Just bought it on sale, I already expected the story to be trash based on the second game but don’t tell me the gameplay takes a turn for the worse too :(

[@jacoud1576]

Can you show when he mentioned Gunvolt? I sadly missed it.

[@grantbarbarino4465]

@@popeprinny4705I’m even a fan of the second game’s story but 1.) the gameplay is very repetitive and limited to one character if you actually play well (Gunvolt is an easy-mode crutch, you only plays as Kirin otherwise) and 2.) the story takes a nosedive after anything established in the first two games to do whatever it wants (and what it wants is bad)

I read about how Penny's Big Breakaway was inspired by Jumping Flash and that led me down a rabbit (LIKE THE GUY FROM THE GAME) hole of seeing what this game is about. Glad that led me to your channel. Great stuff and I'll try to check out both the Jumping Flash series and Forza Polpo!

I'm so glad youtube recommended this channel. These are the passionate, uncensored deep dives into cult classic games that made me love the platform. I also appreciate you telling people to "just download the ROM". There are far too many gatekeeping boomers in retro gaming who insist on playing on real hardware with a $500 Sony trinitron CRT off ebay for "muh scanlines." I'm surprised you didn't show off garungorp's mouse injector hack. It makes the game feel perfectly like a modern fps game, down to removing the camera pointing down when you jump.

Man, I always get excited when you post something. Your writing and editing style is excellent. It's very chill and real. You just say what's on your mind and I love that. And I always enjoy the tangents and hearing just how passionate you are about your topics too. It's like listening to your bud talk about a niche topic they love and sure I've never heard of Jumping Flash before but dang I'm glad I know about it now! Good shit. Also the year has been a rough start for me too. But hopefully things will mellow out in the coming months. Thanks for checkin in. Hope your rocky start becomes smooth sailing my friend. Also I'm so happy to see your channel has grown! I remember back when you only had a couple thousand subs! Glad to see people are enjoying your videos and I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@DrJIMMI]

For the longest time, i was the only person i knew who had jumping flash and jumping flash 2. I used to mention it to friends and they thought i was making the game up. I now own the three NTSC-J versions and pocket muu muu just because i love the game so much.

[@superfirebro64]

i really love your editing and ranting style, great video!

[@Shiro5735]

It's been awhile since i played Jumping Flash 2 but i believe you can unlock different support operators. AKA The rear view charms dangling at the top center. Which also changes the voice acting. And I'm pretty sure you can unlock the voice from the 1st game.

[@drachenzahne9262]

You can indeed unlock more of the Support robots in JF2. When you get to the Extra Mode campaign "2 Faces of Baron Aloha", you get Ted. Beat that campaign and you get Tex, and get all the performance medals and you get Rachel. Sadly, you cannot unlock the first game's support character "Kumagoro" but JF2 starts you off with his successor, Bill.

[@SilverLPJ]

I actually discovered Jumping Flash through the PlayStation Classic of all things. Was really enamored with the ascetics and vibe. I think i played it the most of anything on that thing. Going to check out the second one now. Thanks for the great video as always!

[@maraganger]

kissing you on the mouth for that intro tangent, you truly get the vision B)

[@gibpo]

thank u chad warden production i also like jumping flash.

[@ValcomDrifty]

Tbh the beginning of the video reminds me when I was showing my friends the Rayman sings sexbomb video which ended up devolving into us finding out about this german guy named Max Raabe and how that wasn't the only cover he ended up doing. My friend ended up scouring the entire internet for both the albums and made a little mock one for download (and even then he still couldn't find a full version of one of the songs). they are actually really good tbh Id recommend listening to the whole album the covers are actually really good, heck some I prefer over the original song tbh EDIT: btw if I had to recommend one song in total to listen to, his Another day in paradise is SO GOOD like actually its like 10x better then the original song

[@stockicide]

Just listened to Another Day in Paradise. Thanks for the recommendation!

The video is weird, but finding a max raabe recommendation in the comments might even be weirder.

I've never subscribed to a channel faster than this one. You're editing and sense of pacing are top notch and the comedy is fantastic as well. I love how you just ramble on and get sidetracked by different topics but the aforementioned great pacing helps it all feel more coherent. I hope your channel really blows up one day because you deserve it.

[@bugwells]

i cant express enough how much i love this channel and all these neat little things i get to learn about - the concept of oyaji gals genuinely sounds like the greatest tag ever conceived. i can only hope that some suspiciously wealthy fan of your content will also fall in love with the concept and commission somebody to carry the torch left by chusonji 😭😭

[@PlatformPanic8369]

Jumping flash was unique, and I saw it from your community post that you made about it a few months ago and decided to play it on PlayStation 5. It was like 90s video gaming all capsulated in one thing and it was awesome, a really fun time to platinum.

