Fun! Fun! Pingu (PS1) | Sean Seanson

Don't say I never give you what you want! Even if it's true... and you get a weird review of a Japanese-exclusive Pingu game instead of getting what you want. Anyway, here's Fun! Fun! Pingu on the PlayStation/PS1/PSX/PSone

Apologies about the pops in the opening. Its been so long since I filmed an in person segment that I somehow forgot how microphones worked.

[@TheJacklikesvideos]

I cannot believe that David Hasselhoff rapping about Pengu is a real thing.

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

10:55 "...performing a whole dance routine with it." Very Hideo Kojima-coded.

[@shards-of-glass-man]

And that's why you should noot-noot forget to always obsessively backup, Sean. Hard drives are like fair-weather friends, always bound to leave you in the dust at the worst possible time and with no warning.

[@dcrossman]

The title card sections, on all your videos, is always so comforting. Loved the vid!

[@S1lentAssassin44]

Delighted to see Sean sporting the cat dad sweater. You love to see it👍

[@DiddlyDiPotatoes]

Pingu becoming popular in Japan isn't too surprising to me, I mean look at him. And merry christmas to you Sean. Hope you have a great 2023.

[@tarouyamada2686]

Moomin/Mumintroll is another one, it's surprisingly huge over here and I wouldn't have guessed it was originally Finnish.

[@MidBoss666]

Japan has a love for cute stop-motion critters. A good example would be Miś Uszatek (Teddy Floppy Ear), a Polish stop-motion series from 1975, was picked up by a Japanese studio in 2007 (which they broadcast as "Oyasumi Kumachan"), and to top it off, was financed by said studio to film new episodes.

[@projectno5]

pingu was the only one who successfully raided area 51. he had the power of god, anime and NOOT NOOT on his side.

[@MADSVPERVILLAIN]

Thank you for deciding this Pingu video needed to be set to the Japanese Fantavision OST, inspired choice.

[@Steadysphere]

Can confirm, Parasite Eve would've been the better choice :D Sorry to hear about all the issues you've had. Glad you got this one out and it was as informative and enjoyable as ever. Have nostalgia for Pingu, being as the BBC used to show it a lot when I was a kid. And hey...it must've been better than Die Ha...sorry Fifth Element :)

[@SeanSeanson]

Yes, it would have haha It's ok, I'll chalk it up as a learning experience for now. At least I got some Fun! Fun! out the whole thing, so who can complain really :)

[@i.m.evilhomer5084]

There's also a bunch of Thomas the Tank Engine games that are Japanese exclusive. Like Pingu, the series is super popular over there. To my surprise, not only are there PS1 Thomas games, but also 3DS games that never left Japan.

[@SeanSeanson]

they LOVE Thomas the Tank engine over there

[@wieldylattice3015]

You know it’s a good video when the thumbnail has penguins T posing

[@SuryaBudimansyah]

Let me guess, the lost project was "All the PS1 Games that Released Near/During Christmas" ?

[@MidBoss666]

Here's a bizarre fun fact, even though the series has an original language and doesn't need translation... the Korean version actually has an English dub for some reason, and some really broken English at that. Not even kidding, Steve Reviews did a great video about it.

[@simplesimonhadapie]

Merry pawsmas! these handmade animations are such a huge part of my childhood i still adore that look to this day

[@Philemon_Logos]

The audacity of not playing the Credits song 'Ai Wa Pika Pika', the best part of this game, and instead, the bleedin' Hoff song. Outrageous.

[@SeanSeanson]

Thankfully hoff doesn't hit me with the aul copyright warning

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Ooooh I have to check if you did a Parasite Eve video yet; it's a favourite of mine! Pingu's awesome. Canada's non-cable broadcasters used to play Pingu at like 3am on weekends, so it didn't register as a kids show to me, since I first met it in that context. Then my second Pingu experience was seeing that amazing "Pingu meets John Carpenter's The Thing" animated short that was up on YT about a decade ago (it kept getting copy claimed so it would be up & down). Which was not for kids lol very gory despite being clay. So it's odd but this video is my 1st encounter with Pingu where it's sinking in that it's for the younglings.

[@SeanSeanson]

Thanks for watching fellow Pingu fan! I have a long video on all the Sqauresoft PS1 games and I talk a little about Parasite Eve 1 & 2 there if that sounds up your alley!

