Western Exclusive Nintendo Games (First Party) | Rewind Arcade

[@cedarvalleygaming]

I had no knowledge of Arm Wrestling, being able to unmask a disguised Bald Bull is pretty awesome.

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah, I had no idea about the Bald Bull cameo either. Pretty cool!

[@TrevinAdams]

That was a fun video! Great job with the storytelling!

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you! I made an effort to transition between each game and chapter as smoothly as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@Terranigma23]

It was a really interesting video. Hoping to have a sequel one day. PS: Your video editing style is always so good. ;)

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I have a lot of fun video editing, but the amount of time I spend animating is also why it takes an eternity to get videos out. 😂

[@SolCresta3405]

Kirby’s Avalanche was my introduction to both Kirby and Puyo Puyo.

[@RewindArcade]

This and Mean Bean Machine were my introductions to the Puyo Puyo series, but Puyo Pop on the GBA is honestly what really got me into the games.

[@SolCresta3405]

@@RewindArcade I didn’t play Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine until now. And Puyo Puyo Fever was what got me invested.

[@michielkroder4031]

Instant like and watch when I see you upload!

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man, really appreciate that!

[@GregoryOborne]

Sweet video, a lot of neat info on lesser known Nintendo games! It is nice how you blend in the history along with individual game info to make it more than just a list.

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man! I tried to keep things moving since I figured people would get bored if I went to deep into each game, but still wanted to give a little bit of history on each. Appreciate you watching!

[@dezm101]

Awesome video! Lots of great info as usual. I didn't know about Bald Bull in arm wrestling. I had super scope as a kid and I loved metal combat so much and was bummed hardly anyone knew about it lol

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks dez!! Yeah, Bald Bull being in Arm Wrestling was one I had no idea about either. Really want to try out an actual Arcade cabinet of the game. And I’ve wanted to try and play both Battle Clash and Metal Combat with a legit Super Scope, but the one I had was busted. Still need to track down a working one. Thanks for watching man!

[@Sarahm2261]

This video was awesome and your video on galaries was great too.

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you so much! This video didn't get a lot of love so I am extra appreciative that you enjoyed it.

[@Rumms-Bumms69]

@RewindArcade Lad, are you still alive?

[@RewindArcade]

@Rumms-Bumms69 I am still alive, haha, but taking a break from KZbin for a little while. Got a little burnt out. 😅

[@Rumms-Bumms69]

@@RewindArcade As long as you come back. I like your videos quite a lot - full of info and to the point without much unnessecary babbling around.

[@kirbysmashbrosultimate]

Loved this! Would love to see more vids in this style for sure!

[@RewindArcade]

Ayyy, thanks Kirby, glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun putting this video together so I plan to hopefully do more like it in the future.

[@jjinc1957]

Very interesting video: thank you!

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@lifebeginsat8bit]

Well that was incredibly interesting. What a great take! I've played almost all of these games and had no idea several of them were Western exclusives.

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man! This was definitely a fun video to write and research for.

[@indieeric6530]

Woooohooooo!!! Always a good day when I see you’ve released a new video. Hope you are well my friend

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man, you too! Hope you enjoy the video!

[@BassicBits]

Awesome video! Many of those were surprising to me. I can’t believe Japan didn’t get Star Tropics! It’s also interesting to me that Gumshoe was like a more interesting Flappy Bird 😝

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man!! Yeah, I really would love to see an alternate reality where StarTropics did make it to Japan just to see if the series would have continued on. And yeah, Gumshoe was a very forward thinking game that I feel doesn't get enough credit for being so creative back then. Just like StarTropics, I'm curious if Nintendo would have given it more of a spotlight had it released in Japan.

[@mortenera2294]

I know this type of videogames are kinda niche in the west, but will you ever make a retrospective on the Idolmaster series? It's one of Bamdai Namco's most important IPs and the characters made multiple appearances in games like Ace Combat, Tales Of and Katamari Damacy

[@RewindArcade]

Honestly, anything’s in the cards, and the Idolmaster series is certainly very interesting. Lately though, I’ve been having a hard time finding the motivation to do retrospective videos after my past few have performed so poorly on KZbin. 😭

[@mortenera2294]

@@RewindArcade Oh, it's such a shame really. Your videos are amazing! I don't think views are that important, you'll always have your crowd of fans

[@RewindArcade]

Thank you, really appreciate that!

