Edo is the old name for Tokyo, so the title is literally "Tokyo Fang." Also the final boss's name is a reference to the Tokugawa Shogunate of the Edo period. Music in this game is supposed to be interesting, using Japanese instruments like the shamisen. Riot/Telenet's best games were on the PC Engine in Japan, such as the edgy adventure RPG Exile and the Bubble Bobble-like Pop n' Magic.

@@dieinfire920 You don't always have to translate "の" as "of." You can just treat it as a "の adjective." Like 日本の食事: "Japanese food," instead of "food of Japan." Tokyo Fang sounds more natural in English, which is what you want in a translation. Don't let the Japanese make the English awkward. Just my opinion. の has other uses besides "of" in Japanese anyway (like nominalizing verbs), so it's not a one-to-one correspondence.

I really enjoy watching your reviews. Not only do you expose me to some games that I've never heard of before, but you make a lot of comparative observations of games I am familiar with, which makes the new flavor more immersive to me. I also like how you refer to previous reviews during new ones, and your personal experiences of these games that you review. I read a lot of books, and your reviews make me think of an ongoing compilation of short stories all connected at the root. I'm never commented on a video of yours before, I just figured that it was due time to let you know that I really appreciate your work.

3:11 2050 A.D. Tokyo. A transport trailer carrying a top-secret powered suit prototype was stolen by a lawless group of vicious terrorists. Full disclosure: I left a part out. The terrorists are introduced, literally translated, as "牙をむく (kiba o muku) of lawlessness violent terrorists". "kiba o muku" means "to bare one's fangs" or "to snarl", but I don't understand how it's being used in this sentence. My first instinct was that it's the name of the terrorist group, but it would almost certainly be in quotes if that were the case. A direct translation would imply something like "a group of snarling vicious terrorists" but my Japanese isn't strong enough to make that assumption without more context and given that kiba (fang) is in the game's title I didn't want to leave that word out. It could also be a colloquial phrase that means something like "attacked", "threatened to attack", "revealed their intention", or "revealed themselves" or something like that. But again, I have no actual earthly idea lol

Cool video! As a game developer, there's one thing that REALLY bothers me about this game. It's how the slicing animation stops the player from running. You're running at breakneck speeds, your legs should continue to run while you slice enemies. This is a small BUT very impactful detail. It ruins the immersion for me. Not sure how this wasn't addressed way back when.

Might just be me, but I kinda always disliked that "cool pixelated effect" when that statue boss takes damage. It was a really easy effect to program on the SNES, so a lot of games used it; but none really used it in a way that justified the way it looked within the context of the game. And from a visual interest standpoint, even the sine-wave hblank-offset trick so common in 16 bit games looks cooler to me.
