Japan Only PS1 Games Vol.11 | Sean Seanson

[@Pridetoons]

"It's either you die a hero or live long enough to make Sword Art Online games I guess." I love your channel. You need more subscribers just for this line alone. 🤣

[@akiradkcn]

Sounds like a great thing, SAO is pretty good after all

[@Geno746]

I think Kaze no NOTAM would work really well as a photography game. Where you have to take pictures of specific landmarks and gameplay revolves with trying to find the place and needing to take a picture of it.

[@SeanSeanson]

Ohhh that would be perfect

[@warehousedave7937]

Best PS1 content on KZbin. Thank you for providing.

[@warehousedave7937]

*Thank you wheely much

[@DookieKingBlu]

[@TheLaughingSimon]

One of my favourite things about this series is the OST suggestions. That Kaze no NOTAM sountrack is something else.

[@petemc4190]

Credit where credit is due you've found an answer to a life question we never knew needed answering "why are there so many hot air balloon rides but no hot air balloon driving experiences"?

[@w1ntermode]

New Sean Seanson video! A great way to end a long work week. Hope all is well :)

[@Pridetoons]

Agreed

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

You and Thorhighheels have become my favourite retro gaming content on KZbin (I hate that games made when I was a teenager are retro now but here we are), also both seriously under-watched and subscribed. Thor has grown a lot since I started watching him, but you having only 7.25K subs so far is a crime.

[@Gatorade69]

How about a Willem Orb ?

[@SystemST91]

The game "Kaze no NOTAM" looks breathtaking and apart from the wonderful low-poly atmosphere that I love, there is also perfect music. It reminds me a bit of OST from other fantastic Artdink games, "No One Can Stop Mr. Domino". Which has the same sound designers namely Shingo Murakami and Ryuji Nishida. Rather, I think there could be a connection with the musical style of both games ... only that there is more relaxation. I really love both soundtracks and they inspire me until now. Thanks so much for Rewiev!!!😄👍

[@beat-man5167]

kaze no notam's got an immaculate vibe. I love the Hiroshi Nagai box art, soundtrack, and lowpoly graphics. I've seen Vinny play Screaming Mad George's Paranoiascape. The music didn't play so it was more unsettling. This game is an unfiltered purely artist-driven game.

[@MediumQuality]

I discovered Kaze No Notam on Spotify earlier this year, and I had no idea that it was a video game.

[@DogeyYT]

i just bought kaze no notam and its soundtrack is so good its unbelievable

[@LightFykki]

That Kaze no Notam soundtrack and visuals just brought me back like it is late 90's / early 20's again ..

[@EggmanDrCuckooMan]

One suggestion I'd like to make for the non-Japan wheel is Sentient - a Psygnosis game that's a really weird mish-mash of adventure and space station simulator with ambition that far exceeds what it's really capable of. Highly detailed conversation systems, difficulty settings that include a "respect for player" slider, strangely deep lore, amazing FMVs, twelve endings and a soundtrack that only exists as a deluxe edition exclusive CD you're supposed to play alongside the game (which is thankfully on KZbin). I think it's a game that really deserves a spotlight. That, or Broken Helix, because I want to see someone suffer through that.

[@SeanSeanson]

Since somebody already picked Broken Helix and Id like to avoid any potential suffering, I'll add the very ambitious Sentient on your behalf instead :)

[@FICTiVETRUiSM]

Your videos continue to show me how weird, interesting and varied the PS1 library is. There is nothing like it. Thanks again for the quality entertainment!

[@billcook4768]

That first games looks tots fun. But as your collecting chocoballs to improve your jump height so you can reach those high out of the way photo booths, can I just point out that YOU ARE A BIRD. Fly damnit

[@Kainlarsen]

Screaming Mad George's work was definitely a huge influence on Nana's work.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

YES! Kaze no NOTAM! Wheel finally gave you the game I wanted to review the most. There's very few "screensaver" games that feel as relaxing as this (others being underwater diving games or photography based games) Glad you looked into Artdink. I also recommend looking into their signature strategy game, A-Train series. Older A-trains barely look like games and more of a simulation

[@stirredwhiskey]

"MORNING LESCUE!" is the Japanese ad that has stayed rent free in my head for well over a decade at this point. Really happy to see Artdink even if it's not the caveman game. Will definitely check out Notam's soundtrack!

