[@GameSack]

What are some sequels you think went unnoticed by most people?

[@SchutzBoysband]

Rap Jam Vol 2.

[@BlueflagAlpha]

RC Pro Revenge, a sequel to re volt

[@ClexYoshi]

Star Control 3 for the PC comes to mind, but that's moreso because people want to forget that game happened. if you're willing to cover a Wonderswan Color game, there's Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future? Or how about Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special: Dominated Mind on the playstation? that's kinda the last Fatal Fury game to have the original cast before Garou: Mark of the Wolves...!

[@metachuko]

ANIMAL CROSSING!!!!!

[@Ptkeela]

Sonic 2

[@squishsquishimafish6348]

Every single Game Sack ending skit leaves me going "What the hell was that?!" and are one of my favorite aspects of your channel. Keep it up, Joe! Fantastic work as always!

[@matttherrien9608]

I love the sarcasm of the TurboGrafx episode. Seen it?

[@BoozeAholic]

I was expecting Joe to talk about "Greeenn Doggg!" in his end-skit, but the Animal Crossing gag was still pretty funny.

[@genericcharacter9319]

This one I actually got for a change. It's a throwback to the old Local Public TV broadcasts you would see.

[@osurpless]

@@genericcharacter9319 Yep, reminds me of when I caught the majority of a broadcast that was essentially the first walkthrough (circa 2000) for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on local access channels. Think the guy mostly played until the first encounter with Nemesis (with the same monotone, camera shy presentation style), but still left an impression. Even though I had beaten the game like 15 times by the time it aired…

[@wagwagz6062]

the end skits have always been my fave part

[@STB]

Rastan speaks German. :D 3:56 "Ich bin dein Gegner" -> "I'm your opponent" and 4:02 "Ich hack dich in Stücke" -> "I cut you to pieces"

[@mariotraxler1486]

Ooohhh,noch ein deutschsprachiger "game sack"- Fan!!!!!

[@killaken2000]

Thank you for the translations

[@humpadimpfe958]

samma scho drei

[@sburk.87]

lol gar nicht bemerkt :D

[@badbirdkc]

That ending was actually kinda scary. I thought Joe was going to get attacked by the monster from It Follows.

[@SchutzBoysband]

Game Sack is easily within my top 10 sacks. EASILY

[@branscombe_]

ahaha

[@JSchaffer214]

I can confidently say, Game Sack is my second favorite sack.

[@anthonyaronowitz2884]

The final seconds of the ending skit really hits home. Sincerely, a 40-something father of 3 who's buying a Switch just to play Animal Crossing.

[@TurboNutterBastard]

@A Spirit Mario is for babies.

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

@@TurboNutterBastard neither are for babies.

[@JonathanHenry]

That skit was fantastic. We never know what to expect. You sir, have a gift.

[@joshjohnson3442]

That awesome satisfactory feeling when you pop in Crazy Taxi and you’re met with “All I Want” from The Offspring. It gets you pumped for some racing around town.

[@superhavi]

The character is speaking German with a thick Japanese accent in Warrior Blade. At 3:56 the character says "Ich bin dein Gegner" = "I am your enemy". At 4:02 he says "Ich hack dich in Stücke" = "I'll hack you into pieces".

[@Nervensaege]

Right, but I don't hear any japanese accent at all

[@superhavi]

@@Nervensaege That's because the sample quality is quite low and they chose the words wisely. Those two sentences can be transcribed into katakana quite easily and will sound very convincing. German does work surprisingly well in katakana. That's the reason why so many manga and anime characters have german sounding names. He actually says イーシュ・ビン・ダイン・ゲグナー and イーシュ・ハック・ディッシュ・イン・スティック

[@Nervensaege]

@@superhavi Well, I am german, and I know how a japanese accent sounds in my language. And this doesn't. It sounds a bit robotic and acted, but not like an accent. If it was spoken by japanese, they did very well. But it sounds more like crappy robotic voice over from a native speaker.

[@crosstie417]

As a teenager in the 90s and spent my fair share of time at the arcade I have never seen a side by side arcade screen. What a cool concept

[@mxggo9046]

The beauty in rayman games just kept getting better and better; more lush more vibrant.. Wow.

[@chexmixkitty]

That end skit takes me back to the start of Game Sack with that impeccable acting.

[@555rgne]

Holy crap, that ending.

[@bobbyserpent]

Oddly enough bur Rastan speaks German in Rastan III. The voice clips included say 'I am your enemy' ('ich bin dein Gegner') and 'I hack you into pieces' ('ich hack dich in Stücke').

[@Randini1977]

Beat me to it. Weird it's German.

