Best Games You Missed (In Series You Love) - Retro Bird

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

This why I don't really care about new stuff. There are so many classic games, movies, books that I haven't experienced yet, and more than likely they are better than the soulless new stuff that is being cranked out. Recently start playing the PC-Engine. So many undiscovered Japanese games to enjoy!

[@-Down-D-Stairs-]

And you know the classics put entertainment first and foremost!

[@dragoon1090]

I need to play more PC-engine games. There's so many I don't even know about yet.

[@cd4playa1245]

The new Astrobot game looks promising.

[@scollurio]

Agreeing 200 %!

[@aaronclark3848]

Same here! I’ve been playing through Saturn titles for several months now, and I just picked up a Sega CD and have a Core-Grafx on the way from Japan. Most of the modern games coming out now just don’t do it for me. I’ll play maybe 2-3 games a year on my Ps5 and Switch. My Xbox is collecting dust after I beat MCC and played some Halo Infinite 😞

[@mRibbons]

Resident Evil: Code Veronica was multiplatform, but I rarely see people discussing it. It was a next gen sequel to RE 1,2, & 3, with classic tank controls, no reused assets, and real 3d backgrounds. It got completely overshadowed by RE 4.

[@corey2232]

Don't worry, Resident Evil 0 was also overshadowed by RE4. Most people forget it exists. Also, Code Veronica was s Dreamcast exclusive when it launched, but got a PS2 port a year later (and GC port a couple years after that).

[@NoiseRockGamer]

Growing up, I felt RE2 and CV:X were my favorite of the series. Having replayed the original trilogy and the PS2 port of CV, I have to say that my initial impressions as a teen of CV were far too generous as I realized some things.. That game is laden with jank by way of far too many cluttered ladder and stair climbing animations, shorts you on ammo, the poisonous moths are baneful since they respawn when you leave the area by 1 screen and therefore cause a player to potentially waste the aforementioned precious ammo, the worst cheesable boss of a Tyrant no less and finally the backtracking is way more of a slog with less sense of accomplishment (hemostatic?) and to top it all off: STEVE. One of the most obnoxious side characters ever. The pacing is awful and the little romance Steve develops with Claire is so hurried, absurd and pathetic since his emotions are all over the place. They tried that with Leon and Ada and it still makes no sense but at least it was more cinematic and less middle school. I mean, he acts immature in every scene and it is painful with every interaction. I could go on but I digress.

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

It got it's time to shine on the Dreamcast first. Heck there's even a dedicated Dreamcast model for Code Veronica!

[@mRibbons]

@@NoiseRockGamer I'm not saying the game is S tier or even A tier. I only brought it up in context of the video. Being on Dreamcast, a lot of people missed it by default. Years later, its PS2 release saw around 1.2 million global sales, whereas RE1 GameCube remake and RE Zero both quadrupled those numbers. God knows how much RE4 sold. Moreover, CV came out during Dreamcast's freshman lull, when developers hadn't figured it out and a lot of crappy games were being published. It got mixed reviews. My point is, CV got sandwiched between the iconic PS1 RE OT and the venerable GC RE trilogy and it's easily overlooked and forgotten. It's no my favorite by a long shot, but I think it's worth checking out for RE fans. Lololol Steve tho. He's the worst! Used to hate him, but now I think he's hilariously awful.

[@NoiseRockGamer]

@@mRibbons @mRibbons Fair point, but in the RE circles, I hear about CV plenty these days. I would agree that it is at least worth checking out but I would have suggested RE Gaiden for GBC. RE established a console presence but at that time during the transition into next gen handhelds (specifically GBA, DS, DSi) for Nintendo, I would say the GBA itself overshadowed RE Gaiden and no shch title would exist until the DS/DSi with the RE port Deadly Silence. Gaiden came out around the same time as the PS2 port of CV and I would say CV itself wasn't really overshadowed by the GC remake of RE since it was a full 2 years after CV released. However, if anything was overshadowed, I would say Gaiden could have been overshadowed by the CV PS2 port having released a year before AND the GBA coming in hot to replace the GBC.

8:21 Since you mentioned the Mickey's Illusion games, there are actually other 2 titles that are great entries but sadly not much people played or maybe overlooked and were the modern 3D remake: Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse released on PS3/X360 and mobile (Android), and the official "spiritual succesor" Disney's Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion released on 3DS. Gosh, both games were quite neat!.

