Forgotten Games: Marvelous Another Treasure Island - SNESdrunk

[@benjaminramsey4695]

This is the sort of thing I LOVE this channel for - showing me games I never knew about that look good and interesting!

[@malik87breaker]

Benjamin Ramsey me too. But it's been in "Did you know gaming". So it's another great channel to follow. "Region locked" was the series that comes with this game

[@DGR_Dave]

Been waiting for this video for a long time on this channel! So glad you were able to cover it as it is one of my favorite SNES games...I feel like this is a game every SNES fan should experience!

[@akabwb1]

Definitely, this game is really fantastic

[@TheTruth175644]

I'm a non traditional college student, studying accounting. I'm currently a senior. (Who cares, right?) Anyway, I'm in a business ethics class that requires analysis and presentations on cases that's done in groups. One of my group members said something like, "I always ramble on or don't say enough and can't quite figure how to strike a good balance. Got any advice?" I showed this person your channel and said "I don't care if you like video games or care about them, this guy is a great presenter. You should listen to him." (Our class meets once a week). Saw that person today, and she said to me after class, I shit you not, "Like hey, do you know what emulation is, like how it works or how to do it? Like, I want to try some of the stuff in those videos I saw, but those old games are expensive, but I saw emulation or something...?" I'm like thinking... Uh..."So watching the videos helped you with presenting then? "Oh yea! He's awesome! But, you know anything about emulation or whatever?" Bro... You ruined my group member I think 😆 Have a great rest of your day!

[@cazamilfs8945]

When you don't have anything to say but end up getting the whole tissue for yourself 💩

[@MerkhVision]

Well did u end up teaching her about Emulation or not!? U better have! Its your responsibility as a retro gamer! Lol

[@Pixel_Padre]

Really nice to see this game featured. If you like SNES games that are a little different like this one, the recently translated "Stories of Ihatovo" is also totally worth checking out.

[@marlondaniels7912]

Good recommendation, just patched that and tried it out. Seems unique.

[@Larry]

Surprised NOA didn't release this game in the West as a third Startropics game.

[@dondavid6514]

because it isnt its just tooooo different and leauges and miles better in quality

[@Medachod]

​@@dondavid6514 Bro meant for marketing. Not that it would actually be comparable to one.

[@BakiX]

What a super facinating game! It's not very often I'm introduced to a 16 bit game that I have both never heard of or even seen, leave it to drunk to be the one to do so lol. Great stuff as always, and you have a great rest of your day as well.

[@ameliawright6947]

Man, I love those character sprites. They look really good!

[@Davtwan]

The swimming animation at the beginning of the video alone made me think of A Link to The Past.

[@giorgiomx]

Ohhh.., I love "A Link To The Past" art style video games

[@AndresRivas-kp3oy]

I had a Nintendo Power subscription when I was a kid and remember that article on Marvelous. I was super excited but never got to play it, only realizing years later that it never made it to America. Still looks really cool and this was a great video.

[@DoughboyJonesmk2]

Same, I remember that issue. It looked so cool.

[@ralphramsey82]

When I’m at a retro game store and see a snes game I don’t recognize, I secretly pull up This KZbin channel and watch a quick video on it lol

[@lldjslim]

Another nice video again SNES drunk, thanks to u im just now learning about some snes gems i missed out on because i had no idea

[@igorburakov40]

This is one of my favorite channels. You are the best! Keep up the good work!)

[@batz]

These guys show up as spirits in Smash Ultimate

[@BakiX]

I had no idea, thats really awesome

[@colewatson4830]

To be honest, that's exactly why I'm here. But this does look like a fun game!

[@andreatan97]

Nothing like a SNES drunk video after work! I've never heard of this game before but it's too bad it was never released in NA. Thank god for fan translations!

[@kirbyhero256]

Heck yeah, I found that Nintendo Power issue at a friend's house one day and really wanted to find out more about this game. I fell in love with it through emulation, and I actually started trying to learn Japanese to figure out what to do when a puzzle would stump me. I picked it up again recently when I learned about the translation patch, and finally beat the game. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

[@SamuraiSam]

I absolutely love love love this game!! Thanks for giving it the spotlight, Mr. Drunk!

[@retrochomp]

Thanks man, i knew about this rare gem but.... as they say, you learn every day! I did not know about the sattelivision sidequests, thumbs up!

[@ExceederDj]

Your vids are awesome man! I love the SNES and I already tried a few games that I didn't know of before coming across your channel, thanks! Looking forward to try this one

[@SNESdrunk]

Thank you for watching

[@caleblatreille8224]

just finished this about three months ago, a wonderful treat for someone who's been replaying LTTP for 20 years. don't know if i'm the only one who had 3 or 4 "where tf do i go now?" moments in the game but they were real downers, though the only kind the game offered. not even really puzzle solutions just gaps in obvious progression. thought i should mention as a warning to others but besides this, super addictive storytelling of the highest order.

