Franchise Killers 2 - Game Sack

[@awelcruiz]

Kazooie is a female, Joe.

[@GameSack]

No! Xe's genderfluid!

[@MatthewShannonEco]

I think the eggs should have made that clear.

[@rig85]

First thing I did (at the BK segment) was head for the comments to see where this comment was... ...and it was pinned!

[@GameSack]

Maddie Shan are you ASSUMING that because xe lays eggs that xe MUST be female?

[@level94836]

Game sack check your white privilege, who are you to ASSUME that kazooie is genderfluid?!!?!?!

[@geraldesparza310]

63 year old gamer here. Colecovision was my first system. You guys ain't pretty or fancy. It's substance. Feelin' it. Entertaining stuff. Thanks!

[@gordonwhyte1553]

Gerald Esparza, yess: Zaxon, Time Pilot, Carnival, Smurf. Good stuff.

[@jakehopt]

Yikes that's what we call a backhanded compliment lol.

[@preston9668]

Now that Konami is ran by a crazy Yakuza boss who hates video games the only Silent Hill games we'll get will be Pachinko machines :(

[@pgmnitram]

Silent Hill Kart Racers gonna be amazing.

[@radiomacron2475]

Silent Fighters II is better imo 🤣

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

Weirdly enough, Konami did make Krazy Kart Racing for mobile phones that had Pyramid Head as a playable character...

[@TheLoneGameMan]

Mighty No. 9 killed the Mighty No. 9 franchise

[@mattford6848]

TheLoneGameMan yeah i guess a good game can kill a franchise just as much as a bad game can

[@joeyjojoshabadoo2508]

TheLoneGameMan what about mighty gunvolt?

[@Hijynx87]

Mighty Gunvolt was good, much better than MN9.

[@marioandloveyaplushmasters3374]

Sonic 06.

[@KTF0]

I never played Mighty No. 8

[@g1nobleteam]

None of these series are dead, they're just resting in the farm upstate.

[@Blueflag04]

g1nobleteam and they left the keys inside the house .....

[@THEGREATMAX]

Sonic Ace 24 and Unseen Samurai - You don't get the joke. Please stop.

[@THEGREATMAX]

It's just an old lie parents used to tell kids when their pets died. The simpsons even did it

[@GatorRay]

+g1nobleteam LOL!

[@SmaMan]

Actually, you could say Castlevania kind of escaped wearing Metroid’s husk, since MercurySteam would go on to make Metroid: Samus Returns. Isn’t it great when a company is allowed to make Metroidvania, instead of whatever the hell LoS was?

[@UziGameGP]

Hey Game Sack during the Earth Worm Jim 3 video you mentioned lots of games/franchises made a good jump from 2D to 3D, perhaps a good idea to showcase these in a Game Sack episode?

[@sozaj]

Great Idea!

[@KWKBOX]

I prefer Sackdays over Sundays.

[@tetrisdave]

Hey Thanks for the shirt! It fits and it's a good design. Nintendo forever!

[@KWKBOX]

My pleasure Dave! I am glad it got to you safely, you know considering Joe and all.

[@awetistic5295]

I will never get over Silent Hills being cancelled. It could have brought back one of my all time favorite game series with a vengeance.

[@tymcbee]

Most Konami Franchises died when they started outsourcing them to Western developers.

[@jsc315]

tymcbee Konami killed itself by being an awful business not giving a crap about it's games, developers and prefer making pachinko machines.

[@BLY99]

Joshua Chap Actually Konami is an excellent business, it is highly profitable and booming.

[@chdreturns]

BoloYung I wish it wasn't

[@callak_9974]

The last segment about Magical Quest, it wouldn't be Capcom's decision to continue it, but Disney's. They probably had a contract to make a certain number of games. So if you want more, Disney would have to allow it.

[@0Fyrebrand0]

What's funny is that Capcom is technically back to making games for Disney, since they do the Marvel vs Capcom series, and Marvel got bought by Disney. It's a few steps away, of course, but I wonder if somehow Disney could be a bridge between Capcom, and Square Enix who handle the Kingdom Hearts series that has the actual "Disney" branded stuff. Square and Capcom are both Japanese companies who have worked together before, and both have represented the Disney brand excellently. I would LOVE to see a three-way partnership result in some crazy cross-over magic.

[@ElbowDropMO]

I thought somebody would say something about Magical Quest 3 being released in 1995 on the GBA...

[@kaizerkoala]

With the current state of Capcom, it has better stay this way.

