[@MattMcMuscles]

What about Capcom's other 2009 misstep, Bionic Commando? Well that video's here! -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5esmZ6YqLZle7s

[@MylesMusic94]

Man, Brother in Arm furious four, that would be nice to know what became of that game

[@BADeByrd]

While not a Capcom game, this whole game kind of reminds me of an old PS2 game called "Spy Fiction" that had a troubled directionless production and resulted in a game that tried to be Metal Gear Solid at first and then turns into something else.

[@Justine-justin]

What happened to Dragonblade wii?

[@DawnOfFate]

ya know a video about wha happun for dragons dogma would be interesting

[@luckyblah9166]

I CANNOT believe he said Ghost Trick was a bad Game!

[@CalvinChikelue]

The playable commercials as minigames is actually a pretty stellar idea

[@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269]

Seriously, That could have been a Great Yoko Taro-esque meta Joke Gameplay wise!

[@chidaluokoro9104]

Yep

[@CelticGuardian7]

I am legitimately sad that did not come to pass, it sounds both enjoyable and amusing!

[@itslvc5588]

Android ads be like:

[@Exarian]

honestly I wish capcom had the guts to ignore the fan backlash. Sometimes fans just can't see the full picture until they have it. Imagine if Wind Waker changed it's art style in response to the backlash from western fans. That's not to say "never listen to fans" but, you know, sometimes they're wrong.

[@Otakukunoichi]

That Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic with the playable commercials sounded really fun and at the very least it would have been a lot more memorable than the final product ended up being. Such a shame that it got scrapped because people were like "This does not appeal to me personally so it must suck"

[@granmastersword]

And especially "this doesn't feel like a game from Capcom, so it must be a dog shit mistake"

[@fanfaretloudest]

But sadly I bet if it released as originally planned initial fans would have probably not want to try it as it contained no Capcom characters or stuff ppl were used to. It probably would have gone down as an underrated gem but almost forgotten.

[@trtx84]

Yeah, that's the real tragedy here. Capcom blew up the whole thing over a bunch of whiny online fans who didn't care once it launched anyway.

[@migueeeelet]

@@granmastersword AKA "This isn't Devil May Cry, what the fuck capcom"

[@ratchetxtreme6591]

Hearing about how Spyborg’s tone got drastically changed from what it originally was definitely remind me of what happened with Insomniac’s Fuse, which definitely deserves a Wha happun episode on it’s own.

[@BullseyeRey]

Man, i remember watching the original overstrike trailer and thinking it looked cool. But then we it became fuse.

[@claytonrios1]

Fuse really felt like a game made by a focus group more so than a person with a unique vision.

[@theogravity866]

God I want a Fuse episode so badly, I was actually hyped for the game :(

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

It’s honestly nuts how Overstrike was so ahead of its time, and it’s transformation into Fuse to cash in on modern trends made it age incredibly fast instead.

[@str8apem88]

I still don't know whether to blame EA or Insomniac for turning Overstrike into that abomination.

[@UAshton5090]

Capcom is such a critical company to the game industry. It has shining examples of both what to do and what NOT to do when making video games. I feel like anyone looking to get into game design or starting their own game studio should study up on their Capcom 101.

[@QuietM4n]

I mean the Capcom fans didn’t like a game that was on a console most of them didn’t take it seriously anyway. So tbh I don’t understand the need to throw out the unique original ideas for things that were generically popular just to appease a demographic that wasn't the target. They took an IP that could’ve been a cult hit and made it less known than ninja breadman, good job Capcom.

[@Hatsworthful]

Makes you wonder why capcom didn't see the upside of covering more bases on the western audience they wanted so bad

[@snakeeyes941]

jesus, you literally just described the twitter mob perfectly. People who have no intention of purchasing your product but want it changed for them anyway.

[@kickass1805]

Thanks for making a video about Spyborgs for new generations of gamers and keep the Spyborgs community growing. Shout out to my borgies

[@rotciv557]

Spyborg's original Saturday Morning Cartoon themes and aesthetics sounds so incredibly interesting and engaging then what they changed to, it's honestly a shame. If they had stuck to the original vision, I doubt it would have been an instant hit but I would instead see it become something more akin to a cult classic like Psychonauts that would have racked up fame and goodwill over time.

