Huh? I've always pressed C to butt bounce in Castle of Illusion. I rarely ever press down. You might be referring to when we talked about Fantasia which ONLY lets to press down and not C.
The original Monkey Island games and their "Special Edition" remakes were outstanding. They got the original voice cast from the '96 Curse of Monkey Island to fully voice act the silent classics along with faithful, all hand drawn graphics of the entire games.
These are my 2 favourite remakes of all time. So much love and care of the original material is very rare these days.
you guys inspired me to buy my own set of retro consoles, including nes, snes and a megadrive, with some of the games you've been talking about. It sure was worth it. Thx, Joe and Dave, you're an amazing duo!
Another great episode! I've no idea how you're able to review & splice footage of so many games every fortnight. I've the opposite opinion of Flashback (SNES), I loved it to bits, I didn't bother playing the remake as it was universally panned. Hearing your take on it makes me wanna get it.
The ending was hilarious as always. I liked when Dave was swiping all Joes super rare games because they were frustrating.
I like how you guys come back mid-video to break things up. I watch a lot of these 'top ten/compilation' style videos, and most people just show footage all the way through & it can get a little fatiguing. Fine work.
That comparison shot at 5:23.
Encapsulates my childhood so much. So many feelz. I love you Gamesack
That Ducktales remake.....brings a tear to my eye. Love it.
Same here, and I actually got misty-eyed hearing the original voices of the characters from the cartoon series in the game such as Alan Young and June Foray (both of whom had passed away in 2016 and 2017 respectively, BTW).
@@sonicmario64 Hey, I maybe 6 months late to tell you this but, DuckTales Remastered is not available on Steam anymore as the licensing agreement between Capcom/Wayforward & Disney has expired.
And of course they play The Moon Theme Song which is why I also like Ducktales
When my sister dies I'm going to steal her from the hospital and nobody will ever notice!
I know this is an old episode and I'm late to this but the Symphony of the Night port in Dracula X Chronicles is actually a semi-updated version that added back in the Maria boss fight from the Saturn version and improved voice acting
+Tristen Roccaforte Dracula X Chronicles is a PSP Remake masterpiece. That Maria Artwork is a classic!
i wouldn't call it "improved" but yeah, that guy got a lot of things wrong
Maria is back, but it's different from the Saturn version.
Gotta say, this is one of the best-produced retro gaming channels on CZcams. Great editing and video quality. Keep up the good work, fellas! You deserve a million subscribers.
Resident Evil Remake, arguably the best video game remake I have ever had the chance to play :D
This was probably one of the best episodes you've done so far. Really good jobs guys! Can't wait for episode 100!!!
Fantastic episode! So glad Metroid Zero mission was there!
I just got in a car wreck today and I was feeling really down. As soon as I saw that you guys had a new episode, I was so pleased. This is exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Thanks guys.
I really love your show guys, one of my favorites on youtube!
and glad to see Castle of Illusion made the list.
Resident Evil Remake for the Gamecube is the remake of all remakes. If you haven't then you should play it.
totally agreed, it transforms the entire experience
I stopped very early buying games that aren't playable off the harddisc with no online requirement for the very reason that you never know when it's taken down making your purchase null and void.
I'm definitely getting the physical copy of Duck Tales.
Thanks for another great episode, guys.
If you're talking about games that have some sort of online requirement for single player, I see your point, because if the servers are taken down or whatever, then your disc would then be useless. But if you mean something like Ducktales or Reshelled... then I do not see.
Had you purchased Reshelled, for example, you would still now have access to it, where the rest of us plebes would not.
Rondo of Blood is my favorite Castlevania game, and although the remake was a tad underwhelming, I'm glad they rereleased the original. It deserves a lot of attention, and packing it with Symphony is an ingenious move.
You guys are doing a great job. Watching your show brings back a lot of memories.
Ididn't knew that The monkey King on the Wii was a remake. And you are the first person I heard that liked Flashback on the XBOX.
FF1 & 2 on the GBA were great remakes, and Metroid Zero Mission was one of the best remakes ever along with Resident Evil Remake.
Dug the Fugazi reference at 20:59
It is always a great pleasure to see your videos. Without a doubt the best retrogaming channel on CZcams!
