OH MY GOD WOW! it actually happened! thank you for doing this!! its so great that someone with such big follow up all over the internet like you slopes gets people the chanse to know obscure jewels like this. Awesome as allways! Im so glad my comment was useful for something!
"the game never made it to american shores." Actually the Snes, game boy, and game boy color, were ported to american. Even a SEGA Channel version was available too.
@@FIXTREME From the sound of it it doesn't sound like that's a version worth getting. I mean I know it doesn't answer your question but still what's the point?!
@@johnny2x484 The GBA version was pretty good actually, what the hell are you talking about? The one not worth getting should be that GBC downgraded port
Man, really thank you for this. Mr Nutz on Genesis is one of my all time favorite games of all time. Those graphics for Genesis were really astonishing, like Comix Zone, for example. If you could do history of Twisted Metal also. Maaaan... The thing is, nobody has made history for Twisted Metal really. I think it would be a big exposure for this channel that way. I am not pushing or pressuring, just some ideas. Love the music in Leisure Suit Larry 7 btw. Really like it a lot.
+Renalds Trakims yes! I 100% agree twisted metal would be on eof my bigger videos when i eventually get to it! Plus i really like the games and im pretty sure i have played them all :) This will happen soon (if i can find enough of an interesting back story that is)
As a US fan of yours, I can honestly say that I love when you make videos about games that failed to make it to our side of the pond. Keep up the good work!
I hate to nitpick, as your videos are generally extremely accurate and entertaining, but Mr. Nutz did get a North American release. I own a copy, and if you do a search on eBay, you'll see plenty of copies for sale. I will say that it is a fairly uncommon game and US copy is a little pricey these days.
I remember reading about Mr Nutz in Sega Power back in the day! It wouldn't be until 2015 that I would finally get my hands on the game! The version I got being the black & white Game Boy version, bought in France while on a day trip there for €6,95 and I will defo get the Mega Drive version and a Mega Drive repro of Mr Nutz 2 as well!
"I remember seeing this on an episode of Gamesmaster back in the day" Literally about to comment the same. That and Games World. It was something of a staple of those two. There were some games that appeared on those shows that I thought were made just for those shows (naive me) since I never saw them anywhere. Only years later did I discover there was more to them.
Oh man! Found my old game boy pocket recently in my drawer with a mr. nutz cartridge in it. I'm playing it right now and I'm having better fun than playing nowadays games - what a nostalgia trip! I thought I'm the only one fan in the world of this title. And after watching this video I wish I could play even better looking versions on SNES or MD some day!
I never actually owned this game, but I played the hell out of it on The SEGA Channel back in the day.. Maybe you can do a history of that, The SEGA Channel that is. I'm willing to bet most people aren't even aware that such a product ever existed in the pre-internet age.
I loved Mr Nutz so much... and played the Amiga game first and then bought the SNES version, witch I liked way more. CarboHydrom did a kick ass cover of the 1-3 level music. Do you think you'll cover the Ishar series or some games from Simaris ? Take care !
No, Mr. Nutz did not have a retail Genesis release here in the US, BUT we did eventually get to play it anyway on SEGA Channel in 1995. That's where I experienced it. We got to try a fair bit of Europe-only Mega Drive games on that service, it was so great.
I'd love to hear the complete history of "Psycho Fox" for the Sega Master System. I loved that game. This Mr. Nutz looks great. I was always a Sega kid, but since only 2 of my friends had a Genesis, I missed certain releases. Never heard of this one, but 2 minutes into your video, and I can tell I'd love it. Thanks! It's icing on the cake that one of the devs is named "Philippe" because that's my name. Serendipity.
i had the gameboy version, loved it, beat it a dozen times. It also influenced my parents to buy conker's bad fur day because they thought it was a sequel.... Thank you Mr. Nutz, I am forever grateful!
Big fan of your editing and visual style. always fantastic coverage of information. I cannot thank you enough for the entertainment you've provided. in case it hasn't been mentioned, I think a history of the Leisure Suit Larry games would be very educational and entertaining. I imagine Al Lowe would be on board for any information requested. thanks again for another amazing video.
The original Mr. Nutz was the best! I don't like that they made him look cooler in the promos and artwork because the squirrel itself is more adorable than that.
You should've shown Philipe's website page link along with his social media. His artwork is amazing, i suggest you guys look at his non mr nutz art which should not be ignored. I would love to see this game series come back even if its stinker of a sequel or a poorly done remake but its kind of hard to make a game for the world that most people dont even know of or may have forgotten about it.
