Portable Pro Skater Games (GBC) - Square Eyed Jak

[@Trisaaru]

It's insane that this is Tony Hawktober's 3rd year! I still remember the first. It's been a ride.

[@SquareEyedJak]

I know, it's crazy how quickly this has come up. Just in time for the 20th anniversary of the series!

[@alex_-yz9to]

Watchout for these tony hawk videos, Accidents can ha- *Game freezes*

[@ErdrickHero]

A Tony Hawk Ride.

[@adultmoshifan87]

I remember my 13th birthday: I wanted Tony Hawk’s 2 for PlayStation, but when mom got to the store, they had run out! As a result, she got me the Game Boy Color version instead, and I was still a happy person!

[@botchedspiny477]

Tony Hawktober is the best thing to come out of the pro skater series since Proving Grounds, period.👍

[@skimaskedabi]

Ign be like: "the game is a mess i hate it 8/10 a little something for everyone." Jak be like: "i really liked the game and had a lot of fun...3/10"

[@NanaKyoto]

I've been feeling very unwell lately, but I think this year's Hawktober can help ease my pain.

[@BugsyFoga]

HAWKTOBER 3 HAS OFFICIALLY BEGAN !!!

[@brunogrill3774]

Nathaniel Foga dude I see you everywhere

[@AzraelEntertainment]

10 EPISODES?! Holy shit, now THAT is a damn solid reason to buy a crapton of cold ones for the family "watch along" meet up. Cheers man, it's already a tradition in our household, since the last two years)

[@SquareEyedJak]

For real? You sit with the family and watch Hawktober?

[@AzraelEntertainment]

@@SquareEyedJak yeah, for the first one- I just showed it to them via mail, but last year we actually started the tradition of getting together for a few days to watch the actual premiere of the episodes:D

[@SquareEyedJak]

Man that's crazy. Snap a pic if you do the same this year, sounds like a whopper family you've got there... with quality taste in content if I say so myself 😉

[@AzraelEntertainment]

@@SquareEyedJak copy that, the family arrives tomorrow actually, so gonna snap a pic by the end of the Hawktober:D And yeah, you got all the rights to call your vids a quality content, since you're one of the only unbiased no-bullshit and undyingly funny channels left on this platform)

[@fastbreak333]

It's nice to see the handheld games explored. People don't usually take an in depth look at them and when they do, they're old reviews that get all weird and angry. Ah, the old KZbin days when everybody wanted to be like AVGN.

If the finale is Tony Hawk himself showing up, I will legitimately fly to Australia to kiss your feet.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Now that'd be dope!

[@fizzpeak123]

It was even bigger than that!

[@alaeriia01]

Guess what?

[@BroudbrunMusicMerge]

Seeing that first game dragged me kicking and screaming back to my early childhood, good lord

[@Valientlink]

Tony hawk 1 GBC was literally designed for 7 year olds like me at the time lol

[@thegamingreaper0288]

Awesome video and what a great way to start Tony Hawktober 2019!!!!! 😀😉👍

[@davidaames64]

I love to discover new and innovative Game Reviewer... now I have to watch 3 Tony Hawktobers 😎😎😎❤️ very entertaining content... 😋

[@heyitsnehemiah786]

Keep up the amazing work!!! 25k ppl love and support you 💙

[@vsauce_johnny2516]

Man these games look good for GBC. I remember the colours always being washed out and desaturated, that was when I could actually see what was on screen.

[@DBZking119]

tony hawktober is something i look forward to every year well I look forward to every square eyed jak video but this is always a special time

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers dude, means a lot! I usually look forward to it being over because it's a lot of work but, glad people think it's worth it ahaha 😅

[@paultaylor_yt3577]

Tony Hawktober is finally here! It feels like Christmas has come early!! I can already tell its gonna be fucking good lol. Loved the video man looking forward to the next video! :D

[@BranSnakes]

These game compilation videos are the best. I have a feeling the final episode will be the 2 hour-long special!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Well I'm glad you like them because there are A LOT this year, just to get through everything. Helps given that there isn't a significant amount to say on each one.

[@Hawk-q9d]

@@SquareEyedJak I'm looking forward to the GBA games. I really liked American Sk8land. It was a pain to play on a mobile emulator but it was still an enjoyable experience.

[@rafaelsoares8282]

Thanks for all this videos about the tony hawk on portables. Your channel is a good mix of fun and game review.

[@Sephinova]

Another awesome review as always and an awesome start to Hawktober!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate! :)

[@reagandow850]

You took the words right out of my mouth when it comes to the sounds on Pro Skater 3 (gbc). It sounds exactly like an Atari game. I was having horrible flashbacks of my youth. 🤘

[@MelloWeapons]

I absolutely love these intros. They look really good and set the tone for the episode beautifully. This series gives me just another thing to look forward to the following years.

