RETRO REHAB | EP. 3 - Games & Franchises That Need Revivals

[00:00:03] I can't fucking breathe dude. This is what it's all about dude. Alright, let's... Okay. Fuck off, I have to host this one! Fuck off! Okay, okay, okay. Oh shit. Enough! Hey, I'm Jerry. Hey, I'm Aaron. And this is Retro Rehab.

[00:00:48] Welcome back to Retro Rehab, the greatest collaboration of all time. Today, we're gonna talk about throwing some Phoenix Downs on some franchises that are either dead and gone, or just they need a revival. You know? Like Pitbull. Like Pitbull. Is he dead? Hey, can we get a quick check? Is Pitbull still alive? Uh... Pitbull... I typed it really stupidly.

[00:01:17] I typed Pitbull, is he alive? Pitbull, is he alive? So his full name is Armando Christian Perez. Yeah, he's still alive dude. He's five foot nine. What a fucking shorty dude. That's two for two if you're counting. Last week was Ludacris. We checked to make sure Ludacris was still alive. Our boy Ludacris is still alive. And we got Mr. Worldwide. Mr. We're... So we're doing pretty... We're doing pretty good. We're doing pretty good.

[00:01:47] But, before we get into throwing some Phoenix Downs at some franchises and talking about games that we feel like should get revivals, let's talk about what's going on in the world of retro for a quick second. Because there's a couple things. A couple things. A couple little tidbits of news in the world of retro. If you are up to date on the company Analog, they announced that they were doing a restock on their Analog pockets. And they're gone.

[00:02:16] They're gone. It lasted, I think, a day and a half. And they're... Goodbye. I was lucky enough to get myself an Analog pocket. I am very excited to get it. But there's some stuff about Analog that... I don't know. I don't... Look, the hardware itself is fantastic.

[00:02:47] They did release their own cores. Because, like, you don't have to have the physical hardware. You don't gotta. It's like... It's kind of like the Mister. Like, it has its own cores and stuff. And I think it supports up to... And, Aaron, you'll be happy to know this. It supports up to TurboGrafx CD. The Analog pocket? Mm-hmm. Yep. That's fucking sweet, dude. It sure does.

[00:03:19] They've made cores and never updated them. Like, for two years. They still haven't been updated, as far as I know. What the fuck? So, the community took to it and they were like, fuck it. We're gonna make our own cores. And I think it was only a couple of months ago that they actually released... ...like, scanline filters and different, like, filters and stuff. Because the filters wouldn't work with the analog cores. And there's still some things, like, some kinks getting worked out... ...with some of these, like, the community cores.

[00:03:48] Because, essentially, some of them don't support save states. And if you don't know... Oh. The way the analog... Well, I'm okay with not having save states so much. ...but the analog pocket uses save states so it can sleep. Oh, shit. Like, when you put it to sleep, that's what it does. It does a... Because, like, obviously, like, if you turn off a Game Boy, it turns off.

[00:04:17] Like, there's no sleep on a Game Boy, right? Yeah. So, it uses save states to allow the sleep bone. So, I guess, the Game Boy Color or the Game Boy... Yeah, the Game Boy Color one. Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Uh, the developer said that he's working on the save states. So, it should be soon. But, it's crazy to think that, like, a year ago... ...people that had these pockets just had to deal with it. Like, nope. Too bad.

[00:04:45] Just use the shitty analog cores. But, now there's better ones out there. But, I'm really excited. It should be... At the time of this recording, oddly enough... I ordered my dock the day after I ordered the pocket. Because, I got, like, FOMO. Like, a motherfucker. I was like... Because, the other thing is, I looked up, like... What's an alternative to the analog dock? And, I quickly found... All the responses were, nope.

[00:05:14] Because, they have, like, their own proprietary thing. Like, you can't just, like, use a USB to HDMI on the analog pocket. It does not work. It has to be that dock. So, it's... Look, it's a fantastic piece of hardware. But, the company itself is just... I don't know. It's like the Apple of retro stuff. And, that's coming from somebody who... Yeah. I do like myself some Apple stuff. But, like... I don't know.

[00:05:44] All the proprietary shit. It just... I don't know. There's no way at all to, like... To put custom firmware on an analog pocket. Like, ArcOS or anything like that. It just... It has to be what's... Like, what they put in it. As far as I know, yeah. It's just... Like, it's not so much the OS. Like, the OS is fine. It's just the cores themselves are the things that... Are the more desired thing. That's crazy. Yeah.

[00:06:14] I really wish I would have bought one of these. When the transparent ones were... Oh. Were on sale. Yeah. Or the dark one. Oh, man. I remember sharing that on Facebook. They even went as far as to replicate the same, like... Dye as the colored Game Boy colors. Like, all those colors that they did for a limited time. For the pockets. Like, they were color matched to the old school Game Boys.

[00:06:43] Like, it was crazy. It's crazy what they did. Really fucking cool. Again, fantastic product. Like, the hardware itself is just amazing. God, that... It's not a replacement for the mister, but like... If you were to say, like, I don't really want to do a mister yet or something. And you were more of like a handheld person. I would say, like, 100%. Like, this is the way to go. Because, again, this is FPGA. As I mentioned before, FPGA is not emulating games.

[00:07:12] It's emulating consoles. Yeah. It's accuracy at its highest. Like, it's still... I guess... It is a form of emulation, I guess. But, like, not really at the same time. At a higher level. Because, like, instead of... I don't know how the fuck to explain it. Yeah. Well, actually, technically speaking, it's low level. High level emulation is like... I think. I hope I'm not fucking that up.

[00:07:40] I think high level emulation is, like, less accurate. But low level is, like, much, much more accurate. So, that's why, like... That makes sense. I know that the N64 core on RetroArch has some options to do, like... To use different plugins. And one of those plugins is the Parallel. And Parallel uses low level. Because it's LLE. So... That's a thing.

[00:08:10] That's a thing. Low level emulation. That's a thing, dude. But, yeah. If the analog pockets go back up. And there's another resupply. I highly encourage Aaron. Aaron, especially you. To get one. I want that fucking transparent. I want the green one. But I want to be less of a basic bitch. They were a limited time only. And I don't know if they're doing those again. You can find them on Marketplace, though.

[00:08:41] There's, like, even up here. In my city. Like, I've seen them. But you're gonna pay. You're gonna pay. I'm gonna look it up, dude. Oh, this is gonna hurt. You're gonna be upset. Oh, this is gonna hurt, bro. You're gonna be upset. I'm gonna guess... $4.50, right? Actually, no. $3.50. But that's $3.50 US. Oh, yeah.