[@AlucardsQuest]

Considering how they kind of screwed up Ducktales and Castle of Illusion remakes, (not to mention the blunder of handing Star Wars to EA) Disney clearly doesn't know what they are doing with video games.

[@blazedyasa]

@@AlucardsQuest Ducktales remake was awesome, the Castle Of Illusion remake sucks though.

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

"Donald plays exactly the same as Mickey, so I play as him since I like him better" - Immediately shows an example of how outfits between the two characters have completely different mechanics, from attack jabs/arcs, to swimming

[@beachwind7274]

What about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5?

[@godzilla7391]

Allan Biala Exactly. They should go back to their routes. I still play the Dreamcast version occasionally and Underground.

[@g1nobleteam]

That series died twice due to them doing yearly releases eventually leading up to the hot release of Tony Hawk Ride and Shred after being upstaged by the Skate series, and Pro Skater 5 doing the same again with no expectations. Shame Neversoft is merged with Infinity Ward and is just another part of the Call of Duty cycle.

[@DijaVlogsGames]

Allan Biala That one didn't die because of 5, but because Activision lost the Tony Hawk license.

[@Hijynx87]

THPS died well before that. THUG 2 was the last good one IMO, I guess American Skateland was good too (though masked by the tiredness of the franchise), I never tried it.

[@GatorRay]

+AllanBiala The only thing that died was Activision's contract with Tony Hawk. Another publisher (Probably EA) is bound to get the rights at some point and bring the series back.

[@roryrevolution2348]

Usually when I try to watch some youtube channel I have never heard of, they don't keep my attention and I get bored of them quickly. Not you guys though, I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I have binge watched a tons of your videos in just a short few days.

[@tetrisdave]

Awesome and Thanks!!!

[@control_issues]

Was nice meeting you guys at Retropalooza!

[@iwonderifthisislegal]

You guys didn't suck back in the day. Those are the ones that I started out watching... And I watch them all... All the time. Everyone finds their voice, and you guys definitely have. Easily the best on KZbin.

[@mentalpatientMp]

I dunno about you guys but I've been falling asleep to these videos recently. Video game goodness before sleep is happiness!

[@GodofBoris]

I’m doing the same haha

[@konversion]

Haha, the skits at the are so dumb but equally awesome.

[@FinalBaton]

Nailed it ^_^

[@KungFuFishy]

The Onimusha series is totally worth a mention. We haven't seen an entry since Dawn of Dreams on the PS2, and that mobile game that came out a few years back. I can't say either really killed the series, but where the hell is Onimusha!? Perhaps one of them is to blame?

[@darkwitchclaire]

Kung Fu Fishy Or the fact that Capcom isn't willing to invest in anything that isn't Street Fighter, MvC, Resident Evil, or Monster Hunter these days.

[@maximillionroivas3893]

An Onimusha HD Collection (including the Blade Warriors and Tactics games) would've been a money maker during the 360/PS3 era. Maybe even now, too. But I would've loved a brand new Onimusha game...

[@mkratos17]

Onimusha was the first ps2 game I played they should remastered on ps4

[@blazedyasa]

@@mkratos17 it is being remastered.

[@ZockAmigo]

I would love to see an Episode about Games that deserved a sequel. In my case I really wanted a sequel to Goof Troop on the Snes.

[@nonlegend]

Epic Mickey Power of illusion on 3ds has many similarities with the Magical Quest series. Also, GameSack in the house!

[@CRISHTANG]

Loved this episode, great to see the whole span of gaming eras represented! I had no idea the Capcom Mickey platformers went that far, or that Earthworm Jim went out that terribly... Lately I've been reminded that Gradius and Life Force died pretty terribly too. (a terrible Otomedius that wasn't even decent like the first one, and an unreleased Chinese mobile phone port with microtransactions). :( Agree totally on the Castlevania. RIP franchises. Thanks Joe for wearing the shirt BTW, that was so random!

[@kyle2004x]

I love Game Sack more than any TV show. You guys have such polish, it's fantastic.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

6:16 That thing totally reminds me of the weird baby in Eraserhead

[@GreenNinjaTea]

it might be a direct reference since kojima is a movie nut

[@KILLERONROAD]

It kinda reminds me of Granny from Squidbillies.

[@VinnytotheK]

I was thinking the same.

[@MrCornholio93]

p sure that was what it was going for

[@costafinkel]

LOL, indeed

[@Michirin9801]

Castlevania Rebirth was AWESOME! It's probably got my favourite soundtrack in the series too!

