JJ Squawkers review [Arcade] - SNESdrunk

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

That parrot walks with a determination I've never seen before.

[@argylemanni280]

You can squawk the squawk, but can you walk the walk?

[@j0nnyism]

Moves and throws tomatoes with determination too. It’s one aggressive parrot

[@fylosofyk5220]

That Dusty Baker dig is my immediate favorite thing. Well done, sir.

I did not see a Dusty Baker reference coming in this review, but it was well done.

[@zagrebaria]

Idk why but your videos help me with my depression and other issues... Throwback to childhood + your voice Keep up the good work!

[@WhitePointerGaming]

Looks like an early 90's version of Cuphead.

[@bes03c]

That flower reminded me of Cuphead.

[@thejervis86]

I think most of these oddball games inspired it.

[@bauernkind8595]

Exactly what I instand though! 😅

[@atflst6053]

Thought exactly the same, this is Cuphead Zero.

[@j0nnyism]

Alternate reality cup head if that reality was hell

[@ZakuIIKai]

Love this game. Happened upon it last time I went to Galloping Ghost Arcade. Played through with a friend and it was some of the most fun I had gaming in a while.

[@scottnotpilgrim]

That rest of your day outro sounds so sincere. Part of the reason why I enjoy this channel so much

[@retrovortex624]

I think the answer to your question is: technical capability. These arcade platformers usually look, play (framerate wise), animate and have effects way better than a home console could pull off at the time. I think some games might of had home ports planned but just never got a publisher or just couldn't be scaled back enough to keep that arcade feel. Game back then were also made with a lot of pride and passion. (Not to say games aren't these days but back then there were plenty of wannabe breakout companies going all out on a passion project and a lot of them failed. The idea of "playing it safe" and making things to target demographics and yearly refreshes and reused engines weren't as industry standard as they are today)

[@retrovortex624]

You think SNK made all those home console ports yet still had their own consoles despite that being a bad financial idea. The reason is because they felt the SNES and Megadrive wasn't really good enough for their games. I mean of course they wanted to be the leaders of home console too but if wasn't purely a market control profitability ideology. And those ports were often very solid home console ports too. But they weren't to that arcade standard SNK strived for. Capcom flirted with the idea too.

[@remnantoftheeye5580]

@@retrovortex624 SNK having thrir own console wasn't a bad financial idea.

[@Ashamaxa]

that "lore" bit is so vague! i love it. I also like your review of weird Arcade games, and you'll probably never run out of those SNESDRUNK... id love to see someday one of those single screen / kill all enemies to proceed games, like Tumblepop, Snow Bros or Funky Jet. Good work mate!

[@Aztyph]

Another great detail about this game: Much like _Contra_ and _Gradius,_ this game has a second loop, which makes things even *harder.* If you think that the game was too easy for some reason, then beat it once, and then try it again. Good freaking luck.

[@j0nnyism]

Ghouls and ghosts too. I doubt anyone completed the arcade version of this game.

[@captain0080]

One of the weirdest arcade games next to Trio The Punch: Never Forget Me .

[@chaser5616]

"I have no idea what am I looking at most of the time"-this should sum up what I thought about this game

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Total length of video: 320 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 6 secs. 1.88% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."

[@RP_Williams]

Dude, you're like Drunk's Ed McMahon...i love it! Keep it up!

[@7thangelad586]

I’m ready for a countdown of SNES Drunk’s best similes and metaphors.

[@joshriley2555]

It's just amazing to me that you're still able to find new stuff to keep making videos about.

[@psirensongs]

That day/night cycle gimmick for that boss fight is brilliant

[@starlightrevenant]

I've seen Vinesauce Vinny play this one days ago on his Obscure Arcade Collection video and I know days later that SNESdrunk will do video on this game. This got a bootleg hack called Simpson Junior, though. (By the way the main characters, who are named Ani and Ototo Karasukun, are actually ravens, because karasu means raven.)

[@jessragan6714]

When I first played this game, I thought they were parrots. I mean, who ever heard of a green crow?

[@Sly88Frye]

Have you talked about Ninja Baseball Batman? Is there an emulator for that? Ever since I saw AVGN talk so positively about it I've been interested.

[@ggbetz]

Not as a solo video, I think I found it thru one of his vids with multiple games

[@Str0b0]

Thanks for these! I love the arcade reviews of games I've never heard of!

[@thecunninlynguist]

Dazemon looks cool....this was from '93? It sorta looks "modernly retro" like many of the indie titles we get in that style today...and this definitely feels like you'd be playing an acid trip.

[@Unaliq]

Another bizarre yet good looking game. Hope that the Arcade Archives adds this to Switch, Steam, Ps4 and Xbox. I love how excited you are in this video. xD

[@japanimationman4442]

Thank you , Japan, for this absurd monstrosity of a game. You have truly made my life far more entertaining, in more ways than I can even keep track of.

