The problem I have with playing as Axl is he can't move and shoot at the same time, like in X7. If it was with certain weapons, like in X7, I wouldn't be complaining, i.e., the G-Launcher, the Plasma Gun, and the Spiral Magnum. But it's with his entire arsenal.

What are your thoughts on MMX8?

*dramatic inhale* WHAT AM I FIGHTING EIGHT!?

I actually liked engage more than 3 houses but I will admit I like playing the battles more than the character interactions so I didn’t like my time at the monastery

The quiet photosynthesis explanation is dumb because mgs 3 the end is the same but he’s an old man so he has clothes on

I loved these games so much. Peak SNES!

ASCII is pronounced "Ass Key".

Your intro is fire.

What about the horn! We need to know about the horn!

I just finished this with the undub patch after thirty minutes of the HD collection. Fantastic game, but I tapped out and went back to the weeb I am.

I LOVE Mega Man X videos!! More people SHOULD be educated on why X was an important part of gaming history!!!

Just discovered this channel on a 5 hour drive for work, knocked out the grandia retrospective and a majority of this, keep it up man this longform stuff is great, and the effort you put into is noticed and definitely sets you apart from other similar content creators.

0:16 To be fair that was added later. If you have the 2004/2006 Limited Edition releases they contain the original cut on the 2nd disc.

I had Super Star Wars as a kid. It was brutally difficult. I never beat it.

I love that stwamboat painting, did you do that?

I will be buying Grandia 3 on the PS3 PSN this week. I did not get enraptured by it in the day, but need to give it another go. 20 years later. Anybody else play Xtreme? IDC how desirable it is my friends and I all thought it was terrible.

These are some of the best Star Wars games out there. Just because they are difficult doesn't make them bad.

I've long since stopped playing Tales games _for the story_ , considering every single time they just devolve into anime "kill god with the power of Friendship" slop and forget about any cool themes or ideas they came up with on the way there. I play them for the *gameplay* and the *characters* instead. I don't expect good *story* writing: I expect good *character* writing, which they weirdly manage to completely _nail_ every single time? Even Tales of Graces, which has _by far the worst story_ (even by Tales standards which are abysmally low), even THAT game manages to have an engaging cast of characters because of all the super fun character interaction they have along the way, facilitated even more by all the post-battle exchanges and the skit system, both things I wish more RPG series had. So for me it's really a mixture of super fun action gameplay, WITH CO-OP, something basically no other series out there bothers with, and super fun casts that add to the gameplay as you're controlling said casts on their adventure. I don't skip the stories or anything, I just don't expect anything good from them, and it saves me the disappointment of that part of the games at this point.

I loved these games back in the day. Still play em occasionally cause I like the pain and suffering that comes with them .

My most potent memories of each game……… Super Star Wars - Lava Beast Jawenko: the floor is lava, one touch instant death Super Empire - clingy wampas that push you into spikes & instant death (but space bacon!!) Super RotJ - never could beat the exploding Death Star even with Invincibility

You missed out a rather obscure but interesting one, which is FE4 was originally supposed to have 3 parts instead of 2.

Very grateful for this video and channel

First one i ever played was when i rented RoJ. Could not pass the first level with the sand speeder! I tried again in a couple weeks and ended up buying it. I was able to beat it but it took a couple weeks. I ended up buying New Hope and Empire used and worked my way through those as well. Really fun games once you get the hang of them. Gotta keep up with the fast pace.

You didn't research wookie age before all this shit??

You forgot that Miller invented McDonalds in mgsv which ties into " eyes on kazuhira"

I hope with the remake, bosses are not as easy to cheese. I know it holds some charm, but an unforgivablely difficult chance to fight the end, would be amazing.

😂😂😂

3:10 The internet says Mark Hamil is either 5'7" or 5'9"

too many memes , over edited.

and we finally know who voiced eva now! the VA of Ariel in the disney movies

I played all these games, but really put a lot of time in Super Empire Strikes Back. They put some cool things into that one, and some not so much. So since you wear Luke's X-wing outfit the entire time, even with Star Wars Battlefront II, I have never seen Luke wearing his "Bespin fatigues" in a game. BTW, the "bug creatures" are 4-Lom the bounty hunter.

at the time they were the best sw games for me

I wish these legendary games came out for the switch. I miss my super Nintendo

I feel like these games are the equivalent of Hollywood retellings of historical events with many creative liberties, but within the SW universe. Kinda like a tall tale for the kids

Love these games. Shame the New Hope one never had passwords though. I was never able to finish that one.

The boss at 12:01 looks like what I remember seeing as the original concept art for the Rancor.

I've never heard anyone pronounce AT-AT or AT-ST as the individual letters...

It sold 1.3 million copies in 3 months. Some people liked it

32 seconds in is a Force kick! DUH!

Great review, but I don't understand why you think that Grandia is obscure or forgotten? Yes it is not FF7 but it is well know in the scene of JRPG fans, it even spawned multiple sequels. You can compare it more with Suikoden than FF7 because that was definitely the outlier.

Just completed this game today. It is indeed a classic. One of my top favorite Tales games.

Bet you didn't know that in snake versus monkey you play as Solid Snake. They obviously just use naked snakes model

Only the Super Star Wars games and Shadows of the Empire are canon. The movies and everything else are Expanded Universe.

The second episode of The Mandalorian where Mando tries to fight the Jawas while hanging from their sandcrawler was clearly inspired by the 3rd level from Super Star Wars.

Luke Skywalker ANH: " But why would Imperial Troops want to slaughter Jawas?" Well, to find out where the droids are Luke. The big question is, why would YOU want to slaughter Jawas in the ANH SNES game?

Luke drinking that green milk 🥛 was the best part for all episodes 7, 8, and 9!

I would like to see a Grandia 2 and 3 Retrospective next... Grandia 2 was my first JRPG... when I didn't even spoke english...And it's still my big JRPG love :D It was on a PC Game collection and funnily enough it was one of the last games I've tried... but I fall in love as soon as I started the game. It took me a lot time until I found ways to play Grandia 1 and 3, I loved both but 2 still got my first JRPG love bonus. +1 Sub + 1 Like :)

Secret. Magical. Nuts. Here's your like, sir.

Hes a real sick son of a bitch... Vader: "thats ma boy!"