[00:09:08] To me, that's, like... That's expensive. I paid... Oh, no. I think it was... I think the pockets are only $2.21 US. Or $2.29 or something. Well, I'm pissed. Yeah. I mean, you can. You can get one. There's worse things you could spend your money on. Like a Pitbull CD. Yeah. Dollar, baby. Dollar, Pepsi.

[00:09:39] Speaking of emulation, did you see that Apple opened its floodgates? Did you see this? I saw it. Like, the first one they allowed was some NES emulator, which is... I was... When I see the article, I was like, get the fuck out of here. Are you serious? Apple is allowing emulators on the App Store now. After all these years. Why are they suddenly doing it now? Just because of the demand? Maybe somebody at Apple was like, you don't fuck with Yuzu.

[00:10:09] You don't fuck with Yuzu. We're putting them all up. You don't fuck with Yuzu. Or IP Yuzu. And Citra. Goddamn, dude. But yeah, it's... It's crazy. I can't wait to see what... The biggest thing would be to see RetroArc get added to the App Store.

[00:10:39] That would be some shit. Yeah. Because as far as emulation goes, RetroArc is like the thing, I feel. Like, there's emulators that are more accurate and other things outside of RetroArc, but even a lot of those have been implemented as cores into RetroArc at this point. And yeah, if RetroArc gets added to the App Store, like, that's a game changer. Give me one of those backbones, a bottle of Lube,

[00:11:07] and 15 minutes with RetroArc, and we're fucking off, dude. Oh, fuck. Yeah, dude. Oh, fuck, bud. I, um... Yeah. Oh, God. I can't top that, but yeah, they really... I'm really surprised it took Apple this long to allow that shit on there because, like, what's the worst that could fucking happen? I mean, I don't know. I don't know anything about Apple, man, but that's good.

[00:11:37] That's cool. Yep. Um, yeah. And then finally, to top up the news, uh, I usually go digging through to see what, uh, new translations and stuff we have in the Retro community, whether it's through ROMHacking.net. CD Romance is great because they, they upload, like, the, um, the game that's already, like, pre-patched and stuff. Um, there was one that caught my eye that's been recently translated. It's a PS1 RPG

[00:12:06] called Linda Cubed Again. And it's a, it's a port of Linda Cubed for, I think, the PC engine, which was, uh, technically the TurboGrafx. Um, it was ported to PS1. It was then also ported to Sega Saturn, but the only English version that we have, as far as I know, is the PS1 translation that just came out. And it's, like, I don't know if you're looking

[00:12:36] at these screenshots I added to the notes here. They look, like, fucking cool. It's like, um... It is interesting. So, what people are, like, when I was digging into it to try to find out, like, because, here's the weird thing. When it comes to, like, finding little gems like this, I don't want to see any videos of it for some reason. I'd rather just see a screenshot. Kind of like, I guess it's kind of like hearkening back to, like, the good old days of seeing, like, something in a magazine and be like, oh, I can't wait to try this out. So, like,

[00:13:04] I'd rather not look at videos of stuff. I'd rather experience the game, like, just by a few screenshots, like, because the screenshots that I grabbed and threw into this, I was instantly like, what the hell is this game? And people said that it's pretty much Phantasy Star meets Shin Megami Tensei. That's fucking tight. Yeah, it takes place in Neo-Kenya. What the fuck?

[00:13:35] Yes. And there's, like, three scenarios and, like, each one is, like, a different timeline. So, like, scenario A, B, C. But by the time you get to C, apparently, like, they're making fun of scenario A and B and being like, that wasn't shit. That wasn't nothing. You wait till you see all this stuff. And, like, they're making, like, inside jokes about, like, what happened in this game and stuff. And, like, yeah, it's just supposed to be, like, batshit crazy. And I feel like you and I, for people that

[00:14:04] really like weird games, like, Earthbound, I feel like, I feel like we should both try this thing out. this looks really, really fucking rad. Yeah, there's that one, there's that one screenshot where it looks like a man that resembles Hitler. He's like, he's got Mecca Hitler. Yeah, Mecca Hitler. He's like, it reminds me of something from, like, the movie Akira. Sorry, Akira. They put the Japanese twang on it. Actually, it's something you'd see in that, but,

[00:14:34] like, like, Hitler, if he was, if he was Akira, I guess. And there's a whale. There's a big fucking whale island they're fighting. What the shit? Dude, yeah, it looks crazy. And like, this is the thing about Retro, and this is like, like, all jokes aside, this is why I feel like we needed to do this podcast because I cannot believe after all these years, there's still shit. Sorry, keep going, keep going. What did you see? Oh,

[00:15:04] man, hang on, hang on. I can see the reflection in your glasses, kind of. Hold on, bro. I'll send it in the chat. No, you know what? We'll take this link, too. Where's the chat? There's a bunch of screenshots on that bastard. nice. But yeah, what I was going to say was that even after, like, all these years of, like, playing retro shit

[00:15:34] and playing ROMs and emulators, I cannot believe that there's just, like, it feels like something every month that I'm like, I've never heard of this, never seen it before. Where's this bed? And, like, stuff just pops up. Like, it's fucking wild. Like, I can't believe it sometimes. But yeah, Linda cubed again. Go check it out. New translation out. And with that, I have... Oh, this looks really, really cool.

[00:16:03] Yep, do it. I'm gonna. So, topic of the day. Game franchises that need revivals. Aaron, why don't you kick us off with the first thing that you feel like you need to resurrect? First, I'm gonna download this game. If I can find a goddamn link for it. The first, the first series I had down to bring back from the dead. Custom Robo.

[00:16:34] Cause motherfucker, there were four games in total. The America only saw two because Nintendo hates us. But, so, the series is, the name kind of describes it all. It's people fighting with robots that you can customize with like just a million different fucking parts. Like there's legs that affect your speed and like how, uh, how you dodge and shit like that. How many jumps you get.

