"WHAT DIGIMON ARE YOU GONNA PLAY WITH, HUH!?!?" is ingrained in my brain I played this so much as a kid.

[@Wayneisboss]

COME ON, WHICH ONE? PICK YOUR FAVORITE DIGIMON

[@FauxRetro]

@@Wayneisboss The crunchy audio quality is just 🤌

DIGIMON RUMBLE ARRREENNAAAA!

[@DigimontamerB]

Oh hell yeah

[@gatekeeper7211]

Clearly i'm gonna play Guilmon until I unlock Black Agumon.

[@WizBiz709]

I used to love this game as a kid!

[@Wayneisboss]

I can see why! I feel like I was kinda hard on the game in this video but honestly I bet I would have been hooked ok this if I grew up with it!

[@carsandsports123]

​@Wayneisboss I grew up on rumble area 2 and I loved that one

[@normansmith7481]

same. played TF outta it as a kid. Plus we played games for fun and did goofy stuff. We didn't play rigid as kids. I remember abusing the WarGreymon tornado going up and down for that MASSIVE DAMAGE lol. Subbed

[@bluetorpido5929]

GREAT TORNADO! GREAT TORNADO! GREAT TORNADO! GR-GREAT TORNADO! 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️ ....The screen is now my domain

[@jumpysniper]

I'm definitely interested in seeing the sequels to this game

[@GT-Rev]

I still have Rumble Arena 2. There are TONS of improvements made over the original, and I'm able to have fun with it in its own stupid way. They did remove the humans but digivolving isn't a pace breaker. The sequel truly does fix a lot of the issues with the original.

[@lenewtype]

@@GT-Rev It's been like 14 years since I played it, but iirc you could also digivolve multiple times in 2?

[@GT-Rev]

@@lenewtype that is correct! Each stage 3 digimon (child level) gets to digivolve twice! Once to stage 4 (champion/adult), and then again to either 5 or 6, whatever their last stage in the anime is. And if you lose a life, you return to the previous stage.

[@Actar_Raikit]

@@GT-Rev On the contrary. I used to play the sequel quite a bit but never liked it as much as the original. Having to collect those eggs to evolve really ruined the pacing and fun of the battles for me. Like, my friends and I would be really involved in fighting, and then one or both of us would just stop to go around the stage collecting eggs. Losing a life and dropping an evolution stage was also supremely frustrating, especially after running all over the stage and trying to collect those darn eggs. Instead of jumping into the fighting, those of us who were near losing a life would just try to camp somewhere safe or run away. Urgh. The gameplay did not encourage fast and furious fighting like the original did.

[@diamonshade7484]

​@@lenewtypeyes

[@Lupirio23]

Here I was like; "Yeah it's a shame there's no Angewomon, she's definitely iconic but being you'd be going from a Champion into an Ultimate does not seem like a worthy power spike compared to the rest of the cast going from Rookie into Mega, so I feel it makes sense." Then I saw Stingmon...

[@randonBtuna]

That Terra force just NUKED him

[@Wayneisboss]

Bro never stood a chance

[@GiggityNinja]

Absolutely loved this game as a kid, but my definite favorite part is Guilmon's triangle attack/special melee move. "Rock Breaker." It sounds like he says "Butt Licker" and that alone made me spam the move religiously. Makes it all the better now with the Steve Blum/Spike Spiegel meme association

[@21lizra]

There's just something about Digimon. There's no other franchise for me where the jank is truly part of the charm. I see what you're saying about it being incredibly unbalanced and the extra mechanics don't really feel like they fit in a smash clone. But stuff like that is what keeps me coming back to Digimon. The stakes have always been low enough that they just try stuff! Sure, they don't get it right very often, but they always spark my imagination. What would a brawler with all these extra mechanics look like if it was fully smoothed out? Could be incredible. I love that I can always count on it to throw me a curve ball 😂

[@blackops9696]

I remember this game fondly. The PS1 was my first ever console, and Digimon Rumble Arena was one of my first games I got for myself. (The PS1 was my older sister's console, but we shared it and DRA was one of the few games I owned for myself). I played it all the time with my dad as a kid.

