Kirby's Adventure Was Supposed to be on Super Nintendo

[@alkristopher]

I picked up Lords of Thunder on the Wii U while the eshop was still open. Absolutely no regrets, the soundtrack is pure metal perfection.

[@Chaos89P]

Gonna have to try it out next time I boot up my TurboGrafx Mini. That thing has a surprising amount of, shall I say, hidden gems?

[@ricky7111]

Aw man wish i knew about it.

[@FallicIdol]

That soundtrack is banging

[@BENbG8]

And now imagining..how was cool that's in 90s😱

[@sovietdominion]

Also has sega CD version IIRC

[@danieldowney7621]

My grandparents gave me Kirby's Adventure for Christmas when I was 6 years old. It was the first game I ever received as a gift and I've been a Kirby fan ever since. It was easy enough for me to get almost all the way to the end by myself, even at that age, and my older brother, who kindly let me play with all his games, would always help me out to fight the last couple of bosses the first few times I reached them.

[@oziumshift]

Kirby’s Adventure is an important game for me. Beating a game seemed like something mythical- like maybe I could do it when I was grown up or something. Beating Kirby as a kid blew my mind.

[@Chicomite]

These are my sentiments exactly, I felt dumb for not being able to complete a game as a kid. But I was just too young. I wasn't even an RPG fan, mostly platformers for me, but Super Mario RPG was the first one I had to beat, I got obsessed with that game. It was so unique from other RPGs I had played, I still recommend it as anyone's first RPG, regardless of age.

[@senseicorey9979]

Holds up over time too. Kirby was the man! Or at least the little pink puff thing ...

[@KairuHakubi]

Yeah I appreciated how beatable it was. the ability to SAVE YOUR GAME and make progress really blew me away. the final boss was really hard yeah, but if you couldn't do it, you didn't have to start everything over.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@senseicorey9979 all the Sakurai kirby games are great. The others... have their charm.

[@TheHammersmashdave]

exact

[@-ZodiacPrince-]

I love Dylan, he gets the struggle. May he never step on a lego.

[@KTEFilmsInc]

Oh god, are we getting BOTH Action 52 and Bubsy next week?!? I am excited and terrified.

[@jasonblalock4429]

I hope Dylan at least finds a hidden gem or two, to make up for the crap in the main segment.

[@justinblackwood5816]

I found on the tube a cartoon of bubsy... yeah I don't miss it

[@karnovrpg]

The greatest week in gaming.

[@kingslayer2999]

Bubsy is a Legend among the world of Gaming for all the wrong reasons 😂😂😂

[@GalaxyWisp]

Would you believe my bro ACTUALLY wants us to re-buy the first Bubsy in THIS day and age!?!?! Needless to say, I do not approve. The first two pieces of music are actually really catchy while the stage design is GARBAGE from start to finish of the game, and if that's not bad enough once you reach the first boss (which will definitely be the moment you question WHY you actually paid cash for this mess) even the soundtrack falls apart from then on and nothing EVER got better in the series (except maybe "The Woolies Strike Back" a few years ago, but considering the price and the fact that it was the best installment in a frankly DREADFUL series that's obviously not saying much)...never again...

[@thevillain7618]

Lords of Thunder does indeed rock. I played the PC Engine version back in the day and loved it

[@Groovebot3k]

The first place I actually played Kirby's Adventure was actually at my Grandma's house: They had an NES for when the grandkids came over (at least to my knowledge that was why... maybe they were more into gaming than I thought) and they had it, 1943, and Cobra Triangle of all things...

[@Mystik3eb]

Kirby's Adventure was a major player in my childhood. I played the crap out of it, and I didn't find it to be terribly easy, especially not when trying to "complete" it and find every secret and hidden path. Gotta make those doors stop flashing!

[@paradogz1]

Best show ever, pure nostalgia i never miss a episode greets from germany

[@ethanlaborde]

I started playing Kirby's Adventure for the first time recently, and I'm amazed at how well it holds up, both in terms of gameplay and presentation.