Thanks for another great episode Joe & Dave. Gamesack never fails to cheer me up.
You CAN crouch in the later Mega Man games... it is called the slide. :)
Well that's not a crouch asshat
Super Mario All-Stars, what a great collection, loved all the games but super mario bros 3 was by far my favorite.
Another one if you guys ever get the chance to check out is Wild Arms Altered Code f. it's a remake of the original on PS1. Not only a great remake but actually better than the original
The "hyper-cute" super-d Mega Man appeals to me, and i'm not a pre-teen girl. Kawaii is massive in Japan; there's no stigma about finding cute illustrations appealing. It's human nature.
I agree about Castle of Illusion. The original was one of my favourite games as a kid, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out excellent! I play the same way, too; d-pad thru the majority of the game, and switching to analogue stick for the 3D parts.
I also miss the butt bump, but I love the narration, personally. It's very Disney.
I've not played Ducktales yet; i've been waiting for the physical release to spare my HDD.
I agree with people who said if you ever do a part 2 to include GC Resident Evil and Twin Snakes.
Also the FFIII remake and Double Dragon Neon are both good.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed was an amazing remake. You guys should've included it in your video. In another note, the Flashback remake reminds me a lot of Shadow Complex. Is it from the same developer?
Flashback original was MUCH better than the remake. All the charme is gone - and belive it or not, controls where good, managed to play it through on snes and mega drive... Sorry, you missed something here, for its time this one was epic.
Do you think he just never made it onto that ledge?
I've heard the same on multiple reviews that the remake is bad which is why I never bothered with it.
The best Flashback experience you can have is to play it on the Genesis. The Super Nintendo version might have slightly better graphics or sound "as it does with most games". However, the Super Nintendo version suffers from slow down during cutscenes. Flashback on the Genesis is one of my personal favorites on the system. I'm not a huge fan of the the Genesis as a whole though so maybe that isn't saying much. As for the remake, I've never played it myself so I can't speak for its controls, etc. I've watched gameplay footage though and was annoyed enough by the "talkie" voice they gave your character that it made me not care to play it.
Thank you!
Another great episode guys, seems like they are always getting better! I can't wait to see you two come back to this topic one day.
I love your channel guys. You guys remind me of how my buddy and I are, and reliving these games is awesome.
first game reviewer ive seen say the new flashback was better let alone good :S
Got the Monkey King for 1.50 on Gamestop. Best deal ever :P
this show is amazing.
always wait for the new episodes to look!!!
By the way, despite your peculiar scripted acting, you guys make some of the best gaming videos. You guys are both thorough and descriptive. Keep it up ok? :)
You missed also Prince of Persia
Ye missed Bionic Commando Rearmed !!!
another great episode guys!! can't wait for the next one.
This is perhaps one of the best analogies I've yet heard!
Sega CEO : Ey guys do you put the butt stomp on the remake?
Sega Australia: huh nope
Sega CEO : well we are not to gonna put more money on this studio then
Yes that was kind of his joke :)
Good to hear it again though
A bit late but, if you guys make another Remake themed episode, I would suggest covering the Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid remakes for the Gamecube. Both excellent remakes and in many ways superior to the originals.
+Manny Akintunde never got to play the MGS remake but the Resident Evil remake was fantastic.
Armageddon3035 Yep! That game was fantastic.
+Manny Akintunde the Metal Gear Solid remake on the Game Cube plays very well and it feels more modern than the old version, but the cutscenes have been made super silly, and they didn't redesign the boss fights around you being able to aim in first person, so it's kind of a toss up if you want graphics where characters actually have faces and eyes, or if you want the more low-key experience that is properly designed.
MGS remake is the Matrix, and REmake is basically RE1 without the terrible voice acting.
Giordan Diodato LOL Twin Snakes does have some Matrix like moments.
The code and the graphics are from the PS1 version. A few things were changed around, sure, but the assets are all from the PS1. But really, that's not a game we were covering in this episode. We just mentioned it's there. The XBLA download version had horribly compressed sound to fit the 80MB or so limit they had at the time. This version doesn't.
