Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Nintendo Switch Review!

[@kadonm7833]

For those that don’t know: You lower your Heat Level by going inside of porta potties and selecting the same or different outfits. Edit: There also IS a Taxi sign at the base. You’re able to fast travel to and from the base.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Bloody hell I never found it! Nice one mate much appreciated. Hope you don’t mind me pinning this, it will certainly be useful! Mark

[@DaxKurzx]

Also team reptile included a unleash the beast mode for switch breaking it free from a rock solid 30fps to a unstable 60fps I expected to hear and see your coverage of this feature

[@logarhythmic6859]

@@SwitchUpYt The taxi signs are just hard to spot in general since they don't stick out very well. The one in the hideout is right at the top of the main stair set.

[@SwitchUpYt]

@@logarhythmic6859yeah for sure I think they could still do with improving that aspect of the game. Waypoints and navigation in general can be a bit hit and Miss. mark

[@philmatthews6701]

JSR is one of my favourite games of all time, but it could be frustrating at times, particularly with the controls. I bought Bomb Rush Cyberfunk the other day and I love it. It's improved on all the frustrating elements and added some depth to the gameplay. Visuals and music are great. If you loved JSR, I'm sure you'll love this too.

[@ellessar03]

I completely agree! JSR was brilliant, but trying to find cans on a map you didn’t know in a time limit was a nightmare. Being able to just explore these maps and revel in the gameplay has been unbelievably fun

[@JrCast84]

I am so excited for this game. JSR and JGRF are some of my favorite games ❤. Let's hope we get a physical release 🤞🏾

[@casshernbr5412]

Still think the controls are still the same 😂

[@philmatthews6701]

@@casshernbr5412 I think the main skating control is similar, but tmaybe a bit tighter. The skate camera was more of a problem with JSR if I remember right. The graffiti controls are much easier on this as on JSR you had to pull off Street Fighter type movements, which although not that difficult, would punish the switch analogue sticks a bit too much. It generally feels a bit less frustrating to control than JSR did, anyway.

[@ThatKiddNugget]

As a JSRF fan, I almost cried when I saw the hideout. Such a great game. Had me smiling ear to ear as I hit the streets for All-City🔊

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yes!!!

[@GoofyPoptart]

Dude the hidout is very similar to Future's I noticed that as well.

[@Noodle-Segootal]

Did you notice the one building in the station with the rails surrounding it was almost 1:1 with the one in future's station?

[@dragons_hook]

I loved brink terminal for that reason too

[@SwitchUpYt]

SUCH a cool game. Didn’t expect it but I’m pleased it’s here! Also there’s an uncapped mode if you’d rather higher framerates. Mark

[@GrinningWolfGames]

Well done for covering this one Mark! I’m hoping a physical will be available soon.

[@MightNight99]

The one little grape I have with this video is what you said Mark about if people looking for jet set radio 2 this is it or somewhat along those lines. Which last time I checked there was a sequel for this title in the past. So you should have said if anybody looking for a jet set radio 3 this might be the closest thing there is but other than that you're video is big W and amazing as always ❤

[@stitches11]

As someone who has great memories of playing Jet Set Radio Future in the summer of 2004, I'm looking forward to trying this out

[@xenobeers]

I've put about 5 hours into it and I'd say it's even better than JSRF which I did not expect to be saying.

[@officialscottaugusttiktok8509]

You can change your character in the hideout you just have to talk to whichever one you wanna switch to and they ask if you wanna tap out

[@joshary475]

This immediately took over my entire weekend lol. I loved this game instantly. Feels like a very effective love letter to Jet Set Radio. Hopefully a sequel comes, i already eant more lol

[@supadupa8088]

6:36 No you can fast travel back to the base. It says hideout when you pick which location you want to fast travel in.

[@snowtenkey118]

you have to discover the sign taxi first, which the game never tells you appears in yhe hideout after interacting with the driver

[@brandtrobinson690]

Yesssss! So glad you guys are doing a review for this one. I've been so hyped since it's announcement and it's so fun! Hope enough people pick it up so we can get DLC

Have secured a physical copy of this and have 1.5 weeks left to wait before I can place it atop my backlog mountain lol. Excited regardless. Thanks for the comprehensive review, never heard of it before finding this channel so I'm grateful to you and your hard work gents. Cheers guys!

[@martindion4846]

The game is amazing! One minor gripe I have is to not show the score after the duel. The screen change fast and if you don't look before it changes, you can't see what is your score. But again it's very minor and the game is fantastic!