Thanks for making this, I think of Mr. Nutz as "the only good Europlatformer". It looks on the surface like a shitty Zool type game but it's actually quite great. I usually dislike big sprites for platformers but somehow this game manages to have them without feeling imprecise and wonky (and I'm not a DKC fan either). There's a beta version floating around that has slightly different sound effects that in my opinion sound a bit better. On a CRT this game looks really great with all of the bright red colors and dreamy music. Whenever somebody tells me that they hate Europlatformers I tell them to try this game. I never knew it was so hard to come by, I remember picking it up in the store as a kid after seeing it in magazines.
Yes, Mr. Nutz is a really good game. Isn't precisely a europlatformer but, if you want to know a good old extremely hard arcade style eurogame run n' gun, I recommend Nightmare Busters for SNES.
I had Hoppin' Mad as a kid, since I had an Amiga and thanks to some clever software could play PAL games on my NTSC model with no issues. It may not be as good as the SNES game (I wouldn't know, never owned a SNES or genesis) but I still love the music at least.
Random fact aswell the purple Berry enemies from level one on snes had to be changed due to likeness to ribena Berry likeness. I could never understand why mr nutz looked so different on the box art than real game design, his eyes are so different. I really hoped this and quack shot was on the new release of megadrive collection on current generation. Fingers crossed for a download add on for the library
If you're still taking suggestions, I'd really love to see a complete history on Bonk/B.C. Kid/PC Genjin. That has a somewhat big scope of games, including a spinoff mini-series and games that got cancelled or retooled into other games. As it was one of my first exposures to gaming as a whole, I'm sad that the series hasn't got the coverage it so rightfully deserves.
These complete history videos are very addictive. Every so often I try to just watch one, but end up watching 10 or more in a row. I’d like to watch one on D/Enemy Zero or Blue Stinger/ Illbleed games. Maybe even Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Cop.
That one ogre boss that launches his eyes off is basically what I think of when I think of this game. If you want a crazy series to look into for a complete history, could look at whatever series you'd say Quest 64 is from. There's a gameboy color version of the game, AND some other gameboy color game that has nothing to do with Quest 64 other than vaguely featuring characters from it by the name of "Brian's Challenge" or something.
I'm from Canada and have a SNES copy of the game somehow when my cousin passed it down to me many years ago, thought it was only in Europe? Also I love this game, been practicing speed running it for awhile now. Great video!
Oh wow. I remember this game from back when it was new, mostly because of the joke about "Mr Nutz in Woodyland," I had no idea it was actually a legit game with such a crazy backstory.
There's a ton of these forgotten platforming franchises (just like there'll be a tone of forgotten mmorpgs tomorrow) and Mr. Nutz looks really weird and fun. Great choice. My favorite forgotten platforming franchise was Titus' Prehistoric. Only two games there as well but at least the sequel was better than the original in that case. I say was because the frustrating difficulty of said sequel (at least for kids) turned that love into hate eventually. By the way, anyone still remembers the Flair Software's 1992 platformer Trolls? I always thought it was part of the mid-90s hair-tastic troll toys fad but apparently it was its own thing. Yet they look so much like the toys.
I never heard of mr.nutz but that's because I live in the United States I never had access to sega the sega channel and SNES probably was overshadowed by other platformers because according to Wikipedia to SNES Gameboy Gameboy Color was released in North America
Now this is a complete history i can get behind! I love this game, and I'll find myself a physical copy of it eventually. I do own a repro of Mr. Nutz 2 on the Genesis, though- I also don't like the sequel as much as I like the original.
I bought this game when it came out. I was even pretty hyped by it by reading a preview in a French SNES magazine. Rightly so, because it was a really great looking game but for some reason I thought it was a bit too cute and derivative in the end. Ocean France did quite a few good games and arcade ports on the Amiga. Well good for their time, because they must have aged terribly.
Wasnt Mr Nutz based on a character/game from one of those old "phone in" video games from TV show Gamesworld back in the early 90's in the UK-distinctly remember it being a maze game where the player/caller guided Mr Nutz around a maze collecting acorns by pressing the buttons on their phone during the live segments of the show. Seem to recall them making a big deal & hyping the hell out of this game upon its release.
I actualy remember having this on a floppy I think from some random bin. Did end up liking it as a child :) Would definatly like to see you doing Dynamite Headdy soon (after you showing us that it's one of your gems aswel)
actually mr nuts was released in the u.s.! but in rental form block buster rented out snes copies of the game. i bought a copy when they decided to sell them. wish i had that copy today.
Awesome video, Daniel! I know I've said this before, but these are always some of my favorite Complete History videos. A series I've never even heard of, and it turns out to be pretty good. I've always had a soft spot for mascot platformers, so I'm really glad Mr. Nutz will forever hold a spot in my brain, thanks to you.