I love you guys sooooo much. Everytime you release a new episode the world becomes just a little bit better. No, a lot. I am waiting for your 100th episode so all wars will end and most of the pollution will disappear. Thank you. Joe and Dave. Gods walking the earth.
Physical media FTW
MEGAMAN X remake to MEGAMAN MAVERICK X?
One reason I love your channel is because, unlike most video game CZcamsrs, Joe is not a full blown sissy.
I wish you covered the Super Mario Advanced series on the GBA. But I love what you did Gamesack. This was a good video for sure.
Do super mario 64 ds
"Nintendo loves its fans" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Great video as always. You also always find great topics for your videos, I hope you do another one on remakes.
Those graphics in the Flashback remake might be the best 2.5D graphics I've ever seen
8:58 Sing some of the lyrics?! I know 'em all!
Morphine makes the holy known (Uncle Lina)
Eyeing up down that sappy nun (Uncle Lina)
I'm going to stroke it
Your arms are broken
UNCUT - OH OH
I'll stop now.
For the record I agree that Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles was cheaply made believe it or not a hell of alot of other games are being made like that. Worst one is Mirror of Fate, Judgement, and Lords of Shadow its kinda sad really. It makes the puzzle game of Castlevania look better then anything.
Ahhh Fugazi. I loved them back in the day. And Minor Threat before that and the other band Ian was singing for, forgot the name.
absolutely love your show!
Thumbs up if you own both versions of "Super Mario All-Stars" on the SNES and Wii! ;D
Castlevania dracula x chronicles kicked ass. freakin purists man, everything new's gotta suck right?
Personally, just from looks, the game is pretty ugly. I have to give them that. But it looks fun.
The new "final form" boss fight for Dracula is worth it alone. I like both versions, but I always thought that for such a tough game Dracula was pretty easy in Rondo of Blood.
I would love a sequel to this episode!
don't worry, you guys are still the best. absolutely fantastic.
Flashback? really? Think they were a bit short on games because Flashbacks controls were TERRIBLE, the graphics are TERRIBLE and worst of all, the game is FILLED WITH BUGS!
Unplayable.
I know these guys are all like "ooooh 90! Those are the only remakes we can make. Sega genesis and NES/SNES ONLY!!!" F*CKING HELL!!!
Dunno why they didn't include Black Mesa for Half-life...
I didn't feel that Flashback controlled terrible at all. Sure, it controls nothing like the original, but I thought it was more intuitive. The graphics were pretty good for a downloadable game. They didn't have that low-budget feel that a lot of download-only games do. And if there are any bugs int he game that make it unplayable I certainly didn't encounter any. I honestly don't understand why this game gets so much hate, but must conclude that the hate comes mostly from fans of the original.
Indeed. I REALLY hated the way the new one controlled plus never had i have a game crash on me on my Xbox BEFORE Flashback :l
Ummmm, Black Mesa is fan made and incomplete as of now. They'll add more content soon.
Game Sack Just had too tell you too make that jump on the second level of Flashback just run off the end without pressing anything else, you automatically jump it. Give it another go it's great. Keep up the good work !
They don't do PC games. They only do various consoles.
Maybe it's because I didn't play it for years after its initial release but am I the only one who thinks the Mario All Stars Pack is actually a really ugly looking remake?
I think that to.
could they have at least added an original graphics mode?
I actually like it but for the rerelease they should have changed the graphics again and perhaps given a choice of 3 different graphics modes.

Blind fan boys drink nostalgia.
Zachary Hastings I wouldn't say "ugly," but not ideal, in my opinion. Also, the controls for the original 3 games feel a little too floaty and slippery compared to the originals, or is that just me?
Zachary Hastings Don't think you could call it ugly, maybe you could call it off the mark a bit. But SMB2 (on All Stars) looks and sounds better in every way.
Best show on the CZcamss, keep em coming.
Nothing makes me more happy than sitting down with some snacks and finding out that a new Game Sack episode is out!
Also good on you guys for changing your name from MrGameSack to just Game Sack! It was a bit off! lols
Flashback was fucking awful.
Awesome. Sauce.
