And confirmation from Batman himself right here, above all! I mean, isn’t Donkey Kong Country on the GameBoy pretty okay, too? So I guess it’s just that the GameBoy was underestimated.
Man I owned Earthworm Jim 3D as a kid and it was the perfect example of a game that was too awful to enjoy, but that I was too young to really consciously know was bad. I was always just vaguely like "this is shitty and I wanna play Mario/BK instead but idk why" and I never beat the first boss.
Ah-ha! I knew i'd find you on one of vinny's videos. I like your videos a lot as well. I've never played the earthworm Jim game before. One game I recommend people play is Silicon Valley Space Station. It's a platformer that allows you to change into different characters, very similar to Mario oddessy. It's got a lot of charm, but it's also very flawed, and has an infamous glitch which makes it impossible to beat the game.
Funnily enough Earthworm Jim 3D was mostly bad because the Bosses were horribly programmed and impossible to beat, I was able to enjoy it, but only by using a gameshark to skip boss fights to see all the other stages. If they had retooled the bosses it would have been muchbetter.
Vinny stopping the emulation, causing Earthworm Jim 3D to freeze just as a rocket was about to barrel into his head caused a disgusting amount of ugly laughter in me
Hey vinny, i don't know that you are aware of this but the original version of earthworm jim had a code that mocks their rival donkey kong country. It replaces jim's head with donkey kong's head with an arrow because the creators felt that donkey kong took their fame so they instead insulted them. Also i believe in donkey kong country 2 or 3 that mocks earthworm jim on one of the score systems where jim is in a trash can and has zero place.
So much so that I thought it was meant to be a Mother Spinoff. Blues Brothers 2000 was made by Rare if I remember. This lead to rumors that the Blues Brothers from the N64 game would be playable in Melee because they showed up in the opening (of course this was the Runaway 69)
Was vinny accidentally playing PAL games on NTSC emultors (or vice versa)? In certain regions, TVs ran at 50FPS vs the US standard 60, so playing roms on the wrong emu causes speed-up and slowdown.
34:14 Wait my main man Vinny watches my OTHER main man Matthew McMuscular? That awesome! Also, to anyone in the know, why was Tazz not in that ECW game? Was he just gone from the company at that point?
Jessafur Look up RU-vid Vanced. You'll have to download an .APK and install it from your files but it's simple. No ads and you can play videos in the background.
@@ManthonyHiggs I turn off Adblock to support certain channels, but I'm going to have to stop doing that if it means that I'm hounded by constant ads from this far-right conspiracy theory newspaper.
Daikatana!!!! 😳 I spent hours in that game and got stuck at one part for years. Finally finished the game all the way through not even a couple years ago. It hasn’t aged well....
Luis Suazo I accidentally figured that crouch out. Just button mashing....but I also inherited the console from an uncle who had a few saves later in game. Got to a level called Acropolis, and couldn’t figure it out until literally a decade later 🤷♂️
I actually had this game on the N64 back in the day when I was too young to understand the concept of video games actually being bad. It was a frustrating and hellish experience I forced myself through.
I'll play devils advocate and say that Quest 64 isn't nearly as bad as its made out to be, at it's core the game had a lot of promise but ultimately got rushed to "completion" and suffered massively.
superman 64 was the quickest rental return ever for me. I'm talking within hours. But that Batman Beyond game looks to be about on par. Also Jet Force Gemini, Quake 2 and Turok: Rage Wars were the best N64 shooters IMO
i thought the batman beyond music was an emulation issue but found a video from the hardware itself and it REALLY sounds like that... woof edit: whoever said body harvest in the worst n64 games... i wanna talk to them, thats all
Just curious about the viewer's opinions on the N64 Game Space Station Silicon Valley. Good or bad in your opinion? I personally like it more than most N64 platformers!
Anyone else think Daikatana should be remade by the Shadow Warrior devs? If anyone could do a 180 with Daikatana with a remake, and make it actually good, it would be those guys. They do good first person sword and schut combat, and also have experience with oriental/bladerunner-y/futuristic environments.
I know this is bad shit but I miss my n64. First it broke, got a new one, but my brother has been 'borrowing' it for nearly two years now. Seeing mods like Smash Remix makes me wanna find how to port those to cartridges too. I've actually been thinking of Batman Beyond too lol. Watched it a lot way back and randomly remembered it, shame the game sucks.
Its a flawed but enjoyable game, It isnt the way 2 was, but there wasnt a good way to capture the same feel in 3D with 64 capabilities. It had fun mechanics, ideas and platforming, and as well its shortcomings like the camera and uninspired boss battles, but I really had fun playing and have good memories from It, but it was really hard for kid me...
