- Balan Wonderworld was a game I've been hyped for ever since it was revealed to the world in July of 2020. But after the demo came out I began to have very mixed feelings on the game. So, how has the game changed since then? Let's find out! Here's my review of Balan Wonderworld.

I'm just glad you'll never have to play it again. Great review dude!
Oh hey, it's the dude that everyone thinks is a girl because of his thumbnails!
Also plz make Sonic Unleashed Part 4...

Everyone: oh yeah thats cool and all but wheres your review Radical?
@@SamProcrastinates cool opening
I've said it once and I'll say it again:
Just because Yuji Naka made a good physics engine in 1991 doesn't mean that he's qualified to direct an entire game in 2021.
Yeah he might be a good engineer but he defnitly aint a good director or desighner
Naka always wanted to quit since day one and said he could've been a musician instead, I think he hates games.
@@kingkazma3246 yeah he must hate games
@@kingkazma3246
Between Yuji Naka saying he wanted to quit and become a musician instead and Yu Suzuki(from Shenmue fame) never playing games at all when his job is maling games, it's almost as if SEGA devs in general don't like games or something.
@@kingkazma3246 When did he say he wanted to be a musician instead?
The devs were writing, the animators were going game dev, and the writers were doing animation
And the CG cutscenes were done out of house
EvaXephon strikes again!
@@autobotstarscream765 lmao i person of culture I see!
@@autobotstarscream765WHERE
4:05 If I have to consult an external source to understand the plot of something, that’s bad storytelling.
The book and the game should both have instead been a movie or TV show.
Man if only we didn't have examples of relying on external sources... like the starwars sequels....
This is the same garbage they did with final fantasy 15. Imagine having to watch a whole movie, anime series, and pay for 3 dlc just to understand the story that still is bad with plot holes.
@@kevo300 Yes, I totally agree FFXV does fall victim to this whole situation, however FFXV did have some pretty good gameplay, after you got through them long ass loading screens, that atleast made it somewhat worthwhile
Or maybe that was their way of charging 70usd for the whole experience
You know you're in for a good video when "DO NOT BUY" is in the title
The intro song adds the icing to this cake, too! 🤣
@@amandamakin1542 it's honestly great lyrics set to beats that just work like it was always a great idea for him to do
Honestly I personally believe this was supposed to be an animated series that was turned into a game at the last minute just by judging by the animation and music budget compared to the actual game.
According to the interviews with Naka it wasn't but it should've been.
It was always meant to be a game. It just has good music and pre-rendered cutscenes.
It’s very obvious from the controls that this was supposed to be a phone game.
That doesn't make sense and I don't think that is a thing that happens
@@mako3951 That was the intention, Naka wanted to make social games but a man named Shinji requested Naka to make a platformer for the sake of competition and that's not the motivation you want to have when making a collect a tion.
This game makes Sonic Forces look like the most ambitious Sonic game.
Lol
Aaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy ;-;
It shouldn’t, but it does
It makes sonic o6 look like a game worth 30 bucks
@@leik7728 i don't mind sonic 2006
The beginning was gold
Yes it was
I really loved the part where he renamed his script for the Balan Wonderworld demo to just "Balan Wonderworld". It was an unexpectedly unique and clever way of saying "yeah... nothing's changed"
The lyrics fit more than the actual ones they went with. Hey, at least this one was in *ENGLISH*...
Definitely
I agree, the intro song is hilarious & actually is all quotes from his livestreams of Balan Wonderworld.
"Balan Wonderworld should have been called Balan Wonderland because it's a better name!"
You have said all that has needed to be said.
Thank you for your service Sam.
ALSO don't buy it
Sup A Sup
That will always get to me that even it's name was screwed up. Like it just rolls off the tongue because it ends in the same type of syllable, BalAN WonderlANd. It's absolutely proof that they machine English translation pick this name and that no native English speakers were involved. It's like back with Daikatana where the character was named Hiro Miyamoto.
I remember when the announcement trailer came out, Sonic fans claimed this would be the game that sinks Sega and Sonic Team and shows that Yuji Naka is a key figure in bringing the Sonic franchise back to its glory.
Those people got hit with a reality check with this game.
