The Genesis 6-button controller is a huge help when playing Comix Zone, and is pretty much essential if you for whatever masochistic reason happen to be playing Batman Forever. Also, in The Lion King, doing a flip attack with adult Simba can be a little tricky, but the 6-button makes it super easy.
This is easily my favorite episode so far, and I've been following this since it's inception. Between Jared's history of the Genesis Street Fighter cart and reminding me that I actually watched of few episodes of the "Widget the World Watcher" cartoon; then Dylan rhyming to the point of impressive hilarity, then just spilling out his crazy brain. Fantastic work gentlemen. 🍻
the game sucks though, you can tell Miyamoto saying it's good was just for publicity. Plus it's not hard to figure out why it failed : the character is ugly.
The boss theme in particular goes FRIGHTENINGLY hard. It starts out like an intimidating haunted house, but then it turns into what I would argue is the 1993 equivalent of Carpenter Brut's Roller Mobster.
Dylan was on fire! Lol, also, you blew my mind today Jared. I had no idea the 6 button controller for Sega Genesis was specifically made for Street Fighter.
Fun fact: John and Ste Pickford, the main developers of Plok, actually own the rights to Plok (the character, not the game, there's some sort of legal limbo where apparently both Software Creations and the U.S. publisher Tradewest owned the rights to the game at the time, and both companies were merged into bigger companies that both went under, Acclaim and Midway respectively). They have been making a webcomic for a few years now featuring characters from the game and other games they developed and own the rights to.
I was born exactly one year before these announcements, it's so cool to have an episode on my birthday! Keep up the good work Jared and Dylan, this series is awesome!
Tim Follin laying down god-like beats for the most obscure or bad video games always makes me smile. One of my favorite playlists on UA-cam is just a bunch of his music and it's called "HOLD ON TIM FOLLIN, IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME MAN!"
Now what Jared failed to mention about Plok, is that he does not just throw his hands, first off it is more like arms and legs, so he has only 4 projectiles when he is not transformed, there are ways that you can your limbs stuck and have to hop around as a defenseless body. You can also make him walk on only one leg by firing 3 times, then walking away, it is quite funny. I do remember playing that game too much XD
Plok's boss theme goes so hard you'd think it came from a Hotline Miami soundtrack before Hotline Miami popularizing synthwave in media. The Follin brothers were truly ahead of the times.
yes also More SNES music that goes hard af: “Full Mega Man X OST” Super Mario Kart soundtrack “Street fighter II / 2 soundtrack” "Complete Super Metroid Soundtrack (1994)” “Plok!

