Syd of Valis for Sega Genesis - Review | hungrygoriya

[@FabianoCruzAnimations]

Love it! You're always so detailed with your reviews that it just catches my attention for the entire video, also you speak very well and clear so it's easy to follow through. Nice one!

[@hungrygoriya]

Awww thanks for stopping in! I really appreciate your kindness, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SaadAzim]

Great video HG. I think the initial plan for the translation planned to rename Yuko as "Syd", hence "Syd of Valis". But somewhere down the line the localization team ran short of time, money, and/or care. Also, I believe back in the day, people working on localizing manuals were often working with vague ideas that may or may not be in the game. Especially with NES games. Where you'd end up with the manual saying something completely different from what was seen in the game.

[@hungrygoriya]

I thought it might have just been a misspelling of SD Valis, but then it makes you wonder why people in the game would go around calling her super deformed... it's a weird one for sure. And yeah, I've experienced the manual troubles in many games in the past, like Bionic Commando for example where they even mixed up which buttons were for which controls. The manual for this one was okay overall, but it's far from great English. Much better than some things I've read though.

[@SaadAzim]

I think the name was changed from "SD Valis" to "Syd of Valis" because the publisher was concerned that North American audiences wouldn't understand what an "SD" was. Admittedly, I've always wondered why they didn't go with something like "Mega Valis", or "Mighty Valis". :D

[@shirenthewanderer4770]

I'm always hungry for another Goriya review. I don't even play this series (although I've heard about it) and just hearign your voice explain stuff and be 100% objective the whole way through (I actually watched the whole video) makes me feel good.

[@hungrygoriya]

I've got Valis III on a list of games to play soon, so I'm looking forward to that. I hope to have a new video out soon too. I'm a little behind at the moment!

[@m.x.1800]

Ahh so glad to see a new vid from you! These kind of odd little titles bring such a fond nostalgia for me, as growing up with the SMS I was introduced to many :D. Thanks for sharing this fun review!

[@hungrygoriya]

You're very welcome! I didn't see too much out there on this game so I thought it would be a good thing to talk about it. I've played a few more Master System games lately but I'm just behind on writing reviews... there should be more of that coming down the pipe in the next little while!

[@tiamatmichellehart6821]

Yuko looks so much more grown-up on the box art; am I the only one who wishes her business suit was one of her in-game costumes? My experience with this series worked in full reverse: I played Super Valis IV (with its confusing *who are these people* instruction manual story) on September 1st, 1993, then bought Valis III in April 1995 (oh, *that's* who everyone is), then finally played through the then-unavailable Genesis ones I had seen in K-Mart (back when I didn't have the system 8 years earlier) in 1999. It was confusing and amazing and rather Sailor Moon-before-Sailor Moon when one thinks about it. Thank you for drawing attention to it in this review!

[@hungrygoriya]

It would've made for a good costume, absolutely! And it's interesting that you came at the series from the other end entirely... I hope it didn't feel terrible moving backwards through the games but I also love the Sailor Moon-ness of the whole thing too. I loved that show growing up and it was fun getting back to something that felt like home, at least in theory here!

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

The bounding box here was driving me nuts. I _so badly_ wanted the screen to start scrolling immediately and just keep Yuko locked pretty much in the center - having to move her over _even a little bit_ (around 2/3rds of the way across the screen) to start scrolling seems problematic with these (admittedly great-looking) huge chibi sprites. Especially when you mentioned the skittish speed issues and problems with precision movement. Still, at least the chaos didn't seem frustrating, and I admit, I laughed at the sequence @ 3:37. Something about that particular sequence of pratfalls and misses, topped off with that face-plant, just looked perfect, so maybe it's all working as intended, lol. Awesome review. I did not know this game existed. I actually knew *about* SD Valis because I know they did promotional comics for some other game or project with those designs (like where you got the image seen at 7:01. I've seen that before: vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/valis/images/0/03/1642283-sdvalismanual01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120221223530 ), but I had no idea this cute little brand actually got, like, an actual game release. And one with one of the worst translations ever, it seems! I'm almost certain that "Syd" came from someone simply not knowing what to do with "SD Valis," and they just... tried to turn it into a name? God. I feel bad for Telenet that they had a bunch of goons working on localizing their games for the West back in the day. Thanks for checking out, and showing off, such a bizarre release.