Yeah premydaremy must've felt dumb after this game
Sam is going be like: it's not Yuji Naka fault that balan wonderworld that turn bad it square enix fault!
He said that once to sonicteam when he review sonic forces and later defends them on sonic community with permay demey and twip when they discus about sonic 2006 the game that's behind sonic team and yuji nakia and he blames sega because they didn't give him time to finish the game just like square enix.
He still responsible for rush game of sonic 2006 he could of just finish the game without being rough and leave
@@ezanawright7971 but even giving the game some extra time with a delay, the way how everything works in the final, it wouldn’t have helped all that much really, at most, the performance would be better and there would be less bugs (and that can be patched out), the game has many flaws coming from the core of the game itself that may’ve required waaay more baking time at the oven
Sam's song of that game is worth $60 more than the actual game itself lol
Tbh
Agreed.
Fun Fact: They removed the Balan Wonderworld Demo from switch because it was bringing down sales.
Actually they did that for consoles. Also, the game literally tanked at release, and removing those demos won't change that.
I downloaded the demo on Switch before it got taken down
@@mathewricafrente5984 Same for the Steam version... it's a piece of history, after all.
@@aidangordon2713 Hmm, almost makes me wish I downloaded it.... Almost
_everybody gangsta til Balan turns into an anime boy_
Ew
The fact that Balan was getting thirsted over even before the game released makes this doubly hilarious.
Seriously, Balan did NOT need a face reveal. The hat itself being his face was good enough.
@@anothergamer112 Honestly. And if they really did want him to have a face reveal, they could've at least made his head look like it fits on his body-- just anything other than human, because it just doesn't work.
Everybody gangsta til the only charachter with a creative, fun, and beautiful design turns into a boring and generic anime boy
The fact that people were literally begging for this to be delayed says a lot.
Yuki Naka had one chance to develop a platformer for SE? Damn, I feel bad for him now.
@Cyber Console wolf thats cool i hope someone uses the models to make a better game
I'm willing to be he made game shit on purpose so he wouldn't have to direct another game.
Honestly this may sound rude but it's better like that. It's better that he leaves since from what i've "heard" from him , he is just out of the touch with the current video game market rn
@Cyber Console wolf yep.wich is very sad considering the amount of good ideas in this game. It could have been something way better. Not Mario Odyssey level but a really great game
So Balan WonderWorld is basically if someone put Mario, Sonic, and Persona together in a blender and tries to mix it, but it turns out horrible. XD
And also made the game exclusively for a child’s intro into gaming
l’m agree with you dude
I would actually play a fusion of a game like that, but only if it turned out to be good.
Don't forget Kirby
Don't forget Kingdom Hearts
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Square told Yuji that this was his ONE CHANCE?
Correct. Its very heavily discussed in some other reviews I have seen about how they 'feel bad for disliking it but need to be honest with how bad it is.'
@@Zackattackplayspokemon damn now i feel bad.
Damn, that is indeed sad. It had potential but it just wasn’t it
@@ReawakenedCH. square doesnt really make platformers and i heard they warned yu2 about it, but he stood his ground. its an unfortunate situation
At least Oshima has a bright future at Squeenix, see 4:58.
So the theatre appears when your heart isn't balanced?
Balan when he sees someone too happy: "Oh boy here I go killing again!"
I just realized something.
Balan + Lance = Balance
@@cactusblast1114 I was about to say exactly this.
**loads balance glock**
I think the running animation looks so weird because there is no bob up and down with the characters bodies as they walk, the first thing you learn about a walk/run cycle is that a person's body doesn't just stay...stationary like that haha.
Now that you've said it I can see it. I was wondering why the running bothered me so much lol. That and the fact that the human characters have the same breathing animation like the Tims (they grow and shrink, works find for puff balls, not so much for humans)
@@star22sally67 THAT TOO, it seems like they sacrificed putting any character or emotion into the animations just so they could reuse them on any model :/
Naoto Ohshima and Yuji Naka should have never left Sega and never gave up on Sonic back in 1999 for Ohshima and 2006 for Naka.
heres the thing. Sega didnt treated them right or atleast not naka in 2006 because sega was so despereate to see 06 coming out way to early
@Casswury the thing is was he ever able to fix it?