[@CaptmagiKono]

That fat character looks A LOT like Pokey from Earthbound.

[@ScottyPhoton]

Oh yeah, I totally remember that magazine issue and the article. Nice video as usual.

[@FireteamYogurt]

I just played and finished this a month ago. Super fun game and holds up really well!

[@tollban]

A pitty it was not released out of Japan! This looks like a MARVEL to me.

[@ElectricOutcast]

Title card looks like something you'd see from Gilligan's Island

[@dansaikyo6664]

I want to play this NOW! THANKS for covering it cuz I'd forgotten about it!

[@violinfanatickamraz1403]

Now that you mentioned it. I remeber the article thinking that it looked like fun. There were several games I wanted to play that NP had hinted at as coming out soon.

[@steadyb1516]

Slept on! Great pick! Thanks for your consistent quality output and your hard work!

[@tiosulfate6492]

A really cool discovery here ! Thanks to you SNES Drunk :D

[@7thangelad586]

Looks like it’s worth trying “any way I can.”

[@TheVileOne]

Wow this channel always delivers. Had never even heard of this game before

[@insombik5702]

I’m so excited you did this video! I remember the Nintendo power preview from way back when and was stoked to play it aaaaannnnndddddd then it never came out. Kinda bummed to hear it’s short but still looks like a pretty unique game.

[@nobel11]

Games like this are why I bought an Everdrive.

[@louiskeiflin5858]

Another game I never heard from the snes! Thank you so much for uncovering it SNESdrunk! You are the best! =D

[@DhinCardoso]

This game looks so marvelous! I fell sorry for some games shadowed by the N64 launch! Some of them truly masterpieces like FRONT MISSION GUN HAZARD

[@8thLife]

This *totally* looks like my kind of game! 🙏

[@caranaworld]

This game looks just up my alley. I never heard about this before. Thanks!

[@inceptional]

1:49 Well, this is interesting. One of the very few examples of high-res gameplay on the SNES. I don't actually see anything that looks particularly high resolution there mind you, but at least it's being used.

[@NoHandleThisIsntTwitter]

Simply put, it’s marvelous.

[@ar9907]

I like hearing about these games before my time, there are a lot of games i've yet to experience and this channel is brilliant to discover about these games

[@Nintegageo]

I adore this game. Great choice.

[@Dj.D25]

I do remember seeing that game in that issue of Nintendo Power. It did surprise me a bit that the game wasn't released in the U.S. since the character names and artwork look like they would appeal to western audiences. Maybe if the game was made sooner it could have been released in the U.S.

[@abraxaseyes7]

Remember having this issue and wanting/imagining this game.

[@Londonlink]

Legend of Zelda four Swords

[@reagandow850]

The best way to start your day.....snesdrunk!

[@Zezlemet]

Could swear I saw this in an old Nintendo power

[@TheSchmuck2]

Oh my god we missed out on so many great games made in Japan... because they were made at the end of the Super Famicom / SNES life cycle! 😭

[@Mr.Sojiro]

Shame Nintendo was moving onto the N64 and we missed out on this game, it looks great, a bit different than what you typically saw on the console.

[@LordAethrod]

Played this game before, highly recommend it's a great game and no one ever talks about it

I found fascinating the SNES had so much more to offer , if only they had released the N64 3 years later ,we could have enjoyed gems like this.

[@frozenaorta]

Another great review. I know you tend to stay in the 16-bit genre, but I've wondered if you've ever played the PS1 game, Alundra. It's very much a spiritual successor to Landstalker, but plays more like A Link to the Past. It's a phenomenal game that really looks like it belongs on the SNES, which is how I first found it. Check it out.

[@WhiffleBoy255]

Yes! Thank you for covering this game. I love your channel. Have you played Bushi Seiryuuden?

[@tximinoman]

This sounds awesome, I'm definetly going to look it up

[@rockajabroni5975]

I played this game just last year and the originality and innovation stunned me. This is on Secret of Mana 2 level as best title not to be given a worldwide release. And the storytelling on the second island was just amazing, anime worthy.

[@arcadeperfectreviews2653]

The main 3 characters in this game are spirits in smash Bros.

[@tupaj123]

What a great looking game. I will have to play this.

[@thesecretofmana]

Marvelous fun fact, SRAM is double that of Super Mario RPG

[@MFGBG123]

Looks like a really interesting and fun game, too bad it was never reelased outside Japan. Thanks for giving it attention!

