NEW GAME STUFF 67 - Happy Console Gamer

[@tarochips3]

Bro. As a longtime fan of your channel, I just want to say your dad would be really proud of you.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Wow thank you!

[@Gamersglade]

Ooooh Almost 300k! Nobody more deserving than Johnny

[@IrishNMC]

This last month has been busy for me with games. My non gamer girlfriend really wanted to play Hogwarts Legacy and since buying it she's been hooked, so now she wants to play a few more games so I went and bought PS5 Withcer and PS4 Dragon Quest 11 S for her, and Tales of Arise for me! 😂

[@SecksyMan]

Sup John?! I recently picked up a Switch Oled with Octopath Traveler 2 and Metroid Prime remake. Octopath is so gooood

[@tdotran]

Octopath 2. I’m about 35 hours in and I’m loving it. The game is still gorgeous and I can’t get enough of that hd 2D style.

[@craigemery856]

Octopath 2 is REALLY good. I couldn't get into the first one for some reason but I bought the second also for some reason lol but I'm glad I did. I'm gonna go back to play OP1 once I finish and give it another shot since I'm really into the 2nd right now. BTW the music is INCREDIBLE!! I've heard the 1st is even better.

[@starknightlumina8680]

@@craigemery856 in the same boat as you, didn't like the first game, put it down before I got all the 8 travelers. But Octopath 2 is fantastic, probably my favorite game this year so far. Pre-ordered the OST because it is so great.

[@tdotran]

After beating the game around the 90 hour mark, this game is FANTASTIC. best game of the year so far. Holy cow.

[@Jawwaad1111]

Your enthusiasm for your pick ups always makes the videos good.

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

Except the part where he told us to do ANYTHING to get a copy of "Royal Space Force" -- "I don't care what you have to do!" 😱😆

[@Cavetreasure]

Fun Fact: The composer of Royal Space Force, Ryuichi Sakamoto, also created the startup sound for the Sega Dreamcast.

[@blakestewart7200]

YMO is one of the best bands ever and Sakamoto is such an incredible composer. Never knew he did the Dreamcast startup!

[@sweet_sukeban4022]

He also did the music for some dreamcast games too

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

😲whaaa???

[@Cavetreasure]

@@HappyConsoleGamer Right!? It's insane where this awesome talent shows up. Kudos for bringing such an incredible movie back into the spotlight!

[@randomzombie5579]

sakamoto did wings of honneamise !?!? wow thats nuts, gotta look that up!

[@Smileyman063]

I'm still making my way through Metroid Prime Remastered and I'm loving every second of it! Nintendo has done such a phenomenal job with the remaster, and I'm taking my sweet time scanning everything and immersing myself within its world!

[@retrogamerfan123]

It’s worth 100% the game the remastered artwork is amazing be sure to beat hard mode some artwork is exclusive to that feat

[@JoshuaStockton]

In my current season of life, I can't play much video games but I can't say it enough, I l absolutely love this channel and Johnny's nostalgia trips. Living vicariously through his stories and experiences is a fun way to pass time in the background of my busy life. Thanks Johnny for your enthusiasm and positivity and being authentic to yourself and your audience.

[@chrilz1498]

That Days Gone story is so cool, Johnny! What an awesome reminder in-person of the joy you bring to others! I hope I get to meet you in person one day and thank you personally too. Have a great rest of your weekend!

[@berenmccormack8767]

Been following for the last 4-5 years, absolutely love the content, if I'm having a bad day it always cheers me up going back and watching a few of your old videos, love the anecdote and memory videos particularly ❤️

[@macaronijelly4397]

I liked the story of you playing with your dad. My oldest son just turned 3 and I've been introducing him to video games and letting him play with my Switch. He's really been enjoying it and asks for it often and I love seeing him enjoy something so much. It makes me happy to think that he might have those happy memories to look back on when he's older too.

[@ursweetsab]

Just finished Chrono Trigger for the first time. My favourite game and I am over joyed to be playing the fan made sequel 'Crimson Echoes'.

[@jeffdlr3056]

What Johnny experiences in listening to vinyls, I get from listening to him.

