i was thinking of getting the port despite owning all etrian odyssey games but heroes of lagaard and the second mystery dungeon, but when i found out the alchemist's poison passive wasnt fixed and still doesnt increase poison damage i was like nah xD then i keep playing the originals xD

I really wish the remasters had the level of customization that Nexus had. It really helped the game lean even more into its Wizardry roots and made Roleplaying much better doing whole themes for your teams. I can still replace and edit sprites on PC but it's not the same without those goofy over the top voices

I watched this video while playing EO2 me and my older brother got EO1 on DS I think when it came out, not knowing what was it about. I was a little child, and I would only watch him play, but the same was so damn hard we would always get stuck or not understand optimal gameplay. Eventually I would play too until I was the only one playing it. It had been more than a decade since we first stepped into the emerald grove until I defeated Primevil. Somehow in the meantime my brother got EO2 for DS, we played until the 8F, but I never touched it for some years still. Recently I restarted it from scratch and having all that joy again. I'll get EO3 for steam later, and I hope they remaster the other games for PC too, because finding DS games is becoming increasingly difficult. What is most captivating for me in this series is the magical aura to the labyrinths - the amazing music and the scenerie, the idea of such beautiful unscathed biomes where deadly demons await, and you're braving towards where no one has never been. Every time there's a gameover it's like another guild before you that died there. It connects me to the forest and nature in almost a spiritual way.

Ya porfavor saquen el threeie

fucking based review. im 13 hours into my first eo experience, eo3. this is it, this is peak gaming.

It's not 1st party so it will go on sale. It's on sale now. Just picked it up for $47. Glad I waited. I have them on 3ds too bought them on Release for my old ds I no longer have,. I could play on 3ds but I fear it won't last the more I use that so if they come elsewhere I grab them.

I just want more EO content! But do what you want, you're fun to listen to >W<

4:08 song please

Banger video my dude! Looking forward to more commentary videos from you.

im the biggest EO fan i know and i will buy it but man... that retail price is steep...

Great video dude. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts after playing the HD collection.

1:35 😂 👍 well done

Never played Etrian odyssey, but I love ATLUS, so preordered the game just for the preinstall option, to start playing it the moment it launches))

Just a few more days...

almost time just 4 more days hope you have fun bud

this is both a great review and analysis of what we know while also being a passionate loveletter to a beloved franchise. great video!

I like that in this game YOU are just the guy making the map, and if you get all KO you just die because you are all harmless

Those orange balls are called FOEs. Deliberately overpowered enemies who form the crux of the games puzzles, where you have to find a way to slip past, lest you be crushed to a pulp.

One thing that made me figure (of course) when it came to how to make it dual screen when only having a single screen, is the limited resolution and screen size, of the DS systems. But when the Switch has so much more room, it works so well. However, the Switch uses touch for any game that could really use it. There are a number of card games (including stuff in that 51 games collection) All the games in the Voice of Cards series. Darkest Dungeon, if you want to use that functionality. Not nearly an exhaustive list. So there’s more than one would think. It works really well and makes a comfortable way to play it in bed.

They better be making Wacom drawing tablets compatible with the Steam version😂 All jokes aside, I’m so happy that this franchise is getting a second life and more recognition. Honestly, it’s one of the best franchises I’ve discovered during my time with the (3)DS family.

Im glad etrian odyssey 1-3 is coming to the switch, i pussy out on the 3ds trilogy and live to regret it. So this will be my point of entry and happy to see HD enemy sprites

I’m so stoked to get the games on steam, I’ll be able to stream it with friends, Demi-fiend, I won’t have to sacrifice my first born to play Etrian 3, and all the portraits are updated so I can see all that beautiful 2d artwork

Being able to play EO 1, 2, and 3 on my computer without needing to fight with buggy emulators that run like ass and can never display the font properly? Sign me the hell up. Also, if anyone is wondering, most of the music in this video was from Etrian Odyssey 4 (which has one of the BEST OSTs in the entire series), but the music in EVERY EO game is *stellar*. Is the bundle overpriced? Ab-so-lute-ly. Will I happily pay it to support Atlus and EO in general? Also absolutely. These games are some of my favorite games of all time. Period. They could charge $300 for this bundle and I'd still buy it. And not just because I don't have real, physical copies of EO and EO2 - I may be an EO nut, but I'm not paying some asshole on e-bay or re-seller on Amazon that kind of money with none of it going back to the EO devs, just to have an original DS cartridge collecting dust on my "DS display" bookcase. I'm lucky enough to have physical cartridges for EO3, 4, Untold 1, Untold 2, 5, and Nexus - if I "only" have 1 and 2 digitally, that's good enough for me. As for the new "Atlus crossover" portraits... they're pretty lame (and stupidly overpriced, like the bundle itself), and pretty immersion breaking... but you get them "for free" if you pre-order, so I guess I'll have them available if I'm ever feeling goofy when making characters. Maybe I'll use the Joker one at some point? That one's okay, the rest I really couldn't care less about. Lastly, if anyone out there is reading this comment (and watching this video), and is a fan of JRPGs (or dungeon crawlers in particular) and you haven't played Etrian Odyssey yet, you need to rectify that. You are missing out, full stop. It really is like playing a classic Dungeons and Dragons adventure, just with a bunch of anime avatars. The combat is the best in the business, the mapping is super immersive, the freedom in party creation (and building) makes for near-limitless re-playability, and the game NEVER lets you get complacent or grind mindlessly by mashing "attack" until you win - every fight is a struggle, every reward is earned, every new piece of gear is near-vital to your continued success. Toss in amazing soundtracks and clever dungeon layouts, and you have one hell of an addictive RPG series.

