Chameleon Twist DESERVED Better...

The Chameleon Twist games are some of my personal favorite games from the Nintendo 64 era and I wanted to talk about both games, Chameleon Twist 1 and Chameleon Twist 2, why I love them, what they are about and why you should give them a try if you haven't.

Thanks so much for watching! Have you ever played the Chameleon Twist games? Let me know some of your favorite memories of them if you did!

[@worldsworstletsplay]

I absolutely had this game as a kid! I never really got into the story mode, but my sister and I would spend HOURS knocking each other off of platforms in the multiplayer!! So much fun!

[@Sorrowisyourdemon]

These games really were the perfect bite size rental experiences, but man I wish the second game actually meaningfully expanded on the first game instead of once again being a tiny set of linear levels picked from a level select

[@LonkinPork]

when I was 5, half a year or so before the Gamecube came out, I got an N64, and my choices of quasi-pack-in game from the store my parents bought it from were _Chameleon Twist_ and _Blast Corps_ I chose _Chameleon Twist._ I played through it a couple times before I got a Gamecube a few years later, and never knew it got a sequel until very recently. I'm glad I'm not the only one with core memories of this weird, mostly-forgotten little oddity

Chameleon Twist 2 Stage 1 music lives rent free in my head. Sad boy Fred for life

[@BestPlotJoe]

I've been watching your videos the last few days and enjoying them a lot.... but Chameleon Twist!? LETS GO!! Absolutely incredible games, thanks for highlighting them and bringing back the rush of nostalgia.

[@tornekotaloon9732]

Ah man, loved these games since I rented them as a kid! Ive always preferred the first game, gameplay wise, because I feel 2s levels dragged on a bit too long, but theyre both fantastic! The Japan System Supply meow into the title music in the first game has been stuck in my head for my entire life!

[@RicksRoads]

I had one faint memory of a hamburger boss who threw his parts at you like shuriken, been trying to find this for years. I thought I may have just had a bad fever dream as a kid.

[@JuliaSin]

Wait.... This wasnt just a fever dream i had?!?! I had never remembered the name of these games and i only played it once because of blockbuster but they never carried the game after that one time!! I thought i just dreamt it up!

[@GameGenie1121]

This game series is the pure definition of liminal space.

[@melon3109]

oh man, i always wanted to play these games! i never had a chance. i would stare at articles and ads in tips&tricks, gamefan, and other magazines longingly imagining how fun they must be. a darned shame these (and mystical ninja) aren't on that Nintendo Switch online thing.

[@lordmew5]

I played the first game so much when i was a kid.i absolutely loved it at the time this and tonic tunic were my favorite games of this genre on my 64 even though now that I'm older i know bomberman hero is the best thing of that genre during that time. Also you are so right i miss games just having a simple premise for you to just sit down and play.

[@amairanidesaulniers758]

How come no one remembers this game? I must be there only one of my friends that owned this game. Never played the first one. I’m gonna buy them so my kids can play them

[@MrWashed_]

Holy shit I was just thinking about this game I totally forgot what the title was, thankyou!

[@Demonstryke13]

I never did play these games back in the day but they do look like a lot of fun!!!

[@JacobDragyn]

I never played the first "Chameleon Twist". I also don't understand what the developers were going for with the character designs in that game. At least in the sequel the chameleons looked like chameleons. I rented "Chameleon Twist 2" as a kid. At the time I didn't like the game since it was short and lacked substance. As an adult though, I can appreciate that it had unique mechanic ideas. I picked up an N54 cartridge awhile back. I'm hoping there's either an official release or a recompiled version which makes it more accessible.

[@dankinmcspankin3123]

i dont think ive ever seen a n64 game i havent seen before

[@spiritmacardi9300]

The only thing I don't like about the second game is how they changed the character designs outside Japan. If there's a rom hack to revert them while kerping the game in English I'd love it.

[@brucegusler5208]

I’ve never heard of these games. They look great!!

[@MichaelMacaw]

I haven’t played the second game but if I’m not mistaken, the first world of it is the one from the credits of the first game? I know the first game showed off an area you never go to but I think it looked similar.

[@Emmj91]

Did you do a “Wait…Rememeber Croc 🐊 ?” Yet?

[@effyelvira]

AWWW I still have 2's cartridge

[@Digiflower5]

Hey guys Sunsoft has a suggestion page, lets go ask for Chameleon Twist.

[@gracekim25]

Ooo haven’t heard of this one before 🤔

[@joebykaeby]

I loved these games!!