[@jasonblalock4429]

For what it's worth, if someone is interested in playing First Samurai or its sequel, it recently got rereleased as the "Samurai Collection" from Qubyte on I think all of the current consoles. I have it on Switch, anyway. It's only so-so, but I do have a nostalgic fondness for old Amiga games.

[@justavivi3386]

I had Second Samurai for a short time and it was weird: You start in prehistoric age and fight monkeys and cavemen, first three levels set in prehistoric time and later game jumps into future where you fight terminator expies (blue metal skeletons with laser rifles) and other weird enemies. You can clearly see that game is originated from european computers of that time.

[@ThomatoSauce]

Jared: Calls out the commercial for saying “King Deedee” instead of “King Dedede.” Also Jared: Says “Nightmare in Dream World” instead of “Nightmare in Dream Land.” 10/10 Logic

[@opaljk4835]

It’s so crazy when people make mistakes, like just stop being a human, ya know?

[@kokotheclown2588]

I gotta admit Batman Returns on Sega CD was visually impressive(the driving levels only) holy seeing Batman in the Batmobile 6:07 6:08 looks badass

[@Nier235]

i played the hell out of Blue Brothers on the SNES growing up, it was one of those games i played a lot along with Bonk and other games

[@MasterArchfiend]

I have never had an outro fill me with so much dread ever. Also, the Lord of Thunder ost…that is something that I need so bad.

[@CyaLator]

i experienced 2 ptsd's in a span of a second.

[@monster25man]

Kirby's Adventure was the first game I ever beat I'll never forget playing it on my NES in my basement on the old CRT TV when I first heard the credits theme of the game...I felt like I really accomplished something for once~ Kirby is the reason I am the gamer I am today and it's my favorite franchise because of it

[@ReikuYin]

Ok.. the Mai running gag got me this time. Dylan never stop being awesome.

[@Dungeon00X]

I feel bad for Dylan because I didn't miss out on the Turbo Grafx-16 mini. But yeah, use Retro Arc or my favorite: Fightcade.

[@Kevinsyel]

fuck... the "Second Batman" joke got me more than I'd care to admit.

[@Manonthe3up]

Oh, that stinger has me very eager for the next one, great episode as always.

[@garou119]

Final Fight for the Sega CD is one of the best versions of the game! Wish that got re-released. Sooo, an awesome bad game-filled Friday next week? Can't wait!

[@jakobe856]

It actually did got re-released on the sega genesis mini 2

[@a-bombmori7393]

I love listening to the teasers at the end of each episode and trying to guess what games they're referring to.

[@pharmcat8484]

Same friend, same.

[@evillecaston]

Next week is gonna be painful...

[@Schwarzorn]

*Deedeedee* is also wrong. The correct pronunciation is *Dédédé* like its said in-game in...Kirby's Avalanche, I think it was. It's also said that way in the cartoon and Smash Brothers games...in Japan. But 4Kids messed it up-like they do with everything-when they made the English dub of the cartoon. And then Nintendo of America had the Smash Brothers announcer do an alternate take of _"King Dedede"_ using the mispronunciation...probably for "consistency"...even tho there was an equal representation of both pronunciations at that point, and it makes more sense to stick with their own games rather than a piece of side media handled by an outside company.

[@erascarecrow2541]

Haven't seen Jared in a while. Glad to see he's still making videos.

[@korrthemighty1]

Love this show format Jared. So much nostalgia. Long time fan

[@alex_-yz9to]

a snes port of kirby's adventure sounds really baffling especially because the time line simply doesn't line up... remember sakurai and his group did say that they didn't get snes dev kits UNTILL LONG AFTER adventure wrapped up!

[@alessandrobozzi7085]

So next week we're getting Bubsy and Action 52. Boy, what a week it must have been back then!

[@joeyparkhill8751]

Bubsy's in next week episode? my sympathies, Jared, David & Dylan

[@Garrth415]

Seeing such a big version difference with Batman is absolutely wild

[@CSLucasEpic]

This is NOT the first time I hard of Cacoma Knight. In fact, I love that game and I have it on my old SNES libary still.

