You requested video ideas, so... Sick Day Games. You'd have two segments you could do: games that are the perfect things to play on those days when you're under the weather and just want something low-key and cheerful to keep your spirits up between the bouts of coughing and/or vomiting and/or sleeping off the funk, and games that you play on those days you might not actually be any more sick than just sick of responsibilities and need something to zone out with.

[@DarkeningDemise]

Will you ever make more videos on the Sword Art Online games?

[@austineruption]

Astal is the most “Sega Saturn” game ever. -really nice 2D sprites -god tier music -janky but charming english localization -flew under the radar when it came out -insanely expensive on eBay

[@Invidente7]

Most english translations were janky back then, the lunar games are an obvious example, but even so back then people were grateful for what they had.

[@houraisheperd9721]

@@Invidente7 Because that was often *all* we had. Working Designs was the closest to a modern day localization company, and they took a lot of liberties. Sure, we were grateful for eating dirt, but that doesn't mean anything when dirt was all we could eat.

[@elgoog-the-third]

@@houraisheperd9721 Luckily, the Lunar games got de-Working-Designs-ed (at least the Sega CD versions) by fans

[@nickiethefool1565]

What the hell man so many uploads, in all seriousness thanks for the uploads love your content

[@wingedmirage4226]

As someone who grew up with Archie Sonic comics, fun fact: Astal actually shows up as a background character at random points. He never says anything, but you’ll see him celebrating/fighting sometimes whenever there’s a large group of people. I mention this because for the longest time I had no idea who or what in the world he was supposed to be. Kid me made up my own name and backstory for him and everything lol. It was only until recently that I found out who he was and where he actually came from. So I kinda have this weird soft spot for the guy even though I’ve never played the game.

[@gamekeeper777]

They didnt slap the Die Hard license on it, it was always a Die Hard game. The Japanese version came out the month prior as Dynamite Deka because in Japan the Die Hard Rights were owed by another company. The serial numbers were filed off in Japan, not something slapped on for International release.

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure for the 3DS is shamefully overlooked among SEGA's output in the 2010s. It still boggles my mind that it never became a full-blown franchise with like five sequels and a tie-in anime series!

Die Hard Arcade is *always* fondly remembered by Matt Mcmuscles.

[@biggestfan.]

Weird coincidence.. I just clicked off his latest upload.

[@pun_dimen]

Lets get it...INTO THE RING!!

[@Hpalhazred]

SO they had the blueprint with Dynamite Cop to make a 3D Street Of Rage 4 and Sega did nothing with it?!?

[@GimpyDingo]

There is always Fighting Force 🙈

[@goranisacson2502]

Late comment but they didn't do NOTHING with it exactly- Dynamite Cop was designed by Makoto Uchida, who was SEGA's director behind Golden Axe and Altered Beast so the arcade lineage was strong, and it received a few sequels that continued to refine it's style of 3D beat-em-up as well as gave inspiration to a team at SEGA who developed the arcade / Xbox game Spikeout... a team lead by a certain Toshihiro Nagoshi... who'd later go on to create the Yakuza series, starting in 2005. Granted, Dynamite Deka was 96, Spikeout was 98, so it certainly took them a good long while until they finally made something of it, but at least they tried? Gold star for trying?

[@strain42]

My favorite Lani Minella fun fact is that she was originally the voice of Maya Amano in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, a game where Nyarlathotep is the main antagonist, and now she's the voice of Nyanlathotep in Sucker for Love, a horror dating sim with Lovecraftian waifus.

[@Y0uTubeCommentPoster]

I read that as "faster than sonic could shit a chili dog."

[@jameslawrenson1208]

Chili on hotdogs sounds delicious!

[@SocietyOfDecency]

That Space Cadet sound effect just awakened a memory of sitting in our dining room on the family computer until what felt like 3a but was probably no later than 10 when I was like 6 or 7. Man that game was awesome.

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

I was surprised that Austin didn't talk about one of the main draws of Blood Will Tell which is how the game responds to Hyakkimaru regaining his body parts such as controller vibration being enabled when you get your nervous system back and the game becoming colored once you get your eyes back. The "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" scene we saw was from when he got his vocal cords back and prior to that, Hyakkimaru's voice had a filter put on it.

[@jameslawrenson1208]

Since Sega is not sitting on their ips as much anymore, here's hoping for a sequel to Rhythm Thief.

[@steezybeatz]

I appreciate the Virtual On Oratorio Tangram mention. That game deserves way more love. Creative twin stick controls, charming graphics/presentation and some of the mechanics like damage buffs at low health were implemented in fighting games like Capcom vs. SNK 2.