@@auralunaprettycure Thank you bro, Abother World is pure gold. The intro scene remains impressive today in its direction. Flashback also is in my TOP.
Great video! I never knew about this game but it looks like a very decent 16bits platformer. It's good to know the developers put so much effort into it too. Will you ever talk about the Gradius franchise? I'm a big fan of it and I'm aware that it's a well known franchise, but very few people have bothered to actually take a deep look at it.
because he's probably taken footage from elsewhere, хехе) в конце видео вон снова иначе подписываются жизни (вообще как "nutz" o_O), и даже качество записи другое.. мне если честно ещё больше не по себе, когда я вижу русские бутлэги типа "марио одиссея" на канале SpaceHamster'а и подобных, где они не могут сюжет разобрать.. так непривычно, т.к. обычно ж наоборот всё))
Personally, I would love to see a commentary on the Oddworld series. That would be brilliant. It's such an engrossing world which your forensic detail would be perfect for.
Great vid thanks Dan, this explains a lot!! I'm pretty sure I had a demo/coverdisk of the original game for the Amiga before it got moved to the Super Nintendo/Megadrive. I remember absolutely loving it but having wait AGES for it to come out, only to be completely different when it eventually did. Now I know why. :)
My grandma in Germany buy Gameboy advance in 04/06 Mr nutz and Ice age mu little sister,me and mom playing game every day and everynight,i fell love for Mr. Nutz. Greetings from Serbia 💝🇷🇸🙏🏻 (sorry for bad english)
Not sure if there is much to go on but I would really love to see a complete history of MediEvil. I used to love that game on the Playstation and I could never understand why it never got really big.
And yet it's odd how the design of Mr. Nutz in the game doesn't quite follow the look of the packaging with the character having a yellow cap instead of a streak of hair on top of his head that's colored that florescent yellow/greenish color, let alone his yellow vest that's left out of the cover too.
Oddly, I have heard of this game. Not by conventional means but from what I have seen it looks good. It's weird, as someone's who is from the U.S, it's only been recently I have been hearing about European exclusive games. Truth be told, I like hearing about games like these. :) It sounds very fascinating considering I know most of the popular U.S and Japanese games but not much European stuff around the 3rd and 4th gen. (Hell, two months ago I started to hear and play Turrican which I can tell you is not popular here nor the Amiga itself.) I might consider this game in the future. Overall, nice little history video man. :)
I have memories of another Mr Nutz game. It was on the sky TV show Games World and was called Grab Your Nutz Starring Mr Nutz. It was a top down maze type game. I think it was a phone in game (viewers world call in and give instructions to move the player character). Anyone else remember this or am I crazy?
It's funny you mentioned Zool because I was just thinking of suggesting it to you while watching this video. Also, Klonoa is a good platform franchise. I would love to see you cover that.
Yeah they've always been an interest to me. they were one of the most visible publishers in the early-mid days of the Genesis. I'm not sure what their story was in other parts of the world, but in the US it was quite interesting indeed. They also had some rather interesting advertisements in magazines as well.
No freaking way. You actually did an episode on Mr. Nutz? If I'd known, I'd probably would've made a better comment when I replied to the guy who suggested it, lol. Perhaps someday you can do one for my favorite Capcom franchise, Midnight Wanderers? Naw, that's an even more obscure franchise.
Oh gawd, I hope you only mean Video games... I think it would be a big big challenge to do a full on History of Asterix... There's books, the cartoons and the movies and oh boy...
Great video! I'm dying to see a complete history on Flashback! It's one of my all time favorite! Is there any chance of doing videos base on Ms-DOS games? Or you never played on PC? I'm asking because alongside the Mega Drive it was one of the most magical gaming periods for me with franchises like the Alone in the Dark, Hexen and of course Doom.
Actually this game is is kind of a Cult Classic in the Blind / Mystery Game community , where we try to speed run games without having played them before , It's known for being kinda bad but has some , okay 1, person championing it.
alright, so you've scraped the bottom of the barrel with this game (and others like this one) and it got me wondering if you'll ever get to make a complete history of Aero The Acro-Bat?? from what i understand, people generally seem to dislike it and think it's just another one of those Bubsy/Awesome Possum situations, when in reality those Iguana Entertainment games are so much better! Aero, Zero and Pirates Of Dark Water are amongst my favorite games on the Genesis and it would be great to see you cover them in that style.. no pressure though, i'm sure you have enough topics for future videos already, hehe)
Saying Mr Nutz on snes is better for visuals alo e is a complete injustice... the megadrive controls, hit detection and music/sound fx are so much better. If you can only get 1 copy get the megadrive, it plays better and has better sound effects and has lots of little trinkets that just make the game feel less cheap in gameplay and execution... for a small example. Snes boss battles just continue to play the levels music but the megadrive version you get a boss theme that plays

SNES version was released in the US. I rented it a couple times back in the day.
