Console Crunch #9

[@Grisomsun]

Nice! Time for bedtime with Joe. Anyone else fall asleep to these hour long retro comps?

[@inarieon8531]

Nothing like Games in the Sack :D

[@deniskenn]

Yup I have super bad tinnitus (ear ringing) so I crank game sack while I sleep

[@gordontessier4262]

I do and then I watch it again lol

[@jfzero]

Yes

[@wiki3065]

Yes! Same here!

[@Natepwnsu]

Roughly 17ish years ago I was selling wii fits at GameStop and I'll never forget it, what a time to be alive.

[@newestport7338]

It’s no longer called naptime. It is now called Sacktime

[@williamRE]

Sacktime has always been my strength

[@kklum6998]

I always finish every video this channel puts out. No skipping. Why? At the same time, it introduces the consoles and games the added extra information, tips and history of the games made is golden. Kudos.

[@nore5888]

Recently found your channel and I gotta say its awesome. Its cool to see someone talk about lesser talked-about/liked consoles along with talking about games of genres alot of retro game youtubers don’t talk about like strategy or rpg games. It feels really fresh

[@thisisnotachannel]

Well... finally, a Sack load when I'm actually awake! Of course, I'm at work... so I still need to wait 3 hours to watch it...

[@niklinders1579]

I’ve been forcibly going “THAIIITHOOOO” out loud any time anyone ever mentions Taito for a while now and that all started with the initial coverage of the Egret II Mini. Awesome to see it again.

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

That Tate Mode bit on the taito hardware was brilliant. It's that kind of thing that's kept me subbed and watching all these years.

[@MelRetro]

*Game Sack on a Thursday? I Fear Change!!* 😨

[@buttercup_jones]

Keep the crunches coming!

[@ToJoseGarcia]

6 episodes in 1! I'll have to watch this from my toilet "Joe style".

[@donnyf88]

Great 64DD review! well done!

[@williamRE]

I didn't know game sack covered a sin and punishment sequel. I didn't play the original until last year so I didn't pay attention in 06, and it's AWESOME! I'm glad I'm watching these again

[@modernhockeycards]

Miles are HUGE in the country, Joe. It is estimated a country mile can be up to 25 percent larger then a non-country mile.

[@Karl_Kampfwagen]

Depends on number of switchbacks. Country Mile can be 2, 3, 4x longer than a City Mile, because nothing is a direct path

[@lexluthermiester]

@GameSack 34:24 The "blur" is called bilinear filtering, it's there for a reason: To avoid the sharp, hard pixel look and be more faithful to what a CRT natively looked like. Some of us LIKE this filter and always prefer it as softer appearance makes the emulated game look more authentic. Personal preference is a thing, but the sharp-edge pixel look just looks silly to many people.

[@GameSack]

That particular filter used in the TurboGrafx games does not approximate a CRT at all. But yes, nothing wrong with having it there so long as it's optional.

[@lexluthermiester]

@@GameSack I didn't say "approximate", I said more faithful to the way a CRT naturally looks, which is a softer, more blended appearance. However, yes I agree the option to use or not use it should have been there.

[@GameSack]

@@lexluthermiester Honestly even over composite video I never got the "blended" appearance people talk about so much in the modern age. The filter is not faithful. It's heavy-handed. And waaay too dark.

[@lexluthermiester]

@@GameSack Really? What TV's did you have back then? Every CRT TV I ever owned had a soft/blended look to it. This is due to how CRT's work. There are no "pixels" on CRT's. So nothing was ever as crisp and sharp as LCD's/LED TV's have today. Whether or not a bilinear filter is "faithful" is open to opinion, preference and debate, one we don't need to engage in here.