[00:17:03] There's different guns that affect like your fire pattern. They can get like a three-way spread. You can get a dragon one that shoots little like dragon flame balls out. You can shoot like a sword that flies into the air, stays there for a little bit and then just shoots down an enemy. Um, there's all sorts of different guns. There's bombs. There's what's called a pod where it shoots out like a little, um, like a deployable, um, explosive thing, I guess. Um, there's just all sorts of different parts. And,

[00:17:33] I think the last one we got was, oh, I think it was custom robo arena on DS because there was, there was two for that. There was more than one. Yeah, there was four. There was, um, Oh shit. I didn't know that. Two on N64 that only came out in Japan, but the first game does have a complete fan translation. The second one, I don't think, I think it's like partially done. Uh, the one on the GameCube is the one that I played the most and it's got a bitchin' soundtrack. Um, and then yeah, the one on the DS is still

[00:18:02] pretty good, but the soundtrack isn't nearly as bitchin'. Not quite as bitchin'. Maybe like, like three tenths bitchin'. But, uh, yeah, so I guess like, yeah, like what, what, what do you think would, um, like what do you, what do you visualize like a custom, like a modern custom robo, like revive looking like? You know, I'm glad you asked that, Jerry. I could see it, uh, you mean, I want to see, I want to see like, just bunches of different game modes,

[00:18:32] like 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, maybe even like 12, 12 person free for all, I don't know, whatever kind of royales and shit. Yeah, basically, because the, the gameplay is, like when you're playing as the robos anyway, it's, you're in this little arena, um, and there's little walls and shit that you can go behind for cover, uh, and it's kind of like at a, like an isometric overhead view almost, most, but you could do, you could do a lot with that, really, like, yeah,

[00:19:01] put like multiple levels into an arena, make like big, awesome arenas, they could, uh, add even more ways to customize your robos, I don't know, Nintendo could add Mii's into it, I guess, if they really fucking wanted to. Yeah, they could. I don't, I don't know why it'd be awesome for today's online multiplayer fucking world, but Nintendo is just like. I still need to throw that on, uh, a buddy of mine, I think, threw it on after you talking about it on, I think it was

[00:19:31] episode one, yeah, it was episode one of this, it was our random recommended game at the end, yeah, Mention Custom Robo and he threw it on, he was like, man, it seems pretty cool, um, so yeah, I definitely want to, I want to check that out at some point, so, yeah, I can kind of get a better because all that sounds really cool, like I feel like that's the thing, right, like when you, when you think about revivals, like it's, I feel like it's always one part fan service, but it's also like another part like how can

[00:20:00] we make money, like will this make us money, and part of the reason why I wanted to do this, this episode is because had this been a year ago and we did this episode, I would have been screaming for Secret of Mana, like man, bring Secret of Mana back, like, what the hell's going on with this franchise, like you just keep remaking these games, like, and then Trials of Mana sold really well for their expectations, and then finally we get Visions of Mana, which by the way looks fucking dope,

[00:20:30] I don't know if you've been keeping up, it's pretty fucking good, so yeah, like that was kind of the crux of, I've been screaming about some of these franchises, one of the franchises that I've been screaming about that I don't think we'll ever get, if we do, I'll be shocked, but it is a, it is a crying shame that we have not had a proper Goemon game since 2000 and motherfucking five,

[00:21:00] holy shit, 2005? it was a DS game, sorry, I mean, technically the last Goemon game was 2009, and it was a fucking Pachinko, goddammit dude, fucking Konami, let that say, I was just gonna say, take one fucking guess, who owns the rights to Goemon, the only company that could take any of their

[00:21:29] wildly popular franchises and be like, nah, we're just gonna do Pachinko. They probably make way more money off of Pachinko than they do any fucking Goemon game, I mean, that's the sad reality, but yeah, I don't really know what the sales are like for Goemon, but, I don't know, like, reintroducing Goemon to the mainstream, like, it would be amazing either way, I think, because,

[00:21:58] like, even in the last, like, 10 years, there's been a massive resurgence of 2D platformers like Metroidvanias, and even, like, the HD retro stuff has been coming back, like, I feel like Shovel Knight started really pushing the envelope forward for, like, hey, let's get, like, these really highly polished indie games that look like, like, NES, SNES games, like, let's get, let's get these back into the mainstream, because it doesn't,

[00:22:28] it doesn't have to have, like, these AAA graphics to, to make a big difference, I mean, it probably goes back further than that, even to, like, the Xbox live arcade stuff, like, I remember Castle Crashers being, like, one of the best games ever, I couldn't believe it, and it was, like, it looked like a Flash game. Or, like, Fez, Fez was, like, an SNES game, pretty much. Yeah, so, yeah, I feel like bringing Goemon back now,

[00:22:59] like, we did get, like, this, well, I mean, we didn't get it, but Japan got it, it was announced in one of their directs, and people started picking up on it, and they were like, hey, did anybody catch the Japanese direct? They showed this, and it was, it's, it's literally a spiritual successor to Goemon. Like, it looks like Mystical Ninja 64, but, like, newer, and it's not, it's not Goemon, but it may as well be. He has a fucking, pretty sure he has a chain pipe and shit, or maybe he has, like, these two, like, sticks. He's got a fucking blunt.

[00:23:30] But, yeah, it was, it's basically, like, a spiritual successor to Goemon. I'd be curious to know what the, what that game did in numbers in Japan, because I feel like, maybe, Goemon does, no, it for sure does way better, because we didn't get, like, I don't know, like, two-thirds of the games that were ever released for Goemon over here. But, yeah, I, I would like to see, like, a 2D game, but even, like,

[00:24:00] a 3D action adventure game, like, Mystical Ninja 64, but with, like, modern mechanics, and, like, a large, but not too big, like, fully explorable world in Edo. Because, like, yeah, like, the game is, the game is, it's always based in Japan, but it's, like, like, Edo Japan. And, it would be cool to see, like, what a fully, like, open, like,

[00:24:29] again, not, like, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom massive, but, like, just, like, an open world-ish type of Goemon would be fantastic. Like, I, I think it would be so good now. Enough about Goemon. What do you, uh, what else you got? I took a, I took a little peeksy at, uh, at some of your entries. Uh, I know that you were saying that you were having a hard time figuring out, like, your last one, um, which makes total sense.

[00:25:00] Um, but, tell, tell the, tell, tell us and the listeners what you got wrote down here for your second pick. Well, Jerry and listeners, I'm, Breath of Fire needs a fucking comeback because, holy shit, Capcom ran, ran that bitch into the ground after the, after the fifth game. uh, well, cause, cause there was, uh, the first two for SDS, three and four were on the PS1. Um,

[00:25:29] five was on the PS2 and that was very different. It was, five was more of like a roguelike. Um, and there was this weird, like, uh, dragon infection counter thing to where, like, if you didn't get out of the dungeon quick enough, you'd fucking die. Was that Dragon Quarter? Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Um, and then six, there was, six was a mobile game and then there was, like, a bunch after that that were just a bunch of fucking stinky fucking mobile games.

