I imported Gamera 2000 on a whim this year after watching some dumb long UA-cam documentary on the kaiju. Epic buried gem of a game. Really happy to see someone else enjoy it as much as I did.
Trivia for Motor Toon Grandprix: the artist Susumu Matsushita also designed the Famitsu mascot Necky the Fox. (who also appeared in Mario Maker as a mystery mushroom costume). the look of the title screen+box art really gave off that vibe of his design style.
Wow, the wheel has provided BIG time this episode. IS looks amazing and speaks to me as, like you, I'm a huge Rez fan. If I ever get my arse around emulation that might be my first pick. And Gamera 2000 looks special in a Resident Evil voice acting way. Plus who doesnt love a Panzer Dragoon clone? Fantastic episode Sean, look forward to seeing what you're cooking next.
Between this series and the obscure ps1 games, I have been inspired to dive down the rabbit hole of legally purchasing all the games and totally not resorting to piracy and emulation.......
Gamera 2000 was one of the first games I ever emulated. I’ve always loved Gamera since I was very little. When I saw screenshots of this game on tumblr years ago I knew I had to play it. You hit on all the points of why I utterly love this game. The graphics, OST and controls are peak and it was everything I wanted it to be. The OST in particular is in my top game OSTs ever and I revisit it frequently. It’s by a group called Zuntata and I need to seek out their other stuff
ZUNTATA!? Well no wonder it sounds like Darius!😅 But I thought that Zuntata only made music for Taito since they're Taito's in-house band. Any other non-Taito games they've worked on?
Praise the wheel! Awesome work Sean! 20:10 That... that's really Patrick Harlan. I don't watch much tv, but I remember catching him occasionally doing commentary on news bits over here. And mentioning Omega Boost, damn, that game had such an awesome intro. The cutting edge FMV with live action, the music! PD making Feeder part of my teenage years, gaddamn, the nostalgia washes over me (●'◡'●)
iS: Internal Section is a game I'm surprised never came out on PAL Regions; its design, music, aesthetic and gameplay all blend in with Europe's techno and rave scenes, the demoscene, the legacy of Tempest and its ilk... Quite strange, really, even for the late release date it shipped in. It also reminds me a bit of Rez.
Going to order a copy of I.S. now, don't know how I missed this. I have a decent music CD collection so being able to play the game with those is also a big deal to me. Thanks for doing this series, found several games worth playing so far from these.
Gamera 2000 is no joke probably my most replayed PS1 games ever (the runtime helps ofcourse), there are actually some slight differences playing the different difficulty modes eg more obstacles, bosses will do attacks you won't see on easy mode etc and family mode is a mode is a 2 players mode, one controls gamera and the other controls the ship if I recall correctly. Also thanks to you I discovered one of my favourite Kaiju films basically has a techno dub, many thanks!
I was worried with the runtime being shorter than your usual video but what a banger of a video. Every game here I’m downloading. Gamera looks freaking wild. I feel like Motor Toon Gran Prix might have made it into must play in an episode with a more dire selection but was bumped out by comparison of the selection lol
Praise the wheel \o/ loving the wheel videos, i really enjoy seeing the weirder and obscure side of video game libraries and these are some of the best videos on youtube about it!
The Omega Boost hype though. Seriously a FANTASTIC game! Sean Seanson hybrid video, Forgotten Gems but only Polyphony games lol(counting Tourist Trophy)
I wasn't prepared for anything that happens from 18:20 onward - I had to put down my coffee mug or else I'd hurt myself with it while laughing at the escalation of crazyness
iS just needs a remaster with some VR and it's good to go. The untextured polygons are such a good look. I wish more PSX games had tried it. I love Zuntata's Gamera soundtrack. Such great composers. Kinda funny it ended up being a Panzer Dragoon clone, considering that Omega Boost was made by the PD designer.
Rez Infinite sold me on VR and its probably still my fav VR title. iS would be a perfect fit. I'm looking forward to inevitably covering Omega Boost at some point, gonna spend way to long talking about the opening 😅
GIANT KAIJU PANZER DRAGOON! How am I only learning about Gamera 2000 now?! There is nothing in that description that is not 100% in my wheelhouse! I need to play this as soon as I can... Also, because iS looks so much like Rez, I decided to try finding out more about Positron, the devs... and there is next to nothing out there. People acknowledge its existence, but I cannot find any mention of anyone who worked there, or any games that they made that weren't iS. Also also, Omega Boost appears as more than just a name on the wheel! (the glorious, glorious wheel...)
I had the same thoughts, how could I have possibly missed out on Kaiju Panzer Dragoon this whole time?! Omega Boost is just patiently waiting for its time. It'll happen... wheel or not.
Man, I love that Killer 7-esque voice modulation on when that dude said "Internal Section" on the title screen. Do they use voice clips modified in that same way whenever you reach a new stage, or phase of a stage as well?
Oh man, where has Gamera 2000 been ALL MY LIFE. I knew about the title, always thought it's a shmup and when people told me it isn't, I suddenly wasn't interested anymore. What a wasted opportunity. :O
Hope you cover Remote Control Dandy, which recently has an English patch! Also recommend Crisis City, a manic PS1 3rd person shooter with pre-rendered background.
I actually just got the patched version, hoping to try it soon. Might be worth bypassing the wheel and just doing a stand alone on it, seems really cool! I'll check out Crisis City too, looks right up my alley!
@@SeanSeanson Regarding Remote Control Dandy; It's a rather long game, about(50 levels), has a lot of cutscenes and you'll need some time to adapt to the awkward unique control scheme.
iS looks absolutely fantastic and in its basic concept and geometry based visual design reminds me of 15 years old free to play tunnel shooter on PC called Torus Trooper by a Japanese one man developer "studio" who also made a bunch of other free to play games with minimalist visuals.
Tough question! Gamera is an excellent rail shooter, but iS: internal section really is this perfect combination of aesthetic and gameplay, I really think it 's one of the consoles most impressive games. Both are excellent though, two games I'll definately revist in the future.
FYI in case nobody pointed it out, the blonde guy at 18:33 looks a lot like Reuben Langdon, Dante and Ken's VA from dmc and street fighter. I was NOT expecting to see him in this series.
i will never be able to get over how u pronounce anything with a “th” sound. as american it breaks my brain. when u say “third” but it sounds like “turd” i lose it i’m sorry
Gotta have the format in there for the newcomers so they don't get lost, it's for the good of the people. Dun worry I'll add chapters so it'll be easier to skip in future. Appreciate you watching all the same
I have never agreed with a concept as much as Gamera 2000. Praise The Wheel and its faithful acolyte Sean Seanson.
That Manga Entertainment logo on the Gamera movie. Love all their insane 90s anime dubs.
Gamera 2000 seems like an instant classic. Our lives have been lacking till this point. Thank you.