[@kosmosyche]

TUK(Deleted Channel) No, you are right. I feel the same. It may sound strange, but to me Castlevania is half game, half music franchise. I mean it has always been like that since the NES times. If you got new Castlevania game, it meant you got solid Castlevania gameplay and also fresh beautiful Castlevania tunes. I don't know many franchises with such a reputation for great music written by talented composers (perhaps only Final Fantasy). If a Castlevania game just uses remixes of classic tracks, I don't feel like it's a complete experience.

[@killerb2099]

@@kosmosyche I think Mega Man and Sonic have a similar reputation.

[@jeetjeetly]

[@roberto1519]

Haha, just saw here on the suggested videos, spiritual sequels, you guys think of everything, thanks!

[@sozaj]

The original creators of Earthworm Jim have gone on record saying that they were reduced to tears when they saw Earthworm Jim 3D in action. They hated seeing their boy Jim getting so horribly debauched.

[@sozaj]

I actually saw a video in which the creator said that. I wish I could remember which video.

[@McdonaldeS1986]

Castlevania curse of darkness is underrated as hell, absolutely love it, castlevania and resident evil are my two favourite long running franchises

[@g40rc378]

Curse of Darkness was awesome. I also liked Lament of Innocence even with its flaws, & the crazy difficulty modes were great.

[@dmblackgold]

Another interesting video, Game Sack! Some more Franchise Killers for you: 1) Command & Conquer - Red Alert 3 (PC/PlayStation 3/Xbox 360); 2) Command & Conquer 4 - Tiberian Twilight (PC); 3) Fighting Force 2 (PS/Dreamcast); 4) Heretic 2 (PC/Mac); 5) Gothic 4 (PC/Xbox 360/PS 3/PS 4); 6) Syndicate Wars (PC/PS); 7) Bubsy 3D (PS); 8) Soldier of Fortune - Payback (PC/Xbox 360/PS 3); 9) Silent Hill 4 - The Room (PS 2/Xbox/PC) (of course, that game didn’t actually kill the franchise, but after it - series went to hell. Or should I say to Silent Hill ;) ); 10) Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi’s Island (SNES) (again, not exactly the Franchise Killer, but I never heard about Super Mario World 3, after SMW 2. And I will be very happy, if SMW 3 would ever happen, and if it would have graphical style from SMW 1). P. S. : I want to give you three interesting ideas, Game Sack. 1) - First Idea - How about the episode or maybe even the series of episodes, where you will tell us about games, that didn’t kill any franchises, but on the contrarily, made franchises worldwide famous, for example - Final Fantasy VII (PS/PC) or Doom 2 (Various Platforms). You can call it - «And they waked up famous» or something like that. :)) 2) - Second Idea - You can tell us about games, that didn’t kill any franchises, but were the last in the franchises and they weren’t bad, as most Franchise Killers, for example - Croc 2 (PS/PC) or The Suffering: Ties that Bind (PS 2/Xbox/PC). You can call it - «Last man standing», or «Not good, not bad, but dead», or something like that. :)) 3) - Third Idea - You can tell us about games, that didn’t kill any franchises, but instead broke them. After these games everything in the series went wrong, for example - Silent Hill 4 (PS 2/Xbox/PC) or Heroes of Might and Magic IV (PC/Mac). You can call it - «I know, something went wrong», or something like that. :)) P. S. S. : I’m totally agree with you on Castlevania - Lords of Shadow. It wasn’t a bad game, but it also wasn’t the Castlevania game in many aspects. Especially in the music aspect.

[@sloppyjimboxiuxiu]

[@Unkempt_Whizard]

Hey guys what about an episode on cheap games on the Xbox and ps stores? Like a gaming on a budget/ digital only epi?

[@Hellwyck]

Not sure what platforms were on it but they did two budget eps; 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWbCY5yZibSNnLs 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYnSoHSnr7iblck

[@Unkempt_Whizard]

Hellwyck Yep I've seen them but I was thinking along the lines of download only games. Not necessarily cheap retro games exclusively.

[@Unkempt_Whizard]

Hellwyck but that's pretty cool that you have their back catalog on recall like that!

[@AirknightTails]

Thanks for mentioning the Magical Quest games. I have MQ2 for GBA and I’m still hunting for 1 and 3 in the wild in local stores (I prefer to shop local than Online)

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks! I have 1 & 2 but would love to find 3 in the wild. Someday we will find them. We just have to have patience.

