All 17 'Johnny Turbo's Arcade' Games on Nintendo Switch

[@JohnRiggs]

I don't think they're on sale anymore, but if anything put them in your wish list for next time. Here's the Switch link to all of them. www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide/#filter/:q=johnny%20turbo%27s%20arcade

[@EvaFull]

Heavy Burger has different games if you go the other direction. Absolutely love that game.

[@Stephen_Eee]

Hey Thanks John for all the vids, you give a good variety of recommendations(

[@martinaurik2189]

Like 👍🏻this game compilation a lot of old games are New to me.Gaming started around end Ps1 to Ps2 for me.

[@craigjuan5744]

Right now, as of the time of this message, all Johnny Turbo's Arcade games are on sale for $1.99 each. I bought six of them and plan to get some more. Some are just guilty pleasures like Bad Dudes. I always get a kick out of the catchphrase "I'M BAD!" after you beat a boss.

[@figment1988]

@@craigjuan5744 and until January 30th, 2021, the sale has returned. And even though most of these games are on my Data East mini arcade, i got them on the switch (mostly because the mini arcade is single player only)

[@cubansupreme]

I know that this is an old video but I regret to inform anyone currently watching this video that all of the Johnny Turbo games on the Nintendo Switch eShop are no longer available for purchase on there anymore. I don't know why this happen but I'm extremely glad that I bought the rest of the Johnny Turbo games I didn't have yet from a recent deep sale before they were all removed from the Switch eShop not long after.

[@OperationChicago]

I just saw that, do you know if there is a way to buy Bad Dudes tha arcade game ?

[@robertdanker6193]

I just picked up Night Slashers it is pretty cool!! I appreciate you going through all these games so I can get a better idea of what they are!👍

[@JohnRiggs]

Some games are a neat throwback when I played them in the arcade growing up but I was surprised how much I liked a couple of them.

[@robertdanker6193]

@@JohnRiggs Definitely! It is cool to have them on the go with the Switch.

[@RetrobertAZ]

I did not realize these were on sale! I have to definitely keep an eye on some of these. Thanks!

[@ryananderson7492]

I love Heavy Burger! I picked it up on a sale sometime last year and it's a lot of fun.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Wizard's Fire is my favorite out of this batch. It's a fun enough game, and lots of characters means it's more replayable than a lot of the games here - but what really puts it over the top is the wonderful horrible wonderful voice acting in the cut scenes. Pure uncut 90s cheese at its cheesiest.

[@nrikhy2793]

Thanks for the info on the screen settings. Most earlier arcade games were designed for a 4:3 screen aspect hence a rotate screen option is really nice.

[@JetteroHeller83]

With the exception of that Super Real Darwin shooter, I have all of these games. These are good games and I would recommend them in everybody's switch collection. My personal favorites are Caveman Ninja, Joe and Mac Returns and Bad Dudes.

[@benkizer9509]

Caveman Ninja, the arcade version, was a much more challenging game, very similar to Cuphead with boss rushes. The SNES, the one I was familiar with called Joe and Mac, was more of a Mario like platformer.

[@43bigsteve]

Thumbs up for the Bruiser Brody reference!

[@JGKingCrusher]

What's cool is that these are always on sale for 3.99 each. I couldn't resist... I have them all!

[@juangsantos]

I did learn while playing "Super Burger Time" that if you are on top of the food, you can press I believe down and action and he will stomp the food down, as opposed to jumping. And yes you can make the chef stomp faster.

[@video-synth]

Your optimism is infectious!

[@themcfaceman]

great video John! You're the first youtuber I've seen cover them all. I only have a few of them: Express Raider, Sly Spy, and Heavy Barrel. They're not bad overall, especially Sly Spy

[@kdj29]

sometimes i would travel from Seattle to Yakima because a friend would play at the Sportsman. Back when I ate meat, they had the best pork chops. That Sportsman sign is super cool. I really liked that place. and that 50's diner too, we ate breakfast there.

