Weekly Game Sack kicks so much ass.

You have no idea how much i look forward to new game sack episodes.I have been following ever since the mario vs. sonic video. Tons of excellent gameplay footage. No e-begging. I have seen you guys really expand (in quality and content) and i think you guys have a really bright future. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work!

KOKODESUKA!

The best bloody roar had to be primal fury on GameCube. The way the beast mechanics worked in that game felt more tactical than other entries. Also, you should keep an eye out for a ps1 fighting game called Cardinal Syn. I remember having such a blast with my mates on that game.

Oh man. The ending skit has me in tears. Literally. I had to lay down and cry because I laughed until it hurt when they fly exploded.

Please NEVER RETIRE this show, it brings too much happiness to my life.

gents can I just say how ecstatic I am that these vids are now weekly. brightens up my Sunday! thank you!

Game Sack and fighting games....2 of my favorite things together to take my mind off the fact that school starts again this week. :)

Ehrgeiz AND Bloody Roar 1 &2?!?!?!? Nostalgia overload, you guys nailed this one!!

Joe, I want to correct you in something you said. In Bloody Roar you CAN break the walls and do a ring outs. Hell, you can do a Run+Transform attack to accomplish that. It's not only powerful, it looks AWESOME. It's the same for ALL the sequels and versions. Anyway, excellent choose of games. Lots of memories came back to me!

You know, this whole gamesack every week thing is amazing.

I'm so happy you guys went back to a weekly show. Now my interim weekends won't suck.

Nothing better than a Game Sack episode before bed! :D

My favorite part of this one was the way you knocked the Dreamcast controller away with the Saturn controller during the Guilty Gear overview. You guys are awesome!!

I could watch an 8 hour episode of Game Sack every Sunday.

Much better than last week. Gave the games a chance, researched them properly. The Amiga episode deserved to be like this.

YES! You did go back to weekly. Thank your family Dave!!!

There were actually 5 Toshinden games. Toshinden, Toshinden 2, Toshinden 3, Toshinden 4 (Toshinden Subaru in Japan), and a spin-off game, Battle Arena Nitoshinden -- which was basically "Toshinden Kids".

GameSack friends! You guys kick all of the ass with your weekly Internet programming, so much enjoy! Fighting games get me all hopped up, as if I consumed an inordinate amount of Mountain Dew. This results in an eventual stream of piss resembling that of the Laser power-up from the glorious space shooter series Gradius! Just imagine if I were to live long enough to collect Options, what a mess that would be! Good job as always!

"he's also an archaeologist so naturally he's also searching for the secret of immortality" lol

Dave, please give Bushido Blade another chance. I once played 100 p.v.p. battles in a row. Lost most. This is the best show on youtube thank you!

I remember Battle Arena Toshinden, the arcade machine, in my local video store. That sentence cannot be made in this day and age!

What a perfect surprise to find another GameSack episode for the 2nd week straight! I kill flies like that all the time, and the only suggestion I have for you guys is try throwing a hadoken at one, it's perfect for when you wanna be lazy!

I have been watching your show and because of it I bought a Genesis and Goulds'N Ghosts. Loving the console and the game. Thanks for making the show informed and broadening gaming horizons.

I'll watch this tomorrow morning during breakfast. Thanks Game Sack _!_

Games I'd like to see on the next fighting game episode: Wu-Tang Shaolin Style Power Moves Mace: The Dark Age WWF Wrestlemania - The Arcade Game King of the Monsters

How the hell does Ryu say nothing like a fair fight when Goenitz was so cheap lol

The music was easily the best thing about Castlevania Judgment. Made me enjoy the game much more than I would've otherwise.

Good to see Battle Arena Toshinden 2! One of my favorite old series that nobody likes anymore but me!

The most notable thing about Bloody Roar is that changing into an animal is known as "beast mode" which SOMEHOW BECAME A JOCK CATCH PHRASE. You can go to NFL stadiums and see graphics encouraging players to enter Beast Mode. It's like being in the twilight zone.

