Eternal Champions Used Sega's WORST Accessory

[@Nowinthe90s]

►► We are still completely demonetized. For those who didn't see it, KZbin has completely demonetized this channel due to "Reused Content", with no warning and no strikes. Our appeal has been submitted, and we believe we can win that appeal, but it's taking longer than we thought. We are supposed to hear within 14 Days. If for *some* reason we lose the appeal, we don't believe the channel can continue forward. In the mean time, we greatly appreciate everyone who has supported us through our Patreon! It really helps when things get uncertain like this. If you're in a position to help, we will humbly put our link here -- www.patreon.com/now90s

[@db_524]

This is outrageous. KZbin has a horrible history of loving you one day and going against you the next with no good reasons or intentions a lot of the time. I pray you guys will win this appeal as I’ll be devastated if you guys are forced to delete this channel after a lot of hard work put into it last year and the blood, sweat, and tears into it making it. Please know me and others will still be there to support you all in anyway we can. Much love. 🙏🤞🫂♥️

[@dndbasement2370]

This is h31 all over again. Basically they think old content is reused content. H31 had to go to court to win that one. So i really hope it doesnt get to that point.

[@MentalLiberation]

Don't you just love it? We're about to go into one of the biggest years for gaming in the 1990s news and the channel gets completely demonetized. And if they don't win the appeal, and then they can't move forward with this channel and will become, ultimately, dead in the water. Thanks a lot KZbin, ya jerks!

[@jikmjuhn]

OMG, Eternal Champions is a major blast from the past! I remember me and my old man playing this game back when I was a kid. Out of nowhere, my dad triggered an overkill out of nowhere at the Atlantis(?) stage and saw my character (Xiaver, IIRC) getting eaten alive by piranhas. The looks on our faces that day was priceless! I even remember resetting the game to see each character destroy the sega logo.

[@kyuubinaruto17]

I found the game to be too difficult, mostly because the computer blatantly cheats. They can use their specials as much as they want, even if their special meter is empty. There's also how getting defeated sends you back a fight or two instead of having a continue system. The training modes are cool, but it's weird how you can set the difficulty in the training mode but not chose a difficulty for the main game.

[@Rob-z7k]

I remember dragging my dad to buy me this game when it came out. I went home played and felt guilty of making my dad buy it...cause it sucked balls!

As a former 90's kid, I look forward to every Now in the 90's episode.

Eternal Champions had a cool concept of characters from different eras of history including different parts of the future, it didn’t have the polish of SFII or Mortal Kombat but was still a pretty good time.

[@jasonblalock4429]

Even at the time I felt like Sega over-hyped it. Yeah, it was pretty good, but it wasn't mind-blowing. Although it did have, if not the best, some of the MOST Genesis graphics ever on the Genesis.

[@JoeyJ0J0]

It was okay but tough

[@Randomark3087]

Even a number of the Overkills were pretty gruesome. To this day, some of them make me quiver.

[@H0lyMoley]

I liked it. The Mega CD version absolutely blows it out of the water though. For one thing, Trident doesn't blow every single other character out of the water. (Yeah, the Megadrive / Genesis version had some serious imbalances in terms of its roster.)

I am too. But literally last week Dylan made a comment about how he doesn’t have enough time to play many of the games which made me think, “then where does he get the footage from?” Then I brushed it away thinking it must come from somewhere they archive.

No. There’s nothing saying that they can’t make the videos. The only thing in question is their ability to make money on it. (For whatever reason)

The violence in the Genesis Eternal Champions paled in comparison to the Sega CD version. I had it back then, and to this day, the overkills and stage kills are still some of the goriest sprite art I have ever seen.

That montage of stuff to look forward to next year put a huge smile on my face. It reminded me of how much of a banger year 1994 was in the 16 bit era.

Merry Christmas Jared and Dylan, and I hope you guys get the monetization stuff sorted out.

I grew up with my Dad in the airforce and we lived on an airbase in Germany from 1990 to 1994 (I was four to eight years old) everything we had from TV to video games and movies could be hard to come by and lagged behind the US releases anywhere from a few months to a few years behind the US. My family got back into the states in 94 and it was like a completely different world I had just got Sonic 2 but Sonic 3 was a thing, Mega Man had become Mega Man X, and Power Rangers and the X-Men where eveywhere. So 94 was when my memory of games became current and I was experiencing things as they where new and I'm looking forward to reliving some of that.

