What are other Konami games I forgot about cause I know you're gonna write em down so do it here.

"I wish I may, I wish I must Find a princess before I bust!" Jesus Christ

"Whatever they did with Carmilla" You mean besides convince 19 year old me to pick up the game when it first came out?

"A woman? Wouldn't know anything about that." You cut me deep, game...

When I was in high school I asked my parents for FFX for Christmas, they got me Frogger: The Great Adventure instead.

To be fair, Contra had a game last gen, it just didn't have "Contra" in name: "Hard Corps: Uprising"

Never heard of this "Konami"

I played Shadow of Destiny and I'm sure I speak for everyone else who has when I say that I greatly appreciated the choice of game footage when talking about "oh snap" moments. That twist had to be my favourite part of the whole game.

Say whatever you want about Castlevania Judgment, but the metal arrangements they did of those classic themes are amazing.

Omg, I wasn't expecting to see Shadows of Destiny! I haven't played that game since my 1st year of high school!

'I wish i may, i wish i must, find a princess before i bust" XD

Contra was a great series, hearing about it and seeing gameplay of it is nostalgic

Shadow of Destiny needs a HD remake.

Shadows of Memory will never be forgotten. It's a game that was amazing back then and I think of it sometimes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA FROGGER THE GREAT QUEST!! I used to LO V E this game as a kid glad it made it's way into this video lolol

I remember picking up Shadow of Destiny at a garage sale for $5 back in the early 00's . . . still one of my favorite pickups to this day.

Suikoden and rumble roses will forever remain my favorite Konami series

My God that Sega pico shout out warmed my heart. I still have mine with my huge collection of two games, including tails music maker and the busy world of Richard scary. Bless you Austin for the memories

And here I thought I was the only one who remembered Castlevania: Judgement, it's worse then I remember but I still somehow had fun with it back in the day. Also loving that sweet Makoto shirt!

Frogger: The Great Quest, Spyro: enter the dragonfly and Treasure Planet were the games that I got with my PS2 as a 5 year old in 2002. *As you can guess, I played the shit outta Treasure Planet*

You did it, you found a perfect excuse to talk about Sparkster. Talk more about Sparkster.

Best line from anime fighting games "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?!"

That "Weird Multiplayer Thing" was Castlevania Harmony of Despair and it was really good...I think.

Shadow of Memories is dope. Shenmue prepared me for such an experience as a kid and I loved how atmospheric and creepy it was.

I have many a vague memory of my little sister and I playing Frogger The Great Quest on Saturday mornings when our dad let us on the PS2

Haven't thought about Shadow of Destiny in a long time. When I was 18, I picked it up from the discount bin from a Big Lots for $3 along with Darwinia. I don't remember too much other then I loved the hell out of it and got all the ending because I HAD to see them. Yeah, the VO is not great but the story. Also, I had no idea Time Hollow was it's spiritual successor but that makes sense. I also love Time Hollow.

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one that knew about Tornado Outbreak.

Shadow of Destiny, I haven't thought of that in over 15 years...wow.

Funny story about Castlevania Judgement. After listening to Quarter Guy and GreenScorpion talk about it. I got curious and got the game for 3.99. I played it for a day or two, even got a friend over to play after convincing him via gunpoint. Technically, yeah it’s a mess. But you can’t deny that this game gets some points for allowing us to do some of our Castlevania dream matches. Simon vs Trevor, Cornell vs Alucard, etc.

Sees frogger in the thumbnail *Childhood flashbacks damage my mental state...*

Welp, now I gotta draw Zephyr the cute wind boy... Thanks alot Austin.

I subscribed to this channel because Austin fondly remembered an obscure game from my childhood that I forgot again. I really like your videos.

No Monster Maulers / Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn ? That game is so forgotten that even Konami never mentioned it in list of created games even in the early 2000's

Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive etc. are 3D fighting games, Castlevania Judgement and Power Stone are Arena Fighting games, common mix up though, no biggie

Shadow of Memories is AMAZING.

Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra (both for the PS2) are pretty forgotten as well, but unlike the PS1 Contras, they are awesome. Konami actually proved Contra 3D could be good with Neo Contra, but by that point nobody seemed to care about the franchise anymore. Other forgotten Konami titles that are actually good are Crisis Force (probably the best Nes shmup), Vandal Hearts, Kensei: The Sacred Fist, Getsu Fuuma Den and Soul of the Samurai

The voice acting may be bad in Shadow of Destiny, but at least the dog got a fair shake. It's probably the best actor of the bunch.