Remembering you guys are now weekly always brings joy to my heart

6 segments instead of 10, but each segment was slightly longer and more detailed. and noticeably more humor. probably the funniest episode yet.

Winning with the fart move that the old guy has in toshinden 2 is amazing.

Another great video, guys! So glad you are doing weekly vids now!

STUPID FLY! *I'm crying. I love you guys*

I spent far too much time wondering what it would be like to live in a bubble floating aimlessly around in space...

Now I can't unsee Sephirot doing all Yoshimitsu's moves xD

Weekly Game Sack just might be the best thing since sliced bread. Interesting as always guys, Guilty Gear X looked so damn good. I wish more modern companies would attempt 2D fighters drawn like that again.

I would love to see a random shoot em up episode or maybe a second frustrating games episode. great episode either way :)

Bloody roar was one of my all time favorites as a kid. I played that game for hours.

Power Quest on Game Boy color! You buy a robot, fight other robots, earn money to buy new parts to improve your robot.. it's a really underrated game. The only thing that really sucks about it is that there is a password save

At 2:33 it sounds like he is saying "gå och diska" which is swedish for "go do the dishes". XD

I really enjoyed "Star Gladiator", "Bugi" (Sacred Fist) as well as "Cardinal Syn" back then. Imho quite underrated and not really bad games. Hope to see them on a future episode. :D

I wish the footage in this episode was in 60fps. In fighting games, you've _GOT_ to have 60fps!

So glad you guys are doing weekly again

A thought that's crossed my mind before is a whole episode on anime fighters. - A Guilty Gear game - A BlazBlue game - A Melty Blood game (PS2 JP) - An Arcana Heart game (PS2, PS3) - Fist of the North Star/ Hokuto No Ken (PS2 JP) - Sengoku Basara X (PS2 JP) - AquaPazza (PS3) Hundreds more out there, a lot of really obscure ones too if you go indie/doujin with games like Eternal Fighter Zero, Big Bang Beat, Yatagarasu and more. Oh, and Goenitz is still my favorite SNK boss of all time. Such style and class. He is one of the hardest SNK bosses, but honestly, I'd rather fight him than Krizalid.

22:06 - "STUPID FLY!!!" On a similar note, there's this new thing on GSN known to take the place of an ad break known as Man vs. Fly. You winning that 'fight' reminded me of that, Joe!

Game Sack, thank you for finally covering the Bloody Roar series. No-one talks about it, and it's probably number 3 of my favorite fighting series (Oh, and 3 and Primal Fury are my favorites.)

Nothing like a dose of weekly sack.

By the way, you didn't mention that Ehrgeiz has a pretty good interrupt/counter system pretty similar to "just defend" in SNK fighters. There were even detailed faqs for using it properly for tourneys back in the early 2000s.

Interesting Edit: That ending skit was fantastic.

SVC chaos looks awesome! I never tried it and I love fighting games. "Koko desu ka" means "Where is this"/"Where are you" or something along those lines depending on context.

great vid as always. thanks for talking about the mighty Neo Geo !

guys I've seen all your videos and love how detailed you are on your reviews and try to find the good in them even if they're subpar.

This is one of the best ones ive seen in a long time from you guys

BLOODY..... ROAR....... broke many friendships with this game. fave character was the chameleon dude

One thing you didn't mention was the artwork for Castlevania Judgment was done by the same dude who gave us the manga and anime "Death Note". Anyway, nice work here!

Game Sack is still my fav channel on youtubes. So good I Liked and commented before I even watched it.

I love this series.

One fighting game I used to play a bunch back in the day was Evil Zone on the PS1. I played it again recently and it was actually pretty sweet. It might be worth checking out.

Thanks for everything Joe and Dave ! i love all your vids and you grew to be one of my favourite channels on YT, your content is very interesting and the way you describe how you enjoy games that are well designed ! I love everything ! Keep up the corny humour and the stop motion !