[@TG-ge1oh]

Death Stranding turned out nothing like PT or Silent Hill. Can you imagine how sad that makes me? :(

[@awetistic5295]

I will never get over Silent Hills being cancelled. Ever.

[@grimmfandango832]

Earthworm 3D was made by VIS, as you said, but they were a subsidiary of Rockstar Games (Well they were part if BAM but in essence they were part of the Dundee development scene and thus really close to Rockstar, a company with Dundee origins) and the studio later developed State of Emergency. That game was really popular during the mid Ps2 era. Not exactly a developer who was known for little like you said.

[@TheL1arL1ar]

I love and still have lament of innocence.

[@benitosierrajr3958]

Joe and Dave from Game Sack, I'm happy you talked about the Magical Quest series a little more in this episode because I'm a huge Mickey Mouse fan, since Disney is no longer developing and publishing their own games anymore, Capcom and Disney may revive the series in the future.

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks! I'm a big fan as well. I'm always on the look out for a good Mickey Mouse game.

[@LIAGWP]

The idea of that Silent Hill game is actually pretty good. As far as the character creation and plot setup. But the rest was just... what were they thinking???

[@Ahmadu100]

Y'know I thought I was the only one who hated "Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2" I don't even think I liked "Mirrors of Fate".

[@tetrisdave]

Yeah I didn't like Mirror of Fate either.

[@AwesomeINKMAN]

It's another great episode as always (lots of thanks for it!) but its order number is #205 (not #206 as in the description - correct it, please). As far as the previous episode is #204, of course.

[@Enigma2K99]

Dave... do a Castlevania retrospective. Let's be sad together.

[@tetrisdave]

It will be called Castlevania: The Lament of Dave and Enigma2K99...

[@Enigma2K99]

We'll get through this... together. IGA gives me hope. ... though if he disappoints me with Bloodstained, I'll never back another Kickstarter as long as I live.

[@elleCX01]

Earthworm Jim had a game gear version. The whip used the 1 button just like the blaster. Short tap for the whip and long press for the blaster. Worked OK for me.

[@ErinPlays]

Bloodlines is totally next on my list of Castlevania games to check out (but the game boy game looks awesome too! Decisions, decisions!) I'm so glad you talked about this because my Castlevania knowledge is basically limited to NES/SNES. And for some reason, I always forget Earthworm Jim exists. No idea why. Anyway, great video as always!

[@GameSack]

Dave might recommend Castlevania 2 on GameBoy over Bloodlines. As for me, I dunno. They are both must-plays.

[@supergeoff]

It's on my list too

[@YumeKojoCosplay]

I just bought Bloodlines a couple days ago. It’s a pretty good game.

[@FinalBaton]

Erin Plays Bloodlines is awwwwesome. Level design is tight as hell and it's got music from my favourite video game composer of all-time, Miss Michiru Yamane. Truly an out-of-this-world musical score. Gonna do some shameless self-promotion here : I suggest you go check my no-death run of the game on my channel, to get a feel of what the game's about!

[@GabMacedoo]

Erin Plays bloodlines is cool, but I would take any of the snes, GBA or DS ones over it

[@JamesLewis2]

Note that the puzzle pieces have been called "Jiggies" ever since the first Banjo-Kazooie.

[@dudewhyfi]

I'm guessing if Rare had stayed at Nintendo, there would've been a Banjo-Threeie on the GameCube and that the franchise would have had a few more console releases.

[@GameSack]

Hard to say. As far as I know Rare decided to make Nuts & Bolts the way it is on their own. Could have gotten something similar on the 'Cube or Wii.

[@GTXDash]

Apparently, Rare was actually working on Banjo-Threeie on Xbox then it was moved to the 360 and then they changed the gameplay from a traditional collectathon to what we ended up with in Nuts & Bolts. According to some sources, the levels were built before this change was implemented. That's why the levels were kinda weird considering the gameplay of Nuts & Bolts.

