Ever since it started on GBC I've been hooked on the series, just glad it's finally getting a bit more steam. Hoping to see eventual physical releases of the console versions again sometime down the road. Also...... Dance party!
14:12 *Vietnam Flashbacks occur. Showing clips of Johnny reviewing Sonic 2, Sonic 4: Episode 1, and Sonic Pocket Adventure.* Johnny: God please help me, they finally found me...
4:33 Oddly enough, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is the series’ take of a Metroidvania and may possibly be the only time extra lives in a Metroidvania that does work. 14:27 Heh heh. About that, the Metroids do appear in Kirby’s Dream Land 3. No joke. XD
@@edwin6309 Pfft, that's what every video game and anime developer says to stop people having sexual fantasies about their characters...or the developers themselves are just really horny.
Haedox I played the first game and I found it enjoyable, but I cannot deny the faults that Johnny points out in the video. I am grateful that I did, however, because it helped me appreciate how the series had evolved since then and how Wayforward learned from what worked in those games and what didn't. #VoteForShantae #ShantaeForSmash
If you've only got the funds for one then definitely go for pirates curse. It's by far the best. Shantae controls so well, the character interactions are hilarious, and the world feels fully developed
Stelilathehippogriff The Slicers are the most infamous enemies in the Sonic the Hedgehog Series. They are robotic mantises that attack by launching their blades at you. Their appearance in Sonic 2 is mainly what earned them their infamy as they were common throughout Metropolis Zone and cheaply placed. Their attacks are also very difficult to avoid, which adds to their infamy. Granted their later incarnates aren’t as annoying, but everyone seems to detest them. Johnny especially hates them and I honestly don’t blame him.
Stelilathehippogriff Johnny actually voices his hatred of them in his Sonic 2 review, and I’m prepared to say that he’s not exaggerating. Unless you’re the type of person who can do no-hit runs in sonic games and know the mechanics and other aspects of the game like the back of your hand, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get hit by at least one Slicer
DanDoesGaming I don't find her hot, but in the first game her craawling and ducking animation for some reason reminds me of a cute little baby learning to move.
dabhdude It was from his Sonic 2 review (it's an old one): ua-cam.com/video/_Z2sHIECjvw/v-deo.htmlm28s And his Sonic 4: Ep 1 Review too: ua-cam.com/video/HnlvR0OqYS8/v-deo.html
HOLY SHIT IT'S SHANTAE ...What? You expecting the obligatory "Shantae for Smash" comment from me? Well not today! I shall hold off my urges to get people to vote for Shantae and shall instead watch the video and try get Johnny's opinion on--fuck it, Shantae for Smash!
I honestly really liked the dancing mechanic in the first game. That game has great animation and the way the music changes when you perform each move is very satisfying. I sometimes stopped to dance for a bit just for the fun of it.
Apparently (as I found out myself then googled up) the *Shantae GBC* game has a bug in that it can outright _crash_ (to a blue screen) when collecting a Warp Squid. Yeah, that also deletes your save file. But hey, I'm not as frustrated with losing my save as I made a 'Restore Point' when I was in Oasis town, before I was in the labyrinth for an hour and corrupted my save file. ... ...Thank god for that Restore Point...
It has such a small chance to happen though, there's practically no information on that Warp Squid bug. I only found one review (I think on GameFAQs) that mentioned it. That I could find atleast. And that was a review for the original cart if I'm not incorrect, meaning everyone that played this had to deal with this. Aware or not.
Never heard of Shantae before this video, and I bought Pirate's Curse just because of this review. And damn, am I grateful to Johnny! Pirate's Curse is a damn good game, and I never would've discovered it without Johnny. :D Definitely do yourself a favor and play it!
Johnny's dancing is probably better than a rhinoceros eating a valcano on a Sunday afternoon next to a yeti who believes in the tooth fairy but only in April...
While standing upside down humming the national anthem watching the "The Toothfairy" starring Dwayn "the Rock" Johnson while listening to "GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY REINDEER"
Him pointing up at the "title" reminded me of when UA-cam actually had the title of the video above the video itself. Wow, classic UA-cam, it was so long ago.
