What are some games that never were released outside of Japan that you'd like to see covered?

Q: What is the purpose of Japanese Santoku knives? A: CUTTHEFOODS!!!

"Don't be a loser. Instead, be perfect." Good life advice from Joe.

A grown man playing with transformers is a lot less offensive than a grown man that collects pop figures.

I thought Cyborg 009 says "Kasoku Sochi" in the anime, but he actually says "Cut the Foods", thank you very much for the clarification!

"Cut the foods" is stuck in my head now. Thanks Gamesack.

In comic and anime, he said "KASOKU SOUCHI!" means "Accelerator". He can move at mach 3. but in this game,he said "cut the Foods!" for sure.

10:20 "I illegally burned a DVD! That's right I'm risking jail time for you!" made me laugh out loud 😂 can of coke to you Joe

Fact: The bug-eyed girl that you mention is Helena. She's an original in-game character. She was from outer space and has two sisters! (According to the Cyborg 009 Fandom)

The voice of Optimus Prime is Robert Belgrade, who you may know as Alucard from Symphony of the Night.

At the risk of repeating myself: I love Game Sack. The content itself, the editing, the humor -- everything is quality. Game Sack forever.

You are truly a retro gamer hero. Very glad I found this channel. Greetings from Japan!

while i was preparing dinner this evening, I said "CUT THE FOODS!" while i was cutting foods.

Rent a Hero seems like the initial building blocks of Yakuza.

Best retro show on youtube!

I know you hear this all the time, but thanks for continuing the quality uploads. It’s my favorite way to pass time. I can’t count the amount of games I’ve added to my collection, strictly based on the reviews I’ve seen on this channel. Many thanks!!!!

I love it when a fresh Game Sack drops. :)

"Cut the foods!!!" I want a shirt that says that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cut the foods! I burst out laughing after hearing that lol

This year @ Thanksgiving I was carving the Turkey & yelled "Cut the Foodz!" Everyone at the table looked at me real funny. Jokes on them, cuz they didn't get it. One person chuckled tho, they got it.

With the Coronavirus infection going around, lots of grocery stores have introduced rationing to try to help with panic buyers grabbing all the stuff. A lot of the foods have been cut...

11:21 *D o r k* Lest my keyboard gets cold I guess I'd say something a bit more constructive. As a Japanese person I greatly appreciate Joe neither fakes and/or flexes his ability to pronounce Japanese words nor does he downright make fun of its supposedly absurd pronunciation according to English phonology.

I wonder how many people are aware that in that japan-only G1 game, Optimus was voiced by the same guy who voiced Alucard in Symphony of the Night.

Cut the foods!

Cyborg 009 was shown on Toonami for a time, so it's something I'm a bit familiar with.

I watch Game Sack now ever since Classic Game Room just fell apart!

Sorry, here's my obligatory "please review the Japanese Ganbare Goemon PS1 games" comment I always make, Jimmy Hapa Import Gaming FTW is actually doing a giveaway on one, Oedodaikaiten, at the moment. You like Guardian Heroes, have you tried the Japanese PS1 rip-off Panzer Bandit? It's actually a very good rip-off, much more fast paced and a lot less story, but it's a great game no matter what. As for PC Engine non shooters, how about Momotarou Katsugeki, it's an interesting platformer. Son Son II is a platformer I really like on the PC Engine. But you HAVE to check out Obocchama Kun, it is the weirdest game, it's a platformer but it's bizarre, instead of ducking when pressing down, you turn into a dog, just play it, it's absurd. Oh, and did you ever get around to reviewing Super Tempo on Saturn? I think it's a very fun game, but not for the price.

ahh, spring is here... and a new game sack episode, the perfect combination

Wow, Rent a Hero looks like a proto No More Heroes. The wrestling moves, the toilet, the way you get your gear at the start.

"That's right! I'm risking jail time for you!" *famous last words*

You CUT THE HELL OUT OF THOSE FOODS on that last 009 clip... Damn mang!