[@Flashshadow]

Part of me kinda wants the Turbo Arcade to do a crossover fighting game. Imagine a Turbo vs SNK or a Turbo vs Konami and the like. 😆

[@SegaGenesisEvangelion]

Hey John, I walked by you at PRGE 2019 and said "You're the man, John Riggs" and you pounded my knucks and I kept walking. I do not regret that interaction at all, for you are - in fact - the man. Thanks for always keeping it real, keeping it light-hearted, and having fun with these vids!

[@JohnRiggs]

How can I be the man when YOU da man!

[@SegaGenesisEvangelion]

@@JohnRiggs I picked up Night Slashers, Sly Spy, and Gate of Doom after watching this video, the Switch is great for old arcade games! Having a ton of fun with all 3.

[@reagandow850]

I didn’t know these were on sale. Thanks John. I’m off to download some more arcade games. ;-)

[@JohnRiggs]

Not sure if they still are, but they're usually pretty cheap and go on sale often. If anything, put them in the wishlist.

[@Fretter18]

I love Sly Spy and Bad Dudes, I always remember them Robocop putting Officer Duffy's head through a Bad Dudes arcade screen in Robocop 2. LOL

[@b.o.353]

Thanks for doing this! I’m sure I don’t have a few of these. Off to the Nintendo shop! :)

[@LordelX]

Sweet. Bought half of these games already. Do a Neo Geo compilation for Switch! Especially Neo Geo sports games because the Switch basically only has 2K basketball and FIFA.

[@lukehinkle9614]

In that rail car there was a lot of dudes hidden in there shooting at you. It's what I would call a regular hotdog cart per Beerfest.

[@zackschilling4376]

Two Crude with a couple small tweaks could of easily been a licensed WWF game with The Nasty Boys. The main characters were clearly "inspired" by Knobbs and Sags.

[@neildennis7294]

These all came built in with my Atgames Legends Ultimate arcade. Well, except Heavy Burger, which I just play on Steam through ALU’s BYOG tab.

[@plaidigloo]

I'll wait for the complete physical copy.... 😅 Thanks for the video.

[@JohnRiggs]

that'll be a LONG wait! Though I'd love a physical Johnny Turbo collection.

[@jacksonestacado7409]

Thanks I was looking for the name of that game SRD super real darwin. I remember it as a kid

[@CaptPeanutBut]

Thank you, just the video I was looking for :)

[@krisbeckwith7105]

Hi John👋 thanks for sharing bud...👏👍🤓

[@VoiceActingGod]

Had to get them all during the new sale. The new sale ends on Friday for anyone that is reading the comments for this week!

[@shouryuuken4147]

I played the port of that Darwin shooter on the Mega Drive. I remember it being pretty fun and interesting, because evolving your ship does not just bring you advantages like more shooting power, but also disadvantages since your ship might get bigger, thus being easier to hit. iirc, there were even different evolution paths for your ship and the DNA that you collect lets you start with more power-ups after geting shot down. So the game does not set you back completely like Gradius did.

[@elgigante2001]

Huh, I thought Johnny Turbo was the mascot for the Turbo Grafx 16 and the Turbo CD. I wonder when he made the jump to Data East?

[@randybradley4151]

Heavy Burger just launched for the PlayStation 4. I've been playing the game on my PlayStation 5 and it is pretty fun. Caveman Ninja/ Joe and Mac is also on the PlayStation 4 but I don't own it yet.

[@juangsantos]

This is awesome!! Thank you for this. I wanted to get a review on some of these since they weren't at my local arcade when Iw as a kid. Are you going to do any of the other classics? Like the Neo Geo games? I'm still debating whether I get that Neo Geo horse racing game

[@bxgeo5180]

Awesome video. I wonder why johnny turbo arcade stopped releasing data east games? I would love to see desert assault, midnight resistance, and bloody wolf release on the switch

[@davidprodigy5833]

I love the thumbnail

[@leor7582]

Night Slasher need to be remade awesome beat'em up.