@@Fungiarts I heard somewhere that what Sega did to Naka regarding 06 was a constant thingin this series before (IIRC, as early as Sonic 2 I believe) and that Naka simply had enough by the time 06 was being developed
@@danielmartin2116 yeah It kinda makes sense considering the development time for Sonic 1 and other sonic games.
@@secoTheSonicFan well sega is a massive disgrace for disrespecting the original creators no wonder why sega is a failure today.
4:59 I smell a potential meme.
YEEESSSS LMAO
And this 13:33
Sam's video production has ascended...to simply tear into this game lmao
I haven't felt such "EUGH GO BACK TO HOW YOU WERE" like with Balan's true form since disneys Beauty and the Beast. Beasts human form was just so eugh
We don't talk about that Adam here. This is a safe space.
I remember that I used to have a crush on him. Nowadays... I cringe looking back, and I go berserk whenever someone tries to remind me.
when is the part where he puts on a balan costume and 100%s the game. d o i t s a m. i t s p a r t 4 t i m e s a m.
He suffered enough
Let him rest, this game will make him go Insane.
@@shadow364fsf7 b a l a n i s s a t a n
Square enix should have given Naka more time. Also that intro was legendary
outside of the game having better optimiziation ther is not much Naka could've done to make the game any better.
this game's problems are on its core design and ideas. the game needed to be scrapped and restarted so Naka could think better about what to do here.
They gave him plenty of time. They delayed the game once for him to finish the rest of the works on Balan, then the demo came out and.. you know the rest
I’m glad I was not the only one disappointed when he took his hat off.
Also I would rather play as hat toon boy then any of the power ups
Same
His design is the only thing that’s even redeemable in this dumpster fire, and to find out he was just a generic anime character is soul crushing
He still look better than me
Apparently, Square Enix told Naka that he had to put a deeper story in his game to fit with the company’s brand. So Naka read a book on how to write a story and just...wrote it. And somehow, he thought the story was “so good” that he had to make it into a novel as well.
I think Yuji Naka said once that he wanted all of Sonic’s moves to revolve around one button when developing the classic games, so he probably applied the same philosophy here.The thing is that Sonic doesn’t have 80+ power ups.
Not too mention Sonic's moveset in the classics were actually fun to use and the level design was built around the single-button gameplay.
@@kntranced719 Maybe Balan wonder world is meant to appeal to the children of Japan. Since Japan outright hates shooters like Fornite.
@@orangeslash1667 That’s offensive to Japanese children. They aren’t that stupid to handle games that require more than one button to play.
@@emperorfaiz and why this game didn't sell well at least the novel good.
@@orangeslash1667 No. Splatoon sold extremely well in Japan and was practically one of the few reasons the Wii U's death was slow instead of as swift as the Vita. Clearly, Japan does not hate shooters as Splatoon sold 3 million units after August 2020.
This game had so much potential...
Yuji apparently explained that the reason why the only action button is to jump is because he thinks that children will be overwhelmed by several buttons
i mean maybe if they are 2 years old, but if you want 2 year old entretainment you are better off getting a free game on the appstore
@@Rex67Diego9 A more appropriate price point for Balan Blunderworld.
Thats one way to point out that he doesn’t understand what children are capable off and what they want
A child can only be so young before a video game is an incomprehensible subject, they can't hold the controller, lack the motor skills to react to something, and press a button.
You can't make a game for toddlers but once a child gets to be 6 or older they know how to play a game with more than one button.
I was 3 years old when I first played Super Mario 64. What's this game's excuse?
7:36, the hilarious part is that this costume has the exact same introduction animation as the sheep costume
The song at the beginning is all you need to know about the game
"This game gave people seizures!"
As someone with epilepsy...that was fucking hilarious if only for how everyone's voices are clashing together and you can hear their collective pain.
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid "he had many good concepts, but didn't. Quiet. Do it. Riiiiigght,"

@@TRG_R17 "also don't buy it"
Emma was so depressed, she forgot about her birthday. Lmfao what
The dance numbers look like something out of Ninjala.
Or mmd
To be fair I've done that two times. But you have to be going REALLY through it to do that.
