Fanboys Forced to Switch Sides - Game Sack

[@tubularLeah]

LOL! I love how Dave's article in 1994 reads exactly like how he talks in Game Sack episodes! haha omgg faceball adventisement (is this an advertisement or this real life?!)

"You can also dash with a dedicated button" *Plays the entire game without dashing* Seriously, if you're not dashing 90% of the time, you're not getting the full Mega Man Xperience.

Fantastic video, as always. The "Mega Power" joke never gets old, but give out a warning next time. I almost choked on my breakfast!

[@JoolsGuitar]

Hey guys, is there any chance we get a "Fanboys forced to switch sides" pt.2?

The Face Ball segment is life!

[@MrWolfTickets]

19:32 - YES!! I just stopped by to watch it for a quick pick- me- up. SR-71 sad face forever. Joe is a genius.

[@ChiliPL]

You guys are a fresh breeze among all those repetitive and monotonous YT videos. It's good to know that there are still some retro maniacs around. Thanks!

[@mylifeingaming]

I scored a nice copy of Rival Turf! at Goodwill for 4 bucks a couple of months ago. Yeah, its pretty mediocre in just about ever regard. The skinny guy's standing jump kick cracks me up - his leg is completely vertical. Lots of other goodies in this episode too, especially Robo Aleste. A great game with an awesome soundtrack. Love that stage 1 music.

[@Vampire__Squid]

Dave I hope you didn't give up on your quest for S-video cables

[@tetrisdave]

I didn't! I had to buy my cable directly from Nintendo. It was well worth it.

[@Vampire__Squid]

David White Yes S-video is a world of difference.

[@alanboro]

David White Your name is David. I'm just reminding you... in case you forget your name. Sincerely yours.... Some guy

[@tetrisdave]

I wear a bracelet with my name and home address on it. I won't forget.

[@RetroCore]

Great stuff as always! I'm not sure about sucking and swallowing monsters though :-) Oh Dave, don't worry. Chakan is a pretty bad game. You're not alone there. No doubt the Dreamcast sequel wasn't shaping up well either which is probably while the plug was pulled on it.

[@Piranhaheat]

You HAVE to do another one of these. This one of my favorite, if not favorite, GS episode.

[@KaskelotenZebbe]

The Faceball 2000 part... was probably the funniest I have ever seen in Game Sack. Gotta love it when Joe fills his voice with attitude like that :). But how many MEGA POWER does the game have??

[@typicaledc]

I loved Kid Chameleon as a kid but it was brutal as there were so many levels and no save feature. My brothers and I would stay up all night playing and writing down all the best routes so we could skip as many levels as possible to beat it.

[@TransKingFormers]

Another great feature that the original Megaman X has that none of the other sequels have is depending on which robot master you play first can affect another stage example play chill peguin stage first and defeat him and it will freeze flame mammoth stage,defeat storm eagle stage and his air fortress will crash into spark mandrill stage,defeat launch otcopus and it will flood sting chameleon stage as these results will make each of these stages much easier and if you collect all power ups and hearts and energy tanks you can find a special power capsule which doctor light teaches you how to fire a hadouken which is a one hit instant kill!

[@NolanRamler]

Excellent video! I still have that old issue of EGM with Virtua Fighter on the cover! Awesome. I didn't know Dave wrote that letter!

[@ReikazeRambles]

the faceball section was amazing.

[@playcousins293]

I don't think there will ever be a greater video game rivalry better then sega and nintendo today's Sony vs xbox is so not even fun to debate about

[@MizfitZer0]

Play Cousins because it is so 1 sided. Playstation destroys xbox with its games library. Mega Drive had an amazing library that made even the biggest Nintendo fanboys turn their heads and pay attention

[@Splozy]

@@MizfitZer0 only really true for xbone. 360 and heug were both filled with great games.

[@guerrillaradio9953]

@Heinrich the White All the cross platforms I give af about I can play. I like PS4 better because of all the cheapie Japanese ports, whether old-school or new. I had an XB1 also until xmas, just to play Forza 4. I gave it to my brother because he really struggles with money and the newest system he had was 3DS.

[@kenrickkahn]

Xbox 360 would like a word with you..

[@ShassaMMO]

I didn't like Chakan either, Dave! Too frustrating. I did beat Kid Chameleon a few times though - my attention span was way longer as a teenager, apparently. I remember calling the Sega hotline on that one, because there was this one level about halfway through where I searched for hours, not able to find an exit. It turned out that it was a trap level that indeed had no exit; if you wound up there via the branching level paths, then too bad, you had to start over! Now that's harsh.

