![Video Game Keyboards | Punching Weight [SSFF]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P8HNUg0qytE/mqdefault.jpg)
I'll never forget the first time I played Gunblade NY in an arcade. Out of nowhere a biker dude smoking a cigar decided to player two. Jesus I felt badass bahaha
I bet you suddenly hit puberty the moment you walked away from that machine XD
Awesome. XD
That’s badass.
It's not a true SSFF video if Sweet Home isn't somehow mentioned in it
And Earth Defense Force.
And Illbleed
@@ExExister ah yes Illbleed, the Dreamcast classic. Cheesy and awesome yes.
And a From Software game.
Don't forget Splatterhouse ;)
I really like the direction your channel has gone. I’m glad you found a more unique voice and I appreciate how unique your subject matter can be. Stuff like punching weight keeps me coming back.
"Journey Escape" for the Atari 2600 has part of "Don't Stop Believin'"
I remember that game from when I was a kid, my mom was a fan of it and all I can think of when I'm reminded about it is the way my brother suggested they were riding a couch through space because of how the graphics on Atari looked. I need someone to explain why Journey had a game about them on the Atari in the first place though
@@LordPichuPal I always thought it was a guy on a jetpack flying through space, avoiding aliens, but I learned it's just Journey after a concert trying to avoid fans and paparazzi.
"Is Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for the N64 show accurate?"
Well the show does have Megazord action.
@Sandman Slim he meant as in the Power Rangers show the game adapted.
Probs not. Most rangers games aren’t
Most Ranger games are based on specific episodes.
But that's only the series specific ones.
Most are crossovers.
@Sandman Slim could be a coincidence. That's about it.
@@luminus9556 Not really. Most Ranger games have levels that each follow the structure of an episode, but none of them actually adapt any actual episodes (aside from that one FMV game on Sega CD). Hell, a lot of them don't even have stories beyond "here's a monster, go fight it, rinse and repeat".
The world record in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue is 35 minutes and 1 second.
You could be the person who pushes it to 34 minutes; the next great barrier in speedrunning.
I would be surprised the record is that low, but you can *casually* beat the game on HARD in that little time.
“Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event ever.”
Uncle Derek: “Hold my Dreamcast Fishing Rod.”
Sega bass fishing (wii version) is great. To my fisherman self.
I liked Shadow the Hedgehog, like yeah, ice physics everywhere, everything was over the top edgy, and Sonic with guns really is not a good idea, but I somehow found a lot of enjoyment in it when I was young and don't think its that bad to pick up and play these days anyways
I'm of the opinion that none of that was the actual problem; the guns were fun as a game mechanic, you get used to slippery movement after a short while, and they could've made a darker Sonic game without it coming off as forced (I'd argue Black Knight is thematically darker and the section of the Sonic fanbase that cares about the lore often argues that's the best story in the series.) The one fatal flaw of Shadow the Hedgehog was the mission system. Making you replay the game a stupid amount of times, and most of the missions that aren't just getting to the goal suck, and on top of that, the need to fit cutscenes in this branching format is what made the story nonsensical.
Thats honestly one of my favorite games ever lol
I could listen to you enthusiastically talk about "bad" Games for hours.
Me: Mom can we get Bayonetta
Mom: We have Bayonetta at home
Bayonetta at home: 13:15
The Bullet Witch lady looks cute though (I like her haircut)
Atari Bayonetta
Lmao
Bro your mom is gonna give u THE TALK if you ask for bayonetta
I love the fact he uses the pause sound from Bushido Blade as the censor bleep 😁
a thank goodness you mentioned that, it was driving me nuts trying to remember where I heard that before!
Derek, did you just imply that DYNAMITE COP IS BAD!?
“Dynamite Cop may not be the best video game, but it is definitely the most video game” -Uncle Derek
@@StopSkeletonsFromFighting And it is not the best Dynamite game because Dynamite Dux exists
Whats this Dynamite COP bs? I am Die Hard Arcade for life!!!! XD
@@PlatyNews Dynamite Headdy would like to have a word with you
I bought it second hand when the DC was still alive. Loved every minute of it. Excellent sequel to Die Hard Arcade.
When I was a kid I always thought Cyndi Lauper was singing "Goonie Love" and not "Good Enough" so I thought it was a song for the movie too. Don't feel bad, Derek!
2010 Splatterhouse isn't even actually bad, a bit cheesey at times but still actually pretty great
better than any lastofus
I agree. Its a pretty good deal. Since it also package the original trilogy with it.
