Seeing Nina Williams in survival horror esque areas looks surreal, made Ada Wong run for her money.

My kingdom for a Yoshimitsu game.

This came from that weird struggle era of Namco shortly before they merged with Bandai when they were trying everything (the same era that brought us Katamari and Idolmaster and Taiko) ...there's a part of me that wonders why Nina, or if it would have worked better as its own thing instead of a Tekken spinoff. Of course, there's no way to tell if a spin-off will work without trying.

There was a weird era of trying to make video game characters “virtual idols” to star in multi media projects. Sprits within is the other example top of my head. Feels way ahead of it’s time, and would be a banger today. Luckily we at least have the ps2 Jank Version of this idea.

a lot of the people in the beat-em up/fighting game days said they would have loved spin off games of some fighting game characters in a beat em up form. It looks odd looking back at them now, but back then there was quite a portion who wanted stuff like this. Nina isnt the first one, Sub-zero got a beat em up game. I still today want a chun-li stand alone beat em up game. At least mods allowed for that in current years, being able to play fighting game character on retro beat em ups or modern action game like sifu

Conceptually this game sounds really interesting, a hybrid between classic survival horror and 3D brawler is a neat idea, I don't know what possessed them to go for such a weird control scheme tho.

I kind of love when the intro for a So I've Been Playing video comes in like, 80% into the video nearly before the wrap up

I legitimately love this game... played the hell out of it when it came out. Thor, you're the best bro thank you for being you and making this content. love you! also wondering if you would ever cover hybrid heaven from the n64

Nina Williams is who you instantly think of when someone says "Irish Assassin Videogame Character"

Babe, wake up, New ThorHighHeels video!!

You know, everytime i see Nina williams i think "wow, she must be from a Tekken game"

I knew you’d make a video on this game eventually. I feel like if the controls could just be reprogrammed to buttons like an actual action game, this game would have been super fun.

I had a lot of fun with this game at the time. It was trying out experimental game mechanics and while not all of the ideas were executed well, it was still cool and unlike others in the same genre.

I hyped this video before I watched it so much and shared it to my friends who know how much I adore the campy naughty sister Nina. I didn't know this game existed and getting it now narrated by my favourite youtube content creator has been a gift.

Was not prepared for THE TEAM part deux featuring Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series

This game genuinely looks incredible and I am going to play it now! Thanks for the excellent coverage as always 😊

I love this game, its a mix of Resident Evil with Metal Gear and Tekken. The controls are absolutely shit but if you put hundreds of hours to master it, you can do extremely complex combos as if it was a fighting game. I wish the controls were easier but without the sensitive right stick to do the attacks it wouldnt be possible to include every single move Nina has. It has tons of secrets and replayability, a pretty good story and the best personality and background Nina ever had before Harada turned her into a meme.

Okay low key hyped for that look at the Tekken 2 aesthetic, it's something I always adored back when it was new and while the series has kept a little bit of it nothing has really matched up to my memories of 8th grade sleepovers where the game would be played for hours on end.

ever since I first found out about this game through you I’ve always hoped you’d do a video on it!

I love how we never know when the intro is coming

You've done it again, you crazy bastard.

tekken is one of my childhood favorites. excited to watch this

The controls in this game seem like something someone came up with at the last moment so the game was different from Namco’s Urban Reign from the same year. You look at Tekken's Nina Williams in: Death by Degrees and it’s kind of like: Damn, I wish this had played more like Urban Reign.

This is exactly like how I remember that one PS1 game where you press directions as shown on screen to fight. Except the reality is that this one lets you actually move your character.

Fun fact this was the first game I played on an emulator. Its very special to me. They really nailed the atmosphere in some areas to the point where i just stopped and had to soak in the vibez. The controls take a bit to get used.

Thank you Mr. Heels. Perfect video to relax to as the edibles hit and I'm all relaxed. To tell you the truth I was a Tekken fan but at the time I never heard about the game. So the marketing campaign wasn't enough.

Also first Tekken Game to be rated M by ESRB

Thanks for showing more games with this type of gameplay.

This was a fun video, got to appreciate some bits of death by degrees but I still don't think I'd play it Looking forward to the Tekken 2 video though!

Bro at this point your content is better then dunky, keep your head up king. Good luck on the next album

Gods, I remember being kinda hype for Death By Degrees, and then playing a borrowed copy. I was too proud to play on Beginner. I really should have stuck with it, the game does look really neat from what you've shown.

This game reminded me of the little bonus game from Tekken 5, with Jin journeying into a lab by Mishima Zaibatsu, where he faces off against a clone of Orge.

I watched Majin Obama play this.

Gotta click the like button in time with the ending gunshot. It's mandatory. Something about the combat footage leads me to believe that they intended a system with high and low attacks to get around shields and the like, but the flinging stick thing just doesn't fit it. Why they couldn't do a Devil May Cry-esque control scheme is a question for the ages.

Death by the grease

Kasumi and Ayane from Doa were supposed to have their own stand alone games like Nina too.

hearing "Buy Mode" really launched me into a whole other mental state

I feel like this game would be a kinda janki but charming cult classic kinda deal if they used a more playable combat system with the like, buttons

At this rate, Thor will put the "So I've been playing" at the end of the video

The PS2 spin-off we should had was Devil Within. Instead of that effortless 鉄拳TEKKEN 5 beat ‘em up existing, it would be an open-world M-rated game starring Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima as playable protagonists. Jin's story mode being a River City or Yakuza-like adventure and Kazuya's being a Grand Theft Auto-like crime spree. Also Heihachi Mishima as a major boss and unlockable character after the entire game is 100% complete.