[@tetrisdave]

Great story! I never called a Help hotline before simply because my parents would have kicked my butt for making a long distance call. I wonder what life would have been like if we had the internet in 1991.

[@ShassaMMO]

It would have been great in many ways, but a lot of magic would have been lost, as well. My kids were born into a world where you grow up knowing that Aeris dies. Conversely, I remember calling my best friend up and yelling, "OH MY GOD SAMUS IS A GIRL!"

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

ShassaMMO To be fair, I was also alive during that time and I still learned about it long before I played Metroid. While I was younger (born in '81), I either learned about it in Nintendo Power or some other publication.

[@SpiralPegasus]

ShassaMMO Is it an ice stage? As in, a mountain? That would explain why I could never beat that one.

[@ShassaMMO]

SpiralPegasus No, it's a level with nothing but bouncy blocks everywhere. Beyond that, I couldn't tell you, because it was over twenty years ago. :)

[@DJJuxtapose]

Sundays are always better with a Game Sack video! Great work, gents!

[@interestedparty7863]

One of my favorite things about Game Sack is when Joe refers to pretty much any enemy getting killed as them being "murdered." Gets me every time!

Wow, what an episode, the selection of games was really effective, even the crappy ones had a great result in the final video (wink at Faceball 2000 skit there). I love that you guys go all the way into reviewing the games and took your time to get into each one of them. I don't know how Dave got through Great Cave Offensive, I remember that being really long. Kid Chameleon isn't that famous now but magazines back in the day used to love it. Tons of great game you featured in this episode and I really loved the final skit, it was genius.

[@MarvMavro]

I love Game Sack, I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting for a new video every week, keep it up guys! Would be cool if you could do this type of fanboy video again, maybe with N64 v Saturn or the Dreamcast v Gamecube.

[@GeeDeeRuns]

Would have been really cool to see Dave play through Contra Hard Corps and Joe play through some Contra 3 Alien Wars to get some respective opinions on those. Especially since (opinion incoming) both games are extremely good for each system; both music and Gameplay wise, so it would have been nice to see if each game could still interest the other person just as much (since I'm sure Joe's already played Hard Corps and Dave's already played Alien Wars at some point anyway). Otherwise, really great episode guys; keep em coming!

[@tetrisdave]

Those are both great games. I have played Contra III more as you would expect. Good idea!

[@GamingGod1996]

Nice video, guys. Interesting idea of making you each play the others' respective console. Makes it more interesting than straight-up reviews. And I loved when Joe did the Faceball 2000 sarcastic commercial, seems like the game made him snap a bit. Looks like it'd make me have a breakdown as well.

[@crackcorn0404]

Little Nemo the Dream Master is a really good one, that I think was an NEW exclusive.

[@twicks1833]

Have you noticed how a lot of the best and rarest games come out at the end of a consoles' lifetime? These games are often overlooked in the face of new tech and can be quite hard to discover. Might make a good show one day? Comix Zone and Earthbound are more well known examples but recently I've discovered Mazes of Fate (gba) and Sega's Alien Infestation on DS which is a Sega fanboys' dream, and makes Metroid feel pretty tame!

[@tetrisdave]

You are right! I've played all the games you've mentioned except for Mazes of Fate. I've actually haven't heard of that before. Who's the developer?

[@SpiralPegasus]

David White Sarasasa entertainment, argentinian developers. (Never thought I'd say that.)

[@MsMastress]

Mega Man X3 is definitely up there too.

*Hey guys!* Here's an idea for a new episode: unloved systems. Go all out and showcase the best games of the systems everyone hates or doesn't care at all for. You guys don't like the Virtual Boy but it had 5 to 10 games that were excellent (a lot considering it only ever got 25 pieces of software...) SEGA CD and 32X got good stuff, Lynx got decent stuff, Game Gear had an _amazing_ library going for it. Also Joe thanks for the line at 4:07. Seriously, thank you.

[@SDinVeRT]

in 90's in Russia, we have'nt SNES, but have genesis clone bitman, and my favorite games on it was: Dune Alladin Road Rash 3 Top Gear 2 Rock&Roll Racing Desert Strike Red Zone Canon Fooder General Chaos

[@tetrisdave]

No SNES? I'm so sorry to hear that! But at least you got to play some good games on your Genesis clone.

