As much as I love the skits, I gotta admit seeing a version without them when re watching videos is nice to see as someone who just wants to hear what Scott is talking about sometimes. Having another alternative is always appreciated

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Yes exactly! This one in particular. I like most of the skits, but not the ones in Gaming Revivals. This is exactly what I needed

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

What Scott is talk? 😂😂😂😂😂

I agree. I wanna see more of these just so I can comfortably listen to Scott speak about the topic.

This is a fantastic revival of The Scott we all Woz-ed back in the day.

[@saxonjf]

My thoughts exactly. Relatively short, fast paced, used the old outro music. I loved it.

[@Thepopcornator]

I think he’s just pandering to classic Scott fans with stuff like this.

Scott is the only person in the world who could make the connection between The Guy Game and Donkey Kong Country Returns.

The Jeff Spangenberg story is a fairly infamous one.

and Matt McMuscles, maybe.

[@brianhu5612]

One of these snippets is the length of one of his commentaries back in the day. As much as I love Scott's hours long video documentaries, I miss his 2018 style videos

[@LemorJamus]

We haven't gotten anything like Chia Pets or The Trial or Speed Dating in a long time :/ I respect the desire to hone down on more grandiose content, but I really do miss the silly skit stuff sometimes, and I think theyre good breaks between the long form stuff.

[@MacenW]

​@@LemorJamuswe got blue border and a Madden Christmas though. He got Brett Favre for the Christmas vid (and James rolfe to narrate) so I respect that but I didn't like blue border that much. I want to hear him talk about games

[@CookieDude10001]

My favorite thing about Pokémon red is that it’s not Narc. Scott really has his finger on the pulse of America.

[@TwilightWolf032]

Calling Chibi Robo Zip Lash "Necrophilia" is just so fitting! And sad... 5:26 Alright, that Federation Force logo brought some VERY unpleasant memories!

This scotts my woz VERY nicely.

[@SEMIA123]

Scott missed the funniest part of alyx: it ends on a cliff hanger literally ten seconds after the cliffhanger that HL2 ended on, after in universe retconning said cliffhanger via gman space magic.

Well it's such a perfect example. Had an NES and GB game, 2011 rolls around and Nintendo releases the 3ds and Kid Icarus Uprising. A few smash appearances and radio silence since

[@myriadmediamusings]

To count or not to count F-Zero revived with F-Zero 99? That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer cancellations or delays of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of bad gaming practices.

[@psychoapplesauceeater8562]

Nerrrrrrrrrd

[@nathankettle357]

F-Zero is trash and offensive to fans

[@armandostockvideos8386]

F-zero 99 is not a main game.

[@LostChildOfTime]

Sonic 4 to this day is the biggest betrayal of a legendary video game character by a laughably washed up video game company in history.

[@Yuli_Ban]

What's especially sad is how many of the Genesis Purist reviewers/ecelebs who sucked it off back in the day just because it wasn't another trash 3D Sonic game and even still defend it as something Sonic needed. Arguably, a rotten version of the cure is far more damaging than the disease.

[@ikagura]

@@Yuli_Ban Which is strange since Colours was the first decent 3D Sonic game released after many years. But careful about the last sentence, it may be used by antivax people.

You missed possibly the best revival of recent times with TMNT Shredders Revenge. It's that or Metroid Dread if you ask me.

[@armandostockvideos8386]

4:48 Isnt Jungle beat a main entry?

[@ci7210]

As someone who grew up with Crash Bandicoot. His revival is amazing. Since 2017 he got 4 game releases(5 if you count the mobile game) something unheard of in this era. Like Ratchet and Clank or Spyro. But those games needed like 3 different developers for each of them. 2 for Toys for Bob. Sucks Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper had a 10+ year hiatus. Longer than Crash Bandicoot. We need a Crash Bandicoot show or movie since Sonic and Mario was successful

I feel like you only say that because you don’t like most video games that came after 2007.

[@elchomper.1063]

I just spent the last 6 hours playing fallout 3 and it's one of the first Scott mentions and absolutely it feels like the first fallout on console. They didn't even have proper ads until new Vegas. Literally my only complaint otherwise it's better than NV in every way. So many b.s invisible Walls in that game way too many for something with Bethesda printed on the disc

Isnt this a reupload? I couldve sworn he already uploaded this

[@ninja_tony]

That’s essentially the point of this channel. It’s clips taken from longer/older videos.

