Star Wars Rogue Squadron | The Completionist

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

What is your favorite cheat code?

[@HaxenSlash]

Infinite ammo in Resident Evil 2. For Rouge Squadron? TIE Fighter.

[@M0torsagmannen]

GOODGUYTIE or CHICKEN for sure

[@AntsNguy]

Dumping $120+ into microtransactions

[@keybladewieldersofiathefir9315]

Invisabilaty for all games “KILL ME NOW SUCKERS!!!!!” lol 😂 💙💙💙💙💙

[@Lamp-Light_Ministries]

For Rogue Squadron? CHICKEN

[@djblaklite]

WHAT ABOUT THE BUICK V-WING??? you didnt mention the code that turns the V-Wing into a BUICK!!!

[@ericzubyk2329]

But the con is if you pause the game crashes.

[@christianbethel]

Wait, the Buick's in the first game?! I thought it was only in Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike!

[@n64glennplant]

One of the best N64 games, love this so much 😍

[@NatsumiTakanawa]

Yay Glenn Plant!

[@n64glennplant]

Aloha Snack Bar 😬 mahalo 👍

[@wowliker642]

About freaking time Jirard! Now you need to do Rouge Leader and Rebel Strike for the Nintendo Gamecube.

[@frankseward7017]

Yes

[@burnthetrolls5971]

Man Rogue Squadron and Battlefront (original series) those were the best Star Wars games

[@_valstrax_8748]

[@Swapaneezy]

This game was my life when I was younger, still to this day one of my favorite games :D

[@shlokjoshie]

Ditto, really miss those days... I remember I got stuck at the At-At level with the land speeder for a long while.

[@janhammekenbuch142]

Same here... I remember playing a mission, where i needed gold. I ended up recruiting a friend to keep track of the time i could spend on the three sites where i needed to rack up kills, and tell me when to move on. Pretty epic.

[@manguy01]

Rogue Squadron is compatible with the *N64 Expansion Pak,* Jirard. Would help with the graphical issues.

[@peternorcross9885]

could have just played the pc version too...

[@DedricSilva]

@@peternorcross9885 Well as Jirard said to Brad "Shut up!"

[@Kreege]

@Peter Norcross The PC steam version is a buggy mess. I refunded it after 30 minutes. Play it on n64 with an expansion pack.

[@de4thstroke32]

Peter Norcross I have the original disk for PC

[@de4thstroke32]

Kreege I found the disk for PC in my room over 10 years ago and played the hell out of it

[@StarFoxHeroSJ]

Rogue Squadron was my introduction to Star Wars. Probably one of the reasons my favorite character is Wedge Antilles.

You've mostly just mentioned Lucas Arts, when talking about the developers, but a good deal of the development work was done by Factor 5, a German development team! They deserve some more credit. ;)

[@pixlax9037]

yeah it was all factor 5's work

[@Rahhelthethird]

You can't say you completed the game without having the Buick.

[@monarchsub]

ikr where is the space car how dare he not mention the car!

[@babtil]

its a must to have that in the video i was highly disappointed

[@co-optin2021]

Rogue squadron had to be one of my favorite games growing up, This brings back so many awesome memories

[@ruyman90]

I really wish you could complete "skies of arcadia, legends" such an underrated game

[@shughan666]

ruyman90 I love Skies of Arcadia, one of my favorite RPGs even if it can be a pushover difficultywise if you know what you are doing.

[@ruyman90]

Once you know certain moves it can become quite easy but for me it is in the perfect balance from not hard, not easy but never boring. With the legends version for the gamecube they added a lot of secrets and rewards that I could never find them all.

[@manguy01]

I love the ship battles!

[@phenoix1248]

Yes. Do skies of next please.

[@Sil3ntLynx]

God damn it, I love it when Brett interjects in the middle of these videos xD

[@LobsteyDudley]

Rogue Squadron was one of the few games my whole family played and tried to beat together. One of my cousins would play it when she came to visit, too. I remember when she downed an AT-AT for the first time, we all cheered. We played it on PC with a Sidewinder joystick!

[@argenisgarcia5982]

Rouge Squadon where's our cover!?!

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Skywalker! What are you doing?

[@Khorvalar]

Return to base Skywalker! We'll discuss your "tactics" in private...

