Wild Woody - Sega CD Review

[@philmason9653]

You can tell this started with Earthworm Jim ambitions but landed face-first on planet Bubsy.

[@enkiabzu5792]

Sums it up perfectly!

[@Vitorio582]

And just like Bubsy, the music is the only good thing about it

[@AltimaNEO]

Yeah, 5:55 was reminding me of Earthworm Jim 2.

[@shaitet]

Bubsy and Wild Woody wished they were as good and looked highly upon as Earthworm Jim.

[@jmullner76]

Bingo!

"Wild Woody is a classic, you hold the controller, you press the button and Wild Woody ocassionaly jumps, it's that simple."

Wild Woody sounds like something you would get in one of those awkward moments where you don't want to stand up out of embarrassment

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

It does sound like a hilarious medical condition, oh sorry everybody I'm suffering from "wild woody" right now. Please don't be offended it's uncontrollable.

[@crimsontide1980]

Thanks for digging up long suppressed memories from 4th Grade, when I had to stand in the front of the class and read my book report lol. Tried the ole tuck under my belt trick but I shifted too much and it stuck straight out front and center. Could hear some of the kids giggling quietly and I could feel my face warming up and turning red.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

The voice of Wild Woody is actually a pretty decent guy, whom at the time didn't know what he was getting into when doing the voice acting for the game. He was given another shot at his character in a 2 part episode of Taco-Man The Game Master, where he was all in on the joke.

[@ManillaHeep]

Aside from the FMV, soundtrack and some fluid sprite animations, this sadly does not look too far removed from mascot platformers we already had in droves on the Genesis. When you said it came out in '95 I was even more underwhelmed. I still say the RPGs of the Sega CD are the real treasures of the console.

[@NinJoshkko]

I love this channel so much. Thank you for always making reviews and introducing me to so many Sega games.

[@45jacky41]

Never had a sega cd, 32x saturn or dream cast. Only had a genesis. Sega was doing some weird crap where the had a ad on or new console every year. Destroyed consumer confidence. But I'll always enjoy my time with my genesis

[@Apanblod]

@@eskanda3434 They should have milked the "vanilla" Genesis for all it was worth (which I assume the intent was by releasing the add-ons). There still would have been a substantial need for 'budget' gaming, even after the release of the next generation consoles. They could have waited instead of rushing into the 32 bit era (which they probably felt pressured to do) and the Saturn and Dreamcast could really have been one machine. However, while I'm sad that SEGA failed on so many levels and is mostly out of the game, the Dreamcast is by far my favourite console of the ones I've owned, and who knows what we would have gotten if those mistakes weren't made, perhaps they would have made things even worse, it's impossible to tell.

[@supersexysega]

@@Apanblod Budget gaming would have been the vanilla Genesis. Milking the Gensis wouldn't be done by crippling its image with medicore add-on that just take software away from the Genesis install base and advertising money shifted toward add-on not Genesis software.

[@Apanblod]

@@supersexysega No exactly, they should have skipped the add-ons and let the original Genesis have its organic life span. I meant that the add-ons were most likely an attempt to keep up with the development of the time in an effort to always stay close to the "you can't do this on x" marketing strategy. In hindsight this was disastruous, of course, as was the rushing of the Saturn.

[@rockhyde7775]

Just because it exists doesn’t mean you need to own it. So true! It’s no wonder so many people waste their money on ClayFighter: Sculptor’s Cut for the N64. It’s absolute insanity indeed because that game is just garbage. “It’s a thousand dollars! I gotta have it!!!!” If the game is good or can get a cheaper means of obtaining it, don’t bother wasting your hard-earned cash there. I only buy what I think is good or decent because I value quality over quantity. By the way, anything that’s hardly sought after or nobody wants it in their collection? I want to know.

[@shaggymcdaniel3216]

I keep hoping to find a game that captures the magic of the original Rayman.

Eh. Agree to disagree. Wild Woody is actually the only SEGA CD game I own aside from Earthworm Jim: Special Edition. Yes, the hit detection is biased as shit, but it’s something I grew to accept as I played it. The animations (aside from the primitive cutscenes) are appealing and one thing we can all agree on: The Soundtrack is TIGHT!! But hey. I understand the game isn’t for everyone. This is the type of game you just have to accept both for what it offers and what could have been... Also, I know the guy who voiced Woody on Twitter. He’s a nice dude!

[@hawaiianpunchaho]

I don't know what I was expecting from this judging from the thumbnail but your rant/review was well worth it especially at the beginning about the eraser bit lmfao 😆.

[@QXZ_Productions]

Despite having access to a Sega CD, I never played 'Wild Woody'. Based on this review, I'm quite relieved that I didn't. There is one other area of aggravation that I would have addressed: The health meter; that font design is TERRIBLE. Througout the course of this review, I had trouble not only differntiating 4's from 9's, I had trouble telling the 4's apart from the 6's as well!

[@teddym2808]

You were right you know.. I was honestly watching - thinking you were marking this down for being crude, cause in action it looks like it's a good platformer.. But it just controls terribly.. it's awful to actually play.. Personally I am not even mildly offended by the sexual overtones, I find it hilarious when he erases an enemy for example, but I do agree it should have had a mature rating on it.

Most preteens didn't even own a Sega cd, but it probably would've had some notoriety had it been release on genesis. If predated Duke Nukem 3d by a year at least.

Hi Sega Lord X. Thanks for the great uploads. I really enjoy the material you post. Thank you for the time and work you put into these. For some reason this video rebuffed me of the Sega saturn game called Scud which I think would be a good game for you to review.

[@Sinn0100]

I don't know man...the Sega CD did okay here in the states. There were a few titles at the end by Core Designs that seemed to garner great press. BC Racers and Soulstar come to mind as end of the road Sega CD titles that really pushed the hardware while being well received. It's unfortunate the devs producing games for the Sega CD didn't push the hardware as often as they should.

[@SegaLordX]

The Sega CD has some good games. I’ve made entire videos about it, but it sold 2.24 million units worldwide in 4 years. It was a financial disaster.

[@Sinn0100]

@@SegaLordX The thing is, you have to consider a few things first before calling it a total failure. The Sega CD was an add-on that was relatively expensive for its time. The gaming industry was a very different beast during the Sega CD's lifespan (1992-1995). One could sell 100,000 games and be considered a hit. While Sega didn't make much on the unit itself they did make their investment back from licensing fees as these companies often do. Sega's truly big failure was the 32X...that should have never happened. Sega would have likely been okay had they simply stuck with the Sega CD and Genesis until the Saturn hit at least for the 4th generation. Addendum- Sega Lord X, I have been a faithful viewer of your channel for a very longtime. I may disagree with you on certain things (like the Sega CD) but I mean no disrespect. Like you, I grew up during the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generations of gaming. Also like you, I had it all and I played everything I could get my hands on. The only console that eluded me for a good many years was the Neo Geo AES, I wound up getting one in 2008. Even though I had every machine released I still always came back to Sega's hardware. I mean, I was the guy with a Jaguar, Doom, AVP, and Wolfenstein 3d in 1994 and I couldn't stop playing Virtua Racing on the Genesis. I would use my Sega CD to play the Doom soundtrack while I played it on the Jaguar...in 1994, that was living. At any rate, great video man.
