Game Sack is the best video game show on UA-cam
Factual
Hands down. Though I'd go as far as to say the best channel period, for me.
I've come around to feeling the same way. Perfect combo of in-depth detail and humor.
I have only recently discovered Game Sack and have already binged all of the Console Crunch episodes. so good!
Me too
I don't blame you. I discovered this channel a long time ago while I was sick with the flu, I ended up watching their entire catalog for the duration. It's just that good.
And for not being that popular of a show, I can't count how many times I've seen "TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE MOOOOOOOOOOOOODE" or "HUUUGE BATTLESHIP" referenced over the years.
Good stuff.
I'm sure someone else has pointed this out by now, but this is my first time watching this Crunch and it looks like the audio was fixed for the Evercade update video in this. Nice!
That stop motion bit taking apart the NES was real slick.
Right!?!? Some of the stuff he has in these videos is well advanced but he's modest about it and doesn't rub it in your face. He's a great producer, I don't think there's been a bad video in a decade long stream of content. Joe you are the man!
3:46 the transitions where the game splits into 3d layers is a really cool effect as well!
@@plasmaoctopus1728Agree
These are great. I play them in the background when working from home.
Fun seeing Joe Redifer commenting the "classics" from the nes-era, experiencing for once games that I know about. Keep up the good work, Joe!
Game Sack has become a classic. Even if it has fewer followers than some other big channels, it is one of the most competent and focused. It´s really about the games and the knowledge about it. Plus it´s funny!
The awkward 'banter' preludes, the bad acting, the wooden script-reading, the 3rd rate dad-jokes, on the other hand we have some incredible editing by Joe, and of course the likeability of our hosts. Although we lost Dave, so we no longer have the same level of unadulterated cringe as before, 'Sack still does a mean gaming nostalgia show.
@@thegreathadoken6808 Perfect. A man of taste I see
Big channels are McDonald's. GameSack is caviar and wagyu beef.
@@L.L.2045 Exactly, yes. I love the cringe factor of 'Sack and I love BOTH the guys.
Hello and welcome to Game Sack
This is a true game channel. It feels right. Having grown up in the 80's and 90's I appreciate the content and the nostalgia. Keep up the good work. And also the fact that you don't have to hear constant profanity is pleasant.
I love these long videos. I have the worst time falling asleep and these help me a lot. They are relaxing to watch, but also nice to have on in the background. So please keep them coming.
Thanks for my next sleep video! Seen all them already, love the crunch format for resting.
I love these gamesack crunch videos. I always have fall asleep with these on...so I can consume some game sack goodness even while I slumber 😴 ❤
I too fall asleep to Joe mindlessly droning on about his addiction.
@@Iliek lol
same ,eventually i make it threw lol
Hey what can I say? It's soothing hearing people talk about things that I'm passionate about lol
@@uriahh4932 lol amen to that
Of all the times I fell asleep to this video I never noticed til now Miyamoto wearing a Genesis Does shirt LOL. Well done Joe. Well done.
I was 15 or so when I first played SMB. Blew my mind. Streets ahead of what my Atari can do! Atari ignited my passion for games, but NES renewed my faith.
SMB2 was the right call for the USA. Dialed up difficulty of the same basic game may have flipped here. If you can't top something, make it different. Great call! With all that time, they were able to make Super Mario Bros 3. They've made great use of their time. Super Mario Bros 3 is probably the finest game on the NES. It is certainly my favorite, next to Star Tropics.
Metroid requires a good memory or a stack of paper??
No, not really. People who haven’t lived in those times don’t understand. I know you guys get it. There wasn’t anything to compare these to. There wasn’t any way to have a real opinion on these games. You were fascinated by all of them. You just played and played and got to know the areas and the mechanics so well. I remember blowing up every single area that I could find. Just like in Zelda 1. On every screen we would try to blow up every inch of the walls and try to burn every single bush. It was a process but there really wasn’t anything else like it so we loved every minute of it.
Joe, sometimes your dead pan ass humor is just what I need to get through an awful day! Appreciate you a lot!! 💜
I legit thought you were Dave when I scrolled and saw your profile pic
man, thats a phrase that really needs a hyphen between ''deadpan'' and ''ass''.
Awesome !! You are a great content creator !!
They you, Mr. Redifer, for producing these console crunches. They help keep this busy trucker sane.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Joe you rule
Easily my favorite gaming channel on UA-cam
Keep pumping out the content my dude
Always appreciate the massive amount of content in the Crunches.
Yeah. Since I've seen all the eps before, these compilations make great going-to-bed watchin.
@@Jesse__H Best sleep I've had all week!
1:20:30 The funniest thing I've heard all day, cheers man.
SHIGERU with the Genesis shirt on, cheeky Joe lol
ahhhh snap, a new console crunch. late xmas present. thanks Joe!
That Mega Man 2 music hits you right in the feels!!
I watch these *every* night console crunch is so good
Oh and in 6th grade (90-91) I had a great experience with StarTropics. I rented it from our local mom and pop video store. No instruction booklet included. I got to the point where you need to dip the letter in water and was stuck.