[@bbjb7459]

Glad to see the series kicking off again. This will be a wild 2 weeks for us all.

[@eastfieldfilms8593]

Great video, this series is what got me into your channel in the first place, I watched 2017 Tony hawktober a month before 2018's release, it quickly became a favorite youtube series of mine

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thank you very much! :D

[@androidgear2114]

It's here it's finally fucking here HawkTober has begun celebrate and rejoice. also at 4:07 this guy right here is my favorite KZbinr

[@GundamrussGaming]

Always look forward to this october series :) fantastic production as always :)

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate!

[@X360DevNerd]

holy crap ive owned this since a child and i never tried tornament mode i only thought there was s the half pipe LOL

[@MrBoilertech]

Tony Hawktober yay 😍

[@SMWHobz]

I feel like the idea with Pro Skater 3 was that you would listen to your own music while you played. Like you said, half the fun comes from shredding through to the awesome soundtrack, and they knew they couldnt compete with the gameboy's soundchip, so they just left it silent so you could listen to some RATM without having to mute the sound effects

[@ElliotGindiVO]

I don't care about this series at all, I downright suck at them but this event on your channel is always great. I especially like when you try to skate.

[@ferryshuttlex]

glad your back Jak, hope your doing well! What a great way to start of Hawktober!

[@shawnberry8052]

Ah Hawktober, there is still something to look forward to, Thanks Jak, we appreciate mate

[@SquareEyedJak]

Glad it's appreciated, cheers dude! :)

[@ДенисПлахотя-о2ч]

The gameplay is so realistic that any player can forget where he is, in game or in physical world.

[@orussonobrasil]

You rock man! Keep the videos coming!

[@DomtheDevilsRival]

I gotta say, these handheld variants always come with some surprises.

[@moejuggler6033]

Welp, I just found out what I'll be watching for the next several hours.... Haha! Thanks man this stuff is awesome!

AHHctober is finally here I'm crying with happiness

[@Wrathchild1995]

Glad to see Hawktober back, once again 😁 Hell yeah!

[@mikoto6505]

Great video Jak! Been hyped for this.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

THPS3 on GBC was the first Tony Hawk game I ever owned. It was a frustrating game indeed. I never played the real THPS3 until a year or two ago.

[@FireStormDel]

I'm wondering, since after this year, you'll have covered pretty much every game in the Tony Hawk series, what would you do for Year 4? My only guesses are either rip-off titles like Grind Session and Simpsons Skateboarding, or sports titles made by the same people who made the Tony Hawk games like Mat Hoffman's BMX.

[@fathersunglasses6085]

Disney Extreme Skate Adventure too!

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I once saw a video that compiled a bunch of angry people yelling at the Pro Skater games on GBC. One of the quotes that stood out to me was *"WHY IS TONY BLACK?!"*

[@MorbyGanaWho]

Good Old Xindictive..

[@Hawk-q9d]

*"WHY IS TONY HAWK BLACK?!"*

[@Takimeko]

You're talking about Minime's video on the GBC Tony Hawk games, right?

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

It's Hawktober, and I'm ready to rock with my Hawktober shirt, on October!

[@AnthonyWabo]

Sick dude!

[@GeekGamerGui]

You could check Trick Boarder (snowboard game) on GBC. It's very similar to the first Tony Hawk game you've reviewed here.

[@-AK-]

Oh man, I clicked on this as soon as I seen it. The GBA ones are a bit more similar to the console experience, looking forward to seeing what you've got to say about those. Though, I'm most excited for the psp episode.

[@TwoGunToast]

I would love to see you review the Gameboy Tech Deck skateboarding game

[@SporkSlayer]

I can't wait untill Hawktober 4 when you talk about Tony Hawk wannabe's. Wakeboarding Unleashed: Featuring Shaun Murray will finally get it's time to shine.

[@SquareEyedJak]

I can't wait either to be honest, I'm keen for Hawktober to take a broader turn to include more than just the skateboarding.

[@Hawk-q9d]

@@SquareEyedJak One game worth checking out is Geoff Rowley Skate & Slam on JME. A damn great old school mobile game. Notable for the impressive sprite animations and controls.

[@K.J.S.est1994]

You should try and review Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure which is a spin-off of THPS but it has the Disney licence containing characters and levels based on Disney films such as “Tarzan,” “The Lion King” and “Toy Story” the console versions also use the same engine used in THPS 4 plus for a kids game it also has a Nu Metal soundtrack containing songs including TRUSTCompany’s Downfall.

[@rohry4905]

Awesome vid jak! Hope you're doing well :^)

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate! Doing ok, but still a lot of Hawktober work to finish before week 2.

[@SDK2K9]

Happy 20th anniversary THPS! ^_^

[@chrisopps6936]

No Dislikes!?!?! Keep it that way!