[@GymLeaderEd]

Hey Digimon, hey Digimon, monster friends for the boys and girls 🎶

[@jujusirenn]

I was obsessed with Digimon Rumble Arena 1 and 2 as a kid, I was unbeatable 😂 used to make my friends play it whenever they were round at my house haha. My go to was Veemon.

[@Hellcat287287]

In RA1 Renamon was OP AF. I'd always play her. Could go through single player on hard without digivolving.

[@TheCovetedPrince]

I HAD to play as Impmon. I had to.

[@RedGalbot]

Rumble Arena Hype! Was so excited when you mentioned you would be looking at it! Before finishing the video I assume it's not nearly as good as I remember, but I absolutely loved it as a kid.

[@Wayneisboss]

I think there's a quality here that exceeds the sum of its parts. While not all the pieces quite click, there's heart and I'll be popping this back in my PlayStation down the road for that reason alone

[@CallofDutyBlackOps28]

the shame of it all is that critics cept bashing on this game and i loved every minute of it.

[@yuribacon]

"Simple as Smash's controls are, they do offer a certain level of variety, where pressing down while using your attack buttons or even being airborne while doing so will change the resulting attack. Not so much the case here. The basics of the combat pretty much boil down to spamming the Square button and on occasion you can spice things up with a special attack. Somebody out there right now really wants to tell me all about just how in depth this combat actually is, but if they have to explain that depth to me because the game itself didn't put it on display... I think that's saying something." Yet, that's exactly how the Square button attacks work. Press square, get a 3 hit jab combo. Hold up and press square, get a launcher. Jump forward and press square, you get a forward air. You know, like Smash? I won't disagree that the game could perhaps do with some tutorials (but I'd tangentially argue that Street Fighter 2 was wildly successful without any despite having more complex controls), and this not holding true for the special buttons is a fair criticism, but even still you're being reductive about the game's mechanics and overly dismissive about the game's depth. Sure, the game isn't *that* deep or nothing, but there is still stuff of value here (have you ever seen any other game with the controls and stages of a platform fighter and the life bars and hitstun mechanics of a 2D fighter? I'd love to know if you have, 'cause I haven't), especially when playing against other people rather than just the computers. It seems to me your problem with the game stems more from the lack luster AI opponents than the game's mechanics, finding no reason to explore them or their depth any further than the bare minimum needed to finish arcade mode (which is honestly fair, I often do the same to turn based RPG games, but blaming the game mechanics instead of the AI or your own gameplay habits isn't). It honestly feels like you reviewed this game out of a perceived obligation as a Digimon fan more than anything else.

[@snakexpert552]

Rumble Area and World 2 were my absolute favorites as a kid. Can't wait for the next vid

[@matttime7575]

I played this game after i was reunited with my mom and i still see this game as the peak of my childhood and it will ever have a special place in my heart.

[@dwdcrosby1]

My favorite strat was standing in front of a boulder as Renamon and using Kohenkyo to switch places with my little brother. I still play it occasionally, but the old disc skips on me all the time now.

[@RokuroCarisu]

Mine was using Impmon's grab to stun the opponent and then either use Summon right on top of them or casually push them into a pit.

[@wheavel99]

I was 12 years old with saved up allowance to spend and a newly gifted PS One. Saw this at my local Circuit City at the time and knew absolutely nothing about it besides it being Digimon. I must have played this game for hours when I was younger!

[@hassledvania]

Have to give Digimon credit. Wouldve been so easy to just replicate what Pokemon was doing, but they went out of their way to try and offer new experiences.

[@OneOfTheLoveless]

I hope you're not joking.

