Forgotten Games: Tengai Makyou Zero [Far East of Eden Zero] - SNESdrunk 

Its a fun game

I love SNESDrunk too, as a younger fan. There are so many great games I otherwise would have never heard of, growing up around people who only care about the latest Fifa, COD, or, if you’re lucky, Nintendo first party game

You're saying this guy's create Sakura Wars! Wow,I mean it actually pretty unknown but for those who knew it,it was great! This also looks like a game I would play, Thanks for the info :)

@@chaser5616 Yeah, I think they changed their name to Red Entertainment or something, but they're responsible for SW too. I was surprised by that as well!

Am American, sounds legit to me.

Hopefully there will be a fan translation for Apocalypse someday...

Practically all of (North) America did not know about the Tengai Makyou (series), except for the Johnny the HappyConsoleGamer on youtube. He made a video over 11 years ago as of this comment about the Far East of Eden series. Wow!

*Solid Snake:* "Shitty Gear!?"

A lot of the enemies are really well designed, too! So full of unique character. Check out these dudes at 3:14 -- ANY other game would have totally made these guys palette swaps of each other. But this game would not let the designers relax for even a moment.

I thought Samurai Shodown RPG had happened?? Also, if you can read french, there's a french patch.

@@camillezaurin4460 is that the same guy that uploaded a playthrough of it years ago?

@@MrBroken030 It might have been. I never got his patch to work but then again I'm using lr-neocd, not neoraine, so I'm sure it works off his recommended emulator.

@Iamasillyboy Yesiam there is also a ps1 japan exclusive port of the samsho rpg!

@Iamasillyboy Yesiam it was on the Neo Geo Cd, actually I think it's the only exclusive on that system along with crossed swords II

That was the game that made me at 12 want to get a gba the most. I memba the preview in gameinformer. Never got to play it. Instead I tried magical star sign after finding it 2 years ago at a used record store and it’s pretty bad lol

@@mikebr9764 the combat system in vacation is pretty intuitive yet simple. I played a bit of starsign, but the battle system was overly complex and threw me off

Cool. I should try to find the English patched rom one day

The game is notoriously difficult to emulate, from what I've seen- specifically in the sound department. I downloaded and patched it myself and tested it in both VBA and No$GBA. No$GBA emulated the music properly, but only after a certain point- basically past the title screen and the intro, then complete silence barring sound effects. Meanwhile, VBA didn't emulate the sound correctly at all.

@@FoxMan_FF It works perfectly on retroarch and on myboy with some slight problems (it'll start lagging if you don't touch the screen for a while so just touching it fixes the problem) . I don't like using retroarch so I used myboy and it does the job well.

Been praying for a Tengai II translation for 25 years ...

probably because Developers are greedy and they don't want any risk, just go for the proven moneymakers

Because porting is very difficult and expensive. It's not just copy and pasting the code into a switch game or PS4 game or whatever. It costs time and money. And so they have to weigh the risk of whether people will actually buy it and whether they'll make enough money back to cover the cost of porting it, and maybe hopefully make a little bit of profit. But yeah it's difficult. There's a reason that there's game dev studios entirely dedicated to porting, like M2 for example, because you need experts to be able to do it and make it accurate and put in extra features such as save states. And that's just porting. Doing a official English translation (and don't forget, if the do that then they need to also translate it to Spanish, Italian, German, French etc and another dozen languages) costs a lot of money to do it properly and do it well, do it in a way that's faithful to the original story/text. Translators don't come cheap, and it takes a lot of time, a lot of back and forth between the original writers and the translators, correcting hundreds of lines and stuff. It takes ages. Remastering/remaking is even more difficult and expensive. It's literally remaking a game from the ground up, and somehow having to try and preserve the feel of the original game as perfectly and accurately as possible while also updating it. They have the advantage of not having the first 6 months of development that usually goes to designing the mechanics and the world and the controls etc, the game is already there designed and they just have to copy it. But still, remaking it from the ground up is just as hard as making a game from scratch, there's gonna be months and months and months of bug testing and general game testing. All that costs money, lots of employees to pay. It's all about money

@@Shinmsl They aren't "greedy", it's a business meant to make money. You think a company would run itself into the ground because someone wanted a rare remake? Companies that can spare the extra $change for fan service or appreciation of their older work are less likely to go belly up and also use it as marketing if it's worth it.

Well in this case Hudson rights are with Konami, and you know how they are with games now...

@@SaikyoKoutei And if they didn't, we'd all have to bank that someone from Hudson kept the original source considering this was the 90s and we all know how well many companies of that era didn't even bother to backing up stuff simply because the cost was so much.

I read your comment while drinking a Pumpkin Ale 🎩👌

Try treasure of the rudras it’s amazing. Deffo one of the best games not released in the west

Let's face it, you did a week of Rosetta stone and then gave up.

@@benjaminsmythe8967 right, like, why lie?

You saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay it like it's a bad thing

Not enough

I'm trying to think if there are *any* Final Fantasy games that can make that claim. I want to say FFVIII and FFIX are extremely good about it, with only a few enemies that are palette swaps. There were even decent reasons for doing it, like it's different ranks of soldier from the same nation, or a friendly version of an existing monster type that you can rarely find.

@@0Fyrebrand0 PS1 era games are fine. There was less space back then. The thing is they even keep doing it in FFXV for the PS4 ^^ (this is not unique to them of course but is always welcomed to see a RPG with unique enemies)

Did not know that! That's incredibly cool

yes

#1 reason why I couldnt finish Golden Sun xd

Yeah, GS is overrated af

I always use a mix of capture from my original SNES, Super NT and Snes9x/bsnes/whatever. The "sharp and clear" footage is probably because I never recorded the intro and opening scene when I first played it, so I just got it on an emulator.

@@SNESdrunk Ah, I got ya. I sort of figured that was the case.

I personally Don't think Snow Board Kids was ever worth playing as nobody bought the game back then hence why it goes for so much money today.

Totally worth, Snowboard Kids 1&2 were really good games! Multiplayer was really fun, like Mario Kart with snowboards.

@@barrymurphy4812 Don't know about that, me and my brother played the cheese out of that game. It was our Mario Kart. But sure, I feel a lot of people slept on it and missed out on a great game.

@@carlitobrigantels8678 Totally! There is not enough love for SbK! I'd love to see SnesDrunk give us his thoughts.

@@Deidara85 to be honest I never played it back in the day and to be honest I think the sequel is the game that now goes for mega bucks.

They're on PCE-CD, so fat chance. Not a very popular console with hackers/translators, mostly... but who knows, maybe one day.

Or try a different console like the PSP version for the 2nd game

Guess what, the first game just got an English translation.

Probably not. Lol. Maybe try out Crono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy 7 first

Also try out the action RPG named Terranigma!!!