[@Takimeko]

THPS3 GBC is the Dark Souls of extreme sports games.

[@avionbruce9749]

Starting off the 20th anniversary on the 20th of October. Nice

HAWKTOBER!!

[@gamerguy425]

I have a few of portables in the series (THPS 1 2 & 3, THUG, THASL) but literally all of them I played for like 15 minutes and never touched again. looks like I wasn't missing out on a ton so far lol

[@hankhill1964]

Natsume also made harvest moon freinds of mineral town. That was one of my favorite games as a kid.

[@SquareEyedJak]

I've only played Back to Nature on PS1 which I'm pretty sure they also made, but I fucking love it.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Oh really? Well fuck. Who made them then? It's a series I'm actually really keen to try more of the games for, possibly even for videos so anyone know the good ones worth playing?

[@ps3beatswii]

@@SquareEyedJak Victor Interactive Software made those. I never knew they had a hand in the original Tomb Raider. So there's that.

[@hankhill1964]

@Ayan Mao huh.

[@hankhill1964]

@@SquareEyedJak As a matter of fact, friends of mineral town was a remake of back to nature for the gameboy advance.

[@sprite777xpress7]

I love DA tonyhawktober siries 😎😎😎

[@TheNathanNS]

The animations on THPS3 were really fluid tbh.

[@SquareEyedJak]

YES, I was very surprised by that. Even on the smaller scale next to THPS2, every single trick is so defined and all look awesome.

[@aaronlarge6244]

Tony Hawktober YES

[@fikrinifyful]

Will you review many of J2ME tony hawk games? That thing is my childhood tho

Got to fill 10 days of Hawktober with something.

[@starcode5000]

This week is gonna be fuckin awesome🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@zexalsrevenge511]

1:58 You do know that Natsume was responsible for great titles like some of the Medarot (Medabots as I remember it, I saw the show as a kid) games, Pocky and Rocky, that Gundam and Power Rangers fighting game, Wild Guns, The Ninja Warriors for SNES and recently their revivals like Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, right? You forgot to mention that in your video. Oh well, somebody probably already told you about Natsume in a near 5 year old video. Don’t take it personally mate. I also want to tell you that I’m a fan of Natsume’s work.

[@AceTrainerX3]

4:07 "LOSER! You're a LOSER! Ya make me SICK, ya big BABY!"

[@DmitriyK12]

The Nintendo GB also had ports of 720 Skateboarding and Skate or Destroy...no offense, but you skipped them entirely.

[@LorraineMcFly]

I'm wanting to get into the Tony Hawk franchise but don't know where to start. What do you think would be the best starting game for a noob like me?

[@SwiftyStardust]

Dark Souls is the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 GBC of action games.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Well what do you expect, Hawktober is the Dark Souls of channel specials as I've been told in the past. Makes you think.

[@CptnWolfe]

I just bought Pro Skater 2 and 3 for the Gameboy Color on eBay for less than 40 dollars total

[@pilot3605]

You know, this looks quite pretty for a gbc game. Compared to something like Rayman 2 on gbc, it looks beautiful even lol

[@SharonisCarin321]

I got a good question for Tony Hawktober! IRL how do you discover if you are Regular footed Goofy footed or go Mongo? That way when I play Tony Hawk I can play it to my real life board stance

[@Soundwaves329]

This will be good

[@Anon24052]

1:33-1:52 looks a lot like my experience with the PlayStation Vita

[@SquareEyedJak]

Man... I thought Vita would have had better graphics than that.

[@Anon24052]

Square Eyed Jak I meant by the reactions.

[@heyhocodyo97]

You should review 720 its not tony hawk but its a OG skate game

[@bolstaaa]

I owned Pro Skater 3 when I was younger, and thought I was just really shit at it.. Glad to hear that after all these years, it wasn’t 100% down to my incompetence 🤣

[@SquareEyedJak]

Yo it's really tough, I'd say give it a second chance though. The challenge is satisfying to overcome.

[@ErdrickHero]

Is your name actually Jak or is it a reference to Jak and Daxter?

[@gamerguy425]

I am no expert in hardware, but, the lack of music in THPS3 may be deliberate. the gameboy only has like TWO channels for music/sound or something like that, so they could have opted to have more advanced sound effects instead of music for immersion's sake, seeing as this is much more "hardcore" than the other GBC games. . or maybe the composer slept with the lead programmer's wife and got kicked off the team, who knows?

[@DuelmasterX3]

The only other Tony Hawk games you could possibly review after this are mobile Tony Hawk Games. Which probably exist to be fair. They’re probably not very good although some of them might be decent.

[@Elysians519]

is this tasmania :O

[@SDK2K9]

A Tony Hawk's game without the licensed music just feels unnatural to me.
