[@AdAce21]

I LOVE Tech Romancer!! One of my favorite games on the Dreamcast. I'm pretty bummed Capcom didn't include it on the fighting collection that's coming out.

[@RevengerPhoenix]

Hopefully with a 3rd collection? There are still some games left for one more collection. Tech Romancer, Final Fight Revenge, Slam Masters 2, Mega Man Power Battle. Even make a deal with Arika for the EX games.

[@AdAce21]

@RevengerPhoenix yeah, I figure they're saving some games for Vol.3

[@Ryuma103desires]

​@@RevengerPhoenix they definitely should bring the ex series to a 3rd collection, that should be the highest priority everything else on that list is good too though

[@RevengerPhoenix]

@@Ryuma103desiresas much as I like dark games like Tech Romancer, those won’t sell the collection. The EX Series would the be most realistic selling point for one last collection. I don’t think they’d get Tatsunoko vs Capcom or Street Fighter X Tekken for that. So only the EX games are the bigger Capcom fighting games to not be in current gen.

[@Ryuma103desires]

​@@RevengerPhoenix yea they definitely need the eye catcher games like how they have cvs1 and 2 for the second collection

[@shinobixa4]

I agree Justin. This game should have been in the Capcom Fighting collection 2.

[@PUG_PAPA]

One of my favorite fighting games ever. I played the hell out of the DC version. Every time they talk about bringing back a dormant franchise im trying to be heard yelling Tech Romancer over all the Darkstalkers etc. Its a shame it didn't make it into the collection, since not enough people even know it exists.

[@digijake1982]

They should call it the Capcom Dreamcast collection, Dreamcast was way ahead of its time.

[@TeutonicKnight-w1j]

If Justin can play this and Marvel Rivals then he can play Def Jam Fight for NY for sure. Even Yipes liked it when he commented on a tournament.

[@CosmicRPG]

Mr Wong discovering more hidden gems of Capcom, in this case is "Tech Romancer". Ps: We need that Parace L Sia boss rage in Arcana Hearts.

[@steezybeatz]

Tech Romancer is the epitome of a hidden gem! I love how the arcade ladder plays out like an anime. Jin from Marvel vs. Capcom is an unlockable character. The mechanics are very similar to Project Justice. Definitely worth a playthrough.

[@randymaramot3076]

Good thing you picked that game! Guess what? Jin and Blodia is there, but only in the Dreamcast exclusive. You can play as him but no Story Mode though.

[@kid-kuma]

This is literally my favorite game ever, I might even be the only one with a combo video even lol

[@rachelespiritu4215]

This was second only to MvC2 to me, back in the Dreamcast era. Such a great game!

[@Warzol]

i'm surprised justin hasn't played this one yet? i was looking for this game so hard when i had a working dreamcast but couldn't find it it. : /

[@xenonim]

This game a lot player play at arcade cabinet during my childhood and it's Japanese version, 25 year ago. Very long nostalgic

[@kid-kuma]

At the peak of her uppercut launcher into the air you can actually jump cancel and continue the combo

[@MrTubeStuck]

Ive seen this once in a random mall arcade when I was young, I thought this was the coolest thing game ever. Finally know the title of the game after all these years

[@chrisre7662]

12:52, well... guess your not getting up from that😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RevengerPhoenix]

This boss is one of the hardest ones I ever fought. But to be fair, I’ve probably played this game less than 10 times in my entire life. So I guess I need to get used to it haha. Also Justin, please play Kenichi for the PS2. Made by Eighting and distributed by Capcom.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Justin would like Kenichi if he never played it before. It will be nice to see in the channel if he wants to get back the "variety fg" side. I have a personal theory that Kenichi, released on 07, even before SF4, convinced Capcom to make a strong partnership with Eighting leading to the creation of TvC, and at last MvC3. That was an interesting period of Capcom's history in the 00's, when they were outsourcing fg projects to smaller but competent studios. Like SF4 was also outsourced to Dimps. (If only the modern Capcom wanted to outsource Darkstalkers to Arc Systems...)

