Good video, but your tolerance for Japanese weirdness is too low. This and "Momoko 120%" are normal compared to the likes of "Katamari Damacy" and "Parodius."; When playing games like those, the question isn't "Why?" the question is "Why not?" No offense, but you seem to know NOTHING about Japanese culture and humor.

BTW, the private eye turning into a elephant is a reference to the movie "Elephant Man"

[WeirdVideoGames]

@Dracomut It's true Momoko 120% isn't as strange, but I personally think Monster Party is far weirder than Katamari and Parodius.

It's also true I don't know a huge amount about Japanese culture (although saying I know NOTHING is pretty absurd) but I kind of look at these games from the perspective of a confused Westerner. Considering this game was released in North America and not Japan and was geared towards American audiences I think that's a fair perspective.

Love your vids. The original artwork is a nice touch. Do you draw them? If you need help with artwork I volunteer. Keep em coming!

[WeirdVideoGames]

@chriswrightmusic I only did the bad drawings (the wacky Japanese game developers, which are kind of a recurring gag). The rest were drawn by Ian at Vainglory dot CA. I highly recommend his awesome art style.

maybe soup is his last name

[WeirdVideoGames]

@thegreatgoodness Hahaha!

[hippiechik95]

The "private eye" is a reference to The Elephant Man, I think. Which is still weird because I think that his story is more of a tragedy than a horror story.

What I find funny is how a game this Japanese didn't even get released there. Oh sure, it was intended for Japanese release, and there were even prototype, but as far as official releases go it was U.S. only.

....Man, you just turned 33 minutes f my life into pure awesomeness .___. I've gotta show this to the rest of the world...

[OldSchoolGameRoom]

[IMADRWILY]

the monster planet was all in mark's head

he has schizophrenia

[Martcraft2]

here is something, what should be mentioned

This game Planned to be a yery bloody and Gore game, what released in Japan and America and uses a lot of well known monster from movies.

but a the end, i got extreme censored, the japanese release was cancelled ( it exist japanise Beta for expensive prices ) and removed some monster because bandai dosn´t have the rights

Also it exist a group who tries to bring this US Game to his orginal Beta Form

@WeirdVideoGames Try cho aniki on super famicom =3

[Dracomut]

@heisanevilgenius Trust me, each game is weirder than the last!

But then that is a part of Katamari's charm, and it adds to the whimsical and simple gameplay. I highly recommend them, and I'm glad another one is being made.

A word of warning: the second game, "We Love Katamari", has some particularly frustrating levels mid-way through the game.

@heisanevilgenius And that's a great way to go about it. :3

I just personally disagreed with him~

[heisanevilgenius]

@spartan117ak Of course. Dracomut was just sharing his perspective. A lot of video makers out there are way too quick to jump down the throats of people who disagree with them. I welcome honest feedback.