[@eatatjoes6751]

And Psychonauts got a second game.

[@Dumbstuffwatcher]

I was about to comment on Psychonauts before seeing yours! Soon as he said "Saturday morning cartoon" I was reminded of a thought I'd had a while back. Like, if Psychonauts was a TV show instead of a game, it may have become even MORE popular than it is. Definitely would've reached a wider audience. It's hilarious, had an episodic structure, and had a great voice cast

[@iwakeupandboomimarat]

@@Dumbstuffwatcher true! if we dont get a psychonauts 3 id love to see it get continuations, either as an animated show or maybe a webcomic

[@gunsniper0018]

another comparison would be wind waker (kinda). At release it got bashed for the cartoony artistic direction and slow pace leading to a slow sales start (although it did reach a decent level of sales). However it's had a reevaluation that's been happening with a lot of games from that era and has become somewhat of a success story (the somewhat being nintendo continuing to shoot themselves in the foot and not releasing the HD edition on a MORE POPULAR CONSOLE!).

[@angelthingjenny]

Oh man, who would've guessed that overreacting to backlash from people that aren't necessarily your target audience and crushing all the interesting or unique ideas out of a game with like a year to launch would result in a rushed, bland game? Honestly I think the biggest mistake they made was presenting it at Captivate first, and making it stand toe to toe with the legacy franchises. If it had just, say, been a quiet extra on Nintendo's show floor that year, the idea of it "not being capcom enough" might have been alleviated more.

[@HAZRE.]

They should've stuck with the original theme. It sounded like it had real character and was unique, especially in comparison to its finished product. This is why you can't pander too much to players' or their opinions, because often the loudest are the short-sighted minority. I don't see what's so bad with having a game for a younger crowd, because that crowd will become the adults that grew up with Spiro or Rachet and Clank, etc. and will be loyal to a great game for years to come. Seems like Capcom shot themselves in the foot with this one. A little less micromanaging and a little more faith and they might have had a fleshed-out franchise with a dedicated fanbase.

[@Setsuzoku]

FUCK YEAH SPYBORGS One of these days I'm gonna become a Big Boss and get you to make that High Voltage Software video I've always wanted.

[@FredyGarbagis]

High Voltage threads were so much fun back in the day. This topic is really interesting to me. Also, the vaporware known as "Sadness" and other similar shit "announced" for the Wii.

[@granmastersword]

Damn, a shame that such a fun, interesting pitch was thrown to a 10 story window because fans of the time wanted it to be a game that was made by Capcom

[@Narokkurai]

"Hey we wanna make an action platformer for kids! We have a clear idea of the budget and technology required, and a ton of experienced staff to help make it a reality!" "Great! We love it! But our fans--who probably aren't your target audience anyway--want it to be darker and more combat focused. Let's dump all that lighthearted character nonsense." "Um... okay, we'll just throw away all that work and focus solely on the brawling. Does this work?" "Great! But now it looks like a boring budget title, and frankly, we aren't interested anymore. We're cutting way back on our investment and we expect you to deliver whatever build you've got ASAP. Looking forward to working with you again!"

[@AJthePup]

I'm sort of blaming the fans on this one. Their demands sunk what could have been a wonderfully goody time.

[@arkjag2991]

That commercial mini-game idea is really clever.

[@BullseyeRey]

The Team Alpha Go concept art looked great, it's too bad the actual game couldn't have been more like that.

[@alexn8672]

Looking at all of these weird flops from this era of Capcom, it's a miracle that Dead Rising and Lost Planet managed to both have comparatively much more successful trilogies.

[@emilysong2000]

I've been catching up with the What Happened series for a little while now (I've seen around 80 or so episodes so far, and I'm hoping to be fully caught up by late March/early April), and-real talk-it's become my new favorite series on KZbin! I love absolutely everything about it...the information, the humor, the entertainment value, the editing, the skeletal avatar...all of it! I just cannot help but find myself coming back to see all the episodes I've missed over the past four years, as well as all of the new ones as they go live. They are as entertaining as they are informative, and it clearly shows that you and your team put a ton of effort into these videos (with great success, I might add). Needless to say, I look forward to continuing to catch up with all the What Happened episodes I have yet to see, rewatch the whole series likely later this year, and check out each new episode as they come our way. You have most certainly earned my subscription and my patronage, Matt...keep up the fantastic work!

