The TRUTH About Rocket Knight Adventures Resparked For Nintendo Switch!

[@ModernVintageGamer]

appreciate you .. not deporting me

[@RGT85]

Youre safe. For now.

[@Jokerwolf666]

​@@RGT85😂

[@jacobcordell2882]

Keep up the great work bro

[@8bvg300]

@dylanbanningyeah, I’m up for a physical copy too

[@8bvg300]

I have to say, I thought your accent was Australian. You sound well travelled.

[@billcook4768]

You don’t hear a lot about Kroger on video game channels.

[@gligarguy4010]

You must not watch many gaming channels then

[@ChristopherJRobin]

I'm British. Had to Google it.

[@ultramariox74]

Let go Krogering!

[@dschult3]

Mariano's and Jewel are Krogers. The more you know.

[@RGT85]

Kroger was awesome. They had a massive video game section.

[@michaelboys2602]

I loved Rocket Knight Adventures as a kid. As a kid who also grew up in the 90s, it was one of my favourites.

[@pinto5012]

The power of the Carbon Engine prevented MVG from being deported by RGT 😂

[@barrysmith4610]

Rocket Knight for Smash 6 😁

[@tfee97]

That is actually a very good pick.

[@zeroshadeslayer3000]

I'm down with that

[@Elesthor]

How do the save-states and rewind work? Rocket Knight Adventures was my fav Mega Drive game as a kid.

[@jarvisiglehart]

Lmao 😂The beef between you and MVG is hilarious

[@staat834]

Thanks for the review... this series tends to be overlooked but I played this one to such an extreme degree it trumped the blue hedgehog. Glad to see someone is shining the spotlight on a series that deserves much more love. I still have some of that amped up music in my head to this day.

[@Nightraven1982]

I had the SNES game and i loved it!

[@justinhethcox5730]

The music for the train level alone 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@robzo87]

Rockets Knights is forever my favorite game of all time! I go back to my SEGA occasionally to boot up this classic.

[@lyfeoftaygaming]

They should of thrown the 360 one on there just so we could have them all

[@rafaelvieri2161]

Agreed. It would be the selling point. All the other 3 games are too easy to get.

[@darrielkelly5075]

Was the 360 game bad? I didn't play it, but always thought it was just the first game with better graphics. Guess I was wrong.

[@BeefJerkey]

*should have

[@VOAN]

@@darrielkelly5075 360? That game was also released on PS3 and PC. Heck you could still buy that game on Steam right now. If you own Xbox or PC then you could still play that game on their modern systems but if you own Switch or PS4/PS5 then you will never get to play that game ever again for the rest of your life as you could no longer access the PS3 store and Nintendo never got that game.

[@ClydeJHatbird]

@@darrielkelly5075 Not bad, but super average. It's fun enough on your first play through, but you will never pick it up again after that. Still, I agree with having it. It'd be like if the Battle Network collection from a little while back omitted BN4. ""We know it's trash, but it's our trash. Let us have it."

[@robby024]

Played it at a friend's house one day and never forgot how awesome it was

[@jeromepassmore7625]

Sparkster Genesis maybe missing the energy sword attack, but if you collect the seven hidden swords you can become gold Sparkster. It's like getting Super Sonic.

[@davidarnold8465]

I got Rocket Knight Adventures from the clearance bin at KB Toys back in the day.

[@TerribleLizard]

Same here! Great purchase though!

[@SebastianSkadisson]

Woah, didn't know that Rocket Knight is an opossum!

[@chadmax4087]

Rocket Knight Adventures was one of the first games I ever beat when I was a kid. That and Sonic 2 and 3

[@MAdNFluEnz]

Sparkster: RKA2 is an amazing game, feels different, sure but better IMO. The music was also vastly better. Having the rocket boost always being at the ready without holding down the button was a nice trade off from losing the distance attack, allowed for more intimate combat flow. The SNES Sparkster was extremely poor by comparison.

[@TumoFiji]

Hyped for my LRG Switch copy! Never played the 2nd game on Genesis so that will be fun in addition to the other 2 games.

[@wolfmel26]

I only played the first one with my brother. Brings back good memories. Glad the compilation exists and you think it’s worth picking up. Thanks for the video on it.