[@hungrygoriya]

I totally agree about centering the character on screen... having that little bit of extra time to react would've gone a long way in making the game feel more manageable at times. And that sequence you mentioned with the face plant was completely candid! I think it's it's pretty impossible to be perfect in that game, though I'm sure there are speedrunners somewhere out there that can do it! And yeah, the image I used there was from the Japanese version's manual. I wanted to share those images so much more since they're in colour and the scan I found online of the English one was not the best quality, but I digress. I'm glad you found out about the North American version though. Hopefully you can give it a try sometime!

[@HybridAngelZero]

Valis is such a wild franchise, bit it's certainly never dull. It's always a series I've wanted to get into, and the prices on this one are surprisingly tame for a retro game. I gotta say, I do have a soft spot in my heart for games from the 80s and 90s that kept their original Japanese art and character names without overlocalizing them

[@hungrygoriya]

I want to play more of the games so badly... they seem like such a great set of games but they're soooo expensive :(

[@HybridAngelZero]

@@hungrygoriya Yeah, that's why I was surprised at this one's comparatively reasonable price xD It may be a series I have to play,as SNES Drunk would say, "any way you can"

[@hungrygoriya]

@@HybridAngelZero For sure! I've thought about emulating a few things here and there but I've got time and lot of other things to play while I wait for a deal at least! Good luck :)

[@HybridAngelZero]

@@hungrygoriya Good luck to you, too!

[@chutton988]

That comic strip is so amusing! Yuko's pudding rage reminds me of the hilarious chibi moods from the anime Dragon Half. And I love her walking to school with that sword! So funny. I used to be Valis fan as a kid and remember when this game came out. I only read about it back then and It's great to finally see it in action. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. I usually get turned off by the chibi style (it repels me from Bravely Default, for example) but I like the look of this one. My favorite SD game is Alex Kidd in Shinobi World. Did you happen to get that particular chibi game in your now legendary SMS haul back in the day? Another quality video. The editing at around 3:40 and the end was well done as always. Nice work and thanks!

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah it's funny that she just has a sword with her in her day-to-day life like that. I thought it was adorable, and it's even nicer in the Japanese version of the manual because it's all in colour. I wish we had more colour manuals here. And you're very welcome! One of these days I definitely want to play the other games in the series if I can find them! I do have Alex Kidd in Shinobi World! I love that game, but I can never seem to beat the final boss. I get there with plenty of lives and get destroyed every time! Some day! And thanks for the kind words! I'm glad the editing is easy to watch for the most part :D The faceplanting angel halo cracked me up a ton!

[@SerAbiotico]

3:29 jumping on cakes

[@MotherKojiro]

As a fan of the Valis series, I'd say that even the Turbo CD version of Valis 2 is my least favorite entry (other than Valis X; we don't talk about Valis X); it's not bad, but doesn't quite stand up to the other games in the series. The versions of 1 and 3 on the Genesis and 4 on the SNES really captivated me, not just as Action titles, but also with their stylish and detailed visuals. Oh, and Vecanti is the world in which the Valis games take place, if you're still wondering.

[@hungrygoriya]

Oh really? That's great to know that I have so much more fun Valis action waiting for me then. I bought Valis 3 on Genesis but haven't gotten around to it just yet.

[@MrSerpico145]

I like this game for some reason.

[@RedAuxPDX]

I liked the cutesy style of this game. Maybe I’m just jealous of her flowing blue locks? Maybe we could just have a fashion show version of this game for a future release! :D thank you for sharing another fun and interesting review.

[@hungrygoriya]

She does have great hair, doesn't she? It's weird that there weren't any other spinoffs for this particular character in the way you've described here. Her costumes were in the spotlight in the manual and everything!

[@guillermos8447]

Great reviews. Love your channel.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Awesome review! I played this in 2002 for the first time and totally remember thinking what is up with these bosses?? That on at 5:22 has no idea what's going on LOL

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks so much! It definitely didn't seem like he was programmed very well at all :D

[@PKInTheUniverse]

Nice Review! I had never heard of this game or the series it belongs to. Based on your description I don’t know that this a game that I would enjoy, but I can definitely can see why others might .I’m sure other people have pointed this out but I like how you use the page turn transition in your videos when it’s focused on the manual , that is a nice touch . Keep up the great work !

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks very much! It's pretty average at best, maybe even a little below average, and there are definitely better games out there to play unless you really like the series or anime-style graphics in games. And thanks about the page turn transitions... I wanted to try something new a few videos ago and just ended up sticking with it going forward. It's nice having something decided before I start! There's a "page peel" too but I don't like it as much.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

Well done! I enjoyed this review a lot.

