    No, that's a perfectly valid observation. Sound cues like that are important to pick up on. Heck, in fighting games like Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, people get annoyed at how verbose the characters are and stuff with their voice samples, but in reality, they're also sound cues for making sure you are doing the combos right, at least in my opinion.

    The Japanese version seems more complete than this one:
    There are green hearts that give you more life.
    There's an actual ending sequence when you beat the final boss (kinda short, though).
    You can play Battle Mode by yourself (I heard that the AI is stupid hard, though).
    You can unlock a Black and a White Chameleon (one of them is unlocked by beating the game, but the other one requires all carrots in the game, which are gone outside Japan, and you have to fight him)
    The Boss Rush level has you fight harder versions of the bosses.
    There are helpful powerups like Big Head to shoot bigger enemies and one that freezes enemies.
    One of the levels has a Bowling minigame.
    And oh yeah! That Queen Ant you like? She has a health bar!
    So, yeah! We got gipped!

      It does make sense that the Japanese version has more stuff because it was actually released there a month after the West got it, so they probably had time to add some extra stuff. It's possible the green hearts were intentionally removed from the Western version to make it slightly harder, though; it wasn’t uncommon to do that, I assume because easy difficulty was generally seen as a negative at the time and/or the publishers didn't want people to rent it, beat it once and then take it back without buying it and thus not generating any revenue, something that wasn't a relevant issue in Japan because video game rentals are prohibited.

I remember Antdude only taking about this game for about 4 minutes and ending with "There was no way I'm going to get a full episode out of this." Meanwhile, you make this 15 min long video, include so much more information, and despite it being a longer video that AD's, it's still paced incredibly well. I never feel like any of your points drag on too long, nor do I need you to explain anything further. Awesome as always, James!

    The same people who made Chameleon Twist made a little known gem for the gameboy called Chalvo 55. Its Japan exclusive but has some really interesting concepts. Its actually a sucessor to that cancelled game for the virtual boy he was talking about. If he did a review of it that would be amazing.

  • @tomodaphne
    @tomodaphne 3 роки тому +2

    Although they can’t be considered expressions, each of the chameleons have slightly different eyes. You can see a side-by-side comparison of them at 13:33.
    Davy: the default chameleon whom I’ll be comparing the others to
    Jack: has narrower eyes and lower pupils
    Fred: is Fred
    Linda: has eyelashes and a bow since she’s the girl. The eyelashes look like little gray spots on my phone, but they’re more defined in the Japanese version of Chameleon Twist 2.
    Also, the opening cutscene is different based on which chameleon you pick. AntDude played the game as Fred, and the chameleon in that scene is yellow instead of blue.

    Also, I agree that they should've done more with the tongue mechanic. I see tons of potential in it, I feel like you could do something REALLY creative and fun if you expand upon it a lot and make it more challenging as well. Hopefully, the sequel does that.

It also contains an unsolved gaming mystery called the Perfect Code.

    I have fond memories of this game mostly bc I was so young when I played it. I know I never owned it bc I still have all my N64 games but I think I must have rented it from Blockbuster like 5 times bc I definitely played a lot of it (or maybe I just rented it during like spring break or something). It was so fun and cute! I know I played the pool minigame a lot. Loved the characters and sound design!

    Didn't remember this game until this episode when I suddenly recall the stuff from a N64 magazine, recallin' the more chameleon-like, uh, chameleon your character used to be and even the before and after. :D Never played it but seems like a very much okay but not great kind of a game with real neat ideas.

    I would love to see you play starshot. I hated it first as a kid but ended up liking it. It's such a wierd game and has a lot of great ideas and is often quite funny. Plus it has this scene where you go through a miniature Battlefield which I still remember myself playing around in and keeping a save just to play that area over and over again. :)
    Keep op the good work.

    @JMFSpike 5 років тому

    It's *almost* a hidden gem if you ask me. A couple of the bosses were definitely a bit too easy, but I thought the levels were all pretty well done, and finding all of the crowns is a fun little challenge. The one big flaw that holds it back is it's length. It's a very, very short game, and there is barely anything left to do after you beat it. The sequel tried to fix that issue, but I just can't get into that one. The levels are more open, which should be a good thing, but they made them way too maze-like and frustrating. It was not fun, and I actually gave up on the very first level. It's a shame because this could have been a great long running series.

  • @cappantwan2978

    Man, I remember renting this once. It was so short that I beat it before I had to turn it in. I saw the sequel, but I was never interested enough to rent it since the first one didn’t leave much of an impression on me.
