ONE BIT I TOTALLY FORGOT TO PUT IN THE VIDEO! The artbook says that Cy was just meant to be a joke reference to Metal Sonic, which I guess explains why they don't follow up on it as a cliffhangar. It wasn't meant to imply a second game as much as it was just a silly bonus clip, my guess.

Nitro Rad is one of the last game reviewer that i know, that hasn't completely abandoned the game review part for a sketch and story. And knowing how much nitro love doing thoses, i appreciate it.

I love it so much how they didn't just forget that Ty has a family and you can actually visit his parents and even brother. They could've just made up some excuse as to why they are not in this game, especially Sly, he could've just go off on his own adventure since he's presented as a lone too cool for school guy. Instead they put them all in the game as an impostant part of gameplay, tht's so neat. And Sly settling down to become a boomerang merchant is unironically adorable

Fun fact cassowarys were one of the few things that scared Steve Irwin and the dude regularly dealt with crocodiles so that’s saying something

I love that the developers reached out to Nitro Rad personally to let him know that they took his reviews and feedback into consideration. That, to me, is the mark of a good game maker. 👍

Funnily enough, the mud DID serve a purpose in the original, it actually slowed you down enough so that the next area would load. That was one of the big goals for Krome was to have almost no loading screens, so sometimes they had to implement stuff like that to fulfill it.

Fun fact actually, the mud and sand sections that slowed you down DID serve a purpose in the original. According to the developers, the mud was meant to slow the player and serve as a makeshift loading screen between areas. Because the consoles of the generation couldn't load the rest of the map on the fly, the mud and sand would slow you to a crawl so the parts of the map you were headed towards could load in. Now that the re-release is on more modern hardware, the rest of the map loads in while driving at normal speed, so the slow effect was removed.

James your Big Boss figure looks like he's fencing with a rifle.

The part where Square Eyed Jak came to bitch him out for getting the Aussie stuff wrong killed me 😂🤣😂🤣

Eggman pissing on the moon really changed the sonic series forever

Fun Fact: Once, Australia went to war against emmus (same family of birds as the cassowary). Australia lost. So, yeah. Boss Cass makes a great villain.

Wasn't expecting to see Square Eyed Jak in this video. Lol

I'll be checking the reddit for a "Big Boss Cass" Fan art any day now.

I was not expecting the Square Eyed Jak cameo. But such a nice inclusion

"I don't know I'm from Nova Scotia!" This radiates so much energy

Finally, the remaster we’ve all been waiting for.

Today was a pretty good day. Metroid dread and then nitro rad.

Your reviews are always so comfy and takes me back to a time of simple joys and childlike wonders. I’m immunocompromised so I’m not always the healthiest, but these blasts from the pasts help me get through the rough times. Thank you so much.

Damn Nitro it took Square eyed Jak to educate you on what a cassowary is, well look on the bright side at least you won't get a bunch of people commenting "He's a cassowary not an ostrich" anymore lol.

13:45 he was having so much fun he didn't even try to hide the laughter. Bless you, Rad.

I don't know how to categorize it, but the "extra details" in this video were great. Specifically the little artwork bumper about Ty's movement around 11:30 - the artist you've been featuring has such an amazing style and it worked so well with their illustrations of Ty! The cameo was also a real nice treat, since I'd been watching that guy's Tony Hawk stuff here and there

Never thought I'd see Square Eyed Jak guest starring in one of your vids- but I'm very happy he did! 😄

I'm into the more upbeat tone of these Ty revisits, right down to the brighter and happier thumbnails! It definitely helps that these versions are improved over the originals in ways, but I like the greater emphasis on the highs this time around. Has me interested in eventually picking these up when I'm working again (here's hoping that'll be soon!).

4:44 It's funny you mention that, cuz as much as I love Ratchet, the only time the rail-grinding was interesting was Deadlocked, where you could whip out your pistols and shoot at enemies while grinding. They never brought that back, for some reason...

You're an inspiration, dude!

Mad props getting Square Eyed Jak in on this!

_"I am liking the learning of English, oohoohooAAH"_ Almost spat my drink out at that line

I totally forgot about the punching Bionicle! Through your videos I've been slowly reminded how deeply invested in those toys I was for a while. They were by far the most fun toys I had to play with, and they were all cool as hell!!

"I don't wanna hear about your problems" that line got me laughing so much.