So my mom called the video store and told them the situation. So the lady at the store called her sister who ran their other location on the other side of town and they had a copy with the instructions and the letter.
So a while lady the phone rang and I answered (I was home sick from school) and it was the lady from the other store and I told her what she need to do and she read me the code and asked if that made any sense to me and I said yes and thanked her
I was born with an nes controller in my hand. It's the first thing I remember.
Awesome! Thanks for posting this!
I want an entire episode dedicated to Rareware. They made some incredible games in thier prime.
and some incredibly bad ones
@@timsmyth7942 we do not speak of those
I shall concur , my good sir.
I have been an original hardware type of guy. Now it's getting harder to find an old TV and I must admit I have grown quite found of my 4k Samsung. It seems the price of old consoles are on the rise so buying all of them and then trying to have a setup that is somewhat neat and don't need a ton of space seems like a tall order. I have just purchased my first emulation box. After seeing some UA-cam videos of people playing on 5 different systems in a few minutes I think that will be my future. I like the ease and the idea of having all of these games in one convenient package at a very reasonable price. At the end of the day I just want to play the games that brought me joy and that I may not had the skill, time or patience to beat then, that I would like to finish now.
If Nintendo would have made an fzero and pilot wings for the launch of the virtual boy it would have done so goof
This is nothing but one of those videos I pay YT Premium for. I am enjoying every single minute of it.
Your content is awesome man.... Can put it on pretty much anytime and it'll be good. Your delivery really makes these videos. You give each game just the right amount of time under the limelight. You are irreplaceable.
I used to record Mega Man and other NES music on cassette tapes, then jam out to it on my badass stereo tape player or in the car! Its probably why I like techno music so much these days. It sure did annoy my parents/grandparents back in the day 😆
Mega Man has latin fusion music. NES music has nothing in common with techno. techno wasn't a thing at that time.
@@Hamstray Techno was a thing in the 80s, its a part of the Electronic music section if you wiki Chiptune. Also, its just what my 10 year old self called that kinda music, thank you for correcting him! 🙄
@@HamstrayWhy even write a totally wrong paragraph like this? Techno was definitely a thing at the time.
I love just having these on in the background while im playing a game.
I watch your show for almost 10 years and I absolutely love everything about it (except the lack of timecodes in the older episodes: It's so hard to find the exact game you're covering sometimes :-) All and all, thank you for your work
Same as that! Went through stages I had a bored stage as well as a whinging about the distinct lack of Dave :) But now I am like, shit this is the best thing on UA-cam ... and Joe is unwittingly the funniest motherfucker lol his dry style jokes are totally my own humour.
God loves this channel I am sure of it !
I’m glad I got the bulk of my PSP games back when they were under $15. Sadly, I no longer live in Fairfax, VA and can go and visit eStarland games in person. I’m back in Charlotte, NC and Save Point Games closed their doors right before the new year.
Fantastic restoration! Congrats! 👏👏👏👏👏
wow. i never seen these collection of video before. . great work. . i been watching you guys for what feels like a decade. . lol. . . keep it up. . love your content
pace, eturn
I had the PSP it is very very very good it is very awesome to take every game with you and play on the go in it to the TV it makes it a video game system worth having and I am getting ready to have it again thank you very much for bringing back my childhood
Thanks for making all this amazing content/videos for such a long time, Joe! ♥
I love Megamix I especially like how they incorporated vf3 moves that with the sped up game play set the tone for future VF titles
Faxanadu was the NES game that got me into RPGs, now it's my favorite genre.
Mine was the Kings Quest series by Sierra back in the days before they morphed into Gearbox and Valve. Then it was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest the easiest game ever :D aww man story driven turn based suff is packed with flavour and atmosphere, I loooove me some RPGs.
These are my favorite Gamesack videos
I love the NES episode. *chef's kiss* perfect
Great transitions in this video. Good job!
what makes Mario games better than the rest? It's not the music, because you can always go to Megaman for that. when it comes to music, Capcom was always the best for me. But it's when Mario, does a turn (like in SMB1), you see him slide, get friction from the floor, then momentum picks up and he may feel the inertia when he jumps. It just works, and Mario's animation is on point to reflect these physics. Speaking of Megaman, that also has amazing physics. Most games don't do that, you know? And for platformers, you may notice it in a real negative way.
Can't wait to get my hands on it finally. Great coverage.
For a truly dignified take on hopping vampires, I suggest the beloved 1988 film drama, Robo Vampire.
Amazing there goes my evening lol...
Happy new year amigo🍾🥂🥃 Thanks for everything you do 👍👊
The Virtual Boy's red display would be perfect for a 1st person Terminator game.
Thank you J.
this is truly a masterpiece like all the series's episodes are.
Love me these console crunch marathons!
The "Hypocrite" line made me spit my coffee. Cheers, Joe!!!
Thanks for all the nolige on video games! Always!! In your show!!! Ja dizzo here!!!!
Man, you were on the money with the picks!! I got the Tele-Games version in 1977 with the “Target Fun” title pack-in. I thought I was ripped off by not getting Combat, but it’s the best of the bunch. Great video!!!