Hmmm, I remember last year SomecallmeJohnny that you were loving Risky's Revenge and you were pretty pumped for Pirate's Curse. I guess after sinking your teeth in, you weren't completely in-love with it anymore? xD Just an observation I noticed. But it seems though you still enjoyed the first two games I think haha. Pirate's Curse seems a lot more up my alley with how streamlined it is, despite loving the metroid-vania the first game had (seriously though I had no idea where to go for the first two hours haha); so I'm still overly excited 1/2 Genie Hero is coming along (: But still, great video as usual! Can't wait to see more!
I just want to say, thank you so much for making this review SomecallmeJohnny. I did not know about these amazing games back then, but your video has gotten me to playing Riskys Revenge, which in turn, got me into the Shantae series. Once again, thank you so much Johnny! I don't even think I would of found out of this amazing series, if it weren't for you to make a review on this game series. Thank you so much : )
+Rouge I am a bit disappointed in myself though that I didn't have time to back the kickstarter for Half Genie Hero, so I would recieve the Exclusive Risky costume.......cri cri cri ;-;
Thanks to this video I gave this series a chance, and I'm happy to say that I'm now a Shantae fan. Seriously though, I've been interested in this series for a while, since I'm a big fan of 2D sidescrollers and metroidvanias. This video just gave me the final push I needed.
***** It's him hinting that he'll do a marathon of him reviewing all the StarFox games in the series. He often gives out hints on what games he'll review next.
I love how after finding out there were basically Sonic 2 Slicers in the game and he said "What's next, Metroid's in Kirby?!?!??!" And then eventually reviewed the Kirby games and found out there are Metroid's in one of the games 🤣
***** One of her victory poses should be based on when she defeats a boss and spins around in the air, her normal attacks could take a lot of inspiration from the physical attacks from the first game, her specials could be a combination of her transformations and pirate gear, her crouch and crawl animations could be exactly like the ones in the games, her taunts could be some dance poses from the first game... Oh the possibilities are nearly infinite! #VoteForShantae #ShantaeForSmash
TheFennekinKing If the review didn't make it clear enough, Johnny has a dozen valid criticisms to say otherwise(they aren't bad by any means but they do have a lot of glaring flaws in many regards).
VladNorris I know that but these games are just so underrated you just need just a tiny bit more love although I do respect his criticisms of games in general
TheFennekinKing They're as loved as they deserve to be. They have gathered the audience they have earned. It's not a bad series but it does not deserve to be a colossus of the platforming genre.
Johnny’s criticisms are valid but they’re only his own. People can fully disagree with them and also be valid. I think these games are masterpieces and if you disagree fine, but don’t pretentiously try to tell me I’m wrong for having that opinion.
Dance, John, dance. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll get The Pirate's Curse one of these days, but I know I'm DEFINITELY getting Half-Genie hero when that comes out.
John once you're done with the Indie games can you please look at games made by Croteam? Especially their Serious Sam franchise and The Talos Principle?
WayForward is the example of a company that knows what it's doing as a company that pushes its own IPs from scratch - particularily with Pirate's Curse and their games get better over time because they garner more attention/support and mechanically improve. I personally want Shantae and other WayForward series to reach the beloved attention of more popular franchises.
has anyone ever played the SomecallmeJohnny drinking game? take a drink every time johnny says "what not" wasted before the end of the video lol. love the channel keep up the great work
14:12 For those of you who don't know or forgot the preying mantis looks and acts like the preying mantis robot enemy in Sonic 2. Probably the hardest enemy ever designed in a Sonic game just due to how much you can die to them over and over and over again because of how the level Metropolis Zone is designed.
Hey johnny You are one of my favourite youtubers and I've been watching you for years now, recently I made a 500 subscirber special "animation" and you and elliot are featured in it! It's nothing special, just a couple of appearences here and there but I still thought I'd let you guys know :) Keep doing what you're doing man!
This video was great. Loved the explanation. And that ending gave me so much life. Also, for anyone wondering, the song is called 'Dance Through the Danger'. It's the main theme of Shantae Half Genie Hero.