[@shards-of-glass-man]

A bit bittersweet to check ParanoiaScape off the list so "early" (yes, I've been waiting for it among other things), but I'm sure there are plenty other similar surprises waiting in the wheengs.

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

This video will provide a nice distraction from my time playing through the Rugrats Game Boy games. :)

[@RWSCOTT]

oh, man. Thanks for recommending Kaze no Notam's soundtrack, you're absolutely right, it's outstanding.. wow! Cheers! -R

[@Highretrogamelord]

YAY! Another volume of "Japan Only PS1 Games! 非常にすばらしい！ Game 1: Oh, I remember the bird from the Japanese commercial (in fact if you look up compilations of Japanese commercials on KZbin there is a good chance you will find in there). Nowadays I have to think of Gammamon saying he wants his champion (which is what he says to chocolate) when I see those chocolate balls. Anyways, the game seems to be surprisingly good. Surprisingly because commercial- and mascot-based games can be a hit or miss. Game 2: There isn't much to say besides that the level layout(s) look ... bland. Game 3: I have actually watched a small gameplay footage of that game recently and I thought to myself that the game looks very relaxing. Seems there is more to it than meets the eyes. Game 4: What if a game like *LSD: Dream Emulator* would be a 3D pinball game? Well, here is the answer. Thank you so much for another very informative and fun video!

[@afishsparadise5150]

Dude the amount of work u put into these videos actually makes my head spin. Your production value and style is some high quality shit and the amount of depth you go into with these videos makes me very happy. Keep going brother!! 🙏🙏💖

[@MidBoss666]

As a huge fan of body horror, rock and pinball, I can't believe I didn't know of Paranoia Scape until now, but I'm also so bloody happy I got to know it now. Thanks a lot ^^

[@Steadysphere]

Ahhhhhhhh more Japan goodness! Quite the mixed up line-up as always. Dangem kind of disappointed as that opening movie set a lofty bar it never could meet. Another top episode Sean!

[@chrilz1498]

I’m so glad you loved Kaze no Notam’s OST! That game has been on my list to one day acquire and try after stumbling upon and falling in love with the music a couple years ago. Cheers, Sean, thanks for another excellent video ✌🏻

[@bloodywolf9317]

Just listened to the whole Kaze No NOTAM ost and oh my Wheel that is some seriously chill vibes❤

[@gamesystem540]

The best thing you could ever done by talking about Dangan, is to name The Red Star as a reference on beat them all/shoot them up. This game is f-cking awesome, one of my all time favourite games on PS2 !! I used to play it again a ton of times with friends, on multiplayer is absolutly dope and addictive. So sad Dagan is that bad... All the other games are really interesting. I heard about the hot air balloon simalutor, it seems much more interesting what I though ! Pretty unique experience for sure. The bird plat-former seems great but sadly too expensive for what it is and tha last one is why I watch this kind of videos: there's always that completly weird game hidden in the PS1 library ! Thank you for the video and see you in the next one !

[@SeanSeanson]

Always nice to see a fellow Red Star enjoyer :)

[@AlexPalheta]

This channel deserves so much more! Thank you for your content. I've discovered you last week and I'm simply binging all your videos! The wheel will provide always!

[@Nate1979]

Kaze no Notam is absolutely beautiful. Love your work, Sean. Cheers!

[@CarlMakesVideos]

Oh, I think those Choco balls and the bird mascot inspired the names of Chocobos from Final Fantasy. I think that's one of those trivia bits that's unconfirmed, but pretty much assumed.

[@SeanSeanson]

Damn that would make a lot of sense. I hope that's true!

[@WiKiStudios]

Holy moly! Wasn’t expecting to be picked by the viewer wheel in this one. I found ParanoiaScape out from Did You Know Gaming and thought it was one of the craziest and most insane games I have ever seen. Very awesome video as always!