That scrapped SF2 Champion Edition somehow ended up quietly leaking and circulating as a bootleg under the name of SF2 Turbo (It was turboless) basically contemporary with official releases of the time. For being not quite finished it wasn't half bad. It wasn't until couple years ago that people figured out what that bootleg actually was.
The bootleg version was actually the most widespread version in the South American market, to the point that when the official version got a re release in that area, people complained they'd been given the wrong version.
I have very fond memories of Plok. It's fun and unique, comfortably blowing most of its genre competition out of the water. Plus, as mentioned, the OST, though admittedly short, has a good mix of whimsy and driving rhythms - particularly the boss theme is very memorable.
When I first started watching this series, I came for the Jared, but damn if I didn't stay for the Dylan. This man's lovely deep disembodied voice cleverly twisting words and phrases into rhymes, alliterations, highbrow and lowbrow puns and wordplay of every description... it's really impressive. His style and cadence is a robust contrast to Jared's, and somehow I find myself deeply enjoying both main sections of every video. Very much a chocolate and peanut butter synergy. Kudos all around for Now in the 90's!
Editor Dylan, PLEASE don't ever start researching anything(or sleeping) The quality of your scripts demonstrates that that particular creative process works great. Almost makes me wish that other guy "Jason" or something would stop talking so we get to the Rapid-fire Releases. 🤭
My dad LOVED Utopia. We played that so much. He was like "it's SimCity but sci-fi!" It was one of the SNES games we played the most. I'm glad to just hear someone else knows about it. I
Me just counting down the weeks till the release of Secret of Mana. Also heck yeah, I remember Widget The World Watcher and Super Widget! I used to rent that bad boy from video rental store here in the Netherlands. I remember enjoying it, mostly because of the TV show. It was one of the few games that I played with my younger sister at the time.
I think the funny thing is that even with the additional buttons if you count the shoulders and the select then the snes controller still had more buttons.
Dylan's segment on Utopia was freaking master class XD. Though I have played PTO but it was on the SNES when I played. I didn't know it was on the Genesis.
Ok, the cut to the street fighter commercial had me instead cut to an ad for manscape. As annoying as youtube ads can be, the timing is amazingly hilariously
Thanks, now I remember Widget the World Watcher. As a kid that was a cartoon I watched all of one episode of, didn't get into it, and moved on. But somehow I always remembered it and it just kept coming up. It's like Widget is watching *me*. And that's scary.
What a blast from the past! I remember playing Plok and it was super fun, out of all the mascot games at the time it surely was among the best... Unlike Widget, from which I barely remember its cartoon and also forgot about its tie-in game 😂 Also Dylan, are you saying P.T.O. was a Koei game?! I had no idea they went into modern military strategy sims and makes me want to play just for the experience. Thank you so much for keeping this show strong and its episode longer 👏🏼👾
Man I’d just turned 15 back when this was released. What a very special time for gaming. A time when everything was still exciting and new. Fabulous video my friend. I absolutely love your 90’s look-backs.
It feels like the worse Dylan feels, the better his segments are. I hope he can find some deserved r'n'r and still bring the same energy to his segments, because I love them. And since noone else seems to mention it, we all are also fans of Jared, right?
Woah, Club Nintendo got mentioned. In the early and mid 90s they got often monthly Mangas. They pitched ideas to Nintendo Japan and got original Japanese Mangas for their magazine in German language. Unique.
MY BOY! I’m so glad I had Plok as a kid so I could appreciate it. Sometimes I’d just sit still and listen to the music. But now what will I spam each episode of Nit90’s with now?
The creators of Plok, The Pickford Bros.: Ste and John, are still active with a webcomic of Plok and still appreciate fan art or other recognition of Plok on social media. They currently operate their own company called Zee-3 Limited, and not too long ago, there was a limited release (only 500 made) of the Plok Soundtrack on vinyl records with an album cover made by Ste Pickford. They are still quite active on social media, so please, anyone, help them find a way to port Plok to the Switch so we can play it again. It would be great!
I'm so hyped for your opinion on Secret of Mana next time! I was looking forward to it since I knew this series started! It's my favourite game and it has probably one of the best 16-bit art design and music. Alone the boss theme makes me thinking about nostalgic gaming sessions with that game.
On Ghengis Khan II, if you search for generals in Englad, you have a chance of finding Robin Hood. He has really good combat stats, and a an A grade in charm.
Dylan killing it once again with that script, holy moly
And how!
He doesn't diddle around with it 😄
@@chrisrj9871diddle your mom
Yea one of the best end segments so far. 😆
He's on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Dillan (sp?)! That rhyme-a-thon made. My. DAY!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Dylan never fails to surprise me in his segment, my hat off to you sir!
It’s better than 98% of SNL sketches
Dylan's segment was the most incredible unhinged thing I've seen in a while.
Perfection.
Unhinged was the exact word I was thinking. I nearly spit out my chocolate milk.
Dylan is the best tbh. Im glad he is part of the show.
The Genesis 6-button controller is a huge help when playing Comix Zone, and is pretty much essential if you for whatever masochistic reason happen to be playing Batman Forever. Also, in The Lion King, doing a flip attack with adult Simba can be a little tricky, but the 6-button makes it super easy.
Also made the special rush attack in SoR3 not locked behind stars/score.
The 6-button controller is superior in every way, so I don't get why Sega keep bringing back the 3-button controller.
That Dylan segment is unhinged and I am loving it.
This is easily my favorite episode so far, and I've been following this since it's inception. Between Jared's history of the Genesis Street Fighter cart and reminding me that I actually watched of few episodes of the "Widget the World Watcher" cartoon; then Dylan rhyming to the point of impressive hilarity, then just spilling out his crazy brain. Fantastic work gentlemen. 🍻
Plok's soundtrack is incredible, genuinely sounds like a prog rock album coming out of your SNES.
the game sucks though, you can tell Miyamoto saying it's good was just for publicity. Plus it's not hard to figure out why it failed : the character is ugly.
Plok Akryllic weirded me out at the time because it was in a hardass level with blind jumps and spike balls, but the song itself is mind-blowing.
@@armorvilagree. Basically the poop emoji a decade early.
The boss theme in particular goes FRIGHTENINGLY hard. It starts out like an intimidating haunted house, but then it turns into what I would argue is the 1993 equivalent of Carpenter Brut's Roller Mobster.
@@armorvilOr maybe, just maybe people like different things. Ahh no. That couldn't be it, everyone knows that amorvil's tastes are the one and only.
Dylan your Utopia narration deserves a standing ovation
That -tion alliteration by Dylan was just perfection!!!!
AAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!

