I like that you saw what is essentially a dance version of the Japanese equivalent to "The ants come marching" and went "dude this is fucking awesome" and dived down a rabbit hole to find it and got some old CDs to find the full version

Hey you dropped this 🫴 💯

[@Ghostly5489]

I loved how you just get distracted and just talk about something different entirely. Just feels like you’re talking to a random friend about random thoughts. It also expresses the idea that you’re just having fun and love making these videos, it’s super nice.

I love how your videos will just temporarily sidetrack to talk about some rabbit hole or weird thing you found/thought of. Ugo Ugo Ruuga looks really interesting and i'm going to show my friend it later.

you know the video is gonna be dope when the first 10 minutes consist of a tangent on something niche and fascinating you didn’t know about

That's gotta be the first chadwarden reference I've seen in ten years.

I wish I liked it more lol. First game is nice though

[@popeprinny4705]

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)

[@javeliin]

Love to see Jumping Flash getting more attention. Btw the voice is not actually Robbit, but an AI helper that’s bobbing at the top of the HUD. You can even change the AI in JF2.

[@IPODsify]

I thought I've seen it all, but the Ugo Ugo Ruga tangent is the tangent to end all tangents

[@IDrinkLava]

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.

[@Yanncki64]

Your videos feel like an invitation into your little chill zone. Some of my fav youtube content lately

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!

[@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!

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

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

[@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.

[@lim6798]

The weird Tangent style of this video is so fresh from the abundance of pretentious video essays on KZbin right now. Feels real personal and natural while also showing how passionate you were about the topic.

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@hergzcool]

i learned of ugo ugo ruuga because it was one of the first Japanese works that Rodney Greenblat worked on, there was a segment in the show called “Rodney guy” where some guy named Rodney would create weird creatures that forced to suffer with some weird machine that makes thing he draws, then someone at somy would see these segments and then he would work on parappa and other stuff i guess idk why are reading this im tired

[@luigifan1295]

This was a perfect 1 am watch, thank you Lute!

[@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

[@JanneSala]

I just randomly found your channel and I think I'm going insane. This video is like a mix or Running Shine with a bunch of ytp/vgm/ripping culture shit in here, like what is happening. How is this so good. Instasubbed.

[@Haihatu]

i found the first quarter of the video to be the most interesting, i love shows and generally, people that don’t treat young kids like idiots. and seeing footage of the show just makes me mesmerized in a way. i’d love to watch it!

[@terrortaste6389]

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.

[@tethys8113]

If anything, I think it'd make more sense to compare this game to mech sims of the era, like Earthsiege et al, with how its movement and shooting works. Only with a cutesy eclectic visual style and rabbit robots. 10/10

[@voidofecto]

Just as I was looking into Jumping Flash too. Your timing is impeccable

[@rojoajax4441]

Always such a good time watching these.

[@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.

[@HAV0X_]

ugo ugo ruga seems like a more put-together version of the little in-bewteen sections of TV's TV. apparently the people who worked on those little TV animations went on to work on ugo ugo ruga! the inspiration is really obvious if you've seen TV's TV before.

[@civicguy2k]

I remember playing a demo for Jumping Flash on a disc I got out of a magazine. I loved it so much I ended up renting it and the sequel and beating them all the way through.

[@tengu5949]

Something cool about Ugo Ugo Ruuga: Rodney Greenblat,the PaRappa the Rapper guy, had a cartoon segment on it called Rodney Guy with short like half a minute long episodes but a sort of continuous storyline. It ends with not one, but TWO gay weddings (and a straight one). It's all uploaded on youtube with english narration on top of the japanese one, which is kinda bizarre. (I think it might be Rodney Greenblat himself doing the english narration? I'm not sure.)

[@obbm]

I love jumping flash. Played through both of them while sick and it cured me

[@PearlTheCrystalGem]

[@zac9399]

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

[@autumnwitchmaple]

Jumping flash was one of my favorite games as a kid, even though I was shit at it and never figured out what I was supposed to do. It was always just so sick. Really fueled my love for like, heads up display design, especially as framing for a mech pilot's display in-universe. Gorgeous stuff. Also, this vid rules. Came for jumping flash, happy to get the rest.

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.
