Recent Game Pickups - 38 Games

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks for the huge compliment on my videos. I really appreciate it! And yes, I love the Shadow Hearts series on the PS2. Great stuff

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Great pickups and I love that you always have Video footage of the games playing! :D

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@KayCato - I originally tried the Classic controls...and they are ok. Very close to what I expected, but then I struggled with combos. So now I'm back to the Standard controls and slowly getting used to it, but it's tough! I played SSX 3 for a year solid, and now I need to reprogram my brain!

[@robsonpommer7464]

Not everybody shows gameplay footage. That's my treat.

[@ConorChaos]

Everytime MJR says "Add it to my collection." I picture him as General Grievous. :P

[@PeteDorr]

Great pickups, I am most excited that you now have Astal!

[@J4rmo78]

This might be the best video you've uploaded - yet. The shirt, the intro explanation and the rest of it.. just pure AWESOME!!!

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

really glad to see raiden iv in there. that game is pretty bitchin. alien crush! dude you gotta pick up devil's crush, that game has amazingly metal music and a really badass board setup. wonder boy games are awesome as hell, just sucks sega has yet to revist it in years and years. cold fear was meh at best, i genuinely expected better but it's not the worst thing ever. r-type final is another great installment in the series. also thanks for havin me in the vid at the intro man \m/

[@jmart0031]

You have the perfect time release between episodes you dont do everyday and dont go over a week and a half and it's a for sure that I'll watch and make sure to pay attention to your deo! great job!

[@shahid1296ify]

Game pick up episodes are the best !

[@dejamhu]

I would consider your review style to be the best! I like the idea that a game is either fun or not so great. Your innocuous approach towards video games is a trait that most reviewers do not exhibit. Keep up the great work.

[@sylentknyte]

In a weird way, one thing I like about you is that you don't know everything about every videogame and system ever made, like many other game reviewers. Many would call that a bad thing, but I actually find it refreshing. Great vid.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@RoccoPwner - More retrospectives are always coming. They just take a lot of time and thought to do them right. But have no fear, I've got some churning around in my skull.

[@TheCurlyP]

Got to say that I also like to see the gameplay footage as you talk about the games. I can quickly see what kind of gmae it is and it makes it far more interesting than most of the other 'games I bought' vids.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@sylentknyte - Thanks! I know quite a bit about PC gaming in the 90s, with companies like Spectrum Holobyte, SSI, Microprose, LucasArts, and Sierra obviously... However, it's so exciting to be collecting games for consoles I never owned back then. It's all new to me!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@jthm53 - My iCade isn't wobbly at all. Perhaps you can get those felt furniture stickers for the bottom of chairs to help balance it out. Any Target or Home Depot should have them for cheap

[@Ochoa0592]

Dude, just found your channel, f*cking awesome, your videos are fun to see and one of the best video game collector's I've seen

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@Hayastantzi92 - Thanks! I got the ears at Disney World in Florida a few years ago. Been looking for a reason to wear it in my videos... And now that day has finally come. :)

[@dodoubledragon]

dude, you rock! luv your reviews & extras! loved dizzy when i was young on my zx spectrum - old skool

[@wgroenewold]

Love the footage of Astal in your video. Looking forward to buy some Saturn games right now!

[@Yirmumahnet]

These pick up vids are great for strolls down memory lane. I didn't own all of these but I was lucky enough to have friends that had 'em.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@GamecubeLPs - That's a very good price for GitS for PS1. I paid in a retro store $25 for a mint copy

[@mauller]

I loved Astal as a kid, it was probably my favourite game on the Sega Saturn. It's nice to see the Saturn getting some love lately, definetly one of the most underrated systems out there.

[@VideoGameSauce]

I've been watching for a minute and it's already epic. Great stuff Jesus! Whooooo!

[@JakeOfAllTrades17]

What I love about your videos is the game clips!!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@sonicdeck - I'd like to get the 3DS, but the 3D part messes with my eyes. That means I'm stuck playing with it's best featured turned off. I'll eventually get one for the games... but it's disappointing.

[@somegamer1879]

Great video, thx for the game footage. I played mischief makers back when it came out and it was cool. Legendary wings was one of my favorite games. I'd buy that intellivision, it looked brand new.