[00:26:00] Um, but yeah, I, they could totally bring it back from the dead. Just retcon, maybe except for six because that was actually like a numbered entry in the series. Uh, they could retcon the rest of their little mobile snafus, make Breath of Fire 7 and do it like, uh, like Visions of Mana, make it just fucking elegant and extravagant. Everything's just colorful and gorgeous and like, yeah, it definitely, that, that game franchise definitely lends itself to, to exactly what you're

[00:26:30] talking about because like, even going back now and looking at the pixel art on the Super Nintendo ones and on the PS, like the PS1 games, that has to be some of the craziest pixel art I've ever seen. Like, it's crazy. It's wild. even for like Breath of Fire 4 because it's, it's got that like almost hand-drawn kind of style to it. but yeah, with, they put it on modern consoles, dude, you don't have to worry about any like, you don't have to worry about the constraints

[00:26:59] of like the SNES, the PS1, you can make it fully fucking 3D if you wanted. Uh, you can have, oh, imagine the HD 2D thing. Yeah. Like what they've done with like Octopath and stuff. Like, imagine that game and that style. It'd be fucking sweet. Oh, dude, it would be so good. They could have just super fucking insane dragon transformations. Uh, they could make the, uh, the character sprites, whether it's in battle or whatever, even more detailed because like Breath of Fire

[00:27:27] has always had really cool like anthropomorphic, uh, animal tribes with like different members joining you. Like fuck, Breath of Fire 2 had like a sentient plant man joining your party. There was like a horse man joining your party in like the first game. So, I know, I know what the first game, a lot of people, like one of the biggest complaints was that, uh, the random encounters were like obscene, like just insane on like the, the maps and stuff.

[00:27:57] But there's actually, uh, a ROM hack that's like a quality of life hack that reduces the amount of insanely generated, um, yep, random encounters and stuff and like some other, other things that they, they tweaked. so if, if you are gonna go back and try a Breath of Fire, like maybe seek out these, uh, these ROM hacks because, man, it's always,

[00:28:26] it's been one of those RP, it's like this and Legend of Dragoon are ones that I've like always been like, ah, one of these days, man, I'm gonna, I'm gonna play through these. It's just one of those days. It's, it's just one of those days. It's just one of those days. Yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah. And the, um, I think one and two were also remade for the,

[00:28:56] the Game Boy Advance and I think those also had those like small fixes applied to them but of course the music, yeah, the music isn't as good though which, which sucks. And the, the graphic the graphics are like, since it was on the GBA the graphics kind of like they did with, uh, Harmony of Dissonance on GBA they made the graphics like really bright so it stood out on like the dark screen when you were playing the GBA in the dark. Um,

[00:29:26] so the graphics kind of look washed out a little bit but, uh, yeah, they, they have the random encounter fix so they're, they're kind of worth playing but I mean, yeah, yeah, get that, the ROM hack. That's, yeah, yeah. Get the ROM hack. Hack that ROM, baby. Hack them ROMs. Um, you know, a lot of my retro game playing started with ROMs. Like, going back to Vim's Lair, man. That's,

[00:29:56] that was my stomping grounds back in the day. Good old Vim's Lair. Good old Vim. Shout out to Vim. Um, so, one of the games that I discovered on, on Vim's Lair, ages ago that I, I didn't know existed. I never ever seen it at my Blockbuster or nothing when I was a kid. I didn't have any prior knowledge to it is Demon's Crest. Have you ever played Demon's Crest? I've played a little bit. I, uh, you, you got, yeah, that's your weekend. That's,

[00:30:26] that is your weekend rehab, dude. Do it. Cause it is like, it's not that long. It's basically a Mega Man Metroidvania. That's cool as fuck. and it's got like, some Dark Souls ass looking, like, crazy art style. Fuck yeah. Yeah, like, it's, it's weird that it's a, it is a spinoff of, uh, Ghouls and Ghosts. Like the, the little red, uh, Gargoyle guy that like

[00:30:56] tries to kill you. That's him. That's who you play as. But then like, as you, as you progress through the game, every time like, you finish a level and be a boss, you get like some sort of power up. And like, you, you can transform into like different demons and stuff. Like, dude, it's, it's wild. That's fucking sweet. That sounds really fucking sweet, dude. Oh man, it's, it's, it's fantastic. Like, I highly encourage you to, to play this game on the weekend and let me know what you think.

[00:31:25] Like, I bet you any money, you'll throw it on and you'll just beat it. Like, you'll just play it through because it's so good. And like, there's like a world map in mode seven that you fly around on and like, you can go to shops and stuff and like get upgrades. Like, it's, it's fantastic. So like, I, I feel like, um, I would like to see this come back. Keep that 2D aesthetic because I mean, there's so many Metroidvanias. I mean,

[00:31:55] Jesus Christ, go on the Steam store and look up Metroidvanias. They come out once, like there's a dozen fucking a month coming out of Metroidvanias. And I feel like, probably, and like, they're not all good. I, I'm a sucker for a Metroidvania, but like, they ain't shit most of the time. Um, I feel like Cap, and like, this is a Capcom game. Like, come on. I feel like they could, they could really do some really cool things

[00:32:25] with Demon's Crest. Um, cause I mean, if, like, Lord knows, we're never gonna get another Mega Man for fuck's sakes. So, at least give us Demon's Crest, which is kind of like demonic Mega Man. It's a pretty tall order. Here's a, here's kind of one for ya. So, on the Game Boy, they have a game kind of predating Demon's Crest a little bit, Gargoyle's Quest. Yeah. It's, it's like,

[00:32:55] uh, it's got turn-based battles, which is cool. Wait, it does? Yeah. I didn't know that. I knew that there was Gargoyle's, but oh man, maybe I should play this game. Uh, make sure I'm, I'm doing that right though. Yep. You are doing it right. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It, yeah. It's platforming, Metroidvania kind of, yeah. Turn-based battles. It's pretty sick. Throw on the, the Game Boy color, uh, color filter shit to it

[00:33:25] and then, bada big, bada boom. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna try that shit out with my analog pocket. Oh, there you go. Do you have a physical copy of that bad boy? Uh, yep. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I saved your ass right there. Nintendo was, they had, they had the battery ramp. They were like, they were like, oh, wait, oh, he said physical copy. He backed off fucking immediately.