[@Cap661]

I've been a fan for years, love your guys' work! I know it would be more work for you, but any way to put a subtitle of what system you are reviewing each game, and/or other system's it is available on? For those of us that aren't as familiar with the series it can really help. Or putting the list under the information for each episode. I know the games you discuss are on the episodes list, but this would be way faster. Also, some other episode ideas: -Another 'Worst of the worst' episode (a lot of bad games to choose from) --'Addicting Games' -More personal episodes: 'Games that Got Us Through Hard Times' or 'Games that Make you Lose Friends' -'Games for Short bursts' -More reviews of Emulator handhelds like Dingoo A380 -'Hardest/Easiest Final Bosses' -'Stupidest/Smartest AI' -'Ancient Games' (Atari, Colecovision, etc.) -'Sports Games that Aren't really Sports' Sorry if I got carried away, it was better than studying the Microbiology I should be studying. :)

[@vtrip_]

Ninja Gaiden. After the terrible NG3 there was Yaibo which was also bad and just a spin-off. I wanna see a true sequel to the excellent first 2 games.

[@b0hem1]

You know, I really enjoyed Dino Crisis 2. I think I played through that game a dozen times. Score was used as currency and you could keep your items and guns from previous games (along with their mods) and really tear through a more difficult version of the main game. At the end you were scored and I think that gave you something to use for later playthroughs. First and foremost, it was a game about player knowledge and skill. Being able to do counters and dodge enemy attacks was paramount to get a good score.

[@Wyrdwad]

Here's a combination Left in Japan + Franchise Killer: Jumping Flash! Remember Jumping Flash? I loved the first two games on PS1, but those are the ONLY two games in the series that we ever saw in English. Japan got two more, but they... weren't exactly good. "Robbit Mon Dieu" changed up the formula -- and instead of fast-paced, frenetic action, you were now playing as Robbit AFTER he'd saved the world... being a good samaritan by doing menial chores for people. Like using your giant rabbit-shaped mech that can jump 30 stories in the air to rid someone's garden of moles, or catch someone's stray laundry that blew off the line and is fluttering around in the wind. Each task you're given is usually completed within 1 minute (sometimes as little as 10 seconds!), and then you have to go through load times, evaluations and scoring, story dialogue, etc. before you get to take on the next task. You actually spend more time reading dialogue or waiting for scenes to load than you do playing. It's not without its slight charms, as some of the characters in the storyline are pretty funny and well-written, but it is decidedly NOT Jumping Flash. The fourth and final game, then, was a PocketStation exclusive (yes, PocketStation!) called "Pocket MuuMuu." And then... that was it. AFAIK, Sony owns this franchise, and... I mean, can you imagine how awesome a new Jumping Flash game would be in HD? But sadly, the franchise peaked with the last game we saw in English, and then quickly fizzled out. RIP, Jumping Flash. We hardly knew ye.

[@tetrisdave]

Oh I know about Jumping Flash. I've talked about them with Robbit Mon Dieu in our "Left in Japan 8" episode. That game would be amazing if they made a new one on PS4. Or maybe on PSVR......although I have yet to try out the VR.

[@Wyrdwad]

I have a feeling a VR Jumping Flash would just introduce the world to far more vomit than it currently sports. ;)

I rented the first game back when I was a kid (and I couldn't remember the exact name of the game until now, it's when I saw Mickey jump over the the big rolling tomatoes and his costume changes in this episode's capture that I made the connection, Thanks for the huge flashback btw, lol). I remember liking the game quite a bit, I should replay it, and give the sequels a try! Thanks Game Sack.

Yes you should!

Kazooie is a female though. :D Also, glad to see I'm not the only one who likes Harmony of Dissonance. It gets a lot of shit form the fanbase.

Love that Earth Worm Jim 2 music intro!

Mass Effect Andromeda , it killed the company and the franchise.

[@drewfields3975]

Malkav The Mad Dude, it didn’t come out all that long ago. Bioware hasn’t even had a chance to announce anything else. Not nearly enough time has past for anyone to say that Mass Effect or Bioware are dead. Sure, Andromeda was bad, but it hasn’t even been a year since it was released.

[@caligoclarus]

It's already been officially announced as "shelved".

[@jmarx3943]

The one that still hurts the most for me is Lunar from your first video on the subject. I want that series back.

[@benjmark]

Kazooie is female I believe.

[@DONK8008]

You are correct.

[@GameSack]

I though xhe was gender fluid?

[@DONK8008]

I don't recall the games ever straight up saying Kazooie is female but in the text when talking to/about Kazooie they use her/she. So I guess for the games time thats enough to class her as female.

I want to smoke with Dave. I've been super high, but his eyes tell me there's a place above me.

For me, CASTLEVANIA: Lamment of Inocence is THE BEST CASTLEVANIA 3D. Amazing atmosphere and soundtrack. The combat is very effective when you get used to. Send a HI to Brazil, Game Sack! We love the Show!
