The hair and no beard is the only was people tell us apart! Seriously Joe, thanks for that. It is truly an honor to be parodied here.

That Console Wars ending skit was beautiful.

That ending skit is like the minigame that plays when you put in the wrong card. It's BONUS CONTENT!!!

Shaving for a silly end skit is a true dedication.

I feel Joe really wants to make an episode about every Mahjong game ever released. He seems to like these games quite a lot.

You know you've made it as a creator when Gamesack parodies you! The SNL of the retro gaming community!

I hope Console Wars are watching this, they're going to feel honored.

Straight up. Still is and continues to be - the absolute legendary retro video game channel on KZfaq. More people need to flock here.

The "Are we doing this?!" moment made me laugh out loud in such a weird way that I thought I was possessed. Well done 🤣

In Flash Hiders you can control the character in every mode. Before the match there's an option for Auto on/off. Turn that off and you control the character, leave it on and you just watch. No idea why they did it that way, it confused me back in the 90s too. Also note that you get different attacks if you tap the button vs holding it down. This game is pretty cool if you learn the moves, even if all the gauges are not that useful. Give it another try.

It's videos like this that put Game Sack in a class of it's own. Thank you for your hard work.

That end skit was legit so funny. Great homage to Dan and Pat!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CONSOLE WARS SHOUTOUT

I’m so glad that Sapphire is on the PC-Engine mini. Love that game’s special effects

The last thing I expected was seeing a Serie A match between Cremonese and Brescia in a Game Sack video. Life is strange. Excellent video as always, both in research and sense of humour... thanks!

Fun fact: Formation Soccer 95 has full italian commentary made by japanese, and when you miss a shot it says something like "sh*tty shot", probably a phrase they heard somewhere and thought it was common speech :D

Please create an "every tate mode game for Nintendo switch" episode 😊

Emerald Dragon was ported to the Super Famicom and there is a translation patch for that version of the game.

Holy hell, Joe went in all they way for this video, even doing a wet shave! :D

It’s a shame the Turbografx 16 never got the same love and attention the PC Engine got, it’s almost like NEC wanted it to fail.

Man, that ending skit is amazing. I love Console Wars, my favorite peopel from Jersey.

Both the Madou Monogatari games on PC Engine CD and Mega Drive have fan translations, and the fan translation for the PC Engine game allows you to skip past voiced dialog before it finishes playing. I personally didn't mind the lack of an animation for turning around, the ingame map helps a lot with figuring out where you are.

There are so many solid games for the PC Engine CD that desperately need fan translations so we can enjoy them! Sadly most if any will probably not get this treatment...

😂😂😂 That Console Wars spoof had rolling in laughter at work. The best skit Joe has ever done. I was in tears. The guys at Console Wars have to be super flattered. Imitation is the best form of flattery. To get that recognition from a channel as long running as Game Sack is an honor indeed. This came out of nowhere

Amazing piece of work as always Joe, the amount of effort this must take to edit a nearly 50 min video of all these games is just incredible. Your entertainment is always appreciated and always a treat to chill on a Sunday and enjoy some new Game Sack. Thank you!

Captured Console Wars perfectly with the "state the obvious" facts. Great job Joe!

i usually watch console wars on game sack’s off-weeks so i appreciate you making this both a game sack and a console wars episode given console wars are currently on a break from making episodes. d-:

I never expected a full episode of Console Kombat at the end of a Game Sack video. That was fun to see. And it's cool how far Console Wars has come having been watching it since the early days. This was a fun video. I agree that Mad Stalker is a bit clumsy, and it didn't make the best first impression on me, but there was just something about it that grabbed me after seeing it in your X68000 video. After playing it a few times, I ended up really loving it. The music is a big part of that, but it plays pretty well, though I'm really into beat-em-up games and mechs which helps. I agree it probably could have been done on the Super CD with some loading as the arcade card seems to just let them load the entire game aside from the CD audio in one shot. And that does work out since the Genesis version is 16 megabits so it would fit into the arcade RAM with a bit of room to spare. I also agree that some line-scrolling parallax would have been possible if they planned the game around the system, but it's largely a port of the FM Towns version which also had the one background. Still, I don't mind the flat backgrounds in those. As for responsiveness, I thought it was pretty close to the Genesis version, and the PCE version doesn't have the slowdown in that one. I wish the screen didn't flash on the PCE version though, as that does get annoying to me. Interestingly, that is carried over from the X68000 version while the FM Towns doesn't have that. I did play the X68000 version and that felt the least responsive, but I always figured that was an emulator issue.