[00:33:55] Yep. You backed the fuck off, Nintendo. And I'm taking my ROMs. If, if Nintendo shows up on my house and they're like, we're here, we're here to get your, take your fucking ROM, they're getting a fucking Falcon Punch! Mr. Mr. Robert Nintendo himself comes up to you in the middle of a dark alley. He's like, hand over them ROMs, bitch. Mr. Nintendo.

[00:34:25] There's only two misters in my life. There's the, the Mr. FPGA and then there's the Mr. Mr. 305. I just want to tell you, I mean, maybe we'll try a Pepsi. Tell me to it all a Pepsi. Two dollar Pepsi. Dabba dee dabba day. Oh man. That's the greatest shit ever. Hey, speaking of worldwide, where the fuck is Power Stone 3, man? Yeah. Give us Power Stone 3, you cowards. Fuck. I don't understand. Like,

[00:34:54] Capcom was so gung ho about this fucking series when the Dreamcast was out because I mean, what was it? It was, it was, it was arcade and Dreamcast. Yeah. Yeah. Like arcade, but like home console, only ever Dreamcast, never ported, nothing. Yeah. It's just, it lived and died on Dreamcast. Well, actually there's a, there's a Power Stone collection on PSP, but like, that's it. That is, there is. Yeah. Both games are on PSP.

[00:35:23] What a weird thing to do. I know. Why wouldn't you fucking bring it to like PS2 or GameCube? Hadley. Yeah. Like something. Like, you know what's fun? It's crazy too. Cause I only recently, finally, like, I mean, I, I, I had heard of Power Stone for years and years and years and how good it is. Like whenever people would talk about like, Oh, I got a Dreamcast. What games should I try to get? People were like, get Power Stone games, like wanted to get them.

[00:35:53] They're the best. And like, you know, we get hung up sometimes about trying to find like hidden gems, like on consoles, especially like retro consoles and stuff. But I feel like sometimes it's easy to overlook the shit. That's just absolute bangers that are well known on these consoles that just, you may have never played. And I just always skipped it and overlooked it. Cause I was like, yeah, yeah, like that's the one that everybody knows. I want to find some hidden gems though.

[00:36:21] But when I finally did play Power Stone two, it was like, I couldn't believe how good that game was. I could not believe it. It's so go ahead. Tell me, tell me why this needs a revival though. Like tell, tell me what you, what you visualize. Well, shit, man. Now that smash bros is basically like, like it's, it's in the ground now. Like it's done.

[00:36:50] Smash bros is basically no more. Now that that's done. Power Stone two or Power Stone three would be like the perfect fucking party game to be the perfect like game to even playing online. Man, Power Stone three on modern consoles. They could do way more with it than they did with Power Stone one and two. Like they can have way more extravagant levels, like way more players on the screen, even, even more fucking chaotic than it already was. because in a game where you're,

[00:37:17] you're on top of a fucking airplane that's like plummeting into the fucking ocean that there's like rocket launchers and fucking katanas and fucking like robot missile launching cars that you can jump into and shoot your buddies with. It's wild. It's wild. It's, they can make it even more insane. There's so much they could fucking do with it now, but they just refuse to touch it for whatever. And throw some crossover characters in there.

[00:37:46] Throw some Street Fighter in there. Yeah. Doesn't, doesn't who is that? That's a Capcom game, right? Yeah. It's Capcom. It's all Capcom. Like Jesus Christ, dude, give us, give us some crossover shit with that. I mean, it was, it was really fun to see the crossover stuff in a Canon spike. If you're not familiar with Canon spike, that's, um, it's like a top down arcadey, uh, shoot them up ish, I guess. Like, shoot them up.

[00:38:14] And as soon as I found out that Mega Man was a secret character, like if you just like hit left all the way over on the screen and go off screen to the character selection, you pick Mega Man, that he's the only one I picked ever. Like it was Cammy first and then it was only ever Mega Man. And they've also got Arthur from, uh, ghouls and ghosts. Yes. Ghosts and goblins. Yeah. Yeah. Like, that's what I mean, right? Like, I think you're right.

[00:38:41] I think like Capcom could easily have their own, like, I mean, for Christ's sake, dude, Nickelodeon had their own fucking space. MASH game for fuck's sakes. I know, man. Nickelodeon. Capcom's got some really fucking recognizable characters under their belt, dude. Yeah. Mega Man. Fucking anybody from Street Fighter. Yeah. Resident Evil. Ace Attorney. Anything that this, anything that's been in Marvel versus Capcom.

[00:39:10] Just slap it in there. Slap it in Power Stone. Throw a fucking, throw a Raptor in there. Throw a Rathalos. Yeah. Or a Rathalos. I said, fucking. They have, uh, the Rathian and the Rathalos. There's a bunch. Fuck. They have a Devil May Cry also, dude. Throw some Devil May Cry motherfuckers in there. They've got a bunch they could do. I know. Dude, imagine a Power Stone level in like a Devil May Cry level or like a Monster Hunter level.

[00:39:40] Or, or if they really want to take advantage of like all that hardware, you start off in one level from one game and then it like explodes or some shit happens. I don't know. And then you're in a Mega Man level and then it's in Mega Man level. And then it's just like, you're in like a Monster Hunter level. It's like Sigma in the background and shit like attacking you. Yeah, dude. You have the big, big bad guys from different Capcom games in the background. Like, um, Sigma from fucking Mega Man X.

[00:40:09] He's in the background. He Gantos from Resident Evil 4 just in the background fucking shit up chasing you. You've got, uh, Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. He's just like, like guilty, guilty, guilty. I don't know, dude. Yeah, but you're just getting smacked with guilty. Like you're just getting fucking sued. Mr. Robot. Yeah, they can do so much with that goddamn shit. I don't, it's still like fucking hotcakes. man,

[00:40:39] easy money. I know. Yeah. As soon as I seen that on your list, I was like, fuck man. Yeah. And of all the things on this, on this list, I feel like that's the one that I could actually see getting a resurgence. If they, you know what Capcom, um, real quick, just to just want to talk to you one-on-one for a second. Um, you can contact Aaron and I very easily. We're on all your socials and stuff. Just contact us, man. Like, well, yeah, we'll help. We'll help.