[@wieldylattice3015]

1:01 now I’m thinking of those pictures where the hard drive is just fractured to pieces. My condolences

[@designator7402]

I hope that's a lesson unfortunately learned: backups backups backups

[@tarouyamada2686]

Noot noot! Never knew it was originally a Swiss character. It all just blended in my mind with Pythagora Switch and its penguin duo🤯 EDIT: Time is flying too fast! Happy holidays everyone!

[@Space_Reptile]

merry Pingumas sean, for a more pingu 2023 w/ less dataloss

[@MakopoweredGaming]

Okay, so, right off the hop, YOU WERE GONNA LISTEN TO DAVE ABOUT FIFTH ELEMENT?! Is he already aware of this?! If not, for the love of God, don't tell him - we don't need him knowing the power he wields! Second, WE WERE ROBBED OF A SEAN SEANSON PARASITE EVE VIDEO?! If you do get around to it, though, I would love to help in some capacity, because Parasite Eve is one of my favorite PS1 games, and, well, it does fall under my academic area of expertise. 😅 I do love this game, and am glad to know it exists. The graphics are honestly impressive to me for just how well they capture the Pingu aesthetic. Sure, there are other games based on stop-motion properties, but honestly, Chicken Run doesn't look anywhere near as good. This was a really fun video, that is a really fun holiday sweater, and all I can say is thank you and happy holidays.

[@SeanSeanson]

Once Dave realises he can meme his way into getting videos made, he'll be unstoppable. Maybe the hard drive issue was a sign from above preventing such power getting free! Straight up remembered I could have just done Parasite Eve as I had finished the script for this... was trying to think of a Christmas game for ages and it just completely blanked my mind somehow... too many pingu episodes I think. Happy holidays my dude, hope it's a good one :)

[@MakopoweredGaming]

@@SeanSeanson So... The hard drive failure is a Christmas miracle? Because he also wants me to do CDi episodes! 😅 I get it - too many Pingu episodes can have that effect on a soul. Also, not having Parasite Eve released in PAL territories (for some unknown reason) may also contribute. Thank you! Happy holidays again, and I hope yours is great (with no more hard drive failures!)

[@comfyseejay1922]

I'd spam that noot-noot button all day. Great vid, mate!

[@davissprague2797]

Incredible sweater

[@Redfoxe]

What a treat. Pingu and Pinga t-posing in the thumbnail to assert domination. And i see a nice Suikoden piece in the office!. Happy Holidays!

[@AvalancheReviews]

How did you get me to sit down and watch an entire 20min video about subject matter I could care less about?????

[@SeanSeanson]

Penguin magic!

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

The flapping foot sounds

[@TheBandoBandito]

Thanks for all the Pingu history. I really appreciate the parts when you give a little background on the game being discussed.

[@thrilleex]

Always bringing stuff I never imagined existed. Thank you.

[@tompuce84]

18:24 wtf best loading screen ever. You love to see it.

[@PSXGamingMemories]

This brings me back, my youngest bro used to watch this all the time when we were kids & we would watch it with him, always thought it was funny & had a unique charm to it that I liked. It was a good happy distraction lol, As always great video & will look forward to the next 1 for sure, Merry Christmas!

[@WesY2K]

I wonder if there is a cute horror movie in Japan called Pingu-Ringu...

[@hdnroots]

The goat has blessed us yet again🫡

[@mercurysorbit5138]

Love the cats.

[@davenolan]

Noot noot! Also heartbroken over the hard drive crash...

[@SeanSeanson]

Your day will come

[@Geno746]

You know I do in fact love to see it.

[@DylanYouSonOfABidgeNelson]

Jared from Avalanche Reviews sent me here.

[@Rawhaki]

OMG, I WANT THAT CONTROLLER FHJGFHJGFJK

[@iainmew5030]

Merry Christmas and thanks for a typically entertaining and fascinating video! Also my 4 year old picked this to watch from our KZbin recommendations even ahead of Paw Patrol toys so you are in rare company there

[@SeanSeanson]

Tis a great honor! :)

[@snookers5123]

Who would've thought the naruto run was actually the Pingu run.

[@Moskau43]

Loved Pingu as a kid, always liked the episode where he took a big piss on the floor.

