What will YOU sample??

Sched!

Next week is another Steam Next Fest, and this time, unlike others where I filmed but never uploaded, I'LL JUST DAMN STREAM GAMES I WANNA TRY IN FRONT OF YOU ALL!

Also, I can confirm there's NO embargo on this Keymailer-featured game, lol! 😅

Do you miss inhaling?

10/17/2010, we got Kirby's Epic Yarn on the Wii! It was ported to the 3DS as Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn!

It was the first non-Virtual Console Kirby game on the Wii, the first console Kirby game since 2003, and the first console Kirby platformer since 2000.

Is he cuter than usual?

10/14/2010, JP got Yarn Kirby on the Wii! It got ported to the 3DS as Yarn Kirby Plus!

It was the first non-Virtual Console (RIP) Kirby game on the Wii, but it took away the inhale abilities he's known for, instead using a yarn whip and transformations!

Bonjour (Hello).

Comment allez-vous (How are you doing)?

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 3d

I never did touch this as of yet, so I only have words to go by. You, on the other hand, got firsthand experience to speak on.

1) Ohhh, Dan Hibiki/my probably fave voice of Mega Man X (despite a NOT GREAT fighting game where THE Maverick Hunters are FINALLY in a Vs. game) is in it?! Wow!

I went off the SB3 page on the SB Fandom. The ally section said a tiger can be an ally.

Rainbow Feather or Silver Wing?

10/15/2000, we got Pokemon Gold & Silver on the GBC! To this day, they're still MY personal favorite region(s), and they can feel like long adventures! The world may as well have shaken with the new Dark (WWE heels) & Steel types. Pokerus, too!

Wednesday Wins!

What did you make happen this past week that you're proud of?!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 5d

With the PC needing to work some massive overtime, I'm pushing back the stream to 6p ET at the earliest, 7p ET at the latest, and I'll post when live.

I gotta dust the good thing, and I'm gonna do a clean reinstall of OBS, hoping it'll fix SE dot Live.

WE'LL SAMPLE A LOT!

I feel bad I couldn't find a not-faded PS3 box art of good quality!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Do you wish more would come here like I do?

10/12/2010, we got Sengoku BASARA: Samurai Heroes on the PS3/Wii! Samurai Warriors, but Capcom!

Everyone can learn up to 4 base skills & 3 "super skills" so to tear into the 1000s.

With the Ally system, you can even bring in a TIGER!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Was this worth it?

The week of 10/11/2010, we got Sonic 4: Episode I on consoles! iOS on 10/7 too, but ignore that. A platformer like the old days, or it tried to be!

It IS a sequel to Sonic & Knuckles, but it also has his Homing Attack from later games. Speed feels dampened...

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

HOW MESSED UP IS THIS?!

10/11/2005, we got... Devil Kings... for the PS2.

WE DONE MESSED UP SENGOKU BASARA! T.T It's still a hack & slash/Sengoku-themed Warriors game from Capcom, but all changed because DMC fever and, apparently, we'd hate Japanese history?

KOEI STILL DID IT!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Fave animal friend?

10/10/2000, we got Spyro: Year of the Dragon on the PSX! The 3rd platform action game in a trilogy from Insomniac Games!

This time around, Spyro's gotta rescue dragon eggs from a Sorceress, her apprentice Bianca, and the Rhynocs. He won't be doing it alone!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

How'd you feel seeing these Bug Blox in KH3?

10/7/2010, JP got Kingdom Hearts Re:coded on the DS! It's an action JRPG remake of the mobile Kingdom Hearts coded.

I swear this is a real short KH game normally, but it still swings like one! Power up Data-Sora with a Matrix system!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Is this any better than the first?

10/6/2005, JP got Gunstar Super Heroes for the GBA! It's a run & gun sequel to the Mega Drive original!

Golden Silver's destruction made 4 moons around Earth, and a 5th moon wants to bring back it & the Empire.

No Throw, but there's melee!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Does this feel more like the anime?

10/6/2005, JP got Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! on the PS2! It's an arena fighting game, and a series started 20 YEARS AGO! We got a NEW game in Sparking! ZERO last year!

It's too bad people can't change forms in battle here. Next game, though!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Should this get a port?

10/5/2010, we got Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light on the DS! It's a turn-based JRPG spin-off of Final Fantasy.

Random encounters, "Crown System" Jobs, and turns that feel like the older FFs should sure appease the "No Action Final Fantasy" crowd!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

You know Hideo Kojima produced this??

10/5/2010, we got Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on the X360/PS3! Apparently, it's a good action-adventure game, especially the music from Oscar Araujo.

Announced w/no Castlevania connection, this is a radical reboot starring Gabriel Belmont.

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

Should more people play this?!

10/5/2000, JP got Eternal Arcadia on the DC! It's a turn-based JRPG with a big focus on exploring.

Should this be considered legendary? After all, its staff include contributors to all of Panzer Dragoon, Phantasy Star, Sonic, AND Sakura Wars!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 6d

How IS this related to the Aleste shoot 'em up series, anyway??

10/5/1990, JP got Gun-Nac on the FAM! It's a vertical shmup. You're gonna fight rabbits & carrots & other things through 8 levels w/5 weapons & 4 bombs.

Apparently, there's relation to the Aleste shmup series??

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 7d

How you feel about the box art?

10/4/2005, we got Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow on the DS! A Metroidvania/action JRPG sequel to Aria of Sorrow on the GBA starring one Soma Cruz, descendant of Dracula!

Instead of the gothic arts of the past, now there's anime designs at play here.

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 7d

How's it look?

10/4/1995, we got Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on the SNES! It sure looks like a coloring book with "scribbled crayon" backgrounds, doesn't it?

Unlike Super Mario World 1, Yoshi can lay & throw eggs, and they were added to distinguish this from others!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 7d

IS this a challenging game?

10/4/2005, we got Mega Man Zero 4 on the GBA! A platform action game like the past games, of course!

You have 8 stages to pick from, like in the MM & X games, and they each have 2 weather choices.

No new weapons to get, but the Z-Knuckle is new!

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 7d

Do you like this more than Colosseum?

10/3/2005, we got Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness on the GCN! Man, Cipher was terrible to manufacture a Shadow Lugia. If you notice, unlike other Shadow Pokemon that just have a shadowy aura & red eyes, Shadow Lugia--or XD001-- LOOKS different.

THE UnKamen Soul @unkamensoul.bsky.social · 8d

SHOULD we honor this?

9/30/2010, the world got Final Fantasy XIV on PC, and... only lasted 2 years. It was an MMO, of course.

Unlike XI, you could go for longer w/o a party (THANK GOD), among other great ideas, but criticism aplenty led to its end.

But, like the Phoenix...