[@RoastedPheasant]

So to summarize, Capcom: 1. Stripped out the main thing that made the game unique, forcing a bland samey world (which was then torn apart by critics because it wasn't unique). 2. Attempted to extort free labor from the studio by withholding their funding. 3. Barely advertised the game. 4. Went behind the back of devs (who were still on schedule), to ship a beta version of the game and completely kneecap the project. I'd agree that the failures of games around this time contribute to Capcom's current incredibly safe business style, but this was 100% on them. They took a promising young studio and fought them at every step of the way. Capcom killed Bionic Games and they killed them hard.

[@Brentastrophe]

I think we can all agree the late 2000s were pretty wild in quality.

[@afd19850]

This is where publishers really screw over devs. Imagine spending hours and hours and putting your blood sweat and tears into a game only to have another studio ship it behind your back and then you go bust!

[@THATGuy5654]

No wonder so many of the most culturally relevant games that have come out over the last decade or so have been indie projects.

[@imjust_a]

I'm sure it happens way more than most of us even realize. Had a college professor who still (sort of) works in the industry who had a similar story with a different company.

[@TheLandofObscusion]

Capcom USA did do some online promotion for Syborgs beyond the mini-series, and it was really weird. They tried to hype it up as a sort of modern-day return to the old-school beat-em-ups of yore by talking about all the stuff that Spyborgs carried over... Like an elevator level. Yes, Capcom USA literally used "Every great brawler has an elevator level!" as a way to help promote Spyborgs.

[@Rangaisia]

To be fair, a lot of classic brawlers did have elevator sections, all classic Final Fights had one, as did all the classic Street of Rage games (SoR2 had like 3 elevator sections). Though not all great brawlers necessarily had one, Capcom's own Warriors of Fate for instance.

[@DancyHercules3]

Can't believe Hatred is still not on the channel/this series

[@iriskrane2433]

That therapy line is gold. Gaming marketing people are under appreciated, who else is dumb enough to come up with that

[@warehousedave7937]

This game is really hard to find here in North America.

[@mikeydavidson9795]

Yeah I've never seen it or heard of it before and I have a lot of Wii games in my collection, and it's Capcom too!

[@W0lfenstrike]

The original vision more in line with Ratchet & Clank and commercial mini-games would've been something I'd definitely been interested at that time, it's a shame it never shaped up like the devs originally intended.

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

I’m a huge Capcom fan, Ducktales NES is what introduced me to them, so it’s funny how this game completely flew under my radar until now

[@sugarfrosted2005]

Honestly surprised that they didn't sue Capcom over that stunt of secret fixing studio. Guess they didn't have money for litigation.

[@lazybacon7520]

That quote at the end was the most 90s gaming advertising quote ever, but was from 2009

[@iisanulquiorrahara8]

It's okay, within a few decades after we were all fully convinced Capcom developed Alzheimer's when the mere mention of this game comes up, we'll have an announcement for Exoborgs.

[@WiiCON-49000]

I remember buying this game shortly after it's release only because I stumbled across it in a store and thought it looked cool. I still think it's pretty fun and I like all the playable characters, but the mixed score is very accurate. You've seen the whole game after the first level, it gets very repetitive, and the last 2 levels (if you stick with the game that long) are way WAY too long.

[@Rivalseeker]

And I'm not the only one who remembers how irritating the robot enemy with the snake-like arm was, right?

[@GodChaos333]

You may be one of the very few people to have actually experienced the end of the game. According to the insanely low sales. So that’s something. Almost one of a kind experience

[@Hatsworthful]

@@GodChaos333 the final boss had an interesting design but it seriously had the same "we ran out of money so here's a rushed out conclusion or whatever"

[@GodChaos333]

@@Hatsworthful unfortunate. Still neat to hear.