Hm, that probably means Warner Brothers Interactive owns the rights to the game. I wonder if they'll ever do anything with it.
@@Rob_ThorsmanI can tell you for free that they'll do two things with it: Jack and Sh--.
Dylan deserves a raise for the Captain Planet cutaway during Widget.
Edit: also Dylan's rapid fire release this week was awesome.
How does this channel only has 50k subs. It deserves so many more!!
50k subs with 30k views is a really good ratio, though.
Oh i hope monocle Piccolo will stay with us for quite a while
I vote for never let editor Dillan sleep ever again.
Exceptional transitions Dylan
I love it when he pauses right before saying "Bubsy".
DYLAN, MY DUDE, YOU KIIIIIILLED rapid-fire release. You're a monster.
I was born exactly one year before these announcements, it's so cool to have an episode on my birthday! Keep up the good work Jared and Dylan, this series is awesome!
Can I just say how much I love these. Nerd history is best history.
The chaos in the second half was lovely. Good work all around, gents.
Tim Follin laying down god-like beats for the most obscure or bad video games always makes me smile. One of my favorite playlists on UA-cam is just a bunch of his music and it's called "HOLD ON TIM FOLLIN, IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME MAN!"
agent x's theme on the zx spectrum is great, although, my ears start feeling weird after 10 minutes of listening xD
Thanks, I'm looking this up now.
TIM IT WAS JUST PICTIONARY
And that's one heckuva standing ovation for Dylan. G heckin G my dude!
I always love listening to Dylan wacky antics, whenever he shows up.
Editor Dylan's segments are pure genius, keep up the sleep deprivation!
I am so here for the swapped themes for Duck Tales and Goof Troop.
If Dylan is that entertaining while sleep deprived, i want to know what a well rested, and non-diddled Dylan would be like.
His name's Dylan Dylannis?
Dylan wins the internet this month.
oh my goodnesss this was fully a Dylan stolen show. He crushed it. You both rock and I love this series! Keep up the awesome work you two.
That reminds me. Guys, you have to listen to the Super Widget menu/options theme. It's somewhat of an real short banger.
SF2 CE was weekend staple amongst my friends back in the day. So many memories!

What an incredible segment by Editor Dylan!
As soon as Dylan starts talking, I remember that I need to tap like.
0:30 Special Champion Edition is one of my all-time favorite Sega Genesis games!
Editor Dylan ATE with that Utopia segment holy shit
Dylan's section is absolutely cursed this episode and I am HERE FOR IT.
Plok is a favorite among my retro gaming circle. It’s great to see how beloved it was even at release!
That scrapped SF2 Champion Edition somehow ended up quietly leaking and circulating as a bootleg under the name of SF2 Turbo (It was turboless) basically contemporary with official releases of the time.

Super Widget was one of the few games I remember renting from the local grocery store on the weekends and it being a good pick.
The Utopia rhyming is genius, Dylan. Keep it up!
Cmon editor Dillan hitting those mariah carey whistle notes!
Holy Moly hearing those cartoons' theme songs mashed up by Dylan was an experience
boop-ba-da-doop-boo-doop!
13:40 👍

Love the Piccolo call back. Moar Dylan pls.
Dylan truly outdid himself in this episode! Those 3 Romantic Kings were WILD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Dylan sir you deserve a standing OVATION
UUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!
I completely forgot about Plok despite playing it when I was a kid. Same with Super Widget! Man this show has hit its nostalgia sweet spot for me.
My brain hates everything about your Goof Troop and DuckTales themes. I love your sections, Dylan, keep it up.
Once again Dylan is awesome in this episode. Can't wait for more waaaay too expensive Game Boy games!!
Dylan's segment on Utopia was freaking master class XD. Though I have played PTO but it was on the SNES when I played. I didn't know it was on the Genesis.
Dylan always pulling out something new. It's kind of crazy
Ok, the cut to the street fighter commercial had me instead cut to an ad for manscape. As annoying as youtube ads can be, the timing is amazingly hilariously
Plok is a childhood favorite of mine, and the soundtrack is Legendary.
GO editor Dylan!
Thanks, now I remember Widget the World Watcher. As a kid that was a cartoon I watched all of one episode of, didn't get into it, and moved on. But somehow I always remembered it and it just kept coming up. It's like Widget is watching *me*. And that's scary.

Wow, I had no idea Street Fighter is why we got the 6-button Genesis controller. I loved that thing.
Been watching this show for a few months at least, Dylans script this week was the best I've heard so far! 10/10
What a blast from the past! I remember playing Plok and it was super fun, out of all the mascot games at the time it surely was among the best... Unlike Widget, from which I barely remember its cartoon and also forgot about its tie-in game 😂

i think PTO 2 or 3 was on the ps2.....
nice callback with Piccolo with a monocle
That's how the Six Button came about? Mind...Blown.🧙♂️🤯
Dylan is the best part of this show.
Here for the B.D.E. (Big Dylan Energy)
😂 Godamn Dylan just nails his segway every week.
That sounds painful.
Man not to ignore Jared but Dylan is crazy good at this.

Woah, Club Nintendo got mentioned. In the early and mid 90s they got often monthly Mangas. They pitched ideas to Nintendo Japan and got original Japanese Mangas for their magazine in German language. Unique.
I was one of the kids that both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat for Genesis, played both constantly and loved both. Still play the series today
Dylan’s commentary is absolutely hilarious
MY BOY!
I’m so glad I had Plok as a kid so I could appreciate it. Sometimes I’d just sit still and listen to the music.
But now what will I spam each episode of Nit90’s with now?
Bravo Dylan. Bravo 🎉❤
I think I need some headache medication after listening to Dylan talk about Utopia.
Love this channel, Jared! Really surprised it's only at around 50k subs! Deff deserves more.
Piccollo with a monocle needs to be a running joke on this channel.
Dylan got them bars!
Good job, boys. Get some well deserved rest, Dylan.
Best channel of this year
I lost it at the swapping of the Duck Tales and Goof Troop themes. XD
The best thing about Widget wasn't the show, or games. Was that damn purp ice cream bar.