[@Diovaynes]

22 Gold Medals Earned? Or 19? 22:35

[@josephstanichar5434]

Giovane Marchi Average it out. 21.5 gold medals earned.

[@Brendon_Shepherd]

you mean 20.5

[@josephstanichar5434]

Brendon Shepherd I am not good at math...

[@SOMEGUY7893]

He's not counting the 3 bonus levels.

[@Brendon_Shepherd]

he is there is 16 base lvls and 3 bonus.

[@calebolds9609]

I love this game series. In Number 3 you can play the campaign from Rogue Squadron 2 in a multiplayer mode

[@utinidealer1698]

22:33 "19 golden gold medals earned." Might want to rerecord that buddy

[@tristanjohns5288]

Was a good game and I'm glad it's not forgotten.... But it didn't age well and the sequel was SO MUCH BETTER. I would love to see this game remade or this concept as the flight combat of Star Wars was always more fun to play than other genres on a whole. (Other games in other genres were much better such as KOTR or the 1st Battlefront but not as many in terms of quantity).

[@oKirin-]

I need a Star Wars flight sim for PC in my life. Put my hotas to use.

[@Makocat]

I wouldn't say thatm i controls really well and looks better than most n64 games. And their audio compressor sure was ahead of its time and helped with pokemon stadium. But the sequel was a master piece for a gamecube launch title. And still is one of the best looking third party nintedo gamecube game

[@Shocknfunk]

Yes rogue leader is still a wonderful ride

[@gtabro1337]

Did he play it _solo_ ?

[@janordanu2008]

XD

[@gokusondbz]

gtabro1337 you should be ashamed of yourself for that pun now you want to go home and rethink your life lol.

[@crucifixmegabuster95]

I love the heck out of this game. Still own it.

[@Norrikan]

Way back when my best friend and I must have played that game every waking minute before, during and after the summer vaction, mastering every stage to perfection. Great memories.

[@GameTacoFTW]

Stellar videography, editing, and script in this episode. Good job TOVG crew!

[@benrussell6927]

Holy Scat! Jirard, Thank you My dude. I can't believe your starting my favorite series of all time! Please do Rogue Leader and Rebel strike next. You are the only reason why I still watch KZbin, you're the best! Peace.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

YES! You finally completed Rogue Squadron! This was my favorite N64 game, so I'm super-hyped that you played it! ^_^

[@javierzayas8345]

Would love to see a Rogue Leader Completionist episode. I put so many hours into that game when I got a GameCube.

[@thewarprider9814]

This game still kicks my ass. 'Raid on Sullust' has ended with MANY thrown controllers.

[@EvilEye0]

Fuck Sullust and fuck missile turrets.

[@SoloWing88]

Hey, when you're done with star wars and still want to feel like an Ace, try one of the Ace Combat games. Like the one over your left shoulder, Ace Combat 5: the unsung war. Plenty to dig into

[@coachNewman17]

So glad that you reviewed this game. For all of us there is that one series that defines who we are as a gamer...this is that series for me. Thank you

[@Harri927]

Love this game a lot. I played this game loads of times as a kid, Flying in the X Wing as Luke Skywalker is really living.

[@emibudd2228]

I like how Jirard said “great characters” over prequel footage.

[@EskChan19]

Well there were some. Not in Episode 1, but some characters were pretty good there. Now the new Trilogy though....

[@ccody-long6915]

What are you talking about man? Anakin's thoughts on sand was fascinating and thought provoking

[@RemixedVoice]

EskChan19 Examples? In the new trilogy, I find Kylo and Poe tolerable.

[@EskChan19]

Pretty much everyone but Kylo and Finn. Kylo is okay. Poe is barely passable with a TON of good will. Finn is pretty great. But everyone else? Horrible. Admiral Holdo and Rose for example are just awfull in every way, i'd rather have a movie with just Jar Jar Binks instead of another one in which they make an appereance. The entire rest is just... one-dimensional with no depth at all. Poe is just "the straight forward guy" with nothing else to it. Snoke is just kinda existing for one and a half movies, Rey is the definition of a Mary Sue, and just has zero depth at all, Kylo and Finn are good because at the very least they had some personality and go through growth and evolve, and aren't just "Let's blow it up!" like Poe or "Oh look i can lightsaberfight now! Oh look that super genious, said to have the mightiest potential in the entire universe and who trained all his life for this moment, of course i'll defeat him with a whopping ten seconds of combat experience! Oh look an old ruined starship. I've never been in a starship before, i bet i can make it work even better than Han Solo ever could!" like Rey. But yeah, except for Finn and Kylo all of them are just awfull. Which is a shame because that is the thing Rogue One excelled in. The characters were great. And even the prequel movies had good characters. Except in Episode 1 where everyonebut Qui-Gon was bad too. Darth Maul became a better character in Clone Wars and Rebels, but in Episode 1 he was just "the endboss".

