Forgotten Sequels

[@GameSack]

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

[@SchutzBoysband]

Rap Jam Vol 2.

[@Blueflag04]

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]

[@MajestX23]

und hier noch einer... gibt nix besseres. Long live Game Sack

[@badbirdkc]

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

[@JonathanHenry]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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

[@MyRetroLife]

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

[@chexmixkitty]

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

[@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.

[@DuckAvenger]

Nothing like watching game sack on a barely Sunday morning

[@drunkensailor112]

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

[@n_n_n_n_n_n]

Great sound editing in the skit, Joe.

[@Pholiage]

What editing?

[@Jesse__H]

@@Pholiage the sound editing.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@vtrip_]

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

[@ChrisLT]

Love Road Rash. Keep at it, young Joe, your video game show might go somewhere some day!

[@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.

[@loki.odinson]

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

[@Bloodreign1]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@clarafedde8674]

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

[@jtrevorscott]

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

[@jcags]

More endings like that one PLEASE

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Another awesome Game Sack episode! Really liked the idea for this topic. I recently tried out Warrior Blade: Rastan Vs Barbarian on the GameCube, but wasn’t even thinking it was related to the original Rastan. Great video again man!

[@samjam64]

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

[@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.

[@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.

Omg that outro was awesome. I just love your sense of humour.

[@joec9958]

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

[@Pikaso1986]

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

[@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.

[@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?

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.

[@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.

[@Dakarus]

That ending was so good

[@RonnieBarzel]

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.

I’m shocked people never mention Figthing Vipers 2 on Dreamcast those match ending super moves that allowed you to win the match in the first round were epic of global proportions

[@skins4thewin]

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.

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.

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 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.

Rayman 2 also has some History with me as I got along with the first game on PS1 on the Same Day (By coincidence). 3 I haven't played that much except during High School (Yes my Teacher had and installed the game for me). I now also own all 3 on GOG as well as Rush on PS1

A overall good sequel to the hard as nail original that just fell to the wayside to people with the exception of the fact th PS2 demo of the game deleted your memory card. Please consider returning to this topic. There are tons of forgotten games needing to be noticed. Keep up the good work!

Don't forget Red Hot Rumble.

[@ShinoSarna]

4:40 Rastan actually has a fan-sequel by indie developers - it's called Volgarr the Viking, and though it has a different story inspired by Norse mythos, the gameplay is pure original Rastan. You even find a corpse of Rastan early on. It's balls hard and structured exactly like an oldschool arcade game - originally it didn't even have a save option (and I think it's best to play it without it)! Oh, and if you play it, a hint: there is an option in the settings to turn the zoom-out button into a toggle - I strongly recommend checking it and playing entire game zoomed out.