[@NoMereRanger73]

You are an inspiration my dude! I finally visited Nintendo New York and picked up a plushie Kappn for my wife and KK Slider for myself

[@MadPanicGaming]

Speaking of shooters, I just got Ray'z Arcade Chronology and it's awesome. Arcade ports of all three of the Ray games by Taito plus HD versions of Raystorm and Ray Crisis. So epic.

[@MarkTheDead]

Just grabbed new Fire Emblem, super fun so far but I`ve been tied up with Astral Chain recently. Always love you videos, man. It`s always a good way for me to smile.

[@geralt5843]

I recently picked up Metroid Prime. I haven’t played it in over 20 years. I beat the original once and never played it again and I absolutely loved it. I’m someone who doesn’t usually replay games. Everyone these days talks about “second playthroughs” and stuff, and to each their own, but that’s not me. I have a long backlog of games, I really don’t have the patience to beat a game and then start it right up all over again. However, with Metroid Prime it has been so long, I forgot a lot about it initially and the new graphics I was so excited to dive back in. And man, it was as great as I remember. Stepping out into the Tallon Overworld with that music just took me back. And slowly it all started to come back. Nostalgia overload. Gonna be hard to top for game of the year for sure.

[@matthewpinder4279]

It's been a busy month for gaming. Octopath Traveller 2, Metroid Prime Remastered, Fire Emblem Engage, with Trails from Azure on the way. And we're only in March!

[@gundambassexe31]

Kirby dreamland deluxe edition, Octopath traveler 2, TMNT 2012 complete series dvd, Pokémon season 1 blu ray and Valis phantasm soldier 2 collection !

[@CameronJohnson]

Of all things, I rebought a 3DO! I sold my childhood system years ago and have always regretted it. Yes, it's not the best console, but very nostalgic for me.

[@NolocoLawrence]

Sooooooooo welcome let's not talk about all the money I've been spending on the 3DS eShop. Let's not do that 🙄 On the positive side I at least haggle the rusty down to the lowest price so there's that

[@tylerdodd7599]

Spoiled myself and picked up dragon quest 11 for switch and dq 8 for 3ds

[@themailman3331]

Octopath Traveller 2 is amazing and gets me even more excited for DQ 3 in HD-2D.

[@thehouseofhoops]

Metroid Prime Remastered is extremely good from what people are saying. Interestingly enough, Re4 and the original Metroid Prime both came out around the same time and are both now getting remakes/remasters. I bought them both right when they originally came out and loved them.

[@farmerinthere4466]

Picked up Metroid prime remastered and Zelda twilight princess for gamecube. Compared the og and remastered and remastered looks gorgeous. Twilight my wife is excited to play since she’s the Zelda fan

[@brandonwhite4998]

I got my beloved Metroid prime remaster physical,also grabbed Tales of Symphonia remastered and Kirby's return to Dreamland deluxe,what a great time for gaming especially with the Gameboy and GBA games on NSO I bet Johnny is happy about that.

[@sirownzalotgaming3025]

Metroid prime is a masterpiece. I will pick up octopath 2 once I clear up some of my backlog. I picked up bravely default on a sale a while back and I need to finish it

[@BenjaminDarlingMusic]

I only really buy games digitally now, but I’m a sucker for good sales! The past 6 weeks I’ve picked up 11 games for a total of $35.30 Switch: • Ori and The Blind Forest • Ori and The Will of the Wisps • Beautiful Desolation • What Lies In The Multiverse • Aspire: Ina’s Tale PS5: • Shadow Warrior • We Happy Few • Batman Arkham Collection (Asylum, City, and Knight) • Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTY Edition

[@ScottyMo]

At first, I almost stopped the video when seeing another D&D book, but that story of you and your friend reuniting for a game put the biggest smile on my face. I need to reach out to my old crew!

[@Jinzox91]

I bought Legend of Dragoon, Wild Arms 2 and Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection from playstation store for ps4

[@RetroJ77]

I finally upgraded to a PS5. Enjoying it so far.

[@dark_antihero]

15:59 its crazy how back in the days we could watch an entire movie at home with no distractions, i remember borrowing anime from the library and watching it in one sitting

[@ssjdennis6058]

I agree with the Phantasy Star 2 and 3 commentary. Loved 2 on the GBA, never could get into 3. Next week I plan on buy Fire Emblem Engage and Dragon Quest Treasures. Also need a new SD card to clear some space 😆

[@Lesandira]

Wings of Honneamise is a really amazing film and one of the great early works of studio GAINAX. Both Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and Hideaki Anno were involved and the soundtrack by Ryuichi Sakamoto is also outstanding. I think I will never forget the space sequence.