[@SeanSeanson]

Congrats on the win! Was a great one to show off :)

[@ArtOfPiel]

thank you for all the good work you put in these videos. whenever I watch one, it's the highlight of the day !

[@fictionalmediabully9830]

Second Comment: Now that you've mentioned commercials being your favourite to watch as an infant, a lot of the ones before the turn of the millennium are ridiculously surreal. My favourite is the Australian commercial for the original Nintendo, which basically has 3D abominations of video game characters from Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt, and Gyromite repeating the same "You Cannot Beat Us" sentence with unsettling robot voices. Such a weird commercial that either frightened or motivated children. I heard the NES did fairly well in Australia, especially compared to the UK, but yikes, what a rough first impression, lol.

[@SeanSeanson]

Oh I'll have to check that out! Sounds right up my alley

[@gammaphonic]

I love Kaze no Notam. I imported it a few years ago just for the soundtrack. It’s a banger. And a really chill game too.

[@shards-of-glass-man]

Also as far as Japanese commercials go, Sakeru Gummi is a meme classic

[@SeanSeanson]

Ay you know what's up

[@mikem0898]

of course people behind "no one can stop mr domino" also made a baloon game that trascends generations

[@pulpodesigner]

The amount of effort and love you put into your videos is amazing, you're my favorite retro youtuber ever! And if is not already in the wheel I would like to suggest the game "Germs: Nerawareta Machi", a very curious and ambitious 3d adventure I would love to see you trying. Keep up the awesome work, your videos are a real blessing!

[@SeanSeanson]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥺 Great choice, its a game I'd love to try, even if just to explore the world. I'll get it added for you now friend!

[@olivefuzzball5797]

Now those were some games!! What a great video, I can’t wait for the next 😁.

[@Freshbrood]

As a modded PSclassic owner in love with it, your chanel is perfect.

[@DiddlyDiPotatoes]

For a game based on a chocolate mascot Kyoro-chan sure looks nice. Reminds me of Super Tempo in a way.

[@stefanoiulli5462]

Same Pixel Art Artist

[@FuzzyFuraFura]

I loved that Kyoro chan ad too but I thought it was the main character in Scrubs (can't think of his name) and that's why I saw it. Had the chocolate eventually they're like poppets if you've had those

[@FuzzyFuraFura]

I've played Paranioscape and forgot, brought it all back 😂😰 I remember thinking of the Parodius boss with the legs

[@Geno746]

Sean did you help save that singular donkey. I appreciate that the commercial is to help a singular donkey but not all donkeys.

[@SeanSeanson]

[@cyn1stre]

Maybe you already heard that, but your content reminds me of ThorHighHeels videos which is, honestly, a compliment since I had never found another content maker like him until today. Thanks for your work and count me in for future videos !

[@Heaaaps]

Loved the Intro 😂 another amazing video. You deserve way more subs m8 its ridiculous. Gonna finish last 30 mins tomorrow morning. Screaming mad George looks mental 😅

[@SeanSeanson]

The videos are just an ode to winning streak haha. Appreciate it man!

[@zombie_catgirl]

nooo!!! that damn commercial!! now its stuck in my head again!!!

[@chriscloete8688]

I'd pay good money to hear Sean say "third person 3D RNG based RPG"

[@SeanSeanson]

thats the 100k sub surprise video

[@PSXGamingMemories]

Great video, the 1st game i had been looking at just recently & was thinking of making a video on it as it looks really cool but now that I've seen it in action, yea its definitely worth trying out. I played Dangan a while back & I agree it has a cool concept but that's really it, I got bored playing it & couldn't get past a narrow corridor section on one of the later levels with loads of turrets & respawning enemies so I just gave up, really frustrating. I never heard about Kaze no NOTAM & I like it, very quirky, unique, very experimental for sure. I seen images of Paranoia Scape a few months back & I agree it is definitely out there, that's for sure but I agree with you on the PS1 being an unfiltered era for ideas and experimentation, thats why its my favorite console, it really had something for everyone! If we didn't have experimental games like these both good & bad, games today I think would be very different! Again Awesome video, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@SeanSeanson]

Thanks man, appreciate you watching!

