Kabuki Quantum Fighter - Obscure Old Games

[@falselogic]

Woo! Thanks for covering this one is the games i got second hand with no manual or anything that we just played the hell out of as kids. Loved it. And yeah the soundtrack is mostly bangers.

[@swazehl9827]

When I first saw this in Gamepro I thought it resembled the 1st Batman game.

[@ArcherBodkin]

It plays simirarly and as hard as well.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

It's similar, for sure!

[@HertzBadguise]

This further proves the theory that all Braun Strowman marks are puppets.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

I remain unconvinced. All we know is that THIS puppet is.

[@st1ka]

aww heck yeah I love this game

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

It's a lot of fun!

[@jrvy74]

My brother bought it and we both beat it multiple times. I really loved it! I’m hoping it makes it to NES Online on the Switch soon.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

So much weird stuff has popped up there, I wouldn't be surprised to see this, if not for the license, which I think will stop that from happening, sadly.

[@jrvy74]

@@SameNameDifferentGame Very good point. While the Kirby games are on both NES AND SNES Online platforms, I wasn’t too familiar with this history of KQF until I watched this video. Unfortunately that could complicate things...but crazier things have happened, so I’ll still hold out a little bit of hope for the time being.

[@matthewlane518]

It was batman/ninja gadien with different skins and levels, wich of course makes it great!!!!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Feels a lot like that!

[@toguroMax]

Great video, as always. I think that there should have a video where Joe Pink starts taking about a wrestling game, but since it is an obscure one, Rogercome in with a Double Kick, expelling Joe Pink from the show and saying: "Sorry, this is MY turf".

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Ha, there is one minor problem with that: Roger doesn't have legs.

[@VahanNisanian]

Joe, remember the Nickelodeon game show "Nick Arcade"? It was played for a bit during the first Season of that show; it had two Seasons.

[@matthewlane518]

I remember being 43

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Oh, yeah, I loved that show as a kid!

[@Gatorade69]

I think the channel Wrestling with gaming has a nice vid about the show and it goes into quite some depth about the creation of the show.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

@@Gatorade69 Yeah, Yahel did a really great video on that!

[@theflyingninja1]

You always come through with the obscure gaming knowledge. I knew about this game of course, but I had no idea it was based on a film. Thank you for another awesome video.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Thanks for watching!

[@Aragorn7884]

Roger AND Joey Pink?! 🤩

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Only when you're lucky!

[@robertdanker6193]

I don't think the universe can handle it!!🤣👍

I remember seeing kabuki quantum fighter on nick arcade when I was a kid and now I want to play it. 😀👍🎮

You should!

[@st1ka]

Can we appreciate how Scott O'Connor is 25 but the picture in the intro makes him look 14? They didn't even bother to age him up.

[@st1ka]

@Painkiller Mike haha

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

What's funny is that they used a completely different image than the kid in the Japanese version!

[@InessaMaximova]

@@SameNameDifferentGame Yeah. They changed his name, age, probably "job" too.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

@@InessaMaximova Yeah, they changed everything about him.

[@SinisterSally]

never knew it was related to Zipang. The Japanese Wikipedia on Zipang says that you play as Bobby Yano, who is a descendant of Hell Gokurakumaru from Zipang. sound like the story in both game is similar.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Yeah, it really doesn't seem like it, from what I can gather.

[@MakopoweredGaming]

Thank you for this! I love this game, and have ever since I got it as a kid (so much so that the opening title I use for my channel may sound familiar...)! Also, you have a degree in theatre studies? That is really cool!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! And, yes, I do!

[@ReaverPrime]

Definitely the motivation behind Shantae.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Scott doesn't have the hips, tho.

[@Pahricida]

actually had the PAL version as a kid and while I loved the weird style of it I never got to beat it.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

I believe in you!

[@miketate3445]

How did I never notice that the blue guy is Joe? He has the same theme music, same voice, and is on the same channel! I just... always thought it was a different show on a different channel!

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not the same guy, we just live together. His accent is way thicker than mine.

[@dieinfire920]

Played it back in the day on a friend’s house. Some time later I rented and finished it. Had lot of fun with it!! The name immediately got my attention because from always I’ve been interested in Japanese culture. Kabuki plays last a few hours and is easy to feel asleep xd

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

When I was in Japan, I actually wanted to go see a Noh play, but my host mother said they were too boring. 😂

[@dieinfire920]

@@SameNameDifferentGame I actually found Noh play more entertaining than Kabuki xd When I attended Kabuki the first hour was ok, after that it was hard to keep awake, and I noted quite a few Japanese sleeping xd

[@robertdanker6193]

Alright is it just me or is Rodger a super talent that needs his own show???

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

He has two of his own shows!

[@TheAgingGamer]

Good video, dude. 🤘🏼

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Thank you!

[@thecunninlynguist]

Fun game

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

It is!

[@ArcherBodkin]

He's back

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Guess who's back. Back again. Roger's back. Tell a friend. (No, really, tell a friend, his videos always get fewer views than everything else.)

[@Eliburgo]

Loved this game bat shit crazy but fun was my third nes game

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

Yeah, totally bonkers, but super fun.

[@floodred2904]

Love this game a rom hacker took this game and made Batman vs predator out of it for nes highly recommended bought a copy and eBay.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

That feels weird, but kinda interesting?

[@floodred2904]

Its amazing one of the bosses is a xenomorf.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

@@floodred2904 I look for it. Is this a PacNSak Dave thing, by chance?

[@floodred2904]

@@SameNameDifferentGame can’t remember who I ordered it from it is an nes cart tho if I get the chance today I’ll fire it and give more info.

This game originally was not based on the Jipangu movie, but was it's tie-in in that kid from the game using the spirit of the main character of the movie. BTW, Jigoku Gokurakumaru is the name of that character, so it isn't very strange that you have no sense when just translating it. BTW x2: There was a proper Jipangu based game on the PC Engine platform without the futuristic setting...but it was juast a puzzle game. BTW x3: There was a a game 7 Blades, that was made in conjunction with the movie director and served as a sequel to Jipangu of sorts, so... You're right - Quantum Kabuki Fighter has no sequels, but Jigoku Gokurakumaru has at least one...but it's a prequel) facebook.com/136224016588454/posts/kabuki-quantum-fighter-has-a-rich-history-that-not-many-know-about-at-least-outs/840661272811388/ P.S. 3:37 - so....it's the precursor of the Assassin's Creed series, I guess XD

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

I didn't even really think about the Assassin's Creed thing, because I've played like one of those, but someone else pointed that out, and yeah, it kinda is.

Call me crazy but I'm beginning to suspect that Roger and Joe are the same person. They are never in the room at the same time just like Clark Kent and Superman. Quite suspicious indeed.