[@Yuli_Ban]

@@ninja_tony Specifically the videos without the skits. The skits, while funny, can get in the way of Scott's thoughts. It's not unique to him by far- video game reviewers and ecelebs going back to the 90s had a tendency to do skits, and the longer they went on, the more elaborate and self referential those skits tended to become until you get to situations like late stage X-Play or later AVGN where the "skit" takes up a large chunk of the video and actively limits how much is actually covered, often times with something tangentially related to games in the first place. Whereas they may have at least been genuinely funny and topical early on, eventually they just get too into telling their own joke story broken up with video games every so often. Even if you like their humor or writing, it can get annoying to see a 20 minute video, and 12 of them are taken up by a dress-up skit. Channels like this that cut away the skits are always welcome in my book.

[@DT-tq8ku]

Why do people say the Retro DKC’s stay true to the formula? The formula is fundamentally different. Phenomenal games, but definitely not true to the original gameplay. Complaining aside, great video Scott.

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

The reason you like fzero and Metroid is because they dont release them until theres a real idea.

Scott having strangely large numbers of random old games makes me wonder, does he buy and sell them as a living, like is he running a shop or at least a vendor on ebay or amazon?

[@SuspiciousScout]

Being a hardcore gaming enthusiast, it's honestly not unusual to have a large collection like.that for one reason or another.

[@TheJadeFist]

@@SuspiciousScout I personally have multiple copies of some of the same games, but that's always for a reason, like I decided I wanted a boxed copy, or I have tons of japanese versions of games I already have the NA version of, or different console. Never really just decide I need 10 of the same version of a game.

[@SuspiciousScout]

@@TheJadeFist Oh, that's what you meant, multiple copies of the same game. I misinterpreted your original comment. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if those were empty boxes Scott got for the joke. I do know he uses multiple editing tricks to make it seem like he's breaking stuff when he's actually not, or he uses already broken things as props.

@@ikagura The problem is that Miyamoto doesn't care for stories in games unless it's Zelda and Pikmin. Coming up with a new villian, while still having gameplay as good as Andross would be difficult.

Clearly the franchise that Nintendo needs to revive is not F-Zero, nor Kid Icarus nor even Mother/Earthbound, but Ice Climbers.

[@ikagura]

To do what with the concept?

[@goldlight1322]

@@ikagura I mean, my comment was mostly meant as a joke. Since, you know, I don't think anyone is actually asking for a new Ice Climbers game compared to the others. But to give a serious answer, even if nobody actually wants a new Ice Climbers game, I think you could do stuff some neat stuff with the concept in this day and age. I mean, there are games out there with a similar premise; Celeste and Bread & Fred come to mind.

[@TheSignPainter500]

Me, I want a new F-Zero Stop saying i dont

[@deluge6479]

Most of the people who asked for Shenmue 3 had never played the first 2, either that or they played the games once or twice so their nostalgia made thek think those games are better than they actually are. Then they buy Shenmue 3 and realize how bad the game is. Not to mention the story is sooo disappointing. If you want to play Shenmue, just play the Yakuza series, its basically a better version of the same series.

[@crashtefano]

The Sands trilogy of Prince of Persia was arguably the most iconic iteration of that franchise. I still respect the other versions, especially the original Prince of Persia because it's where everything started, and I can't wait to check out the new installment of the series myself, but when I hear "Prince of Persia", the first thing that comes to my mind is Sands of Time or any of its direct sequels I played on PS2.

Personally, I love revivals of old franchises. If they are done right, that is. Some are very hit or miss, but most have been great fun. Look at Resident Evil. I know, 7 wasn't really a revival, but take 6 and compare the two. RE is awesome once again.

[@SergioSergio12345]

I think the best outcome is for a game series to be revived in spirit but not in name. For example, Mega Man Zero could not have a revival cus the 4th game was the bona fide last one. But Gunvolt was its spiritual sucessor, serving as a pseudo revival.
