Reviewing *ALL 50* Konami Nintendo Games! 

Ha, I figured it was retroactively beloved because of the PSX version. ;-)

It's not just bad localization, it's an entirely different game. The game was redesigned and not cared for by the original creator.

@@SockFullOfCatLitter yea, for some reason they changed so many things during localization that they're more or less 2 different games. They share a lot of the same map layout, but a lot has been moved around or changed completely. Some of the game mechanics were changed too. It's kind of crazy that they put in quite a bit of extra work to bring it to the West and completely butchered the translation. With a proper English translation patch, I don't think the game is bad, just different. The reason to pay the MSX over the NES version is to experience the game as Kojima intended.

In the US maybe, in Japan, the MSX version was pretty popular, hence why it got an MSX sequel, then the series shifted to the infamous PS1 version.

Metal Gear didn't become AAA until it came on the Playstation as MGS.

Probably true. I personally don’t find it compelling.

It's pretty good once you get the game down but I've only gotten two of the three endings. The best ending I can't run through the game anywhere near that fast.

it's just a different format if you're used to the original (which got revived in III)

Without Contra and Super C I’d be far less interested in the NES!

The game is great! Never seen the comic…

They also had action figures and a cartoon. The cartoon only ran one season but I enjoyed it.

Time for lunch!

And Good Night from other side of Atlantic🙃

To each his own!

what did you love about the game?

Contra, Super C, Castlevania... How can you go wrong?

Only shooting upwards totally confuses me!

​@@GregsGameRoomthink of the machine gun as your secondary weapon

I can see that.

assume u mean Castlevania! 🦇

@@udance4ever Yes

They were frankly amazing! Well, mostly…

@@GregsGameRoom when you disliked a game, you didn’t hesitate at all to let us know 😂😂

Top Gun isn’t too bad. SS is just very dull.

@@GregsGameRoom I agree. It was so boring watching him play it.

LOL, the those pirate games crack me up!

@@GregsGameRoom I love them 🤣 I have another one on a famicom cartridge called Super Bros. Mario 16 lol. It's the nes game Whomp Em only with Mario in it! Lol. It was alot cheaper than the actual Whomp Em NES cart lol

Actually, Rush'n Attack is the American title while Green Beret is the Japanese and European title.

What does it mean?

@@GregsGameRoom Blades of Steel. Just making fun of the commentator.

Haha, exactly. Those games should have come with the copy of Nintendo Power to help you figure it out!

LOL

too bad they lost their mojo...

Konami was the best! Wish they would focus on new console games…

Great, now I’ll be calling it Gladius!

It's actually not Engrish in this case. It's really just Gradius, even if gladius is also a thing.

​@@gertytk5528 No, he was accurate. It was Gladius, and they engrished it to gradius like he said. It was describing the shape of the ship. Now it is a word, yes, but only because of that process so that is meaningless to consider in the context of explaining specifically the reason the pronunciation is Grad (like college graduate) eous, like erroneous statement. That context is exactly the pertinent information to address the confusion over the pronunciation.

​@@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase The Gradius creator has specifically said that it is Gradius, and it's just a coincidence that it could also be interpreted as engrish from gladius. Gradius is the name of the planet, the ship is Vic Viper. Besides if it really was just engrish, surely they would have corrected that at some point. Instead to this day, even the last game in the series is called Gradius.

@@gertytk5528 The name of the planet shit is all press junket hype. Yes, it's always been Gradius. And the Gladius story was from people at Konami too. I believe the marketing team. The autuer bullshit they sell you fan boys is a joke. It's engineering, not story telling. All that "I wanted ti tell a story..." is complete fucking ad hoc made up tripe. Nice try, though. Yeah, I've heard the shit they say. I will never believe any of these celebrity video game directors over the business guys especially the ones on the US end after they quit because you can't ever break kayfabe in Japan, but sure... it's school yard rumors that came from nowhere, good thing the real imagineer has put that to rest. Na, I'd need something more than an internet Google searchers proof, sorry. Seen too much in real life to unsee from one of those charlatans goofy sales pitch bullshit, thanks. I'm sure he wanted ti make the world better with his products and raise awareness and all that shit too. Cooool.

Not bad, just flawed.

Konami releases on the Sega Genesis were better than their SNES counterparts. I like both consoles but just saying.

I don’t doubt the Genesis versions are better!

LOL, well maybe that homebrew for 7800 Castlevania will materialize one day. ;-)

@@GregsGameRoom fingers crossed!

​@@GregsGameRoomCastlevania AGA is coming along nicely & in beta!

That was developed and published by EA.

@@GregsGameRoom woops I didn't read the wiki far enough. Good morning!

By the way thanks for the video. I enjoyed it and subbed to your channel. 👍