[@Oorlich95]

I played this game every single day after school. This unlocked some memories, for sure. This is where I learned that Gatomon could digivolve into Holydramon/Magnadramon.

[@Ona-Kin]

This was one of my favorite games growing up, I can still hear reapermon laughing after beating you

[@SirXendo]

came from your Digimon World review and I have to say you've got a sub for being able to have such an authentic way of portraying your experience of one of my fondest childhood memories. Probably too much of an ask if you can get around to it but I hope you can find the time to also play 2 & 3.. it's nice knowing that people enjoy the stuff that you've kinda been a lone enjoyer for. Edit: nvm, you're indeed getting into it.. heh

Digimon Rumble Arena was my introduction to Digimon, and it will always have a special place in my heart. I'd love to see a remake of this game, or at least a Digimon Rumble Arena 3 someday. After all, now that we're finally getting Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4, maybe it's time for Digimon fighting games to make a comeback!

[@diamonshade7484]

There was a 3rd game on ps3 and 360 I believe , it had Plesiomon for gomamon which was interesting but I don't think I would have like as much as the 1st 2 and I wish we could get a good next installment

[@cannolidaddy]

I have such strong memories of this game. I played all the time with my cousins during the summer. We used to get all of the extensions cords and found a TV outside on the street and rolled it to my grandparents backyard so we could all play this game. We made a house rule that everyone had to choose one digimon and no one could use your digmon to fight (unless asked or if you lost it in a fight). 6 cousins, battling day in and day out for a month or so was so much fun! I miss those guys.

[@MitchFromFBS]

"The soundtrack for Digimon Rumble Arena is... fine. Nothing about it is amazing, but it's certainly serviceable" is not a take I was ready to hear

[@RokuroCarisu]

Out In The Country and Rumble from Another Dimension are absolute bangers!

[@XsomeoneXelseX]

I loved this so much, this game is ingrained in my brain in ways no videogame should ever be. Can't wait for the Digimon World 2 video.

[@jjerryw]

To be fair, guilmon's Japanese voice is pretty similar to the English one. So the dub was really following the Japanese style on this one

[@Hellcat287287]

The intro of rumble arena went so hard. I didnt play a whole lot of PS1 games but that was easily the most entertaining and honestly best looking. Wouldnt have been upset if they used the actual Digimon soundtrack though lol.

[@FadeGalaxis]

Rumble Arena was my childhood next to Digimon World 3. So many hours spent on it :D

[@Shadowyurix]

This game and Rumble Arena 2 are absolute BANGERS with friends or siblings. Me and my sister have a stupid amount of Hours in those games playing against each other

[@FeliDJrah]

This was one of my favorite games growing up. My friends and I would play it all the time.

[@infjmale91]

You are going to be embarrassed because this is actually the God tier of fighting gameplay. What you need to do is feel the Digimon as it attacks and then react with the respective square and triangle buttons. The combo system was actually going to be used in the new Street Fighter games but Capcom got jealous and apparently stopped it. The element weaknesses may sound stupid and pointless when you can just wait till everyone picks their character then pick the one with the most boosts in strength. This was going to be used in Smash Bros but again, there was a fight because they won't put Angewoman as a Smash bros character. The movement may feel choppy and slow but that's because it helps you feel the impact and power of the Digimon. If you meditate and then open you mind, then play, you will feel an enlightenment that most people just don't understand. The Digievolution, although seems janky and breaks up the tension, actually is designed so you can take a swig of a drink, a drag of a cigarette, whatever (you earnt it). It was designed to actually reduce the amount of time children were on games for. In the Brazilian release, it encourages kids to do push ups while it loads but must of not come through PAL. As a result, this game was deliberately given bad ratings and it was a big conspiracy (like E.T).