[@TyphinHoofbun]

This is the first time I've heard of this game, but I played Qix a ton back in the day.

[@buchiklop110]

Action 52 AND Bubsy next week? Oh... how wonderful...

[@MrTubeStuck]

Thanks guys for making my lunch breaks every Friday more filling.

[@giacatnguyen9635]

For whatever reason, I never played Kirby's Adventure, though I recall really enjoying the original on Gameboy. I do vaguely remember playing Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, though I think I played the NES version. That's the only one of this week's games I tried.

[@louiseugeniojr.3530]

I didn't play Kirby's Adventure until it was included on the NES Nintendo Switch Online app.

[@theresamonjaras1271]

A new episode of my favorite series on my birthday makes for a great day!

[@prairiete]

Haha, the Shiranui Mai inserts! Jared's last line before the credits makes me impatient to see what kind of suffering awaits us next week

[@Sergito800]

Lord of Thunder looks awesome indeed! I really need to check more PC-Engine games! But yeah...emulation time!

[@DigitalMorph07]

Love those old video game magazine reviews 😂

[@patu8010]

Kudos to editor Dylan for actually playing all these weird obscure games

[@ControllerTape]

God damn whoever wrote the Rapid-Fire Releases tune should get an award, that song is a bop

[@DMBLaan]

Oh no, not only is next week Acton 52, but also Bubsy?! In all honesty, I find the story behind the development and marketing of Bubsy more fascinating than the actual game.

[@kkyoshi64]

I played Nightmare in Dreamland back when it first released. Mostly due to the Kirby anime, which I still love to this day. That and Kirby 64 were the only Kirby games I've ever played at that point. When I got the Wii, I was reading through this pamphlet that came with the system and it was telling me about the virtual console. One of the pictures it used was a screenshot of Kirby's Adventure. I had played Nightmare in Dreamland so much, that I instantly recognized that particular level within the screenshot, but I wondered why it was all in 8-bit. And that's how I learned that I played the remake, before the original. Adventure was a bit harder than Nightmare though, but it was still fun.

[@matthewruley8360]

Wow, I got all three preview references, wondering which Battletech game it will be (there were two on SNES and one on Genesis)

[@bes03c]

I got my copy of Kirby from a used gamed shop in the mall. It was also the girls place I played Mario 64. They had an imported Japanese n64 they let customers try out well before it came out in the US.

[@yoweath157]

I wish I could give two thumbs up, one for Jared and one for Editor Dylan. Every time he comes on Iam like thumbs up, ohhh already did that

[@renatocorvaro6924]

Batman Returns Returns

[@Sergito800]

DUDE! The First Samurai! This is one of the games i played as a child that the name completely dissapeared from my head! I was able to remenber the game in parts and i thought it was like something that i dreamed about at a point hehe so it is real! And it looks as weird as a remenber hehe

[@GitsuneG]

Happy 30th Birthday to the best character, *singing tone* META KNNIIGGHT!!

[@TeknoBoy]

Sounds like next week's episode is going to be a VERY interesting one

[@gurvmlk]

Also perhaps the most miserable one yet. At least for those having to play the games to review them.

[@darkdrake0389]

But what could Paws-ibly go wrong

[@st1ka]

Very odd that first Samurai got more video time than final fight OR Lords of Thunder, two of the best games of their generation

[@Protoman85]

Ha, I didn't get that until now, Cacoma Knight /kakomanaito / 囲まないと... until now! Thanks Dylan-sensei

[@AtlasBlizzard]

As a European, hearing Jared call it the Sega Mega Drive makes me happy. Also, can I be real? Look at how sick Mega Drive boxes look. I was shocked when I discovered that American boxes are red and with a more generic font.

[@StigmaX]

Tom Cruise knows where Shelly Miscavige is.

[@Kevinsyel]

It's a Miscavige of justice!

