While “The Satan” in Ninja Kids might just be a translation glitch (Japanese doesn’t really have a definite article, so its usage in English can be unintuitive), it also aligns with the usage in the Hebrew Tanakh. The book of Job refers to השטן (HaSatan), meaning something like “the adversary/accuser”. If you only translated the article, it would be “The Satan”. Just a neat little tidbit.

[@otaking3582]

I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to be comedic, like when a letter for Kermit is labeled as "Mr. the Frog", or when stuff is badly translated from English to Spanish and then back to English ("¡Me llamo de pescina de la muerte!")

There's a ps1 game called DBZ that I bought as a kid because my dumbass thought it was a dragon ball z game. It ended up being one of my most played games because it was a more fun version of soccer like the one in this vid. Except it has bombs, guns, and chainsaws. Not to mention button combos to do bigger damage on the enemy so you do a crazy wrestling move on them lol. Cool to see an older version of that game style.

I remember playing Rohga Armor Force (Wolf Fang Kuhga 2001) years ago, and that game has ports in PS1 and Saturn, part of the same series as the shooter Vapor Trail. And as for Xexex, I remember playing it on the PSP Salamander Portable compilation. (Xexex did appear on the SNES BUT as a minigame in Ganbare Goemon 2.) Vendetta's main characters (except one) are somehow reminiscent of Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and Van Damme.

"Hot dog" can refer to doing stunts/tricks, generally showing off. I assume they're making reference to fighter jets doing barrel rolls and stuff like that. No idea if you can even do that in the game though.

Thanks for bringing back up that memory, snes drunk. Love your channel! Been watching it for a couple years now. Great content.

[@starlitalpha7]

I can't be 100% sure about this, but if I recall correctly, hotdog storm is called that as a nod toward the heroes which the logo on the title screen appears to refer to as "The first supersonics" Of course, this might just be a phalanx situation where they just wanted their game to stand out in some way.

[@Icemanbl]

Had no idea Saturday night slam masters had a sequel! Good find.

[@Hektols]

I warn that it is a traditional VS fighting game with a wrestling theme, not a wrestling game.

[@tygrus3495]

Probably the most MOST underrated game from Capcom is Tiger Road, the Ghosts 'n Goblins unpopular brother (from the same creator Tokuro Fujiwara). Is a shame that Tiger Road was never ported to SNES (only and poorly to the TG16), is a short but very fun side-scroll fighting game (well is a 1987 game, so don't expect too much), with nice music and sound effects, and a hard to master jump as part of its proposal, and with an amazing Chinese folklore behind. At least Trojan had his own NES version, and GnG both NES and SNES: Tiger Road should have a sequel, remake, or a relaunch, other than the lost and forgotten hidden gem in Capcom's Classic Collection Vol. 2 for PS2. For me is a classic, and a must play game if you love the Side-scroll fighting genre. Cheers.

Don't forget in Ninja Kids, the moon in that werewolf boss battle doubles as a life bar.

[@chrisjahnke2439]

One change I remember from Slam Masters 1 and 2 was in 1 you could move your character up and down in the ring. In 2 you can only move left and right like in street fighter

Heavy Smash is basically Huttball from SWTOR. That's awesome, I wonder if that was the inspiration for it.

[@ExpansionPack]

The First Funky Fighter has a really unique setup that makes playing it a blast! There's nine large buttons that you have to press, similar to whack-a-mole, and you have to hit the button that responds to the area onscreen. It's a trip to play the full cabinet and a pretty good workout too!

[@analogmoz]

I don't think I will ever get over the unique combination of intense video game knowledge with serious sports references. I mean, I don't ever get the sports callouts but it sounds cool?

[@anonimonn9775]

I strongly disagree with "Ring of destruction" being a good sequel to "Saturday Night Slammasters", it took away everything good about Slammasters and turned it into a generic vs beat'em up. It's not bad but there's no comparison with the original since they are even in diferent genres

[@Shinmsl]

Yeah its great graphic spectacle but the gameplay was simplified to a watered down to be more of a mediocre Street fighter clone. Maybe there was a middle ground game possible that the way they did it they pretty much nixed all the charisma that the original one had

[@magnussio]

Agreed. Also, wasn't this game on the SNES?

[@otaking3582]

I first heard about Slam Masters 2 via MvCI rumors. Prior to the announcement of the DLC characters, there were references in the game's files to such characters as Black Panther, Monster Hunter, etc, and Black Widow was among those names. Noticing that there were more Marvel characters than Capcom ones, people started assuming that "Black Widow" was referring to the Slam Masters 2 character so that it would even out. But then it just turned out that no, it was in fact Natasha Romanoff, this whole fan-theory was a case of Epileptic Trees, and Crapcom just really wanted to piss off people with OCD.

Speaking of Pacman-Era things, there was this supposed sequel to Robotron named Blaster. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a twin stick shooter, but it's kinda like Space Harrier before Space Harrier and they actually mix things up beween levels so you have different objectives every time. This never really made it anywhere, even when they were tossing out compolations of older arcade games everywhere.

And after playing Tmnt2 the arcade game we thought that expecting an arcade port for the NES wasn't something outrageous

[@elbitxo5945]

Ring of Destruction is awesome. Closer to a SF, but more aggressive since there aren't many kame attacks, and it has way more special grappling moves than your usual 2D fighter. Really nice combo system and mechanics.

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

A "hot dog" is a pilot that unnecessarily shows off. This was universally understood in the 80s. Many of our grandfather's told us stories of WW2 besides the old war movies and literature we grew up with then. When I was growing up every kid pretty well knew every detail of military jargon and culture and I remember us being able to name every weapon and vehicle and many of their tactical uses and benefits. There were even trading cards on these subjects. It was like the space shuttle and Nasa missions, you just knew all these things through osmosis somehow. Like the rules of sports and boxing weight classes. I knew more about that stuff when I was 10 then i do now. It was just what was "happening." It was like superheroes and their powers, for some reason you just knew all this stuff, it wasn't in question. Like later kids knew pokemon stats. Im pretty sure that came later but it was still the same people in the same world from developer to audience. Especially in terms of shooters, which were mostly an arcade generation thing. Edit: Example: "This guys a real hotdog." "Don't be a hotdog, kid, think of the mission." "He was a complete hotdog in flight school, but one day of action changed all that real quick." Just a guess, but probably derived from the exclamation "Hot Dog!" When witnessing something spectacular. That would be in line with other slang of the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s generations. "This guy's one of these "Ra-Ra" types, always cheering his side on regardless of the outcome."