This would have been the one episode you called in Dave as a very special guest.
one of my fave series and channels and hosts 10 out of ten
I'm from the UK and I love Dizzy games. I had a whole codemasters pack. Loved them.
Dude you obviously didn't play much of the pinball because i've put in hours and hours on that game and the tables really have some cool bonus stages and stuff going on it just takes a lot of playing to see them.
Don't blink or you'll miss Shigeru Miyamoto iconic T-shirt...I see what you did there 😉
everytime i wake up from autoplay, your videos are playing. and so far im not complaining :)
Oh.... am I the only one complaining waking up to this?
I like petting my cat to these long episodes.
I love these marathons
Awesome video can't wait for the next one
21:56 You actually DO NOT have to hold up constantly in Rad Racer. Once you reach top speed (255 km), you can let go of up and just hold the gas. You retain 255km and can naturally build up to it slowly by just holding the gas down normally. Yeah, you have to hold up to engage the turbo, but it's not something you have to absolutely have active all the time.
"Dracula's scarier, he doesn't need to hop" Dracula's final form in Rondo of Blood: Hops
Legend of Kage was actually the first game I bought when I got my first console (NES). Kid Niki was also one of my first games. Huge nostalgia for both. Now I got Kid Niki arcade on MiSTer.
Nice, mine was Double Dragon. Feb 1989 I bought the NES Action Set with Christmas money and the next day I bought Double Dragon. I was in 4th grade by the way. Paper Boy might have been my next game. I got Turtles also pretty soon after that game came out
Solid list. Bases Loaded 2 was awesome, I remember spending many weekends playing with friends, then when they went home, I would play Dragon Warrior during the week after school.
There are so many awesome games for the NES that are dirt cheap. I am a huge fan of Robowarrior for instance - part of the Bomberman world, imagine BM played in an adventure mode.
Great selection of games.
That's my evening taken care of
That was an amazingly awesome episode! Thank you for sharing your amazing work.
I appreciate it. You are a pro, an inspiration to me as a small content creator. Look forward to your next project. Peace ✌🏼 peace
I can't stop watching this video
I swear I've seen every episode of your show, I even turn on the marathons when I go to sleep and your all just in my dreams and shit constantly lol
also thanks for never yelling
Great work Sir
His Karnov impression reminds me of Jack Black in Saving Silverman when he does the mime impression.
It's quite interesting that you didn't play super mario brothers 3
It was the biggest game ever. No game had that kind of hype
3:21:47 waking up to your eyes like this messed my day up 😂
Joe's first console was the Sega master system. This explains my experience in highschool.
On the 15 minute mark, patiently waiting for Blue Shadow to appear...maybe Hook, and Gremlins too 😂
Finally, someone who knows Shadow of the Ninja as Blue Shadow! It's one of my all time favourites.
@@PoutingTrevor I only recently found out it had 2 names 😂 probably has the best song in a nes game 🤟
Game Sack is in my top 5 UA-cam channels. I even made a playlist to put on while I sleep. It's super relaxing, I miss Dave though
I agree with you, this is great.
I swear killzone mercenary looks so good that it could be released on the switch and people will still say it looks great
right on thanks!! keep up the great work !!!
Mega Man...just wow. I remember back when Mega Man was still quiet new. When Mega Man first launched in 1987 I had an Nes and Master System. Many of my friends talked about how awesome the game was but I was too involved with Castlevania for the Nes and Space Harrier for the Master System. I technically missed out on the first Mega Man as I didn't actually get to play it until the early 2000's.
No, my first experience with Mega Man happened while at a sleep over in early 1989. It was on my best friend's birthday and he got a few games (Castlevania, Jackal, and Mega Man 2). After playing Jackal for a few hours he threw on Mega Man 2...and it blew my mind. Just after hearing it one night it stuck in me like nothing had ever before. I would get my copy not to long after. Incredible.
i'm glad this played after what i fell asleep watching instead of the history of Prince of Persia or whatever. wakin' up to the Sack!
I'd love to see Dave back for a special or two. I haven't heard any updates but I hope him and his family have been well! I'm surprised you didn't bring him back for these.
Can't wait to get off work and watch!
Gamesack is right up there with Metal Gear Jesus for me
There is an awesome sequel to Legend of Kage on the Nintendo DS. It's worth playing for sure.
i think the same damn thing when you talk about a italian plumber, i take egg anytime over him..really ;)
You're a man after my own shell 🐢
Love NES
That adventure time shirt is clean AF you get a like and subscribe for that boss. 💪
Bro MegaMan was a love project they could create it but only during down times
My phone/YT algo has tuned itself to play this video if i dont chose one.😅
3:05
I thought something was off about that picture. Had to do a double take.
nothing better than the smell of fresh sack in the morning
allright that racinggame joke was pretty
funny :)
Three games of my childhood: Super C (can still beat it to this day without the code), Mario 3, and RBI Baseball..... honorable mention: Whomp'Em (Underated game)
Used to draw the mazes in Metroid and Castlevania 2.
