Are we not gonna talk about how one of the Ceratopsians literally runs on 2 legs like Otis from Back at the Barnyard because that takes this game from a 2-star to a 2-million star
Biollante is Godzilla's sister. Varan is a flying monster. If they were to have offspring, it would be a Godzilla-like creature that could fly, and would be considered Godzilla's nephew. The character of Godzooky from the Hanna Barbera Godzilla series is considered Godzilla's nephew, and is a flying monster resembling Godzilla. Was this your intent in pairing the two characters?
"This game was originally going to be a shmup but with dinosaurs in it but were forced to change it into a fighting game" At least we have Prehistoric Isle 2 to fill in that gap. Also funny reference you did there near the end in regards to quantity over quality in game development with what just happened last month with a Cyberpunk themed game.
The end dino parade cracks me up. Especially the run-cycle on that dinosaur seen 7:25 to 7:33. Pretty sure that's supposed to be a quadruped, which just makes the way it moves even more jarring!
Funnily enough, something that I know that none of you will never care about, there’s actually a 7th fighter dinosaur in the game that isn’t normally playable, only through hacking or as an enemy: Monoclonius. It’s basically a pallete swap of triceratops in game (And in real life, it’s basically merged with Centrosaurus).
When you mentioned that Dinorex was originally going to an arcade shooter with helicopters shooting at dinosaurs reminded me of the obscure arcade game; Prehistoric Isle in 1930 - an arcade side scroller released by SNK in 1989 were you pilot a World War 1 airplane flying through a prehistoric island set in the Bermuda Triangle (though the 4th world, involves you navigating a submarine underwater) shooting dinosaurs, pteranodons, cavemen, giant bugs, giant bats, and sea monsters. This game came before SNK launched the NEO GEO arcade cabinet and despite it's scientific inaccuracies and ridiculous boss battles, it was surprisingly a fun game. Though it is insanely hard and it will devour all your quarters like a Tyrannosaurus devouring a whole Stegosaurus. But you can play this hidden arcade gem in SNK 40th Anniversary and thankfully the sound effects are much better than Dinorex. In the late 90's, SNK made a sequel for the Neo Geo arcade console, Prehistoric Isle 2 with 3D graphics (somewhat like Rampage World Tour or Killer Instinct 1&2) and you pilot a helicopter saving a city from a dino invasion instead. So yes, SNK already beated Taito to the idea of an aircraft shooting dinos 4 years before they changed their idea into the cocaine infested, anal screaming ancestor to Primal Rage, Dinorex. 🛩🚁🦕🦖
No idea if you're still checking comments on this one, but I tossed the MIB Video Games playlist as background noise while sleeping last night, and was woke from sleep specifically by those goddamn dinosaur yells.
*WARNING: THE ROARS IN THIS VIDEO MAY CAUSE EARRPAE OR SOME HEAR LOSS* Apparently MIB was too lazy to add a warning in the beginning. So sorry Headphone users.
What even are those roaring animations? I had to pause the video at 2:01 just to point out how I thought those dinosaurs were snapping their own necks. Holy Gojira.
Just saying, in the background I see an opened space godzilla head from the trendmasters head toy line, will you review that since you didn’t review it in the original video and instead kept it because of it’s value?
Does anyone know how to play as the Monoclonius? He's an NPC in the base game, but I have this on an emulator, and I haven't found anyway to get him, but have seen people playing as him. Any ideas?
I saw a YT playthru; the bonus stages are actually flashbacks where you (the dinosaur) have the (unexplained?) goal of attacking the same man and the same high-rise building bonus stage after bonus stage until society reverts to a Mad-Maxian Flintstone network of settlements in South America who use dinosaurs to battle each other. The man survives to be the man in rags at the end of the game, which appears to take place in the future. It's like a strange dream.
The dino-helicopter shmup "Prehistoric Isle" had already been published in 1989 by a different company, and I'm unsure Senba was involved. Prehistoric Isle 2 and Dino Rex are now on Switch via Arcade Archives.
6:00 - 6:05 -- his posture is very much like the mutant dinosaur-man from BATMAN VS. THE NINJA TURTLES movie after he gets turned back into a human by Robin. I wonder now if that wasn't a reference to this or not.
@@MonsterIslandBuddies first of all: fuck me i need glasses. second: how do you have two of these extremely rare collectibles?how does this world work?am i so unlucky?are you so lucky? i cant take it anymore! best Wishes have a good day!
I don’t know if you were aware because I just learned this recently. But there was an arcade side scrolling shooter released in 1999 called Prehistoric Isle 2 where you’re a helicopter shooting dinosaurs. It doesn’t seem like Senba had anything to do with it’s still cool none the less.
There are combinations that are for this world. Frankenstein and the Wolf-man, King Kong and Godzilla, Freddy and Jason. This gives Dinosaurs and.... appeal. also Sure hope MIB saw my Endgame sequence.
Woah did my eyes decieve me? I think I just saw a Space Godzilla micro Head toy out of the box!!!! Or is that yhrbloose set that you finally found!!!! It looks nice regardless.
This game reminds me of At the Earth's Core and The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs (you might recognize both from the film adaptations, which had been reviewed by Brandon Tenold).
Also, the clay figurines mentioned in the intro are the Acambaro figurines, which are very popular with Young Earth creationists. Spoiler alert: Turns out, they are actually hoaxes made by some jerk who ripped off several villagers from a farming village so that he can make creationist artifacts that can also double as souvenirs sold to tourists. Also, the T-rex looks like Barney. Might as well have the T-rex sing, "I love you, you love me. We're a happy family...."
It's all in the body language my friend just because you cover your face doesn't mean that someone can't see that you're very expressive especially with the movement of your body thing as wild as MIB.
