As the self proclaimed biggest Rave Master fan in the world, I was glad to see this gem pop up on here. I actually took this game to go get autographed by Yuri Lowenthal a few years back and his face lit up when I handed it to him to sign. Apart from having J Micheal Tatum sign my microwave, that was the best experience I’ve had getting something autographed before. Giving a VA something that’s so obscure that they did but something they loved doing is always a great experience.
Fun fact: the PS2 Bebop game was completely translated and dubbed but never released in the west. So there's a whole lot more Steve Blum as Spike out there that we will NEVER see.
Not if my Kickstarter to kidnap Steve Blum and make him record every word in the English language in every possible inflection so we can make our own Spike Spiegel Vocaloid gets off the ground
And the gameplay itself is weird. It's some sort of fighting game but not only, it's over complicated. There are also Saturn games, mostly dating sims if I'm not mistaking.
@@kretesWMV I'm with the guy above. JoJo is fucking terrible. I don't mind if the music is in there though, but so long as I don't have to be constantly reminded or somebody explaining something is a JoJo reference, the better. Seriously, annoying.
i rented that izzy one when i was young because i wanted to play a more recent game on the SNES, thinking it was made in 1995 or something, since he was the mascot of the 1996 olympics. I was so disappointed and confused to read that it was made in 1992 once i started it up, and also disappointed that it sucked. why did they make an entire game based around a mascot that wouldn't even be at the olympics for 4 more years? that's.. kind of a long time.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief on the DS was an obscure one I owned. It was a turn based JRPG based off the film that was surprisingly decent. Fun little romp based off the film that actually expanded the universe in cool ways by introducing other demigods and even had a robust post game where you fought the other Olympians.
There was this one licensed game that was weirdly alright. Monsters Inc. Scream Team for the PS1. It was easy and short, even if you 100% it, but I remember it being a good time last I played it.
I don't know about games based around vehicular combat. I've never played twisted metal or similar games. Although, I have often thought that a game based on the movie "Death Race" with Jason Statham would be pretty awesome. You could create your own character, have lots of on foot side quests in the actual prison to earn new armour and weapons for your car, customize your own vehicle in the workshop and engage in the titular death races with icons for you to run over in order to activate your weapons, tactical items like smoke grenades, defensive abilities, track hazards and traps among other things. I think it could be great fun to play a game like that if it were done well.
Not gunna lie I loved that live action Jungle Book when I was a kid. That snake always blew my mind as a child lol and that brisk tea commercial with cartoon Lee was amazing and I’m a huge SKA guy so give me Reel Big Fish anytime 😂😂
that jungle book use to come in some cereal boxes as the "prize" i had like twenty of those dam things HELL i might still have one lying around in a box somewhere....
To me the strangest licensed game ever is they made Beastly for the Wii. Beastly. For the Wii. Someone looked at that weird teen goth Beauty and the Beast inspired movie that nobody really liked and was like "Hey, let's make that into a video game...for the Wii." I know the Wii was like the king of random shovelware titles, but to me Night at the Museum sounds like a GREAT idea for a video game compared to Beastly.
Oh boy. I love me some strange bad games. Licensed or not. One of my favorite bad PS2 games is called Portal Runner, it wasn't related to anything, but just seeing some bad games always makes me think about it. I did have a question though. Have you ever heard of or played Battle Hunter? A turn-based dungeon crawler that could be up to 4 players on PS1? I'd love to hear your thoughts on that game.
"As much as I love Mad Max...well...everything besides Thunderdome." Awww, c'mon Austin. Haven't we gotten...BEYOND THUNDERDOME!? (This comment brought to you by MST3k. I've waited 20 years to use that joke)
I love me some Cowboy Bebop. I wanted to name my second son Spike. My mother in law told me if my wife and I named him Spike, she would never speak to me again. Guess who hasn't talked to their mother in law in 3 years.
Yay! I've never seen anyone besides my brother and I who saw the 1994 live action jungle book! No one ever knows what I'm talking about when I try to describe it.
You are terrible and awesome at the same time ... This is a complament . Like a gamer Rey William Johnson . Legit shit I haven't seen before repackaged that's nice and a honest love and real-ness to your videos hopelessly comedic that works . As I'm writing this you gave bebop some love props definitely one of my faves!!!
I hate anime, but I do really like Cowboy Bebop. If you look back at 80's computer games, WOW are there tons of licensed games you would never believe. SHORT CIRCUIT the movie had a game. Some are even halfway decent!
In the 80s and the 90s kids watched adult movies all the time and back then everybody knew that and did not think it was a big deal like people do now so thats why they made plenty of games and other stuff for kids based on those movies. In the old days people did not think about kids as idiots and wimps that cant understand or handle anything like people do now. Both stuff made for kids and stuff made for adults used to be way more violent and sexual in the past because people where not so sensitive and scared to be offensive and make people complain back then.
Austin, I love you, but that Jojo Wallpaper is telling me that you’re gonna make a video on a Jojo ps2 game and everyday you don’t eats at me the same way I eat through a box of hot pockets.