[@emibudd2228]

The Champion of Morrowind I’m sorry I ignored that wonderful and memorable sequence with such apparent disdain. Hearing Anakin talk about sand brings me the simplest of joys.

[@GotCamel]

Dude, your intro is quite possibly the best intro to ANY channel I follow! Shit gets me hyped every time!

[@shadeknight6537]

Rogue Squadron was my childhood when I was a wee lad. I used to be a huge Star Wars fan, though nowadays, I'm more lukewarm toward the franchise. Glad it finally got The Completionist Seal of Approval.

[@jasonbrown467]

this is up there with some of my favorite all time games.

[@JasAcevedo]

man, I used to play this game for entire weekends!

[@DracoBreach]

Man, I remember completing this back in the day!

[@sorbpen]

Whenever i'm sick in bed, i just put on some completionist and roll up a spliff... Time just flows by, listenint to Jirard

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

I was 15 when it came out. Never saw a Star Wars movie, but I loved this game. Nothing more fun than tripping up AT/AT's.

[@adn9527]

Rogue Squadron, a game I have never completed. Now I want to do a play through series on this game and go back and complete it. Thank you Jirard! Love Star Wars, what an amazing video.

[@kaihedgie1747]

+The Completionist Okay, so after finishing the video, I noticed you left out two things: Getting Gold on _every mission_ , including the bonus ones, allows you to to pilot any craft on any missions except the Speeder ones, so for example, you can play Liberation of Gerrad V as the Y-Wing and speed up the mission by disabling the yachts yourself. That's your actual completionist reward for this game. Inputting KOELSCH on the Passcode screen replaces the V-Wing with a Buick, though pausing will crash the game if you're flying it.

[@WoahiFoundNemo]

My older brother adored this game way back in the day and I loved watching him play it. Thanks for bringing back such good memories :')

[@soulsecano]

That spoiler joke made me laugh just because of how often you yell at Alex for spoilers. Great video!

[@Eagerstriker]

Can't wait for you to get to Rouge Leader! That one blew my socks off as a kid and i think it holds up extremely well!

[@omegagilgamesh]

"I am super impressed by how much they were able to cram into this TINY cart'. Don't underestimate seemingly small packages, they can be powerful!" N64 Cartridge: Judge me by my size, do you?

[@kunaldeo9679]

"Some levels have a time requirement, but that wasn't really an issue" *Laughs in raid on sullast* Nice review btw loved it. This game makes me so nostalgic hopefully squadrons will live up to this, fingers crossed.

[@bambammartin1556]

I played so many hours of this game in elementary school. This an shadows of the empire soaked up the majority of my n64 time. Aside from Mario 64, Mario kart, and perfect dark.

[@RaphaelCavallero88]

I use to meet with my friends after school to play this game and get the gold medals. It was so fun. Such great times.

[@darthcaedus5000]

i loved this game and cheat codes for the ships

[@juantobare]

I adored this game back in the day! And flying the Falcon and a TIE fighter felt awesome

[@JessFromMead]

The X-wing and A-wing have missiles The Y-wing has bombs The Snow-speeder has a tow cable And the V-wing goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

[@Straswa]

Nice vid Completionist! I loved this game on the N64. So much fun blowing stuff up with the Y-wing.

[@Rycel2001]

Another awesome addition to the Completionist catalogue, Jirard! Your comment about space sims at the beginning prompts me to beg once more for you to complete TIE Fighter for the PC. This game is notoriously difficult to complete, but I think you are more than up to the challenge. The Collector's CD version is the best (in my opinion) and can be found on Steam and GOG. I would recommend playing with a flight stick and throttle (HOTAS) to get the full effect. Good luck, and may the Force be with you!