[@Psmgamer]

Doom 3 The Lost Missions Started it last night on Switch and it's amazing and I love how it's pretty much the same levels from the main campaign but from a different point of view. I only played the main campaign years ago on PS3 via BFG Edition though recently got Doom 3 so figured why not. Feels short but the scares at every corner is worth it.

[@steog2]

I recently emailed you about records, thanks for your answer ! Since then, I bought a few OST records (costlyyyyyy) and by far my favorite purchase is Ys VIII OST, what a game and mostly, what a great soundtrack

[@ThatsAndrew2]

I've picked up too many games this month. Last Epoch, Sons of the Forest, Metroid Prime on Switch and Resident Evil 4 Remake on PC and Diablo 4 on PC.

[@MichaelManning15]

Love the story about Mario Kart with your dad, my mom was always enthusiastic about my love for games but never really played them herself either. Except when I’d gotten Mario Kart Double Dash, I told her we could ride in the same Kart together and she was in. She’s passed now, I cherish those days and it’s funny and kind of crazy how similar our stories Mario Kart stories are.

[@TurboSax]

Oh man, you talking about VHS swapping brought back a lot of memories. Back when we were so hungry for anime we took whatever we could get. I'm such an old head haha

[@jasoncavill8179]

I picked up Hogwart's Legacy, Atari 50th anniversary, Kena, and Octopath Traveller 2

[@spiderbuzz1404]

I just wished there was a sequel for Days Gone it was such an amazing game rough at launch was the reason it will never get a sequel which is really sad

[@sgtbaker81]

Days Gone is a fun game. It has a good balance. Survival at first and slaughtering hordes by the end.

[@asapbruhhhhh]

I got Metroid Prime Remastered a couple days ago, it was sold out EVERYWHERE like Johnny said. I drove 2 hours to a GameStop way out in the boonies to get it 😂 also - I ordered it online and when I brought it home it had a CLEAR sticker sealing the case, it had no wrapping 🤦🏻‍♂️ and I bought it NEW. That pissed me off. Especially if I planned on collecting the game rather than playing it. Okay I’m done venting lmao.

[@MrGnuh]

i finally got bravely default2 at a local tech store. i never wanted to give it a chance but 20 bucks.... yeah. took me 3 days to go back there and get it. and now i am hooked. i didn't think this would happen. lol really only got it because i have the first 2 on 3ds

[@michaeltamez8818]

My dude love your content but these gamestuff,and pick-ups ,what are are we playing episodes are stale already we miss your old format the story episodes the guests love you man 💪

[@chauncypeppertooth9438]

Phantasy star 3 was the first one I tried when it released so I love it even though it’s the worst of the first 4

[@dirtycgaming]

Picked up physicals of Octopath 1, 2, Metroid Remastered, Fatal Frame, and Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope!!! Gonna take me a while…

[@mobynic]

Don't 100 percent alot of games but damn did I ever for days gone free on ps plus when I got my ps5 first game I played on it

[@jkemp6791]

I, too, own and love 4k Royal Space Force. I don’t love that it cost me almost $200. Lol

[@sspagnola831]

I loved Days Gone, it was one of those games I was reluctant to play it, then i did and fell in love and was the first game I platinumed

[@mechaotakugamer]

I got a bunch of new games. I just recently got 2 rare Japanese switch games in the mail. Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge DX

[@StiffAftermath]

Pink Floyde records were see-through in different colors. Beautiful.

[@manuelgoulet9401]

OMG royal space force the wings of honneamise you right , one of best anime ever

[@ScottX68000]

I'm a huge shooter fan, I love to pick up new physical releases when possible. I'd love to know what some of your favourite games are! Some of mine are Lords of Thunder on the PC Engine, Musha + Thunder Force IV (Lightening Force) on Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Nex Machina on PS4.

[@lanemoore]

Has Andrew legally changed his title to "My Friend Andrew"?

[@wasthistaken2970]

Octopath II, Metroid Prime and Dead Cells DLC

[@dantemiranda1727]

It is always nice to watch your videos, those anecdotes are awesome, saludos from Mexico City

[@SympatheticNightmare]

Are you gonna make a video regarding the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw demo?