[@actionvestadventure]

When i played Warrior Blade on MAME back in the day, i thought it was a prototype. A Japanese game that speaks German and the spell names look like place holders.

[@TurboNutterBastard]

I'd guess that it's a Conan/Schwarzenegger reference considering that Schwarzenegger is Austrian.

[@DuckAvenger]

Nothing like watching game sack on a barely Sunday morning

[@crtgamer2355]

Galaga 88, no one talks about that sequel EVER!! And it's a great game with beautiful graphics.

[@btr3k]

Love Galaga 88, one of my favorites on the Turbobrafx under its updated name.

[@kevintrjohnson]

Or Galpus.

[@btr3k]

@@kevintrjohnson True, imagine my surprise to see the "NES Version" of Gaplus on the Namco Museum Archives. Like hey, someone remembered this game!

[@roxynano]

Not only Galaga 88, but have you guys played Galaga Arrangement? It is actually an updated version of Galaga 88 & is my favorite version of Galaga.

[@Pikaso1986]

3:56 is german. He says "ich bin dein Gegner." Which means "I'm your enemy."

[@Guernicaman]

The 360 version of Rayman 3 is also available on Xbox One & Xbox X|S via backwards-compatibility.

[@rebeccasam3434]

Good to mention that! I wouldn't mind trying it again, and yay for backwards compatibility!

[@Guernicaman]

@@rebeccasam3434 - Indeed! Wish the program was still active. So many games have yet to become backwards-compatible.

[@IntyMichael]

The guy in Rastan III says in German: Ich bin dein Gegner - I'm your opponent. ;)

[@n_n_n_n_n_n]

Great sound editing in the skit, Joe.

[@Pholiage]

What editing?

[@Jesse__H]

@@Pholiage the sound editing.

[@tangentspace]

I started watching expecting Blaster Master: Blasting Again and was treated to an even more forgotten sequel

[@Kain5th]

left out the gameboy and gameboy color games though. oh well lol

[@rebeccasam3434]

@@Kain5th I think I played and disliked the GBC one, and I'd have liked to have seen it...I'm guessing I tried it and got stuck, but I don't really have any memories of it.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

The end with the very scary drunk dad perhaps? Reminds me of my early teens, from 1989 on. The very same man that screams in your video? Was my step dad. And do you know what I did to get over the fear of his drunk and destructive ways? Play video games and guitar. I love what you do dude.

[@samjam64]

You should put together a skit compilation. This one was amazing 😂😂😂

[@firisrozley5768]

Ah yes, Rayman 3 where the ending part of this game that said "See you in Rayman 4", which made me feel sad. Given the current situation of Ubisoft + Rabbids' popularity, we would never being able to have a proper ending to Rayman's 3D platforming adventure.

[@jimkrom]

Actually in Rastan 3, the wizard will attack enemies with magic (not only though) NOT when the mood hits him, but when Rastan hits him.

[@actionvestadventure]

Yeah, odd mechanic that you have to abuse the poor wizard to get him to cast spells heh.

[@juliab1954]

I liked that ending skit, it was good

[@drunkensailor112]

"Nobody takes themselves less serious than Sega." That's the perfect explanation of Sega and how great their old games still are.

[@rockdesu]

I hope no one has forgotten Dave.

[@Ruudos]

Does a Dave 2 exist?

[@Digi123]

who?

[@Write-Stuff]

@@Digi123 Surely you jest.

[@karnagefails333]

Dave is now a Fed Ex God.

[@joec9958]

Wow, think that's the first time I've heard the original Crazy Taxi music on KZbin. Very brave!

[@ihave7sacks]

Thank YOU for being game sack.

[@Bloodreign1]

For Rastan, I have the trilogy, thanks to the Japanese PS2 Taito Memories compilations, which has all 3 games.

[@keithseratt5926]

I don't know what magic you do with the end of your episodes but these sketches are top-tier entertainment. Nine times out of 10 I could be having a terrible day but whenever I see the end bumper all those negative feelings Fade Away. You're awesome I love what you do keep up the great great work Joe and thank you.

[@lemn8]

The ending was awesome! 😄

[@vtrip_]

every other saturday get a new game sack! this just made my night.

[@moonbilal707]

Glad I gave you an idea for the episode about forgotten video game sequels.

[@coolen]

Both Ape Escape 2 and 3 seem forgotten compared to the first game even though they're just as good if not better

[@eternal3279]

I loooooved Ape Escape 2

[@deathmeowtal1503]

Which was the one on the psp?