Years ago when I had to ride the train for hours every day, the Gamera 2000 soundtrack was among the game soundtracks I've listened to dozens of times
Gamera 2000, I love that game. Owned it back when I owned and ran my own video game retail store. Ah, memories.
Praise the Wheel for unleashing Gamera 2000 into the world again.
Never been a rail shooter guy, but as a Kaiju guy Gamera looks 10/10
Holy crap, Internal Section looks amazing - it's like Tempest 2000 mixed with Rez.
Wow, the wheel has provided BIG time this episode.
IS looks amazing and speaks to me as, like you, I'm a huge Rez fan. If I ever get my arse around emulation that might be my first pick.
And Gamera 2000 looks special in a Resident Evil voice acting way. Plus who doesnt love a Panzer Dragoon clone?
Fantastic episode Sean, look forward to seeing what you're cooking next.
Figured you might dig a few the games this episode, we got lucky this time!
Thanks for wathcing man :)

Woah Gamera 2000 looks rad! So many forgotten games out there. Thanks for creating a series that brings more attention to lesser known games.
Praise the wheel! Awesome work Sean!

I would not play these games but still, watching from here and listening to your comments are very enjoyable for me.
Glad you enjoy it, thanks for watching :)

babe wake up new sean seanson video

Thanks for doing this series, found several games worth playing so far from these.
Today I learned that I needed Gamera 2000 at all costs.
Gamera 2000 is no joke probably my most replayed PS1 games ever (the runtime helps ofcourse), there are actually some slight differences playing the different difficulty modes eg more obstacles, bosses will do attacks you won't see on easy mode etc and family mode is a mode is a 2 players mode, one controls gamera and the other controls the ship if I recall correctly.
Also thanks to you I discovered one of my favourite Kaiju films basically has a techno dub, many thanks!
A person of taste and culture I see
I was worried with the runtime being shorter than your usual video but what a banger of a video. Every game here I’m downloading. Gamera looks freaking wild. I feel like Motor Toon Gran Prix might have made it into must play in an episode with a more dire selection but was bumped out by comparison of the selection lol
This is still probably my favourite selection of games in any of these videos. Gamera and Internal Section are two of the outright best!
Praise the wheel \o/ loving the wheel videos, i really enjoy seeing the weirder and obscure side of video game libraries and these are some of the best videos on youtube about it!
Never seen Motor Toon Grand Prix before, love how the Captain Rock racer is just the car from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
The Omega Boost hype though. Seriously a FANTASTIC game! Sean Seanson hybrid video, Forgotten Gems but only Polyphony games lol(counting Tourist Trophy)