Game Sack Is Back Thanks Joe For All Your Work I Miss Console Wars It’s Been Couple Months Since A War From Them They Had A Baby So They’re Busy I Love The PC Engine/Turbo Grafx And Neo Geo

16Mb (2MB) was a LOT of RAM for the time! It feels like they didn't really take advantage of it too well as I think it would have helped for the character animation in action & fighting games, but they sadly didn't really use it for that. How awesome would a Street Fighter 2 port have been that uses the Arcade card?? Could have had the best home port for the time!

It's a shame that the Arcade Card didn't come out earlier. Of course memory prices were very expensive at the time so it wasn't feasible but seeing games like Sapphire and the SNK ports show what the PCE was capable of.

That ending killed me 10/10 😂

The strider game was originally supposed to be a supergraphics game but when that bombed it was hastily ported to CD.

The console war skit at the end was great

Gamefan Magazine was one of my favs back in the day! Their Japanese coverage was second to none. It's how I found out about one of my all time fav anime's Goldenboy. Such a classic!

Love your videos! Thanks for keeping a schedule!

I love the ATB system and similar RPG battle-systems because it incorporates individual characters' speeds into how often you can act, adds a feeling of anticipation for your turn, and the animating bar adds a kinetic element to the screen that makes it less boring.

Only Joe can make me watch a 45 minute video about games i will never play.

Great... Now i gotta wait a whole 2 more weeks for another episode! As always, wonderful job joe!

That entire Console Wars end skit was brilliant, but my favorite part was the way you were holding the Neo Geo controller the whole time. 😂

Dude, I saw the comments and skipped to the end skit just to watch it before the video. Love the Console Wars shout out, they are an amazing channel with a fantastic sense of humor. Love seeing them get recognition like this.

Amazing Console Wars parody! I coincidentally just rewatched your "Make a KZfaq Video" video, where you also parodied other KZfaqrs, and you're really good. Ever since the Game Sack/Sega Lord X crossover, I've been wondering if we'd ever see a GS/CW cinematic universe. You three are my favorite retro game channels and its awesome that you like and respect one another!

This is one of the best videos you have ever done dude. Just amazing stuff.

Y'know, making the whole game fit into the Arcade Card and load just once isn't that bad an idea... I mean, it's more storage than most HuCard games, and you get the rest of the CD to fit in the redbook soundtrack, sounds reasonable to me!

Was not expecting the Console Wars parody or the secret fart at the end!

Joe I came here for quality retro game content, I wasn't prepared for the gold that is the skit that followed. Man...

I'm still flabbergasted by the fact Joe knows what a Manga is.

Thank you for the shout-out for Space Ava 201!

Damn....high effort ending skit. Good video all around, and good to see Console Wars get some love here.

omg, I always wanted to see a GameSack and Console Wars collab! like if y'all switched each other's partners

Wonderful tribute skit. 🎊🎉 🙌 🧔 Thanks!

Talk about a perfectly timed video, just got myself an Arcade Card recently.

Radio Buddy: "I see you have an error message. That particular game needs an Arcade Card to function. Insert your Arcade Card into your system." Where are you? Radio Buddy: "I am everywhere."

Nice video as always, but I really wish games in these types of "complete library" videos were in release order to give an idea of how developers grappled with hardware over time and took advantage of it.

This channel is so awesome! I love all the videos about retro games from my childhood.

You just killed me with the end sketch . In fact , it's a clearing resume of the other channel 😂😂 Never laughed so hard 😅

Perfect episode in preparation for the Analogue Duo release. The PC Engine and especially the CD unit never officially released in Europe and now is the perfect time to educate and add some games to the library. 😊

My favorite gaming chanel! Keep it up. The end skit is pretty good :)

Love your videos so much. They are so comforting and I always appreciate comprehensive lists of any kind. When I need to relax your videos are my go-to.

When Jong Master came up, I had to hold my drink in my mouth for a while, just in case you said it WASN'T a mahjong game, so I could spit it all over my monitor in shock. Oh well.

I miss Diehard Gamefan magazine. It was great for upcoming games and had amazing presentation.

That console Wars parody was so cool. 👌😂

Some of the "insert card screens" are way more interesting than the games themselves.