[@Hatsworthful]

@@GodChaos333 in the end the studio behind spyborgs really got done dirty

[@buttertool6211]

I kinda love the original design of morning cartoons, I guess that "gruff seriousness" of the early 2000s strikes again!!

[@DeepGam3r]

Mr. Muscles, have you considered an episode on Square Enix’s classic The Quiet Man?

[@seb8523]

15:26 seeing Okami in that "few other failures" popup makes me very sad.

[@Brawler1993]

Oh my god I actually had this game when it came out. Never beat it and later sold it. Can't remember if I just got bored of it real quick or if I struggled with the difficulty.

[@alwaysasleep]

I certainly didn't get Spyborgs at launch, but I did eventually and recall having a decent bit of fun with it. This is a pretty wild ride, though. Had no idea about the original vision for the game. Leaning into the Saturday morning cartoon thing seemed cool, and the playable commercials even more so. What a shame.

[@MrSTVR]

As someone who was avidly subscribed to 2 different Wii-centric magazines at the time, this video is the first time I've ever heard of this game. I legit saw the title and thought you were talking about Cyberbots. I mean even Capcom flops like Gaist Crusher had an anime made, so this thing might be the most obscure IP they've ever put out.

[@Sabeythang]

I keep mixing up Spyborgs with Disney's Spectrobes franchise at first glance; their covers both have that "generic sci-fi action surrounded in blue" aesthetic. Speaking of which, Disney's original output in that era of gaming is ripe for exploration. The aforementioned Spectrobes, that Clue homage Guilty Party... imagine how things would be if they still had enough faith to pursue unique game-first properties like that.

[@NikosiaMateas]

I actually worked at EB Games when this game launched... We got ONE copy. One! So that 600 sales number Does not seem unreasonable.

[@WholeWheatBagels]

I never got this game, but I definitely remember it in the lead up to its release. The Wii was quite starved for quality third-party stuff even by Nintendo console standards, so even the faintest whiff of something that had even the slightest hope of being decent would catch the attention of Nintendo stans of the time (myself included). The promise of a new IP from Capcom got people excited and they were really hoping for something that was a bit darker in tone (something that the Wii was also lacking in). The disappointment at the initial reveal makes a lot more sense in that context, but the backlash was kind of a shame since it seems the final product was much worse off for its resulting shift in tone.

[@christophergarcia9022]

"It was originally more cartoonish but it then was changed to be more gritty and serious" this basically defines so many things around the late 2000s early 2010s. No wonder Indie games eventually exploded when it seemed like all AAA developers (sans Nintendo) basically forgot the "game" in the word "videogames". It's like both people playing and the guys in charge of decisions for games just forgot to have fun because they wanted to be the next Call of Duty, God of War or whatever.

[@ThePlatinumangel]

Matt, your offbeat and deadpan comedy is always so memorable and wittily timed. Love this series, can't wait for every Saturday!

[@LunarAntic]

Oh God this game, it was literally one level

[@PhriekshoTV]

I swear to God this game was being published by Disney Interactive (and not confusing it with Spectrobes). This is wild to me. I remember watching it fairly close back in the day

[@BaptizedBalkan]

I remember playing this game when I was a kid but only recently did I go through all the wii games to find its name. I have fond memories of this game

[@eatatjoes6751]

I totally would have loved the Saturday Morning Aesthetic they would have had going here over the "BLAND BROWN GRIT! BLAND BROWN GRIT!"

[@parkermaltbie8583]

Probably didn't help that Spyborgs was a 90's af name, and that DEFINATLY was not the style at the time.

[@Geno746]

If we're talking about obscure Wii games that nobody knew existed I'd love to see an episode on The Kore Gang.

[@someguy7777]

It's kind of seeing you cover video games everyone forgot about their existence

[@SgtKickass926]

"Capcom, what's a Spyborg?" "Well it's not quite a spy and not quite a cyborg, but oh man hahaha, so to answer your question I don't know."

