Awesome stuff man. Glad you had fun. I had a great time too!
That Wario game was from my table! Glad it went to a good home, enjoy!
Oh man. My son absolutely LOVED it. He immediately put it on display in his room, and we've even broken it out to play a couple of times already. Thanks so much for watching too!
Which McKay’s location was that? Was it the new one in Mebane, NC?
Yep! It was the brand new one. The only one I've ever seen that nice was in Nashville. It's just as big too I think. Definitely worth a stop!
Miss click. I was looking for the “Quest to Outh East Gamee Change”
great to finally meet you! SEGE ruled!
Absolutely! Glad I could finally shake your hand! SEGE is a yearly thing for me now, so hope you get to be a guest next year too!
Great video and nice pickups- especially the Japanese stuff! Cheers,
Thanks! Always gotta show off the Japanese stuff when I can! Thanks for watching!
4:11 HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HEBE BECAUSE THE PENGUIN HAS A BLACK BACK AND HEBE DOESN'T
4:11 Hebe looks more like a bird because at the beginning of UFOURIA THE saga 2 hebe appears sleeping in a tree and in one of the comics or manga of the characters a penguin appears
I’m honestly glad Sunsoft lost the Terminator license as I would have never cared about, let alone played it! I did not enjoy the Terminator, so I wouldn’t have ever tried it. It would have also never gotten a NSO rerelease, as that is what got me to play the game again. I honestly would’ve forgotten about Silius without NSO, and I really don’t understand the hate it gets! Today, I can honestly as that Journey to Silius is my favorite game ever made!
ROM?
Instruments of Destruction on PC is basically the unofficial sequel to this, better in every way.
I've never heard of that one, but I'll absolutely check it out! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Small but mightu shop indeed. Nice pricing and sweet Amiibo and statue selection, very cool to see.
100% agreed on there not being enough Chibi-Robo love out there! I adore Hydlide, warts and all. And I REALLY appreciate them noting that some of the NES games were 5-screw on their price tags. There's an accompanying Zelda that matches that Link statue, if that weighs your decision at all. My wife has the Zelda and she looks incredible. :) I kinda need that Sonic statue in my life. Great pickups!! Eagerly looking forward to the Wisdom Tree video - I know so little about those games.
Where do you get the templates?
How did u get the sticky papers printed add love to do that
thanks brother. good info on acool series i just ndiscovered. ur a cool guy
I've been playing the recent eshop re-release of the original. Should have bought the sequel when it was on sale the other day.
As an alabamian, the title of this game makes me unreasonably angry.
Does it matter if the Mod Podge is glossy or matte?
Yo I have to say thanks so much for mentioning The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls! I never heard of it and Links Awakening was my fave too. Been looking for more games like this. Pls share more. Thanks xmillion.
Cool is it give me on the switch?
Yo this is sick! Thanks for showing us this
Of course! Happy to share and glad it could help someone!
Gamethyme sent me your video because I just starting making quick start guide for city builder/RTS games, and wow your videos are so polished and entertaining! I hope your videos will keep picking up steam!
Thank you so much! I'm making a concentrated effort to up my content game, so it's great to hear that folks are enjoying it! Thanks so much for watching!
Looks like a fun game. Love the Donkey Kong throwback cover.
Oh yeah. I LOVE the alternate cover art on this thing. One of the best I've seen in a while!
What a great looking game and that box art is amazing,love sneaky snakes fantastic game Great video 👍
Thanks so much! It's nice to hear that someone else has heard of Sneaky Snakes! 😄
Pretty nifty! FYI, we often utilize stickers as magnets so we can move and reuse them. And keychains make for perfect nerdy themed tree ornaments for the holidays.
Oooh! That's a great idea! Any tips on how to convert them into magnets? I see a few methods online, but if you guys have tips I'd love to hear them. Sound like a good video idea actually - I'd love to see you guys show off your skills!
@@BittyKongsQuest Oh, we're not fancy with ours; we grab adhesive magnet sheets from Amazon, adhere slowly and firmly to work any bubbles out, and just sloooooowly cut around the sticker art itself.
Thank you for not doing what others do and just naming it ugly cause "it has a marker stain on the cart shell" or "the label is starting to come off." Much more common is the rental store stickers, or a ripped label, or permanent marker on the label itself. Collectors are so adverse to it, and whatever, my gain. I am going for a full Sega Genesis collection and while I go for the nicest condition I can find, I won't not buy it if it is ugly. Especially the high end ones. I have Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel with a faded label. I have some games that came with no label at all that I picked up for $10 each. Just bought repro labels for those. It looks great, I know the game inside is authentic, and I don't plan on selling it. Even if I do, it still would just sell it for a bit less, as if it had no label at all, and be honest with the buyer. Again though, looking forward to the day I have all the games, don't plan to sell, and as long as the original game is inside, that's what matters to me.
I remember years back when i got this game for the N64 My friend and i worked on it taking turns earning platinum on all levels .. Was not easy one bit
Hey man, this was a great video with lots of good tips for cleaning up games as well as an important message on life itself! Beaten up things do show character, especially if you know the story behind it. And if there is something you dont like about a game's aesthetics you can also try to change or improve it! Subbed and keep it up!
I appreciate the work you put into this video!
This is a great game and very obscure heh....And obscure Japanese games happen to be my niche and place love these. I admit this game slipped under my radar for years even someone like me who emulates games. i am only just now finding it and by chance on my Nintendo switch I downloaded the original version that has all the emulator features in it like save states and all that junk. I'll def be emulating the others and I will be buying the 2nd game Hebereke 2. Curious question do you know these other obscure japanese games by any chance? There is the Wagyan Land series I played quite a few of them and Nage Libre an SNES and PS1 jrpg game those are worth checking out too and talking about I think.