[@Heaaaps]

A cat dad with a voice for radio 😂😂👍 you trolled me hard by showing die hard first 😂 valid point about the universal appeal although after a few minutes it wrecks your head. Hahaha the Hoff wtf. Pop that popcorn. Borig pingu you mean mean man 😂 Great work again and happy xmas

[@SeanSeanson]

cheers lad and happy xmas!

[@DrPepperone]

Rootin' tootin' nootin' nootin'

[@Oranalysis]

Based on this video, I'm going to need you to review the Teletubbies game. Society needs this.

[@RizzRaz]

Caught the upload and have never made hot cocoa faster. Merry Christmas Sean! Edit: Oh. Well. Happy New Year, at least!

[@wieldylattice3015]

Great weather where I live today, I got the last chocolate chip cookie (beat my family to it), a Sean Seanson upload, and to top it all off the copy of WipEout Fusion I ordered on eBay finally arrived and I got to play it for the first time! Sometimes life just works out

[@thomasstone3480]

just wanted to say that i've been powering through your videos based on a recommendation from the i finished a video game guy and they're fun as hell and i enjoy how excessively irish you are

[@SeanSeanson]

Aw thank you friend, appreciate you watching!

[@KArchine]

I was about to judge your casual gamer habits for daring to say a bad word about Die Hard Trilogy... 5th Element? Ok fair enough.

[@cam6914]

Merry Christmas Sean!

[@SeanSeanson]

Wow thank you so much friend. Merry Christmas ♥️

[@ProTayToeGamer]

Thanks for cooking up this emergency video and hopefully you can recover your old footage!

[@beat-man5167]

The topic of PS1 exclusive PS1 ports of PC games reminds me that there's a PS1 port of The Neverhood, and there's a JP exclusive spinoff air hockey game. I forget but maybe you've talked about those already. Or maybe not. Feels like you did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@SeanSeanson]

I think I highlighted both briefly in the Fan Translation video I did a while back. Really interesting to see how popular the Neverhood got over there!

[@Wuggyboobeaufuf138]

I have a plush Pingu.....that I bought in Japan.

[@ilypo]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Sean

[@containercore6832]

Noot noot!

[@manukau5271]

Mmm… yummy treats 😊

[@Highretrogamelord]

This game seems to be as cozy as the show itself (which I have watched as a kid) but since you say this game isn't good I have to say that's a shame - I wish it would be good. Anyways, thanks for reviewing this game! Merry Christmas in advance! P.S. Kitties spotted at 1:51 and 1:53 (also at 0:03 if your sweater counts...which is an amazing sweater btw!)

[@SeanSeanson]

Good kitty watch as always :)

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

Yikes! "The Fifth Element" makes "Bubsy 3D" look like a polished masterpiece. One of the most fundamentally broken games on the system.

[@oOGambitOo]

I miss the wheel....

[@SeanSeanson]

Give it time, it'll come back

[@Visuwyg]

NOOT NOOT!

[@Deep_wolf]

You're my favorite ps1-jank youtuber. Wait till you get to some sound novel madness...

[@RWSCOTT]

his sister's name is Pinga? guessing they changed that for a spanish release, rofl!

[@Dishamonpow]

Neat.

[@alkex1]

NOOT NOOT

[@badplaysdeadmeems6489]

NOOT F***ING NOOT !!

[@Chronis67]

Nothing wrong with a good ol noot noot. And Sean, as for the hard drive, if it isn't completely dead, I'd recommend trying some data recovery software. I'm currently using Ease Us data recovery, and its pretty good but I didn't get a lot titles for my files. I used Stellar before and don't remember having that issue, but it could just be different circumstances with the drives. If you do a trial of either and it finds your files, look for coupon codes before purchasing the full version.

[@SeanSeanson]

Appreciate the advice friend. Unfortunately its a power issue, so can't even get it to register on my computer to use some software with it. Thankfully it should be recoverable, just gotta get some professionals to check it out!

[@massiveprogressive9488]

Didn't show the clip of Pingu pissing on the floor next to toilet. 0/10 XD

[@_Roland157]

Noot noot

[@SeanSeanson]

Noot Noot

[@Pumpkinwaffle]

Noot noot,

[@coreeeey420]

This game is for young kids, right? How come there's a bigass ice skull at 8:42?