[@GameSack]

@@lexluthermiester I had a 13-inch color TV (I forget the brand right now) which only had an RF input. The video wasn't as blurry and certainly nowhere near as dark as the filters used on the Wii TurboGrafx games. If anything, CRTs tend to look brighter than modern TVs. Anyway on my old TV I could still make out dithering effects quite easily. The Wii TurboGrafx filter is just bad. Fortunately filters these days will do a little more to let you adjust it, but many still darken the image when applying the fake scanlines. Blur should only ever be applied in the horizontal direction in these cases. I created my own filter to simulate CRT effects which I use all the time on Game Sack - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2G8kJWHatmLbJI

[@perpetualcollapse]

I still use the Xbox 360 episode to test my audio equipment as any smart TV and smart TV device is able to get the KZbin app. Thank you for uploading a true 5.1 surround sound video. 🫡

[@JaredConnell]

I didnt even know youtube could do that, ill have to try that episode on my set up when i get home

[@cardfightersclash]

Come for the Sack, stay for the TATE MOOOOOODE!

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Well. I'm officially subbing now, these Console Crunch episodes are to thank for this. 😄👍

[@mohammedaljanahi]

Last story and pandoras tower those were really good

[@Dac_vak]

Hell yeah I’ve been hoping for a new console crunch. Thanks joe

[@jasonhubbard6775]

PCs? What're those? Consoles 4 life!

[@lifespanofafry1534]

I can play multiple console games on my PC.

[@vincentnugent9888]

Wait til you get one... you won't look at a console again.

[@johngavalas712]

Raiden Fighters man id love to see a Nintendo Switch port one day i do have all 3 games on mame so that'll hold me over till then if it ever happens

[@Bit_Mingus]

36:53 I find these games that are considered “younger crowd” are relaxing when you just want to chill

[@BALDOGON]

Loving the awesome games n channel bro! 😃😃💯

[@dag-king9897]

Hatrick is a term used in cricket when a bowler takes three wickets in a row. It is very rare and quite an achievement. It would be like getting a quadruple double in basketball.

[@KingKoopa01]

Good, my favorite unintentional-ASMR how many times must I come back to complete this video idk....lol

[@KingKoopa01]

Picking up where I left off...x2

[@KingKoopa01]

X3...lol

[@JPWestmas]

I've moved on from Wii, and went straight into VR motion controls :D. Seriously VR controls are the best! Just not very good for these games^

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Oh wow. I didn't know that's what the Polymega was, I just assumed it was some obscure console I hadn't heard of from back in the 90's or early 2000's. Sounds like a pretty neat alternative to having so many consoles or trying to replace one that no longer works. 😅👍

[@r3conwoo]

2:02:43 Is that Green Dog? I'm impressed

[@concreteman03]

For real

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Resident Evil 4 was awesome on Wii, getting to aim the controller like a firearm felt good for the shooting. 😄👍

[@johngavalas712]

I heard the music from Eschatos what a God Tier soundtrack

[@mariopatrino3453]

We need more GodzillaJoe in our lives!

[@ndiolo]

happy Holidays to Joe 😅

[@PhillBowser]

If you don't like this Console Crunch...then you can go to hell.

[@Godsgood111]

Straight to hell

[@johnnyfitzlive]

What is there so little love for Bloom Blocks? Steven Spielberg knocked it out of the park!

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

Ahhh....i do so love these crunch episodes...in a sea of copycat retro channels, all seemingly existing in a quest to get free stuff and 'review' the same few dozen crappy Chinese knockoff handhelds, all full of the same pirated roms (which almost no one talks about! They don't wanna bite the hand that feeds i guess), game sack stands alone, as the OG. Full of humour and honesty, and top notch footage and observations. Only channel im still subbed to after 12 years. Though top hat gaming man is close in that regard, and on par in all the others.

[@gaminclampshow]

NEW CONSOLE CRUNCH YEAH!!!

[@FoolHardyQueso]

Thanks Joe

[@ZZKJ396]

BTW Euro platformers used up button to jump not because they wanted to but because they had to. Home computers were much preferred over consoles. BUT most were hardware restricted to one button on the joystick. So if you wanted the fire button to shoot or swing an axe, you were left with no other buttons left for jump.