[@DarkCalx]

Cacoma Knight IS, in fact, a game I had not heard about before this episode, but it seems very similar to Qix, an old arcade game with the same premise. There are also a LOT of adult rated Qix styled games that came out in Japan (don't ask how I know this)

[@timjennings4342]

Action 52 AND Bubsy? Oh next week is the dark times.

[@Sweetrad]

Honestly i couldnt focus on The First Samurai cuz all i could focus on was the DDLC music in the background

[@geoffgero6081]

Kirby's Adventure is one of my all time favorite games. Playing it back then made me appreciate my Genesis less

[@alanbalan3539]

The THIRST Samurai. Travel through time to defeat the evil dehydration wizard and save the worlds supply of "insert blatantly sponsored beverage here".

[@gurvmlk]

I can imagine in an alternate reality where The First Samurai rose to the stardom of games like Mario and Sonic, there exists a parody sketch on a show like Saturday Night Live, or Robot Chicken called The Thirst Samurai which roughly follows that synopsis.

[@willmistretta]

Oh, you should absolutely watch the first Blues Brothers...and avoid literally everything else with the name attached.

[@gurvmlk]

Fret not, Dylan. For they released Lords of Thunder on the Wii's Virtual Console. Oh, right.

[@CronosVids]

That Lords of Thunder bit was amazing! So often the case when you stumble upon “hidden” gems.

[@gatsby201041]

This show takes me back to the days of being excited to go to blockbuster on the weekends to see if the game I wanted was finally returned! Keep it up!

[@yuranashi]

The first Samurai was one of my games back in the day and it was crazy hard to beat, never did it tho. Also, claps to Dilan for spiting hot truths, if you think game is expensive in Us, you havent seen anything, here in Brasil we rarely buy an old game, even less a new one.

[@SonnyO]

For like 10 years, I always referred to King Dedede as Dede It had to be this commercial that made me do this.

[@Agus-wp2cc]

Action 52 and Bubsy on the same episode? oh boy

[@denverarnold6210]

Jared: "The First Samurai did get a sequel." Me: "What, Second Samurai?" Jared: "Second Samurai." Me: "I was kidding!"

[@mrben6573]

Kirby's Dream Land GB is not a simple easy game. If you've only beaten regular mode you haven't beaten the game. Hard Mode is the real game. Beat hard mode and you get to see a really nice credits sequence that names every enemy in the game. And hard mode is way, way, way, way, way harder than regular mode.

[@MysticMike]

@1:56 while i love Kirbys adventure and was very impressive event the rotating building effect I do have to give a shout out to Battletoads 1 on nes as it al so had the rotating effect and was a 1991 game.

[@fancypretzel2610]

You need to watch Blues Brothers. You won't be disappointed.

[@UberMan5000]

I remember Kirby's Adventure with much fondness. I got it from my grandmother for Christmas, 1994. I still play it when I need 90 minutes of pure joy. Also, it was the first time I'd ever seen a plot twist. If you know, you know.

[@newttrain8667]

Oooooooh no I didn't realize this show would eventually get to Bubsy

[@A.S.Bridges]

Such an awesome surprise - a new episode on my birthday! Love this show and as always the May 5th episode was did not disappoint! Thanks for the laughs to brighten up my 38th birthday, you guys rock!

[@WilliamTheWatchful]

565 days until Dokey Kong Country... I remember being introduced Pod Racer 64, Men in Black and the full Kirby's Adventure playthrough in one single day. That day was a good day.

[@metanightmare4454]

Damn, I must've watched too much AVGN, because I actually remember what Action 52 is. For anyone wondering, it's specifically the Genesis version they're gonna be covering.

[@clydethehobo2687]

You're covering Action 52 AND Bubsy next week?! Oh man, best of luck with that crap.

[@LanEXHikari]

Kerbo was the first game I 100%, it was such a joy to find all its secrets. Thanks for the trip through memory lane ✌🏼

[@rory_o]

We are your friends Editor Dylan ❤

[@Cratmang]

"What could possibly go wrong?" It's not next week yet, but I can already feel the pain.