Man, back when I was 8 years old my friends and I played so many fucking hours of Ehergiz. The mini games were fun as hell when you're with a bunch of buds, plus the single player quest mode was soooo fun when you were solo. A truly underrated awesome game.

I swear it sounds like he's saying "Coco Disco" and thought for sure Joe was going to "Coco Disco" that fly at the end. Lol.

the N64 had some interesting exclusive fighting games that you can cover: Fighters Destiny 1 & 2 Mace the Dark Age Dark rift Killer Instinct gold Deadly Arts

First time I heard someone like Castevania Judgement

You guys need to do VR GAMES!!! (I don't think you have!) Do some oculus games, and show off the virtual boy and other weird old VR stuff that we've never heard of. I saw there is actually an original zelda remake in VR, and you can actually run emulators in VR too, lots of potential for a long episode. It'd also be funny watching you both react to some of the games. If u need an oculus, I guess I could let you borrow mine :o

Have you guys ever covered Dream Mix TV: World Fighters? I can't recall, but I don't think you have. And if not, that might be a good one for a future episode -- assuming Smash Brothers-style arena fighters count, anyway. Dream Mix TV was released on the PS2 and Gamecube in Japan, and was a joint venture from Hudson, Konami and Takara, so it features characters from all three of those companies' IPs. As a result, you can totally have a four-player Bomberman versus Optimus Prime versus Master Higgins from Adventure Island versus Simon Belmont match, or other such crazy things. The fighting itself is really basic, but I love the HP gimmick -- each match begins with HP crystals falling from the sky, and the four fighters all scramble to pick up as much as they can. When you attack opponents, HP gets knocked out of them, which other fighters can then pick up. And when you punch an opponent who has no HP left, his soul flies out -- but he's still in the match until somebody "catches" that soul. And if he manages to get to it first, he... I don't know, swallows it back up, I guess? And can go on fighting without incident. It's a neat game system that makes the whole experience a little different from other arena fighters, and while the fighting action really isn't super amazing or anything, the HP gimmick and the crazy roster of characters make up for it enough that I think it's worth checking out.

I love fighting games. I used to go to an arcade called Capcom Station and spend hours playing fighting games and shoot em ups. There's this game called Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix that I enjoyed a lot.

Funny you guys mention Bloody Roar. The last one that they made was exclusive on the GameCube called Bloody Roar: Primal Rage. Kind of have a soft spot for this series since me and my cousin played this a lot back then.

ALL great videos. In depth, and with lots of information. So when is *Game* *Sack* going to finally give us a Question-and-Answer video so we can learn more about Joe and Dave, and how you came to be where you are making these great videos, and anything else about you and your channel. The first question I would like to add to the QnA list (of a hopefully future video), is what video editing programs do you use for all your effects? Thanks again guys.

Battle Arena Toshinden and Bloody Roar, Hell Yea!

Poor, poor Dave... the Committee for Everyone Should Have The Same Opinion is going to having a very long "talk" with him about Castlevania Judgement.

1. Tattoo Assassins 2. Blood Storm 3. Fighting Vipers 4. Rival Schools 5. Time Killers

I am so happy you guys added _Battle Arena Toshinden 2_ to this video. The first three games are absolutely awesome and the first two in particular are a big part of my childhood! The third one is a little lazy in terms of unlockable characters and the fourth one is... very unusual, to say the least, but all and all, it's a pretty great series with a lot of memorable characters! There's even a one-shot cartoon for it, which is also really great!

I've been playing Castlevania Judgement. I was a little weirded out by them including a golem as one of the playable characters, but he was characterized so well that I actually found him adorable.

I'm not huge into fighting games but my absolute fave is Bloody Roar Primal Fury on the Gamecube... I love the mechanics to it (most that you mentioned) like changing, getting new moves, strategies to regaining health, etc. Some of them transform into things other than animals (like strange mutants).

Bad jokes? What bad jokes? I laughed at all of them!

Next time it'd be nice to see 32 bit fighters that stayed in Japan.

don't know if they've been covered before but i really like the power stone games on dreamcast.