[@bradleybrown8428]

Oh my god! I remember this game! I'm blind and didn't really know what I was doing but it was fun :) I never watched the show but does anyone remember a character saying, "I like beans!" As one of their atacks? I'm going to try and find some digimon stuff on youtube :)

[@matthasch847]

For a children's show, the anime does go into dark themes which made it very interesting. So even adults can enjoy them

THIS HAS BEEN INGRAINED IN MY NOSTALGIA FILLED BRAIN FOR SO LONG THANK YOU

[@PasOdMater]

As a kid, I loaned this game to my local gaming store and they allowed me to rent any other game for free because they earned a bunch of money from it because everyone wanted to play it. The disc ended up too scratched to run in the end, but I had a lot of fun.

[@SventFulgur]

Your review made me realize that the reason I loved this game so much as a kid is that it is incredibly simple as a fighting game. I'm awful at fighting games, I generally don't like the genre since the difficulty curve is higher than I'm willing to learn, but I loved this game and played it for hours on end 😅

[@Magnosummit]

The difficulty spike when fighting Reapermon at the end of any given digimon's route was a little more than noticeable until you came back with a better, stronger digimon. Otherwise, wasn't ever too bad.

[@SventFulgur]

@@Magnosummit it helped that you could run forever to kite him ^^;

[@johjoh9270]

I remember when this game also had a lot of myths around it like, beat it on hard 50 times on a row without taking damage and without rebooting your PS1 and you'd get Magnamon or something like that, forums were full of these

I remember going to my cousins house and he had this game, I literally begged my parents to buy it for weeks after that lol

[@dannysha6458]

@@Wayneisboss Haha I feel you definitely glad I didn’t miss out. I suggest looking up digimon rumble arena remastered, it’s a fan project that adds plenty of digimon that weren’t in the original game and it seems to have new stages and slightly better graphics.

[@bananabike279]

Yooo I used to LOVE Rumble Arena!! Back when I was little and just got into Digimon, I visited my local gamestop and they had both Digimon World and Rumble Arena and I could only choose one... being also a Smash fan at the time I ofcourse choose the latter haha. I didn't even know it had sequels though, please cover those as well!!

[@JamotHica]

7:30 I'm gonna be that "somebody out there right now" and say that in Rumble Arena you do actually get some unique attacks depending on the direction you push along with the attack button =') I remember a couple of the coolest attacks being ones where you either had to hit up, down or left/right along with square, and some triangle attacks can have their direction changed depending on what you push

[@gabilon1667]

Of all the people I played Rumble Arena with as a kid, it was with my grandparents funnily enough. They had this huge container filled with games for PS1, NES, SNES, etc, and Rumble arena was included in their collection (No idea why. Not even they remember how they got it). But yeah, some weekend visits included all of us duking it out with random Digimon in Rumble Arena. My insistence of always picking Terriermon got me crushed often (Thanks for the PTSD flashback while destroying Megagargomon at 9:45 . My grandpa destroyed me so much that way 🤣🤣🤣). My grandparents had no idea what Digimon was or what the anime was about, they were just excited to have a good time gaming with me. Rumble arena will always have that special place in my heart because of my grandparents. Guess it does for them as well because whenever the current Digimon TCG drops a Megagargomon they'll always ask me how to get it ASAP. They just have this collection of Megagargomon cards or something from they Terriermon lineup. It's fantastic and I love it 🤣🤣

I just always found it amusing that the voices were so different in places. I want to say it was Takato who sounded like he was voiced by Ash's VA? Fun little romp of a game, if you didn't want anything especially deep in your party battler games

[@BlindIcarus]

Loved this as a kid. Me and my brother/friends would play everytime. The VERY simple control scheme meant we would have to learn how to fool each other, and fake attacks, fake defenses, and learn wich moves were faster or not. Playing as War Greymon or Black War Greymon would always feel cool, using tornados to the wrong size in purpose, until the one we meant to connect would do it and combo with other melee attacks, a circle and ulti. It was almost one whot combo when it would work, Felt amazing and PRO XDDD

[@rmiki96]

Yeah it's pretty much objectively not that good nowadays, the controls are really janky and it's extremely unbalanced, the voice acting is weird, the maps are also kinda awful gameplay-wise (even though they look great for a ps1 title)... but I think It's still enjoyable for what it is. It's got that good old ps1 era charm to it that keeps me going back to it. It definetly deserves a remake even though we all know it's not going to happen, sadly.