[@happybee1441]

Have you ever played scaler? It's on PS2 and your a kid who gets transformed into a lizard and you have to traverse to get back to normal.

[@diversitydiversity-r8n]

plyed before. cousin owned it so sporadic until I could borrow

[@maxisenberg9093]

This it literally currently the carteiditting in my 64 lol

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

It is a fun game!

[@mrdrybonestv]

I adore the first game, I never played the sequel because the new character designs just didn’t work for me.

[@chrisgranger5477]

Yes, they need to bring these long forgotten gems back on the Switch eShop if not the NSO Expansion Pack… Seriously!

[@gmartines8511]

never heard of these games nd I had a n64

[@monstersmike4585]

#Nintendo Switch is a magical port system that makes all games feel cool and you can add gyro controls....why hasn't Nintendo just ported all the n64 games..... I really miss chameleon twist...

[@Yoshizuyuner]

hopefully they add them on nso

[@brpqn2338]

I'd only rent these games too!!! Haha

[@connorburroughs3623]

Can you do with remember metal gear rising Vengeance

[@TommyPezMaster]

Do you also think the N64 Bomberman trilogy deserves better?

[@jacobnapkins1155]

Can you do mystical ninja?

[@Gadoxplayer]

[@crocobae]

I played the first one in my childhood, I still remember the funny tongue noise when you reach the length limit

[@FTChomp9980]

I only grew up playing Chameleon Twist 2 on the N64 I fell in love with it I would love a remaster of it considering the Developer is still around still I'm optimistic.

[@EtoRanger]

Same, I remember wondering what Chameleon Twist 1 was like.

[@meiu7652]

Thanks for doing this vid. My whole childhood I had one vague memory of playing the sequel game, not being able to get past the tutorial area. Thought i was losing for my mind for more than a few years😅❤

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

They made a second game?

[@lietsmusic]

chameleon twist was so good i'm glad you covered it!! if you ever cover rocket robot on wheels (another severely underrated n64 classic) i will explode with excitement

[@fanderesidentevil]

I rented one of this games in a blockbuster when I was little. I have vage memories of this game (I think I played the first) but I could learn its name thanks to channels that compile every game of the consoles. I cant say a lot about chameleon twist, basically because I said everything I can remember. I spent my N64 days playing OOT, smash bros and banjo tooie, I had like 15 games but those were by far my favorites

[@cakes8172]

On the main channel PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a DCAU video🙏🏼🙏🏼 a longgggg one. Batman the animated series JUSTICE LEAGUE the whole 9 yards 🙏🏼😤 I’m begging

[@smxxsh3x]

Bro can you do IGGYS WRECKING BALLS FOR n64

[@grasshopper-ln9us]

Yooo Chameleon Twist Holy shit someone who actually knows this fucking game I played this on repeat with Perfect Dark, Turok, WCW vs NWO, and Goldeneye 64

[@rafaelcastro4782]

Hey man love this video say have you of another forgotten n64 game called "Buck Bumble"? It was made by Ubisoft i you'll like it has a beat music!😎🎵

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

I have found thi s video game series existence today Have a N64 If you want more from this series you should make hack versions of this series

[@thedizzytuna]

Holy crap we have the same experience with these games I used to rent them so god damn much at blockbuster a long with a couple other titles but these were forever staples and I wish I owned copies today

[@Mighty10917]

Did you know in the Japanese Version of Chameleon Twist 2 the chameleon design is the same look as the first game

[@EduSolsa]

Used to rent those 2 a lot when I was kid, but never beat the second game.

[@jeremyhagan7698]

I’d love to see an episode on jet force Gemini ❤ & star fox 64

[@jaystar4968]

I miss this game so much😢

[@ernestoarteche4529]

What about gex? 😏

[@RentalRoom117]

First comment

[@shadyasriel]

Chameleon Twist was (from what i remember) the very first game i ever played (Along Shadows of the Empire also on N64) Its very near and dear to my heart, i would always play it to the point where now i can mostly 100% complete it But its still one of my favorite games all time with one of the most memorable ost's Yes I would love like a Limited Run Collectors of both games remastered for the Switch To this day i dont have and have never played the 2nd game sadly

[@shadyasriel]

And i will always remember the credits music making me both satisfied and cry at the same time

[@greeninja7293]

Ah, I fucking loved this games as a kid. Still fun to play, and I keep a few songs in my music playlists, too

[@markdiaz8895]

CT2 was my first N64 game! I loved it so much so im super happy to see it get some love!

[@thepokekid01]

This and Glover were my Jam back in the day