That part where you flash a scene from Scalebound made me cry. I still want that game.

That makes me sad
yeah I've heard the story behind it. it was so close to completion and it looks so good too ugh!
Download the rom!?
Perhaps it'll leak one day. It tends to happen.
>says forrest law
>shows marshall law
forrest is the one who appeared in tekken 3, and is marshall's son, he's based (a little) on Brandon lee.
BROTHER GARY a fellow Tekken fan!
My bad.
@@austineruption
it's all cool my dude, nobody's perfect!
Aren't we all our father though
For some reason, I was expecting the N64 Evangelion game.
I've played it and had completely forgotton about it until now, it was such a strange game, very odd that it came out on N64
And the gameplay itself is weird. It's some sort of fighting game but not only, it's over complicated.
There are also Saturn games, mostly dating sims if I'm not mistaking.
Possibly the first game I remember seeing emulated on pc. Most people I knew who ran Project 64 had a rom of it!
I like how Road Raiders straight up rips off Mad Max ON THE COVER
*Has JOJO in the background*
*Doesn't talk about JOJO*
*Still makes an enjoyable video*
Jojo is trash. Makes this vid 10x more watchable without referencing it.
@@Loveistheirwholehapp But, didn't he already refer to it by putting it as his background?

My older brother had Mad Max on the NES when we were kids for some reason! I remember it being needlessly hard but eventually figuring it out

They actually introduced Izzy at the Barcelona closing ceremonies in 1992. I guess they just couldn't wait to crank out a game with him in it.

That Jungle Book game looks like it would fit perfectly as a Sega CD or CD-I game.

I had this exact thoughts a couple of days ago.
The original death race has a game on nes.
-under a second of OMF:2097 music
-still recognise it
-proceed to rock out
Thanks, Austin!
As far as obscure anime tie-ins go, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Battle Orchestra for PS2 is a pretty solid fighting game.
Those flashing lights at 12:30 caught me by surprise 😂
Holy hell I haven't heard about monster rancher in forever
Just found your channel and man I love it. Great stuff, bro. Liked and subbed. 😀😎👍👍
I remember renting the Izzy game often as a kid because I loved the character so much.
Ghost in the Shell on PS1 tho
Mmm, mighty fine game right there
Also, Reboot was another weird licensed game that exist
Not gunna lie I loved that live action Jungle Book when I was a kid. That snake always blew my mind as a child lol and that brisk tea commercial with cartoon Lee was amazing and I’m a huge SKA guy so give me Reel Big Fish anytime 😂😂

2:17 thunder dome is a classic
I used to borrow that mad max game all the time from a cousin of mine, had no idea it was supposed to be obscure
Am I the only one that thinks the NES mad max game actually looks pretty damn ambitious and impressive for the time?
I can't believe this Jungle Book game exists. I always thought I made it up because I never met anyone else who played it as a kid.
Oh boy. I love me some strange bad games. Licensed or not. One of my favorite bad PS2 games is called Portal Runner, it wasn't related to anything, but just seeing some bad games always makes me think about it.

