GAMES WE ARE PLAYING 19 - Happy Console Gamer

[@crabcakes448]

Rob, my dude, post an update now and again in your channel! Always happy to see you guys together hah.

[@ItsATMDrums]

For real, it’s been like 3 or 4 times now where he makes some big comeback and says he’s gonna be consistent and do tons of videos but then never does. Quite a bummer especially cuz a lot of people followed him over there and believed he would be doing something

[@Fasneocroth]

@@kurisu3000 the point is he promised to but hasn't, which is a let down but oh well

[@Jerrel28]

Yeah man that guy has a job and family. There's more to life than KZbin.

[@Atlantis9Productions]

All he needs to do is stream himself playing old school games. You play them anyway, may as well get some content out of it...

[@megajayretro]

Awesome to see RobMan! Hope you're doing well Rob! Tunic looking AMAZING!!!! I'm really on the fence about the Egret II but it looks a lot more interesting when Johnny and Rob look at it lol. Great video guys! Looking forward to the next Johnny and Robman video!

[@Fasneocroth]

I've started playing Spiderman PS4 again, was playing Tales of Arise and Bravely Default but those take so much time and I'm on the final stretch of my dissertation.

[@cloudyxiii]

Honestly I feel the same as Robman when it comes to Tunic. It is a really charming love letter to the old school ideas of Zelda. Great video guys! My Sunday is now complete!

[@bobbusc]

Played through Tunic when it came out and it's my game of the year right now. Best to go in blind if you can. It was magical. I do think the "good ending" could be a little too puzzley for some people, but it hit just right for me.

[@TheSecondIDare]

I'm one boss away from finishing Elden Ring. 150 plus hours, and I've loved every minute of it. I almost don't want it to end.

[@dekudeku1598]

Been waiting for new vids! absolutely love this KZbin channel. Never heard of Ys until I found Johnny and now I'm in love with the series. The happy console gamer has become my favourite KZbin channel ever. Thank you Sr for these awesome episodes! ❤️

[@wylelias]

Same here, never even heard of Ys even being an older gamer things still get passed by. Playing through them now is still pretty fun.

[@dekudeku1598]

@@wylelias I know right? I'm in my mid 30s and I never heard of it until I discovered The Happy Console Gamer.

[@Steve_UK77]

This channel made me research YS and start playing them, so i think Johnny would be happy about that!

[@Shinky]

I’ve been playing Radiata Stories. With the announcement of Star Ocean: The Divine Force and Valkyrie Elysium it’s thrown me in the mood to marathon a bunch of Tri-Ace games.

[@gregdickson4767]

Radiata Stories is one of my favourite JRPGs! It's such a chill experience, it has so much charm and character (and is full of characters to recruit 😁).

[@davidohearn8047]

Ratiata Stories was one of my favorite games in PS2. Love that game.

[@JegoEXP]

Radiata stories is one PS2 I would love to go back and play. The game looks so charming and fun!

[@statesminds]

I wish that'd get a rerelease I remember enjoying it but never finished

[@OH.A.M.]

Johnny, please print more Happy Console Gamer Tee’s. I would love to buy one. Thanks!

Always fantastic to see Rob pop up in a video. His infectious excitement always helps to elevate every installment he's featured in.

[@Hound2603]

Can’t believe you played Elevator Action. I played that the Spectrum Sinclair 128k. Haven’t heard about that game in 30 years

[@ShadowWolfQc]

Tunic is in my top 3 games of the year and I'm sure my indie game of the year. Worth every penny it is such a good game.

[@jcrodd7776]

Dairy Queen had Elevator Action in my town in 1984 lol

[@islandisliving]

I love these two dudes. This is my happy place.

[@Dusty_B]

I love when you guys do these videos! They always help me find cool new games to play. Currently playing Chrono Cross

[@prblood4ever]

I'm playing Chrono Cross on switch OLED, handheld mode. I notice the frame issues every now and then, but still having a blast with the game. Makes me feel so nostalgic hearing the music, and seeing the art style. I was glad to pay 20 bucks for it. I think these type of games really shine on the switch, especially handheld mode. Awesome video, looking forward to watching more! :)

[@aardvarkordog4638]

Been playing through the Trails series. Just finished Trails in the Sky the 3rd and now starting Cold Steel. Gonna take a break when I finish Cold Steel 2 and wait to play the Crossbell arc when they get that English localisation soon, might play either Ys or Yakuza while I wait for them to come out.