Heavy metal geometric on the Dreamcast was an enjoyable 3D fighter with a metal soundtrack. Great vide as always guys!

My favorite Bloody Roar game is definitely part 3! Some fighting games you should cover in the future: Marvel Vs. Capcom, Tastunoko Vs. Capcom, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dragon Ball Z Budokai, Blaz Blue, Skullgirls, Godzilla Unleashed, Battle Fantasia, and Persona 4 Arena.

King of Fighters is like the soccer of fighting games

YES! NEW VID!!! best channel on youtube!

Here are some suggestions for the next fighting game segment. 1. Zero Divide 1&2-PS1 2. Time Killers-Sega Genesis/Arcade 3. Deadly Arts-N64 4. Fatal Fury Wild Ambition-PS1

Urban Reign! Although, admittedly, it is basically a brawler that has a fighting game mode, (which I feel more games should have.)

HAHA omg the fly part at the end was hilarious! I've been laughing for like 20 minutes!

"Stupid fly!" Lmao!!

I might be wrong but what Joe said about SNK vs Capcom at the 4:00 min mark was the other way around because we were selling us xbox copies of the game but no ps2.

That's a clean looking beard you got there, Dave.

Best ending skit easily. Stupid fly!!!

Hope you guys make an episode on more obscure/forgotten fighters. Asura Buster, Breakers, the Power Instinct series, Advanced V.G. 2, Rage of Dragons, Battle Fantasia, Bushido Blade, Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer, Martial Masters, Spectral vs Generation, Ys vs Sora no Kiseki, The Rumble Fish, Suiko Enbu, Arcana Heart, and maybe Rise of the Robots if you want your brain to melt.

That sweet fly punch though lol

SVC Chaos... I remember when I bought PlayStation 2 in 2010, I wanted to get SVC Chaos, because it had Zero in it. After playing it for a while, I started liking the SNK characters more. I liked their desings more than Capcom one's. This was my gateway to SNK fighters and SNK games in general, as shortly after I bought KOF 2002, 98UM, the SNK collections and finally, the best SNK fighting game ever, KOF XI (you should really try that one) I can also appreciate that SNK included more obscure characters in the game, like Earthquake, Tessa and Mars People. Also, Serious Mr. Karate boss is one badass. It was also nice to see some fighters from my childhood. It sure has been long time since I last saw Bloody Roar and Battle Arena Toshinden.

Hell yeah! Battle Arena!! I use to love this game.

I'd pay to see Joe play Evil Zone after this one. Great show.

I know that if you guys do another fighting game episode that the next logical step for Guilty Gear is to talk about Guilty Gear X2, but that is by far my favorite 2D fighter ever. The characters they added, the music, the character originality, unique move sets, and unlockable characters makes it almost impossible to compete with. Other fighters that I have thoroughly enjoyed over the years are JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Gundam Battle Assault 2. An "interesting" one that you could talk about is Wu-Tang Clan: Shaolin Style on the PS1. I'm not saying that it's a great game (by any means) but I did manage to have the perseverance to beat the story mode once. I hope you enjoy playing these games!

@game sack My favourite Toshinden game was the third, purely for nostalgic reasons. It's not a great game but it has a lot of characters to unlock (because there's a clone for every good character) and the best character in that game is the Michael Jackson ripoff Ten Count. Technically there are 5 games, 4 on the PS1, although 4 only got a pal an Japanese release, and a rebirth on the WIi. Bloody Roar Primal Fury was my fave in the series, and I'm sure you guys will enjoy it when you get to it. Another small little bit of info, SNK vs Capcom was not a PAL only release for the Xbox, it did have a NTSC release here as well, I owned a copy myself until recently.

Oh man I remember having a passing glance of the Bloody Roar demo years ago.

Great episode! btw, SNK vs. Capcom was released on the og XBOX in AMERICA as well, Joe, FYI.

Bloody Roar 1 and 2 are two of my favorite fighting games!
