Pokepark 2 player here, This is literally one of my favorite Pokemon spinoffs period. An improvement from the first game in every way (and the first game by itself was super fun too), I really hope they bring Pokepark back one day

[@kaikieee]

Not every way, I loved it but the large quantity and variety of minigames in the first was fun, especially with the different Pokémon you could use for them

[@taytonium1908]

i’m glad to see i ain’t the only pokepark fan out there. definitely agree that they should bring it back someday, that’d be a child’shood dream come true

[@stormiestcampfire]

Hi can we get Trozei and Ranger back please John Tendo

[@XxThatGuyOverTherex1]

I had tons of fun with Pokepark. I love Pokemon spin-offs. I have all the Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games.

[@shonkyhonker9347]

I adore both games but I will say there’s some stuff the first does way better. For one the world feels much more interconnected. We get that for the areas in pokepark 2 but not for all of them together. The first has a greater variety if mini games and challenges. The second one is much better at charm and area design with lots of interesting set pieces. The biggest issue with pokepark 2 is definitely that one hole in the back of lakeshore fuck that hole why can’t I see what’s in that hole??!!!

PokéPark 2 is actually a fairly competent and unique action RPG. I know that may sound crazy to those who didn't grow up on it or played it, but it has a lot to offer as a experience beyond it being "Pokémon but you ARE the Pokémon!!". Highly recommend it even if you have little knowledge of the series itself

[@MustacheDLuffy]

It’s got some interesting things going on. Open world Pokémon game, the Collesium in that game allows you to play as any Pokémon in the game

Here's what you're thinking: Just get Scarlet/Violet + The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, there in Blueberry you get the Synchro Machine so you can be able to control one of your favorite Pokémon including Oshawott!

​@@bakes1324 it's not. Pokepark 2 was legitimately a very good game that did a lot of genuinely interesting things that really deserved to be expanded upon, like it's combat. It wasn't like pokepark 1 which was more or less mostly just a mini game collection.

[@lightning_round]

@@bakes1324 nope, also forgot to mention that it felt like a collect-a-thon. Exploring each environment to try to find every Pokemon that you could befriend, and then completing their quests was really enjoyable It’s fine if you didn’t like it though, like I said it’s a very easy game and I think Pokemon fans would get the most out of it

Conduit 2 was a gem with an active online community. It was also the first fps I convinced my mom that "It's rated T for Teen & the enemies aren't people they're aliens" so it was quite special to me but in hindsight the gunplay was unique (alien tech guns). It was like Halo for the wii.

I still believe that Skyward Sword is the best Zelda in terms of story. The gameplay is definitely not everyone's cup of tea though (I personally enjoyed it though). Also Scott being a fan of Back to the Future makes me happy.

[@okagron]

The story is bad though? People confuse the relationship between Zelda and Link as the story, when that's not the story. The story of Skyward Sword is Link going around doing fetch quests while going after Zelda while being pursued by Girahim, that's the actual story and it sucks. Games like Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess had far better stories.

[@earthboundman5]

Scott hit the nail on the head with Mario Sports Mix. I loved the game as a kid, and quite literally this morning I was replaying it and after beating every CPU by 40+ points, I can confirm the game is very simple and repetitive. Super Sluggers, on the other hand, holds up as the 10/10 I remember.

[@jclkaytwo]

super sluggers is worse than sports mix. the motion controls are genuinely dysfunctional despite the entire game hinging on them, and the adventure mode is straight up boring. at least sports mix is _competent_ at achieving what it set out to do.