[@AuthorativeMrM]

Hey Chris, old viewer here …. and I DID like this video! Incredibly informative and entertaining as always, and I now need to somehow find & play that Arm Wrestling game … why wasn’t THAT on the NES? It looks way more fun than Urban Champion!

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks Rob, haha! And yeah, it's very surprising that Urban Champion got an NES port over Arm Wrestling considering how crappy UC is. I'm keeping my eye out for an Arm Wrestling cabinet at all the cons I'll be at this year since I really want to give one a play in person. Thanks for watching man!

[@PragmatikReviews]

I didn't know that Pokemon Puzzle league was a Pon game. Make that's so cool, but I'd of gladly traded that for the latter, it's a way cuter look! I'm about about to review a gundam game where it's localized version was exclusive to us for a long time. Great work here! This is a very unique vidoe as opposed to what you usually see!

[@RewindArcade]

Thanks man!! Yeah, I really am happy we got Panel de Pon on Nintendo Switch Online, but I’d like to see the series released in a more “official” capacity in the West than just a quick JP ROM dump. Very curious about this Gundam game you’re reviewing. I’ll keep an eye out for the video! I picked up Haro no Puyo Puyo on GBA a few months ago so I’m a sucker for weird Gundam spin-offs. 😅 Thanks for watching dude!

[@johntorn]

I had no idea some of these were Western exclusives!

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah, I first learned about a lot of these too while researching for this. Poor Panel de Pon just needs a full on modern reboot in the West to make thing right. 😂

[@destructodisk9074]

Bald Bill! Lol. I like it.

[@thedredayshow9246]

Aside from Star Tropics (The one I knew most about) I'm surprised these games actually didn't go over to the east.

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah, there are some very surprising games that never made it to Japan (or made it there way later).

[@powpuckmobile9226]

Two non-domestic Nintendo games feature Nintendo Power's mascot, Nestor: To the Earth, and Nestor's Funky Bowling.

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah, I was considering covering Virtual Boy, DS, Wii, etc. in a later episode, but I didn’t include To the Earth since it was developed by a 3rd party studio. Still though, both are very interesting games. Have always wanted to try out NFB just because it seems like such an odd release.

[@maximum.collecting]

The Panel de Pon rabbit hole is deep. So deep, in fact, that the West got an exclusive Pokémon game…huh? Awesome work, as always, but wouldn’t this be the opposite of collecting Japanese games? Are you switching up on us??? 😂

[@RewindArcade]

Yeah man, the PdP series has such a strange relationship in the West, even in games like Smash Bros. Would make a cool video just on its own! I remember you buying the GC Puzzle Collection last year, and now I kind of want to pick up a copy myself, haha. And I generally keep things very Japanese focused on my channel so I felt like it would be cool to do something that went in the polar opposite direction for once. Thanks for watching man!

[@maximum.collecting]

@@RewindArcade Jon Cartwright (formerly) at Nintendo Life had a really good video about it a few years ago, so I’ll be using that as a source when I inevitably get back to the “series.” SO much info there!

[@RewindArcade]

So that means I don’t need to make one then. Phew! 😂

[@maximum.collecting]

@@RewindArcade except I’m sure you could make a wildly more in depth one that lasts 6 hours…there’s your project for 2024

[@alexremo7801]

When will there be a video story? I really wanted a video about the history of darkstalkers and Marvel vs Capcom

[@AzitaMarie]

Finally! A smiling Kirby for the West!

[@RewindArcade]

Maybe the ONLY smiling Kirby in the West. 🤣

[@silencethehedgehog46]

I miss your video. when you come back?

[@RewindArcade]

I gotta find the motivation to do KZbin stuff again. Hoping to maybe do a new video later in the year.

[@SpinDash]

what the heck is a "japan"?

[@GrokkerChris]

General feedback/my opinion here. The sound effects during transitions and animations make your videos impossible to watch for more than a minute or two.

[@RewindArcade]

Totally understandable. I have fun adding in the sound effects to help enhance my animations, but I know my video editing style certainly doesn't resonate with everyone. Not many people watch my videos these days so I mainly just try and have fun and do things my own way. I really appreciate the feedback though.

[@GrokkerChris]

@@RewindArcade I was reluctant to leave the comment because of its negativity. Glad you’re having fun making content!

[@RewindArcade]

@@GrokkerChris I love getting constructive criticism because it often allows me to learn and improve. It’s when people are mean and offensive that I generally write off their criticisms as just being hollow insults. 😅