[@Walamonga1313]

Hell yeah, Trails is amazing. They're slow to grow on you but once they do you can't stop. Since last year I've played the Sky trilogy and the first 3 Cold Steel games. Currently on the 4th and waiting for Crossbell's localisation (I watched summaries of them before CS3 just to be caught up but still excited to actually play em)

[@garycormack]

Love how Rob shines a spotlight on these indie games, I’ve added several to my wish list over the last few months

[@CitroenC407]

Great to see that Taito arcade system, that's awesome! I've been reminiscing over and replaying some old Capcom arcade classics recently with the Capcom Arcade Stadium set on Steam (not sure if it's also on consoles). Commando, Ghosts N Goblins, Ghouls N Ghosts, Captain Commando, Final Fight, 1943, Bionic Commando, Strider and so many other classic Capcom arcades in a single set. It's so good to revisit these timeless classics!

[@hammaheadgaming]

Thank you for the video Johnny and Rob! I am still playing through Eastward and Persona 5 Royal. Really taking my time with the games and simply enjoying them!

[@neveza]

The setup and style of Johnny's review delivery made the Egret portion feel like those Seen-on-TV product presentation. Not a knock, it actually gave me a weird nostalgia of watching those TV segments with them trying to sell me cooking appliances. Just missing the "With just three easy payments, you can have your own Egret!"

[@thecouchpotato88]

Great video as always. It's relaxing to watch you guys talk about these games. What I like about this channel is it's very natural and it feels like a chill conversation

[@doowtnehpets]

I've been playing Days Gone. Fantastic game. Severely underrated by critics.

[@itsalolmor]

Very nice to see you, Rob! Wanted to say I followed your recommendation and played through Deedlit, and loved it! Great Symphony of the Night vibes, an interesting enough storyline and a nice challenge overall! Too bad that game is too short, I certainly wanted more of it. I've been playing Elden Ring ever since it came out, and am just finishing my second playthrough now. Will definitely check Tunic out afterwards!

[@volpe_sol]

Tunic is awesome! But damn, it's really damn challenging, i honestly felt like giving up on it many times. It's a thin line between rewarding and frustrating.

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Love love love this series. And always love to see my man Rob! Canadian boys at their finest 🇨🇦

[@bxgeo5180]

You guys just made my day by the way. Just hearing you guys talk about what you're playing and recommend is awesome. You guys made my day thank you

[@BlueIceGallagher]

Happy Sunday, Johnny and all. I’ve been playing Elden Ring and Sekiro.

[@azrazel916]

[@SpaghettiBeard_]

Tunic looks awesome. I hope it will come to either Switch or Playstation over time.

[@FrightF]

Ive been following for a long time and returned to Johnny's enthusiasm recently. I thought hed have a million plus subs, he certainly should!

[@ericoconnell1507]

Love you guys! I am 41 been laying video games for a longg time! Your content makes me happy. Reignite the love within! Also Shenmue thoughts.... the series on AS

[@renato.pastor]

Today I learned Truxton was released for the arcades originally. Had no idea back then, I've played this game SO much back in my Mega Drive days, it has a special place in my heart to this day.

[@quaaludethunder2814]

ELEVATOR ACTION!!!!! Love that game!

[@GeordieLad24]

I’m interested in Tunic after watching this as I’m old school as well and grew up in the 80’s. At the minute I’m playing an older 360 game on Series X via BC Grid 2 a great racing game with a great career mode. Just started playing Resident Evil Village and enjoying it so far as I’ve played every RE game and a fan.

[@adamcorb2974]

It was legitimately so awesome to hear that you played streets of rage 4 till the end with your nephew, like that's such a good memory to have

[@ryoshii7553]

Doing my part: Just finished the Trials of Mana -remake 15 minutes ago. Awesome game.

[@jayt2917]

Now you need to finish the post game bonus stuff . Its worth it

[@ryoshii7553]

Just found this channel like 2 days ago and watching all day since then, like and subscribe!

[@Philroq7]

Elevator Action Returns is on the Saturn only released in Japan but like most of the Saturn titles it is extremely expensive. It was also on the Taito Collection on the PS2. Elevator Action Returns and Ray Force alone are worth getting the Taito Egret for.

[@blastedmcgraw152]

I’m currently on vacation and have been away from games for a week or so, but I was playing Elden Ring obsessively before I left, and will continue to do so when I get home. Loved this video. I’ve been interested in both the Taito Egret II and Tunic, and you guys have pushed me to indulge in both.

[@MichaelSapiro]

Watching your videos is now a Sunday tradition for me! I’m playing: Valkyria Chronicles 4 (it’s just ok), scarlet nexus (2nd run through, this time with my kids), Aaero (rhythm based shooter), and Halo infinite campaign (really enjoying!). Next up is Chrono Cross I’m a few weeks.