[@earthboundman5]

@@jclkaytwo calling Super Sluggers story mode boring is so wild when it's the best in the entire Mario Sports series. Running around completing scout missions from each character, unlocking them as you go. Each in these nicely designed puzzle areas themed after the characters. It's peak Mario Sports. Compare that to Sports Mix which the story mode is literally just mercy-ing the CPUs in a glorified tournament. The motion controls work just as well as any other Wii game

7:40 Just wanted to add somwthing quickly to this game, the best fun i had with it was the story mode since the entire bracket isnt just 3D made for the sake of it, but it actually is an explorable map that occasionally opens side options (mostly minigames really) but it allows you to unlock certain costumes and characters (mostly from Final Fantasy) and a cool boss (which has a reskinned version that you fight on harder difficulty but yea). So think of this, for how boring it is at least you get to fight a gigantic Final Fantasy boss by slam dunking on his head (with a space rock)

all i think of wii 2011-2012: kirby games(return to dreamland & the 20th ann collecttion), operation rainstorm games, & pokepark 2

[@Tonjit41]

if scott never ends up getting to playing xenoblade, I still think he should give the series' OSTs a listen because they're seriously incredible and he'd be able to use it in videos. the density of bangers is insane (especially in XC2 imo)

As someone who got a Wii for christmas in 2010, these years are very nostalgic for me. Tons of fond memories playing Skyward Sword, Lego Harry Potter, Kirby's Dream Collection, Skylanders, Epic Mickey, and Rayman Origins.

1:22 Majora Mask e Paper Mario was also released on N64 final year.

It's a shame that the Skyward Sword remaster on the Switch was met with so much controversy because of the price and the amiibo implementation, this was already a very divisive game and it didn't needed more bad marketing, SS has probably the best story out of all Zelda games and also has some of the best dungeons of the franchise, it could've been a great game to play between BOTW and TOTK since both games lacked in those aspects, but I feel like this remaster was heavily ignored

[@user-zw3on4bx2t]

Not by me.

Pokepark 1 so much fun back in the day but I never played 2

[@MustacheDLuffy]

It’s got more going for it. Can play as snivy, tepig and Oshawott and collesium mode is fun for fights

[@lucaraschella5478]

Cap, Mario party 9 is one of my favourites. The story mode: elite. The unlockable stages: elite. The magical feeling of collecting the mini stars: elite. Goated game

[@jomitoh5111]

I actually really want to play Pokepark! Being able to be a pokemon is something i want in the real games. Yellow is still the best pokemon

[@MustacheDLuffy]

You can always play the mystery dungeon games if you want to play as a Pokémon recomend explorers of sky If it’s pokepark 2 might be better than 1

[@0PALUNE_7x]

I didn't expect to learn about back to the future the MUSICAL from Scott the Woz of all sources but here we are

[@shonkyhonker9347]

Pokepark 2 is gods gift to the earth. Pokemons specialist little guy. Nothinv will ever be better than it as it is peak gaming

[@chairforce0ne]

The wait for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was about as agonizing as the wait for the the project rainfall games. 2008 JP to 2010 NA

[@TrevorEricksonEpic]

It brings me so much joy to know that Scotts favorite movie is Back To The Future

[@TheFantasticJoe]

Puts into perspective how much better the final years of the Switch are in comparison.

[@user-zw3on4bx2t]

2011-2012 was one of the videogame periods of all time.

[@danielapirisi6243]

Mario party 9 is ultra underatted

[@U9DATE]

True

[@espurrthestupididiot2405]

POKEPARK 2 LET'S GOOOO WOOOOOOO BABY YEAHHHH MY WONDERS ARE BEYOND. Edit: :(

[@louishelms8562]

My rage goes far BEYOND normal limits! I WONDER if anyone else feels this way!! >:((((((

[@ErikSchuessler]

"This is some shit you don't think about until you bring it up in therapy". Absolute gold lmao.

[@JenrikkuAlt]

idk, I completed PokéPark 2 100% for some reason

[@GlitchanBlack]

Hearing you had fun with Mario Sports Mix is always a good thing. It might not be the most fun Mario sports game, but it's still very fun - heck, I played it more than Mario Kart Wii! That's saying a lot!

[@Aeenjyl]

Agreed.

[@nahyutarightsactivist]

i was waiting for scott the woz skyward sword opinions this is actually my favorite game of all time. no, it’s not perfect at all, but it does so many of the traditional linear zelda things SOOOOO much better than other ones. UGHHHHH the dungeons. the item system. it’s truly a great game if not a perfect one.

[@olivevideogames]

To be fair, Conker’s Bad Fur Day released in the N64s final year, and it was arguably one of the consoles greatest games