I'm also probably going to get it on Steam too. Map drawing with the mouse is probably the best way to go about things without having a DS. Not everyone has one, but I also think this could potentially be a perfect Steam Deck game. You can use the touch screen just like the Switch, but using the touchpads to move the mouse around sounds like it may be even more intuitive than touching the one screen we have now I'm not going to pretend I'm the biggest EO fan (I bought 4 and 5, never got far in either. Also bought Etrian Mystery Dungeon and proceeded to not play that much lol), but I love your enthusiasm, subbed! I am revisiting EO4 just to say I beat one of the games (that isn't Persona Q lmao) before getting the collection and through guides/feeding off the hype of fans, I'm really getting into it! Excellent video!

No physical for switch is a bummer though

I agreed with the entire video--up to the point where you gush about the map making and stated how you were one of the MANY that kept questioning / worrying over the map making part of the gameplay. Which in my honest opinion, as one of this series' biggest fans, I could care less if they took it out. It's a nice and fun little gimmick but at the end of the day, this is one of the most solid JRPG's ever, with a neat map making gimmick tacked on top. Not the other way around. What makes Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey is not the map making. It's everything all at once. The art style, the music, the combat, the skill trees, the gameplay loop. IDK but the way they ended up doing the map making in the collection is the same way I and many others have been saying they'd do it for a while now. The DRPG genre has existed before and after EO and so it most certainly works on consoles without 2 screens! Good video otherwise, we ate well that day. Already pre-ordered and can't wait to experience the first 2 games since I started with 3 but didn't go back for 1 and 2.

"Maybe a Rareware Character?" Literally 5 seconds later****

Can’t believe the salt has been going on for over two years 💔

Hey, you’re still alive.

Bro. Cry. It feels so good to see people still care about them

This reaction just warms my heart 😊

My thoughts exactly.

Anyone else just like to go back and watch these for no reason?

I like to think the day Banjo Kazooie got release, he used him to whoop Duck Hunt 100x for that BullShittery in the trailer

I wanted to get B&K back when I was a kid, as I had already played DKR 64 and loved Banjo as a character. I never got the chance to play it; but the moment both Diddy and Banjo appeared together on the screen I legit felt literally like kid again, I was at my job so I had to bite my tongue to avoid crying.

It’s really funny how at the beginning of the video you were saying how Persona 5 and Dragon Quest 11 made sense to get into Smash and then shortly after you said that you said “maybe next we could get someone from the west, I don’t know maybe a RAREWARE character?” And as soon as you said that the Banjo-Kazooie reveal started. Your reaction was also awesome! As a Banjo-Kazooie fan myself I cried while watching the reveal too (and too which even to this day my brother and sister still make fun of me for it) hands down you had the best reaction to Banjo & Kazooie joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 👍

this made me so happy

Good lord, this is making me cry all over again. Don't be embarrassed, I was the exact same way! We all were!

this will be me if crash gets in smash

do you think sakurai watches these reactions with a big ol smile on his face?

this video was a good video

Exactly my reaction

This was me when I saw banjo... Also with sans... Yes I cried to a Mii costume it's embarrassing

I was in shock, disbelief, and overjoyed. All at the same time. A dream come true, and years of being ridiculed as a Banjo fan, always getting told that the duo would never come to Smash, the timing seemed absolutely perfect. The ULTIMATE Super Smash Bros. game no less. As well perhaps the last one Sakurai wants to work on before retiring, or whatever plans he has outside of Smash, Kirby, Kid Icarus, etc. This was a dream come true, and an experience I will not soon forget. #BanjoAndKazooieMadeTheCut

Somewhere out there in another universe they got Steve from Minecraft...let us join in thanks and prayer that that did not happen to us...(no seriously tho I would’ve been indescribably mad if they did this for Steve instead) Welp..... Least we got Banjo first.