Yeah it rules.
I remember I rented it and it had some issues with crashing (Not sure if the disk or the game itself) when I was early in the mansion. But honestly I had fun with how campy it was, and Jim Cummings as the mask was awesome to hear.
This game has one of the best video game shotguns which never appears in “best video game shotguns” lists, and that’s a damn shame.
I love your MML shirt! Would love to know where you got it! 😄
sameee
scrolled down to the comments wondering the same thing
Same~~~ So cool!
Same
Honestly I think I'd enjoy Splatterhouse , it seems pretty fun .
That's because it IS fun!
@AT Productions As an added bonus, the included version of SplatterHouse 1 is the original version, not the altered TurboGrafx-16 version!
It is pretty fun. I enjoyed it.
It's not too hard to emulate the originals and the first 2 are very fun even if they're super simple
It is a legit good game. It was plagued by development problems and it shows in some parts.
The "dead guy" from Monster Party is pulled directly from an obscure Japan-only Bandai toyline called Gegebomajuu; a collection of model kits of weird one-off monsters. I guess they just tossed it in since they didn't have to pay for the license.
I know Jeremy Parish, the NES/Gameboy Works guy, talks about Goonies II a lot in relation to early "goonoidvanias"
Also Montezuma's Revenge!
But I've heard that he was pretty harsh with his reviews when he worked for a magazine
I love that you love "bad games" too, Uncle Derek.
Nice use of the Friday the 13th cabin theme during the monster party segment.
Thanks! It’s such a good creepy little song. But it’s also a little reference for me personally, I used that music during the Monster Party review I did years ago. Had to use it again.
Speaking of Friday the 13th, that's another NES game I think has a bad rep because of an AVGN review. Yeah, it has problems - particularly the nonstop monster faucet - but it actually has a very interesting underlying design. And I really think that if it had been published by *anyone* but LJN, it would remembered as a flawed-but-ambitious direct ancestor of the survival horror genre.
@@jasonblalock4429 plus Pacnsacdave managed to fix some of the problems with his three hacks of it.
;_; I found you. The one other person that's willing to admit they love Light Speed Rescue. My life is truly complete 😢
Journey Escape on the Atari 2600 has a version of "Don't Stop Believing" that plays over its title screen.
Weird thing, but I'm always surprised when people talk about Power Rangers Light Speed Rescue on N64, when the PS1 game is actually a pretty fun beatemup. It's definitely far from perfect, but it's worth giving it a shot in my opinion
I loved the old SNES and Genesis ones, especially those based on the movie. Even the Game Gear ones were good.
Also, the Famicom version of Goonies I had "Goonies R Good Enough" as well and that came out in 86.
Try Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for the playstation, the combat is more varied in that version and has the titanium ranger as a playable character.
"Huh, that Bullet Witch game SMELLS like Drakengard/Nier... Oh, it's a Cavia joint"
As a big oldschool Splatterhouse fan, I ate that remake up. And Monster Party is one of my favorite NES games period. So happy to see you constantly showing both love!
Hell yeah Monster Party! Just in terms of aesthetic, it's one of my favorite NES games. This is gonna sound pretentious, but I kind of consider it a surrealist art piece in a way.
Video title: MORE Bad Games that I LOVE.
Actual content: Lets revisit Happy Video Game Nerd contents!
I try to play Goonies 2 today as I love that game, too. I can't believe I actually beat it back in the day without a walkthrough or guide or anything. Doubt I could do it again.
JohnRiggs I used to walk my sister through the game. I can’t even walk myself in that game now.
I've always loved the positivity and upbeat vibe of this channel. Thank you Producer Grace and Uncle Derek! :D
I absolutely love the term "that's some good garbo" I doubt it will catch on but still I love it.
"no one sets out to make bad games" except ppl competing in kusoge jams! :D
I was like "what? monster party? that's not bad!" and then realised I was thinking only about the Japanese version. So that explains that, haha
Splatterhouse is underated. I played it a long time ago and it was pretty fun. I honestly didn't even notice any glaring flaws. Goonies II is a good platformer but The Irate Gamer ruined it for everyone (after doing some research) Face it! Breakfast is ruined!!!
It's a very good game, my main issue was the loading times when you died where soooooo long.
Solid video as always man. I love listening to your thoughts and perspective on games.
Great job these are some of my fav type of vids from you. I love finding odd games I havent heard of . Excellent video and job done . Cant wait for the next. Thank you :)
I called it "Goonsylvania" in my review. Me and you talked about "The Goonies II" on your twitch stream. :D
As a Power Rangers fan: No, the game has nothing to do with the show, although that might be for the best. I think even the foot soldiers in the game were different.