Exactly! Though, I wonder...was the game only available through rental?
Mr. Nutz literally walked so that Conker could run.
One of my favorite SNES games of all time, Raphaël Gesqua did an amazing job on the music, I absolutely adore the SNES soundtrack
I remember reading about Mr Nutz in Sega Power back in the day! It wouldn't be until 2015 that I would finally get my hands on the game!

Thank's Daniel, Here is the page for the continuation of Mr Nutz 2 facebook.com/MrNutzOfficiel/
+Philippe Dessoly more than welcome so glad u like it
Mr Nutz was released on the SNES in 1994 in the U.S. It's hard to find but we did get a release.
"I remember seeing this on an episode of Gamesmaster back in the day"
Literally about to comment the same. That and Games World. It was something of a staple of those two. There were some games that appeared on those shows that I thought were made just for those shows (naive me) since I never saw them anywhere. Only years later did I discover there was more to them.

Do you think you'll cover the Ishar series or some games from Simaris ? Take care !
Enjoyed that one, Dan. I've never played a Mr. Nutz game! Might have to give the Mega Drive version a bash on the Everdrive.
No, Mr. Nutz did not have a retail Genesis release here in the US, BUT we did eventually get to play it anyway on SEGA Channel in 1995. That's where I experienced it. We got to try a fair bit of Europe-only Mega Drive games on that service, it was so great.
I remember playing this game on Sega Channel. Man o man did that service allow me to play some great hidden treasures!

It also influenced my parents to buy conker's bad fur day because they thought it was a sequel....

There's a beta version floating around that has slightly different sound effects that in my opinion sound a bit better.

I'd love to see a history on Taito. I think they deserve more recognition outside of Space Invaders.
I had Hoppin' Mad as a kid, since I had an Amiga and thanks to some clever software could play PAL games on my NTSC model with no issues. It may not be as good as the SNES game (I wouldn't know, never owned a SNES or genesis) but I still love the music at least.
The gameplay footage stretched to 16:9 is making me cry.
The Emulator filter is worse to me.
That's just on top of it
Yes, black bars please, not stretched footage.
Also, Fade to Black wasn't that bad.
A squirrel could be an amazing character in a modern 2d platformer. Such grace!

Good luck on speed running it!
Mr. Nutz was pants... at least when I played it as a youngster. Might need to give it another shake.
I always thought this guy turned into conkers of conkers bad fur day fame!
That's probably 'cause Conker was originally going to be a 'traditional' cute game character before going down a more... adult route, instead.
That's where I thought the video was going too
he did...rare has spoke on it
That opening with Mario scared me at first XD
Oh wow. I remember this game from back when it was new, mostly because of the joke about "Mr Nutz in Woodyland," I had no idea it was actually a legit game with such a crazy backstory.

I would die for a complete history of mushihimesama Or DondonpachiOr cave games in generalLove your work !!
amazing video as usual , keep up mate
Personally, I would love to see a commentary on the Oddworld series. That would be brilliant. It's such an engrossing world which your forensic detail would be perfect for.
Great vid thanks Dan, this explains a lot!!
I'm pretty sure I had a demo/coverdisk of the original game for the Amiga before it got moved to the Super Nintendo/Megadrive. I remember absolutely loving it but having wait AGES for it to come out, only to be completely different when it eventually did.
Now I know why. :)
Mr. Nutz was eventually released in the US. I managed to play it back then.
My grandma in Germany buy Gameboy advance in 04/06 Mr nutz and Ice age mu little sister,me and mom playing game every day and everynight,i fell love for Mr. Nutz. Greetings from Serbia 💝🇷🇸🙏🏻 (sorry for bad english)
ooh suggestions
legacy of kain doesn't have enough youtube love
All of this!
Did you play Pugsy back in the day? It was a great platform /puzzle game. Plus, it had a 3D intro which blew my mind!
Not sure if there is much to go on but I would really love to see a complete history of MediEvil. I used to love that game on the Playstation and I could never understand why it never got really big.
I personally kinda wish they kept the cutesy Disney style Mr. N had originally.
But then again........😒
*Gets flashback of a certain N64 mascot.*
And yet it's odd how the design of Mr. Nutz in the game doesn't quite follow the look of the packaging with the character having a yellow cap instead of a streak of hair on top of his head that's colored that florescent yellow/greenish color, let alone his yellow vest that's left out of the cover too.