[@RevengerPhoenix]

@@carlosaugusto9821 Capcom didnt even make a fighting game by themselves until Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. When they got back with SF4, they were still partially outsourcing to both Eighting (TvC, MVC3), and Dimps (SF4, SFV, SFxT). And the 00s they even got Arc Sys for Sengoku Basará X. It’s weird they just didn’t wanna touch a fighting game for over 10 years. I think Capcom Fighting Jam was their last fully made fighting game, until they got back with MVCI and SF6.

[@JLP84_]

Nah man! Capcom really needs to put this game in the new collection. It truly is a gem. Think of a new age Cyber Bots.

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

The rumors are that Shoji Kawamori (designer of Macross fame and many others) designed the mechs for Tech Romancer and owns partial rights to them, and that's why this game has never seen a re-release (or the designs used anywhere else, save Jin/Blodia who existed before this game). I really hope we get a fighting collection vol. 3 that can work out rights issues (since Capcom lately has been working hard with Disney and SNK for their collections). This game is such a gem and would love it to see a resurgence

[@PaptimusPrime]

It's a fun game using giant robots to juggle and do flashy combos to your opponent. Capcom really liked to experiment back in the day. Lots of famous seiyū in this game. Pilot of Gourai is voiced by Shūichi Ikeda (Char Aznable), along with Ryusei Nakao (Freeza) Shigeru Nakahara (Android 17) and many more which made the game more interesting to play.

[@jamiewebb74]

That end boss has some crazy Aladdin sneakers

[@isaiahhellems7901]

A lot of the people that were involved in this actually are old mecca show designers and fans who worked at Capcom

[@afrojhonsen7400]

Absolutely! Main mecha designer was Shoji Kawamori, most known for working on the Macross series, but has also worked on many other series (Escaflowne, Aquarion, Armored Core, Diaclone (basis for Transformers), etc). Also, each of the mech are designed to share similarities with famous mecha or styles of mecha from various anime. i.e. - Diana 17 (J.wong's main) - S.moon influences and very similar to the Nobel Gundam (but also, Aphrodite A and Diana A from Mazinger) - Dixen (the one j.wong said look like an old school transformers) - Homage to the og RX-78-2 gundam and imo the Nu gundam - G. Kaiser (game protag) - Inspired by Mazinger, Great mazinger etc. - Some other references include: Macross, Getter Robo, Evangelion, Ultraman, and Blodia / Jin Saotome from MVC2 - I mean Cyberbots.

[@mesqueunclub75]

OMG!!! One of favorite fighting games of all time! Rafaga and Blodia my favorites. Every aspect of this game was top notch.

[@MmmUbePandan]

i legit never actually saw gameplay of this until now. i love the super robot theme it's got going!

[@Comrade-Broski]

Im genuinely suprised you never played this. I know its not the most well-known, but anyone that was into Capcom new about this. This, Cannon Spike, the Spawn game and Project Justice were the holy grail of arcade games that (at least in my circle) were the GOATS of the era

[@Mingodough]

Canon spike was made by psikyo i think. They were just given the license

[@aryudsoh]

Tech Romancer was phenomenal. I remember it having a fun story mode too which was rare back in those days. Dad disappointed that it wasn't announced for the upcoming collection but maybe it will be in the next one? Would love them to do a sequel to this one. It always had so much potential.

[@Cloudcolin]

12:46 Miracle Impact! "Tell me I get up, Tell me I get..." *Diana's Mech Exploded*

[@Wolfedge75]

I saw this game in an arcade back when I was a small child, and it was the first instance of seeing a game in an arcade and _falling in love._ As an aside... Off-brand Super Robot Wars should not have been this _awesome._ There's something about mecha fighters that just appeals to the inner kid in all of us, doesn't it?

[@tedmoise1398]

G Kaiser either sounds like Jim Saotome or Batsu. His screams are giving flashbacks to my childhood/adolescence

[@LordRaptor]

This has the same announcer of Alpha 3?! that's so cool!

[@phychmasher]

FACE IT STRAIGHT!

