Got to give a dislike for showing English dub of the gamera movie

Weird ranking, but i guess from somebody who never played Pinball in real life. Psycho is objectively the best as it at least tries to be actual Pinball with believable tables and ball physics that again, at least try to be realistic. Devil's Crash is ok, but just like all the others suffers from extremely bad ball physics. Crue Ball is like the Wish version of this game and just bad all around, empty table, not a lot of ideas and you can tell the Mötley Crüe license was slapped on at the last second. Dragon's Revenge, you can tell it wasn't made by the same team as Devil's Crash and is mediocre at best. Sonic Spinball is crap. Dino Land is even worse and Virtual Pinball a rather pathetic attempt at a pinball editor. They aren't worth anybodys time.

PS1 definitely my favorite console & games. Nothing beats ps1

Really can't stand what IGA did to this series. I get people love those games (and I do too, as it happens) but even he admitted he was fundamentally changing everything about Castlevania and what it was to suit what he wanted to make. And that's just it, you say the 64 Castlevania is an outlier, but it wasn't. Beyond the whole it being 3d thing, it's 100% in line with the original series. It's also the last ever bit of media, in any medium, to be made in the original style and idea of what Castlevania was. Everything about it, from it's gameplay ideas/focus, it's atmosphere, visual style, all of it is very reminiscent of the original trilogy (particularly the original game). Whereas SotN is nothing like those games. At all. Because it wasn't meant to be. It was a spin off title, that Konami didn't really care about, so they had total creative freedom to make it totally different. Yet somehow, SotN became the blueprint for almost all Castlevania media released since, whilst a game that actually resembles Castlevania is deemed an outlier. It's really pretty ridiculous. Talking about closed mindedness, the later reboots like Lords of Shadow and the Netflix show (which are both themselves very different from the original Castlevania titles) somehow get blasted for changing the lore or the style of the series when compared with the "source material". The source material people are referring to? The IGA era games that changed everything about Castlevania and didn't remotely resemble their source material. You couldn't make it up. It's just an utterly insane direction that this franchise went in. It's a real shame that the 64 titles ended up being the last breath of Castlevania before it's name got adopted by a series of reboots/soft reboots that weren't remotely interested in being what Castlevania was to begin with. (I like the IGA titles, LoS and the netflix show, but doesn't change the above at all)

Just who are you to call Seikima's demonic reality a fictional persona? I saw them in concert in 1989 and those beast creatures breathed fire.

I'd love to see your deep dive into Huntdown, Super Cyborg, Blazing Chrome and Valfaris in the near future :)

Matt God Furniss. Is that a Wiz n Liz capture?

I love the Contra series and Contra, Super Contra and Contra III are some of my fav childhood games (I don't remember playing Hard Corps as a kid, but I watched a playthrough of it around 2016, and played it as an adult on the Contra Anniversary Collection for the PS4 around 2019. And it became my most beloved Contra game) :D

Beautiful ❤️

Since when was PS1 psychedelic af...? 👽

Some bangers from the low poly era that an old guy like me wasn't totally aware of!

30:32 Diver’s Dream - Little Cave - Could have sworn this was Aquatic Ambience at first

The Vortex species looks scary to us, but I wonder if humans and dolphins look scary to them?

Decap attack was my favorite game. I wish I could find a copy to play.

Destination village sounds like the save room in resident evil remake it the piano note gave it away

This right here is a total vibe.

A great addition to the low poly atmosphere

PART 2!?!? aaaaa hell nah bro Christmas came early 😭🕺

Another Mind - Ripples on Mind. That hit a spot. I didn't even know it was a PS1 game.

Einhander! Still one of the funnest rail shooters ever made. Had that Fifth Element urban scifi aesthetic and some of the tightest controls & weapons selection I ever seent

18:14 Famicom Detective Club part 2 has had a fan translation for like 20 years man....

Renny Blaster is sick and a solid game.

This is really good.

Man, this music saved me!

Great video

Good vid.

Do not underestimate the power of the PlayStation! 🎮

Two extremely solid 5/10s

Real ones know this is an avant garde masterpiece and one of the most interesting games on the NES.

44:58 Have you played Demon's Tilt on modern platforms? If you like Devil's Crush, I can't recommend it enough. A sequel just came out, too: XenoTilt.

I LOVE LADY KONG (flashes rapidly)

Man, what great sets those PS1 mixes are! Awesome, thank you for that, keep up making them :) Maybe I can propose a late 90s-early00s PC era set, too? ;)

Baroque ! 👍 previously a japanese-only game that recently had a fan-made english translation 🙏 1st person dungeon crawlers are never too many

I tried to play this game so many times as a kid but it was just too much lol

Brilliant mix

Watermelon DO NOT finish games, or when they do, they might ship the game to you - or not. But they certainly will take your money. Absolutely not to be trusted. The ooze game loks awesome, a bit like a topdown version of Carrion (and much earlier).

Idk I'm high it's 2am and I'm alone. This is maybe too spooky. I have a condition with "paranoid" in the name... but why can't I turn it off? The music is lulling me in...

Lickarcade used to run Kong. Very cool and short run!

8:50 Fire Temple music from Ocarina Of Time in the background

I felt like Kong would win by virtue of it being more "true to kaiju" - surely, that must be a factor here. I mean, you don't even get to play as Gamera in _his_ game. That's kinda stinky, lol. I like this format and idea a whole lot and would love to see it return to the channel in some form. There really are a load of "Kaiju" and "Tokusatsu" inspired games out there and this would be a good way to highlight them gradually (rather than doing one of your awesome, signature "Every xxx game on the yyy" style videos) and it's fun to take stuff that has no business duking it out either because of genre differences or time period/platform differences, and arbitrarily declaring a winner, lol. Imagine taking Rampage and comparing it to City Shrouded in Shadow. Or Godzilla Domination GBA and pitting it against its blatant inspiration, the King of Monsters games? Kaiju Wars vs The Movie Monster Game for the C64? Throw in a few Ultraman fighting games versus stuff like OverRide 2 or Gigabash, or even dabbling in Earth Defense Force games versus Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Video Game? There's so much potential here - you could have a pretty interesting series, man. Even if this Kaiju Throwdown is a one-off, great work as always!

I remember watching the Gamera movies on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Given that the riffing to them were funny.

used this as soft sleep music! not bad actually 👹👍🏼 Always loved the music from Genies. Required actual talent to mix.

King Kong could beat Gamera in a fight

I just love hearing gamers describe a game as not too challenging that Ive struggled for weeks and months to beat, makes me very aware of how much I suck, keeps me humble, thank you Mr. error. The famicom Kong game is legitimately fun.

About time Gamera 2000 got some more attention

Nice double dose of reviews! Both games look very worth picking up. And who doesn't like cheesy FMVs?? Especially when the fmv image quality is legit good for its time.

I find it interesting how the tone of the playlist changes and evolves. It starts nostalgic, wishful, and melancholic, but slowly evolves to become rather drab, tired, and weary. Then, at the end, starting by Solitude and Prayer, it shifts to become more hopeful and poised, to finally finish with the more assertive and inspiring Tree of Life. I don't know if that was the intent, but it feels like while much of the playlist reminds us of the joy of the past and the sorrow of being lost, it still encourages us to move toward the future instead of lamenting too much.

Hello. BIG THANKS

Swords and serpents is a good halfway point between Fantasy and Horror.

R-type 1 was one of the first hucards (number 6 or 7?) and from interviews it was either compromise on the visuals/gameplay or release it in two episodes. The US version was launched later, when devs had more skills (and or maybe a bigger hucard).