THE Nina Williams!?

This game has 2/3 of this channel's name in it.

Nina Williams Real Estate- made me laugh for several minutes. Well done sir!

hi i love ur music idk about ur channel i probably wont watch cause im goated like that but just wan2 say please make more its awesome

missed you my guy

Love you thor. I'm up for another aesthetics video like the 90's square renders one.

Wow all the games you play are the ones I remember and love in a Jank sort of way. Love the content never go mainstream with the games keep them hidden Jankserpieces coming. Waiting for you to do a video on chaos break by capcom hint hint !!! Pure Jank

another really great video, its crazy how much you became my favorite content creator so quick ! You have all my encouragements :)

I would prefer to buy a house from Anna tbh.

That Sims music hit me with a wave of nostalgia.

I literally just found out this game exists and as soon as I did I thought “I need to hear ThorHighHeels commentate over this”

Thank you for your well thought out and insightful videos. They are really fun to watch. Keep up the great work. P.S. I think the Idea that pluton is a Mole is really cool lol

“Fuck shit ass controls” couldn’t have put that better myself

There's a channel on youtube that still covers the game and it's many secrets and easter eggs. Big thumbs up to ChaseSummers

Honestly Death by Degree's can still make a comeback as a Hitman style game starring Nina, Anna and Steve. You can throw in Lei for the Jackie Chan flavor.

This game was a serve tbh. Only a few people knew how to appreciate it

This all very cool…but when’s the Mokujin spinoff?

Hahahahaha when you said "it's too many notes!" and the music went even more dudu-dududu-dudu nææn nænænæn (continues with way too many notes)

Thor loves Tekken? I love Tekken. Awesome.

TEKKKEN VIDEOO LETS GOOO

I always look forward to your videos, you seriously put your back into this stuff!! ❤ God bless

Holy shit, Brian the Lion music!

Good for her but she never reached the iconic status of Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball

I loved the intro music to this game 🙈

It's nice to know Nina has a side job selling mcmansions in between tekken games

Another amazing video you always find some interesting stuff

Funny enough, Rise To Honor's analogue stick combat felt kinda ok cause Jet Li is fast AF boi. (I never finished it)

I love nina williams from tekken

It reminds so much of Dino Crisis 2 but as beat em up

Thank you so much for covering this. Junky but really one of my favorite games of all time 👏🏽

I am glad to see the ladder climbing music tradition continuing

The curse of Nina mains is being reminded this exist every single fucking time and I hate it.

i can see this game is DUMP-STARE FIRE

You're supposed to time your strikes with the enemy's in order to parry, its actually quite fluid and gets you into a rythm once you nail it down. I won't stand for the bismirching of tank controls and fixed camera angles.

It's my favorite dude bro Thorhighheels!! Let's go dancing!

I believe theres a few Tekken bootlegs on the NES which are hilarious to play. Could be interesting topic to tackle some of the weird bootleg fighting games as theres quite alot of them.

I remember the demo of this... I never understood it

Thor with the Hannibal Burress reference, lmao. Thanks for that.

we wait with bated breath to hear the next meandering :3

Daaang heard of this ... all things considered I'm glad Nina got her own game though. She always stood out as a character in Tekken for me for some reason ...

Wow i have to play this game. Its trying to do literally so much and i respect that.

ENTER THE Degrees

"oh, Thor, you got something new? Right when I just rolled one up? And had a nice time at the literature festival and on town before that?" Aaaaah, life is good, bring the poetry and rhyming skung, yes please, it fits my evening so well atm ♥

Hey big dog, I really need you to check out Radiata Stories on the PS2. Criminally underrated JRPG that is super unique. If anyone could do the intricacies justice it would be you. I'd love for the game to get a little more exposure too because it's one of my favorites but no one has heard of it. Just know that it is a bit of a time investment.

Alright thor you really grab my attention with your thumbnail design...what exatly u use to create all of those funky looking fonts and thumbnail those are just so cool

Dam son take a look at this.

Holy cow, you're getting 10k views in 6 hours. Good on you.

Nina Williams drinking a 40 in a death basket

Nina

2:32 That's exactly what I was thinking. The game looks damn good and interesting. But no way I'm messing with those goofy controls. 12:30 I see what's coming. When you're 84% through the video and forgot about the intro and get surprised by it.😯

Robot on wheels ost, what a treat

Are you telling me that a Tekken spinoff has Grabbed by the Ghoulies gameplay

New record on the intro

“Bermusi Triang”

I remember hating the controls in this game

Loved this game

They made the weird choice to fuse two polar opposites styles beat'em x spy aand spreaded themselves too thin with a bunch of useless/bad stuff compromised the main game. In the boss at the pool you're supposed to dodge by tapping left stick and using x-ray attack and drinking eater to beat him but the game doesn't teach you that

I think there was some popular Jet Li game at the time that also used sticks for combat - it also sold poorly. I can't help but think it was a last minute decision to ride on that hype.

Completely forgot about this game 😢...