Finally, Nitro Rad. Miss you, dude. Long time no see.

That burp transition was genius

Ty 2's, and by extension the entire series', soundtrack is so iconic and memorable in my mind that whenever I hear chill guitars in a classic rock or pop song, I'm immediately reminded of this game. It's both a blessing and a curse, but overall I'm glad that I got to experience this great, atmospheric game as a kid.

12:58 that Square Eyed Jak cameo was beyond phenomenal!

SQUARE EYED JAK WAS IN THIS VIDEO? HELLO?! two of my favorite youtubers crossing paths? yes please

Good point about Ty 3 there. Having enemies that are vulnerable to certain elements would certainly make the elemental boomerangs much more useful. Especially if the enemies still have that high health pool, but take a LOT of damage from the element they're vulnerable to, so if they end up being spongy, it's because you're not using the right tool.

Remasters is always a perfect opportunity to improve upon the original in the quality of life department, and Ty really benefits from that the most, with potential future updates for it going forward on top of it. But with how different Ty 3 is, it'll be quite interesting to see how the remaster pans out.

The sad thing about these games are, the games were remastered a few years ago and people are now just finding put about them.

What an icon, creates an entire country just to avoid getting arrested

I remember this one being considerably better than Ty 1 to me, and also that my disc was scratched to where it would stop working at a certain point.

One more thing: Square Eyed Jak?! I love that guy! I didn’t know that you guys knew each other! Hi, Jak!

Glad your continuing your look back on the Ty series .

Well this has been quite a review, crikey. Also didn’t expect that crossover.

When I was like 9, I was gifted an old original Xbox from my uncle with 3 games, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 being among them. I remembered Ty being amazing, but after replaying it on the switch, I realize back then I only made it through like 10 percent of the missions. I would say this is one of the most underrated early 2000’s platformers.

20:10 There's something equal parts wholesome and hilarious about James's excited glee at spamming the Deadlyrang on a platoon of unsuspecting Frills.

Super excited to see this get a revisit! Love the quirky quick edits on the monkey and when the truck crashes! The speedrun community used to joke a lot (like you said similarly) that the sub bunyip is a reskin of the helicopter. I spent some time last year doing research with Cheat Engine to find memory values in the game and I found that they literally do use the exact same memory values, while every other bunyip/vehicle uses unique ones, meaning they quite literally are just reskins lmao (also don't worry we also hate the racing and lifter bunyips in speedruns too looooool)

Can’t wait for your review of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO i've been meaning to rewatch your ty reviews again so this is a Treat :]

Thank you so much dude! For giving this series the love it deserves!

new nitro rad? i'm so glad!

I've evolved past the need for KZfaq notifications. Whenever Nitrorad uploads I can feel it in my soul.

The rim lighting on this episode is just 😎👌

I absolutely love the production value here. Your videos have seriously gone from great to amazing over the years. Keep it up James 👍🏼

Now they need to remaster the 3rd ty game. Supposedly the worst one that I didn't know existed until a few years ago when i owned the first 2 since I was a kid.

OH MY GOD. A SQUARE EYED JAK AND NITRO RAD CROSSOVER. HELL YES.

It's about time one of you video essay making weirdos covered Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 & 2. Underrated.

I LOVE this review. I looks like you had a good time and it’s infectious!

The Jak cameo was epic

I missed you man. Welcome back bro ❤️

Your videos never fail to make me feel both intrigued and comfy at the same time

This review has me hype. I'm glad that you're covering the remasters cause it really pushes me to play through them again. keep up the good work, left a like to bump the vid

This looks like a great game that I never ever heard of. I'm very happy the devs did a remaster of the game and made very intuitive changes, that's gonna give their game a longer lifespan.

Well thank you so much for requesting gyro aiming, because that made some sections that gave me trouble as a kid an absolute and pleasant breeze!

Amazing vid, as always! Such an underrated channel. All the love from Ontario, Canada :)

I love this series. I’m glad you’ve covered it a couple times. You’re one of the only channels I’ve ever watched to cover this series. Makes me happy. Not many people I know knew what Ty was growing up

While E3 may have been subpar, at least we can sit down at the end and enjoy a new nitro rad video

I remember trying to climb up that upwards angled road only to continuously fail.

James i always look forward to your videos. I adore how well paced each video is and I often fall asleep to your videos and have to watch them again, and I don't mind that at all. Your Ty videos were some of the first i saw and I've stuck around ever since.

