I know Vin doesn't partake in the Annie-Mays, but him having no concept of Fist of the North Star threw me for a loop. Of course I'm always down for people discovering the magic of punching someone until they explode.
I remember asking Joel to HCF all of the Famicom Fist of the North Star games, then he threatened me with violencia (source: Hardcore Friday: Cursed Castilla at 1:53:29)
Hey, I worked for Synapse Software and wrote a game for them. I remember electrician. I didn't know there was a Japanese conversion. We mostly wrote Atari 800 and Commodore 64 games. We never even had a Nintendo in house.
Approximated translations of game titles are: 00:45 Explosive Soldier Lil' Patton 44:10 Instant Musician 54:35 Magnetic Kid Met-Mag 59:09 Masked Ninja Hanamaru 01:06:07 Lupin III: Heritage of Pandora (the main guy is Lupin the Third, the rest are not btw Vinny) 01:08:13 Labyrinth Temple Dababa 01:14:05 Michael's English Adventure 01:25:57 Puss in a Boots: 80-days Adventure Around the World 01:41:52 Konami Waiwai World 2: SOS from Parsley Castle 01:45:26 Brain (Intelligent?) Battleship Galg
We've come full circle from Joel being the big Fist of the North Star fan and playing the PS4 game to Vinny who has a small grasp on the series playing the first game on Famicom.
While I won't bother telling Vinny to watch Fist of the North Star, he did find that clip enjoyable and there are tons of moments like that throughout the series. It's stupid fun.
@@leebug3424 Nah, I don't have a parasocial relationship with Vin. I use him for personal entertainment and that's that. It's why I'm not going to send him an email telling him to watch anything.
Hokuto no Ken inspired JoJo, the game following is called Holy Diver which was sung by Dio. Which is the name of a villain in JoJo. It's all connected man!
@@thatitalianlameguy2235 Years ago, it was a Super Mario Bros. X stream IIRC. The level was kind of a memefest with a bunch of references and Dio appears at the end as the boss I think? It was the first time Vinny had ever seen anything Jojo related I'm pretty sure. Anyway, he called him "Goku" because he figured it was an anime character but he didn't know who exactly, and Joel was in chat, fuming at this.
Really enjoyed a few of them. Donald Land is pretty fun and short; Bokutte Upa appeared in Wai Wai World as well, but it was never a major character. Still, it's a very good Mario clone for when it came out; Holy Diver rocks, but it's really hard in the second part - pure memorization, pretty much.
53:54 His "sick notes and beats" end up summoning an eldritch being. As usual... I can`t believe the Sopranos were behind the Evergreen freighter that jammed the Suez Canal. All for Poke-a-man cards.
Oh boy were gonna get some Sopranos memes from Vin As another Italian American who's family also mostly is from East coast watching the Sopranos for the first time really reminded me of how my father and friends would act
I've been watching the fist of the northstar anime for the first time (after reading the manga) and even though the manga is way more gorey the anime has that old 80s charm that is just comfy to watch. And i do find it weirdly hilarious at times. Vinny, you need to at least watch some of the deaths scenes, the main character has some hilarious one liners before exploding or brutality assailing some idiot who thought they could beat Kenshiro.
Is the Holy Diver games based off the Holy Diver music video? Do you play as Ronnie James Dio!?! If that's true, that's the best game ever. Ronnie James Dio for Smash. Oh my god, just looked it up and it actually is based off the Dio album (unofficially). But it has Ozzy, Zakk Wylde, and Randy Rhoads in it. Best game.
I still hopes one day Konami and M2 could port the iMode remake of Wai Wai World for consoles / PC or G-Mode re-releases it through G-MODE Archives+. It replaces the two non-Konami universes with Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa and Penguin Adventure respectively, as well new FM and PCM music.
1:17:40 does anyone have the original clip of the cat roomba where it meows because every video I’ve seen either cuts out before the meow, or is a meme
1:20:23 Dude I had a 2010 magazine that had like 10 pages of a critic and all the stuff you need to know about the ZX Spectrum/Commodore64 of this game, remember reading it a lot of times because didn't had a phone during that time and I liked the game despite I have never played it The hell, Monty on the Run was about a mole who committed tax fraud not about a gremlin guy who can do screw attacks (it's funny because the character actually looks like a spanish lolcow called "Doomentio" lmao)
Responding to Vinny's comment on the disk system. i think the main reason we never got it (despite having a bottom slot that hints we could have) is because save batteries and larger pcbs were made for the nes. So it was redundant to release a disk format when there were already cartridges that can hold just as much. Its why legend of zelda and zelda II were in cartridge format as opposed to the disk format they were in when released on the famicom.
I played Galg back in the day but I never finished it, though I dunno if there even is an end. It's just another one of those endless(?) shmups, and the music is indeed an earsore.
I feel like Vinny's the kind of guy that would enjoy that live action Fist of the North Star film with Malcolm MacDowell in it more than he'd like the anime. I know _I_ did.
I am SUPER LATE to this video, but if anyone is curious, Ikinari Musician looks to be a complete 8-bit synthesizer (I hope there was a keyboard accessory that came with it!). The needle dials are each of the channels which you can obvious toggle on and off. You have four voices to pick from. I'm gonna guess the 2 might be more voices? The first switch above the keyboard is the attack of the voice, how quick it starts up. The second switch is the shape of the sound? I can only guess that's what it means with the sine wave icon. Third switch might be the decay/sustain, how long the note holds. Fourth is the release, how long it takes to fade out. The "1-2-3" is how many voices you can layer, so up to three voices at once. That's honestly pretty cool tech for the Famicom.
20:58 - I’ve heard Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators was a pretty okay game. But I think that was technically it’s own game until McDonald's came over and slapped their IP all over it to turn it into an advertisement.
Dose anyone know or have a link to where I can find the video at 1:17:45 "cat dance" I've searched everywhere on RU-vid for it and I can't find it no matter what I do.