[@dbzfanatic278]

I wish they could put the game on the switch somehow. It was awesome and they just released contra operation galuga so now would be the perfect time imo

i've just into retro gaming in the last few months. thought i'd finally lost my love for gaming until I started going back to the NES/SNES kind of era and discovering a whole new world I hadn't experienced since I was a little kid. Plus I find the collecting aspect of it fun too. Channels like this are fantastic for discovering games that are going on my ever expanding backlog to try and find and buy haha

[@3nvy777]

What are your favorites thus far?

[@TheSteveo909]

@@3nvy777 up to now in the few months I’ve been doing it over the few consoles I’ve collected I’ve enjoyed: Metroid Zero mission for the game boy advance Mike Tyson’s punch out (NES) Super Mario world (SNES) Super Mario Bros 3 (SNES version) Street fighter 2 turbo (SNES) mega man x (SNES) Michael Jackson’s moonwalker (Genesis) Earth worm Jim (only just started) These are the only ones I’ve played so far as I try to complete a game before I move on but I’m loving it all up to now

I'm still blown away that there was a full size arcade cabinet complete with 2 keyboards of typing of the dead. One I would mention is Elevator Action Returns, I can see people playing the original arcade game but not the sequel

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

A lot of people seem put off by all the dog shooting in Elevator Action Returns, I think it's the whimper sound lol. Have you ever played the Monkey Ball Arcade cabinet with a Dole banana as the joystick? It plays really well, maybe better than with a controller.

I think Minish Cap in the Zelda franchise was overlooked my many

[@divinecomedian2]

I missed a lot of the handheld Zelda entries, including that one. It was tough being a kid seeing ads for them but not being able to buy them.

[@mekkelino]

I finally got to play minish cap recently thanks to it becoming available on Nintendo switch online, and it was a great time indeed (except for that one heart piece...)

[@gamebros87]

[@dahubbzgaming]

This is the game that came to my mind when I saw the video name.

He’s the Retro Bird yeah, and he’s talking, talking bout video games 🎶

[@Jma952]

Mr. Bird, you make Fridays gooder

[@DarkseidJoshua]

For fans of the Metal Gear franchise, I would recommend Metal Gear Acid on the PSP. It's a tactics based entry that plays more like a tactical RPG game, but it is a great entry in the franchise that often gets overlooked and is largely forgotten due to being a PSP exclusive with no remasters or ports onto any other console. But if you have a PSP and like Metal Gear. I suggest giving it a try :)

[@divinecomedian2]

Sounds like I need to do some PSP emulation

[@Totavier]

I second this, I played both games and were amazing!, darn fun to play it. But you are a little wrong with the genre, the game is not a RPG but a Card-Strategy based game.

[@ShonenJump121]

One that does come to mind is Advance Wars. People love the GBA games, but you don't hear people talking about Dual Strike on the DS that often, which sucks because its good! As big as the Mario Franchise is you would think that most games are rated fairly well, but people really don't talk about 3D land at all. Out of every 3d Mario it might honestly be the one that gets forgotten the most.

[@malBOROkid]

I missed sm64 and oot....sunshine and windwaker were my first 3d experiences of both series

[@brianhatcher2799]

Dude, you read my mind!! Mega Man 8 is my third favorite Mega Man game in the original series after 2 and then 3. Also, how did you know that I had been having plumbing issues lately?😮 It’s like that song Eye in the Sky by Alan Parsons Project: “I can read your mind “😂

[@ben501st]

I bet a decent number of people missed out on Star Fox: Assault. It didn't get great reviews, had a delayed release, and came out after Star Fox Adventures which really turned people off of the series. It's a fine game that those who enjoy the first two games will likely enjoy.

[@latt.qcd9221]

Castlevania Chronicles is one of my favorite Castlevania games. Absolutely hidden gem.

[@drakedillon8598]

Gotta love that Friday wholesome

[@TenOfZero1]

I haven't really played any of these. No one I knew had them as a kid and so I never went back to play them, but I really should!

[@leecroft1983]

Mad Max, Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Great game that i can't help was overlooked at the time but has gotten more attention in recent years. The game acts as a good unofficial prequel to Fury Road.