[@dubbayabird6680]

Wish I could give a thousand thumbs up for the stop motion

[@arielgomez8361]

Man, the Tate mode always gets me!! Lol

[@craigwise6374]

Hat trick is a cricket 🏏 term meaning getting 3 out in a row

[@MenfisRetroSpace]

Nop Menudo 28:41 😂😂😂

[@jdphillips1683]

Alright!!!!! Something worth watching on KZbin... Thanks Dave u rock

[@neo6289]

OMG.... THANKS JOEEEEE

[@ark9075]

Sound is on point

[@Walkeranz]

That wiishop music. Boop beep boop beep beep 🎵

[@LordLOC]

That Taito is still the best TATE MODE I think Joe has done to date lol I just love that one :D

[@philosophyoftrucking]

Dance with an angel, Joe.

[@shane3478]

I bet when you did the Nintendo Wii video, you hated, extremely hated taking that thing apart. I can remember modding it one time and the billion of screws I had to take apart just to change the shell out. Insane

[@GameSack]

Yes, very much so! lol

[@vitamind.d.fishinsea8570]

Mario kart wii - you should play it with the nunchuck and wiimote sort of like a split classic controller - the pow is easy to avoid and also the stunts with a flick of the wrist rather than having to use the dpad.. the online mode was where it was at (for a while). Those rebirth games shouldve been on those recent konami collections!

[@reptilez13]

Man i never gel-ed with the Wii motion controls. Even Mario Galaxy felt like molasses. The pointing to collect the stars killed that game for me. Which i dont mind motion in other stuff - modern VR, light gun, heck even mouse and keyboard (2D motion controls lol) but something about the infrared detection i guess. WiiSports is alright but outside that i tried really hard and dont mind the more regular control heavy stuff, but many games id otherwise love i got sick of a few hours in at most. It's something about the sensitivity or something, maybe even input lag? Idk. Sucks cuz i feel like i miss out on some games that never got released with other controls.

[@nene71286]

Yeah! Another Crunch!

[@Lyfentymeless]

A new console crunch? I’ll take it

[@Nelbroth]

Crunch time!

[@TheAlteredState]

THE KIWI IS GOD DAMN ORANGE JOE. ORANGE!

[@jasonz7788]

Thanks game savk

[@SpokeInNoise]

Missed opportunity to call the 64DD version of Joe, nintendjoe

[@josephperez255]

Now the wii is buy one get one free 😂😅

[@SpokeInNoise]

GREEEEEEN DAAAWWWG

[@craigwise6374]

I've never had motion sickness from games but when I first started playing first person shooters I did have weird dreams. Go figure.

[@tournaline3448]

Does the Wii architecture mean that Gamecube games run natively without any lag or special processing?

[@lauti29kun]

Yes, they work natively. And with Nintendon't they perform better, because they run at the Wii clock speed.

[@tournaline3448]

@@lauti29kun Thank you. I’ve got some dead caps in my Gamecube so I have to use a hairdryer to heat it up for it to read discs 😂 It’ll be cheaper for me to buy a Wii than a replacement recapped Gamecube.

[@lauti29kun]

Original Wii with GameCube ports it's the way to go, but a family edition wii is capable of play GameCube games if you modded it ("digital" games I mean)

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Back when it was current I thought the GameBoy Color was the same as Super GameBoy in terms of coloring the games, it's so much more than that though. 😅👍

[@jfzero]

New CONSOLE CRUNCH?? What is it, my birthday??

[@daisukegori2112]

A hat trick is when you spin and flip your top hat and let it land on your head.

[@JosephRiveraSantiago0617]

Here's a another video for the Game Sack storybook

[@iwonderifthisislegal]

Okay, just found your channel and, HELL YES👍🏽! Thanks for making this. I've got a few questions for you now that i see your type of upload! My company is wanting to purchase an all in one that can ( in box ) stream directly to Zoom without tethering. Right now we are using a laptop, obs, V-mix/Wirecast. We are looking to get away from the need of the laptop. Currently the only reason we have it at all is because of the zoom program. YOLO box can't stream directly to Zoom and still needs to be sent into a pc and seen as a webcam. You can't install streaming platforms onto their YOLO box even though there is a platform area in a + symbol for you to add a platform. I wonder on the obsbot talent if you can add Zoom as a platform? We need to be able to get to zoom without the need of an external laptop and tethering in as a web camera/virtual input from OBS.