[@dragoonmog]

Your pick up videos are much better than other channel's pick up videos. I also recently bought Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap and it is an excellent game. The video Happy Console Gamer did on the Wonder Boy series is what made me want to hunt down a Master System. I have been looking for a copy of Mischief Maker in my area.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@AlphaOmegaSin - Thanks for letting me add you to the intro. You definitely have some serious rocker hair going on! I'm jealous. \m/

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@Retromancers - Thanks for the donation dude! That was very cool of you

[@battroidattack]

Ghost in the shell is awesome, plus it supports analog stick!

[@stashmerkin9576]

Ghost in the Shell kicks ass on the PS1!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@IntellivisionDude - I bet you could recommend some Intellivision games! Right now, I need to figure out why it's so flaky. Hopefully it just needs a cleaning... Any suggestions?

[@marvelmania7283]

WOW. an intellivison. This was my first console. I was really young (like 4-6 years old). I wish I'd still have it, oh well. At least I kept all my consoles since the Genesis ^^ And since then I have gotten me a lot of older and newer consoles. Great pickups. Consider me a new subscriber (I'm amazed that I never bumped into your vids before) Oh and it's great to finally see a gamer that can appreciate vinyl ^^

[@Mcfly3077]

I've just became a fan of your page, and now know that you love shooters. A great shooter for the NES, if you don't already have it is Terra Cresta. It's not super expensive, but kind of hard to find.

[@timfuller213]

dude i can't believe he just refrenced AlphaOmegaSin. I love his channel!

[@Tochir0]

I always enjoy your pickup vids, don't stop putting them out just because everybody else does them. Yours are the best. - My favorite genre is shooters (2D). you gotta check out Zanaz on NES. Cheap and one of the best shooters on the system. Gun Nac is a sequel of sorts but more rare. Compile is the developer. One of the best shmup developers.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@yoeycrack1 - I no longer professionally review games...so I don't have a Sony Press contact anymore. Yes, I miss it when new hardware comes out...but then again, I now get to review and play the games that *I* want to. That said, I'm keeping an eye on the Vita...but for now, it's a bit out of my price range. It looks powerful though!

[@oss29]

Great video love all the games you pick up keep up the good work.

[@NicoPlaysIndies]

Awesome pickups, Legendary Wings is a fantastic game. Micro Machines looked cool, I might have to pick that up.

[@chipthiefUwU]

Hey man. Keep pumping these vids out. You're much better in front of a camera than I am.

[@KINGKARMA21]

Theres nothing wrong with a regular pickups video no matter how simple I still watch them.

[@Retromancers]

Thanks for the shout out dude, and glad you liked Desert Falcon and Joust! ;)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@CrazyConsoleGamerz - The only tip I have is to really understand what you like and don't like about your favorite KZbin videos...and then go and create your own. You'll get better and better through practice. Lots of practice. I'm over 100 videos now, and I still feel like I'm learning to make them better. Good luck!

[@clarkcooler4333]

thanks man for talking about all the Old Games

[@kinmanyuen]

I luv ur earpounding "this is metal jesus here" anounement on every vid

[@MikiDeFacto123]

I like your pickups videos,that my favourite section of your chanel! Nice games you got there! :)

[@TheGGShow77]

Nice Activision set, it is a great system to collect for! I love the boxed games complete with overlays...nice!!!

[@Oldgames1000]

Legendary Wings, Sparked the revolution of shooters. Great Game!!!

[@KeruptKiller]

First off the gift your wife got you for Xmas is Amazing, very cool!!! Lots & lots of cool pickups, Thunder force 2 & 3 is some of my all time favs on the Gen. You can't go wrong with SSX on the 360, its one of those games you can play off & on for years, and its really fun. Enjoy the games bro... rock on!!!

[@Iambored-yay]

Dude! I'm so jealous of all those SHUMPS and your wife! She is so awesome to get you that iCade for the iPad. You are truly lucky.

[@GoldenDave]

I Love Mischief Makers! I found it back recently and I'm so glad I got it back! It was the very first game I played on the N64! It's a very wacky game but it's super fun!

[@PrinceDavid]

Yeeaaah Raiden IV! I just got that recently too! That pinball game on Turbo Grafx looks pretty interesting too. I always wanted Mischief Makers too. Treasure games are really good. I am also glad you picked up R-Type Final, the game has insane replay value because of the ships you unlock, and alternate routes in stages. I think because you are such a shmup fan you should really do R-Type Final first. It's a gorgeous game and really underrated.