[@xIONSHARKIEx]

When is this release at ?

[@g2a5b0e]

Today, 6/11

[@The_Oblivion_Light]

I played this back then with surround sound. It made this game hit hard! One of the best 16 but soundtracks of all time!

[@ncorn0011]

Where can we get this physically?

[@SuperlexPlays]

*Thanks for 35k subscribers..* 🥶

[@sierrakobold6896]

I remember I got a NBA Jam for Xmas of '95 which I already have so brought it back and got this game, once I got my ps1 and N64 my cousin and I gave a lot of our genesis games to our younger cousins, regret that

[@briandrumgold642]

I've always seen this game in video stores but never played it. Just tried it out one of my retro pocket handhelds and its quite fun! Love the music

[@seedofwonder]

Always regretted that I slept on this one. Kind of hyped they finally did this and would love to see them reboot this.

[@andersross4011]

The carbon engine would be a great fit for remastering Space Harrier or Wonderboy in monsterland.

[@Randomark3087]

I loved these games as a kid. I forgot they were being remastered.

[@AP-Design]

Thanks for the review! I am right there with you when I was a kid: I played the first and fell in love with it, but missed the other two. Just watching the other two games elsewhere made me suspect I'd still adore the first one most and your review is only reinforcing that. However it doesn't hurt to have the games there and I'm so glad to know that the re-release was handled with care. Cheers!

[@ZonicMirage]

All things considered, Super Nintendo Sparkster feels like the sequel RKA deserved. I managed to get all three cartridges long ago, though am kinda tempted to download Re-Sparked.

[@silvermane5695]

Dude! I bought this game 30 yrs ago and I still have it in its case with the manual and everything; it was a beautiful and gun game to play. I never got the chance to play the sequel or the SNES version. This was one of the few games that I love from the Sega Genesis catalog, those were good old days.

[@landis7726]

I love rocket knight. I got it in the bargain bin at Walmart as a kid and was delighted it was so good when I got it home. I wanna know what the shirt looks like that you could send out for.

[@andrewjohnson2728]

If they could have modded Sparkster’s sprite from the first game into the other two games, that alone would help me like the sequels a lot more. I realize some new frames of animations would have had to be created for certain scenarios, but it would have been a dream come true for me 😆

[@kurisu7885]

The first level of Sparkster on SNES is freakin epic. In both games it definitely gives the feeling of setting out on an adventure.

[@DamienThimons-rv1wj]

I can't find a physical copy for sale. Was it a limited run only release? They show sold out

[@traviswindham391]

I never played any of the Sparkster games but will when my limited run copy gets to me...... eventually

[@dosjemelosnyrican4462]

Mines 2….soon

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

When I get the eShop points for it, I plan to get RKA: Re-Sparked. It's one of three Konami compilations I've been hoping for, the first one being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and the third being a Tiny Toon Adventures collection that sadly is never going to see the light of day as long as the evil David Zaslav is running Warner Bros.. (I made a whole video rant on that subject and I recommend seeing it.)

[@Franx84]

I recently went to Pigeon Forge Tennessee and there was a Kroger. The SNES Sparkster is the true sequel to the original on the Genesis.

[@elvinortizrosado109]

Is it r release copy or digital and when is out?

[@Element.Nullify]

I loved this game as a kid

[@Cashewcream]

Thank you for this video. I've been humming and ha-ing about buying this game today or waiting for a sale ($45AUD for an old game is a bit steep imo). I had the original RKA and Sparkster back on the day on my Sega Megadrive and I ADORED them both. Yes they are very different games but I loved them both. I never played the SNES version, but seeing you play it and enjoy it so much has made me eager to try it. Honestly I'm still torn as the price is so high. I will try to wait for a sale but I might weaken. I still have the BGM from the second world stuck in my head...