[@FloridaEbikes]

Yay Crunch Crunch

[@mmarshfairc3]

I LOVE GAME SACK SO MUCH I COULD KISS JOE

[@superdave3093]

😂 That TATE MODE! Sounded painful even though it cracked me up! 😂 Did that hurt your voice Joe?!! 😅

[@GameSack]

LOL, not too bad. :)

[@aznthy]

weird timing, during the day?

[@foreignuser_]

go ninja, go ninja, go!

[@aaronmoore6275]

1:32:04 Alan Wake was cool as hell. Nothing more to add.

[@mattzee6287]

If they ever make an Irem version, I'm building a cabinet for it.

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

My favorite part is when he talks about the Nintendo Wiienis.

[@mjdf122]

Game Sack wrong day video release

[@ricisbusy9657]

CIRCUIT CITY HAD GAMES!? 🤯

[@mattzee6287]

One selling point I'd state for an Xbox 360 (make sure it's a Jasper motherboard) it was backwards compatible,even with games like Raze's Hell,not currently available on Xbox one. And, unlike the og version Xbox it won't look like you store your games in a sandbox after one play. There is also lockout feature on d pad, which makes games like Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man more enjoyable. Just my two cents

[@thecunninlynguist]

Adding to my CC Playlist

[@SlippyMcDervish]

I prefer the older episodes. Joe's hair was stronger, sexier. Now it's fading like an old Gameboy screen.

[@tylernaturalist6437]

The best way to play DKC Returns is on the New 3DS!

[@FoolHardyQueso]

42:50 TM!!!!

[@ThatRandomFastingGuy]

Klonoa with actual voices was the one thing I disliked about the remake. Until I found out I could just turn it off so it became my favourite way to play until the Remaster on PS4.

[@msx-ht5jm]

bro did u just rumble my subwoofer

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

As neat as the motion controls were, I really wish Nintendo had let regular control options be programmed into the Wii games. It's not like these motion controls were going to be such an important feature for the rest of forever, and it certainly wasn't making it easy for them to remaster and resale those titles in the future and we all should clearly see how often companies like to sell the same game to us over and over again.

[@HardWhereHero]

1:13:11 why does the doode, look just like you? How did you all manage this?

[@GAMER_PUNK247]

1:17:40 those graphics are crazy for 2007.. It's nearly 2025 and games today don't look this good

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Oh wow. I didn't realize the 360 sold less than the PS3, I had always thought the 360 sold like crazy and the PS4 was the one that sold more than X-Box One. Huh, Neat.😅👍

[@Karl_Kampfwagen]

It's Official.... The Wii is "retro" now. 3:05:05 - you say 2.9 MegaHertz CPU clock 😭

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Oh wow. I always thought the 360 sold more units than the PS3. Huh, Neat. I guess 😅👍

[@mattzee6287]

Arkanoid in some arcade versions had a pixelated naked woman,that you would reveal by getting rid of those blocks(or blockers) .yes. I'm serious

[@musickid43]

Joe, did you know I was rewatching all the console crunch videos? The timing on this is perfect.

[@Kinshinobi]

I gotta disagree with Mario Galaxy being the best Mario ost Joe. Super Mario rpg is, for my money, number 1 in that spot.

[@thegreathadoken6808]

If they thought by naming the Xbox 360 the Xbox 2 it would seem lesser than the PlayStation 3, what changed between then and their naming of 2013's Xbox One?

[@icebergthegamer]

Been subbed to you guys for years. I gotta say, I’m not a fan of this format of videos. I do have to say though, my algorithm loves you guys lol. I normally won’t watch the videos but when I do have autoplay on, a game sack video if always first in line. Meant no disrespect by my comment. Just being honest. I respect what you guys do, although I’m not a huge fan of this format. Wish you guys the best of luck.

[@GameSack]

I understand, however these compilation videos are the most popular on my channel so I'd be kind of dumb not to put some out from time to time. :)

[@icebergthegamer]

@@GameSack totally respect it. Don’t stop what you’re doing. 💪🏻💪🏻

Is there something wrong with my eyes? 3:31:34 I don't see a difference in fps here and I don't think I've ever seen the difference between 30 and 60 fps. 😅👍