[@ryanbailey6900]

very cool segway of cultural info from jumping flash to the uga uga soundtrack. I too appreciate when shows respect the intelligence of children. most "children's media" today is a hellhole of generic characters designed in 1 second using the circle tool on some computer drawing program, while giving them some ultra dumbed down mind-rotting dialogue to absorb. it seems more like they are trying to make kids dumb, or just dont care about them at all. subbed!

[@RoarOfTheAzureDragon]

I always love learning new obscure media from your videos, both related and unrelated to the video topic itself. I never owned a copy of Jumping Flash myself, but the after-school club I went to when I was little had a PS1 with a whole collection of games they got from some charity. My friends always found me weird to play the bizarre looking Japanese games like Parappa and Gitaroo Man, and ofc Jumping Flash. Somethin' about those old colorful 3D/2D platformers with the prerendered cutscenes and bizarre looking visuals were just so appealing to me, it's a delight to see people have the same feelings, especially expressing them through a video essay. I'ma go listen to Ugo Ugo Ruuga now, thank you Lute, hope IRL gets better soon for you

Really chill video Lute, thanks for the content as always. Never heard of this game before, might check it out, seems like a good time. ALSO, first time hearing your music, that credits song at the end is a bop! :)

[@MotherKojiro]

The first time I played this was during lunch breaks (technically dinner breaks, since I worked the late shift) on my PSP, because it was the first time I'd ever had half-hour breaks of any kind, and needed something to do, and it was great for that. Not sure why I've never played the second one, but I'll definitely be checking that out soon, and that music side channel even sooner. And you are absolutely right: kids aren't stupid! My lady used to work on one of those "Why, it's 1864, of course!" historical farms, and you couldn't slip ANYTHING past them; they're a lot sharper than most adults give them credit for.

[@bobby2turnt]

I was 9 years old when I first played Jumping Flash at launch. My dad rented it for me from Blockbuster and I fell asleep playing the first night. Like you talk about, the imagery was very cool to a kid and unique at the time. Thanks Dad.

[@hydra4370]

This would mean that I'm not the only person on earth who's gone searching for an elusive Japanese house soundtrack, found the album, tried searching for a defunct label, and eventually just had to buy the album from a warehouse 😭 except I was in search of a .flac rip of said song

[@eriklempelsndergaard8863]

That Japanese childrens melody was apart of my childhood too and I live in Denmark. It got multiple different lyrics added to it, the version I remember the most as an adult, is one you sing during Easter parties when you're about to drink a really nasty type of alcoholic called 'snaps' and it goes "haps haps haps, now we're having snaps" along to the melody. I'm wondering what country the melody originated from

banger of a video. also glad u brought up Intelligent Qube on that demo disc bc that was one of the first 3D games to scare me - that sound of the platforms crumbling as you fuck up the puzzles was sheer terror, and fall into an infinite black void in eerie silence was something my 1997 brain wasn't ready for

[@idkwhatimdoingproductions8824]

Lute im genuinely interested in the process of scripting these videos. It's unique and I've never seen anything like it

[@Lute01]

truthfully i don't put a lot of thought into it. i just kinda type up my thoughts in notepad casually, as if i was talking to a friend about them or whatever. obviously i do research and stuff when applicable and try to just explain information about the games i talk about and try to make a case for the viewer to try them out themselves. the goal is to get more people to play more cool games. i don't give the scripting process any more planning or thought than that because i find it hard to write with a plan or outline in mind, i just sort of wing it every time. if i have an idea for a joke or something i see if it works if i cram it into a certain part, or if i think of something funny after i've written a part i'll like, go back and add that in and shit. lmao. i don't really plan it out much at all. there's probably better ways to go about scripting a video but this is just the way i've found it works best for me, sorry if this is a disappointing answer. i try not to agonize over details, if it's funny or interesting to me in the moment i just go with it edit: same goes with the video titles / thumbnails, i usually come up with them last minute hahaha

[@notinorder9630]

this game looks so charming, love when creative people just put all the little random things that are barely related to the main subject into the end product. also, thanks for putting those albums on your second channel, looking forward to listening to them later :D really glad that it turned out to be exactly what you were looking for, like a reward for all you're crazy research. but, uh, your friend might have a crush on you if they're buying you 400$ niche albums from another country. maybe not, they might just really like your music and videos and want to help you indulge in whatever random thing you get fixated on next ii'm ace so my idea of romance is as accurate as my adhd sense of time :P