[00:41:08] Like we know how to make you money. Okay. Like we'll make you more money than what's that ace attorney guy's name? What's, what was his objections? Miles Edgeworth. The mile. We'll make you more money than miles. Edgeworth. I'll tell you that. Yeah. We'll represent you in court. It could be so fucking easy. Oh my God. I don't know why. What's the fucking Capcom, Capcom, cop squad. Let me, let me talk to you one-on-one also.

[00:41:37] I know you just got to talk to you now too. What the fuck is the problem? What the fuck is your problem? I know. Like, you know what? I would just throw power stone three, just make it the third one. You don't need to, you don't need to like re-imagine anything. Just give us what power stone two was. Throw a three on the end and then put all of your fucking franchises in the game. And I promise you Capcom, Capcom. Listen to me.

[00:42:07] Are you listening? Capcom. Capcom. Honey, baby, sweetie. Honey, sweetie, baby. Listen to me. Oh, baby. Love you. Money. Holy shit. You'll just, you'll print money. You'll print it. I promise. But don't print money because that's illegal. That's like, and they can, it's like download ROMs. Yeah. You would, you wouldn't download a goose Alfredo. You wouldn't download a half drank can of Pepsi, $2 Pepsi.

[00:42:37] If they wanted to, if they wanted to make, Hey Capcom, if, if you want to make even more fucking money off of Powerstone three, you could put in DLC with new guest characters from different fucking Capcom properties. Yeah, there you go. Exactly. It writes itself, dude. I don't even have to like, I didn't think about that. Could you imagine, could you imagine just at home one day scrolling through Twitter and all of a sudden it's like

[00:43:04] Capcom just announced that you can now play as Luke's forearms? Like, like Luke from what? Do you know Luke from Street Fighter six? Well, they're talking about like either Luke Skywalker or like Luke from Professor Layton. I was really confused. That motherfucker's forearms could each be a playable character. They're massive. It's, it's wild shit. I like how you were,

[00:43:33] I like how you thought I was talking about like an actual character. No, I'm talking about his forearms. His forearms. Justice forearms. His forearms. Not Goro. All four of his arms. The, the, the four of his arms. Um, oh my God. Here's, here's all of the cool shit. All the cool, cool shit they can have in Powerstone three. Fucking Okami. Ace Attorney. Yeah. Bionic Commando. Breath of fucking Fire. Cyberbots.

[00:44:03] Darkstalkers, Demons Crest. Demons Crest. Yeah. Dead Rising. Devil May Cry. Dino Crisis. That's what I said. Put a raptor in there. Fucking Final Fight, dude. Lost Planet. Yeah. Mega Man. Monster Runner. Capcom. Listen to me. Okay. Capcom. Capcom. Listen to me. Do you understand how much money people would throw at you if you had a raptor from Dino Crisis and a Rathalos fighting each other in the background of like fucking Raccoon City?

[00:44:32] Do you understand that the internet would collapse in and of itself? Like it would be the most insane shit. And then like in Powerstone, when you collect, I think it's like five of those like superpower gems. Sometimes you do your like ultra move with the raptor. If you collect all five, it's just like a swarm of raptors or he transforms into like a giant raptor and just fucking eats you and then game over. Or you know what?

[00:45:01] But if we're going to try to be current, you could throw in that. What's that? What's that new game? That live service that they have out? Oh, Prime. Primal. Primal. Primal. Yeah. Just have it rain raptors from Exo Primal. Yeah. Dude. Oh my fucking God. The Daisy of dinos. Yeah. But yeah. Capcom. Seriously. Like smart man. Yep. Yep. Woman. Child. Whatever you are.

[00:45:30] Whatever thing I envision you being. Gelatinous cube. I don't give a shit. Get a hold of my secretary. Yep. Do it. What you got, Jerry? All right. I got one more for you. Okay. So this is one that I've known about for years. I've played it off and on. It's only been recently that my buddy brought it to my attention and was like, dude, you

[00:45:59] have to try playing some F-Zero GX. It's insane. And I was like, yeah, I know F-Zero. He was like, no, no, no. Like this is, this is something else. And I threw it on and I was like, holy shit, dude. F-Zero GX. It's fast. Fucks. Like fucks hard and loud.

[00:46:28] For a long time, dude. It does. It fucks like the kids are at the babysitters for the night. Shout out to all the dads. Oh, fuck, man. Oh, shit. But it does. It's insane. It's like, it's unlike any other racer I've ever played.

[00:46:56] Like it's an arcadey, like I've stated before that F-Zero is kind of like one of the best. It is one of the best racing games I've ever played because it is so different. Like I would say that it's, it's way more intense than like Mario Kart. Mario Kart's fun and it's accessible because everybody knows Mario Kart. You can't be like, hey, Aunt fucking Lucy, do you want to come over and play F-Zero GX?

[00:47:25] She's going to shit her pants. She's going to die. You're going to need to call 911 because she's not going to understand how fast she's going. Yeah, dude, she's going to have a fucking stroke. Yeah, man. Like it's, it's wild and like, it's very intense. And I feel like the point that I'm getting at here is that F-Zero 99, I know just kind of came out like, what was that last year? The year before? The, the, the Switch Online thing that they did?

[00:47:55] Yeah, I think it was just like earlier. It's like really late 2023. I'm pretty sure. Look, I, Nintendo, I appreciate, Nintendo, let me just, can I talk to Nintendo one-on-one for a second? Hey, hey, Nintendo. Hey, you know, pull up a seat, a little free Oreos underneath your chair. Let's, let's chat. Let's, let's powwow. I just, I appreciate what you, what you, like the effort.

[00:48:20] Like you, you did, you, you let us know that you didn't forget that F-Zero is a good game. Um, you know, I, I haven't forgotten that you forgot about Star Fox. That's, you know, that's gone by the wayside. And I don't even believe that Metroid 4, Metroid Prime 4 is in development. I don't believe that, even though you keep saying it is. But it was nice to see that F-Zero 99 showed up and was like, hey, we still own this franchise. We can still do something with it.

[00:48:49] But, but to me, that wasn't the F-Zero game that deserves to come out for F-Zero fans. I'm not even a diehard F-Zero fan, but I feel like fans of the game, albeit liked 99, they would absolutely crumble if something like GX came out. Like a proper F-Zero sequel. Like, like GX came out now. Hard agree.

[00:49:19] Bring that shit back. Bring back the intensity. And like, just again, kind of like what we were saying with Power Stone. Bring in crazy maps that are like crossovers and stuff. Everybody likes a crossover now. And I'm not, I'm not even opposed to it. Like, give me a crossover in an F-Zero game. Like, bring some wild shit in there. I would love to annihilate my opponents and go faster than light in fucking Kirby's dreamland. Like, that would be crazy.