[@SDinVeRT]

In early 90's, in our country, starts sales of NES clone called 8 Bit Dendy and more expensive clone Bitman 16 Bit. Later, in big cities, was possible to buy original SNES, but it was much more expensive than clones, and only few gamers was able to play on it. It was 90's in Russia.

[@tetrisdave]

Sounds like it was tough to be a gamer in the '90s. Hopefully it's easier now.

[@SDinVeRT]

Much more easier, with official price for new release abot 20$ on Steam. Console gaming is still expensive, but much more accessible with digital releases.

I still love the show and liked what you guys did there by switching things up. keep it up, and besides Patrick Roy, u guys are the best thing to ever come outta Colorado

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks!

[@dmblan82]

Personally, I think Actraiser should've been included. I know the guys reviewed it in the episode showing major differences between an original and its sequel but the game is beautiful, plays very well (although has some slow control issues in the platform section) and the Sim City-esque play during the civilization aspect is a lot of fun. Great music also.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

manuel pop Then what was it? Couldn't just be 16-bit.

[@RandomRelay]

+MetroidJunkie2007 The GBA is similar to the Mega Drive/Genesis. Their CPUs have 32-bit registers and can run both run 16-bit and 32-bit instructions, Thumb and ARM in the GBA's case. If you go by the the Mega Drive's standard then the GBA would be marketed as 16-bit while under the same standard as the SNES, considering the SNES has an 8 to 16-bit CPU, the GBA would be marketed as 32-bit.

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Leu CeaMia I'm assuming the 16-bit thing helps it backwards play Gameboy Color games?

[@Jerkwad152]

That might explain why, if you open a GBA rom in a tile editor and set it to Genesis mode, the tiles are still legible. That doesn't happen with any other combination.

[@flgreenhorn6470]

Best commercial I've ever seen Joe, Ill take 20!

[@MrJechgo]

1) The title killed me XD 2) Joe, do yourself a favor and SKIP... ENTIRELY Mega Man X6 and X7. Mega Man X5 was supposed to be the LAST game of the series before moving on to the Mega Man Zero series on GBA. However, Capcom screwed Inafune up by milking the series. The story lost its impact in X6, although the mecanics didn't get affected that much. X7 got the balls dropped on... HARD. Capcom tried to go 3D with the series and failed miserably. Furthermore, get this, they made Mega Man X, the titular character of the series... UNLOCKABLE. Yes, you start the game as Zero and newcomer Axl and have to unlock Mega Man X, who has become all emo and depressed from the war. X8, on the other hand, nearly corrected everything X7 has done wrong: they reverted to 2D gameplay, while keeping the 3D graphics, you get to select all 3 Hunters from the start, and the intro stage rotates them to get you accustomed to their abilities, the voice acting is much better, the music is more rocking, the boss battles are more straight-forward, the stages are more linear, the secret stuff utilizes each Hunter's ability. It's the better game. On a sidenote, you should also try Mega Man X: Command Mission, a JRPG-styled game and it works great. 3) That Faceball 2000 ad was awesome!

[@BBxBL]

X6 was ok

[@amspook]

The best I have played so far is X5. Never get the chance to beat X6 though....

[@MrJechgo]

David Molina Salazar Well, like I said, X6's gameplay works just fine. The problem with X6 is the story: Zero and X get shot and supposed to be destroyed for good at the end of X5. However in X6, X is revived and he gets to chance to find Zero who has been repairing HIMSELF during that period??? That doesn't add up.

[@SpiralPegasus]

MrJechgo Oh, come on, I love X6 but it was broken. It had a lot of blind jumps (with bottomless pits below of course) and the up+attack _downward_ slash was absolutely retarded. The story, yes, too, was flaky, and not translating the dialogs was just lazy. It does have the *absolute best* music in a Mega Man X game and it looks great, though.

[@MrJechgo]

SpiralPegasus I'm not saying that X6 was perfect either... the gameplay worked... most of the time, and it retained the series' major staples. The story got shafted hard, and I mean HARD. That's why it's not worth playing after X5. Same goes with X7. At least X8 was a decent recovery.

[@Rene_Soto]

I love Chakan. It was a pack-in game with my Genesis. I couldn't play well when I was a kid, but I did my best. I still haven't beat it completely because I wind up feeling like I've been playing for a long time and want to do something else. This game is gonna take me forever, man...