Also the Game Boy Color game is far better, and that should be an embarrassing statement to make.
Never played this one but did Play Time Force pretty much the same
Unfortunately the one thing the N64 was consistent with was putting out this kind of shovelware garbage.
We wouldn't see another Nintendo platform get so utterly swarmed with this kind of garbage until the Wii.
The foot solders were correct the monsters were not from the show. THQ had put out the junker power.rangers games. Banpresto did well with the MMPR to Turbo games.
As Piccolo from TFS once said
"NERD!"
I think your observations about reviews and reviewers at the start of your video is spot on. Honestly that’s something everyone needs to understand and remember with games.
I really loved Bullet Witch. Damn that plane boss in the sky though.
The Goonies II & Monster Party: The Jankiest Games ever to Jank in a Janky Jank Land!
This thumbnail tho 🤣🤣. Never stop making videos EVER 🙏
need more videos, I love tht this video is so long and you talk about games with a lot of passion
The most lighthearted youtuber who likes bad games and brings joy in in a lot of peoples life, thank you for being here on youtube! It is pleasant to see someone who is not overly outraged or angry at bad games (like a lot of youtubers i've seen in the past) and enjoys even the bad stuff, because it is hilariously stupid and somewhat fun to explore. Big thank you, for bringing joy!
What year did spy hunter come out? Would that qualify as an earlier cover?
Spy Hunter released in 1983
I *need* that Mega Man Legends shirt
It was on TheYetee, which I think is a shirt-of-the-day kind of deal. :(
i love how passionate derek is about games, and always rooting for the underdogs!
Absolutely love these videos! Thanks guys :)
I was always under the impression that The Goonies II was considered a beloved classic. Kind of thought I was the only one who didn't like it. Totally missed out on the anti-Goonies II CZcamsr wave.
Don't pick on me.
Undertale players: i ' v e h e a r d t h i s b e f o r e
I do what I want!
Lol jk
oh, man I like you're videos but this was GREAT! love how you're practically beaming when talking about these games. That and the off hand conversation with Grace(?) really lifts the show everytime :)
Ugh Derek & Grace, your videos are light in the darkness. Thanks for being great!
What I want to know is where I can get a Legends t-shirt like yours D:
You should try Lightspeed Rescue on the ps1! It's a different game, and it's cheap garbo too
Been with ya since HVGN. I really appreciate your videos. Your delivery and explanations are awesome. Most of all I appreciate your genuine love for games. Keep up the good work!
You know I subbed to this channel just when it was going through big changed with the update video and I gotta say I love content fro here a lot, always excited to see bad games this guy loves
I love how ridiculous this thumbnail is. Never clicked on a video so fast!
"Bad thumbnails that I love"
The PS1 and GBC versions of Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue are way better
All you're saying is that the N64 version is the worst port, and that checks out with what we know about Derek.
I had both of those. The PS1 version was so much fun with co op.
GBC power rangers was legitimately fun
"I was an imitator too"
Yeah you were, happy video game nerd! It's been awhile since I thought of that name.
Yeah but, does being an imitator count if it's a reverse imitation that went a mostly different direction over time?
@@plasmaoctopus1728 I dont know what you're asking, he literally said he was an imitator too. So, yes?
Awesome video, man! I have a lot of these 'bad loves' myself for the PS3 alone. From Lollipop Chainsaw to Killer Is Dead, Shadows Of The Damned to Castlevania: LOS 2, Splatterhouse is among my guilty pleasures of this era!
EDF isn't "so bad it's good", it's a fantastic shooter series and basically Serious Sam taken to the next level. Dynamite Cop (which you also said is horrible in the last video) is about as fantastic as arcade beat-em-ups get. Is God Hand a bad game for having campy presentation too? I've followed you since you started out & loved your videos so this irony poisoning is sad.
Edit: Gunblade is good too I didn't even notice you shat on it since I just skimmed the video
It's okay if you have that opinion of EDF. We will not discriminate against people with bad taste.
@@shadoom haha
@@shadoom you play pubg and minecraft
Anyone who considers Goonies 2 a bad game is a pleb of the highest order anyway.
Most of EDF is really good, just not 2017
One bad game I loved is Hidden and Dangerous. The fact I loved it makes me want to say it's not bad. But the controls are bad mostly the fault of the Dreamcast's controller and the frame rate is bad. again mostly down tot he Dreamcast. But it's a great game all the same. Oh and the game is kinda too easy with how easy it is to shoot enemies.