[@heroictragedy]

hold block, press forward forward to do the guard break, then press all 4 attacks to do Final Smash. that's what I have in my memory banks for this game

[@angriestangryartist8898]

They should release the DC version in a collection.

[@OmegaRedEX]

Super Robot Wars fighting game with serial numbers filed off. Genius on Capcom’s part.

[@ger3rdstrike]

What beautiful memories I have of my Dreamcast with this excellent game, very good. I loved it.❤

[@cireratnacla993]

This game reminds me of Psychic Force 2012 with all the side stepping.. then again, this game came out just around the same time Psychic Force 2012 did.

[@T.xvii.17]

saw this in only one arcade back in 99. there were a couple of guys who played well. when the arcade renovated they removed the cabinet

[@TheUltimateGamer23]

Yay new videos thenks a ton justin wong

[@jahithber1430]

In my experience CAPCOM always makes solid and quality games ever since the NES era. Every time I see the CAPCOM logo I know the game will be great or a hidden gem.

[@vf1jpv]

Played Techromancer on both in the arcade and Dreamcast. Getting the Legendary Hero rank was worth it in the hardest level/setting in Hero Challenge.

[@mrangryface]

YES! Thank you for this video. This was my favorite videogame on Dreamcast!

[@mrangryface]

also Wiseduck was my main

[@walther_brock7214]

Damn. This was my childhood. Thanks for the memory refresh.

[@tenoki]

It sounds like Justin found the Hawk Tuah move. I cannot unhear it.

[@maybetoby]

I love that Blodia is in this game. 15:03 it's an off-brand Gundam lol My wishlist for Capcom Fighting Collection 3: Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition Rival Schools Star Gladiator Tech Romancer Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha Street Fighter EX2 Plus Street Fighter EX3

[@Flounderboy15]

It feels jank if you play it like a regular fighting game. It's all of the mechanics and character variety that makes this game a gem

[@FullmetalRoccia]

Mai sentito, che sorpresa caro Justin. Sembra molto valido!

[@tarbis]

I missed this game. I play Diana 17 too. Her combos are pretty good if you can link them. This needs a sequel or remake.

[@Blazing_Drako]

They could be saving Tcho Romancer for a Capcom Fighting Collection 3 , most likely. I really hope that’s the case cause I want to try this game too! It looks super fun! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jesseperez2531]

I remember this game! I used to play it at a place called peter piper pizza when my mom used to take us. Was the 1st arcade fighter for me to try. That and Rival schools!. I got pretty decent at the game I wanna say but that was only based on the other people i would play against. Fun times!

[@Kaptastr0phe]

oh shit Justin finally discovered Tech Romancer

[@jamman7344]

I think Fighting Collection 3 will have this and Star Gladiator. It amazes me that fighting collection one was just all dark stalkers. They should have just named that night saviors collection or something.😂

[@ChewyLocos210]

Looks like King of the Monsters but with Megazords. Dreamcast had a lot of hidden gems.

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

5:51. I straight up thought that was Optimus Prime.

[@jamaalwalker4140]

Justin discovered Tech Romancer? Excellent!

[@PhyA52]

I've been asking for this game to be added since the collection was announced.

[@gerrickslaughter3965]

Wow someone finally found it 😂

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

This will probably be in a fighting collection 3 alongside the Saturday night slammasters games and Street fighter X Tekken.

[@rlam905]

They had this at my arcade back in the day. Loved it.

[@bombout80atanz74]

I choose rags since has 3 mode..flying..mid air dan ground just tap up2 time as I remember..dan deal massive damage at close range..has 3 type super depend on mode..use the dash crush and press 4 button..

[@bombout80atanz74]

Rafaga

[@DomFortress]

It's an absolute sin that Capcom hasn't released this since Dreamcast, even MvC2 got a revival after those licensing issues. This is all Capcom's own IP no less, while we're in a middle of mecha games revival.

[@residentrump3271]

Played this game all the time until my Dreamcast died. *SOOOOOOO* underrated! 👍🏿

[@learnt2love]

a pleasure as always jw

[@SPac316]

Capcom should re-release this in a Fighting Collection!