[@SkySilver2]

Great review! Just a note on that Heat Level complaint (I agree the enemies can be annoying), changing outfits in the porta pottys actually erases your heat level, adding a gameplay reason to explore your favorite outfit! Also doing some key missions erases the heat level.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yes mate I’ve just discovered this! Pinned it

[@_YESIMHIGH]

@@SwitchUpYtwe need a guide to all the toilets

[@TheStuntastik]

Leaving the area also erases heat level. Don't think it applies to connected areas though (eg. Millennium Square and Millennium Mall) Haven't tried using a taxi but I assume that would also erase it.

[@SwitchUpYt]

[@romeroamsrome]

​@@TheStuntastikreally? i only know of thw hideout and porta potties erasing heat level, changing areas generally hasn't

Looks like a ton of fun, and this review did a fair bit to really sell me on it even more. Unfortunately I just don't have the time for it at the moment so it'll be wish-listed, but I'll be getting to it for certain.

[@blackcowboymusic]

I got this at launch and now im listening to the soundtrack while im working out 😂 awesome game

[@jonwolfenden]

Picked this up friday it’s a total blast. This game would be right at home on Dreamcast.

[@hndsmdvl]

I've put a few hours in over the weekend, LOVING this game so far!

[@Anni_ka]

I didn't have this on my radar at all, and I wouldn't have thought it would be up my alley...but I'm intrigued. That gorgeous art style really tickles my brain in the right way, and gameplay looks so smooth! I'll put it on my wishlist and keep my fingers crossed for a nice physical

[@things8957]

If you ever played and enjoyed the JSRF games you'll really enjoy this one. It's like JSR and tony hawk had a baby and I'm here for it

[@Anni_ka]

@@Episode_13 Well, some people like to collect games physically, and personally speaking, I like having the option of re-selling a game in case I don't enjoy it 😊 In some cases, like Hades, I also bought both, but I don't always have the money for that

[@calebdoherty164]

A tip for getting rid of your wanted level: go into the orange port-a-potties where you can change your outfit. Leaving will reset your level but lock the spot behind you for a bit, nice design. This game rocks and so does this review thanks!

[@essexlad8151]

This games oozes them early 00's cool vibes! Surely some of the devs must of worked on Jet Set? A few minor patches and we have a classic that will definitely be remembered here.

[@PolaroidMemory]

Woah thats a great score! This one really does look great and gives me that nostalgia tingle. Great review!

[@AndresBadel1]

Always great to see a hyped up game live up to expectations

[@Lockn3s5]

My only complaint is that it's lacking the way JSR oozed with style. It's here but feels more reserved. Also lack of voice over as I miss the DJ from JSR as your kind of narrator. Other than that I am pleased with what they did. It's all we ever wanted from a sequel. I even bought the original Xbox Jet Set Radio Future to plug in my 360 just to play it in preparation for this release. I never actually did play it though. Lol

[@perryg6017]

Looks great! Of course, total Jet Set vibes, but also reminding me a bit of PS2's Airblade and Tony Hawk's American Sk8land on DS with the cel shaded style. Hopefully mapping can be tweaked a tad.

[@FacelessFolk]

It is a tradition of mine to watch your videos while I eat my dinner (pasta and garlic bread tonight as I'm sure you're wondering). This is the only one I haven't seen yet and to be honest I clicked thinking "I don't think this will be for me but I'm watching anyways because well, it's switch up." Gotta say my mind has been changed! My backlog is constantly smacking me right in the face but it's been added to my deku list and will pick up at first sale.

[@iddles2o]

Had Jet Set on Dreamcast and utterly loved JSR on OG XBOX. Loved the visuals and in particular the soundtrack (I bought it). Just downloaded this and looking forward to it and great review!

[@KNUCKLESFREAK]

It's called a Dance Cypher and The Taxi is really meant for to get back at an certain spot when doing the story in each borough which I found very convenient for me but dope review yo keep up the great work!

[@Nedwig747]

I like how there are different transport options acting essentially as different weapon options. Cool idea

[@LynnSplatoon]

If anyone is getting this for steam I was advise being very causious at the moment. There is a pretty big bug with the autosave feature that will cause you to lose any progress you made in that sitting and start you back from when you first loaded up the game for that session. There is no manual save feature so many people, including myself, did lose hours of progress from this. Just something to be aware of if youre interested in the game. Console versions dont seem to have this issue though. If you really want it for steam, I'd say wait for a patch

[@goldengibson1958]

Never finished JSR, but loved my time with it at my friend’s place for days. This just looks gorgeous, expansive, stylistic, and fun! Great review, my wallet is really taking a hit these days 💸

[@david02129]

6:29 huh? there's definitely a taxi stand at the hideout. the thing about fast travel spots is you have to interact with them before they unlock to be used. but there's definitely one there.

