Kiddy is my favourite Kong and is even better than Donkey (cuz Kiddy has the water bounce tech). Imagine when he grows up. DKC3 was my first DCK game and Kiddy my childhood hero. So all of the whining haters like the maker of this vid, keep crying

Just recently finished Bopopolis for the first time. I get what you mean when you say you reach a state where your muscle memory sort of takes over and you almost subconsciously flow through the movements until you break through and beat the level. I just don't know if I would call it a zen-like state because I wanted to throw my controller through the TV the entire time.

I remember when Yoshis story for n64 came out I was in 6th grade I told some friends I was excited to play it and their response was, “wait, isn’t that game 2D?” I still have every single video game now as an adult as I had as a kid. I still go back to almost every one from time to time. I never lost my love for the old ones. I also love the new ones

I have never even touched tropical freeze and I have both a Wii U and a switch and I play both of them. Which version should I get? I can get Wii U for about 10 usd and switch for about 30

Although I never played DKC Returns as a kid necessarily, I got into the games in High School thanks to your videos on the original series! And yeah, I'm really excited for Returns HD, price tag be damned.

This is possibly one of the greatest retro reviews I have ever seen. This video has given me so much more perspective and respect for the original Metroid.

At 1:25 there is a row of old Sega Genesis cabinets. I've had one sitting in my basement for years. Just the cabinet, no monitor or Genesis. The cabinet used to sit in my dentists office but they are friends and one day when I was really young I asked if I could buy it and he just gave it to me lol. I've been entertaining the idea of building a PC inside of it since I would have to track down a new genesis as well as some parts for how the controllers would sit in the machine. Does anyone have any info on those cabinets? What are they worth?

Wow, I never actually thought of it like that. They designed the N64 controller to avoid letting developers use the D-Pad as a crutch, so they'd be forced to make the analog stick controls work well. That's actually kinda clever.

I never played Super Mario RPG but my grandma always loved Paper Mario and I have most experience with the original Paper Mario because she prefers the original to TTYD, I think they’re pretty much on par with each other for me but I have a lot of nostalgia for the original

I heavily disagree with your and a lot of older fans feelings on Shadow. (The character not the game) Shadow is the Vegeta/Vergil of the Sonic series, and I find darker, tragic, and more serious characters like that extreamly cool and compelling. Plus his design and voice is badass. I dont like him more than Sonic, but hes my second favorite. (I do like Goku more than Vegeta as well though)

Looking back, I think this game did way more to ruin him for me than I even realized back when I made this video. I thought Shadow was awesome in SA2! It's just that the entire next five years of the series revolved around him, the tonal changes he brought with him got much more overdone, and most importantly the execution of all of those elements fell off a cliff, to the point that by the late 2000s I didn't really even *remember* that I used to like him. I have, to a certain extent, found a certain fondness for him again since this video, and I hope that SxS Generations can actually make him good again, haha.

This is my favorite prime game but its flaws are pretty big. You don't know where to go next until you're prompted on your advisor and then it's a mile Trek to get there on foot no warps. Excellent sequence, poor execution. However being trapped in the dark with metroid's in that one section did kind of throw me into a panic

Also this is a funny story but I had made it to the final boss during my first playthrough but it was too hard so I quit the game for a while and picked up Skyward Sword hd. When I went back to Metroid dread I completely forgot how to move Samus and I had to play the game again from the beginning. This is my second run

I love how her main objective after she wakes up is essentially GTFO. David Jaffe apparently never played another Metroid game because since the first game they've done stuff like that. And my instincts made the solution a matter of finding.

An actually good Metroid game with this game’s use of perspective would be so cool. The application of the 2D games’ properties to a 3D environment with 3D movement is such a cool idea.

Man my early memories of this game rule. I remember the first time I saw Samus I asked "Where's his head?" It was my first Metroid so I didnt know anything about Samus. I also absolutely LOVE how the game starts. Retracing your steps through Tourian on Crateria was SO rad

After many years I finally beat this game with an hour and 49 minutes but i mean it took FOREVER to get that bragging right. This is my least favorite for how confusing it is and I'm talking about the original game boy version

Being a Metroid fan is almost as hard as being a digimon fan. But I will say that my two favorite games in the series are Metroid 1 and Dread.

8:18:07 If it makes you feel any better, my nephew had the same experience as you. They shot the bottom block but not any other parts of the wall and got stuck. They asked me for help, but I hadn't played Dread for a long time and I also hadn't seen them shoot the bottom block of that wall, so it didn't occur to me that the game wanted you to shoot more of the wall any time soon. It took us a very long time to figure it out.

I was hyped about the game and absolutely loved it until I ran into Adam. Then I hated it. Here are my reasons and note how none have to do with gameplay. 1) Samus caves too easily. From not using her weaponry until Adam authorizes it despite being stronger than all of them and more suited than they are. She also caves with it comes to her PTSD with Ridley. After all of their encounters it's be like Snake freezing up when he sees his sixth Metal Gear. Impossible. 2) The references to motherhood are laid on so thick and so frequent it loses significance after the first time she states "Baby's Cry" is what she calls a distress signal. It's that fast maybe even faster. 3) Samus is the hottest she has ever been, and spends quite a bit of the story outside of her suit. I'd complain it ruins her character but her dialogue does that instead. It would have been nice to have her tell don't show, or show don't tell but they do both. And I found the gameplay and exploration fine. Better than Metroid 1 but Super Metroid this is not.

one of the most enphasized lessons in American business ed classes is literally "it is wrong for you to discuss your salary with other employees, and you should never do it". In other words, my country literally normalized the practice of "punishing employees for talking about salaries with other enployees" on the geounds that "it only causes problems and has no benefit to you or the company". Not saying it's a good thing, in fact it's horrifying.