I'm happy you're revisiting this series. The Ty games were what drew me into the channel in this first place, and it's been awesome seeing everything grow since then.

I am Australian and this episode was hilarious 😂

Got my man Square Eye Jack

This was my childhood I remember replaying the final level again and again and again just to get enough orbs for all the rangs and deadly rang, me and my dad did it together as he watched me one of my best memories with him love this game so danm much

12:03 James out here making one of those "All Bosses" video thumbnails mid-video.

We really need the Bionicle review more than ever now. Especially if it includes the punchy ones.

Gee Ty, how come the industry lets you have TWO remasters?

Hey NitroRad. Not sure if your read comments or not, but I just wanted to say thanks for doing these videos for 3D platformers. I never heard of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger before, but after watching your videos of the first & second Ty games, I would gladly check these games out, when I can. I will buy them for my Nintendo Switch of course. Ever since I played games like Spyro The Dragon, I have been very interested in trying out some different 3D platformers, but because I only grew up with the PS2, I didn't have that many options, aside from maybe Ratchet & Clank 1 from 2002 (if that counts as a platformer), but that's about it. I didn't know about Sly Cooper & Jak & Daxter until many years later. When watching your videos, your remind me of the days when video games were suppose to be fun, unique & experimental. And it always gives me good vibes & very nostalgic feelings.

Love the consistent quality dude. 👌👌👌

In spite of that ad that had Ty scare Sonic, Crash, and Spyro in the hospital, I feel that all three would get along with him. Also I was shocked that they got the idea to add gyro aiming after seeing your video

Oh boy a nitro rad remake, it’s old bit also new at the same time

Love these games and its so good to see you revisit and rereview these great games.

Nitro Rad, I just wanted to thank you for all the reviews and videos you do. I am literally going through a rough time right now but watching your video made me laugh when I needed it most. So thank you.

I’ve recently listened to every NitroRad and AntDude reviews while working. I gotta say dude I agree with your points a lot more, just from what you value in a game minus a few things with horror.

Cool! I wasn’t expecting you to review this game until the PS4 version dropped! I backed this game, I don’t regret doing so, and I’m REALLY looking forward to The Doomeranger part 2! It’s a comic they promised to make if they reached a specific stretch goal, which they did! Speaking of, how are you reviewing this game?

I found you through your early Ty and Silent Hill videos, and seeing you cover Ty again is absolutely making my heart react happily. Love your channel, stay cool man.

So glad you gave this game a second look like you did the first when it got remastered! Ty 2 was always my favourite of the trilogy as well and I'm glad it's getting more of the recognition it deserves nowadays.

E3 and nitro rad new video lets goo

32:30 oh my god, Tys fighting heartless?

I have fond memories from this game. It really was the best. Thanks for covering it!

Yoo! A new video yesss, love your work!

I freaking love the second game of TY

8:46 the editing really threw me off on that one, I like it when I can tell this is the first time or first time in a while you or other creators make an certain joke or edit because it always feel weird and makes it funnier whenever someone who has an signature way of doing something on KZfaq breaks it.

Not many people have talked about these games and they hold a very special place in my heart and I’ve never seen your videos on these games but I appreciate you giving them the treatment they deserve

Glad you're returning to this series!

Nitro Rad: Ty 1 My brain: Taiwan

Someone's gonna be happy about that fatal frame announcement

This brings back memories of playing Ty 2 during my secondary school days.

With the Australian animal explanation, toy demonstration and your enthusiasm for the opening segment of the game, it's clear to see you had a lot of fun making this video, as I did watching it. It's also really cool that your videos got recognised by the developers and your feedback considered.

We're gonna see the full trilogy being reviewed aren't we?

It would be cool to continue revisiting other games you may have been too hard on in the past. I played Ruff Trigger and thought it was very fun, even though you used it in several videos as an example of terrible games from the era.

12:58 Yooooo I never thought id see Square Eyed Jak and Nitro Rad in the same video, amazing lmao.

I love this game like I love Wind Waker. So much personality. And I actually enjoy the driving sequences. The beautiful backdrops of Southern Rivers is just amazing to me. I do wish the game was paced better but it's still a great sequel, and my personal favorite of the series. And it still baffles me how there isn't a TV show about Ty. Bush Rescue would make for a great show. Especially with characters like Murray, Dennis, Fluffy, and of course Boss Cass.