[@Sutoraida1975]

I was about to gripe about the button arrangement (in Bad Dudes) but now I'll have to research how to remap buttons. 🤔

[@dartdude2668]

Break thru was great on NES

[@Trusteft]

As we all know, airplanes/spaceships number one threat that must be dealt with by bombing them, lizards.

[@zackschilling4376]

WARNING ABOUT THE VERTICLE/TATE MODE - I have Nitro-Ball and it has a Tate mode, but it only rotates the screen in one direction and its the opposite of how the Flip Grip orientates the screen. Ive never seen any other games with a Tate mode do that, they always let you turn the screen left or right. I havent played it in a while, hopefully they ve fixed it and it lets turn it either way. The Flip Grip is great, definitely worth the like $15 bucks I got it for. Hopefully they re still for sale.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

They're re-releasing these games again as retro bundles., but I have no idea what people have to say about them, because I searched on KZbin and found nothing.

[@jamesdevey2633]

This was a great video hope you do a arcade archive one with a rating out of 10 as some of the young ones will not have a clue on how good these games were in the arcade. However saying that Express Raider was awesome back in the day and I was also awesome on it but playing it on the old switcheroo I am terrible. Even though it gives you unlimited continues which can ruin the some games. I try and limit myself to 5 or 10 continues depending on the type of game, well I try and limit myself lol

[@Jay-de4rk]

Yes I remember but buy it until sale recently and 3 other games I also have 2 other I got from last sale

[@conorl1894]

Crazy they didn’t include midnight resistance

[@GXSCChater]

Great video! These games are great but i hate that Johnny turbo disabled the dip switches knocking the replay vaule of the games really really low. Like how novice fighters are going to get use to the brutal difficulty of fighters history?

[@sharkbait7697]

?

[@ky-gp4sz]

?

[@Bobby8451]

Lol, with that beard and hair, Riggs looks almost identical to one of my old friends minus the glasses though. This is great!

[@Videogamelover58]

Nice video

[@panootz1]

I asked Johnny Turbo, if he someday could release Data East games Robocop, Midnight Resistant, Cobra Command and Road Avengers (Last 2 are Laserdisc games like Dragon’s Lair) their is a Dragon’s Lair Trilogy on the Nintendo Switch, so it could be possible.

[@kdj29]

i have a couple of these on my switch... i think i have almost all of them on coin ops x5

[@fermp3690]

I found Heavy Burger the other day and really enjoyed it!

[@benkizer9509]

John, not sure if you have it, but you should look into Burgertime Party for the Switch. Has some new modes of play, including a mode very similar to the arcade style. It's a fun game to play if you like Burgertime.

[@JohnRiggs]

I've played it a bit. I'm sure it's better as a party game.

[@nunowun6900]

I've had bad dudes for 2 years now and still not beat the first level

Please polish my bald head

[@tuxysmagicaljukebox5431]

Wait, how do you remap the controls in these? I didn't see an option to do it.

[@harrymasonsm]

And now none of them are there.

[@GTRclanGaming]

For Fighters History, how do you activate the second player?

[@MrMarkzilla]

Weird that Night Slashers, Breakthru and Fighter's History are not available on the e-shop in the UK. Hamster release a lot of classic arcade games every Thursday around 2:00 pm and my Switch is full of games I grew up with in the arcades... And pinball tables. Looks like I'll have to get a USA account on Switch to get Night Slashers.

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

They are illegal

[@JorgeMartinez-qm3rw]

Just create a NA Nintendo account and buy it there

[@nicklovett]

As these have been delisted do you know another way to get them? Or if I’d be able to purchase an account that has them?

[@pittsburghboyertown3821]

Are these games added to a volume as you buy them, or are they individual games on your switch menu?