Awww, c'mon Austin. Haven't we gotten...BEYOND THUNDERDOME!?
(This comment brought to you by MST3k. I've waited 20 years to use that joke)
The Bruce Lee game is the only tie-in/license game I ever remember and it was great in my mind.
Ben Stiller's model in the NatM game looks like a younger G-Man from Half-Life.
I love me some Cowboy Bebop. I wanted to name my second son Spike. My mother in law told me if my wife and I named him Spike, she would never speak to me again. Guess who hasn't talked to their mother in law in 3 years.
The P4 music in the background. Everydays great at your Junes.
Yay! I've never seen anyone besides my brother and I who saw the 1994 live action jungle book! No one ever knows what I'm talking about when I try to describe it.
I played far too much Quest of the Dragon at my mate's place back then.
In my defence I was probably stoned.
I played an SNES version of Izzy's Quest. I remember getting lost on the second level. It was a rental so I could not go back to it when I got older.
I can't decide which game on here surprises me the most.
The bruce lee games video... The world needs to know about what lies within
Bite your tongue! Reel Big Fish’s intro for the show was epic.
Holy shit, I haven’t seen that Dukes of Hazard game in a good 15 years, at least. Dumped so many hours into that as a kid.
I have the Napoleon Dynamite D's game. I don't remember getting it but I guess my parents got it for me as a kid. I played it very little lol
Damn Rave Master. Been a while since I’ve heard that name
I realy like the out place silent hill ost in the backgroud. Makes me feel dread for no reason. Thankz
Ouch.. That Scalebound reference hurt too deep..
I wanted to play that rave master game back in the day because I like the show and was interested in power stone but I couldn't find it anywhere.

10:27 Nice Choice
I saw McDonald’s Treasure Land Adventure in the intro and got excited. Then you never mentioned it. Much disappoint.
i remember rave master! me and my friend played it when we were younger .
You my good man have just earned a new sub
Games that immortalize real life people.
Oh my god, I had that PS1 Dukes of Hazzard game.
I actually just recently got that Mad Max game. Haven't played it yet, but I bought it. lol
| See you, Space Austin.
Everyone talks about Enter the Matrix, no one mentions Exit the Matrix
Izi is just Bubsy in a costume
I wanna mention the existence of a PS1 Ghost in the Shell game.
I'm surprised there even *is* a Ghost in the Shell game. Next thing I know there'll be an Akira game too.
@@amirgarcia547 There is. For the NES (well, Famicom).
Olivier Doriath Oh yeah, I think I remember Austin talking about it in a previous vid.
I hate anime, but I do really like Cowboy Bebop. If you look back at 80's computer games, WOW are there tons of licensed games you would never believe. SHORT CIRCUIT the movie had a game. Some are even halfway decent!
I've played Hop About.
I played the crap out of Hop a Bout when I was little.
You should finish Rave Master dude
The laser was green BTW you might be colorblind
Oh please do make A History of Izi! That would be amazing.
No ones ever really gone
that's a nice background
I remember watching that version of The Jungle Book in school
You can hate cowboy bebop, don't lets this youtuber tell you what you can and can't like or dislike, you are not wrong.
I had 7up back in the day dominoes pizza too

This dude burned Death Stranding well before release and kinda called it too lol
MadMax was a GTA for NES!
I just went through for a shitty moment and you made me laugh out loud with the cowboy bebop stuff. Thanks man!

Austin, I love you, but that Jojo Wallpaper is telling me that you’re gonna make a video on a Jojo ps2 game and everyday you don’t eats at me the same way I eat through a box of hot pockets.
Nice vid. :D