Gamera 2000 looks so cool! What the heck!
God damn, iS and Gamera 2000 look AMAZING! Hands down, will play both asap.
The wheel provided well this time !
thanks to the video what try out iS: internal section and Gamera 2000
Glad you enjoy the videos friend! Thanks for watching :)
yet again we have a amazing video thanks to you im going to check out all theses games
GIANT KAIJU PANZER DRAGOON! How am I only learning about Gamera 2000 now?! There is nothing in that description that is not 100% in my wheelhouse! I need to play this as soon as I can...

Omega Boost is just patiently waiting for its time. It'll happen... wheel or not.
Been waiting on this one, can't wait to watch. You have been on point with the uploads.
Every time I finish a video, I feel the urge to go straight back in 😅
Thanks for watching :)
@@SeanSeanson Well you have me hooked on the series man. Love the aesthetic/music and your review style.
Wow, IS: Internal Section and Gamera 2000 look awesome, praise the glorious wheel
The wheel is kind
The wheel provided so generously this time!
Still probably my favourite line up of games so far!
Man, I love that Killer 7-esque voice modulation on when that dude said "Internal Section" on the title screen. Do they use voice clips modified in that same way whenever you reach a new stage, or phase of a stage as well?
oh you bet it does!
I love these videos
Oh man, where has Gamera 2000 been ALL MY LIFE. I knew about the title, always thought it's a shmup and when people told me it isn't, I suddenly wasn't interested anymore. What a wasted opportunity. :O

21:46 Wow from a quick glance that's almost a 1/1 copy of Zwei's level 3.
I just love to watch you youtube channel
Always good to see you pop by! Hope you enjoy :)
1010% confirmed Gamera2000 fan now. Praise the wheel
iS looks absolutely fantastic and in its basic concept and geometry based visual design reminds me of 15 years old free to play tunnel shooter on PC called Torus Trooper by a Japanese one man developer "studio" who also made a bunch of other free to play games with minimalist visuals.
I checked out Torus Trooper and I absolutely see what you mean. Looks crazy fast, great music too!
Gasping at Gamera 2000. Odin's ravens.
in your opinion which game did you enjoy more Gamera 2000 or iS: internal section
Tough question!
Gamera is an excellent rail shooter, but iS: internal section really is this perfect combination of aesthetic and gameplay, I really think it 's one of the consoles most impressive games.
Both are excellent though, two games I'll definately revist in the future.
I wonder if Internal Section was an inspiration to REZ tbh.
0:44 Whats that game?
Pop'N Tanks!
@@SeanSeanson Really love your content, Sean. ^_^
@@CrismasterXD thanks friend! ^^
Hope to see Ore No Ryouri on the next
Me too! I've only tried a demo of it but I'm looking forward to cutting more vegetables in the future :)
Anyone know what the game is at 0:42 ?
Twilight Syndrome :)
@@SeanSeanson Thanks! I've been loving the videos
@@davissprague2797 Glad to hear, appreciate you watching!
What's the game at 00:04?
It's called FantaStep :)
@@SeanSeanson thanks. It looks so weird.
Gamera is really neat Gamera is full of meat we all love Gamera. *GAMERA!*
iS could get released today and it wouldn't look outdated
FYI in case nobody pointed it out, the blonde guy at 18:33 looks a lot like Reuben Langdon, Dante and Ken's VA from dmc and street fighter. I was NOT expecting to see him in this series.
Whoa really? Thats wild!
@@SeanSeanson Yup. Check the credits, he's credited as the second soldier in the cast of characters.
Why is gamera 2000 in English?????
Excellent series UA-cam should be ashamed for promoting trash and let these types of videos accumulate dust.
I am internally sectioned
im here first
The creator of Omega Boost is actually the first trans game developer ever.
i will never be able to get over how u pronounce anything with a “th” sound. as american it breaks my brain. when u say “third” but it sounds like “turd” i lose it i’m sorry
hey if it makes people laugh then at least something positive is coming from it :)
A little less intro and little more about the actual games would be cool
Videos been out about 2 minutes, I'm sorry you can't bear more than 60 seconds of an opening 😂
@@SeanSeanson Lol, I was basing my comment on the previous videos
Gotta have the format in there for the newcomers so they don't get lost, it's for the good of the people.
Dun worry I'll add chapters so it'll be easier to skip in future. Appreciate you watching all the same
@@SeanSeanson Thank you sir