Balan’s “true form” tis the scariest shit I’ve ever seen
Is it really? It's not really much imo
Balan: turns into a femboy
Sam: *WHAT IS THAT!? THAT'S TERRIFYING, PUT THE HAT BACK ON!*
He went from a genuinely cool, eye-catching character design to Generic Bishonen #573
@@herpderp3916 exactly! Basically some new Fire Emblem character.
I don't see how his true form is terrifying he's just a generic anime boy. :/
Sam: Balan reveals his true form-
My reaction: True form!? Woah, that must be cool! I wonder how he looks-
*wHY IN THE F U C K*
I can't think of why the developers decided to turn the character with the most interesting design into a generic anime boy for his "true form"
@@StraightestDakregor Because Squeenix, duh.
It was so damn unnecessary and dumb looking.
Exactly! He already had an interesting and beautiful design... And then they turned him into a boring and generic anime boy, why?
@@skyxclouds3765
Why? Because he's a clone of the original Balan- the one we now know as Lance. Of course they're gonna look similar.
I've never been more excited for a Sam's Procrastination Station video...
Regarding the costumes:
What they could have done is have only 12 main costumes. One from each level basically. This severely cuts down the over abundance of costumes. (Maybe a secret costume or two but you cant mix with these)
However you should have to ability to mix and match costumes. This allows the player to get creative with how they tackle levels. Do they want a costume that's more platform based or more combat oriented? (If the combat was way more fleshed out)
Let's say fusing the Tornado Wolf and the Frost Fairy power up. Let's call it *Cold Front Canine*. This allows the player to temporarily spin enveloped in an Ice Tornado that moves along the ground. This can help to traverse surfaces of water as well. Their jump will will cause a cold front burst that freezes airborne enemies as well as causing cold updraft that gives them extra height. This height can be extended if this happens in a hot environment.
Or maybe other names and mixes like Jacko-Launcher, Wool Wrangler, Hyper Hare, Quad Super Soaker, Elastomeleon, Gigbolt Blower, Dynamic Dragon, Warping Sickle, etc.
But for this to work, the base costumes need to be good. Its difficult making good costumes from ones that are way too simple to begin with. This is just something I came up with.
Although it’s now 2022 but here’s a few things:
1. Remove the dang dancing cutscenes
2. Remade the costumes animations (like u said, make each world only 1 costume)
3. Make the bosses and enemies a “little bit” harder
4. Get some other controls like jump, use ability, block or anything else
5. Follow the story plot
6. Make all the maps with actual challenging parkour or some stuff
7. At least give it a narrator so the cutscenes won’t be that boring
8. Fixing bugs and textures
9. Give a dlc that u can actually play as balan
LIKE BRUH that’s a lot of stuff
This game makes Sonic forces look like a masterpiece.
The opening was beautiful i literally was in tears
Same here, I was literally crying of laughter
Can we sing it?
5:00 Balan looks like Orochimaru with blue hair.
Balan is evil confirmed???? *insert 50 scream emojis*
He looks more like every mouth breathing cocky demon from demon slayer
I remember when I was a little kid and I got passed a controller when playing the NES Mario, I was told one button to jump hold the other to run and I figured out the rest by myself. Using only one button honestly feels even insulting to kids, like you feel they may break if you challenge them.
"Tacking character's sadness and depression you don't see a lot!"
(Cough) *"INSIDE OUT!"* (Cough)
10:49 you can also play sonic 1,2 and 3 with an Atari controller
That intro made my day lmao
"Also don't buy it."
Maybe it is a good thing that Yuji Naka doesn't work on Sonic or for SEGA anymore.
you do realize that naka was the director, not a programmer, its obvious that square enix rushed naka to make it bad
@@londonjackson8986 square rushed naka, if they didnt the game would be good
@@theoneandonlymystichydra no it wouldn’t have, the core aspect of the game was the issue, in order to fix the game you would have to restart the project from scratch, no amount of delaying would have fixed this
@@secoTheSonicFan Maybe this game is meat to appeal to the children of Japan, since Japan outright hates shooters like Fornite.
@@orangeslash1667 If that was so, then Splatoon wouldn't be selling over 3 million copies in Japan as of this year.