[@MateusAuri]

@@deathmeowtal1503 On The Loose... it's a mostly faithful adaptation of the first one, but I think it feels weird without the right analog stick

[@num488]

Kinda like how Million Monkeys is a sequel to Pumped and Primed. Then again I don't think anyone really talks about those two. Shame cause they're decent.

[@pal-of-pals]

Rayman 3 was one of my first PS2 games back in 2003 and I've loved it ever since.

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

Same, except on the PC. Got a demo disk for it in a Happy Meal and that's what got me into video games in the first place.

[@startedtech]

Accidentally fell asleep at 9 last night, I guess the Sack is a good way to start my day.

[@Pewpewpew182]

I was today years old when I found out Rastan had a part 3. Seriously Joe, my mind is blown today. Thank you

[@MyRetroLife]

WOW I had no idea that Rastan 3 beat 'em up existed. Looks incredible quite honestly. Thanks for the great episode Joe

[@Dakarus]

That ending was so good

[@jtrevorscott]

This was the best end-of-show skit you've done.

[@loki.odinson]

This was an EXCELLENT episode! Certainly some sequels in there that I had no idea existed. Thank you!

[@shiningphantasy1393]

A couple come to mind; Rygar: The Legendary Journeys for PS2 was released and quickly overlooked (It's regrettably not a great game and didn't really stand out among the many similar releases) and Battletoads In Battlemaniacs for SNES was very attractive visually but didn't really move the needle like the first game did, although I played it quite a bit up until stage five which I never understood how to properly navigate. One more is the sequel to Nights (Journey into Dreams) that came out for Wii but I never played it.

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

Rygar on PS2 is great, wth are you talking about?

[@sjake8308]

I bought Rygar back when it came out and the only thing I remember about it is that it was solidly mediocre.

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

@@sjake8308 lol

[@spibbymcgoo4877]

There was also an expanded version of that Rygar on…Wii I think?

[@actionvestadventure]

Last year i was thinking about Rygar and remembered it made the jump to 3D. So i managed to get it on the cheap but have yet to play it.

[@rotallyPumpered]

Lemmings had a bunch of sequels nobody seems to remember. Lemmings Paintball, The Adventures of Lomax, Lemmings Revolution and the EyeToy compatible PS2 reboot are some of the most obscure.

[@menhirmike]

Heart of the Alien was the sequel to Another World/Out of this World, but as a Sega CD exclusive, I guess it's mostly forgotten nowadays.

[@jimkrom]

It actually was not. Reportedly, "quickly after it was released, Chahi made a public statement that the title did not represent his vision of the world he crafted and disowned it altogether from being treated as an official sequel."

[@marcsm2008]

The best part about Heart of the Alien is that it includes a remake of the first game. A GOOD remake, with a great soundtrack and without the horrible slowdowns from the Snes and Genesis versions.

[@RappingNinja]

@@jimkrom unfortunately, it’s the only sequel we’ve got!

[@TurboNutterBastard]

@@jimkrom Unfortunately Chahi doesn't get to decide what's cannon and what's not as the IP belongs to the publisher, Delphine Software.

[@jimkrom]

@@TurboNutterBastard ok first of all, virgin published heart of the alien, not Delphine. Then, there is the matter of Chahi actually being the only one deciding whether it IS a sequel or not, like it or not. To give you a very blunt example, middle earth enterprises own the rights to lord of the rings. You think that if they decide ro publish a random fantasy book taking place in Tolkiens universe, it will make it a sequel just because they said so??? Case closed.

[@nigelhighlands3131]

That's gotta be one of my favorite Game Sack stingers of all time lmao

[@ronindebeatrice]

He's so awkward.

[@matthewstone5310]

Hey, Joe. Thanks for all your hard work making "Game Sack" episodes! I also enjoy your Crunch compilation videos. Keep 'em coming! And I hope you and Dave are both doing well.

[@melancholas]

Rastan speaks German? “Ich bin dein Gegner" (= I am you opponent) Rastan 3 looks awesome. But that Outro, when your "Dad " came downstairs was a little scary.

[@GameSack]

I didn't intend for it to be scary, but as I was editing it I could definitely feel that. The scariness amused me. So I redid "Dad's" voice so he got even closer.

[@jcags]

More endings like that one PLEASE

[@clarafedde8674]

Blaster Master overdrive is best left forgotten. Now the zero trilogy is a must. Great vid Joe.