[@PlaylistGeneral]

Holy shit that last game looks incredible - that dude truly seems like a cool creative maniac XD

[@salokin3087]

[@konamiman87]

I'm new here and going through all the back catalog of your videos. And thanks to the obscure and japan only ps1 series I have over a hundred ps1 games on my steam deck. I will watch another video on here then add 5 ps1 games to my steam deck so umm thanks lol.

[@MakopoweredGaming]

This was another fantastic episode! Just letting me know that Kaze no Notam is a thing makes it worth watching, but it's high quality all the way through, as usual. Dangan is disappointing, though - the premise sounds SO GOOD, but... Nope... * Sighs *

[@gearspecRBX]

Great series man. Enjoying it.

[@Pridetoons]

I love this channel.

[@misanthropicdeus6896]

Man, pretty awesome video :D. Would choose for the wheel which challenges Paranoia Scape in its weirdness and uniqueness and that would be Germs: Nerawareta Machi. Some describe it a mix of a Detective game, LSD Dream Emulator and Kings Field. Sadly its pretty much unplayable without japanese but the cover alone and the visuals.... Its a pretty ambitious game and just walking through the city is a exprience in itself.

[@SeanSeanson]

Was hoping somebody would pick Germs eventually! I'll get it added for you now :)

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

Been vibing to notam of wind’s soundtrack for some years now. Kinda lofi 90s trip hop. Basically turns the game into an interactive music video. If you dig that check out Digital Dreamware for 3do, which is really just that. Also shout out to Hiroshi Nagais immaculate art! Damn Dangan, you could be a fun game. I’d love to see a top down beat em up! Wasn’t kyoro chan also used for a port of an c64 game with the turning tower? And again so close to my pick… but I love weird video pinball games. Great genre. And now I wonder if you know the Zeiram movies, anime and games?

[@SeanSeanson]

You've got good taste! I'm sad I've been sleeping on Notams OST for so long. It's really one of the consoles finest. I'll look into Digital Dreamware, somebody in the comments recomended a PS1 game called Fluid as well which seems to do something similar. Yeah the first Kyoro Chan gameboy game is just a reskin of that turning tower game, the actual name escapes me but I had the original on a pirate cart years ago. I feel bad, I don't think any game has gotten so close to being picked more than yours haha. It'll happen eventually :)

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

@@SeanSeanson the 3do game has music by Coldcut, you might have heard of them. There is also baby universe, a 3d caleidoscope, on the ps1. Castelian is the original title for that kyoro game.

[@chicheater]

This is kind of a late comment but I'm only watching these now Sean did you know that FF Chocobos were based with Kyoro-chan in mind? Hence the sound "kweh" that came from what we can hear in that comercial. I've been loving these videos man, the first I watched was SquareSoft's PS1 lineup. I'm a sucker for PS1 games ahahah, keep up the good work.

[@SeanSeanson]

I know right, what a cool fact! Funny how influential that little bird would go on to be!

The weirdest are all the Casino ones because now there just all like please dont spend to much money on us and the whole ad is just warning you not to vist them.

The wheel has provided some interesting ones this time. I've played Kyoro-chan & Kaze no Notam and I enjoyed both. Especially Kyoro-chan. Notam is Artdink at amongst their most creative and inspiration for thatgamecompany with Flower and Journey. My suggestion is Loop or Lup*Salad.

[@SeanSeanson]

It sure did! I'll get that added to the list for you now :)

[@classiccustoms2010]

I actually knew about Kyoro-chan (the mascot) through one of Vinny Vinesauce's commercial streams, so seeing that bird in a video game is a bit of a shock to me as well.

[@TheLastPhoen1x]

NOTAM is an abbreviation of NOtice To Air Men (or Air Missions, since in 2024 saying word "men" is sexist), which includes information for pilots. From my limited knowledge of aviation they don't include wind directions though (unless it's hurricane level), that's what ATIS is for alongside other weather report info, but maybe it was different when this game was made, or maybe they didn't mean anything by "NOTAM of Wind" title.