If anyone wants to try Shadow of Destiny (Shadow of Memories) go and check the PSP version or the Orginal Xbox version, they changed the protagonist's voice and some other things, i recommend the PSP version thou.

I like Castlevania Judgment's character designs. They're chalk full of style and are memorable. I show you a picture of its roster and you know what game it's from.

I only know about Shadows of Destiny because of the Super Gaming Brothers LP. It really is such a weird hidden part of Konami's legacy.

I was on the test team for Tornado Outbreak. The game was originally called Zephyr: Rise of the Elementals, but retailers such as Wal-Mart pressured the devs into changing the name, for the worse in my opinion. The team was an offshoot from Sucker Punch, as you can see that the art style is notably similar to Sly Cooper. Konami happened to be the publisher that decided to take the game to market. They were not involved with the creation of the game.

Shadow of Destiny got a redub for its PSP rerelease that seemingly no human being played, Eike is voiced by Yuri Lowenthall there if memory serves.

I’d likely never would have heard of Shadow of Destiny/Memories if it wasn’t for that one SGB playthrough that game was so unintentionally hilarious.

Shadow of Destiny on the PSP had a recast, replaced Eike's old voice with Yuri Lowenthal. That guy did it really well

Just bought that Shadow of Destiny game, was the last copy I could find here in a Dutch store lol. Maybe this will become a cult classic and be higly sought after once this video has been out for a while haha

Hey look, someone remembers Shadows of Memories

That frogger game was the princess and the frog before it was a thing lol

Frogger himself under the mask of Death is a clear reference to the cave from Star Wars when Luke saw himself under Vader's mask :-)

I just want to point out the Castlevania Judgement doesn't get enough credit in my opinion. Sure it's a bit of a broken mess but I find the art style really endearing and it was a genuine attempt at doing a 3D brawler via power Stone. This was a passion project by Koji igarashi after getting pressure to do a Wii exclusive Castlevania game. It's actually pretty Dynamic how each character interact with each other based on where they fit in the lore and I really dug the art style by the same dude who did Death Note. People complain that the Art Direction and thought it was weird but I thought it was a cool and interesting take on it as opposed to doing the classic Ayami designs. Also fun fact you can link judgment in the Wii to your Castlevania order of Ecclesia in your DS buy a Nintendo connection and it unlocks Shanoa as a playable character as well as unlocking rare items in order of Ecclesia. The combat just feel a bit broken sometimes but conceptually I think it was really cool and if it ever got it's equal which I know it never will it could have had a lot of potential.

SHADOWS OF DESTINY! Dude, that game was great. It was this hidden gem I just happen to download playing on a PSP and it was so good.

I was literally just thinking about this Frogger game yesterday! God I want to play it again.

Shadow of Destiny is pretty great, but I do recommend you play the PSP version if you can. For whatever reason the voice acting in the PSP version is better than the PS2 version.

"lets move into 2020" Nah don't do that...

While I was playing murdered: soul suspect, I couldn't help but think of this obscure game I watched my brother play with a similar concept but couldn't remember anything about it but little flashes of what it looked like... It was Shadow of memories! Thank you so much :D

As a kid I played this animaniacs game on the Sega Genesis made by Konami the thing that I remember most is the Dracula fight that he uses Castlevania Dracula fireball tactics

Hey there's a time travelling murder mystery game called The Sexy Brutale, it's pretty solid I think it might be what your looking for when you say you want someone to revisit Shadow of Destiny's concept.

It's by no means the worst thing Konami is doing with their IPs, but that Shadow of Destiny game sounds awesome and absolutely would benefit from a remake. There are never enough time travel mystery games.

World Record holder for Castlevania: Judgement here, and I can confirm everything that has been said about it in this video. Also the music is killer, so I guess I put up with it.

17:25 that's obviously a Persona 2 reference.

You should look into Boktai. I know it's not that obscure, having most of its games released in the West, but the most I hear it being referred to as "that game where you need sunlight" or "that game that linked up to Megaman Battle Network."

Hearing Frogger and the great quest mentioned gave me war flashbacks

Oh I remember Frogger: The Great Quest. I actually had that game while I was growing up 😩

I ALWAYS saw Gba Frogger on the shelfs of game stores back in the day

I was wondering why Simon Belmont looked like that in DreamMix TV World Fighters.

Oh wow. Shadow of destiny was one of my favorite games as a teen. I spent hours figuring out everything. Thanks for covering it.