[@KayCato]

Nice video! And by the way, in the new SSX you can change the controls to classic which basically changes it to the SSX 3 control scheme.

[@renanhansch]

...Keep going man, keep rocking! I can say that i'm really in love with you and your channel hahaha, i wait impatient for your updates every week. You're great! ps: sorry for my english. take care, greetings to your family and DMP!

[@NickG8420]

I agree with the guy above you seem to be really passionate about games and just generally a fun loving guy. Very cool.

[@Stonerman023]

Dude, your videos are great! I'd just want to let you know, if you like the Micromachines game, you'll LOVE Mashed, and Mashed Reloaded on the original Xbox. They're amazing, me and my friends used to play 4 players for hours, days, and months back in the day!

[@nordicdusk]

Once again a top notch video great pick ups.

[@ducati5758]

Dark Summit is awesome and pretty original, I have great memories of playing through it when it first came out. Not sure how it holds up today but definitely worth a play.

[@kazxena]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, very informative, thankyou

[@TheHorselemonade]

Really love these videos man A+ keep up the good work

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Awesome pickups man! I own Raiden IV and it's so good. You should check out Raiden Fighters Aces on the 360. It's three games in one!

[@Retroairwaves]

The iCade looks like loads of fun! I will definitely pick me up one when I eventually get an ipad. Your wife rocks, haha. Another great pickups video.

[@Iambored-yay]

Dude! A C128 in that good of condition and he just "gave" it to you? That is awesome!

[@LanIost]

Just found your channel today. Great stuff so far. I just had to comment because I that you said the new SSX (Didn't know there was one. Strangely, I just got done with a session of SSX3 a half hour or so ago) is too simulation based and then proceeded to show a clip of crazy XXTTREMMEE blurry footage ;-) I've only played SSX3 so who knows..

[@KillingRaptor]

Wonder Boy III is a great game! It actually also was released for the Sega Game Gear and there was a port for the game on the TurboGrafx-16. That version was called Dragon's Curse. Good version of the game, so you could definitely look for that one too!

[@J0NNYJETSET]

Ghost in the Shell on the PS1 is without a doubt one of my faves on the console. Has a control style and graphic style similar to the Mega Man Legends games, which I LOVE. It's a truly epic game. Very short, though. You can beat it in a sitting if you really want to!

[@Submissive421]

Mischief Makers is my favorite N64 game when I was little. I would get mad if I couldn't find all of the gold gems in each of the levels. Boss battles were always the best part. Wished another game was made like it

[@mymainmanskins]

nice video and pick ups! you got a lot of xbox games i haven't played that ill add to my want list. i really would like to get an icade. gotta get an ipad first though. desert falcon is also on the 7800 btw. joust too. lock and chase is a great game that i played a lot back in the day on the 2600 i think.

[@Emabulator]

Another great show MJ!

[@cobradvs]

Great stuff! Darius Gaiden and Astal are 2 saturn games I'd love to have! Cool thunderforce 3! Thats a shooter i've wanted as well lol Excellent intellivision! You should like it, very cool underrated system!

[@andythrash.]

dude, you're the best! I absolutely love ur vids man! \m/

[@luckas30]

Your pick up videos rock!! And i love your T-shirt :)

[@fpsoftdev]

Dude I absolutely love Greg hastings paintball on the xbox. Me and my friends played the crap out of that in multiplayer when we couldn't make it out to the paintball field.

[@KingKongVSKingKong84]

Great pick-ups as always,

[@dokkenrox]

Ninja Gaiden: I used to play that a lot as a teen. Brutally difficult! I tried playing it again recently and realized that I didn't quite appreciate how hard it was back then. I guess I suck now?! Mike Tyson's Punch Out: another NES classic. I love it.

[@finksgirl]

omg Plok was literally my favourite game as a kid. And every time I tried explaining it to someone, they just looked at me like I was crazy. I couldn't remember the name for the life of me for years because I called it Plonk (to be fair, I was 4 or 5 years old when I got it). So awesome to see someone else talk about it.

[@thesteammachinepodcast]

DARK SUMMIT!!!! that game is so good, dude

[@boboy1000]

Intellivision Tennis is a great game. One of those couch games my buddy and I played constantly.

[@Shepard02]

@MetalJesusRocks Really nice video and great Games ( : Raiden 4 was originally a arcade release its a really cool Game!