Strange I used to play this on my Amiga
Mr Nutz did release in usa on snes, gb, gbc
however the gbc seems the easiest one to find while the others are rare
If they do the HD Remix of this game w/hand-drawn art then I'd be all over this!
Oddly, I have heard of this game. Not by conventional means but from what I have seen it looks good. It's weird, as someone's who is from the U.S, it's only been recently I have been hearing about European exclusive games. Truth be told, I like hearing about games like these. :)
It sounds very fascinating considering I know most of the popular U.S and Japanese games but not much European stuff around the 3rd and 4th gen. (Hell, two months ago I started to hear and play Turrican which I can tell you is not popular here nor the Amiga itself.) I might consider this game in the future. Overall, nice little history video man. :)
Educate yourself because chance are there are tons of Euro games that are good if not better than American or Japanese ones.
I have memories of another Mr Nutz game. It was on the sky TV show Games World and was called Grab Your Nutz Starring Mr Nutz. It was a top down maze type game. I think it was a phone in game (viewers world call in and give instructions to move the player character).
Anyone else remember this or am I crazy?
Less wrinkly than I expected but great video.
I'd love to see a Taito: The Complete History. There's so much more to this company and its history than Space Invaders... like vodka!
It's funny you mentioned Zool because I was just thinking of suggesting it to you while watching this video. Also, Klonoa is a good platform franchise. I would love to see you cover that.
+Ashmanhead i will defo do klonoa one day. However if uou check my 1st ever vid you will see i already did zool (sorta)
Zool is a classic that should be covered.
Could you do a history of Kunio-Kun?
One of the levels in Mr Nutz is called "woody land". Take form that what you will.
Amazing!!! Thank you for the video.
How about a story on the publisher Renovation and their classic Sega Genesis titles?
Phantasystar77 Renovation is interesting, all of their assets were transffered over to Sunsoft.
Yeah they've always been an interest to me. they were one of the most visible publishers in the early-mid days of the Genesis. I'm not sure what their story was in other parts of the world, but in the US it was quite interesting indeed. They also had some rather interesting advertisements in magazines as well.
Wowzers! You almost gave a good word to a post nes console when comparing versions! Hooray!
No freaking way. You actually did an episode on Mr. Nutz? If I'd known, I'd probably would've made a better comment when I replied to the guy who suggested it, lol.
Perhaps someday you can do one for my favorite Capcom franchise, Midnight Wanderers? Naw, that's an even more obscure franchise.
+CrossoverGameReviews hahaha gonna make the next one slightly less obscure
I'd love to see a Jet Grind Radio/JSRF "complete history"
I think it'll complement your Space Channel 5 and Parappa the Rapper videos quite nicely.
+James Blackwood jet set is defo gonna happen eventually
Oh gawd, I hope you only mean Video games... I think it would be a big big challenge to do a full on History of Asterix... There's books, the cartoons and the movies and oh boy...
Great video! I'm dying to see a complete history on Flashback! It's one of my all time favorite!
Is there any chance of doing videos base on Ms-DOS games? Or you never played on PC? I'm asking because alongside the Mega Drive it was one of the most magical gaming periods for me with franchises like the Alone in the Dark, Hexen and of course Doom.
Actually this game is is kind of a Cult Classic in the Blind / Mystery Game community , where we try to speed run games without having played them before , It's known for being kinda bad but has some , okay 1, person championing it.
alright, so you've scraped the bottom of the barrel with this game (and others like this one) and it got me wondering if you'll ever get to make a complete history of Aero The Acro-Bat?? from what i understand, people generally seem to dislike it and think it's just another one of those Bubsy/Awesome Possum situations, when in reality those Iguana Entertainment games are so much better! Aero, Zero and Pirates Of Dark Water are amongst my favorite games on the Genesis and it would be great to see you cover them in that style.. no pressure though, i'm sure you have enough topics for future videos already, hehe)
Seriously, this game is awesome. Bottom of the barrel???
have you ever thought about reviewing flashback on the Sega genesis?
Could you please do Gex and/or Vectorman?
Saying Mr Nutz on snes is better for visuals alo e is a complete injustice... the megadrive controls, hit detection and music/sound fx are so much better. If you can only get 1 copy get the megadrive, it plays better and has better sound effects and has lots of little trinkets that just make the game feel less cheap in gameplay and execution... for a small example. Snes boss battles just continue to play the levels music but the megadrive version you get a boss theme that plays
I agree.
What about doing the Railroad Tychoon franchise? There is a LOT of things to said :) ...and its my favourite franchise ;)