I disagree, there's lots of cool Batman games. They're hardly masterpieces of the medium but then again, hardly any licensed games are, even the good ones. There's also way worse Batman games than this one too.
Sucky licensed games as a concept is largely dying off. People are more likely to be cautious of licensed games than they used to be, and not every single movie is getting a video game adaptation anymore. Thank heavens.
@@birdsofdestiny6816 I'm a huge fan of Earthworm Jim 3d but it is very flawed game with its camera problems and the boss battles are very tedious and annoying. It is not a good game.
Daikatana N64 should not be compared to the PC one. The PC one can actually be fun and the N64 port shouldn't have existed especially since the Dreamcast was much more capable of running the PC release without any sacrifices.
- Long and boring collect-a-thon stages with a lot of one hit KOs that made you replay the whole level from zero without saving it, - N64 version had just one song the entire game, - all the 5 bosses are the same, - most of the stages hid the collectibles so well you had to backtrack the stage time after time - they waste some famous characters in the series making they appears just as motionless npcs (Psycrow, Monkey-for-a-head, Bob the Killer Goldfish) - awful camera (in N64 version only) because bad port.
It’s a guilty pleasure of mine as well. We used to rent Earthworm Jim 3D and Gex 64 (we already had Mario and Banjo), so I have a fondness for them. I honestly don’t think Earthworm Jim 3D is _that_ bad. When it came out, it was merely middle-of-the-road by many estimations.
12:47 "What's the worst N64 game you've played?" Vinny:"uh...probably still Superman 64" Boy golly he's not gonna like the game he's stuck with then. Made by the same people
I thought that maybe the Batman Beyond game was developed in a PAL region, but I checked out the dev, and it turns out they're Japanese (Kemco). My thoughts were that maybe the game played slower in a Pal region and wasn't tested significantly for worldwide release, but nope... It's actually that fast as it was intended.
That's not its actual speed, Project 64 doesn't emulate the CPU timing correctly which causes it to run faster than real hardware. Then Vinny "confirmed" that it was the real speed by looking up a youtube video of the game which was also running on Project 64 with incorrect timing, because he's a very smart boy.
“It’s a cute N64 platformer” Sorry wtf is so cute about a white guy with large arms and a black tuxedo getting beat up by ripped prisoners with Donkey Kong arms
"Cute" can also mean: obviously straining for effect, and clever or shrewd often in an underhanded manner. In other words, the game is trying too hard to be clever by copying elements from better games but failed miserably. You have just been furnished with the cutest of informations, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I still think hybrid heaven is up there with the worst n64 games. People just give it a pass because it wasn't quite as bad as some other RPGs on the system
I remember Vinny did a corruption video with that game. I also remember Vinny saying he never played the game but people in chat claimed it was a cult classic of sorts if I remember correctly.
It's called Hybrid Heaven, and it's not too bad of a game. It's essentially an RPG where you upgrade your limbs to pull off more powerful combos and fighting moves.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Sadly, not even. Think of it like Final Fantasy's ATB battles, except your weapons are your limbs, and as you use them or they get hit, they level up and unlock more moves for you; you can also move around in-battle. I would watch a battle video to get a better idea. If I recall though, you can have your limbs get damaged to the point where you can't kick or punch or use other moves, etc. The game also gets pretty difficult later on.
Awful N64 Games? Half the library of the N64 consisted of mediocre and awful games, mainly because of how small the small N64's library was and not too mention how hard it was develop for that platform.
Oh wow, the Voice actor for Earthworm Jim is the same as the cartoon? I wonder if this is the Cartoon: The game, and maybe that's why it's not so good?
In retrospect the N64 was pretty damn awful... other than maybe like 10 games the entire library was utter shit and every Multiplatform game was superior on PS1
There were way more than 10 good games on the system, and a very small number were better for n N64. Admittedly some were good for the time but don't hold up. Chameleon Twist and Mystical Ninja are two largely forgotten gems, Blast Corps finally the attention it deserves with Rare Replay, and why hasn't there been a port of Tetrisphere?
It's games like this that make me glad I was a Playstation kid. True, the Playstation had its own share of god awful games, but I feel like the N64 bared the brunt of shitty shovelware games for that generation.
Nope. You just weren't exposed to the veritable litany of trash that got released for the PS1. It was cheaper to develope for. Look up Dingo Pictures and their series of "games" that were actually badly made cartoons with a handful of trash minigames to meet the bare minimum needed for certification.