[@Louis_Cyphriel]

I just hate, how long it takes for every game nowadays to get to me... I'm such in love with Temenos since the demo! So in waiting for Octopath 2 going through the 1st one and surprisingly, I love it. Tried that one too many times before and never get into it but now this is somehow changed. Either I get too thirsty for good jrpg or it actually grew on me because of the 2nd.

[@deathstick7715]

It's funny he has the vinals to listen too but they are sealed Johnny is a hoarder

[@Dougandsomenumbers2368]

I would love to play D&D again. I haven't played a tabletop rpg in 22 years. The anime that gave me the same affect as what you were saying was Warriors of the Wind (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) on VHS. I rented it from a store that was renting movies. I was a teenager and I had never seen anything like it in my life. I was so drawn into it. I watched it over and over for as long as I had it rented. I would sit there and draw, write, and read from my roleplaying books while watching it. I think I was reading Middle-Earth Role Playing game at the time. It opened my mind, so inspiring.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

I watched it as Warriors of the Wind too! soo wild back then!

[@alexxxellerington]

Johnny you once mentioned you were gonna make a documentary about anime expo 2000 in the Grandia episode! Do you think you ever will? It would be awesome Mr Millenium!

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Yeahhh I kind of let that go years ago....Some old friends in it that would be weird to put online now!

[@sinn3r147]

The strategy guides are the best. Love to see It. Every time John adquire a New strategy guide e feel like starting a collection aswell

[@The_Maf1a]

Im enjoying Octopath traveler 2 but its a little grindy. another thing the difficulty spikes in game are insane specially ochette chapter 4 final boss fight 😂😂

[@Antidepressiva1980]

Ochette is my main , love her. *Thunder Birdie* never gets old xD

[@jessdanielson9446]

Restored my Nintendo Gameboy Color. I got Tetris .

[@wiseguy100]

Octopath 2 is awesome. I'm loving it.

[@1upvscpu64]

Going for the Guile hairstyle, I see. 😆

[@jkemp6791]

Days Gone is AWESOME. The first 5 hours or so, I was thinking it was just okay. By the time I took down my first hoard, I was addicted. I ended up getting a platinum trophy and I rarely do that.

[@duhmez]

Octopaath series really is amazing. Truly like a beautiful high quality art book has come to life.

[@chrisisjoking]

I'm absolutely loving Octopath 2. You can tell the devs really listened to criticisms of the first game (which I also loved) and made some really nice upgrades. I never thought the first soundtrack could be topped, but it's definitely getting close. I highly recommend this game to any RPG fan out there.

[@LedZeppo32]

Man, I miss guides and Nintendo Power. I know it's all nostalgia, but still. I smiled so much seeing that DKC Guide. I remember seeing that in stores, and Nintendo Power. Everyone was excited for that game. It looked like no other game out at the time for me.

[@vgsquirrel]

Johnny I personally love when you talk about anime! As someone who grew up on the Toonami era I completely missed the 80s and early 90s so I always keep your recommendations in mind. As always keep up the great work!

[@richardingram2374]

I’ve been craving a golf game as I miss just blasting through an old school Toger Woods game so picked up PGA 2K23 for £15 and am really enjoying it. Set everything to easy for a more enjoyable ‘arcadey’ feel and just yeah, it’s scratching that itch.

[@shaolinpunkFTW]

I picked up the remasters of Strider and Shadow Of The Beast on PS4 - both really good! Highly recommend both.

[@jamescole3143]

Royal Space Force is great !

[@eddygreen3631]

Love shooters (aka shmups)! Same for Metroid Prime remastered, and have Octopath Traveler 2 on my list to get.

[@duhmez]

I am huige SHMUP an. I bought Soul Cresta physicaly, got it reently, but moved and been busy, not cracked the seal yet. I havbve tons and tons of awesome shmups on switch, and also many physical. Always look for physical. And why? I plan for future. I imaghine, if I am all OLD, maybe weak, I can still pop in a shmup and easily pick up and play. Bigf quick vsriety if get old and no longer into long drawn out game sessions. So builsing huge shmeup colecion is alwyas driving goal of mione. for game colecting.

[@xbluedreamx]

Awesome pickups, def gnna buy those titles in the near future!