[@gtmodelt]

You have some very fun games for that Intellivision system. I still pull mine out 3-4 times a year. Have about 60+ games for it. Just give it a good cleaning. The Intellivoice module is fun but unfortunately it only had 4 games. I have them too.

[@TheArmchairEmpire]

Nice job on Raiden IV and Alien Crush (now you can hunt down Devil's Crush to complement it!). Both are great games. What's your high score so far on Alien Crush?

[@Ponimaju]

nice video. i've got my dad's intellivision and about 20 games; don't have it hooked up at the moment but i've got the intellivision lives comp. for the OG xbox so i can play pretty much anything that i have the cart for (though ADnD treasures of tarmin isn't on there). and nice xbox finds, i recently got one myself to not have to worry about BC with the 360 and a lot of the games run much better (especially the KOTORs)

[@BSK8F]

You'll love Astal, it's amazing, one of the best Saturn games I've played. And about Ghost in the Shell, I've actually been looking around for a copy of that game, I loved the anime and movies and I have GitS Stand Alone Complex for the PS2, still haven't finished it, pretty fun though, you play as Kusanagi and Batou, but on foot, not inside the Tachikoma.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@roygbivniz - Re-Volt is awesome! I have it on the Dreamcast and it's excellent

[@cobradvs]

Oh and for the intellivision, I'd recommend Burgertime and Thunder Castle. 2 great games for the system!

[@MrBacchus18]

Cool just picked up Plok myself and it is really fun, but I'll never get through it because there is no saving at all. And I think Thunder Force III is just about the best shoot em' up you could pick up.

[@renanhansch]

@MetalJesusRocks doing one more great video, i'm really spreading your channel to everyone cause i think that EVERYBODY needs some of your charisma and knowledge about games a day. Like you i'm a lover of retro videogames and, not exactly "the metal" but a really fan of the grunge music, knowing that in live in seattle man, the cradle of it all, i have to invite you to see my band, here in Brazil, and spend some hours playing some Sega Mega Drive Shoot em' ups (Genesis for you,haha). continues..

[@japanesemickeymouse6694]

Vintage metal jesus right here 11/5/2019 :)

[@Dustrick]

I recently got that SSX demo and it is pretty fun! My boyfriend and I wanted to get Rayman Origins and it is pretty awesome! I also just got Aquaria, GTA 3 and The Fancy Pants Adventures on my iPad!

[@jthm53]

Saw the iCade in the video, awesome thing to have, mines wobbly though, is yours?

[@doginmylense]

Shark Shark! is my fav Intellivision game I have Intellivision lives for the DS and love it.

[@mrbassman4]

1 thing I would recommend is to not get SSX Blur for the Wii. I liked the concept of it and was really excited to play it but then when I got it the controls weren't very good at all and made it almost unplayable. Great video by the way

[@TheGameManDan]

Awesome games man. I love Legendary Wings. Wheres the records? LOL

[@TheHvyMetalZombie]

Great pickups friend! You HAVE to play the shit out of Night Stalker on Intellivision, that one is my favorite! Are you liking the Arcade add-on?

[@Auragenerator]

OMG you are playing Phoenix! My favorite game on iPad!

[@RockMcBoulder]

It was funny, when you said you got a game for N64, I asked myself "I wonder what he thinks of Mischief Makers" lol It's an interesting game, I have 3 copies of it for some odd reason. I'm not sure if you've addressed this in an older video, but what do you think of the Banjo-Kazooie series?

[@Infernape7890]

Dude, I love your videos. Some of the best video game collector videos out there to me. You've got tons of energy with your presence on camera and got a great sense of humor. You have some of the most fun videos I have seen in a long time on this site. Keep up the freaking awesome work, and rock on! I kind of collect for the PS2. It's more of a result of growing up being more of a Sony kid. If you haven't played the first Shadow Hearts yet, check it out. It's a much darker game than the second.

[@0Weedstar0uk0]

wonderboy the dragons trap was also released on the sega game gear i have a copy, no 3 in the title so no sure if its the exact same game. The gameplay looks the same tho cheers!

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

@MetalJesusRocks The technical side is where i don't have much experience. But first things first is clean the cartridge port real good with a contact cleaner. Clean all the carts good. Use one of those direct connect things instead of the switch box. etc. And just like 2600 games some games just won't come on fully inserted. Sometimes you have to wiggle them out a hair on one side or the other. If it's something more technical ask in the Intellivision forum at Atariage.