[@danielcabrera8012]

This game is the reason I like the Gatomon line because I was unable to beat the boss with any other Digimon and then I guess Cyber Sleuth and Mastemon made me like the evolution line more

Although pretty basic, it's lovely charm, easy to play and fun digievolutions made it a great game to pick up and play. Wish I didn't sell it.... I remember WarGreymon's Nova Blast Supermove was so broken. NOOOVVVAA BLLAAASSSTT!!

[@AquaDreiger]

i'm so exited when you are gonna do Rumble Arena 2 i played that so much as a kid with the single player campaign and it was pure fun even when i was able to do the many specific commands for many digimons when i checked in the game menu of the command sequence like something that i can't fully remember anymore but like X button/X button/O button but it felt cool when i checked the command list of the digimons and that i could execute them by remembering them when younger 😅

[@jy61]

While I understand that for the vast majority of people "Oh you have to explain the depth to me? That's simply bad design then" is true for them, I think it's actually indicative of emergent gameplay, which is the sign of a really great game and system for more committed players. Games that just say "Here's how you play, now do this until you reach the end" typically don't have much to delve into. You just play for a bit, and then you're done. Works for most people, but for people who prefer to get really involved in one game rather than playing a whole bunch of games, "What [having depth that has to/can be explained] speaks for itself" means is that it's actually probably pretty interesting.

[@WhiplashPuppet]

Fun fact. Did you know? That if you follow up Grim Slasher immediately with Bone Duster, you can stun lock your opponent into a dizzy state? Try it, Reapermon is literally OP.

[@Mr123tumama]

The sequel is such an upgrade! Definitely recommend it.

I'm not huge on Digimon, just have some childhood nostalgia for it (which is why I watched this and your previous upload), but I really wanted to comment that your delivery is excellent! It's not often I come across a smaller youtuber who sounds so clean per se. It's really pleasant to listen to your videos thanks to how you enunciate different phrases so judiciously and how neatly you've edited voice line cuts. This also makes it more enticing to follow through with the whole video. Good work! I hope you get what I mean, I don't know how else to explain this.

The thing about these games that are too simple to be enjoyed for us, is that you can actually have fun with people that don't know what they're doing. There's not enough strategy for the match to be unbalanced, specially if you let the newbie pick an evolved form and you pick a rookie

You can actually change up your basic attack based on the direction you push the controller. You can have low sweeping ones or high reaching ones. They will break through guards if not guarded for right. Not that it has the diversity of the Smash attacks, but it is a thing

[@Wayneisboss]

That's actually good to know, I'll try to rectify my statements when I take a look at Rumble Arena 2

[@HungerBunger93]

@@Wayneisboss I never played DRA2, but I was an avid boy of DRA so my dad, bros, and I would play it nonstop. I will say though the rest of your video was on point. For clarification, you can have an up attack, a down attack and a "forward"/standard attack (same is true in the air the forward attack is the same, you just change facing directions). The forward attack is the one that's most shown with the chain mashing. There is a "smash" attack though which is a 100% guard breaker which is pressing forward at the same time as pushing the basic attack button

[@christopherchesnajr1429]

I saw the Reapermon when you talked about spamming and I was like “fuck that was totally me when I played this game”

I mainly and mostly played this game as a kid, I loved it so much because I already loved digimon. I liked playing as Renamon because her special attack and ability are insanely overpowered in her basic form, at some point I played a whole run without evolving, that's how broken she is. I accidentally found this channel, and damn I love finding other people who really love digimon too.