Ngl I dig the mix of sprites and 3D environments in that Contra game, am I broken 😳😳

Right off the bat... The starting music hit me right in the feels.

I remember the ds frogger game wasn't bad. It was essentially a puzzle platformer that still used the classic's grid styled movement. If anything the multiplayer games were fun with the right crowd

I remember playing Shadow of Destiny when I was younger, though I forgot what it was called or that it was a Konami game. My favorite Konami game though, HAS to be Azure Dreams. I mean, it is a dungeon-crawling, monster catching, roguelike with dating sim stuff. It is everything people love about the Persona series long before the Persona series was doing that stuff (at least, in that way). Truly ahead of its time, a modern Azure Dreams would kick some serious ass.

Shadow of Destiny really was an odd experience. Not the best, but an interesting concept nonetheless. I ended up picking it up on a random whim one day, and I'm glad I did. Thanks for covering it!

Back when I had a flip phone. They had a Frogger game you could play and if you did well enough you could win prizes. I ended up winning a copy of Frogger Beyond for the Gamecube.

Lol I had the worst PTSD flashback when you showed that TMNT clip in the water.

FINALLY! THERE'S NO ONE ON KZfaq WHO TALKS ABOUT OLD VIDEO GAMES

I don't want to forget Castlevania Judgment, but mostly just because it's got a good soundtrack.

Shadow of Destiny is a beautiful game. I love it to this day.

Some things are better left forgotten and some things are hidden gems lost in time. Unfortunately things tend to lean more towards better left forgotten.

"especially when you get massive" Cap'n, that's a OwO for me.

That Suikoden II music always makes me smile

What did the Japanese man say about his friend's automobile when its battery died? 10:42

But Austin, you forgot to mention the most important thing about Shadows of Destiny; you can fit a whole ladder in your pocket in that game!

I grew up trying to play frogger the great quest. I never actually got past the river boat. I would beat up all the cats on the boat then never figured out what i had to do to further the adventure

Bless the Suikoden 2 HQ music at the start of the video.

Frogger 1 and 2 have a very dedicated mod scene.

Shadow of Memory remembers me of a board game called Tragedy Looper. In that game one player is the mastermind behind a... well... tragedy and the other players are time travelers who tries to stop the tragedy. Fun part about the game is that the time travelers only knows that a tragedy will occur, but doesn't know who commit the tragedy, nor the tragedy per se, so they need to lose a few "loops" to get this details and fight the tradegy in the last loops to win. So... yeah... try to play the game D:

The reboot Frogger series had a Game Boy Advance game called Frogger's Adventures: Temple of the Frog. That one is a lot more Frogger-esque and Death is the main villain

More people need to talk about magicians quest for the ds! That animal crossing-like game

no Elebits/Eledees? very underrated, extremely fun Wii game with a rock solid sequel on the DS.

It's like nobody knows that Konami has kid-friendly games too besides Metal Gear, Castlevania, and Contra

I know this video is old but thank god someone else remembers Shadow of Destiny I had this game and loved it.

My frogger memories mostly revolve around the game boy ones, forgot the name though

I remember playing Shadows of destiny years ago and never beat it. so i read the wiki and story wasn't that bad along with the multiple endings...one of the endings had me like oof

Nioce choice of music for the intro, love to see Suikoden fans!

Cajun Frogger makes me happy

"Konami, my side girl" I felt that.

Just watched a 3 minute video segment about the weird 3D-platformer Frogger game I played when I was 10 and I'm still not 100% sure it really existed and wasn't just a fever dream.

Loving all the music from Lunar SSS lately Austin, something you dont hear many talk about even though it's the best kind of cheese.

I recall seeing Tornado outbreak in a few game stores I often vist , and i always it looked pretty cool .

Remember that konami tried to go against ace combat with Airforce delta series?

I think right now, my opinion on Konami is that "You fell into a deep hole and it's your goddamn fault. Now I'm gonna watch as you try to climb back to the surface, with some ups (Super Bomberman R) and digging even deeper (Contra Rogue Corps), see you getting laughed at, ridiculed, your sweet memories tarnished and people plastering your crimes against humankind or missteps on top of those memories. Sure, I won't forget those sweet memories and I wouldn't even plaster those memories with all your missteps, but that doesn't mean I will give you a get out of jail free card. Rise back like a phoenix, or fall into complete oblivion. It's all up to nothing but you alone."

''i'm a miserable pile of secrets'' made my day.