This is clearly one of cupheads big influences.

I'd say someone was "under the influence" when they made this.

[@JT-nd6qp]

This looks great! The bright colors and randomness of it all reminds me of Parodius/Harmful Park.

[@philstefanelli]

Again, thank you so much for doing what you do. It's great content and is presented very well. Keep up the good work.

[@ImYourDeity]

Another great review. Thanks SNESdrunk, you rock!

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

I have to say now I'm intrigued. This seems like the kind of game that would definitely be right up my alley, strange and obscure just the way I like it.

Romancing SaGa on the Super Famicom did something similar to the boss whose HP is linked to the time of day. The final boss in that game starts during the day with a solar eclipse in the background, but as you damage him more and more it slowly transitions to night until he's dead.

[@AviFagan]

As a Cubs fan I appreciate the Dusty Baker reference 🤣 That man was murder on pitchers.

[@solusluxanima7607]

I was running on the rings of a sleeping Saturn while throwing pumpkins at space pegasus. Not sure if JJ Squawkers or a dream i had.

[@gjtrue]

That flower boss reminds me if a similar boss from *Cuphead.* In fact, the whole game looks similar to it... 🤔

[@electromancer2645]

I thought so too. And the boss gauntlet at the end is very similar as well

[@svcross-do]

Your videos are great. I really want to hear your opinion on more recent games that try to recreate the old ones.

[@8thLife]

This game looks absolutely ridiculous, and I love it!

[@roudanskalamir9251]

Aw damn, I mentioned this one on your previous arcade video on Magical Cat Adventures and now here we are.

The Dusty Baker reference is just A+ material.

[@GamingPalOllieMK]

One of my favorite childhood arcade games We had this in the arcade in my neighborhood

[@AttunedFlux]

You've shown us a lot of weird, crazy-ass little-known games over the years, but this one just might be peak bat-shit! Laugh out-loud bonkers sprites and really beautifully drawn backgrounds. So unique, varied and colorful! New idea for a video- "top 10 weirdest/strangest games you probably havent heard of".

[@favioferreira8921]

[@rezo61]

[@retro_jojo3159]

Its 6:30 am and after watching this video I had to go down to my garage and boot up my arcade machine to see this for myself. Such a crazy game, I can't wait to get home from work so I can play more of it

[@matthewedwards8996]

Bro that Dusty Baker burn was classic LOL

That Dusty Baker comment was hilarious

[@nuttyrock6899]

1:12 that guy was *Humpin* the hell out of that tree🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NickEnlowe]

FYI, Dezaemon is pronounced like the word "design". This is on purpose of course, since Dezaemon is a game where you design your own SHMUP games. You can even write your own music! Dezaemon is an amazing import to have on the Sega Saturn.

[@johnbarton41]

That guy gives a whole new meaning to the word tree hugger. 😂

[@crunchsixfoe]

Excellent, inspired, and very fun game. To me, this was always a Ghouls 'n Ghosts reskin (changeable weapon drops, platforming is also similar) Also, the original PCB is *incredibly* rare and sells for $3000+ when it shows up once in a blue moon. Luckily, there are conversion PCBs and bootlegs which are a bit more reasonably priced.

[@mascot1063]

I have a buddy who streams this on occasion. It's ridiculously watching him do so.

[@raphaelfp]

Imagine how many times the developers listened to Primal Scream - Loaded while creating this

[@SleepingCocoon]

[@lazarus30001]

Bizzare. The imagination that went into this game could fill novels. It's nice to see games that break from tradition.

[@andreystratiev5118]

Loved this game as a kid. Used to play it in the arcades and could finish it with 1 or 2 credits.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Thanks! I'm gonna have a great rest of my day.

[@BabusGameRoom]

I'm getting some Katamari Damacy vibes from the soundtrack, especially the clip that plays at the end of the video ~5:10...maybe they sampled the same thing?

[@Davtwan]

It looks like they really took advantage of the more powerful arcade hardware to deliver an experience no one would forget. I mean look at those backgrounds for example. The home consoles would have probably struggled with all this chaos.

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

Now I really hope you get around to Biomechanical Toy some time. There aren't a lot of European arcade games and most people don't know about them anymore. The developer even made platformers for the arcade. Generally I just enjoy to see you cover those obscure and/or weird arcade games. There are some really cool ones.

[@d3v1lsummoner]

I've been meaning to recommend that game for a while. I was even thinking about it right before looking at this comment. I thought it was pretty competent the fist time I played it, but watching a youtube video of it showed a level of depth I wasn't aware of. It's not quite as visually quirky as some of these other aecade games though.

[@daikaizen1231]

Because of this game, I just played through to the final boss, but my hands got tired of pounding the fire button. It is brutally hard, but the boss rush at the end was my favorite part, You have to beat each boss on one credit at the end. I will have to try again later.