[@Darthadios]

You probably didn´t know but that V-wing mission with the World devastators is from Dark empire comic. I never completed this or any Rogue squadron game but I have beaten them all. And Rogue Squadrom 3 was system seller game for the Gamecube, I bought my gamecube only for that game. I had that game before I got the console. You need to also complete the other 2 Rogue squadron games.

[@harrywompa]

that's what I was thinking too (about the last mission), soon as he said that the game was between episodes 4 and 5, I kinda had to think if that was a bonus level or not. I remember as a kid that was so cool, being able to play part of a star wars comic, even if I was too little to be any good at it

[@DarthCaedus7]

The dark empire series is so underrated. Give me badass pregnant Leia and a luke that is useful over Kylo Bitch any day

[@chrissonofpear3657]

Yes, the V-Wing originated in that comic in 1993. After the initially odd art style, I came to like the comic more.

[@Darthadios]

Actually, in the Dark Empire comic rebels have E-wings not V-wings against the world devastators.

[@Phenominal222]

"Star Wars in hotter then ever" *Looks at Episode 8 and Solo reception* *tugs collar*

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Nice to know which games are worthy of a full completion, pretty useful! Thanks!

[@silentangel2259]

With all of these star wars games I've seen from you, I am kind of hoping you do KOTOR 2

[@ThisisKyle]

Gary Correia I hope if he did he would be smart and play it on PC with the Restored Content mod

[@caedgeworth]

So many memories. This is actually the game that I discovered that cheat codes existed. Fun times I remember putting in the cheat code chicken and being able to pilot an AT-AT. It was ecstasy.

[@ikki-gaming8933]

I remember playing this on the N64, drawing the X-Wing, listening to Muse or watching the reruns of Star Wars on TV. I even got all gold medals. I don't think this game aged well, but for it's time it was quite impressive and interesting.

[@nocto6715]

AAAAAH!! Never thought I'd see this one here! loved Rogue Squadron!

[@HyliaBlaze]

One of my all time favorite games for the Nintendo 64! Yes I may have only been 5 or 6 when I could really get a grasp for this game but once I did the memories were endless! My girlfriend just jumped as I yelled in excitement to see this pop up on my home page! :D

[@Claytor22]

WHERES MY COVER?! seriously though i really loved this game and im so glad you got this in finally.

[@blewharvest]

Bonus points for including the old prospector reference from SNL.

[@PuuberZ]

Unlocking the Naboo Starfighter back in the day was mind blowing.

[@Rebornblader]

I'm glad to see this game getting some love. It really is an underrated N64 title.

[@JerginBootwyler]

Ok star wars battlefront 2 had a really bad start I agree, but its come so far now and it is a really enjoyable game now. But I also know a lot of people feel a game should be good from the start not after, but give it a chance, and if it still doesn't suit you then more power to you

[@JudaiMaverick86]

Thanks for this episode Jirard :) this is one of my favorite games of all time :)

[@Steve0C]

Over 10 years after ever playing it I still hear in my nightmares 'Rogue squadron where's our cover?!'

[@TMLCJLK]

This was one of the very few games I played with a completionist mentality when I was a kid, and I didn’t even had the game. I wasted so much money renting this thing...

[@EvilApple567]

Oh man do I have a history with this game. I remember my brother getting this from a flea market in like '02, and I could never trip the AT-ATs so I never got past the fourth mission while my brothers were beating the game. Then a few years later when I was in the fifth grade ('05) I really wanted to beat this game, especially just getting off a Star Fox 64 kick constantly trying to beat my high score that seemed like it went on forever. I don't remember having too much trouble beating the game when I picked it back up, but getting all the gold medals was a different story. "Prisons of Kessel" was an extremely annoying mission for one because you had to wait a certain amount of time before destroying certain buildings for Storm Troopers to run out of them so you could kill them and get the necessary "Enemies Destroyed" criteria met, and there were plenty of things like that throughout many of the missions, however the hardest two criterias to meet for sure were Time and Accuracy across the board. When I finally got all the golds a bit after beating it, I did what I always did as a kid when I put in a bunch of time into a game and replayed the shit out of it. The last time I remember playing it as a kid in the '05-'06 time frame was playing through the entire game in one sitting, and getting gold medals on all the missions first try without any restarting, which I remember taking around two hours total. It felt so good to accomplish that, and I think after that even my child mind knew it was time to move on after completely demolishing the game like that. I played through the game a few years ago, and I could barely complete it (I remember being stuck on Moff Seerdon's Revenge for like an hour), however I think I was playing on an HD TV and that made things much harder with the game's fairly clunky control and not remembering much about it.