[00:49:48] Like, see Kirby, like, riding past, oh my god, put Kirby as an unlockable character on his little star. That'd be cool, dude. Right? You know what? Hey, Nintendo, while you're at it, revamp the ship customization shit, too. Because you could, you could make, you could make your own ship in GX. So, yeah, revamp it a little bit. Make some cooler shit, man. Like, let me put a fucking propeller on it, even though it won't do a goddamn thing. Put a fucking propeller on it. Just sort of like, aesthetic.

[00:50:18] What if the propeller, though, like, when somebody's in front of you, they get hit? Because, like, that's the thing about F-Zero. It's all about, like, kind of actively trying to damage everybody without, like, the use of, like, the Mario Kart power-ups. It's all about, like, I'm gonna ram my shit into this car. Like, you just, it's, it's like, it's like a violent tendency. You get, you get that rival thing showing you who your rival is, and you're like, motherfucker.

[00:50:49] I'm gonna ram into him like I'm driving a fucking 97 Toyota Corolla. Like, you best believe. The most dispensable car known to man. You can't kill him. You can't kill a Toyota Corolla. Dude, I, but, I played a shit ton of F-Zero GS. X as a kid. And, yeah, man. I fucking tell you what.

[00:51:13] That's, those fucking, the higher tier, like, um, higher tier, like, Grand Prix cups. Yeah, like, the, I think the highest one I got to was, like, the Emerald Cup or something. And those tracks, like, the higher you get, the, the, the, the more tracks you, the higher, the higher tier you get in the Grand Prix, like, the higher tier cup you get to, the less, the less walls and borders you see on tracks, dude. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

[00:51:42] Because, like, if, if you miss a turn, if you blink for, like, a second, and, uh, like, a turn comes up, you're dead last place. You're fucking the entire race. More than ever, people really like a challenging game. You know? Like, again, I, I don't try to come off as, like, this, oh, I play Dark Souls. That's what I play. I play Dark Souls, so I know how to play video games. But, like, Dark, the Dark Souls thing kind of reinvigorated hard games.

[00:52:10] Like, bring back those hard games. Like, even shit like Celeste. Like, those 2D kind of things that were just, like, yeah, like, bring back the difficulty in a racer. Like, and I, I understand, like, some of those, like, sim racers and stuff. Yes. They can be quite difficult. But for different reasons. The thing that I, I, I always think about is the fact that if I throw on any Mario Kart,

[00:52:35] I mean, any, any Mario Kart, right now, I can put it up to 150 cc's and whatever cup, I can almost guarantee you that I'm going to get first. You're on. And if not first, at least second. Like, I'm good at Mario Kart, but, like, I threw on F-Zero GX and in the first cup, I was like, what the hell is going on?

[00:53:04] And, like, I am not doing good. I was, like, in, and, like, there's so many people. I was like, what do you mean I'm in 20th place? Like, it was crazy. And I feel like translating the difficulty, the intensity, the speed. Dude, the speed. Can you imagine a fucking F-Zero on, like, whatever the next Switch console is, if they somehow managed to do, like, 120 FPS?

[00:53:28] Could you imagine an F-Zero and 120 just going, like, blast off fucking speeds? Oh, dude. It was, oh my God. My brain would turn into soup. Dude, that's. I want it, man. Yeah. Me too. I want it so bad. Ah, God damn. We should, we should parsec some GX sometime. And Power Stone. We still got to do Power Stone. Yeah, we got to do Power Stone night. We got to do Power Stone night with some of the homies.

[00:54:00] But, yeah, that's my list. That's your list. That's our six games that we feel like need to come back from the dead. Throw some Phoenix Downs on them. You know? Pop a Ouija board out real quick. Contact Nintendo and Capcom. Let me spit out a quick honorable mention to Golden Sun. Oh, shit. Yep. Of course.

[00:54:30] Now, you'll be upset and maybe a little excited to know that I've never played Golden Sun. It's on Switch. Or, I mean. You know what else is going to be on? It's on the Mister, honestly. The Mister. In Log Pocket. Mm-hmm. You're goddamn right. That's the perfect way to play it. On the analog pocket. I forgot to put a game on the random game recommendation thing. So, draw it out for a little bit.

[00:55:00] Let me find one real fast. Let me find a good one. Power up this little bitch real quick. Oh, what is it that you have again? What is the thing? It's the Anbernic RG353 PS. Does that have an L2 and R2? Yeah. Yeah. Nice. I've actually heard that that's a very, like, competent little retro emulator thing.

[00:55:30] That's running Botocera, right? Mine's running. I thought it was Botocera. Mine's running ArcOS. Botocera, it's one of the other ones that you can't put on it. The stock one. This model only ships with Linux. Okay. But you can put Botocera on it. Botocera is Linux, yeah. Yeah.

[00:56:00] ArcOS is decent, too. That's, like, the RetroArch thing, right? Yeah. Yeah, it's all RetroArch and shit. I like RetroArch. I have my recommendation. Good. Good, good, good. All right. Well, why don't we cut to a commercial break before we get to our recommendations?

[00:56:26] Before we start spitting out what we feel like is the most recommended games? Yes. Recommendated. All right. Well, let's take a quick first break, and we'll be back for our closing. With more Chappelle show. Mr. WareWang, Mr. 305, I'm down in today. I just want to tell you. Can we make with that up, AFC? So, batteries. So, batteries.

[00:56:53] You know, once you use up all the juice in them and they're done, that sucks. I mean, you could recycle them, throw them in the trash. But what if I were to tell you there's another use for those batteries other than sitting in a landfill or having to send them off to a recycle center. What if I were to tell you that you could eat them? You could feed your family. You know, say you use up like four AA batteries in like a remote control car or in your fat

[00:57:23] fucking direct TV remote. You know, four AA batteries in a fucking remote. Dude, that's obscene. That's disgusting. The 32 batteries that you have to use on a game gear. Yeah, fucking oh my God. But no more. Well, I mean, not no more because you do still use the batteries. But now they won't be taking up space in your trash or the landfill because as soon as those batteries are done, you just put them on a plate. Put them in the microwave.