This is my favorite Game Sack series.

A new Game Sack episode featuring Transformers, an obligatory Greendog reference, and a possible new running joke(cut the foods!). Good to see Joe knows how to keep the show going strong, even without Dave.

This is the best Game Sack episode of all time! I love the technical insights and honest opinion of these games. I always learn something new. Keep up the great work.

These Left in Japan videos are the reason I'm still subscribed. So keep 'em coming

"I'm not touching the enemy with my weapon." Game Sack 2020 🤣

Cut The Foods!!!!

Left in Japan 31: *gets released* Me: YES! GAMESACK!

28:56 "No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!"

In the endless slog that is life at least we have GAMESACK SUNDAY WEOO thanks joe

cut the FOODS!

This was the best post-credits scene so far!

March 1 starting great with Game Sack

I look forward to a new Game Sack every week!

love the dreamcast era of graphics.. rent a hero looks pretty sweet

Joe gets devastated with so much alone time at the end.

Game Sack is the best. Love the Left In Japan videos!!! I gotta try playing some of these on stream.

Cut The F O O D S !

"Cut the foods!" Stuck in my head now!

Happy to see Cyborg 009 being covered. Am a big fan of the series .

It is fun to cut the foods in public, even with a friend! Cyborg 009 taught me about life. Joe taught me about being a pirate. He is currently awaiting parole over a single DVD.

Japan doesn't know how fortunate they are.... But at least we GREENGOD!!!!

That "just like Gamesack" joke killed me 😂🤣. I'm a ghost now.

Playing Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero you can do uppercuts like Street Fighter Shoryuken, didn't show that during gameplay footage. You can combo moves together also.

Im a simple man I see posted 44 seconds ago and its Game Sack, I click.

Thanks a lot. I've been running around for two days now with this stupid "cut the foods" sticking in my ear.

Some more suggestions for a possible left in japan episode: Brave Prove (recently fan translated) Beyond Oasis PS1 "clone" Boktai 3 (GBA) Tetrastar (Famicom) Gear fighter (PS1) Ape escape million monkeys (PS2) Retro game challenge 2 (DS) Chaos seed (sfc/saturn) Robot wars series Dezaemon series I tried to consider some Sega games but I can't seem to think of any that haven't been featured.

"Prepare to be hurt." "Okay, old man." "...words can also hurt, you know."

I always love this Left in Japan series. Thank you!

OMG, I am recovering from a bad cough and CUT THE FOODS! got me laughing so hard I got into a coughing fit, I almost died.

The baby is the ninth member of the Cyborg 009 team: the dude with the mustache is their mentor.

Whoa are we really on #12 already, dang!

I have no clue how you didn't cut your wrists because of how much he screams "CUT DA FOODS!!!" Jeez. CUT DA FOODS!!!

ok ok. Long time watcher here. i´ve watched all gamesack video´s my knowledge about games is thanks to game sack. Greetz from the Netherlands bye.

Breaking the fourth wall in your ending segment was funny 😂 Also I am certain you will still have plenty of material for future _Left in Japan_ episodes since those guys kept a lot for themselves 🤔

Joe, you def make a bunch of our days with this channel. Plz keep them coming!

23:01 transition was PERFECT.

I cannot unhear that now CUT THE FOODS!😁😁 just like Axel's GRANPAPA!

"CUT THE FOODS"! Meme created! xD Thanks Gamesack.

Love this series. Always find new games to play.

“CUT THE FOODS!” Me: 🤣🤣

Aww, Winkysoft, the Banpresto spinooff, so they have a pedigree of mecha games behind them. They're known for the Lord of Elemental series of turn-based strategy stuff. (Where your friendlies will complain if you hit them with friendly fire via a MAP attack :p)

Must cut food... must cut food.

Came to see if anyone knew what Cyborg 009 is actually saying...although I'm sure "Cut the FOODS!" will now be an inside joke between me and my wife.