[@chrissonofpear3657]

I like to trip the walkers in 'chase' view, switching to it. Even then, I had EXTREME trouble on the Fest mission.

[@maddoggnick96]

I bought my first N64 today, along with this game (and Ready 2 Rumble)! I wanted to see some N64 games, and was happy to see you covered the game I bought.

[@fcrfortes]

First game i ever tried to complete. Amazing. Thank you for this

[@NorsePunk]

I love when Brett chimes in. 🤣

[@SN1PERx64]

Great vid man. Loved the mini-rants. And a good choice before the movie, with Corellia depicted in the game ("it's my hometown after all" - Han Solo). I still remember getting Rogue Squadron after seeing a trailer of the game in my Toys'R'us way back when. I used and abused the Prima strategy guide towards getting the Gold's in all the missions as a kid.

[@RobNoireGaming]

I had this game as a kid (and still have it in my collection complete in box). Even not being a big fan of star wars as a kid, this game was super fun! Definitely worth playing

[@commanderneyo]

If you want more Rouge Squadron I highly recommend reading the old legends X-Wing series, it so god damn great

[@Drakespawn85]

Seconded. One of my all-time favorite pieces of Star Wars, criminally overlooked and thankfully, one of the few works in the franchise that keeps Jedi-antics to an absolute minimum. Ah, the golden days of the early EU, when the writers still appreciated that Jedi were best used sparingly and had severe limits put on their power, before the prequels came and both Jedi presence as well as what they could do escalated so ridiculously that Star Wars now seems to be its own parody by way of a crappy Shonen anime. And before anyone starts with that bullshit, we owe all that to LUCAS, Disney, thankfully, seems to have reversed that stupidity if TLJ and Rebels are anything to go by.

[@commanderneyo]

Drakespawn85 long live the EU

[@Drakespawn85]

Commander Neyo Yes, indeed, it was so artistically done... ;)

[@NeoDMC]

This game made me what I am today...I got this and Golden Eye with my N64 one Christmas. With them I became the kid on the block that everyone came over to play with. Ever since then, my life has been a series of similar power moves. People are sheep, and I am a shepherd. /s

[@MrCashoos]

Rogue Squadron on the N64 is the only game to this day that I have beaten to 100% completion. That game is a gem and it's sequel is even better.

[@metalbroga]

Back in the day, without watched Star Wars and 0 english I got every gold medal on this game, just on trial and error. I love this game, I’ve played it every chance I got. I had few n64 games

[@JediNinjaX1]

YES!!!! I love this game. I have completed on both N64 and on PC!!! WOOOOO!!!

[@austinwilkinson2208]

i remember playing this and attack on naboo on the 64. their were my favorite games as a kid

[@demonic88]

I love you man, I cant believe how much work you do :) true inspiration

[@MissAshley42]

I almost had every gold medal in this game. I only had one left. Then, my N64 collection was stolen. I've since repurchased my missing games, but I've never gone back to this one to finish what I started. There's some really tough stuff here! This game blew me away back in the day. My first thought finishing the second mission was "This is what Star Fox should be!" I know Miyamoto envisions that series as an arcade-style score attack one, but the medal system in _Rogue Squadron_ really helps bridge the gap between free-wheeling missions and focused, performance-rewarding gameplay.

[@lanikmueller9318]

One of my favourite games back when I was a kid

[@nicolassilvia3829]

Before I even watch this I wanna say a hearty hell yeah for this pick. I miss this game so much and I wish they would do another just like it but modern. I still know most of the cheats by heart.

This is one of the few n64 games I completed as a kid, along with Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64 and Yoshi’s Story.

This game means so much to me. It was the first game I got from my Step-dad after my "dad" left my mom.

[@Mish_ioVA]

I CANNOT wait until Rogue Squadron III. It has the most nostlagic theme imo

I played this about the time it came out and loved it. Didn't find out it had an N64 version until about a year ago...

[@EchoFoxtrot21]

I still remember the cheats for The Falcon and Interceptor after all this time. This was my favorite game on the 64.

Best Star wars game of all time. Today I still play today Rouge Leader and Rebel Strike.
