Drill Dozer is absolute gaming perfection, I just wish Game Freak would have been allowed to make more original titles like this, instead of only doing Pokémon games 99% of the time.
@NueThunderKing 8 ай бұрын
They were allowed and they failed miserably. Some higher ups need some serious shake up because the whole company is doing bad as a game developer even though ironically well financially.
@dariusq8894 7 ай бұрын
The rumble cartridge implementation alone is worth a play. Most games which use rumble features get boring very quickly, but Drill Dozer makes it feel like you're using a car gear shift which keeps the tactile experience exciting throughout the whole game.
@sentoworf 5 ай бұрын
They make original titles but they aren't very memorable, even the ones that are good. It doesn't help that Pokemon massively overshadows them. Tempo the Badass Elephant, Harmoknight, Pocket Card Jocket, Little Town Hero, and Giga Wrecker were all games they released after Drill Dozer. Most of these came out on other platforms too and they were still ignored.

Your Ecks vs. Sever section has footage for both Ecks vs. Sever (2001) which was based off of an early script of the film and Ballistic Ecks vs Sever (2002) which followed the theatrical release far more closely. Both are great though!

There was even an Ecks vs Sever 2 game despite the movie never getting a sequel. I find it funny.

I'm honestly surprised that you included Scurge: Hive, that game has insane production value for being a late GBA release and is also fun and content packed! It's basically the Shantae of the GBA, and Shantae Advance (a game that was announced 20 years ago, but never launched) is now coming back with a limited run somehow. And yet, I think it's insane that Scurge: Hive was lucky enough to see the light of day on the GBA, 2 years after the DS came out.

@vincenzomottola7778 7 ай бұрын
@@birdfish86 glad you liked it! I kinda wish it had gotten more love, but Ig most people just assumed it was a Metroid knock-off at first glance, but I think it's like calling Shantae a Zelda knock-off at first glance. Scurge did get a DS port, but I think the GBA version is more special, for context alone. Orbital really knew how to make a great game that pushed the GBA to its limits

I'm disappointed, but not surprised, that "Tomato Adventure" wasn't included. An RPG that stayed in Japan and had one of the most unique turn-based battle systems I'd ever experienced. Yes, it's in Japanese, though I believe there was no kanji, so all kana text. Still challenging for a non native speaker, but well worth a play.

Still can’t wrap my mind around Ecks vs. Sever. Granted good games based on bad movies aren’t unheard of, see Star Wars Episode I: Racer and Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (ok Pitch Black was decent, but Chronicles of Riddick was boring as hell), but a good game based on the early script of a bad movie? That’s a new one. Of course there is that Spy Hunter game based on the cancelled movie based on the arcade game, but from what I gather it’s mediocre