[@idklol4197]

that ending was exactly what my childhood was like

[@martinde-serres8724]

Here are a few additional things that could've been mentioned in the Rayman section: - while minor, all versions of Rayman 1 had some differences in level designs - every version of Rayman 2 is different from one another in terms of presentation, level design, boss fights, and in the case of the PS1 version, standard voice acting not gibberish voice acting - Rayman 2 also came out on the DS and the 3DS, the former being based on the N64 version while the latter was based on the Dreamcast one - Rayman 3 also got 2 GBA games: the first one being a traditional 2D version of the game and the second is a direct continuation of the story

[@Be_LFullStreams]

The Jaguar version was also vastly different than the others due to limitations of the cartridge/console

[@3dmarth]

I wondered if he was going to mention the GBA games. (I never thought that Rayman 3 on console was obscure.) Actually, it would be interesting to see an episode about good portable installments of games. It's easy to say, "oh, this is probably just the same game that's on console, but worse", but I've heard of portable renditions that are better than the console one. Sonic Boom is reportedly a lot better on 3DS than on Wii U, for example, as it's a completely different game.

[@marcelocarrapatoso4460]

Great video. Congrats, Joe.

[@mx3fto]

Thank you so much for all these years of content man. You never disappoint :)

[@Subfightr]

Ugh that skit at the end brought back bad memories. Honestly made me anxious as he excellently made it sound like his "dad" was coming down the stairs and ever closer.

[@sneakyskunk1]

There were some fascinating entries in this video. I loved the first Rastan quite a bit, so seeing that it had that third entry blew me away! Also, I had no idea Blaster Master had any sequels beyond Blasting Again. Yet another great video from Game Sack!

[@ChanningKing]

I love the wider aspect ratios of Taito’s 2- and 3-monitor setups. I’m surprised Hamster hasn’t brought “Warrior Blade” home as part of its Arcade Archives line.

[@MaverickStrife]

WinGroove yes! I thought I was the only person who used and remembered that fine piece of software :) It made all MIDI sound fantastic, whilst also using up so much CPU time I couldn't do anything else at the same time

[@btr3k]

A local arcade had Solvalou, the 3D follow up to Xevious. I really enjoyed the visuals and great remix of the Xevious song, but I never see anyone bring it up.

[@DarkReturns1]

That ending skit was just the best lmao 🤣😂

[@gregsmith9183]

Must have been living under a rock to miss knowing about Rayman 3.

[@ProgSnob14]

The end sketch is hilarious

[@rockandrule1]

I just wanted to let you know that you make my weekends with these videos, thanks for your hard work Joe.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

I love Rastan! 🗡 Even the SMS game is good. But, to properly play Warrior Blade, you need to blast some Manowar. 🤘

[@thisisnotachannel]

I always considered "The Simpsons Road Rage" to be the spiritual successor to Crazy Taxi 2... never knew there was a part 3!

[@Jppen]

Simpsons Road Rage was the one that played like Crazy Taxi, Hit & Run was more like a Simpsons Grand Theft Auto.

The original Blaster Master on NES. A true gem and in my top 10 games of all time!

Yes! You have amazing taste as usual. The first Blaster Master is still a freaking masterpiece of a game for the NES with some of the best music ever heard on the system. Wish we would get some decent ROM hacks for it! Would love to see some new world designs to be able to explore.

4.02 minutes : "Ich bin dein Gegner" is German and Translated to English "I am your Challenger". Love this Channel. Or in German. "Ich Liebe Diese YT Kanal". I do too and look forward to every episode. So much catching up to do as well and that of which I have seen is just Fantastic...... 1st class entertainment. Thank you @Gamesack

Rastan 3 looks absolutely amazing. I also enjoy how the death screams sound like when you mess up playing bop it.

[@Mentski]

"Warrior Blade: Rastan Vs Barbarian" is not only a tenuous sequel to the Rastan games, but a sequel/reboot to a couple of UK-made games made by Palace Software: Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior, and Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax (renamed to "Death Sword" and "Axe of Rage", and released by Epyx in the US). Palace was sold to Titus in the 90s, and this was their attempt to do something with the property..

[@lstairvideos1330]

Thanks for showing off warrior blade, probably my favorite beat ‘em up of all time :) it’s like a Conan panel come to life

[@markula_4040]

It's strange how Blaster Master always felt like a single game franchise. I knew of the ones on Genesis and Playstation but no one talks about them or regards them anywhere close to classics like the original. But now with the Zero trilogy, the franchise is almost 10 games deep.

[@Ryuujin1078]

It felt like a single game?! Well I can’t blame you as the others mentioned aside the PS1 version and the zero trilogy weren’t hyped at all.

[@koztech]

WinGroove! Ran like crap on my Pentium 120, but I still enjoyed messing around with it. Eventually got a SB AWE32.

[@DoomPlague]

I eventually got a AWE64 but I still used Wingroove for pretty much all of my standalone midi listening. Namely game music recreations.
