The History of Capcom: 1984 | CAPCHROMOLOGICAL | Rewind Arcade

[@wargameboy72]

Bro, I just wanted to say, I think you're videos are awesome!!!! It's a real crime you don't get more views...I'll never understand why some jackass making reaction videos, gets a billion views. But someone making real heart and soul videos doesn't!!!! You're unique style of telling the story and funny little animations always put a smile on my face. Thank you so much. 🤩👍👍👍👍👍

[@RewindArcade]

Really appreciate the kind words. Thanks a ton man! I'm taking a break from doing new stuff on KZbin lately because I haven't been doing too well view-wise with the more recent videos I've put out, but I'm hoping to get back to it this year at some point, and comments like this are a great motivator. Thanks again!

[@abandoned-tech]

@@RewindArcade Couldn't agree more with the comment above. Good on you for not pandering to the trash algorithm but I feel you on the difficulty for sure. This might be the best channel I've come across since @SummoningSalt for doing deep dives embedded in excellent storytelling (with much more polished editing). I wonder if he would give you any insight on how to buck the trend with the algo. I hope you feel the desire to keep with it, even if it's at a slower pace or only as a creative outlet. If you don't achieve yt fame, it will absolutely not have been for lack of production skill.

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks so much, that means a lot! SummoningSalt is a talented storyteller and has excellent pacing in his videos so being compared to him is very flattering. I plan to continue on with this Capcom series since I’ve had fun with it, just need to find the time and motivation. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

most people aren't interested in specific topics indepth

​@@RewindArcade​ ive been binge watching these sort of videos lately and i really enjoyed the ones from strafefox... The professional voice narrator really makes things more smooth, enjoyable and it really grabs your attention and puts everything in a kind of rhythm that carries you through the video. I think youre doing a great job, the content and the video editing and music dont really miss anything... Hope the algorithm picks up your videos eventually.. my theory is, even with the billions of videos, theres still not enough quality content and people end up watching trash most of the time spent on youtube.. i believe if the quality is there with time the views will come. Good luck!

7:12 It's clear to see then where Akira Toryama got his inspiration for Dragon Ball from lol

[@RewindArcade]

Definitely! Dragon Ball’s characters and first story arc are heavily based on Journey to the West.

[@wargameboy72]

Great series!!! I love your video style. It's so distinct. I always loved the CAPCOM 1940's series. But I always wondered how a game based on the defeat of the Japanese in WW2, became so beloved in it's home country of Japan? Very educational and fun to watch. This is a video I will definitely watch over and over again. Great work, Bro.

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks a ton, really appreciate the kind words! It seems like Capcom themselves weren’t expecting it to be very big in Japan since it was designed with the West in mind, but that didn’t stop it from catching on over there.

[@indieeric6530]

Omg!!! I have been trying to find you again for so long. I couldn’t remember your new channel name. So glad I did. I’ll have to catch up again. See you on the next one.

[@RewindArcade]

Sorry about that, I changed the channel name to Rewind Arcade earlier this year which confused a lot of people, haha. Good to see you back again!

[@dezm101]

1942 started a great series, but it is so curious considering the historical context - imagine a series that pits the protagonists against the US lol. I didnt know about the GBC port of 1942 will have to check that one out. Great job, really hope this wonderful series continues!!!

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks dez!! Yeah, it’s really interesting that a trip to the movie theater is what inspired the game and that it received so much popularity in Japan given the subject matter. 😅

[@ty_sylicus]

These retrospectives are so enjoyable!

[@RewindArcade]

Glad you’re enjoying them, thank you!!

[@johnmann6461]

Praying for a 1985 one day. Capcom's history is so rich and fascinating -- and the love letter's they write to their own products (continuing to re-use and re-reference their own cast of characters) shows how much care they put into their series.

[@RewindArcade]

I wrote about half of 1985 so far. Just need to finish it up one of these days. 😅

[@rchassereau2]

Really good videos - enjoying the heck out of your channel

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@doburu4835]

i love your videos dude. They are all well made

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you, really appreciate it!!

[@vileslair]

Fantastic series!

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you so much!!

[@legbender1584]

literally 1984... in a good way😊

[@Vampier]

Currently working - looking forward to give this a good viewing later on today 😀

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you!

[@IAmNVA92]

Currently working, still watching 🤫

[@lemonlair2508]

God I absolutely adore these videos. Are you planning to get more out?

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you so much, appreciate that! As of right now I am taking an extended break from doing anything on my main KZbin channel since most of my newer videos haven't performed very well and I'm pretty burnt out. I may continue Capchromological at a later point though. 👍

[@Christopher-bx1rp]

That was the year I was born in 1984

[@RewindArcade]

It was a good year for video games! 👍

[@Jay-dk6hf]

Hey i hope you fiinish this series, really well done.

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you!

[@yousefslimani99]

I remember your channel name was Chris ol crisps if I remember correctly! I was kinda confused when I watched one of your videos in shmup junkie channel to make sure if it’s you or someone else!

[@RewindArcade]

Yup, that’s me haha. I changed the channel name to better reflect my content/videos a year or so ago. 👍

[@dietdorito4566]

I NEED MORE

[@jorpetzz]

can u do 1985 capcom games

[@RewindArcade]

The script is already half written for 1985, but the 1984 video performed so poorly that it's been hard finding the motivation to finish the 1985 video up. I'll definitely get around to it eventually though. 👍

[@Samsgarden]

I'd like to see documentation of arcade designers by name. They are literally obscured under the banner of the parent company.

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah, it’s difficult to piece together exact names outside of the main designers for each game since they were never directly credited. Toshio Arima handled a lot of the main programming on the early Capcom games, but he will get talked about more in the next video since he fits into Ghosts ‘n Goblins/Makaimura in a funny way.

[@Samsgarden]

@@RewindArcade Designers of note can be sourced, for example, Fukio Mitsuji of Taito. It was interesting how game mechanics were produced with primitive assembly language. Who was responsible for the glorious life-like character behaviour in Rolling Thunder for example? Where did these people study, what became of them?

[@Nitecrawler82]

I had no idea the levels in 1942 were based on actual battles!

[@RewindArcade]

Right?? I had no idea either!

[@LeftyPem]

The pirate captain “Bousu” doesn’t actually have a name. His title is a bad transliteration of “Boss”. This happened again in the NES semi-sequel, where the ship mini-boss is named “Biado”, an mis-transliteration of Beard, as in Blackbeard.

[@RewindArcade]

Huh, that's really interesting. Appreciate the info!

[@LeftyPem]

@@RewindArcadeAlso, please continue this series❤ it is very well presented and Capcom’s first several years brought so many amazing titles and franchises!

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you! Hoping to continue on at some point. 👍

[@samuelremthanga1021]

Can you make a Part 2???

[@RewindArcade]

Been taking a break from KZbin but the script for part 2 is halfway written so hopefully one of these days. 👍

[@dennismob6734]

next video could you make a video series marvel vs capcom game

[@dennisking5975]

this video doesn't have the attention it deserves
