  • I love getting surprised by my shipment from Video Games Monthly. This month saw me receive two NES titles, a Game Gear cart, an N64 fighter, and a Genesis game I legitimately never would have played if not for VGM.
    And it would have been a mistake, because the game is legitimately FUN. What game is it? You'll have to watch to find out.

    Always a good day when the new VGM video drops! This is one I would've loved to get. I never played Tetris 2 on the NES, but I discovered the rom years later and thought it was great. But Ecco was one of the dozen or so Game Gear games I had as a kid and must've played through it 100 times. I admittedly haven't played it in at least 2 decades and I'm not sure if it would still hold up, but I used to think that game was so damn cool, even if it was slow paced. There's some fun puzzles that aren't too brutal but still make you think a bit, and once you get used to the controls, it's a lot of fun zipping around underground caves as a dolphin.

    Sweet grabs for the NES. 🤙🏻 The Revenge is my favorite of the DD trilogy too. Such an improvement on the first game and not the ball breaker of the third. Berenstain is truly a surprise! I would have thought the exact same thing as you did when you pulled it out. 😂

    Nice box! I agree! Ecco the Dolphin just isn’t the same anymore. And I remember that game! I loved the books and tv show. That game was 🔥 back in the day!

    Nice! That’s not too bad of a box at all!! That Berenstain Bears game looks pretty cool. Wouldn’t have ever thought it would be that cool! Great stuff!

    Double Dragon II was my favorite carts to have on my NES probably. Instant classic and such a great series.

    I cannot remember being so crushed by a game until I played Tetris 2. I love original tetris. I was anticipating 2 player, new music, and maybe a battle mode but everything else was regular tetris. DDII is great VGM is great for getting games that just missed your collection.

    Getting DD2 on NES is awesome amd surprised that Berenstein Bears looks decent as well.

    Solid VGM Box. Most of them seem to be decent. Such a cool service. As soon as you showed Berenstain Bears, I immediately remembered playing and having fun with it on my step-bros Genesis back in the day. I totally forgot about that game and TV series on top of that.🐬🐬🐬 Take care! 🟩

    War Gods has a test mode which is great for checking out if all your controller buttons work. That is about all I use it for.

    @WavesNGames Місяць тому +1

    I never understood the allure of Ecco. I played it as a kid and it never clicked.
    I feel like a lot of kids games from the late 8-bit through the 16-bit eras were all much higher quality than we thought they would be.

    WOW! Nice value box you got! Ecco was never any fun for me. Never heard of your last game before very cool. Great video like always. I will be getting two replacement games on my box. I had a low value box + a defective game... can't wait to see what I got.

    Wow you got my favorite druggle dragon! 😂
    For real though, looks like a great value here. All of the VGM videos I've seen make me want to give it a try. I'm with you on Ecco, though. Great idea, great presentation, questionable execution. Still a good vgm haul overall though!

    Good box again Jay! I understand about Ecco. I made it my mission as a kid to beat it (Genesis), so I like the series. Agree on Tetris 2, didn't work for me either. I am an odd duck and I actually really like War Gods - Kabuki Jo and Anubis were my characters. Looks like I need to track down the Berestein Bears game now tho. Cheers

    Love Double Dragon 2. One of my all time favorites on the NES. Also about the PS1 fighting games, if you want a real banger try one of the Bloody Roar games or Soul Blade. Soul Blade = precursor to Soul Calibur and it's still rock solid on PS1.

    Not a bad box. I agree with you about Eco, I never liked it myself. As for Tetris 2, looks fun, but yeah just doesn't say "Tetris" to me. Not gonna lie, I laughed out loud when I saw you pull The Berenstain Bears game, but like you I was pleasantly surprised by the look of the game and the gameplay. Thanks again for another great video and looking forward to a review video of Druggle Dragon!!! LOL LOL

    I never new there was a second Contra for the nes until I was an adult. I didn't know anyone who had it. I can't get used to the backwards controls of Double Dragon 2. I still need to beat that one someday. I'm trying to beat as many NES titles as possible.

  • @retrowildlands
    @retrowildlands Місяць тому

    You're not wrong about Ecco. I don't get it either. In fact, seeing the logo made me physically ill and brought back all the pain I've been suppressing around that game. Some wounds never heal... 😅

  • @GenerationPixel
    @GenerationPixel Місяць тому

    Yes! Just when I don't think I couldn't like you more, you let me know you're a fellow Echo hater ❤
    Oh, and Double Dragon on the Atari 2600 is the best port of that series 😉

    I actually liked Tetris 2. I may be weird, but I liked the Tetris games in the 64 too.
    As for Ecco, I've always hated Ecco the Dolphin. I never understood the love for it. The history behind it is weird too.

      Would that my red eyes were due to being stoned. Sadly, just dry contacts and the eye drops didn't clear things up.