The reasoning of thinking kids would be overwhelmed by having more than one button is so contradictory, because there are plenty of beloved games kids have played that have more than one button. Plenty of the best platformers out there for gamers across all ages had more than one button. It just doesn't make any sense.
"Mom, can we get a Nights follow-up?"
"We have Nights follow-up at home"
*Nights follow-up at home:*
I feel so dumb for only now just realising that the characters are called “Balan” and “Lance” because when you put them together, you have Balance
THE REACTION TO BALAN'S REAL FORM LMAO
Can we just all take a minute to appreciate the song at the beginning
The team took so much dedication on singing in pain
Balan was Hisoka this entire time 😐
:o well he does like kids
Ok but lemme tell you guys about Bungee Gum...
"Sonic Unleashed Werehog Syndrome" LMAO.
That beginning was amazing. Lmao
This game's not worth $60,
4:59 so this is where Hisoka has been during HxH’s hiatus
He does look like Hisoka lol
This game hits different even more when they're kids involved in this game. And we know Hisoka is thirsty for Gon 😶
@@yorforger9909 Oh god 👀
I literally misread Balan Wonderworld as "Balan Wonderland" everytime untill I heard someone pronounce it right.

BEARD MODE ENGAGED!
*TACTICAL NUKE I N C O M I N G*
this game sucks. if anyone tries to use the argument that "it's for kids" my niece even said it was bad and went back to playing super mario odyssey.
Me too, I just went back to playing Kirby Star Allies instead
Now, if you excuse me, I have to go back to the spaceship of a certain hat-wearing friend
balan kinda looks like a character deviantart girls would like, kinda like the onceler or the purple guy from super prison
*looks up balan fanart*
...yeah that ended up in the way I was expecting...
Its sad cuz I had alot of hope for this game, of course until I played the demo on switch..if there's ever gonna be a sequal then let's hope it will be better

I totally agree with you on this! I think the cutscenes look gorgeous, and the voice acting seems pretty good (although why wasn't there an English dub?) but it's such a shame it all turned out wrong like this.

You and Sam should do something soon you're both amazing content creators!
That intro (chefs kiss)
10/ for the intro alone
Can we take a moment to say how great the into song was lmao
I'm beginning to see why Naka and Oshima left Sega, more like quit before they got fired. What the hell happened?
‘What if Mario sucked’ - the video game
What if dream suck - the video game
Poor Yuji Naka... I haven't more coments for this game
Amazing Review!
In hindsight Naka kept refusing to let Sega use the Nights engine on anything and threatened to quit anytime they tried to begin production on a Nights sequel, to the point that the second Nights game only happened after Naka left.
Sounds like Naka really doesn't want another Nights to exist.
So he's to blame for why NIGHTS wasn't a full franchise with more than 2.
Well damn
Here from the future Yuji Naka was arrested for insider trading, he’s done for.
This was far more of a musical than the game itself
It would've been hilarious if you edited in the Sonic Unleashed battle theme.
You could buy so many sonic games with 60$ bruh, Nights even
I always come back to this video to hear the MASTERPIECE of a song in the beginning
0:00 in the beginning, great job singing about don't play Balan Wonderworld! That's a way better than diss track!
Well if there's ever a chance for them to make a backstory on Balan some time in the near future, let's hope for the better at least.
I also laughed so hard at your ranting with the song in the very beginning.
Well the game dead, and yuji out from square Enix, the balan company decist to exist. XD
1:01 I always accidentally call it “balan wonderland”
balan's true identity: the joker
That playable Emma looks cute, Balan has a good design for a Nights character, uh....... thats all i can think of
4:59 I also reacted that way. It's like John Carpenter's The Thing assimilated Jared Leto's the Joker. Feels very "we live in a society" to me. Like ... why was there a face reveal at all? That would be like Willy Wonka randomly at the end taking a mask off to reveal another YOUNGER and HOTTER guy for some reason. Zero sense. He was fine the way he was. Feels like the reveal was to attract the people who are into weird BISHIE anime guys, but like ... Balan is 3000 years old and it's gross af.
