Guy or Carlos Mencia or something.

  • whats thst s ripoff of.....

  • LAMO love the ending

  • I liked most of the final, StarTropics, you don't suck....

    XD

  • "Startropics, your tollirable"

  • lolz

  • you should of talked about how in the original you need to take a piece of paper from the manual and put it in water so you could find out this number so you could advance further into the game and how in the vc version if you go to the manual it lets you do it also

  • Personally, I got completely addicted to Startropics. Once you get the hang of how the badguys and puzzles work, you realize how great of a game it is.

    It provides the perfect amount of pace and challenge, and playing the game through is super-rewarding.

    $5 very well spent.

  • Good ending

  • 2:58 is that real?

  • ya i've seen them at target

  • lol thats funny i didnt think that actually was real :) ty

  • With all the money spent on making bad new games, someone should go to the trouble of making this into a remade-GOOD game!

  • Wiiviewr! I am glad you had the nerve to say your opinion!

  • *insert weegee face here*

  • i agree with wojogamer pokemon graphics are better..

  • Why did you do this video? Your first video was right. It still was SUPER funny though.

  • what? you said the controls weren't stiff, then said the game was hard because of stiff controls.

  • lol the graphics on the mainland look like pokemon

  • Wow. Nice song choice at the end. XD

  • Haha the song at the end was hilarious!!!

  • i think this is a hint to review twilight priness........ hint!

  • I don't think you should have to apologize wiiveiwr!

    While I don't have a real opinion on Startropics, reviews are suppose to give a critical view point.

    They don't like it they can s-... uhh watch somebody else...

  • i like the part where you say ''No I'm right.''

  • that was really funny i really like the end with the song

  • why don't you revisit wiiplay?

  • But you didn't say if it was still not worth a download

  • Why does everyone love Zelda so much? The original is the only game in the series that is decent, and even that one is flawed in many ways.

  • That's just your own opinion. Most people would rag on you for saying something like that, do to the popularity of ocarina of time & twilight princess. As a matter of fact, did you even beat the other games? Because you can't judge based entirely on biased portions of a game.

  • Wow! An intelligent response from a Zelda fan! Most of the time it's just "OMG you suck! Lol." While I haven't beaten any Zelda game (I suck at gaming) I've played many of them for hours and hours, and I know enough about them to have a full opinion on them.

  • Have you ever played twilight princess? It's a really good zelda game. It's also a LOT easier than ocarina of time or majora's mask.

  • Not Twilight Princess, but most reviews of that game say that it's pretty much like every other Zelda game out there, so I didn't even bother. The wolf thing seems gimicky to me as well.

  • I guess you just have poor taste. You should play the game before you say it sucks. You can't judge a game if you haven't played it.

  • I didn't say it sucks. I just said that I didn't want to play it. There's a difference.

  • Why does everyone love Zelda so much? The original is the only game in the series that is decent, and even that one is flawed in many ways.- That is a quote. You didn't say that you didn't want to play it. you actually made an inferrence that it sucked.

  • I said that the series sucked, not Twilight Princess. I've played enough Zelda to say that the series sucks, in my opinion. Since most reviews state that Twilight Princess is similar to most Zelda games, I passed it by because I don't like any other game in the series, minus the original. Another example: I don't like High School Musical. I've seen the first one, and pieces of the second. I hated every second of both that I've seen, so I passed by on 3, because most say it's similar to 1+2.

  • I was one of those people who didn't like Zelda:TP. I thought it was too dark and overall not that fun to play. I truly loved Wind Waker...I think that was the best zelda game in a LONG time.

  • Heh, I liked that one too. I also LOVE Phantom Hourglass. Truly groundbreaking. How can you not like twilight princess? It's boring when all you have to do is save the princess all the time :). I like to go fishing in TP because of the fun of it. Then I go bulblin bashing.

  • sweet, i liked Wind Waker more than any of the other Zeldas and its nice to see it get some respect. i just dont get the hate it receives.

  • The graphical style. I like WW but it gets alot of points off for the stupid Graphical style. Twilight Princess is just as awesome but doesn't have that stupid Cartoony Style so it gets my second best Zelda game spot. Wind Waker is my fifth favorite(after the original and link to the Past(OoT is number one for me)

  • Did you like Ocarina of Time?

  • I beat Ocarina of Time and it is a very good game!

  • i played it for such a long time and i thought im close to be done but one of my friends told me i didnt even get half way through the game. i just beat Dodongo Cavern, one with all the magma and the boss rolls around and ur suppose to throw bomb in his mouth.