[00:57:53] Put them in the microwave. Please make sure, please make sure that these are edible batteries only and not like regular batteries. But you don't want to throw a Duracell in the microwave. But yeah, Aaron, there's never been a better time to try out a battery, an edible battery. Not the brand name ones. Don't do that. Listeners, do not. Make sure at the end of this ad that you're going to edible batteries for me forward slash

[00:58:24] Aaron is the king of edible batteries dot org. Edible battery king. Yeah, the edible batteries. I mean, yeah, you could eat them raw like a hot dog if you wanted. But like edible or not raw hot dogs are just like, yeah, why eat a raw hot dog when you could you could boil it. You could microwave it.

[00:58:52] You could deep fry it if you fucking want to throw it on the grill. I mean, you could take you could take a handful of edible batteries, throw them in a bun, go grab all those pennies that are no longer used in our economy, melt them down into some delicious copper. Just drizzle that shit over it. There you go. You got a you got a copper battery dog. Yeah, dude. Grind them up real good. Grind up those batteries real good. Oh, yeah. Boom.

[00:59:22] Battery chili. Boom. Boom. I mean, where was this in the 90s when you're sitting on a flight from fucking Ohio to do what's Ohio to Nebraska? Mr. Worldwide. 305. Mr. 305. You know, you're sitting there with game. You're sitting there with your game gear and it's like, oh, shit. These batteries are about to die, but they're going to feed my whole fucking family.

[00:59:49] And you turn around and you just start giving them out piecemeal to all the McAllisters. And then you realize that you forgot Kevin at home. You eat the battery number nine and you're like, Kevin. Dude, could you imagine some kid on a flight? Just imagine a kid with a game gear on a flight. First of all, we got a kid with game gear on a flight. His game gear dies. He's like, oh, cheap. I forgot to pack the extra double A's.

[01:00:18] And then he just opens up the back, takes out a battery and just. And then he realizes that it's not an edible battery. And then he dies because that's what will happen if you don't eat edible batteries. You'll die. So don't eat real batteries. Okay. You eat the edible ones. All my insides are clam chowder now. Then you got to make an emergency flight stop somewhere that you don't want to be.

[01:00:46] Now you have to rely on no batteries playing a game gear that doesn't work now. You can't plug it in because it's the 90s. You just eat the edible batteries. Don't bother with the non-edible ones. You wouldn't make an emergency landing. You wouldn't buy inedible batteries. You wouldn't download a non-edible battery. You wouldn't cook a goose. Or maybe you would.

[01:01:16] Who knows. But tell them, Aaron, where can they go to get edible batteries? I don't remember that website. Ediblebatteries.com forward slash Aaron is the king of batteries. Com forward slash potpage.com. .link.tr.ee And what was the LinkedIn address?

[01:01:45] Edible batteries. Check them out. Yes. Delicious. All right. And we are back. We're back to close it out. And of course, as always, we are going to close with a random recommended game. And I'm going to continue saying that. Not because I now... I know my mistake.

[01:02:15] But now I'm going to play on it. Because I tend to fuck up words pretty often. Me too, man. It's okay. Random recommended games. I'll take it away first, I guess. Yes. My friend, who I talk about quite a bit on this show and on Super Ghost, a friend of the podcast, Dalo.

[01:02:39] He is a wealth of retro game libraries and just knowledge. He randomly one night was like, dude, I can't stop playing beach spikers. And I was like, the fuck is that? And he was like, it's a volleyball game. And I was like, why? Is it like dead or alive or something? He's like, not even. And he was like, what if I told you?

[01:03:02] Like, a super intense volleyball game with timed hits. And I was like, tell me more. Tell me more. I played this game at his house last weekend. And let me tell you, this game is fucking wild, dude. It is so intense. It's so intense. I went around the world. Like, I was touring. It was crazy.

[01:03:32] Not with Pitbull. I mean, he existed, I guess, back then. But he wasn't Mr. Worldwide. He wasn't shit. He was still like 5'7 back then. What a short bitch. But yeah, no, Beach Spikers. It is a volleyball game. But it's by Sega. It's like, it's very arcadey. And it's just so fun.

[01:04:01] It's so simple, but so fun. It's very challenging. Like, once I started getting into, like, the higher cups, like, it started getting quite challenging. And I could see the appeal of it. Like, even if you don't like sports or anything, like, you could just turn this on and very quickly pick up on, like, the gameplay style and stuff. And yeah, like, 100%, if you have access to this game, play it any way you can. Just try it out. And you'll understand what I'm talking about.

[01:04:31] It's fantastic. Aaron, what you got for us? First off, I have nothing against short people. I am 6'2". Don't listen to the allegations. I'm just kidding. I mean, I am vertically challenged myself. I'm only 5'6". That's fine. That's fine. I just, I... It's all Pitbull. I just, uh...

[01:05:00] Still don't care for Pitbull. It really bothers me to know that I would have to look up to Pitbull. Oh, man. Yeah. Even if it's slightly, it's still more than I would want to. Hey, the game I'm recommending is another Sega game. It's Defenders of Oasis on Game Gear. A game that eats batteries that you could then eat batteries.

[01:05:27] Defenders of Oasis, as far as I know, it's not at all related to, like, Beyond Oasis or Legend of Oasis. Like, the Genesis... Not that? It's not. It's different. It's, um... It's a, uh... It's a turn-based RPG. And... Yeah, you play it... The main character you play as is this prince. Uh... Basically, the bad guys are out to resurrect this evil god.

[01:05:55] And you're basically just going along from place to place, going to stop this... Stop the resurrection of that evil god. And, um... You only ever have your party of three characters, so you get pretty early in the game. So there's your prince, who is like an all-rounder, basically. Um... You get a genie, who is your only spellcaster. Um... And then the other person's like Salim. He's like this blade dancer guy. So he's like really quick. And he can land like multiple hits in one attack. And he's really agile and stuff like that.

[01:06:24] But, uh... Yeah, I first discovered this game, oddly enough, on the 3DS virtual console. Because they had a shit ton of awesome Game Gear games on there. Yeah. Uh... And yeah, it's... It's pretty cool. There's... And you said it's a turn-based RPG? Yeah, dude. Yep. I'm a sucker for a turn-based RPG. So... Might have to check that out. The visuals are pretty fucking cool for your, uh... For the Game Gear. Holy shit, actually.

[01:06:53] I think there is a fourth playable character. What the f... I must not have gotten them, then. One sec. Let me look this up real fast. Uh... Here we go. Hardcore Gaming 101. Nope. Whatever. Yeah, I guess there's four characters. But yeah, it's a good game. Sweet.