As soon as John was about to point at the top of the screen, it finally clicked in my head. TITLES USED TO BE ABOVE THE VIDEOS. I've been on youtube for YEARS and ALWAYS noticed whenever there was a change, but I NEVER even NOTICED THAT! Holy fuck am I late to the party on that one.
I've always wanted to try Shantae, but never had the money or interest to try them. Seeing this, I'll go in the first two with caution and Pirate's Curse with more enthusiasm. Also, the ending bit was hilarious. What's the music for it? I must know! :)
Hub Hikari eh Risky's Revenge is a lot better than he's making it sound (though his complaints are valid) It was the first game I tried in the series and it made me a huge fan. Pirate's Curse is fantastic and admittedly though I'm very happy I can finally play the first one legally on the 3ds, that game is mostly a skip for me except to see how the series began.
Tell me if you heard this before? One gameplay style that someone likes, that's totally alien from the other games, and then the next game in the line up is going to go back to that style and not the one someone likes. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM I cant put my finger on it, where have I heard this before........ Anyway, I hope for the best with Shantae, it is a good series.
Thanks to you, I loved DS catlevania titles to death and after they announced 3ds castlevania I was the happiest person on earth but we saw what that atrocity was and I was totally hopeless seeing what Konami is doing with their IPs and the fact we will never have old metroidvania castlevania games ever, but Shantae came to rescue. After watching your video I gave it a try and oh man this game is full of juice and when I start to play it hours pass like seconds. Shantae and teh pirate curse is hands down one of the best if not best metroidvania there and in my opinion it even surpassed DS castlevania games. And the soundtrack, even if its tunes are not serious like castlevania games they are so catchy and amazing. THANK YOU putting this gem in spotlight.
" Dagron

And getting her into Smash would definitely help out with that!

Johnny, you just said my new favourite quote of all time.
Imagine if she's in smash? She could use her items and pirate gear as attacks and use her transformations as a Final Smash and victory poses.
***** One of her victory poses should be based on when she defeats a boss and spins around in the air, her normal attacks could take a lot of inspiration from the physical attacks from the first game, her specials could be a combination of her transformations and pirate gear, her crouch and crawl animations could be exactly like the ones in the games, her taunts could be some dance poses from the first game... Oh the possibilities are nearly infinite! #VoteForShantae #ShantaeForSmash
It kinda sucks that the dlc characters don't have custom moves because Shantae could easily have a full moveset AND customs.
5 Volt Nah all her moves and items are enough for attacks.
***** her final samsh she will take her clothes off and then belly dance XD
swagy sawger umm no get your R34 shit away from her

WayForward is the example of a company that knows what it's doing as a company that pushes its own IPs from scratch - particularily with Pirate's Curse and their games get better over time because they garner more attention/support and mechanically improve. I personally want Shantae and other WayForward series to reach the beloved attention of more popular franchises.
has anyone ever played the SomecallmeJohnny drinking game? take a drink every time johnny says "what not" wasted before the end of the video lol. love the channel keep up the great work
I've played Pirate's Curse and just beat Half Genie Hero and they're both fucking great.
I can't wait for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero! The Shantae series really is a hidden gem.
It's coming out December 20th!
So Johnny,are you exited to be in the next Pizza party podcast?
He is gonna be in the pizza party podcast, AWESOME. I feel that rebel taxi and somecallmejohnny could do an interesting review collab.
WHAT?! WHOA!
John for pizza party
XD he was invited! He needs to join!
Vincenzo DiMatteo Rebel Taxi is a fucking creep.
5:15 ...of course he was starting out here this is a hella old game..
Fantastic video, you covered a lot of points that I was curious about for this series. The dancing at the end was great.

0:57 I bought a physical copy, in fact two!
...from Limited Run =w=
"Metroids in fucking Kirby"
Oh you poor sweet fool...
The new games will Release in two months. Yessssssss...
YAY You're reviewing the games of my waifu Shantae!!! :D
NintendoVeteran85 What a surprise I never thought to see you here friend!