Console Wars skit was great, I could watch a bunch of those!

Loved this! Some of the best capture quality available on the internet for these obscure (to the west at least..) arcade card games. Enjoyed every second of this exploration, and even if Emerald Dragon isn't really an arcade card game (or has unknown effects) loved seeing that in here too, as I've been slowly brute-forcing my way through the game this past couple years. There is a translation being worked on for that one which I'm very much looking forward to, and I wrote up a guide that goes through the first half. (linked in my 1st chapter playthrough)

Great video! The bonus parody episode of Console Wars was amazing!!😂😂😂

Loved the console wars bit at the end 😂 well didn’t have to wait THAT long for a new episode.

3x3 Eyes looks really good.

One of the best line : "Yeah but unless you forget I am the NEO-GEO. You can't win this one." 🤣🤣🤣

Wow, I thought I knew everything. Never heard of the arcade card.

Console Wars brought to you by Dollar Shave Club… EPIC SPOOF!

the ending was awesome!! I bet the console wars guys are gonna love this

These every game videos are becoming my favorite gamesack series. Keep up the great work.

FF Special is so incredible in that system.

16:48 Umm... you could also tell the audience who isn't familiar with TurboGrafx-16 about Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire is also part in the TurboGrafx-16 Mini & I do know that it's also part of Hudson Soft Compilation as Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection (that has this game and the two Galaxy Fraulein Yuna games) for PSP in Japan only. (I think I recall Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire is technically the only Arcade CD-ROM2 game on the TurboGrafx-16 Mini library.)

I needed this so bad right now, thanks Game Sack!

The ending skit mocking Console Wars absurd "winning" system where 95% of the time the weaker console is favored, is entirely accurate.

The ending skit for Console Wars parody is better than any Console Wars videos. You can’t beat the power of the Neo Geo.

Nothing like waking up on a quaint Sunday mornning to a brand new Game Sack.

Great video thank you! Love it when you take a look at a console or add on that I've never heard of.

The Console Wars bit was awesome!!!

I've read that Strider began life as the SuperGrafx port, got cancelled, then taken out of mothballs & finished and released for the Arcade CD.

That Gulliver Boy RPG was ported to the Saturn without any major change, except the battles feature borders around the screen due to the obvious differneces in resolution, similar to the Mega Man X3 port to the same console, but the Mega Man features those borders only at the sides. It should, by default, include higher quality FMV scenes, but it looks like they just ported the very downsampled PC-Engine files over. It feels like one of those Sega Ages Mega Drive games without any change. It at least, have the oblivious benefit of faster loadings, but that's a given. Maybe higher quality audio, though only with a real hardware comparison would prove this to be true.

Great subject for a video! This and the N64 Expansion Pak episode are my favorites you've done.

5:58 Geez, that music sounds like someone trying to learn the Holophoner from Futurama.

Freaking amazing dude! Great episode as always! The ending skit was above and beyond! Love Console Wars!

There's something great about the CD quality music in japanese games from this era. Joe didn't say anything about Kabuki Ittouryoudan's music, but it's one of the best imo. Also, in mahjong games the CD music is the only thing that can be saved.

Another great episode. I think this answers whether the arcade card would be worth it or not. The sound effects comparison in the end skit was hilarious!

omg, im not sure what exit'ed my nose at the end, but it was notable. was not expecting that but fully appreciated it :)

I can't wait for the Game Sack episode 'Every 16bit Mahjong game'

I honestly had no idea that the Far east of Eden series had another fighting game! The only one I knew of was the one that actually made it to the west, called "Kabuki Klash".

that console wars bit at the end is great lol

Hahaha Console Combat was awesome!! Guess I WONT skip this weeks skit...

Awesome spoof , homage to CW , you really captured the spirit behind the two distinct personalities that make up that duo , hilarious , only thing missing were some puppets and their wacky and fantastical green screen exploits

Gotta say that Princess Maker 2 is a great game provided you're playing in English (or understand Japanese I suppose). While not for everyone it's a solid simulation title that has a ton of variety.

I look forward to Game Sack content more than any other channel. Thanks, Joe!

Great episode. Thank you, Bearded and Beardless Joe.

16:52 "Warning! It's dangerous for you to come."

Had no idea the pc engine could do so much. Also, those fart noises made me literally LOL at work.

Stayed up just for the new episode 😁
