This brought a tear to my eye. The drama of moving every zig available, for great justice, while C.A.T.S. is laughing at you from your holo-screen, is something that can never be explained; only felt through the heart.
So here I was in 2022 playing Zero Wing on my Genesis and I said why not look it up on RU-vid. Why did it take me 13 years to discover this masterpiece?
In 2101 AD, war had begun. What the hell was that? It appears that somebody has placed an explosive device on our ship. We're getting a signal on the main screen. What?! Routing power to the main screen. You?! You seem busy, gentlemen. With the help of the Galactic Federation, CATS has successfully been able to capture all of your bases. Your ship will soon meet its doom as well. No! It can't be! I thank you for you cooperation. Cherish these remaining moments in your lives. Ha ha ha ha! Captain! What are we going to do? I order you to launch every ZIG unit! Leaving the mission to them is all we can do now. Our hopes for the future... We're counting on you, ZIG!
Very beautiful remake! I love the wooden, emotionless delivery which actually true to the source material (just watch the punctuation in the original). Congratulations!
Yeah, Toaplan made some nice games I've played in the past, like "Slap Fight", "Twin Cobra", "Hellfire" and "Truxton". While it's nice to know their programmers made later works after the company ended, it's a pity they aren't working together as a team anymore.
I liked the logo animation. It was awesome. Which I can't say about intonations of phrases starting from "TAKE OFF EVERY ’ZIG’". But that's understandable if you didn't watch enough tokusatsu or anime. Simply because i's Japanese-only style in which those messages were written.
My goodness this is an outstanding live action version of the horribly written grammar of the original Zero Wing. I love it! Every line was dramatic and well done to the original game. I love the effects, the 2d and 3d were amazing! I wonder how you did so well with those. Another one of my favorite "poor grammar acted out with amazing effects and acting" type of videos. Excellent work!
Ok, I JUST found this video while I had the theme stuck in my head, and was searching RU-vid for the original newgrounds All your Base song. This is extraordinarily well done, and despite following those bad translations, it certainly would be a B film I would enjoy seeing.
If it was a game for Classic PlayStation or a Laserdisc Arcade game, I'd play it. :) Zero Wing with Real Life cutscenes might be even more awesomer than MD in my opinion.