[@Nizondo]

If you liked Kirby Superstar, you'd love Kirby's Return to Dreamland on the Wii. It might be the best Kirby game. That's not really relevant to the retro theme of the show, but hey, maybe in your free time.

[@AmberShort]

You are right. That Kirby game on the Wii is very good. The kids also like it. I have been a Kirby fan since I was small and even to this day, that little cream puff still gives me joy.

[@getterchrist1041]

Kirby 64 will always be my favourite.

[@tetrisdave]

That is an awesome game. All the Kirby games give me great joy and I hope Nintendo/HAL keep pushing them out.

[@tetrisdave]

***** Me too Amber!

[@Locomamonk]

I would say definitely "Kirby And The Amazing Mirror" for GBA. That 2D game has really smooth animation, style and specially powers. The final power you gain is super awesome, and exploring the map and trying to connect it all is super fun. The graphics are super crisp and polished in that one too. It might be a bit too easy at times though, and even though it has extra Kirbys to help you, you'll miss your beloved helper from Super Star ;)

[@Trialwolf]

Really good episode guys. With Rival Turf it is interesting how when publishers brought game series over from Japan they just changed up the names to make them there own title despite if they were part of an ongoing series....... though it's probably either "they didn't care lets just get those games out" or "the last game didn't do as well as they hoped so maybe changing the name of the next game will differentiate enough to get more people to buy it.

[@SupraViperhead]

You'd definitely have to have an Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Mater System switch. For SMS, I'd pick Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd, Zillion, Golden Axe Warrior and Wonder Boy. For NES, I'd pick Punch-Out, Gargoyle's Quest II, Battletoads, R.C. Pro-Am and Castlevania III...or any of the Mario or Zelda games. I'd also like a Saturn vs 64 and DreamCast vs GameCube. Although the DC is closer to the 64 than the GC, the Saturn and 64 are both 5th Gen. Consoles while DC and GC are both 8th Gen. Consoles.

I like how Joe got all crap except for _MegaMan X_ and _Kirby: Superstar_ while he gave Dave some of the maybe less known but definitely more interesting games on SEGAs 16bit beast. Interesting episode for sure, thumbs up!

I'd start reconsidering friendships when you are given Rival Turf and Faceball to play. :^) Another great one, guys. The editing was kick ass!!!!!!

This is my favorite episode of Game Sack so far. Also I must ask how do you record your Genesis Joe? I recently got a Sega Genesis and i would like to record the games I own for it without use of an emulator(Because i like to be legit with playing retro games).

[@GameSack]

+bachesag Normally I use a Genesis 2 that was modded for s-video. In our later episodes we have switched to capturing via RGB. If you're going that route you'd need a Framemeister, an RGB SCART input and an El Gato capturing device.

+Game Sack Thanks alot.

[@retroalliancegaming9210]

+bachesag there's another choice. there is a box that's around 70 bucks and I kidd you not is amazing! perfect skart. I use for Sega Saturn, Sega cd/genesis,snes and even a modded Turbo 16. you don't need to spend 400 on a frameister

Oh, I can foresee how Joe will be so pleased to play Megaman X4 on the Saturn. :)

I love beat-em-ups and enjoyed the Rushing Beat series. I never played much Brawl Brothers, but I rented Rival Turf several times. It had a code where you could rename all the enemies. I had so much fun naming them as all my friends from school. It would mean little now, but it was awesome in 2nd grade. Peace Keepers was my favorite actually because it had a lot of cool easter eggs and branching pathways to select. Plus one of the coolest features allowed you to hook up the multi-tap and play 4 players arcade style. I never got to try it out though.

Also Megaman X is my all time favorite SNES game so I have to point out that at 4:37 you didnt have dash boots so you couldnt dash ahead like you wanted to. Flame mammouths weapon killed that thing instantly pretty much and allowed you to just walk on ahead.

[@videogameobsession]

Great show as always guys. Your production value is second to none. I never thought much of Magic Sword until I played it with a long distance friend on the Final Fight Double Impact game on PSN. It's really a much better experience when playing it with a friend, or perhaps even an enemy. :)

It simply cannot be overstated that Chakan is The Forever Man. And don’t you dare forget it!

[@DBoy2029]

In Mega Man X, unlike classic Mega Man, you can also charge the special weapons (well in Mega Man 2, the Atomic Fire was the first chargeable weapon, but with the X series, some of the charged special weapons even have cool abilities).
