He has no style, He has no grace, This Ape's made a great Escape!

That moment when Ant Dude gets to Ape Escape 2 first before Caddy

Who else remembers playing the Ape Escape mini game in Metal Gear Solid 3? That was my favorite part of the game

*sees Gamechamp in an Antdude video* "That's it, I can die happily"

The original version had Spike & Professor voiced by The King of Games / Echidna himself, Dan Green. This game had some familiar 4kids voices, so it was cool to me as a kid.

2:38 “Gotta catch ‘em all” **main protagonists sound like Ash and Misty** _Coincidence?_

I’m so happy with your new thumbnails my guy! Whoever makes them deserves like, a bazillion dollars.

Such an underrated ps2 gem. There should be a rerelease with all three ape escape games.

Omg YES

Wow, Jimmy's voice really IS Ash Ketchum.

"I was expecting Sony to announce anything Ape Escape" Could be worse, there are people expecting Rare to announce anything worthwhile.

Someone FINALLY acknowledges that games other than ape escape 1 exist!

I really just want ape escape remaster such good game

AntDude has been getting super polished lately. This channel's future is looking pretty bright! Keep it up!

I think an ape escape remake would be interesting because it’s much more of a Japanese art style. Especially the human characters. I just hope it is more then a remaster. Also I was gonna say they look like Pokémon characters but that’s just Veronica Taylor and Rachel Lillis

"Oh my goodness, I can finally race as Flan." *Muffled U.N. Owen Was Her in the distance*

Man I do love playing these games while listening to Gorillaz.

Thank you for the #ApesWillEscape shoutout! And I love your vid ♥

I remember as a kid I went to blockbuster with my mom and rented this game and I couldn’t stop playing this game. I’m so happy I remember the name of the franchise

I love how they dedicate a whole game to vacuuming monkey pants, and start the very next game with a mass monkey pants delivery. 😂

Ape Escape 1 was my first experience using joysticks on a home console. I had to buy a ps1 controller with sticks to play it. Prior to this game I had never seen a controller with joysticks. It's a vivid memory from childhood.

I freaking love this game. Favourite in the series

Great video! I'm super glad to see more people talking about the Ape Escape games beyond the first one! 2 is kind of underrated.

T. . . TOP... BANANA?! no...noooo **ARGH** * epileptic vietnam flashbacks ensue *

I often called the "Gimmicked Monkeys" "Costume Monkeys" since that's what they are. Going from Monkeys dressed as knights with a shields and swords, Clown Monkeys that spit fire at Jimmy/Hikaru, and some just have costumes that like Ant says, are related to the level itself. Since this was my first Ape Escape game as a kid (I had the PS4 Port) it was pretty unique and fun all around. When I went back to play On The Loose, I got to see a few different mechanics and fun little minigames like the boxing minigame. Though having to collect enough Specter Coins to unlock them just felt like a pain in the neck to do, ESPECIALLY when you sometimes may need a new Gadget to reach them.

Yes !

Ape Escape 2 on the PS2 is apparently a rare game now

I absolutely loved these games as a kid

Funny how I'm in the middle of playing Ape Escape 2 for the very first time, and then this happens. While I do enjoy it, I feel Ape Escape 2 doesn't quite capture the same charm the first game did, whether it be the music, the gameplay or the visuals.

Ape Escape was my first exposure to the anime artstyle when I was a kid. Now I want to see a full blown anime series about it.

Yessssss, my favorite one!!! This one is the one I played first, such nostalgia. Thank you.

I remember playing this game back in 2017 it honestly was my favorite game that I played that year, so I'm glad you're finally reviewing it!

Next thing you know, a new game called “Kong Kapture”

The electromagnet has some interesting ideas "attached" to it.

I played Ape Escape 2 quite a bit as a kid. My grandma had a ton of games at her house and she got AE2 after her copy of AE1 (which I also played a lot of) broke. I got my own copy in 2015/2016. I fell in love with it all over again and beat it 100% 6 times in under a month when I got it, 3 as Jimmy and 3 as Spike. I love the graphics, the music, and it has some of my favorite levels in the trilogy. Jimmy is also my favorite of the AE protagonists, like his design the most. I haven't played the PS4 re-release, the UK voice acting kinda turned me off. I actually completely forgot they pronounced Pipotchi differently in the UK dub. It's my favorite Ape Escape, one of my favorite platformers, and one of my favorite games of all time. I'm glad to see you cover it, peope don't talk about the sequels that often.

I love the recognition you are giving Ape escape! I cant wait for you to review the third one! I like it much more than the second one!

Great video as usual. Cant wait for you Ape Escape 3 video! That was my favorite.

My favourite game ever. I just subbed to your channel because you talked about this masterpiece

My god Ape Escape 2 is childhood for me. Played it all the time on the PS2.

Im really digging the new design on your thumbnails, keep up the great work!