[@Hugelag]

14:24 Triple Trouble was so good that it got a fan remake to make it closer to the 16 bit games on the Genesis. I encourage anyone that hasn't played it to do so if you can! So good... Bonanza Bros is my favorite Genesis game and it's a shame it doesn't get the credit it deserves for being the first co-op stealth game. A dang shame it never got a sequel or reboot, but I'm glad they made it into Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing. And shout-out to the sister series: Puzzle & Action. I love WarioWare and it's basically that with, yet again, co-op. Ichidant-R, the _second_ game in the series got a Sega Ages port a couple years ago and it even comes with the Mega Drive port. It's completely in Japanese, but the online manual has some translations. It's also an RPG and the mini-game mode supports up to 4 players. Another easy recommendation.

[@TevorTheThird]

I'm so glad Sega is still around and going strong these days. They're still easily a top 5 publisher for me, regardless of how much they've changed over the years. Note: Anarchy Reigns fucking rules!

[@Pikmin442]

Favorite Sega games: NiGHTS, Clockwork Knight, Sonic, and Ristar.

[@mbc2120]

Damn someone’s been busy

[@PluckyInc]

trivia about Clockwork Knight' 2s release, it's actually just a localization of the 1+2 compilation that was released in Japan, just with the first half locked out. but you can access it with a code. on the main menu: press up, down, left, up, left, down, right, up, L, R, L, R

[@SOULTRANADA]

Pulseman is ridiculously fun to me and I've always wanted a Blood Will Tell remake

[@frogzx]

We are eating GOOD with these uploads

[@ShinParisu]

11:00 The design and skills of Pulseman was later used as the inspiration for the Pokemon "Rotom" an electric ghost type that also can posses electric devices like a poltergeist to live inside them and grant them unique characteristics and is currently used in many everyday appliances in the pokemon world such as the Rotomdex in Alola and the Rotom phones in Galar and Paldea.

[@Mankey619]

You've been making more content man, and I love it. I love seeing more forgotten obscure games like this.

[@atmaweapon2803]

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole for the Genesis is the greatest classic Zelda-like of all time, weird controls be damned. Stick with it, and you'll find a hidden gem so bright, you will need welding goggles. It was the first video game I played that felt like an immersive, whole three dimensional world, what with the awesome isometric pixel depth. There are also romhacks that fix the controls, if you really need it.

[@GimpyDingo]

Amazing game with great graphics.

[@videogamerzero1schannel]

Very great video & surprised this came out so soon! As for forgotten Sega titles I got two in mind for that, Rhythm Thief, a very sick rhythm playing as a stylish thief named Phantom R & appreciate how it also has a charming story on top of it then there's Sands of Destruction, a mega niche DS RPG that is really good for a subversion of saving the world to destroy the world for being beyond repair plus the combat is really good & surprised not a lot of people know about it but at least give the music a listen since it was done by Yasunori Mitsuda (Did most of the Xeno games & Chrono Trigger)

[@RyukoDragonHalf]

Astal!! That's quite fun as two player, and having the bird attack the moving platforms to pause them in Sea of Clouds makes it SO much easier! And we played so much Clockwork Knight 1 and 2, even if we had trouble properly beating them - funny to think they were Keyblade wielders before Kingdom Hearts... Fantastic look back at these classics, my husband and I enjoyed going down memory lane!

[@andredevarie1]

Man you a BEAST laying out these videos like an all you can eat buffet! You like Gambit making a NAME FOR YOURSELF HERE!!

[@davidt3563]

Thank you for covering Astal!! I picked it up as a kid from the bargain bin for like 8 bucks. I went in expecting really nothing since it was "2D crap" but ended up really loving the game. Anime was still really new in my neck of the woods, only like 6 people in my school knew of it so we tried to consume anything we could. Astal went from a curiosity to a special place in my heart. The scaling, rotation and unique art make it still awesome today.

[@thomaswrightson2230]

The original four Sakura Wars titles. The OG, Thou Shalt Not Die, Is Paris Burning?, and Fall in Love, Maidens. The music alone is pure nostalgia.

[@LoliconSamalik]

This video absolutely wasn't clickbait. Like holy hell, that's a lot of games that I didn't know existed. And some of which I wanted to play! Mostly the Dororo one as well as Napple Tale. There was an unfortunate detail you did overlook about MadWorld though: it was made by Platinum Games. And holy hell, it's as gory as it is a vibe. I even contemplated wanting to play it again this year because of your vids, but then I remember I would have to use a Wii remote which keeps draining batteries til they rot even when not used.....

idk about based and cool but I have been playing video games

[@goranisacson2502]

Oh the number of games in here that has me Leo-pointing at the screen as I, a man in my thirties also relive the younger years. Ristar, Taz-games (it was the other one where Taz tries to escape an alien zoo for me though), Clockwork Knight, Die Hard Arcade (actually played it in a genuine arcade!) and Story of Thor which was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever played at the time, a clear indicator that I was a 2D-lover who'd permanently find himself on the losing end of "this thing you love is mainstream and gets a lot of love"-train... of course I then also bought and played Madworld. Kinda surprised it got THAT high scores though- game was fun but I always felt at odds with it's gameplay. Felt like you were meant to find the ways to get high-scoring kills but those weren't always the most effective kills, so I just stuck to the quickest combo to kill enemies and don't recall getting very good scores from it. Boss-fights were fun though. And props for showing off Napple Tale- I didn't even know that game existed, but it looks like just the kind of stylish game I'd love to play back then.

