[@NitroRad]

NOTE: Just since a lot of people are bringing it up, I had no idea about the thing where player two could shoot at enemies as Floyd. Wish I figured that out so I could've put it in the video!

[@AFlyingCoconut]

And it was the only way I could play JFG without my younger brother annoying me.. Hand him the 2nd controller and he gets to shoot things as Floyd, while I play the actual game :P All this is really making me want to boot up my old N64 and check out where I left off my save.. I think I only had 2 levels where I hadn't found every Tribal, so I never got the real ending :(

[@devingiles6597]

Nitro Rad, can you please review Rocket: Robot on Wheels for Nintendo 64?

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I was also curious how well you took to the Floyd missions!

[@diegosaez4885]

Ah yes, I remember this. My brother and I discover it by accident when he got stuck on the mantis brothers boss fight as he eventually run out of ammo. We where curious about Floyd, stuck a second controller for me and starting mashing buttons to find out it has a pitiful gun but has infinine ammo, so we ended up having him move Juno side to side to dodge the bosses while I shooted at them with Floyd. Those were the days...

[@stetsonherrick8090]

Floyd's blasters were the same stuff you used for the Pistol, but they were unlimited and you could even control your rate of fire by how fast you mash your buttons. Unlike the Pistol, Floyd doesn't have to wait for recharge after the 5-6 initial shots.

[@Dekuwarrior]

I really like that game. Kind of a hidden gem imo.

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

That was originally a Donkey Kong Spin Off game, right?

[@MediaMunkee]

@@TommyDeonauthsArchives Yeah it was originally Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers, an... isometric Tetris thingy? The game design stayed the same (minus the isometric view) but they must have lost the DK license or something because Mr. Pants wasn't exactly a mascot that was going to move copies and IIRC the game sold basically nothing. Edit: The change happened when Rare was sold to Microsoft, so yeah. Last-ditch effort to salvage the game they'd been working on.

[@salsamonkey65]

You can see him on the TV in the Polar Bears' igloo in Banjo-Tooie as well

[@Fryguy64]

He was originally created in MS Paint for the Rare website letters page when they couldn't find a render of a Rare character to use in time. Mr. Pants then started showing up in a bunch of cameos and eventually got his own game on Game Boy Advance. He is hilarious!

[@Hylianguy38]

The title screen for Mario Party changes depending on which character won the previous game. For example, if Donkey Kong won the previous game, the title screen shows all the characters in the jungle area swinging on vines.

[@BobbyGamingTrue]

Hylianguy38 Portal 2 changes the menu based on the point in the game you’re up to as well

[@bloodninja123]

That game came out 21 years ago and I'm just now finding out how the title screen is picked. I honestly always thought it was just randomly selected

[@npc_blob1609]

Most Source games show a different area of the game based on where you're at - Half Life 2, HL Source, Portal 1/2, probably more.

[@Kafei2006]

The Jet Force Kids cheat gives them the appearance they were supposed to have in-game at a certain point during development. In the beta, Juno and Vela were indeed supposed to be much younger. Ants as Pants transforms the drones into Mr. Pants, another Rareware character referenced in many different games. The character eventually got its own puzzle game on Game Boy Advance: "It's Mr. Pants". Oh and, yeah, it WAS pretty awesome to see the reflection in the water puddle back in 1999 ^^.

[@SiennaReborn21]

This game feels like it could've used some sort of revival. It has such a cool world and visual design, and some interesting ideas.

[@tenyokensekia8088]

This is 2 years late, but I agree. I would love this getting a revival with tighter controls. And think of the environments potential! As Rad said, the abandoned space station has this amazing atmosphere. Imagine that but with today's engines. Jetforce Gemini has a special place in my heart.

[@SupremeMarioGamer]

This might just be me, but I'd love a video on American McGee's Alice. I don't see _anyone_ talk about that game so some exposure would be cool.

[@diegorojas2049]

And it would help give exposure for the upcoming 3 game

[@Dr0dd]

Which is strange, considering how popular it was. Maybe just too much a product of its time to be much remembered?

[@JTHMSqueeMrEffDBoy]

That's one of those series that I wanted to like, but just ended up being okay. It has some neat visual elements, but the concept and story feel way too middle-school for me to enjoy now (seriously, the second game devolved into some kind of edgy revenge fantasy......like, really?). Ultimately, it felt rather shallow and just made me wish the more interesting elements were in better hands.

[@sharkhammr]

@@diegorojas2049 wait there's a third one coming out?

[@indigowendigo8165]

^ I was thinking the same thing. XD A third one, huh...? Oh yeah, didn't the first seem like a proper ending but the second was a cliffhanger? I hope it's good. :p

[@fingiess]

half-life 2 and its subsequent EPs also all changed the main menu screen depending on where you are in the story, I was always really fond of that.

[@TEMINIX]

The last two (new) Resident Evil games had written summations of where you were at in the game during loading screens. It's unsettling to think about the amount of work and writing that went into those, that will never be seen. The only possible way to read them all, would be if someone were to move from every single minor set-piece, saving and reloading the game, just to read them.