[@Lessermetal]

I'm finally starting Xenoblade Chronicles 2! Can't wait to hear what Kim has to say about it lol

[@bigballrecall]

Careful with this game. It's the only game I put in more hours than Botw

[@eyeofthestorm7830]

I'm knee deep in Horizon Forbidden West....covering every inch of the game and taking my time.

[@connorkiss2614]

I've been playing some AtomisWave ports for the Sega Dreamcast which I bought from a Dreamcast Facebook group. These games include Dolphin Blue and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. This Easter long weekend I will be playing the new Lego StarWars game with university friends.

[@connorkiss2614]

Also Rob has completely sold me on Tunic, I hope it comes out on Switch soon

[@DemonKingNemo]

Love your video as always but damn this was a nice one. I've seen Tunic alot of Zelda forums but never cared to check it out. My best friend and I since 2004 grew up playing Zelda together and this video made not only me wanna check Tunic out but refer it to him to which I know he'll love. Thanks guys [=

[@igi4]

Took a break from Elden Ring to play Triangle Strategy and I'm having so much fun. The beginning was a little slow, but when it picks up it's great. Fights are good, I like originality of the classes so far. It brings me back to Final Fantasy Tactics days and I love it.

[@badastronaut7154]

Happy Sunday guys! I’ve been playing through A Plague Tale again. That mini arcade cabinet looks like tons of fun!

[@ProductionsFromBeyon]

Trails of Cold Steel 1! Also casually playing some old Sonic Roms in anticipation of the movie.

[@Swam0811]

I’m currently playing through Final Fantasy 9. It is an amazing game so far.

[@Walamonga1313]

Nice. Best FF imo

[@Victor-wi7vr]

I just beat Metroid Dread for the second time, which is something I rarely do in games nowadays. A few days ago I picked up Triangle Strategy and loving it so far. I haven't decided what I'll be playing next, but I'm really looking forward to Star Trek Resurgence.

[@kadosho02]

Still venturing through Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Plus found 50+ Waddle Dee's. I believe I unlocked the Colosseum. With Kingdom Hearts 4 announced. I might go back and replay 3, and may buy Remind. I did finish the main game, but never dived into ReMind. Ending still bugs me though. But seeing where it leads. Plus still tackling Destiny 2 - The Witch Queen campaign

[@mangoman1073]

“Rob has never seen this I have it tucked down.....” 👀

[@steveafanador6441]

ALWAYS awesome when robman comes by. Like seeing a friend again

[@protodad6151]

Been enjoying Tunic, Kirby, and my current obsession Vagrant Story.

[@kosmosyche]

I want to thank Rob for recommending Infernax in one of the past episodes. I'm playing it right now and I'm having a blast. Such a great throwback to Castlevania Simon's Quest, but more brutal and metal! 🤘 I'm going to try Tunic right after I finish Infernax, cause I think Rob and I have similar tastes. Anyway, keep those duo episodes coming, it's cool to see you discussing games you play and shit.

[@joshuaekstedt1810]

Been playing Super Cyborg on the switch and having a blast. Got the game downloaded for about 3 bucks and it has been so much fun. One of the better old school platformers I've played in a while. Great music, great graphics and a great challenge. Def. a tribute to the Contra series. I'd highly recommend getting it while it's dirt cheap!

[@Rauv4000]

Yaay! Always good stuff in this channel. Great to see John and Rob again!

[@echoineternity8087]

Love you guys thanks for the content John/Rob

[@Henjo29]

I totally forgot about Rastan Saga! I put a few coins is back in the day.

[@davidestabrooks211]

I just finished my playthrough of Horizon Forbidden West. 88 hours of play time and 98% completed just because I beat it and didn't care to go and farm out the scanning of machines and a few parts to craft the last legendary armour. Have a few missing data logs as well but even using online guides couldn't find them and found multiple posts of people saying no one had found them yet but what an experience. Have some problems with the story but still enjoyed my time with it. Ready to move on though. Debating what to play next between Omori, Chicory and Death's Door.

[@TheLastCrystal1]

You know, your Chrono Cross review was the first one I saw last week, and it was kinda strange to me when other people mention the frame rate issues, throwing down arguments about what a lame remastered this one is. Well, I've been in your channel from a couple of years now, and knowing you now hits me...you really enjoy the game for what it is, and that is a more honest and genuine take for a game like this. That is the kind of review I always look for. The technical aspects are important, but if you can play an old school game as it should, it really don't bother me. Thank you man. Greetings from México.