Playing Eternal Champions with only three buttons was...not fun. Meanwhile, it was a blast playing TMNT Tournament Fighters in the Blockbuster tournament in 1994. Neither of us got far in that tournament, but it was still fun nonetheless.

[@AceTrainerX3]

A part of me saw 1993 as the golden year for the 16-bit era. But now, with a year's long retrospective of this channel (and a good long while of me being in the retro gaming hobby), I've gotta say I'm more stoked for 1994's coverage. Mega Man 6 (and X1 ig but I prefer X2+3), Castlevania Bloodlines, Donkey Kong Country, Samurai Shodown 2, King of Fighters '94, Super SF II Turbo, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, etc. These have come to define this era for me, and I can't wait for their episodes in the coming future.

My favourite thing about Eternal Champions is how it has various fighting locations from throughout history and one of them is literally just a McDonald's parking lot. I mean, they changed the logo but you still can easily tell it's a McDonald's just from the architecture, back before they started turning McDonald's restaurants into bland boxes roughly a decade and a half later. My biggest gaming memory of 1994 was passing by an arcade in Montreal somewhere on Rue Ste-Catherine near Complexe Desjardins and Place des Arts sometime in the later part of the spring or early summer and seeing a little bit of a crowd. They had a brand new Daytona USA machine with a large screen facing out towards the street and, at the time, it was like seeing a game from the future. Ironically, I don't think I ever actually got around to playing Daytona USA, I didn't have a lot of change with which to be able to play arcade games in 1994 and I think Daytona USA was a full "Loonie" (Canadian dollar coin) to play, I never got a Sega Saturn, and, once we had a Dreamcast, there were more sophisticated racing games like Metropolis Street Racer, Ferrari F355 Challenge, and Test Drive: Le Mans. My top Sega Genesis game of 1994 was mentioned in this episode, but it wasn't really shown in the sequence of 1994 games at the end but rather it was mentioned in passing earlier in the video: Dune II: The Battle for Arrakis. I also like Shining Force II.

Great outro, see you guys next year!

[@Mr.Boglin]

Did Eternal Champions eat "Granny Fighter" in that Commercial? LOL it sure looks like it!

[@The8bitFighter]

Does Dylan write his sections or do Jared and David write it? Those sections have been killer.

[@EmeraldLance]

8:41 That's actually a really dope commercial, ngl.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all the Now In The 90s staff! . .

[@esteban-iriarte-animation]

Merry christmas and happy hollidays! Thank you Jared and Dylan for such a great show! Can't wait for the "94" episodes!

[@johnsesia9050]

12:22 Collection, not Edition. Also, I never thought you'd forsake the fact that Mega Man X came out on December 29, 1993.

Thanks for such a great show to look forward to each Friday. You guys do a phenomenal job.

[@redwizardmatt]

Happy winter break and or any holidays you guys observe. I'm greatful for the really awesome videos you guys put out and Im glad you're taking some time off for yourselves. Also, I had Eternal Champions. Larson was my favorite character too. Remember the weird fiah guy? Oh man, that game had some weird content and I loved it. Also, I was never very good at it. :p

Shame about the youtube news. This show has quickly been something that i've looked forward to every Friday. Thank you so much for putting this show together, I always share these new episodes to my friends. I've subbed on Patreon, I hope you all get to successfully appeal the issue! See you in 1994!

[@MrTylerWpg]

Holy crap 1994 had so many great games. Can't wait for Jared's reaction to them. Especially FF3

[@GabePuratekuta]

But FF3 came out way before 1994.

[@prairiete]

Thank you guys for all the entertainment this year again. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Hoping that KZbin will stop spewing bot nonsense...

[@louyork8379]

Oh Thank God, I was very concerned I wouldn’t be getting video today. Christmas miracle ❤

[@S_Hyde]

Mai Shiranui truly is something special. Must have awakened...many things in kids back then.

[@cursedex80]

Got to love the 90's commercials more interested in being edgy than in showing what the heck are they actually selling. That Eternal Champion's one could barely force itself to show like 10 seconds of the game. Hope you all have a happy holidays. EDIT: 13:33 Not being a fighting game connoisseur, I was kinda amused (yet not surprised) when seeing that Mai Shiranui has an aerial attack in which she dives boobs first into the enemy's face.