[@SNESdrunk]

Thank you for watching Martin

[@benjamin_burke]

Hey Snes Drunk, I love your content! I was wondering if we can expect a Super Famicom RPGs part 6? You could do for example Dragon Quest I & II, Dragon Quest III (the Super Famicom ports), Magical Land of Wozz, Tengai Makyou Zero, Ancient Magic, Adventures of Hourai High, Dark Law ~ Meaning of Death, Metal Max Returns; there's a ton of them out there. Also, a video on the three Super Famicom Fire Emblem games? I joked earlier in the year that you'd be done with the entire SNES library by the end of the year, but there are a ton of games, especially Japanese games, that you have yet to cover.

[@SNESdrunk]

At this point I'd rather just give all those games their own videos

[@emfs9522]

I hope you have a great rest of your day SNES drunk. You will be getting that silver button before you know it.

[@dondavid6514]

i just finished the game and oh my i want a sequel its soooo good

[@danholo]

Never heard of this one! Thanks Mr. Drunk! Looks like a it uses LttP's "engine". It's all there, just a sprite rework.

[@krisc1684]

Just FYI, Eiji is pronounced "ayy-ji". Love this channel man, you're doing amazing!

[@backinthedaygamer]

You had me until “heavy on puzzle solving” lol

[@rockajabroni5975]

Believe me they are not dumb random puzzles. Its like Indiana Jones or Uncharted type of things.

[@YouFightLikeACow]

This one seems legit cool. I might check it out

[@EditKingNumber5]

the 3 heroes are a Spirit in Smash Ultimate!

[@Costikeke]

never heard of the game, thank you for recommending!

[@marcobattiston1702]

This game seems really really cool. And I have never heard of it before.

[@Awnos]

Started playing this yesterday, as soon as I had to follow the monkey I was reminded of Majoras mask, Aonumas fingerprints are all over this.

[@deltonviera2051]

Love your show😉

[@jaymethysell5111]

You sold me on "this game is short."

[@josephhuffman2757]

This game looks pretty cool.

[@harrysmith5206]

one of the best videos

[@armand4116]

Wow this game looks great , so many hidden gems only for japan.

[@justanotherandrew7421]

Love your content.

[@Seegtease]

I was so hyped about this game when I saw it in Nintendo Power. I don't know why, it just looked really interesting at the time.

[@the1ucidone]

Great video as always. Would you review Solomon's Key on the NES?

[@BakiX]

Thats an awesome game lol

[@miamimagicians]

A really really fun game I highly recommend is blaster master if you have not played yet

[@Seaoftea]

Just finished this game. It was awesome, can anyone tell me if you can get marvelous at the end? Also were the maps all glitched in the last level?

[@noaht2005]

I though RPM Racing and SD3 were the only high res snes games. This looks really interesting

[@WanArk86]

Sweet, another game to be add to my SNES game file

[@rickylovesyou]

Well this slipped under the radar. Maybe because of the box art.

[@VitaEx]

Cool I actually didn’t know about this one ty

[@G44]

Looks fun! What's the expected playthrough time?

[@baconlabs]

Oh! This was put on the Switch's Super Famicom app some time ago, looks really fun but I'm gonna have to emulate it and get the translation patch in order to understand what the heck I'm doing All I've managed to do so far is fish up some goggles and bully a rat

[@jumpman9141]

Earthbound and a link to the past had a baby

[@mrtea7562]

Looks amazing

[@h8reset194]

I know i'm late but i really wanna try this one, can anyone give me a tip on how i translate the game ? Thx in advance o/

[@jamesoffutt2801]

I'm going to headcanon this game, as in taking place 3 years after link defeated Ganon. Another side of the world with different problems.

[@joelman1989]

HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS GAME???? I've never felt the need to use all caps. In my 17 years of internet use. This is the first time.

[@waliddjidane984]

Does anyone has a link to download a rom patched???

[@Canalcanal77]

Hello, do you know who is the creator of the ost of this game?

[@fefyfona4318]

Found out about this game from the Nintendo Switch Online Famicom version. It looked interesting but too bad I can't read Japanese and sadly it's not on the Switch SNES online

[@FoxFandango]

I tried playing this game but everytime I tried the English patch the text was really squashed up and unreadable.

[@SNESdrunk]

There's two English patches, you have to patch the game twice

[@robl9767]

Another great video for a system I could give a flying bleep about yet I can't not watch for some reason heh.

[@Pridetoons]

About fucking time!

[@sjf4405]

If Wes Anderson made a Snes game.

[@WhispyWoods.]

Looks like an awesome game. Wow.

[@thingsiplay]

Funny, I posted this game as hidden gem yesterday in a thread in RetroPie forum. Btw, there are ton of more games I recommend, have a look: retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17047/share-your-hidden-gems-and-insider-tips/217

[@eof6270]

Absolutely fantastic game. The ending was a letdown tho.
