😡 The Simpsons Arcade 2 - The Awful Lost Sequel...😡

[@pantheonvideo]

There was a Simpsons Arcade machine at a local department store when i was a kid. My mom once made the questionable decision to leave me with a dude who legit looked like Comic Book Guy who was playing the game while she shopped. He had a giant jug of quarters that he shared with me and we made it to the end of the game together. He was my hero that day.

I feel very lucky to have been a pre-teen/teen/young adult throughout the best years of the Simpsons. Like all parents, my mom initially didn’t want me watching the show because of the subversive hysteria, but not only was a lot of it baseless, it’s proven to have stronger moral ground than shows people claim to remember from their youth. I’ve really appreciated the comprehensive commentary tracks included on the seasonal Simpsons DVDs that have kept me collecting them long past the time I watched them, because even the worst seasons have interesting stories behind their development. I only wish they kept making them, as I don’t trust completely digital media given the ease of removal, as you rightly pointed out (and has been proven with the removal of the Michael Jackson episode Stark Raving Dad, which I do not agree with regardless of the documentary’s veracity or lack thereof). I wish there was a comprehensive collection of the Tracy Ullman era shorts (or even if the Tracy Ullman Show itself; it’s a show I found in syndication that I initially watched for the Simpsons shorts but grew to love on its own). Even if the Simpsons has long been terrible more than it’s been great , no amount of terrible seasons can undo the greatness of the Simpsons at its best (and I personally include the Ullman shorts and seasons 1-2).

[@KasumiKenshirou]

My parents had no problem letting me watch the show, but one of my friends wasn't allowed to watch the show and his parents made him watch The Cosby Show instead because it was more wholesome! (This was during that brief period of time when The Simpsons was on Thursday nights rather than Sunday.) I agree with you about "Stark Raving Dad". There were already rumors about Michael Jackson before that episode even aired. I remember seeing the commercials* for this episode and wondering why they would want MJ to guest star in their show. The kids at school didn't like Michael Jackson anymore by the time this episode came out. The kids at the time would also make fun of the fact that in the episode 10 year old Bart was left alone in his bedroom with a guy who thought he was Michael Jackson. They really need to just unban that episode, since we now know that Simpsons creator Matt Groening had teenage girls massaging his feet on Jeffrey Epstein's jet. (Or they should ban every Simpsons episode except for "A Star is Burns", the crossover with The Critic that Groening demanded his name be removed from.) * I also remember the commercial saying something like "The Simpsons meet a white guy who thinks he's Michael Jackson!" I asked my older brother why they had specified "a white guy" and he explained to me how Michael Jackson had once been a black man.

[@chrisbg99]

You can tell when the show started to be more establishment in how it treated celebrities. For the early times the show used celebrities well. If the celebrity played themselves they were used for a few gags here or there or the celebrity played an original character. While I think that that is still true it is just as common to have a celebrity be the center of an episode with level of reverence the show used to make fun of.

I still have this game on an old iPod touch however even though it is installed; it won't work when I try to play it. I understand somewhat if we have something purchased but not downloaded onto our device not being available because it was delisted but it definitely doesn't feel right when you have it installed on your device. Anyways, the only thing awful about this game in my opinion is that it is not a remake or port of the original. However, on its own merits or if there was no Simpsons Arcade game to compare it to, I'd like to think it would be overall better received. It's disappointing that it is only 1 player and you can only be Homer but considering this was made by EA, it's a minor miracle that it wasn't anchored down with microtransactions. I miss the days where you can purchase a game and you..actually get all of it, just like that. There may not be a slew of replay value but everything this game does; in terms of graphics, gameplay, sound and control is very good. As a beat-em up, it's pretty standard fare but as you mentioned, Homer has a respectable amount of attacks beyond just punches, kicks & jumping. The auto scrolling levels are weak compared to the side scrolling ones but I'll give credit for varying up the gameplay. While it may be unfair to compare since the actual arcade game came out in 1991 and this in 2009, at least this game includes more recognizable characters to both interact with and beat up. The original arcade had you facing well drawn but unknown characters with no history or ties to the show. If this game came out within the last few years, I can only imagine what EA would have done with it as all their mobile games now are little more than microtransaction gacha apps with broken gameplay and some of the worst, unresponsive controls imaginable. To call this game awful I think is a reach but this is just my opinion. Your videos are always a delight to watch so thank you for all the awesome content you provide us with.

