    This is one of my favorite games of all time. Shout out to Jamirus for the excellent walkthrough/breeding guide, there's no way I'd be able to breed all of the boss monsters without his sage wisdom!

  • @JimProfit357
    @JimProfit357 Před 4 dny

    I wonder if many of these game wouldn't feel much better if they could be played at a more modest 3:2 ratio. It would be the equivalent of 13.5:9, an improvement over 4:3 (12:9) many of the pop-ins would be out of sight and it would bring many 16bit games in line with the GBA aspect ratio. Add to that the possibility of custom borders, and you'd have a very compelling way to play retro games on a widescreen display...

    It's genuinely amazing how ABYSMAL the combat is in this game. Like, it's actually impressive; for some reason they decided "the player should be a glorified spectator who has little to zero impact on the battle, and literally every battle should be determined ENTIRELY by RNG". I swear, video game developers are the dumbest people on the planet.

    Yesterday I was hit with a sudden flashback of this game. Quick google and hallelujah! Thanks for the vid :) I played this game back when I didn't really know any English so it was the most mindless fun ever. Thank God my parents didn't care what I was playing ;D Also just a side note - you can actually download this game pretty easily. No need to track a physical copy.

    @Badbufon Před 20 dny

    i always had mixed feelings about 2, i loved the more realistic setting of 1 and 2 go nuts right away with parallel dimensions, eldritch gods and ancient spirits between other stuff + stuff added in the remake. which makes sense in the context of SRW and it was always hinted in the first one but the jump it's a little jarring for me, that being said, from all OG games this one pulls it more organically than most. for me the series peaked here, Gaiden was ok, 2nd was a mess and moon dwellers was alright, it's hard to handle several crossovers in a game without breaking the plot or pushing away the first batch of characters... i still want them to make the final game tho, i need closure.

    What a strange game! I love when Nintendo takes a chance publishing new IPs just to give it a shot and see what happens. The game is graphically pretty nice looking from the youtube videos, and the cinematic shots in the cutscenes are pretty nice. Overall looks like a strange game! But neat!

    I could never touch the GBA port, it just doesn't seem like it would fit. Part of the appeal of Tony is that he's a bit of a casual cool guy. He has some wit, some good sense, and a lot of aimlessness. He's just a stranger in a strange world and nearly everything he touches turns to ash. You don't want some monkey-faced shonen protagonist to whoopsie doodle his way into having a hand in destroying the world.

      The second and third slots aren't initially available, you need to progress through the story a bit. After that, you open the party menu (B button), then choose the top option, and then the second icon (it shows a blue and red animal) to swap party members.

    It sucks that the DLC is only good for the multiplayer and that simulation mode still has a bug that hasn't been fixed in years. Otherwise I would definitely play this game though I did forget about it years ago but at least it exists and it has some of that super robot wars soul implanted into it..... I am not surprised that 1 of the DLC units is the main character's unit but as a hot anime girl lol.

      The SNES and MegaDrive ones are available as cores for RetroArch, so it's just a matter of installing them. The NES and Gameboy ones would need to be recompiled for Linux/Android though.

    This was a great breakdown of the work being done to make this kind of stuff a reality! I have personally made around 100 videos since 2010 showing what retro games would look like in full HD. They push the boundaries much further than what the emulators are shown doing here, but it’s purely artistic and definitely not playable.