There is a PC version.
@@ShinoSarna I didn't know at the time.
The Bullet Witch segment made me think of Wet. Yes, that's the name of the game, just Wet. I guess SEO wasn't really a thing yet.
Anyway, it was a PS3/360 era game that basically tried to combine Max Payne's bullet-time shooting, Prince of Persia's acrobatic platforming, and Devil May Cry's character action scoring system. And it actually had some neat ideas on how it did that. Like, for example, your health refilled faster the higher your combo counter was, which encouraged you to play stylishly and aggressively even if you weren't going for a high score - something that was pretty refreshing in 2009, when most shooters had you spending half of each combat encounter hiding behind walls and waiting for your health to regenerate.
Also I find it funny how it's a game about bullet-time shooting that features sliding around on your knees as a key traversal mechanic, and it came out a full year before Vanquish.
But it was kinda janky and unpolished, the story was dumb, and it tried way too hard to be edgy. So I get why it reviewed poorly and sold worse. But it's still a game I think about a lot.
I see you with that Custom Robo music starting around 16:00. Excellent choice, my second favorite game
Rerez would probably like to have a word with you over Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
The load screen music in Dragon Warrior 2 is also a chip tune cover of a pop song. Look for"Love Song Sagashite." That game predates Goonies 2, but not Goonies 1 which also had the Cindy Lauper cover.
Mikie (1984) beats Goonies II for first officially licensed Chiptune Cover of a Pop Song! Specifically "Hard Day's Night" and "Twist And Shout" by the Beatles. They actually printed the license on the Circuit Board!
Earth Defense Force 2017 is exactly what every action shooter game needs to be. It follows the age-old DOOM adage, "plot in video games is like plot in a porno, it's there but it doesn't matter," to paraphrase (read: butcher). Even just the randomly-generated weapons, stupid amounts of explosions, and giant bugs flying hundreds of feet through the air only to get back up and spray you with acid on the higher levels should be enough for anyone to think that it's something special. I LOVED that game. Thanks for giving it a well-deserved shout-out!
Good stuff guys enjoyed it as always, keep it up!
I LOVE that abstract poster behind him. Very stylish,looks like an NES with arms and legs made from some nice shapes
I love it when people focus on what they love about games, it always brightens my day :)
Really enjoyed the exuberance in this episode! Bullet Witch always comes to my mind when I think of bad games that I enjoyed. Cavia also did Nier, which didn't get much appreciation until after they went under. EDF in co-op is phenomenal, and the cheese factor only makes it better.
The conversation about reviews only being part of the story reminds me all of the flak Jim Sterling got for Breath of the Wild review.
Heck, I just assume he talked about that because of a certain game that just came out recently but he didn't want to talk about it directly.
Goonies II on NES was my CHILDHOOD man! I played that so damn much with my cousin and we managed to beat it without guides and all that. Just as we did with other cryptic NES games like Zelda II. Thanks for giving me flashbacks to great times Derek
Winback reference. Respect. I introduced this to my friends in high school and we played it for HOURRRSS playing Prodigy in the background. Awesome
Please make more of these videos, they're the best.
The tiny fish with a shark fin on monster party slayed me. I absolutely CANNOT.
SOS: The Final Escape (Disaster Report in the US). It's a Playstation 2 survival game where you are stuck in a city being destroyed by an Earthquake.
it's full on jank up the ass with stiff controls, low budget graphics, terrible voice acting and the frame rate dips to the lower teens regularly but man is it a great game. I love it.
Your bit about Gunblade N.Y. and L.A. Machinegun’s Wii port was particularly eye opening for me for a very specific reason:
I’m a rail shooter/light gun game fanatic. I love the genre for it’s inherent simplicity + the ways devs try to build on that either with style/aesthetics, spicing it up with the odd gameplay deepener if they can, or augmenting it somehow with physical feedback. I am enough of a rail shooter/light gun game nut that I actively wish more of them got home ports and am more then happy to play them with controllers or a mouse (though obviously, a light gun is preferable), even in scenarios where certain things have to be sacrificed to make that happen. For example, I am enough of a House of the Dead 1 fanatic specifically that I willingly paid the ridiculously expensive price the PAL version of the Sega Saturn port goes for, despite the severe graphical downgrade (and odd bit of graphical corruption), the problems with lag and frame drops it incurs, and the mid-level load times that grind the action to a halt (which are an absolute death knell for rail shooters imho), because ultimately it was more accessible and still cheaper then buying an actual arcade machine, or trying (and likely failing) to get the much cheaper, much more polished if still downgraded PC port running on newer hardware.