[@zacharyrozell7421]

I think the Legend of the mystical ninja is a very underrated SNES gem that I grew up playing it and took me until I was grown to beat it lol but I love it

[@gam85191]

Underrated channel! Love Retro Bird! 😍

[@BlankSpacePub]

Good choices, but I would replace the Mega Man 8 choice with Rockman and Forte (or MM and Base) for a few reasons. 1. In spite of its flaws and glitches, it is a super fun game with great graphics, music, and replayability (collecting all 100 boss CDs). 2. It has no annoying jump-jump, slide-slide levels or campy voice acting. 3. We’re talking retro hardware here, and Rockman and Forte was a late release for the Super Famicom. I was super happy when I discovered it back in the early 2000s through emulation, and later bought the Super Fam version from Japan to play on my SNES. It’s a great game, and one that is more overlooked than MM8 because it’s not included in any modern compilations. Anyway, great vid!

[@نونيم-ي4ح]

One game that i missed because of the hate was Zelda SS and after playing recently i was completely blown away, the game has its problems but the dungeons, atmosphere, combat, bosses and art direction are fantastic and some of the best in the series imo.

[@the.bloodless.one1312]

DKC3!!!! You have no idea how many people I see write that game off as sucking without even playing it, and how many people I’ve seen online finally shut their mouth and play it and absolutely LOVE it!! It’s my second favourite in the trilogy after DKC2 personally

[@EmaCr_]

You gotta do a part 2 about this topic. Pretty good games!

[@Gamingwithgleez]

I like Mega Man 8 but it always seemed more kid like than others in the series. Maybe its just me. I feel like after playing Mega Man X, going to Mega Man 8 felt like a big step back but overall it is a good game. Good video man!

[@emayzd]

Thanks for the the vid Retro 🐦 - I'd love to hear some of the music from the games to come through the videos especially when you talk about some I have missed 😮

[@Malcoladdin]

OMG the Master System got some love! Yusssss! Thankyou RB! I would also recommend trying the final game in the series, Legend of Illusion. It is definitely a bit easier than the first 2 games, but the visual effects are even better

[@CasperEgas]

I have played Typing of the Dead (love it) and also played Land of Illusion. The Master System version of Castle of Illusion is also lovely.

[@darkhierophant4914]

Props for mentioning Typing of the Dead. I love the game.

[@possumgrits825]

Played them all. A series I think is overlooked or underappreciated, vectorman. Great games that get overlooked. Tough but fair run n fun action.

[@creativefreedom9143]

Best games you missed in series you loved: (my list) 1. Mario series - Super Princess Peach (Nintendo DS) 2. Ninja Turtles series - TMNT 2007 (Nintendo GameCube) 3. Power Rangers - Power Rangers SPD (GameBoy Advance)

[@3dmarth]

TMNT almost felt like a fourth Prince of Persia, with its mix of acrobatic platforming, combat, and of course, wall running. (Not too surprising, since it was made by the same studio!)

[@snake098765]

Mangaman 8 has the most bestest voice acting in the history of bideo games.

[@mattb6522]

Good choices! I've played all except "Typing of the Dead" and "Gradius Gaiden". I am a huge Gradius fan, but just wasn't even aware of Gradius Gaiden's existence, so I appreciate Retro Bird looking out for me! I agree that Castlevania Chronicles and Land of Illusion are both absolute gems in their respective series! I kind of like Mega Man 8, but then I hear a small voice in my head that repeats: "Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!" and I get a mental breakdown! I would nominate *The Misadventures of Tron Bonne* as an obscure game in a well-known series. It allows you to play as the antagonist of the Mega Man Legends, Tron and command her army of Servbots to score as much money as possible to save her family! There are many different types missions and you can upgrade your robots along the way! It is pretty short and sweet, but I found it to be a lot of fun!

[@bobbyo5807]

[@eightbit1975]

Land of Illusion...YES! I have been saying for years that the Master System entry to the Illusion series was the best of the bunch. I'm glad someone agrees! And Castlevania Chronicles eh? This game I was not aware of. Thanks!

[@Kenhawk98]

I got Castlevania Chronicles as a PSSOne download on the PS3. One game I would recommend would be Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge on the Gameboy Advance for Colect-a-thon fans.

[@attackemartin]

[@bbeaup]

I think an interesting topic could be something like when a sequel game is so good at improving the original that you just cant play the original anymore. Like i loved tekken 1 but by time tekken3 came out the improvement is so good i just haven’t played tekken1 again.