Aside from hype for the Recaptured Trilogy, whenever they announce THAT, I'm hyped for someone in this day and age to FINALLY talk about Ape Escape 3, my childhood Ape Escape game, aside from the demo of Ape Escape 1 on a Pizza Hut Demo Disk (yeah, remember when THOSE were a thing?). #ApesWillEscape

I quite like tej added formed of characteristics to the new videos thumbnails the reviews are simple and effective and I still as always adore your content Mr Ant!

dude ape escape 2 was the first game i ever fully completed! i loved the game so much, i still have my copy of the third game i got when it first came out! cant wait until you cover the third game

0:11 hey man, this is an image that can carry us through

Wasn't aware the second one was available on the PS4 until now! That's my favorite, thanks a bundle!

That moment when you watch an Antdude video and then he uploads one exactly after

Feel like you should have more subs than you have, your content is well made and well written. Good job ant dude you are my dude for retro reviews and gaming keep it up bro :)

My favourite series! lool forward to this video

The Monkey Soccer minigame was my favorite of the minigames here when I was a kid, although I could never beat the final level in it. That aside the main game is fun and enjoyable. Also the reason the names are different in the EU version is because those are their original japanese names-the NA versions of the AE games changed them to be Americanized.

I refuse to play AE2 if they don’t sound like Ash and Misty. It was my favorite part when I played it as a kid!

the wait continues as the blessings and hype rain down upon us. at this point, no matter how long we wait, it's guaranteed to return and I love it!

I'm liking the new thumbnail art! Looking good

I was so addicted to the gatcha machine

I love the ape escape games !!

Awesome video

Yo I love these thumbnails man

Even on shitty days even when i just got hit by a car you always put some kind of smile on my face

Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail and I though that a new ape escape was coming out. Great Video and my hopes are still there for the series

Dude I love your art for the videos

While I think AE3 was better, AE2 was really fun for what it was.

Can't wait for Ape Escape 3 review!

I absolutely love these thumbnails

I love this type of content. It’d be cool to see a video by you on Gitaroo Man.

but honestly, i would prefer an Ape Escape 4 over a remake any day lol.

Me: Ape E- Sony: *P A N T S*

Can't wait for you to talk about ape escape 3 cuz that was the first one I played and the first game I actually completed

Lovin the new thumbnails btw

FINALLY!!!!! AE2!!! Bro, I love this game! Still play it on PCSX2 and even almost mastered the moon crawl glitch!

Easily my favorite of the trilogy

It's probably gonna to lead to something even bigger. Like a new game. I love ape escape I liked playing it a lot on my psp when I was little so it's cool to see more about the franchise it seems to be very fun. Thanks for these videos.

Ape Escape is one my favorite games of all time.

Oh dear god... My childhood... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love Ape Escape 2 so much lol.

I only ever played the ape Escape demo on the Pizza Hut discs but I loved that demo as a kid

EU specter had like the best voice in the second game, he sounded so cool to me. I RLY loved the music in some of the final levels too, they were banging

Wow, i saw that Crash Bandicoot Switch holder statue... thing, like, yesterday, and thought "Hey look at that! Looks like something Antdude would like" AND LO AND BEHOLD. THERE IT IS. HOW.

I just watched your first Ape Escape video again yesterday. What are the odds!?

This was my first ape escape game

When he clasps his hands in front of his face , go Anthony

One of the new gadgets, the water cannon, can actually heal your damaged vehicles. Neat little hint I got from that ball machine shop

You forgot that spike has a bonus gadget

Whenever I want to ponder something, I just watch one of your videos because you don't have to listen to these.

Ah this game my favourite out of the three.

This is the only guy on the internet who actually looks exactly like his little anime avi

Ape Escape 3 is the best one, so im lookin forward to that video!

Thats amazing how the 2 characters are voiced by ash and misty

That ending hit hard.

What's funny though is despite the PAL version of Ape Escape 2 being the only English version of the game on the PS4, the trophies still reference the PS2 American version with one of them using the name Jimmy. I guess the whole weird thing with Ubisoft distributing the American PS2 release is why Sony opted to stick with the PAL version on PS4, but I still wish there was at least an option to play the American version instead just so people like me (people who grew up on early Pokemon) can hear the original voices of Ash and Misty in something that's not Pokemon.

I swear the new drawn thumbnails are like looking at heaven!

great pacing in this video

Why is this not the biggest gaming channel on KZfaq yet?

OMG I love Ape Escape. I played( (watched my brother play) with my brothers. I played the second one before the first.

Thanks once again!

Ant Dude!!! I'm literally Playing this game right now!!! WHY ARE YOU STALKING ME!!!!

I have Ape Escape 2 but only that one. I love it though.

11:10 Gotta admit, that's still more than some franchises got. At least they cared... enough.

If it didn't get remade you can rely on us to remake skyrim again. A fair trade off I would say

So here's my history with Ape Escape, got it for Christmas on PS1, played it until I got to T-rex level, kindly out it back in its case and never played it again lol🤣

There needs to be more antdude videos

They’re finally here, escaping from you. If you wanna catch them, you can join in too. Put your hands together, if you wanna clap. Let’s go give those apes a nap. Huh! AE, ape escape.