Also to plug a better and more challenging platformer try Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Much better game, better mechanics and MUCH more of a challenge. :)
Better 3,000 than 15, but the central component of his character design that forms the Balan Company logo (the way Sonic's head is the Sonic Team logo) turning out to be a mask instead of his real head like the Sonic's Head logo ironically perfectly illustrates how Naka and Oshima's Balan Company is a fake new Sonic Team and its flagship title Balan Blunderworld is a Potemkin village.
"Balan is 3000"... then he is a Dilf?
When Balan shows us his true face
Sam: "Oh my god what is that? Put the hat back on!"
Me: "Oh no, he's hot!"
funny thing is, when you are two players, you can manipulate the game and get a double jump, by pressing the jump button after each other. and therefor break the game with certain powerups
Literally the best intro i‘ve ever seen in a review
Same
Honestly, I just like watching the reviews for this game. I find it entertaining.
From what other reviewers had said. The game had Yuji Naka, had no storytelling experience. He read a book that inspired George Lucas to make Star Wars and thought he was a Story telling genius.
Honestly, I could make a better story, but my (self proclaimed), expertise is taking something and just reworking it to make it better (in my opinion). The bare bones story would be there are two people, the boy and the girl. They're friends at school and the boy is aware of the girl's secrete surprise party. It his job to distract her, she's having a bit of a meltdown, because she thinks everyone has forgot about her birthday except him. To distract her, he convinces the girl to sneak in to an old theatre that their friends had been eyeing to explore.
They break in, seeing the portraits of old plays once played at the theatre. While messing around in the theatre, they end up releasing Balan. Balan is a mischievous Loki like character, an anti hero for which the Theatre is named after. He attracts them to the central stage and traps them in his Wonderworld (I would call it Wonderland). Your trapped in an area that resembles an amusement park, but the attractions are missing. To leave you have to enter the portraits fix the world of the play which causes its corresponding attraction to appear in the hub world. Each attraction would give some information about the Theatre and a minigame to power up your character in someway. When you enter a world, you gain access to a costume that corresponds with that world. Each world offers a different costume. To unlock different powers to use in that world, you have to find power ups, or something like that.
Maybe in the squeakquel, Lance Blunderworld?
No matter how bad a game is, if Squeenix thinks they can milk a cash cow, they will.
BEST REVIEW 100/10 AND THAT OPENING SONG OMG LMAAAO , seriously great job sam 👏👏👏I’ve been waiting for this review and it worth all the wait!!! Wish i can give more that one like xD ❤️
I have never seen any of ur videos but after seeing that intro I immediately subscribed
After watching all the streams, I waited for this moment
It's a depressing time to be a NiGHTS fan.
Sonic Lost world has a few nights sequences at least, it's something
5:00 Getting some Orochimaru vibes...that's why it's creepy.
That’s a 10/10 intro song you got for this 😍👌. And I only just noticed this Balan drama just a bit ago 😅.
The intro made me laugh alot lmao
Same here I was literally crying from laughter
Coming back to watch this after Yuji got booted from Square Enix makes this whole fiasco all the funnier.
Man, this game wouldn't be a trainwreck if Naka was smarter with his decisions. I feel like some of these ideas below would have made the game a nicer experience:
- The inventory system should have been removed and costumes from different worlds can't be brought into others. Also, each world should stick to only 3 unique costumes to play with.
That way, the level design for each world would have been focused on fully utilizing those 3 costumes instead of trying to focus on 80+ costumes.
- Remember those human characters disappearing in levels? Well, instead of that, how about allowing players to talk to them. The humans could talk about what they love and give you hints to what their internal problem is, thus allowing you to piece together their problem before the boss cutscene.
- Maybe completing the Tower of Tims could have unlocked certain features/modes, thus making it useful. For example, the tower could have unlocked a sound stage, concept art, some backstory for Balan and Lance (like with Rosalina in Galaxy) or even a minigame mode.
I would list more ideas, but this comment is already getting too long.
That intro tho 🤣 great video btw. Also, every single button is jump?!
I wasn’t gonna buy this game as I was interested in it. But just seeing the reviews and what people had to say about this game made me wanna make sure that I never EVER touch this game, physically or digitally. Great review, Sam!
