  • Face Raiders is one of the many things the 3DS had to offer on launch and ironically enough it was one of the best things, I mean who doesn't like raiding faces!

    I used to spend whole afternoons with my classmates trying to beat the face raider bosses (we actually did beat the game, no clue how because we were stupid kiddos). Love the way you edit your videos!

      Ditto, I have no idea why but the game freaked me out. I ended up putting it in a forbidden folder at the very right end of the home screen so that I'd never have to see it again.

      @ well if that's the case, then neither of those are correct. The first portable device with Miis on it is...
      The Wii Remote. You can save Miis to your Wii Remote and bring them to a friend's house.

    Bro I actually have played a lot with all the 3DS pre-installed games, this was one of my favorites and it gave me so much nostalgia seeing those bosses and patterns again. Oh and I definitely remembered how hard the last level was. I'm not even sure if I completed it in the end.
    Anyway, awesome video, thank you so much for covering a piece of my childhood, you gained one subscriber :)

  • @OTFTYT
    @OTFTYT 9 місяців тому +2

    I think the most underrated part of this game is the 2nd phase to the final boss. You're given the illusion that you've beat the game, but wait, plot-twist, hes not defeated yet! you gotta shoot his afro and start the 2nd phase, shit scared the life outta me as a kid, and it was even harder to complete since if you accidently shoot his afro, you tank HALF YOUR HP.

I would literally play this over and over again till I go back to being a kid all over again. My grandma would freak out everytime I used to play this around her as she would think I’d be taking pics of her and everyone else LMAO!

    I remember Face Raiders, one of my childhood games. It was such a fun game and I remember when I wouldn't just make the faces the enemies, but also the furniture and drawings as well. Made it more silly and dynamic in some ways. Also, great vid, I like the humor, editing, analysis, and extra facts as well. I bet the thumbnail of this vid is a foreshadow of what was shown in the end of this video lol. Keep up the great work. (I wonder if you'll do a vid of Miitopia)

    • @ThatGuyWhoGames
      @ThatGuyWhoGames  Рік тому +2

      Miitopia was hard for me to get into, but I feel like as an adult it’s just not my style anymore, maybe one day if I get into that mindset and be able to compare it to the switch version, it should be fun!

    I never passed the Final Stage as a kid. After I managed to defeat the boss during the first round where you cause the laser beams to hit him, I couldn’t afterwards when he launched stars into me. I then found out not to shoot his afro and finally completed it all these years later.

    Younger me had so much trouble doing the final boss. Though I did enjoy the 2nd phase's theme. It has a motif of the title theme and come on the boss laughs at you in the theme. The boss laughs because even though it's armor is gone it still has an ace in the hole. I did end up beating it... eventually.

    I played this game all the time as a kid and I found a really cool glitch if you play road like in a car or bus when ever the vehicle terns it would take the stage with it forcing you to move around more which makes for a more challenging and fun experience In my opinion.

    Every single Friday after elementary school, my mom would get me Little Ceasar's Pizza WITH crazy bread damnit, and I would just head into my room and *GRIND* Face Raiders. Me and my cousins would spend time and time to grind the ever living HELL out of the game and even got as far as the final boss.
    Amazing side game for a handheld console, love the vid!

    I find it so bizarre how Face Raiders is now getting a pseudo-comeback into the public eye, because i've been looking around for references for my own personal reasons and there's so much fan content realised RECENTLY, like...this month recently....it's so bizarre how it's just suddenly gaining traction again!
    Of course, you gotta be actively looking for it (hens why i'm saying pseudo-comeback), but still!
    Stuff aside, i feel like this review isn't really going that much in-depth and could probably benefit from going more into what the game has other than basics. Like...idunno: talking about the butterflies that heal you? The Bombs? The Golden faces that give you a hefty bonus when completing a level? Some of the Bosses patterns? The UFO? The Show a friend feature? Seriously, more bulk would have been nice.