[@brisingr14]

Typing of the Dead is actually the only game of that series that I've played. Got it running on my steam deck with an 8bitdo keyboard.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

[@cd5sircoupe]

Still got my original PS1 copy of MegaMan 8, my aunt bought it for me for my birthday. Also stumbled on a garage sale copy of the Saturn version, along with X4, years ago. Thought I had Typing of the Dead, but its apparently House of the Dead 2. I do have the keyboard though, big PSO player here. Also have that fishing rod & that model of light gun. Can't calibrate the guns to work with HotD2 unfortunately, they work perfectly fine on Virtual Cop on the Smash Pack though. For the Castlevania entry, how about I nominate Lament of Innocence. That was actually a really solid game, not groundbreaking or anything, but not a piece of garbage either. I'd say it was a solid 7.5 out of 10 game, and I know for a fact a lot of people have never played it.

Bought Castlevania Chronicles when it was new in 2001. Gave up in 2002 because could not clear stage 2 of the hardest mode. Game save on the card was intact when I fired it up in 2023, so I continued where I left off and completed the hardest mode. Very satisfying, a 20 year journey. Duck Duck naner. Hilarious.

[@mikelondakos9723]

The Lion King for SNES was one of the best/difficult games. It is far under rated imho. I loved it, but only beat it once as a kid, again recently as an adult. That second level is always the hardest, that and the lava level near the end.

Of the games in the video, I've play Megaman 8 (Which actually is my favorite game of the OG Megaman series) and Castlevania Chronicles, which I did like. I'd be up for some Typing of the Dead but I simply never got the chance to. As far as other games in series I like but never played, Panzer Dragoon Orta was a game I've wanted to play since release. One day.

[@marcoalves9029]

when it comes to good obscure games from popular game series, the DS version of Crash of the Titans, and the GBA version of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night come to mind; they're completely different from the (kinda infamous and divisive) home console releases of these games, with the former being a game that follows the "traditional" Crash Bandicoot formula, and the latter being a literal metroidvania (whereas their home console counterparts that most people know are basically beat-em-ups with platforming elements instead lol) also wow, I didn't know there was a keyboard accessory for the Dreamcast

[@TsengFayt]

Mega Man 8 is legit my favorite entry in the original series, lol. Love the bright colors, graphics, music, and all the special equipment you can get from laser beams to exploding arrow shots to mix things up even further. Funny thing about Gradius Gaiden - I do have the Gradius Collection for the PSP, but it remains the only game I have for it. I never did explore the PSP library that much...although I used to have Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, and I wanted Mega Man: Powered Up. As for some overlooked titles, I'm definitely giving that to Contra: Shattered Soldier for the PS2. I was massively addicted to that game when it came out, and anyone who knew me at the time would see me playing it at least once. It's an awesome run and gun shooter done in the classic style but with at-the-time modern graphics, and it has an amazing soundtrack. It's definitely worth checking out if you like classic shooters like Contra or Metal Slug.

[@thatoneguyoverthere4236]

Ace Combat X on PSP often gets overlooked in the Ace Combat series, but is actually pretty good. Maybe not on par with the highly regarded PS2 trilogy 4, 5, and Zero. But still worth playing for anyone into the series.

Megaman 8 has always been my favorite. I loved the voice acting and was disappointed they went back to old-school with MM9. We do have Megaman and bass tho

[@hammerheadms]

Castlevania Chronicles was an awesome game, but I think an overlooked gem in that series, and one of my favorites, is The Curse Of Darkness. I think it's the best of the 3D Castlevania games, because it's non-linear like Symphony Of The Night, but it really nails the 3D environments and play of later installments. I personally like the grinding, and challenge of the quest style Metroidvanias, and Curse Of Darkness that in spades, and with unlockable characters has a ton of replayability.

[@GameDadGrant]

Only one from your list that I haven't played is the Gradius one. Looks sweet, though. A game I feel a lot of people missed out on (or didn't even realize existed) is Metal Gear Solid for the Game Boy Color.

[@km_studios]

Final Fantasy V is a big one for me. The game was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1992, but it was never released outside of Japan until the Playstation port in 1999, and from what I've heard, it was a pretty poor localization and the constant loading screens made it a pretty bad port overall. We finally got a good release of the game for the Gameboy Advance in 2006, although by that time the DS was already out, so I doubt many people cared. Ultimately, I feel this game has really flown under the radar, which is a shame because it's great! It's my second favourite in the series (behind X)