[@Fattydeposit]

I've always wondered about this game and to have your take on it is a treat. Aaaand on a slightly related note the charming 'face cam' animations this game has reminds me of the last Mega Drive game I really sunk my teeth into: 'Madou Monogatari I'. If you're not familiar with it the recent fan translation up on RHDN is stellar and well worth checking out.

[@hungrygoriya]

I just had a look at what that game is and it looks awesome! Dungeon crawling and turn-based combat is right up my alley. I'll check it out! And thanks for watching :) There wasn't too much out there on this one so I was glad to make a video on this game.

[@Fattydeposit]

@@hungrygoriya Excellent! By the way, the combat is traditionally turn based in the Madou Monogatari games but in the Mega Drive remake it's all active, side on, fighting game style (attacks are all direction / button combos). I hope you enjoy the game half as much as I did.

[@clayton2847]

You play such interesting games. I can't imagine how much legwork it took to find all these gems!

[@hungrygoriya]

I've been casually collecting my whole life but really kicked it up the past decade or so. It's been a passion project, that's for sure!

[@dzeroprime1500]

[@hungrygoriya]

Enjoy them, and thank you :)

[@ihaveallthecoins2785]

Great review. This game is definitely on my list to play soon.

[@hungrygoriya]

I hope you find it enjoyable when you play it! It's short enough to sit down with and take down in a few hours. Probably less, but I take a long time to learn apparently :)

[@UltimaHelz]

Just an additional note the other characters on the box are from the Cosmic Fantasy series on the PC Engine.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you for this tidbit! I had no idea where the other people originally came from!

[@Tramelle]

Pudding-based heroics? Sign me up :3. Would love to see a Landstalker review next!

[@hungrygoriya]

It's on my list of things to play eventually! I love isometric stuff so I'm sure I'll get on well with it.

[@NorrinRaddIITurbo]

Great review HG! This is the only Valis game I haven’t tried yet.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thank you very much! I bet the other ones were amazing... they look so cool, and the music's also a real treat. Most of the music in this game was meh, unfortunately.

[@PragmatikReviews]

I'm a sucker for a cutesy artstyle, but this looks like quite the hurdle to jump. I'm reviewing a famicom game for the first gundam soon, so your feelings on this game feel synonymous with mine. At least on games of this kind of oddity. Thanks for always opening me up to more Sega games!

[@hungrygoriya]

I'll keep an eye out for your video. I love hearing about new games too! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@rickjamesia]

I rented this game as a kid probably 25 years ago. It was super cool back then.

[@hungrygoriya]

I would've definitely enjoyed playing this as a kid too, but would've likely never been able to beat it. Your rental store had cool games!

[@blazr1976]

Awesome review, this one gave me Bonk's Adventure vibes.

[@hungrygoriya]

Thanks so much! I have yet to try out Bonk's Adventure but I'll keep that in mind when I get around to it.

[@chaospoet]

Never heard of this one. I know of Valis 1-3 and I played one of them on Turbografx in the early 90s at a friend's house. I forget which one but it's the one where she falls out of bed in her P.J.s and then transforms into the Valis outfit with sword at the very beginning. I remember liking it a lot but I only thought there were the 3 games. Learn something new every day.

[@hungrygoriya]

I heard that there's a Valis collection coming out for the Switch, but I think it's just the PC Engine versions of those three games. This one's not on it, and it might be English-subtitled? I'm not sure.

[@sirhcman]

I've never been big into the Valis series and never even knew a SD version exited but it looks fun and super cute! Does it offer unlimited continues? Very interesting review! I think I will try to find a copy if the price is right :)

[@hungrygoriya]

Unfortunately it does not offer unlimited continues, so you're stuck getting good. And the back half of the game was really hard to manage. It's a good game to sit down with for a day, but I've heard that Valis III is a million times better.

[@winterland3253]

2:06 I recognize that enemy from somewhere...

[@hungrygoriya]

Someone blew the mystery wide open... it's from bootleg Pokemon games!

[@EKlicKKlacK3]

Hey good review! I havent played this one yet but it's one that I'll pick up eventually. If you havent played the other ones, I highly recommend checking them out. Valis 3 for the SG is probably the best, IMO.

[@hungrygoriya]

I would love to play Valis III. I keep hoping to find a deal, but it's pretty expensive. One day!

[@almaelma11]

This looks interesting as frig and super weird. I want to play it! Lovely video ^^

[@hungrygoriya]

It's definitely a quirky game! I hope you can play through it sometime. It's a short but fun adventure! And thank you! :)

[@phonotical]

the floral enemy reminded me of one from the fantasy zone series, looks like this game might be good as a mobile port?