[@weregretohio7728]

Wonderboy In Monster World was one of those random games that crossed into my existence and I LOVED it. Ristar also shouldn't be forgotten, it's a great game :(

Crusader of Centy is one of the few I went back to buy, later in life, CIB. I was 8 or 10 when I was renting this and had no idea how good it actually was. Time travelling, animal-chatting platformer with big 'Are We The Baddies?' vibe with that outrageous color palette and amazing soundtrack. The best Link to the Past game.

[@lucinae8512]

Excluding Persona and Yakuza, my favourite Sega series is Valkyria Chronicles. While the series was popular when it first released and sold well enough, I feel like it is being slowly forgotten by Sega over time. The first and fourth games are available on modern consoles, but the second and third are stuck on the PSP (the latter wasn't even translated!) And Valkyria Revolution is..... interesting by Sega standards.

I got it back on my last day of 4th grade and never told my brother why it disappeared and magically returned months later.

[@CrossfacePanda]

Although I only played the demo back in the day, I felt The Club was kinda overlooked at the time. It felt like a unique approach to a shooter with some fun ideas. An arcade style score chaser was always gonna struggle by that point, but I feel like it could’ve done pretty okay on PC nowadays with the right presentation and an incentivizing unlock system, maybe even a daily challenge sort of thing.

[@koolaid33]

Agreed about those Sonic Game Gear games. Only found myself a Game Gear last December, got it with Sonic 2 and Sonic Chaos and just last month I picked up Triple Trouble. Chaos and Triple Trouble are my favourite games on the platform par none, and the ones I easily sunk the most hours into. They retain so much from the console entries, while still keeping with the times and being original. Triple Trouble is the better game of the two, Chaos' level design is very.. boring, or empty I suppose, and Fang The Sniper is pretty damn cool in Triple Trouble. I would avoid Sonic 2 though, it's super cheap but also extremely difficult. Like I've never beaten the very first boss of the game, and it isn't difficult in like a Dark Souls way where you build skill to beat the game, no, the first boss battle is complete luck, your on a slope that Sonic continually slides down, at the bottom is an enemy you can't kill, and you have to narrowly avoid bouncing balls (I think that's what they are?) that come at you at random intervals. Oh and did I mention there isn't a single ring in the entire stage, so if you get hit by the ball even once, or the enemy at the bottom, you INSTANTLY DIE. Most people online agree, they haven't got past the first damn boss either. If you want quality Sonic games, stick with Chaos and Triple Trouble.

[@ArcadeStriker]

Oh wow, Napple Tale at the end really surprised me...does indeed look like a game that could have gained a cult following like many other DC titles but never heard of at all until now. If you ever plan in taking a look at more forgotten SEGA games someday, you probably know there's a trove of unported or just pretty obscure stuff SEGA made for arcades.

[@austineruption]

Yeah there's almost an overwhelming amount of unlocalized stuff too. It'll take some digging for sure!

[@zigazav1]

Oh? Ancient? The company behind Gotta Protectors. An obscure 3DS so obscure, it never got DLC outside Japan beyond the soundtrack DLC. Which means there are playable Classes that are JP exclusive. They tried to promote it through a strange NES game they made that I believe was released on the Switch Eshop (it's long since been delisted. You have to track down it's NES rom to play it now) called "Amazon's Running Diet", but that way to advertise the game obviously didn't work. Then they tried again to have the Gotta Protectors franchise get the attention it needed, through Cart of Darkness, which I did buy, but unfortunately, it turned into a tower defense game with fixed loadouts and temporary growth. A tower defense game where the "tower" moves on it's own. Instead of being a strange 2D Dynasty Warriors clone like the first game was. You still though have to defend the princess from damage though. Otherwise, her intense scream of pain breaks the world, just like the 1st game in the series. It's a shame the Gotta Protectors franchise failed so much. I liked the game. The retro game references in dialog, and it's 4th wall breaking writing, really entertained me.

[@rfmerrill]

Fun fact he actually started Ancient specifically to make sonic for the game gear, because Sega said they wouldn't publish a game unless it had a company behind it. Originally the company was just him, his mom and his sister iirc.

[@WebstersYouTube]

Incredibly happy to see Die Hard Arcade and Dynamite Cop get shout outs. Fantastic games! It's a shame about that third entry, Asian Dynamite (or Dynamite Deka EX because none of these games can have the same name in every territory.)