The writing of the show have on the other hand improved quite a bit since those dark years after season 15ish, here in Latin America there was another crippling blow to the show that was when most of the boys actors especially the main family who were truly iconic and had great performers (that made the jokes even better than the originals in my point of view) we're all replaced by cheap imitators, most of us so of that as the end of the show and what went on were just that lifeless corpse dragging on.

What are your opinions on the politically correct voice changes since 2020?

[@jayrob3045]

I will never understand why they couldn't have made The Simpsons Arcade game for Snes. What a missed opportunity.

[@willdiesel8431]

There were better Simpson's games on the SNES.

@@willdiesel8431 like what?

[@mr.business2922]

Acclaim had all console rights, Konami was left to work with arcade and some computer consoles

[@willdiesel8431]

@@jayrob3045 Virtual Bart and Bart's Nightmare are better than a watered down version of the Arcade Game on Super NES. Trust me. I played the Arcade Game on PC and a hypothetical Super NES port would be terribly bad.

[@JeremyPeeples]

It's a shame iOS emulation isn't much of a thing - that would help game preservation for things like this and WrestleFest, which was at least in the works on the 360 and maybe we'll get an unofficial Goldeneye 007 remake-style release later.

Big Daddy, how about doing a video on Nickelodeon All Star Brawl. But you can wait until the DLC content comes barreling in. But you can also do a retrospective on the Kart Racers games.

I remember playing this on my cousin's phone as a kid. I thought it was alright. Though I was also 12 so.

[@yusukeelric]

I do remember another phone simpsons arcade game, but it was for smaller phones and i think it was a completely different game from this, I don't remember the auto scroller level. Or that the enemies looked like that.

[@179107199999]

Never watched it but loved the Arcade game. Great Game great Arcade times

[@chrisdryer]

I dunno. It doesn't look too bad.

[@Mankey619]

I really do miss the old Simpsons. Looking at the Konami Simpsons game,makes me wanna play it. So I could relieve the nostalgia of the series.

[@spenserbeckerszs]

Oh this game?! Yes this was for mobile phones. We are talking like iPhone 3G timeline here. I remember this app was trying to play itself off as a port of the original arcade game but it wasn’t at all. Just a botched version. The odd thing is that both the original Simpsons arcade & the X-Men arcade game were both Konami & around the same time as this game was on the phones, an arcade perfect port of X-Men was also available.. I don’t understand why the difference? Was it kid ending with Matt Groening?

[@ItsMattyYo]

Part of me wants the Simpsons to go on as long as possible. It’s truly the last lingering thread of my childhood. But I’m well aware of what’s it become and the decline in quality. I hope when they finally do end it, that they do it on a solid number like 35 or 40 and not 37 or 41 lol

[@TexasHollowEarth]

? You didn't like the 138th Episode Spectacular?! 😂

[@sailorsonicdiva]

I did remember playing and having fun playing the Simpsons arcade game 🕹 it my favorite classic game ever and I am a huge simpsons fan

[@paxhumana2015]

The cow stampede thing is clearly an homage to another completely unrelated Konami classic multiplayer game that is called Sunset Riders.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

You would think that the Simpsons and Matt groening should do with the Simpsons video game. And go with what Trey Parker and Matt Stone is doing with South Park games. But I forgot EA's involved. Loot boxes and micro transactions with player services and accomplishments.. And going mobile.. Go away EA nobody likes you anymore.

[@enigmastewart9712]

That South Park driving game was crazy 🤣

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Yes South Park did have some clunkers.. But south Park the Stick of Truth and the fractured but whole. Pretty awesome games.. wondering if the Simpsons will come out with better games. But now that I think about it. Now that Disney owns 20th century Fox.. Would that be a factor.. Does Disney own The Simpsons? I don't think the headlines clarified that. A few years ago.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

I need to fact check that..

[@GatCat]

I played the first game a lot. Did the sketch ever make it off the Tracey Ullman show?

[@josealmeida2842]

I remember seeing massive protests in South America (Bolivia I think) to put the Simpsons back on the air when it was taken off the airwaves.