[@thesavingmenslivesnetwork]

I'd love to see Justin play Virtual On. I think he'd like it!

[@jorrellds6520]

0:58 Word bro. Word.

[@BatriaYourDad]

Would be cool to have a third fighting collection with this, Star Gladiator, Rival Schools and Cannon spike... Just sayin

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

I remember this game back on the Sega Dreamcast this was the game.

[@benadrylthundercrotch7144]

I'm so unreasonably sad this isn't gonna be on Collection 2 for no apparent reason.

[@JackgarPrime]

Awwww yeah, I love Tech Romancer. This needs to be in one of their collections, BAD.

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

Any of these guys could have been in the MvC series. Especially the later ones

[@xprincesorax3286]

Love this game omg this should have been in the collection

[@aaronko3480]

Would be nice to include this as paid dlc, unless there’s a fighting collection 3 coming somewhere down the road. What else would be in it though?

[@ryanhartmanisgreat]

I forgot about this game, i used to love it

[@WarrenGdog28]

Justin have u heard about Knock off Master of Imagination its a Fighting Game based off our Childhood Toys like He Man and others coming 2025

[@Takun18]

"If Capcom made Virtual-On"

[@aldoresendiz3]

I play this on the Dreamcast, the best fighting game console.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

It's interesting that somehow the mecha theme disappeared in the fg genre. In the 90's the game market and culture were so different and creativity was strongly promoted... so we got to see things like Cyberbots inspired by the mecha hype, and of course the own Gundam fgs. But it looked like the mecha fg appeal died in the 00's as a lot of other fgs died. Still the fact is that handling these kind of robots is much easier with 3d technology than sprites. So just when the technology became more favorable to make those games, everyone lost interest in the idea.

[@quez2564]

So many of these games (mostly on Saturn) never got released outside Japan; WTF Sega

[@chel8282]

The memory 😳

[@HeroicJei]

I feel the spirit of Evil Zone in this one

[@alopez45714]

Never heard of it before but now I'm interested

[@memowill2000]

Hey Justin, I guess there's a way to unlock a Mecha-akuma or Bloodia maybe I might be wrong. GG.

[@CB-pf5lb]

12:14 Top 10 Anime Plot Twists

[@NoneTheAneh]

This knock off game have everything from Giant Robo, Voltron, Ultraman, Eva and even a Majou Shojo! Please bring it back, Capcom!

[@datguy5818]

Id never plwyed that b4 but defo will do in the near future.

[@VashTyphoon]

I love this game, I have it in original for Dreamcast in Japanese and American 👌👌

[@mrfmmobile9700]

Try out hidden Characters ! Jin and his robot are inside

[@CodeVenomSnakes]

Tech romancer was the best fighting game with mech.

[@kozmow2683]

All i want is a new bloody roar game and one piece fighting game like fighter z

[@hotzauhse]

Why this looks like Rival Schools? Not that im complaining tho 🤷🏻

[@carlosaugusto9821]

From the unforgettable creative era of Capcom in the 90's, when they were into experiments and growing their pool of games, including getting into the 3d fg market. It didn't work out in the end, not even with some better games like Rival Schools/Project Justice... but the attempts were important for them and for us. Also Capcom just stopped caring about fgs overall in the 00's, but they probably had chances of making a solid 3d fg if they were serious about it. I don't believe Capcom's devs are like fated to failure in 3d fgs or anything like that and will never catch up to the gameplay quality of TK, VF, SC, etc. It's just that Capcom gave up that desire after the 00's.

[@JadenHybrid]

So...this was a Cyberbots sequel?

[@rickyrivera7991]

hold guard then forward forward

[@JamesPero-u1c]

I gotta play this game, they have a discont mazinger z , already found my main

[@michel0dy]

OMG it's Alpha 3's annoucer heyy

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Haven't seen this in ages

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

Capcom should of removed Capcom Fighting Evolution and put this game in.

[@burntguy3045]

Ooh tech romancer!

[@kenren8773]

Wow this is like virtual on

[@OwenEsparza-s8v]