[@andydavidson1278]

Is Johnny Turbo’s Arcade available in the UK?! I can’t remember seeing it? 😖

[@dreddbolt]

Excellent. :)

[@matthewlane518]

I GOT A POWER!

[@Stephen_Eee]

Just bought That Riggs-commened Super Mash Up thing....does anyone else have to eject the micro SD to download properly? I have a sandisk are those crappy???

[@urzer0703]

Alot of these did not age well. Loved bad dudes when I was a kid. Not so much now.

[@Sinn0100]

Wow...how did I miss this?! Is this available on any of the other consoles? We have a Switch, as a matter of fact it's in my right front pocket as I type this (playing Paper Mario right now) but I want Achievement and/or Trophies. We have both the Xbox Series X and PS5 so either machine would be great. Addendum- "He's the American James Bond..." That's okay, the real James Bond wasn't British either. The real Bond was of Yugoslavian decent and his name was Dusko Popov.

[@loboahriman7680]

Is that Dark Seal?

[@BruceCultureAllen]

Riggs has anyone commented on the shape of your head before?

[@JohnRiggs]

They haven't but it's huge. Like, last snap of a snapback big.

[@TomAnderson7]

They have all been removed from the eShop

[@Bw899804]

Damn

[@26.2MilesOutsidePartsUnknown]

One question, who is Johnny Turbo??

[@charlesgrybosky1916]

There are some really awesome arcade games on the Switch. The problem is the Pro Switch controller D pad sucks and the analog controller is not really appropriate for those types of games. Can anyone recommend a good controller for these types of game?

[@matthewlane518]

Id rather just play heavy barrel

[@BE_PERRY]

Is this a physical copy of the game if so please let me know because am a game GREATEST HITS collecter of game companies

[@raysegura5428]

Who or what in the hell is JONNY TURBO???

[@migangelmart]

FEKA lectroid detected

[@Trusteft]

Many games are being released for the Switch only, I don't get it. We are not talking about games which have to use something the Switch has the other consoles or PC can't do. It doesn't make any sense to me.

[@JorgeMartinez-qm3rw]

Looooool

[@brockhard3555]

John Piggs....

[@sic6664]

Are these available on pc?

[@JohnRiggs]

Well, I mean, there's always MAME :) but honestly I'm not sure.

[@natejaxson7612]

It's easy to mod the switch

[@MotherKojiro]

A lot of these are part of the Data East Arcade Classics collection on the Wii; my lady and I played through that on New Year's Eve one year, and a lot of these are solid. Express Raider was the one that kept us up until 2 am, so I'd say that's the best of the bunch, but 2 Crude Dudes/2 Crude/Crude Buster was another great one. Great to see Super BurgerTime here, though; that wasn't on the compilation. Am I missing something, though? Wasn't Johnny Turbo affiliated with the TurboGrafx-16? What's the connection to Data East?

[@Trusteft]

I wish you would show few more seconds of gameplay of each game. It gives me anxiety how quickly you go through them and talk about them. Slow down! Good video though.

[@JohnRiggs]

True, I just get through it and move on to the next. There are channels with a lot more gameplay footage, I just cram'em all in.

[@Trusteft]

@@JohnRiggs True, but that's not my point. I realize this is entirely personal/taste, and as such I mentioned it. Having 3-4 more seconds on each game would slower the pace of the video to the point where I wouldn't feel like I was rushed through it. Obviously it's your video and you do whatever you want with it, just giving my 2 cents. Or something. :) BTW, did you ever have access to an Atari ST or Amiga as a kid? I would love to see some videos from you on those systems. Have a nice week.

[@Nathan-ui2ih]

Another sadly delisted games 😢

[@TwoOfDee]

I'm all for arcade games as long as they have a high score mode. It gets kind of boring playing a game with unlimited lives

[@MarquisDeSang]

Why is the Switch 5x more expensive than Evercade? They have the exact same specs.

[@seanabsher5577]

I highly doubt that

[@benkizer9509]

No they don't.