UndeadAirwaves I loved the original, that and another world were 2 of my favourite games
I love the long videos, guys. Perfect background noise but very distracting! Lol
After seeing videos of the Dracula X remake, I knew I would be avoiding this game. Then I found out about the translated original game and SOTN included, and I was sold.
Metroid Zero Mission was awesome, I agree there.
For the next Remakes, there are all those versions of early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games out there.
Keep doing lookback videos like this, they're educational.
Cloud Master was one of my favorite games when I was growing up.
Re: Flashback...THAT jump!! That particular jump drove me insane back in the day!! From what I heard, that was so called "protection jump". You had to jump and then push up (jump) once again in mid air to jump higher. In those days...without internet...it was so hard to figure out!!!
Dracula X Was such a good game, I can't believe it took me til 2008 to play it... My favorite Castlevania by far
DUMPSTERF1LM If that's the case you owe it to yourself to play Rondo of Blood for the TG-16/PC-Engine. Dracula X unfortunately was heavily censored, but still a fun game.
Since you guys are obviously very into retro gaming, and collecting, I think it'd be awesome if you did an episode on how someone new to the hobby could get started. What are some systems that aren't too hard to get ahold of? What are some of the cheapest/most common games for the more exotic systems? What are the best places to buy online? What are common pitfalls? Where do you recommend a new collector start?
Holy crap I have been waiting for this episode! :D
I bought the Ducktales remake for my Wii U the other day, already beat it twice and am going to do it a few more times yet. So well done.
great work guys its was fun watching this episode
nice... you guys are the best . thanks for your episodes....is very difficult to make one of those episodes thanks from dominican republic
I love your show! Keep up the good work.
Regards from Germany
Another great episode!
Once again, fine work, fellas.
i still love your videos,best on the net.
Another great episode guys.
I was totally creepin on your page. Im a huge fan of the show and needed to know more about you guys. 41 is not so bad at least you got to live through all of the gaming generations. Im 29, so while I remember NES/Master system, the genesis/SNES was right in my wheel house.
I tried to sing along with the Ducktales theme but it wasn't the part I thought it would be and all of my friends laughed at me and now hate me as a result of my poor attempt to sing the Ducktales song. Thanks A LOT Game Sack.
this is the episode I've been waiting for :)
I actually thought about suggesting something like this, a couple of times. don't know if you take suggestions, though.
anyway, great job, as always.
You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work.
"Hello and welcome to Game Sack!" I love this phrase!
When you have a 12 hour work day just sitting behind a computer. A lot of Gamesacking is going down. Thanks guys!
Oh snap. Must have missed that. Watching it now.
Great episode guys. One of my favs. And just like that Amazon sells out of every last copy of the Monkey King. I'd be interested in an episode where you guys cover games on modern consoles that are done in the style of 8-bit/ 16-bit games. So basically any game with shooters like Monkey King or platformers that would play similarly on the snes or genesis.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos very much.
I wouldn't say that. Check out Luigi on the TV behind us in the opening camera segment. The first Luigi is from the original SMB game. The second one is from All Stars. Everything has been completely redrawn.
Thanks. Don't let those memories die.
Yes! You speak the truth my man. Even though I get enjoyment out of a digital copy of a game I feel like I'm still missing out on something and that something is the thing I can't put on my shelf and admire.
i have to admit i had low spectations due to the flood of indie ordinary remakes we live.
But this episode cover all. The flashback one even made me considering buy it.
Wow. I love Game Sack! I am very Interresed in those old Consoles and this Show is Just Gold for Everyone like me :3
Awesome, welcome and I hope you enjoy the rest of out vids. :)
hope you guys cover more of the sega ages ps2 games in the next remake episode, great video as always!
I just read recently that David Wise is back doing the soundtrack for Tropical Freeze. I'm looking forward to it even more now.
Joe are you guys going to do a "making of" Game Sack video? That would be a good 100th episode. Love the show and I still think its awesome that you started editing for the Video game years.
You guys are awesome, Great video!
I thought you'll show Sega Space Harrier and their remake.
An amazing game for any version if it's the Sega Master System, Genesis, Arcade (of course) and the remakes! I'm still humming the amazing music :)
Saw sooooo many neat piercings at a Fugazi show in Victoria BC. Muffin topped punk girls were everywhere, it was heaven