But Joe and Jane public aren’t complete maniacs like me, with a very specific interest in the genre; to them, that all sounds like madness (and it probably is). To them, the appeal of games like Gunblade N.Y. and L.A. Machineguns, which did indeed rely on the physical feedback of those giant, hefty mounted machine gun and the impressive soundsystems to help sell the experience, is completely gone when that’s all pared back to a Wii controller and your probably much less sophisticated home sound system. If you’re not into the very, very basic gameplay- so basic in these two that you don’t even have to consider reloading- then they’ve gotta be dull as fuck and entirely pointless ports that serve very little purpose. Which is a perspective I honestly hadn’t considered until you raised it, as daft as that is to admit.
Gotta admit tho; even if you’re not wild about the games themselves, their soundtracks (composed by Virtual On’s main music dude Kentaro Kobayashi) are straight bops.
Carter from Lightspeed Rescue Is one of the Most Badass Red Rangers!!
"Oh great, Carter Grayson's here! Give him two guns and a bottle of water, and he'll take down the Armada in an hour!"
I wish I could be Derek's friend! He's such a nice guy. Thank you for the content, SSFF! You and Producer Grace are very fun to watch, and I always get excited with a new SSFF video! You're a light in a dark time.
man i finihsed my channel binge of your content and subbed a while ago.
I was starting to get worried about no vids.
Then I checked ur twitter and realized you were having sick dog problems. Hope LP is still doing good!
Great video mate. It's good to see Goonies 2 get some recognition.
Derek my man, you weren't an imitator you were an INNOVATOR. There were absolutely no Enemy Zero reviews on youtube for years except for yours!
One of my favorite activities is buying 4-5 bad games from a local shop for cheap and playing them with my friends.
Pryzm, Ballbreakers, a glitchy version of Family Feud where the audio messes up if you pause a bunch, etc.
Love me some garbage games.
Ironically the PS1 version of Lightspeed rescue is a completely different game entirely, its honestly pretty solid for a licensed video game, would recommend giving it a go.
Wow what a blast from the past. I remember your days from the Mr. Happy Video Game Nerd days. I was surfing for AVGN clones while I waited for episodes and thought you were cool cause you were the opposite of the other guys.
Speaking as a big Power Rangers dork; yes. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was about a bunch of horrible pastel flash cartoons dancing around while someones uncle went "YAAAY," and then the Blue Ranger said "HOW ABOUT SOME MEGAZORD ACTION ^_~"
EDF was AMAZING! I played that to completion with 3 other people.
2017 ?
I love the game just cause of how bad it is.
Ive been trying so hard to re-find this information about monster party and every time I find it I lose it again days later to the ravages of the internet. But here's a fun fact that's maybe true
So as far as i know the dead bug that goes "Sorry, I'm Dead" is one of the only monsters in monster party that didn't get censored. He's a parody of some kind of Japanese monster toy that was popular when the game came out, and it kinda looked like a dead bug, so they put him in the game as a joke. Then it got localized and nobody knew what to make of it and they just left it.
If anyone can back me up on this, I've been trying to keep this alive though folklore after I heard it on a very early /vr/ thread.
Another great video!
My personal pic for a „so bad its good“ game: Ryse: Son of Rome. It really hits all the right buttons for me, and I can see how there is a great idea beneath so much bad stuff, and still I can see how people won‘t like it xD
It honestly depends what you want with a game. I can overlook certain bugs and load screens if I enjoy the game and it's identity
One of the best series this channel has ever done.
Goonies II was awesome. First time I played it was in 2006, and I was stunned by how tight and responsive the controls were.
Gunblade is probably my 2nd favorite arcade game right behind Lucky & Wild.
I got lightspeed rescue for Christmas one year, and literally finished it that same day
Monster Party is a unique masterpiece. I really loved Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns in the arcade. The big recoiling machine guns were great. The arcade really was its own experience that you don't get often anymore.
Monster party was literally the first nintendo game I ever played. I got that and tetris with it for christmas. I tried monster party first. It was awesome. And like you, still one of my absolute favorite games, to this day. All those tricks you talk about, like milking hits from bosses is true, and you tend to pick it up naturally after you play it for a while, from the perspective of a first-timer.
Another great one - love you guys!
I always love how positive your videos are