If with 12 episodes you've covered more than 80 games, you would need more than 60 episodes just to show the Sega Saturn games that were left in Japan, sad but true.

I saw that G R E E N D O G flavored save file! May he live in our saves forever. Another Fantastic video!

Hears him talking about good games released only in Japan. Seen Optimus Prime in the thumbnail. "That is anything _but_ a good game!"

The Cyborgs in 009 are indeed the ones wearing full red suits. Cyborg 009 is an anime and Manga franchise and the baby is indeed a Cyborg

Gosh dang it! I can't hear anything else but "cut the food" now lol.

12:45 "CELLmate" sounds like something that one would encounter in jail. Oh the awkward irony 😬

Saturday nights were made for Game Sack uploads!

I'm 44 years old and I'm still playing with my transformers and I'm not ashamed of that

I remember watching cyborg 009 on toonami back in like 1999 or 2000

Cyborg 009 is one of the longest series of anime/manga still around since '60

I was terrified you were gonna cut that cyborg 009 clip without letting us hear "cut the foods!" again. Bless you, Joe. I'd cut the foods for you, anytime!

19:47 The Formation option here is vague, but it determines the AI of your partners. I believe sending them up front makes them more aggressive while in the back they are more passive and some times use their guns. You can actually alter this on the fly either by the Start button or Select, I forget which. 20:16 There is an explanation here, but as I'm sure you've encountered, Transformers Takara (a name used to differentiate it from the One based on the Armada Series) is incredibly vague and generally expects you to know the controls and how to play the game before hand. The reason you're forced out of the transformation is cause you actually need enough energy to transform. It doesn't consume the energy but it is needed. Though to be fair only in rare cases such as Megatron, Galvatron, or Rodimus is it even worth transforming to use their attacks. 20:33 Only certain characters have access to the attack and then its a combination of D Pad and Attack. The game really can't be played guns a blaze and requires you to hold back and use the guard button to wait for an opening. 20:55 Its actually much worse then you think. Recall this is a Japanese game...with only an English Dub. For the Japanese Audience they need the Japanese Subtitles to understand the game and yeah the VAs are boring to grating. They're all in Country English voice actors which typically means they're just easier to get a hold of then paying for VAs out of Japan. This is made worse as most of the Voice Actors in here also did work for the english Dub of Mega Man X7...that speaks for itself. The Game also sucker punches you into playing the game 4 times if you want full completion. You need to beat both Autobots and Decepticons twice as on the second playthrough you encounter and recruit other Transformers. But yeah its sadly not a good game, which is a shame since there are so many callbacks and references to the original series so the Writers clearly knew the source material. I'd only recommend it if you're a Die Hard Transformers fan and only after looking up controls and tips for the game.

"Cut The Foods" is a legendary tier battle cry. I think it's up there with "Spoon!".

Cyborg 009 was a hugely influential manga that ran from 1964 to 1981. If you aren't familiar with it it can seem cliche but that's because it was responsible for many many common anime and manga tropes. A lot of common stuff in anime and manga was done there first.

I was just catching up on this series, its like you read my mind, good stuff, thank you!

I didn't know Shockman was part of a series. I bought it for the turbo head back when it was a brand new release and i loved it. Great soundtrack

Fantastic episode and skit at the end! Loved it!

I love Gamesack CUT THE FOOD!

Hey have you heard about them foods? Cut them. Best diet ever.

Thank YOU for making game sack.

You "kinda still" like transformers? Face it we loved them when we were young, and we still "totally" love them in our 40s

By that logic James Bond, Agent 007, is also a cyborg...

"...because more complicated means more fun!" Amen to that sarcastic statement. Too many games from all gens have way too many tacked-on gameplay elements.

I love these episodes

The 4th wall THE AUDIENCE. They are the ones CONSUMING THE SHOW.

You got Game Sack in my Transformers No..you got Transformers in my Game Sack