I've never heard of Nage-Libre, but I love Wagyan Land! Definitely plan on covering that series at some point at least just to talk about it a bit. 😄 Thanks so much for watching!
@@BittyKongsQuest Nage Libre is great it is a tactical RPG with some fun characters and fun gameplay. Also despite it being an RPG it is quite easy to play it with 0 knowledge of Japanese. I played that game quite a few times. The sequel on the PS1 is called Nage Libre Seijaku no Suishin the company that made these games mysteriously went under though and no longer exists as far as I know. Also great to see someone else who enjoys Wgyan! I love those games I even recorded gameplay f a few of those games over on my channel not that many people know of those gems I wish they were released in America alas I fear it will never happen at this rate the entire series is Japan only forever.
Totally agree with this and a great vid my friend!
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!
@@BittyKongsQuestyou’re welcome! Trying to watch everyone’s stuff….its so much lol!
@@retrobeliever Dude I totally get it. I've got a constant backlog of videos to watch now. 😆
@@BittyKongsQuest🤷🏼♂️😂😂😂
Just found your channel and subbed Great video 👍
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
if you want more games that are burned ill sell my humble 3ds collection or whats left of it at basement price. i tend to be a bit narcoleptic. or very, and i would play till late hours.. well to make a long story shorter, i nodded and dropped a lit smoke onto a pouch some hippie gave me that was holding the 3ds games, and woke in time to save them..all but one, but they melted together. i snapped them apart and kinda sanded the cart till it fit again, and they still play. they have character nicely toasted.
Listen, unless we're talking a considerable reduction in price, I ain't buying someone's abused property
You can always make new labels. I know its not the official label but ive had carts that were chewd by dogs and stuff. Labels gone completely. All kinds of stuff. I think the game is more enjoyable when you have made your own cart. One of my favorite carts is solid brass with a clear pokemon gold label on it so the brass shines threw Ho-oh. Its a gorgeous cart
I bought this game right when it released. I already had Super Mario 64 and Star Wars SotE, so this rounded things out a bit for me. I played it a ton until I got GoldenEye...then Zelda OoT dropped and those were the only games I needed. The N64 had some great titles, had they went CD based to get better textures it would have been insane for a late 1996 released console.
Great advice. We're such cheapskates that we totally live by this mantra. It's usually nothing to pretty up a game and any purchased in the wild should get a good cleaning anyway.
13:06 The original has been rereleased on the switch too.
You're absolutely right. I realized that that got dropped from the video after I uploaded, and there's no way to update the video once it's uploaded. Thanks for pointing that out though! I've pinned your comment so folks can see the correction. Thanks so much for watching!
I loved this game as a kid. My favourite game. Rented it and then picked it up for $5 used. Still have that copy and have since picked up a complete copy.
I love collecting barely functional/damaged old games. I don't think their condition makes them any less valuable if they can still be made to work.
I couldn't agree more! There are way too many instances of games sitting on a shelf for literal years just because they're a little worse for wear. Thanks so much for watching!
Great video as always, man!
Thanks man! Always good to see you pop in!
Looking back to when I first started collecting about 15 years ago, one of my biggest regrets is intentionally peeling off rental stickers. Realizing the historical/sentimental value of the rental era, I eventually stopped and kept them on. I still kick myself for seeing those as an eyesore, but you live and learn.
Yep. Some of the earliest videos on this channel were restoration videos, and one of the things I used to do was remove rental stickers and labels. I've long-since changed my perspective, but I used to do the same thing! Thanks so much for watching!
The idea of rental stickers or other imperfections to (roughly) verify authenticity is stupidly brilliant. All of the collecting hype is too focused on physical condition (akin to shelf candy), rather than people truly enjoying the games/consoles. I've got a copy of Chrono Trigger with it's label pock marked, about 15 years ago at a Game Crazy, for a cheaper price because of the blemish to the label (the rest of the cart is fine). I'm fine with an "ugly" game, so long that it works.
That's awesome! My childhood copy of Chrono Trigger has some visible wear on the label as well, but I love it all the same! And yeah, lately I've started looking at wear to a game as an extra bit of security that what I'm buying is a real copy (in addition to checking the board, of course). It's just too easy for "mint" copies to be fake these days. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for watching!
I'm going to start a small NES collection soon and was wondering how to best save money while collecting it. The thought of ugly copies never crossed my mind thank you for the idea
Of course! Thanks so much for watching!
Hopefully we will see more of Hebereke games. If you check out Sunsoft's CZcams channel, they're going into full swing making content and silly animations with Hebe and friends.
Oh man, I saw that a bit after I published this video! They're leaning really hard into the weirdness of the series, and it's awesome. The crane arcade machine one especially is completely demented in the best possible way! Thanks so much for watching!
Hey folks! I said I'd update when the game finally went on sale, so here are the links! Physical: megacatstudios.com/products/kudzu Switch Digital: www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/kudzu-switch/ ROM Only: totter87.itch.io/kudzu
And legit, Defender on the Cube is FANTASTIC.
PoP Sands of Time was incredible. I regret not including that in the video you mentioned! Excellent tour of an awesome store, my friend!
Thanks man! I can't recommend it enough. If you ever end up at a convention in the north Jersey/New York area, it would absolutely be worth a visit!
Just popped into my recommendation. Hope you don't mind if I left a comment or 2