[@BoomTribeEntertainment]

I always love watching these. It’s like a cozy hangout away from the trouble of the world, reminiscent on easier times

[@greenclonk1334]

That "What could possibly go wrong" is giving me flashbacks

[@morewi]

Dylan you need to watch the blues brothers. One of the best movies ever

[@Ty-douken]

Ohhh yeah, time for my Now In The 90's fix... I've got a problem & the only solution is the games from 30 years ago!

[@mattjindrak]

I still remember my mom buying me Kirby's Adventure at Kay Bee Toys. And it was especially memorable because I asked if she'd get it and she did without any convincing on my part. Truly magical lol

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

I first got Kirby's Adventure on 3DS and it's one of my favorites. The simplicity and short length somehow makes it more fun.

[@SolusEmsu]

I will always love Kirby's Adventure. It was one of the games my grandma had for the NES in her side room that I grew up playing. She really was the best.

[@daakrolb]

That Batman Sega CD was AWESOME back in the day for the driving level & the CD music alone. I played the HECK out of it.

[@mystbunnygaming1449]

Kirby's Adventure was a huge part of my childhood and the first game I've seen that you could go back and 100% for extra stuff. I see the footage is from hard mode which is unlocked after getting 100%

[@LordPichuPal]

My brother got Kirby's Adventure at some point when I was young, so I played his copy a lot after I first played Dream Land on my Game Boy. At some point he also bought me a full boxed copy of the game for me to keep so I wouldn't have to use his once he moved out. I feel kind of lucky to still have that, because I don't have too many boxed copies of my old games from the SNES era, except my Genesis games. Almost all of those still are in their original cases.

[@tommy516]

My favorite channel. Getting final fight CD was a highlight of the summer of 93!!

[@hugoleonardoamaral586]

First Samurai was one of the very first games I've played in my life. I only discovered the name recently. For years I've thought it was just my memory playing tricks on me LOL. That Hallelujah sound brings me so many memories

[@LITTLE1994]

I'm not surprised it should've been on SNES, considering that game was 1993. NES by then was phased out.

[@mjdf122]

Now In The 90s Kirby’s Adventure Amazing NES Game I’ve Been Blessed To See All Of The 1980s To Now Thank You Jared And Dylan For Your Work

[@sabinkenobi]

Aww.. poor Dylan, I'll be your friend

[@KanadianKozak]

I have no idea where my parents found The Blues Brothers game, but we somehow had it. That game was hard and long, and yet we continued to play it thinking one day we would beat it. Rock, rock, rock, rock and roll!

[@The16bithero]

I still remember the first time I played Kirby's Adventure, I couldn't believe that the game was even possible on the NES, yet they did it. One of my all time favorites I also played The First Samurai as a kid. It was funny that the backstory said that he was been trained to become the first samurai. So what was his master then? A very humble samurai that didn't want the fame?

[@theinvertedone1667]

Kirbys adventure was the first game i have ever beaten in one sitting. It was when i was five (about 13 years ago), and i think it took me about 5-6 hours. I also think its kinda neat that i also beat it playing it on the o.g. NES itself on an old box tv. Ahh, the good ol days.

[@Soul_underground]

So glad i found this channel, its the retro nostalgia vibe i needed

[@23Scadu]

13:17 Dylan spitting facts

[@GalaxyWisp]

Fun fact: the turtle mid-boss in "Kirby's Adventure" became so infamous that in the "Nightmare in Dream Land" remake for GBA they actually created Phan-Phan to replace the turtle who never appeared in another Kirby game again. Also the remake made all the mid-boss and boss sprites MUCH bigger which actually improved their difficulty since their attacks are now a lot harder to avoid. Also in case it wasn't obvious, Nintendo decided to use the release of "Nightmare in Dream Land" as a means to promote the show "Kirby: Right Back At Ya!" on the Fox Box at the time (man, that takes me back). This was even clear in the game's official artwork which practically matched the show's animation style (probably why the show re-purposed the Nightmare Wizard as eNeMeE for the primary antagonist...and yes that's how his name is officially spelled in the show).