[@G.G.___162]

I just got the Genesis collection on Switch, along with the Genesis emulation expansion for Switch Online a couple of months ago, and I was shocked to see that Rocket Knight Adventures wasn't on either Glad to know this exists now

[@agreedboarart3188]

The whole tangent about deporting your friend back to England was gold 😂

[@brandonmuse5532]

You brought up a simpler time when you rent a game at Kroger. Brings me back

[@daaveed1323]

Been waiting for this for a while. Wish I could have pre ordered the vinyl ost

[@Astrojammer]

I'll pick this up on Steam to support my fellow Brit

[@samuraicollector2903]

I love this compilation games, getting like 4 to 6 games, with lots of bonuses, like the manuals, the boxes, filter options, the next example is the cowabunga collection, so far that is the best collection. I am waiting for this collections Batman (konami games) Tiny toons Castlevania collection 2 (legends, symphony of the night, 64, legacy of darkness, lament of innocence, curse of darkness, rebirth, Dracula x chronicles)

[@juggalo4life247]

Is there a physical release??

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

Man, I was a TG16 guy but my buddy had Genisis and I remember loving this game

[@fightrudyfight5799]

As a kid we had Video Central as out local rent store inside our grocery’s store. They had a SNK multi arcade machine that I always played Samurai Shodown on and then rent out NES games for the week.

[@dragonsigner]

When I was a toddler.. Or at least a young kid. My parents will go into Home Depot or Lowe's.. they had a daycare center My parents would drop me off there..while they were shopping. They had video games setup in the daycare . One of these games was rocket Knight. Loved it . Can't wait to play it again.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I’m looking forward to this collection as I actually own Rocket Knight Adventures for my Mega Drive so I get to play the SNES versions. I hope this gets a physical release for Switch.

[@hooptyhoop7862]

I am getting my copy from LRG soon. I got an email saying my copy is supposed to be at the warehouse by June, around July I will have this sweet, physical cartridge in my possession. Plus been dying to trying these games for so long, now I get my chance.

[@NukeOTron]

SNES Sparkster is good. Just expect to use the shoulder buttons in the music level to avoid any softlocks, and the rewind function on the shoot-em-up boss.

[@J3D1xKN1GHT]

I used to rent NES games from 7 eleven lol so the kroger rental comment really brought back some memories, ah the good old days of gaming.

[@xenomaniac84]

I flipped when I saw this got released. I rented Rocket Knight Adventure all the time from Block Buster when I was a kid. I bought the game a couple years ago at Game Over Video Games here in Austin. I'm 100% buying this compellation.

[@crazyjohnt8012]

This is a step in the right direction but we, as a people, demand a video on the Game Boy MegaMens that came out for Switch Online

[@TPRErik]

Sparkster’s music for level one on the SNES is a real banger.

[@milton8822]

Love when you talk so passionate about a Sega Genesis game

[@brett6239]

Was this on Limited Run?

[@drunkenbuttons606]

Rocket Knight Adventure is still my favorite Genesis game of all time.

[@shinraboss]

I’m so happy about this! This is one of my top favorite genesis games! The soundtrack and story is so good! Can’t wait to play it again

[@byronhines8315]

Remember playing this the first time on the sega channel the worlds first game pass

[@CPTcripp]

#2 was awesome i spent alot time on these 2 games

[@georged7627]

Might have to play the Megadrive Rocket Knight games and see how they differ from the SNES ones 🤘🏼what a time to be alive....By the way our delicacy is Vegemite 😂

[@wheskeraustere5642]

Didn't have the knowledge to know there was a sequel. Or a 2nd one on SNES. Would like a save mode and a classic mode... unlimited continues and game how it's supposed to be og format. Be great.

[@MetalMightGames]

The full title of the 2nd Genesis game was Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2.

[@VOAN]

I had a feeling Konami planned that to be a different game but so to not make the Genesis owners feel like they got ripped off at the time they just slapped the Rocket Knight Adventures 2 label on there so to not alienate them.

[@MetalMightGames]

@@VOAN maybe. The Super Nintendo one was definitely better.

[@ToploadedGaming]

Gonna have to check this out. I’ve had the first one on Genesis for years, and just never took the time to play it. Need to fix that.

[@demonicbrawler3792]

Man i wish we could we could get nba jam tournament edition the one with the cheat code you can use to play as Bill Clinton

[@UnShredded]

I really wanted to like the game, and it took me a good half through it to realize that I just liked the concept of it and its art irl but not the game.

