Tenchu: Stealth Assassins Retrospective

[@That1Outlander]

Love seeing tenchu talked about ❤ never stop

[@HattoriStudios]

Check out my game I’m Working on it’s a open world ninja jrpg, currently it’s just me working on it.

[@OdinPerez]

Fantastic video as well as wonderfully contextualized cultural references. Thanks a lot for this content, man!

[@ElPicoleto90]

yes u are purely from the 90s, man i love how we all shared the same sensation. I saw it for 1st time at a friends house, i was the smallest one from the group and i was that annoying little kid of 7 years old who would play Mario and Aladdin with his snes. One day , my friends gathered together to play a game in Javier's house, when i asked "Can i join you guys?" all of them laughed and told me : "Sorry carlitos, this game isnt for you , its for adults " (they were like 10 years old) and i got so angry that Javier's mother invited me too. When i entered the room , all of the guys said, "Ok you can look , but you cant play , stay quiet and dont touch anything" So i took the honor code very seriously and stayed quiet while watching the big guys do their stuff. What i saw that afternoon , changed my mind for videogames for ever. Seeing heads rolling, executions, gore, arm obliterations... I was completely blown away . I insisted so much i couldnt stop speaking so they eventually let me play a little bit and guys that is the best gaming experience i ever had. I had so much fun in those moments, i remember them telling me how to perform different executions, how to use the graplin hook , not to kill innocents, etc... the real good times...

Don't know of any Tenchu fans have noticed, but in Tenchu: Fatal Shadows, the cave mission is a remake of the cave mission from Stealth Assassins, and mission 9 or 10 (can't remember exactly) is a remake of mission 4 from Stealth Assassins

[@nechrol]

I think they remade Cross the Checkpoint in Time of the Assassins too. Or maybe that was Fatal Shadows too.

[@hanba-t3f]

@@nechrol yeah cross the check point is remade in Fatal Shadows, it's one of rins later missions

[@Wolf-BlackCross]

Can we just get a remake already.

[@Lazrael32]

we were!!! but then they made sekiro instead.

[@stiffygames876]

Sadly

[@countpicula]

It would be terrible. They would make it like assassin’s creed. But it would have micro transactions. I just want a pure upscaling if the old games. I would also accept 2 with the glitchy stealth kills fixed and adding back in a sound track as two had the best story other then WoH but removed the sound track to replace it with a loop of “nature sounds”

[@heatrayzvideo3007]

It's called Sekiro

[@Sirfortune881]

​@countpicula I don't think from soft would do that but mabey the publisher would

[@trancendedmindpalace]

Same childhood. Til this day I still love the shinobi and many things "stealth" but Tenchu is my favorite. I later found Anthony Cummins channel where he seperates myth of ninja from reality. This only made me more obsessed in the shinobi.

[@1995yuda]

SAME

[@johksdvc]

One of the very rare instances back in those days when the western release was the definitive version/better version of a title. At least until the versions that expanded on that.

[@seekeroflamps4998]

Bro how are describing my childhood so perfectly you must be about 32

[@thehermit1479]

As someone who attempted to make a video on this game in a similar manner to how you have, I must say this video is really well researched and made! Awesome sources of info, well done :D

[@c0mplex_Ale]

This is so in-depth for a game that's so niche and forgotten nowadays, it makes me really happy to see it get love still because then maybe one day the owners of the IP will figure out there's so much potential to tap into with a modern sequel/reimagining. Amazing work!

[@camrunner6633]

Fav game series of all time

[@whovegas]

Anybody notice how haters are always tryn to transition a playa into the dead phase?

[@_bhp]

this is awesome!!! one of my favorite games, played it so much as a kid

[@reaverofjillsandwiches]

I had a similar 80s TMNT obsession. Still kinda love it for completely different reasons now. This was my first ever ps1 game and my all time favorite game. The soundtrack is amazing and the atmosphere works nicely.

[@theywood2240]

Peak gaming

[@luk3824]

Great video thank you.

[@1995yuda]

Subscribed because of the Ronin Blade video. This video also makes me happy. We practically had the same childhood bro, all the references hit the G spot 😂

[@patbateman69420]

Just saw all three of your videos on Tenchu and they've all been 10/10. Would love to see you complete the series. Fatal Shadows, Z, PSP games, etc.

[@Jsobone]

I absolutely adore this series. 1-3, Fatal shadows and even Tenchu Z. Tenchu 3 is easily my favorite of the series.

[@ManuDunno]

This was in my recommended, great video mate!

[@matttriano]

THANK YOU one of the greatest games of all, perhaps my favorite PS game, brilliantly documented. 1:33:02 the pretans are not breathing fire; they are trying to drink the lakewater along with the humans in middleground but they can't because the water is like fire to them. They are ignoring the god on the left holding his bowl, from whom pretans are getting sustenance. In the back we see gods watching on clouds, less dense than we and the pretans.

[@SupportGamin2024]

the best thing about this besides the story and gameplay was the debug mode

[@Spirosbotos]

I want a remake but with the same exact music

[@ChuckART]

Yo I'm new to the channel and I gotta say, I'm loving the videos!! 624 followers is a crime, my man. Please hang in there, channels like Grimbeard had a smaller following for quite a while, but he stuck it out and he's doing great. Happy to be on board and I hope to see new videos!

[@humanharddrive1]

2:14 - you're missing out if you haven't played thief the dark project. get on it. tenchu 1 and 2 are great but they suffer from being beholden to crippled hardware, wrath of heaven less so. meanwhile thief is flourishing thanks to a modding scene and 25 years of custom maps. unparalled freedom of stealth in some masterpiece missions

[@charaznable8072]

Great content bro keep up the good work.

[@da_001]

Remember FROM SOFTWARE owns the TENCHU ip. so we might get a sequel or remake...

[@neemojenkins881]

Sekiro

[@DaedalusInc.]

Nope, crappy Fatal Shadows was more than enough

[@neemojenkins881]

@@DaedalusInc. What, Fatal Shadows was crappy. But i like kunoicheese

[@cyka_delik9537]

Thumbs up for the Legacy of Kain reference

[@danielwheels9529]

I played the shit outta tenchu 1 and 2 They were perfect at the time

R.I.P Akira Toriyama 😢

[@hanba-t3f]

Mei-oh is a demi god, and behind him is the portal

[@Pecora_Nero]

Would be great if we could get a remastered collection of the first four games

[@ZenithfilmsUK]

1:28:58 you prob didn't mention this for time, but in case you didn't know, In Shinobi Gaisen the decapitation is 'censored' due to CERO age ratings. So as Riki strikes, the camera cuts away to a wall and you see blood splash up it to cover the usual shot of Kataoka's head being removed =)

[@barlazyjj7872]

You showed his name, but didn't mention Sho Kosugi's involvement. Still a great video, I'm just always disappointed when he doesn't get recognized for his work.

[@MiBrCo4177]

Lmao I remember Goo and his bear.

[@whocares9033]

The only true ninja game series I can think of.... Come on FromSoft, give us another god damn Tenchu already!!! (Aragami 2 is a decent replacement for now, plus it's 3 player co-op, but god dammit, yo......)

[@meesteranonymous8177]

Ayyy dios mio

[@oldtoby4062]

Do tenchu z!

[@warehousedave7937]

Tenchu Z was the best

[@Thunder_unit00]

10 mins in and its starting to be off topic

[@BobfishAlmighty]

No, no. You have done well

[@digitolwonder]

Assassin's Creed Shadooooo...no. No.