[@orionschutt]

I picked up Chrono Cross too and it’s been great. These older games don’t need to be upgraded too much because it changes the experience of what it was like to play it back in the day, including the frame rate. I like that. I got rid of my PS1 years ago and I was so excited to play it again.

[@tylerpeck9754]

Been re-playing Days Gone on ps4, splitgate, rocket league, mega man collection on xbox one..

[@spursdynasty7378]

Days Gone needs more respect ! It’s too bad they’re not making a sequel…Sony could have promoted it better.

[@Tactics117]

Thank you. I love these episodes. Rob is the greatest. I'll have to play Tunic now.

[@Mojo__]

Im playing Earthbound and the Batman Arkham Games. Just got through Master Belch at Grapefruit falls at 3 am yesterday and im at Arkham City in the Batman games.

[@ShadowDancer0988]

Rastan is a brilliant game. I'm too young to have played it in the arcade, but it was the game I enjoyed the most when I got the Taito collection for PS2 back in the day. Shame Nastar Warrior wasn't as good.

[@hayatimohdjamin2644]

Juz finished playing I am Setsuna. Love your video content which is very refreshing.

[@CaptAwesumNo1Zone]

I literally shit my pants when I seen that Empire City 1931 was available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, I haven't seen or played that game in almost 30 yrs, it's a game I remember playing with everyone I knew at the time, many not alive today, took me back to a good place, I was very young

[@tarantinoish]

Well that must of been a pain to clean up.

[@grahamgilmore42]

On top of Elden Ring and Kirby, I’ve been having a lot of fun going back to Tetris Effect to get my rank up on a bunch of modes.

[@krum1985]

I've recently gotten back into Final Fantasy XIV, but I also just finished The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, so now I'll have a break over easter before continuing on the Legend of Heroes saga =)

[@AaronMT]

Nice to see you Rob. Tunic indeed looks amazing. Gonna pick it up! For me, I just finished playing through Final Fantasy IX for the very first time, and I can see why it was very special. It's a fantastic game all around and the rumors of the remake have certainly peaked my interest.

[@oneupdawg]

That Eschatos Ost is fire, Johnny. Nice touch

[@Deadono]

Great video as always! I've been playing Mass Effect 2 and Soul Hackers, both great games. After I've finished those, I have to get back to Streets of Rage 4 and play it all the way through. Same with Judgment and Ys VIII. A large backlog can be a negative thing but with these games, I'm really excited.

[@tylerpeck9754]

yea im excited to get and play Tunic..looks like a TON of fun!

[@femtrooper]

Wow, Tunic looks super cool! Really unique concept for modern times, so that was neat to learn about! I’m currently playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land and just beat Yakuza: Like a Dragon (mind blown!!!)!

[@ganggreen1983]

Survival mode on SOR4 Survival mode is all I’ve been playing. Been thinking about playing through Hollow Knight again before Silk Song. If it ever comes out.

[@kevinconnor3187]

That is so cool!, with the way u can rotate the game screen.

[@CoffinSkate]

A new Happy Console Gamer episode? On my birthday?! Oh fuck yeah. That aside, been playing Elden Ring, and it is one of, if not, the best open world RPG I have played in years. Of course, the combat is really fun, and the game is challenging. But oh my gosh, the open world gameplay is second to none. The absolute freedom of being able to go anywhere without the game holding my hand is incredible. The game gives a somewhat vague direction on where to go, but you can just go off and explore. It is just such a wonderful game, and the world itself is so beautiful. Absolutely love this game.

I've been playing a few games lately. I've been playing Sly Cooper 3, Resident evil revelations, bloodborne, man of medan, and ghost recon breakpoint. Tunic looks like such a beautiful old school game that I really want to play. I really like hearing Johnny and Rob talking about what games their playing especially ones that I have never heard of before like Tunic.

[@Walamonga1313]

Nice, I really want to play Revelations since I never actually beat it on PS3 (have it on PC now) but I'm just obsessed playing Elden Ring pvp

[@dcashley303]

Elevator Action Returns is awesome, remember playing it a lot on the Taito Legends compilation.

[@ocelott3348]

I am with Rob, Tunic is great. Also I have started Chrono Cross. It is fun and it makes me wish Square Enix does the FF Pixel remaster on Switch. Hopefully with a physical version.

Happy to hear the Elevator Action Returns love, phenomenal game! I have it on one of the Taito PS2 collections, but it's not an ideal port, and the Saturn version is hard to find for under $200 these days, even domestically in Japan. I'm now seriously considering picking up the Egret Mini now after hearing your thoughts. If PuLiRuLa is on it by some miracle, I'll buy it tomorrow!