[@Nascent177]

Can it go widescreen?

[@miasuke]

Rocket Knight Adventures is one and done, because the sequels (including the PS3/X360 game) was not made by the same team who made the first game (Spatkster SNES, for example, was made by the team who made Axelay). That why the games feel diferent from the original (the SNES game feels like "RKA Remix").

[@daftgeartv]

Is there a physical release for this game?

[@Lightspeeds]

There is.

[@Hyli4nH3ro]

I loved these games back when I was a kid. I don't think the second one was terrible it definitely wasn't as good as the first though

[@VOAN]

My only complaint is that they didn't include the 2010 reboot Rocket Knight game which is a decent game but would had make this collection feel more complete.

[@HindsightWithHustle]

I hope they make a physical version of this game. I played RKA when I was a kid I plan on buying this on PS5

[@xboxclown8922]

I also grew up with Rocket Knight Adventures. I usually want newer versions of retro games, I knew this one was quite high on my list. A little disappointed this collection not on Xbox. I still need to get Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection soon. I waited probably longer than TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection for this collection no joke. Sadly that's the last one from my childhood I wanted. It's a whole new ball game from here.

[@ejones9106]

I loved sparkster for the snes. Never played the others

[@BWV88]

Not sure why, but when you said boss rush mode it reminded me of a 2d game that had the toughest boss rush mode I used to love. My question to all the game developers is when are they going to port or remake VIEWTIFUL JOE???

[@cats3404]

I loved rocket knight as a kid I’m keen to try it out again on switch

[@john.infinite78]

So grateful to Konami for bringing this out and having the ability to play it in stretched full screen is awesome!!! Never got to play the sequels but they're both amazing games specially the SNES version😊

[@tasseiviews2947]

I only just started playing them yesterday but I totally agree with you. Sparkster genesis has a lot of fluff that drags the pace down. Sparkster snes seems a lot better but still seems a bit more fluffed up and less finetuned in terms of pacing and gameplay. Rocket knight however is amazing, still today even. I never got to play it back in the day, mind you, this is the first time.

[@FireBomberBassist]

I picked Rocket Knight on gens and Sparkster on SNES from KB Toys for $10 each as a kid. I still own them. Some of the best lunch money I ever spent. Sparkster on gens is jank. Played it later on and I feel the same as you.

[@li0nhart4477]

Loved this game as i kid. I played MegaDrive and Snes versions, i think i prefered the Snes version. I'm trying to get this on the SNES. But i will be defo be getting this on the Swtich.

[@pauljennings8432]

You are right Brits do eat beans but they are known as Baked beans! however we have so much different food here too! anyways a good review as I didn't even know this was coming to Switch. 👍

[@TonyKenkerioni]

You're on point about Sparkster on the MD. Couldn't believe my eyes when i inserted it into my system. Mean Machines magazine awarded it with an Okay but i returned it the same day. What a disappointment over the first brilliant game. 😢

[@javierarzaga8485]

Can someone tell RGT, that MVG is Japanese?

[@sirtonymayo1468]

This was the last mega drive game I bought before getting the ps1

[@SuperBrooklynite007]

Oh I can’t wait til Friday to get this

[@Empyre47AT]

Here's to hoping the sold out pre-order of physical copies isn't the only run for physical release.

[@Riz2336]

I preordered this limited run game, I'll probably get it in the mail next year

[@justinbasl3]

Awesome game on the Sega Genesis!

[@47Styx]

I loved Rocket Knight

[@icarusbrown9692]

This was one of my favourite games on my mega drive when I was younger! Glad it's finally getting redone on a modern platform!!

[@bjnt922]

I didn’t have a Sega Genesis so I missed out the first two. But I did have an SNES and Sparkster. Loved it.

[@matttipton6009]

Best boss music I’ve ever heard not just on Genesis but ever!

[@sweepscape]

Never played any of them but they look right up my alley so now I will. Thanks for making the video

[@jimmyju76]

so wait, his name is Sparkster?

[@ridleyrage5283]

Yeah

[@DeathNeff]

I am really glad for the Re sparked Collection, which I got on Steam.
