Yeah, in Japan, Tokusatsu refers to a genre: live action films/shows with lots of flashy special effects that often have high action/energy, such as Super Sentai (the basis for Power Rangers), Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Kaiju (giant monster) films like Gojira (Godzilla).

Vinny should play the newest Oneechambara at some point to be astounded by how that franchise is still going and how the quality has gone up so much.

[@warbossgegguz679]

As I tell people tho, keep in mind that when the first Oneechanbara came out the character-action genre was still barely even a thing. The most that was out were the OG DMC, Baest Gaem!, Castlevania, and Bujingai (and Rising Zan, but nobody remembers that DX). No Ninja Gaiden, GoW, Bayonetta, God Hand, Genji, Okami... So in a cruel irony to those who think the OGs are trash, Onechanbara is actually one of the earliest and longest running Character Action series XD. And Tamsoft has basically become one of the biggest names in the genre between it, Senran Kagura, and their Neptunia colabs. Which after borderline bankruptcy from Toshinden dying is pretty fucking sweet tbh. As said on previous vids in this series, if it's Tamsoft expect OMEGA BOOBAS and/or Fast-Action. They're like Platinum or Team Ninja, but SOMEHOW with even more fanservice to an intentionally comical extreme. From the death of Toshinden to Onechanbara 3 on the 360 being a full-priced AAA game, basically all the work they got were budget titles, port-jobs, and VN/Dating-sims tho, so the fact that this basically brought them back from the grave is one of the more awesome facts about the Simple Series along with Sandlot making EDF because D3 gave devs free reign to do whatever the fuck they wanted as long as the final product was functional enough. Low risk = high creative freedom. That's basically the perfect way to explain the Simple Series in a nutshell imo.

[@_Digishade_]

Now Vin needs to play EDF and Oneechanbara.

I strongly reject anyone badmouthing the gain Body Harvest! imagine growing up during the 90s and getting to play that game the first time! It was your very first experience to play a 3D game that allows you to get in a large variety of vehicles and not only get to drive them around in a huge open world, but allows you to fire weapons while driving around! It was made by a developer whose name was changed from DMA design to Rockstar North. it was very awesome and the time it came out and obviously led to the great GTA series going into 3D GTA 3 onwards!

[@InternationalBoardsOfPigeons]

(checks thumbnail preview) *D3 Publisher logo animation* All is right.

VINNY PLAYED ALL STAR FIGHTERS I CAN DIE IN PEACE NOW

[@reviathan3524]

Ah, Heartbeat Boxing/Love Upper. The only video game with female boxing. It has a cult following, with fans hoping there's a similar boxing game with better mechanics like Fight Night Round 3

[@warbossgegguz679]

The funny thing is, having played them, The Boxing and Fighting games in the Simple Series are perfectly serviceable. It was kind of surprising and even a little impressive tbh. They don't look pretty, but they're mechanically on par with the rest of the genre. If you were dirt poor and wanted a game like Fight Night, UFC, or a trad-fighting game, they're honestly totally valid imo. The animations in All-Star Fighters do look jank, but that's just the nature of a 2D fighting game with 3D models. Everything looks choppy for the sake of speed and frames, but mechanically it all works fine. That's the fun part of actually delving into the simple series yourself rather than just watching Dinty stumble through them. A LOT if the ripping is totally warranted, but there are genuinely a fair amount of diamonds in the rough. Oneechanbara and the EDF games (including the spinoffs like EDF Tactics, Space War Attack, and Space Invaders: Invasion Day) are obviously the two most notable ones, but if you keep in mind that these each sold for

[@warbossgegguz679]

EDF is basically Japanese Serious Sam/Painkiller, which is VERY MUCH a good thing. Not surprising since the few FPS games that have a cult following in Japan are the more arcadey ones (Doom, Quake, Goldeneye, PD, Half-Life to an extent, Halo, etc.). There's even a full MegaWAD by Japanese Doom Mappers (complete with a Hiragana status bar) and a few Doujin Doom-Clones.

The Simple Series sold extremely well (hence the fact that they made over 100 of them on PS2 alone within the space of about four years). When new releases often cost up to 8,000 yen, it's not hard to see why so many people would take the chance on something that only cost 2,000 yen. Earth Defense Force 2 and Onechanbara did especially well.