[@kokotheclown2588]

This is a prime example of why listening to the fans it’s not often a good idea cause some game ideas are unique but just because some fans want a dark ooooh edgy game doesn’t mean I’ll sell especially a freaking Wii title also I wish they sold this Idea to Nintendo or THQ or some other studio that are known for those types of ideas

[@rayymond73]

I binged all the what happened videos for the past couple of weeks and I was waiting for this and then it happened. AMAZING

[@joeyjoejoe1394]

I enjoy that the title and thumbnail have to explain that this is a Capcom game because nobody’s heard of it. I had this game! I got it secondhand at GameStop a year or two later. I did indeed think it was difficult and more tedious than most beat ‘em ups, even contemporary 3D ones like a Sengoku Basara I never knew it was 1. Obscure or 2. Infamous among the audience that does know about it

[@trycon40]

btw i would love to see you cover ghost trick phantom detective because capcom down right ignored this BRILLIANT game by shu takumi aka the father of the ace attorney

12:14 I actually have one of these that's been in my drawer from when I was a kid, I played the game on the hardest mode recently and oh god the nostalgia was amazing. The story always felt so intriguing to me, I've always wished they'd make a second game

[@SeenAGreatLight]

You always do such excellent research! I'd love to see a look into the IP that nearly bankrupted the LEGO Company in the early 2000's: *Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension*

[@tron_9800]

Literally the only reason I knew of this game existence beforehand is because Matt mentioned it in a What Happened video about Capcom before.

[@anthonygerardotorresgonzal6269]

Man the first version of Spyborgs could have been the Occidental Hit countepart of Mega Man...Man what a wasted potential!

[@carmelosandoval5775]

I'm always grateful for this movie, because it was the first Punisher movie I saw and it gave us an incredible video game.

[@Onemanfunnyfarm]

Man, this was like a precursor to what became of Wildstar. Speaking of, prime What Happened? material right there. It's like eastern publishers have no idea how to handle that brand of humor and style, at least up until fortnite happened.

Resident Evil Survivor needs an episode of What Happened?

[@alleyway02]

Hearing the spiel for the initial idea made me wonder how the hell THAT game got on this show.. I am beyond disappointed.

[@Valkian24]

A shame when Capcom's creative side has been put on the shelve for the familiar these days because of mistakes like this. The original concept for Spyborgs sounds more interesting than the game we got but it's unfortunate that it didn't turn out that way. Almost reminds me a lot of Insomniac's Overstrike before it got changed to Fuse when EA's test audience didn't respond to it. That game deserves it's own What Happened? episode. (For the record, I did get Spyborgs some time after it's release but couldn't get into it)

[@MagmaMKII]

Okay, one game studio I am super curious to see you tackle in this series is Golgoth Studio, the makers of Magical Drop V and the Toki remake.

[@UltimateDragonX9999]

Finally you talk about spyborg since you review 2009 bionic commando.

The problem with Spyborgs announcement and reveals, fans were expecting 90s-early 2000s Capcom quality but, Capcom showed off a game in line with late 2000s-2010s era Capcom. If only Capcom fans at the time knew the horror of things to come.

[@mustard_96]

13:17 Never would I have ever guessed you'd bring up MySims Agents of all things. On a related note: MySims Agents is really good and you should definitely try it.

[@DP3com]

I remember buying it for $10-$15 a few months after release but wound up selling it (along with a bunch of other games as I needed the money to pay bills) a few years later without having played it. It was released in a time where I think every game dev was trying to make & release the next Gears of War, Wii Fit/Wii Sports, CoD Modern Warfare, Guitar Hero/Rock Band type game be it in art direction, gameplay function, genre, gimmick, etc. Spyborgs got caught in the shuffle of that console era and never stood a chance.

[@theogravity866]

I think you hit it spot on, everything was either wii sports or super dark gritty action game at the time Kinda funny now looking back on it

[@PsychoPatYT]

Changing the title to "Capcom's" Spyborgs was probably necessary me to remember what the hell this game even was.

[@catsorafgc]

Honestly the original game sounded a lot better then what we got. A Saturday Morning esque platformer with a focus on multiple gameplay styles sounds great. I wish we got that game instead

[@nerdtuga9180]

Bionic: Makes a game that's deliberately tongue and cheek and a send-off to saturday morning cartoons with graphics and gameplay tailor-made to the Wii's audience Capcom fans: It's not enough like Devil May Cry!