[@Lulink013]

Xenoblade chronicles 2 also did that. Too bad most people miss them since you can put the console in sleep mode to avoid having to launch the game each time.

[@thesilverw0lf]

Portal 2 as well. Can't remember if Portal 1 did so too...

[@AuroraAce.]

I think spec ops the line did it as well with the environment around your characters camp become more withered and worn

[@WangleLine]

[@ssscout]

[@NanaKyoto]

Imagine if the N64 controller had two control sticks, then surely aiming would be less of a hassle.

[@MikeThePsykat]

There's a control setting that lets you move fully with the C buttons while aiming. It's not perfect, and takes some getting used to, due to jumping with C Up, but it does help. Then again, what you're talking about is an option on the Rare Re-play collection, so there's always that.

[@dimples9746]

I’m pretty sure it’s fixed in Rare Replay. I haven’t played it, but Conker’s Bad Fur Day uses the right control stick for the camera and aiming.

[@newguy371]

You say that, but most people actually weren't fans of dual stick aiming when it was first done on the PSone, but I would chock that up partly to analogue sticks being optional on the PSone.

[@jeremyjulkowski4844]

To this day, Jet Force Gemini's orchestral sounding score remains a personal highlight in my game soundtrack collection with its profound sense of scale and evocative themes that still make me listen to it intently this day. Not certain if it's still possible, but many years back I was able to download each and every track of JFG's original score directly from Rareware's website and I'm glad they made it available for free public download when they did as no official commercial OST was ever released back then, or now, I think. Going back to Jet Force Gemini itself, this was a fantastic N64 game for me to pass my free time while being an electronic tech student back during the twilight years of the N64 and the games overall atmosphere conveyed an epic, grandiose sense of scale and exploration of each level. However, as pointed out in this video, Jet Force Gemini also began the wretched, repetitive formula of mandating each character to return to already explored levels in order for them to unlock specific paths and that became an infamous game design flaw even more heavily emphasized (I think for me and many others) in Donkey Kong 64, where each Kong character was required to unlock specific puzzles, doors and alternate pathways. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! Anyway, I still love Jet Force Gemini for all of Rare's dedication to the N64 platform and how well they utilized the hardware in what is still today a visual, musical and cinematic marvel. Though, it's been a while since its release, I wonder if the control scheme for Jet Force Gemini on Retro Replay on Xbox One has ever been updated to suit a more contemporary button and joystick layout as the last time I played it, I found the controls overly cumbersome, but then again, they weren't exactly intuitive on N64 either from what I remember.

[@dubioustheatreyt8096]

HalfLife2 actually has something similar to Gemini's title screen, where depending where you are in the game, the background will change. They're both quite cool!

That reflection from the bucket of water is even more impressive when you realize it was probably made via instancing the scene. So there's two versions of that scene being rendered: There's the one that you're seeing and the other is mirrored under the character. That means if you were to take the camera and clip through the ground, you'd see the character models and room as it appears in the reflection.

It's the little things that leave an impression sometimes.

It'd be really nice for a game that you'd expect to start and stop often, like an RPG or a mobile game etc.

A friend of mine loves this game, and I got to watch him play the whole thing once. One thing I found pretty cool is that the second player can take control of that little robot (the thing hovering over the character's left shoulder at 13:14) and help out by shooting things and whatnot. He had me do that once or twice... which he probably regretted, since I accidentally killed a few Tribals, thus forcing him to replay the whole stage all over again. ...Oops. Ah well, we both still had fun anyway. lol

Needless to say, I didn't finish it (that second half gets everybody) but I did have a really good time just exploring and playing through it until I'd had my fill. I think it's worth at least checking out, but definitely not completing. Thanks for covering an old favourite of mine!

The brilliant mixture of action/adventure and third person shooter genres mixed with a colorful and cartoonish sci-fi setting was very captivating for me. And the breathtaking space opera style music was some of the best I've ever heard on the N64. Even today, I still listen to "SS Anubis" or "Sekhmet" sometimes.

I'll always remember getting this game for Christmas in 2001 along with the N64, my first console. I was 10 at the time and Jet Force Gemini was my favorite game that I owned for the N64. So much nostalgia. I love the classic N64 games, but I've probably played this more then all of them, aside from the 007 games, because I played those long before I owned an N64 at friends' and family's houses. I got the N64 after most people I knew had a GameCube, PS2, or XBOX. I was so stoked.

[@MrMarinus18]

24:45 I really like it. One thing I also really like is how it showed the Star Fox team down on their luck. That they are warriors and without a war they just degrade and fall into disrepair. For me at least showing that the characters can have theirs ups and downs really helps make them more believable. It also makes it so good to see them back in their prime during Assault. Knowing they had to work for it and that this is a state in their lives rather than some status quo. I also really like how it focused exclusively on 1 planet and therefore got people to connect to it. It gave the Sauria mission in assault which is by far my favorite as it felt so much more personal. I kind of hope they will do something like that again at some point. Not necessarily the exact same thing but make a smaller scale Starfox game. That focuses on just 1 planet and really goes into it's people, it's beliefs, it's geography and everything. That's why regardless of the quality of the game itself I do think it's inclusion in the Star fox franchise is overwhelmingly positive. Assault showed that Star Fox could evolve which is why I don't like Zero from the moment it appeared. It felt more like a regression than anything else. I never really had any attachment to 64. I did try it but it just felt like an inferior version of Assault in pretty much every way.