[@hungrygoriya]

If the controls could be nice and tight, maybe! It's pretty floaty though... it'd depend how it would translate.

[@phonotical]

@@hungrygoriya nooooo, that's how you get them, you die and an ad plays 😂 *evil laughter*

[@TheT3rr0rMask]

Seeing how it took elements of the computer and PC Engine versions of Valis 2 I wish they made a more serious effort. Not that I mind SD spin offs (Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds is great) but they clearly didn't have time to polish up the mechanics or physics. It'd also have been nice to have the three Yuko games, with consistent game and art design, together on the Mega Drive. It has some good presentation, tiny elements of fun when the level design allows, but pretty dissapointing considering the series. We all know Valis isn't where you go for mind blowing game design, but the charm of fun gameplay w/90s anime stylings is what makes the series worth playing.

[@hungrygoriya]

I agree with you! This is the first Valis game I ever played (I haven't finished any of the others yet, but I've dabbled) and it definitely feels like the least polished one. It's cute and has some interesting ideas, but in terms of the execution, it definitely lacks in a few important ways. I know there have been some recent releases of some of the Valis titles by Retrobit on the Genesis as well as some Switch collections, but having the original Valis 2 on the Mega Drive/Genesis would've been a lot nicer as an option.

[@TheGameGrinder]

Great review! Valis is one of those series I still haven't gotten around to trying a game but want to. I didn't really know much one, and some of those translation and advertising choices are pretty odd. The sprites are fun, good 90s chibi anime stuff, but that's not enough to sell me on what really seems like a lazily developed game. Who knows, if and when I finally get around to the series, I'll probably check it out anyways.

[@hungrygoriya]

And you know, despite all its weirdness, like most other games I've been iffy about at first, it clicks after a while. I think the other Valis games are a lot better in terms of story and gameplay, so you might consider starting with those. People keep mentioning that Valis III is the best in the series. I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap copy.

[@TheGameGrinder]

@@hungrygoriya Yeah, it's not often I outright "hate" a game. I'm sure the redeeming qualities of it would stand out to me in the end, and fun sprites are very appealing to me.

[@ajpiskel]

D = Damage, for Attack Power A = Armor for Defense Power Makes sense to me! 😂 What a goofy system.

[@hungrygoriya]

Right? It confused me very, very much!

[@ShinShadoWolf]

Didn't even know about this game. My experience in Genesis games has always been lacking due to my status as a shellshocked Nintendo veteran of the Console Wars.

[@hungrygoriya]

Well, I'm glad I was able to put something new on your radar. I had the same few games growing up and haven't really gotten to dig into console libraries until the last few years, so I hear ya!

[@Wyrdwad]

You want to know why Yuko is referred to as Syd during the game's cutscenes? Simply because the game was called Syd of Valis, and I guess the localizers wanted to justify that name. Except... that name itself is a mistranslation of "SD Valis." ...Yeah, not even kidding. The people in charge of translating this game didn't even know what SD was, so they decided it must be the character's name. Makes all the other mistranslations seem less surprising, when you realize that. ;)

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah, that's unfortunate, haha... you think there might've been someone else overseeing the project that was in the know, but at least it makes for a funny little tidbit. Poor Syd :(

[@anthonywheeler2082]

I have this game, and I like it overall. But everything you said is accurate. The story is incomplete and the controls are all over the place! I'm a big fan of the art style. Anime graphics were pretty rare in the 90's.

[@hungrygoriya]

I did really love the graphics too! I'm glad we're on the same page with everything here :)

[@TanukiKGA]

Wait. Wait, wait wait, wait. That enemy in the first stage that looks like a lizard with a fez is the one they used in one of the millions of Pokemon bootlegs out there. I've always wondered where they stole that from! The large sprites sort of makes it feel like the Mega Man port on the Game Gear, where you had this zoomed in view of the screen. The difference of course is that Mega Man wasn't designed with that in mind, so there are death traps everywhere since you can't see anything. This entire game reminds of something for the Game Gear, in fact. There's just something about those large sprites. I've always known about an SD Valis game, but I've actually never seen it in the wild, so it was really fun to learn some more about it!

[@markasscop]

I knew I've seen that sprite before

[@hungrygoriya]

!!!!!!! You know what? I was saying how I thought that enemy looked familiar, so thank you for wiggling that information into place in my brain! Mystery solved! And I totally know what you mean about the Game Gear feel to it! Have you ever played Psychic World for Game Gear? It has a similar aesthetic to this but is 100% more playable and zoomed out on the Master System. Same idea! Poor Mega Man for Game Gear :( I can only imagine how frustrating it is to play it! Thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad I was able to put a little bit about this game out there!