[@nicked_fenyx]

I've been enjoying the heck out of this one. The controls took me awhile to get used to - and I still occasionally get frustrated, especially when I want to get off a railing, only to be auto-connected to another nearby rail. I watched a few tips vids on YT, which helped considerably with a few things the game either fails to explain, or doesn't explain until quite late in the game, about movement, so I definitely recommend others consider doing the same as it makes things much more enjoyable. The biggest tip is that boosting out of a manual, then landing in a manual again right away, will refill the manual bar and allow you to manual near-endlessly (keep doing tricks while in a manual to help refill your boost bar). That goes a long way towards chaining together more moves for bigger scores. Like you, I'm also not a huge fan of the "heat" system, as it makes exploring to find each area's graffiti locations less fun than it could be. You *can* lower your heat level without dying, though. You simply have to find a nearby portable toilet (porta-potty?) and go in, where you can change your outfit (or not). Once you leave, your heat level will be returned to zero. That said, it's still annoying to have it go right back up as soon as you start tagging again. Also, I definitely agree when it comes to the weaknesses of the fast travel system. Finding those taxi signs when you want them can be a real PITA. Overall, this isn't a perfect game, but once you get the hang of it, it's at least 95% fun, with the occasional annoyance. And that's good enough for me.

[@supersentaigen]

This game is truly amazing i bought it day one, I definitely recommend it for any Jets Set Radio fan sadly for some reason i still don't understand they didn't let us have the Lethal league blaze DLC that steam has but hopefully its not favoritism by the company and they actually add it to the switch soon

[@ZeroZmm]

Plot reminds me of Dead Head Fred. Great game, wish it got a sequel or at least a port. Been keeping my eye on this game for a while, glad to see it came out great, will buy it when I get home. Now I wish someone would revive SSX.

[@KoollKam]

I never played Jet Set Radio, but I used to watch my older brother play it. So when I saw this game announcement, my interest was peaked. I've been having a ton of fun with this game. It's so stylish and fun.

[@bertnbirdgaming4315]

I love the game. To be fair even though jet grind radio is one of my favorite games as well it still has its own issues in places too. This is the perfect successor if we’re never going to get another jet set game I’m glad we at least get this. Hover was pretty good as well, which came out a few years back. This game is definitely a treat

[@Adam-M-]

This is an amazing game. I bought it yesterday. It didn't just try to copy Jet Grind Radio, it actually adds to the formula in such a natural way that it could easily be considered Jet Grind Radio 3.

[@things8957]

I think so too 🎉

[@RAY19740]

Amazing review i didn't expect this to be so good i was so consider about it because i didn't want to get hype like i did with Hover didn't give me the feeling that jetset have

Dropping your heat level is as easy as going into the quick changing booths and switching your outfit. The game even tells you this the first time you find one.

[@EpicBongZilla]

This game is the best game that's come out in a decade. It is truly Jet Set Radio Future (not JSR) fully reimagined into a masterpiece of perfect performance. Which is where JSRF struggled at times. Haven't felt sp enthusiastic to play a game, in the last 20 years.

[@adamreally]

I bought this on day one and it immediately went into the backlog - can't wait to get into soon though. I haven't seen too many reviews of this one but def glad to see it scored so highly here. Very encouraged I made a good buy!

Thanks a lot for the detailed review! truly appreciated! I'm really hoping Team Repitle releases an artbook for this game, would buy it in an instant!!!

[@jakewhiston6461]

You can lower your wanted level by using a portable toilet and changing your outfit. You are allowed to pick the same outfit, you cant use the same portable toilet right after, each section has multiple so you will have to look for them to get rid of heat Also you can fast travel to the hideout Also it would be jet set radio 3 because of future being a sequel reboot

[@cinnamonboy4584]

Ok so a few pro tips for everyone here: 1. You can change your outfit in any map but you have to find a yellow portable bathroom, this will also take away all of the heat you have gained 2. You can unlock the taxi very early in the game, although i don't really know what triggers the event to appear, and you CAN actually go back to the base with it but i don't know why this couldn't 3. You can defeat any cop with just two hits by kicking and then jumping inmediately after, this will launch them into the air and you can tag them instantly.

Loving this game so far! One thing I'm really hoping for (if it doesn't become an in-game progressive unlock later down the line) is a map legend! Just something to show maybe missed bits of graffiti, collectables or those high-fives should we want to go back for them.