DANTVSVERGIL hey buddy :D I love watching johnny's videos!! HE'S EPIC!! :)
NintendoVeteran85
He is epic I agree, it's been way too long since I've watched a Johnny video, but I'm glad I'm back watching him again.
DANTVSVERGIL me too. he gives ALL of us gamers a very good name!!
NintendoVeteran85
yea
Was that Shantae's Voice Actress Christina Vee singing at the end there
+Andrea Nicole Yep, it was.
Awesome she's one of my favorites
Emeraldsound honestly, that does sound like a good song. I should look it up.
Cristina Vee? THE Cristina Vee? Nathan Sharp's fiance?
Do you know what that song is?
wow! feels great seeing johnny starting to become huge in the gaming community. keep up the great work bro
14:12 For those of you who don't know or forgot the preying mantis looks and acts like the preying mantis robot enemy in Sonic 2. Probably the hardest enemy ever designed in a Sonic game just due to how much you can die to them over and over and over again because of how the level Metropolis Zone is designed.
16:26 AlphaOmegaSin?
well, Kirby's dreamland 3 had metroids.
Yes, that's the joke XD
Hey johnny
You are one of my favourite youtubers and I've been watching you for years now, recently I made a 500 subscirber special "animation" and you and elliot are featured in it!
It's nothing special, just a couple of appearences here and there but I still thought I'd let you guys know :)
Keep doing what you're doing man!
AWESOM-NO I saw it and it was funny! Great work man!
Keep up the good work.
This video was great. Loved the explanation. And that ending gave me so much life.
Also, for anyone wondering, the song is called 'Dance Through the Danger'. It's the main theme of Shantae Half Genie Hero.
As soon as John was about to point at the top of the screen, it finally clicked in my head.
TITLES USED TO BE ABOVE THE VIDEOS.
I've been on youtube for YEARS and ALWAYS noticed whenever there was a change, but I NEVER even NOTICED THAT!
Holy fuck am I late to the party on that one.
Now he can do the MOTHER series!
14:26 Metropolis Zone in the early day of magic n stuff
But sonic 2 was first.
I've always wanted to try Shantae, but never had the money or interest to try them. Seeing this, I'll go in the first two with caution and Pirate's Curse with more enthusiasm.
Also, the ending bit was hilarious. What's the music for it? I must know! :)
***** I just found it: Dance Through the Danger. It's pretty good. :)
Hub Hikari eh Risky's Revenge is a lot better than he's making it sound (though his complaints are valid) It was the first game I tried in the series and it made me a huge fan. Pirate's Curse is fantastic and admittedly though I'm very happy I can finally play the first one legally on the 3ds, that game is mostly a skip for me except to see how the series began.
***** It's not from _Pirate's Curse_, it's from _Half-Genie Hero_.
Tell me if you heard this before?
One gameplay style that someone likes, that's totally alien from the other games, and then the next game in the line up is going to go back to that style and not the one someone likes.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM I cant put my finger on it, where have I heard this before........
Anyway, I hope for the best with Shantae, it is a good series.
computermonster1 Mario, right? :P
To anyone whose wondering what the song at the end of the video is, it's a song called 'Dancing through the danger' from Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero.
Thanks to you, I loved DS catlevania titles to death and after they announced 3ds castlevania I was the happiest person on earth but we saw what that atrocity was and I was totally hopeless seeing what Konami is doing with their IPs and the fact we will never have old metroidvania castlevania games ever, but Shantae came to rescue. After watching your video I gave it a try and oh man this game is full of juice and when I start to play it hours pass like seconds. Shantae and teh pirate curse is hands down one of the best if not best metroidvania there and in my opinion it even surpassed DS castlevania games. And the soundtrack, even if its tunes are not serious like castlevania games they are so catchy and amazing. THANK YOU putting this gem in spotlight.
Yeah... I still don't get why everyone, and I mean EVERYONE wants Shantae in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
***** I don't. I voted for Lu Bu.
+RobotSnake HELL YEAH!
***** i am the only one who doesn't want shantea

FusionComet a heavy weight bowser jr.?

Mastermind