[@maxwell_edison]

Can you play Metal Arms: Glitch in the System? It's a very under-rated game with cute robots, platforming and action. I think it deserves some love

[@DolusVulpes]

Music absolutely has a language, and it's meant to speak to and evoke emotions or mirror events. As such, your read of Lost Colony's theme is probably accurate.

[@jacksonteller3973]

hell yeah I love that theme and actually a lot more people like the mech stages then you'd think, I loved them personally.

[@TBoneTony]

I played this back when it was released. Jet Force Gemini was a blast to play and I even written a fanfiction out of it based on the close sibling relationship between Juno and Vela when they were in the middle of a life and death battle. Really good game but it does have its share of control issues in regards to trying to convert it to the XBox One platform. It was clearly made around the N64 controller. The last boss Mizar was impossible for me to beat so I can say I played though all of the game back in the day but could never get to see the final scenes after the final boss due to how difficult it was. Boss battles were really the weakness of this game. But I still love it, but needs a strategy guide to get all of the Tribals in order to get to the final level.

I'm just glad that his focus is on actually putting out material and not going for production values that are *too* high for not much difference in the actual content *cough* JonTron *cough*

I swear when i saw this comment i was like "wait, have 20 minutes passed already?!"

According to his Twitter, he actually had the review finished a couple days ago, but he wanted to grab footage for the Rare Replay footage, so he had to wait for it to come in, then try it out on his friends xBox one.

StarFox Adventures was really good. I had more fun with Adventures than with nearly every Zelda game.

[@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450]

“It doesn’t play like every other Star Fox game and it is a spin-off, therefore it’s terrible. I’m just going to play Starfox 64 for the rest of my life :(“ For an actual opinion, Adventures is alright for me. Better than the DS Zelda Games, Oracle of Seasons and Ages, Zelda 1 and 2, and TBH Majora’s Mask, so that’s something.

[@neintimesthegeek1337]

@@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450 I'm tired of the 64 remakes and reboots. Star fox Assault and Commands are things too. So do something with those

[@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450]

Neintendew I forgot about command- That game is terrible. But yeah, these SF64 remakes are getting ridiculous. The exact same thing happened in Starfox, Starfox 64, and Starfox Zero. They need to try something new without going too far from the source material, but not so close that it might as well be a remake.

Oh man, I fucking loved Starfox Adventures as a kid! I didn’t know the other games were nothing like it until I was way older, it was pretty disappointing to realize how much everyone hated it.

[@Goblinboy666]

Thank you for covering this game! I thought it was some sort of fever dream I had as a kid

[@Blue-tl9bs]

Yes! Someone is talking about this game! This is one of my favorites and I'm glad it's getting shown in the light, it deserves it.

[@shinyneko8136]

Can you review Banjo Kazooie or Donkey Kong 64 after you do Starfox Adventure? (Assuming thats what you were foreshadowing at the end)

“This is the first game I’ve seen with a lot of title screens” Mario Kart 8: Am I a joke to you?

[@tomatooverlord2764]

3:46 "I don't think I know any other games that do that!" Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will add characters to the title screen as you add them to your party, and they'll change outfits depending on what part of the game you're at. I believe the sequel does this too, but I don't remember it as much as the original's title screen.

[@moikoi6933]

This is my favorite game of all time, I'm so happy you did a video on it!

[@setteplays]

What happened to Kyle's tie? It's transcending. AND DID YOU SAY TOA GALI? Waiting for some shitty Bionicle games review now. And looking for that SFA review even more, I love this game. I just don't like the respawning imps/little_dinosaur_thingies_that_fly_and_scream_at_you

[@Dargonhuman]

Oh my God, there were so many terrible Bionicle games... A few good ones though, but so, so many bad ones.

[@setteplays]

@@Dargonhuman I'd say there are like 2 good ones lol

Um, should I be worried about the whole head ripping off thing..? All Ants or just ones of the "Dude" variety?

[@candlejack101]

20:30 there a classic rare character usually used in cameos, his name is Mr Pants, it being the highest makes sense for a gift to "in the know" rare fans

[@TEMINIX]

I love this game. You have championed platformers from all eras, but this game is so often forgotten. Even with the Rare Replay, it was barely mentioned. Thank you for bringing it to a wider audience.

[@darkIkarus]

Wheren't there a dubbed introduction where it clearly says "MAIZA"?

[@ReesesBees]

darkIkarus I always heard “MIZAR” whenever I heard fhat

[@ZetZatar]

Nitro Rare episode! Yeah, Rare had some sub-par titles even when they were under Nintendo. Their logo is golden, but all their games are not.

[@twin3290]

I effing love this game! THANK you for bringing it back

[@komlat253]

looking back at this game and I can't help but feel this game is literally perfect omg. I'm so in love with this. it's still hold up so well to games now a days