[@TanukiKGA]

@@hungrygoriya Just glad I could help! :) I have yet to play Psychic World, but it's been on my radar for some while. It's one of those games that I've wanted to add to my Game Gear collection but never truly for a while. But hearing that it's suffers from those problems I might just have to add it to the Master System collection instead. Yes, it's a real shame Mega Man got stuck with the zoomed in view. There are so many enemies that can attack you without you ever seeing them. The game really looks superb, but if you don't know the levels inside and out from the NES, you're not gonna have a good time with it, unfortunatly.

[@Yuuretsu]

Some of the random characters on the cover are from other Telenet games like the Cosmic Fantasy series, but only the second game in that series was ever localized. This game is a really odd duck because it doesn't really add anything to the franchise other than being an SD version of the first game which was also available on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive at the time.

[@Sinn0100]

The TG-16 Super CD ROM ROM format does indeed bring better sound (CD right?) than the Genesis's Yamaha sound chip. However, beyond adding extra storage it is not technically more capable than a Genesis. I can understand why you might think that it does and that is okay, you are not alone. The TG-16 CD ROM does not include any extra hardware like the Sega CD did. This is why you are required to have a System Card to run any game that came out for it. Basically an NEC/Hudson System Card contains the bios for the CD Rom and extra memory depending on the version. Which made the cost of the TG-16 CD ROM ROM quite perplexing. The Sega CD was 100 dollars cheaper all while increasing the Genesis's capabilites.

[@hungrygoriya]

Whatever the technical reasons might be, the TG-CD's version sounds a lot better to my ear. I actually just got my hands on a PC Engine and hope to explore some of that library sometime.

[@Sinn0100]

Have you ever been by Zophar's Domain? There's lots of game music there.

[@Darko1226]

I think the game would have been better if it was zoomed out which would have made the sprites smaller. I know they wanted to show off that they can have big sprites but the gameplay usually suffers because of it.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yeah I agree with you. I got hit by a lot of things coming at me from off screen without any warning, and a broader scope would've helped.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I really like games with big sprites, too bad it ends up being a hinderance for bosses. I have only played Super Valis IV and I would never have known these games were related, other than the name.

[@hungrygoriya]

It's a combination of big sprites and being zoomed in too much I think. Super Valis IV looks awesome. Hopefully I'll find a copy sometime and check it (and the rest of this series) out.

[@RoninCatholic]

D-POW = Damage Power A-POW = Armor Power Just making it clear that those are the words involved would explain a lot.

[@hungrygoriya]

Yep, you're right: it doesn't seem like they cared very much at all. It's far from the best of the best of games I've played, that's for sure. It just makes me want to play the other Valis games even more now.

[@nensondubois]

Movement physics would definitely push me away from this game.

[@hungrygoriya]

It's pretty slippery in some spots.

[@Bloodreign1]

No matter the version, I can't bring myself to like Valis 2 all that much, despite loving the original, as well as 3 and 4. This super deformed version of Valis 2 suffers the worst. Yes the sprites are all cute, but the controls are absolutely awful. For me the only way to see the entire game without frustration is to use the built in invincibility code, but that sucks the challenge right out, but makes the game actually bearable. And for goodness sake, all other Valis games with Yuko in them keep her name intact, but this one they call her Syd, which is absolutely ridiculous.

[@hungrygoriya]

There are some very slippery spots in this game where the platforming was a bit tricky, and getting hammered in the boss fights with very little i-frame advantage was also challenging. I've yet to play the other Valis games, but I look forward to them!

[@PrekiFromPoland]

Just one question - what were they THINKING with re-naming her "Syd"? Also I couldn't get past the second stage with this terrible platforming. On the other hand, I gotta say I like these graphics with chibi characters.

[@hungrygoriya]

Someone mentioned that the game was SD Valis in Japan for "super-deformed", big chibi style, and they apparently thought her name must be Syd while localizing. Seems plausible I guess. One of the items you get gives your character too much speed. In general, she feels way too fast and quite slippery the whole game but you can at least do a lot of correction after you initiate a jump... it's sometimes just not enough.

[@CasperEgas]

Never seen this one. No PAL release I reccon. Doesn't look fantastic...

[@hungrygoriya]

It's not a super great game but it's fun for an afternoon. I'd like to try the original Valis 2.
