Today it's Forgotten and Obscure Capcom Video Games! Things not on Nintendo Switch or PS5 thats for sure. Capcom's VERY long history as a games publisher has given us a ton of games over time, and there's bound to be tons of them lost to time. Here's a handful.

What are some other Capcom games that you think have become "forgotten" with time?
Streetfighter 2010.
I mean, small sprites aside, these are some of the best graphics on the NES...if you ignore the slowdown. It's rare to see this many sprites with more than three colors. Or background tiles that attempt to present an actual aesthetic.
The gameplay's frustrating and cheap until you hit the right groove and realize there's a correct way to solve every level.
By 8-bit standards, that's empowering the player.
It's very much a product of its time, but with way more thought going into it than most action games received. But today, all anyone remembers is that our cyborg Guile cosplayer is supposed to be Ken. And that eleven years ago looked nothing like this.
Saturday Night Slam Masters
Rival Schools
Dino Crisis
Star Gladiator
Viewtiful Joe
Onimusha
Killer7
Codename Viper.... for starters
Anything that's not Monster Hunter, DMC, or Resident Evil. Yes, I know Street Fighter V exists, I stand by my comment.
Crazy enough, the last game you talked about I have all three of the DreamFactory games.
One Piece Mansion - PS1
I legit had a Megaman X: Command Mission poster on my wall I got out of a Nintendo Power or something in junior high, despite never having played a Megaman game in my life up to that point. I just thought the artwork was neat lmao
Tbh, that is the ONLY Megaman in its history of mains and spin-offs that I genuinely, thoroughly enjoy.
It is one of my favorite games.
@@Qwertzalcoatl my condolences
@@sm1th297 Why?
I still go back and listen to the music, Talking Funk is the best track when you're just chillin
I remember playing Chaos Legion like “hope the main character makes it into a Vs. game someday.” And here I am…still waiting…
I remember
But the thing about chaos legion is that I hoped it was like a DMC game but it kind of was and wasn't
Still liked it
But yea you and me both lad
Still waiting for that vs
@nemo pouncey You are absolutely correct!
@nemo pouncey "vs game" usually refers to games like marvel vs capcom or capcom vs tatsunoko, where it's a crossover between two specific entities, usually containing the word "vs" in the title
I feel your pain
to me Chaos Legion is one of those things that you are definitely fond of especially if you have the classic "Edgy Phase" growing up, you just can't bring yourself to hate it but you need to put an effort to appreciate it
By the way, Cadillac vs Dinossaurs was HUGE here in my country, every poor kid who lived near a bar (that usually had arcades in it) knew about this gem.
Argentina?
@@fedetegazo Brasil! Pero lo creo que tambien sea muy famoso en Argentina
Same here! And I'm from Spain
If it matters, Hudson actually developed Mickey Mousecapade, Capcom only published it.
it matters. never let anyone tell you it doesn't. it matters.
They also only did so in the states, it was self published by Hudson in Japan. Same thing happened with the NES port of Snow Bros too.
Is that also what happened with the Zelda Oracle games on Gameboy?
@@hopefulspacepeatako1835 Those are the other way around, developed by Capcom and published by someone else, in this case Nintendo
"Am I still salty about Breath of Fire 6 and Megaman Legends 3? Absolutely."
Same here bro, same here.
Especially with the former.
Hopefully we get a re-release and translation of BoF6. Probably be waiting 30 years though.
Ive been missing BoF so dang much I'm even starting to appreciate 5 more and more these days
@@adriangonzalez3600 That sounds like an achievement XD
Your profile picture is so cool!
Me with the latter.
We haven't forgotten these games, Capcom has!
God I miss that intro theme. Also Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was my jam. Still love how picking up food with Hannah and she says "Delicious"
I’m not sure if this is true of every game company or not, but I noticed Capcom has a habit of sweeping things that only did okay under the rug and pretending they never happened. Like DMC2 and all the bad RE games (or any of these)
@@sigh824 it's true of every company. Capcom is at least right to do this; many games of theirs outside the big four don't sell well. Meanwhile every Nintendo game sells millions, yet it took them like 15 years to make a new Metroid lol, and there hasn't been any new F-Zero or Star Fox games in years....
I don't think I disliked any of these games mentioned & I have played them all except Under the Skin. Really would love a Megaman X Command Mission remaster with a reduced encounter rate & adjusted difficulty.
I picked it back up last year and had to stop because you literally couldn't go ten steps without a fight. At least X gets really overpowered fast.
I loved Command Mission, but remember being turned off by the encounter speed a bit.
Even the Spawn one?
@@CoronaMobius There's a really dumb way to get less encounters: you walk. Yes, they made it so that walking has a lowered encounter rate compared to running. It's explained somewhere as drawing more attention with your footsteps, I think?
Ayyy, game maker studio! I do't use it for my commercial games, but I spent nearly a decade prototyping around in Game Maker since high school. Great program.
Command Mission has always been one of my favorite games in the X series. Actually just played it last year for the first time again in about 10 years. Its aged surprisingly well.
Yeah I agree Chaos Legion is pretty bland, but it was and still is one of my favorite games for ps2. Also, you get to play as the female after you beat the game, and she plays totally different, uses guns instead of Legions, plays through different stages, and adds a few new cutscenes. I never knew it was based on a real book/manga!
I still liked it a lot despite it's obvious lack of combat ability compare to devil may cry.
If they made another one it would be fantastic as it'd basically be playing the love child of DMC and Persona lol
The manga released shortly AFTER the game, not before it.
You forgot about Star Gladiator, Capcom's first original 3D fighter that was supposed to be a Star Wars game.
I was waiting to hear about the sequel on dreamcast, plasma sword.
I'm surprised Beat down Fists of Vengeance wasnt in this video. It seems like a very Austin type of game. Its when Capcom tried to make their own Yakuza or GTA clone on the PS2 its pretty weird and kinda interesting.
I think it is a worthy game compared with the ugly Final Fight Revenge.
And it deserved not only a re-release but also, a Remake/Remaster too.
If you’re looking for forgotten Capcom gems, look no further than Gotcha Force.
Love to see you cover it if you do another one of these, loved this one.
you know PN03 was forgotten when it wasn't even an honorable mention in the forgotten games category
right? forgotten and underrated as hell....
...meanwhile I'm over here hoping to see Vanessa Z Schneider return in a sequel as well as being a fighter in a hopeful Marvel Vs Capcom 4 and at least a Spirit in Smash...
The history behind the development of it was really interesting too as it was supposed to be a part of 5 exclusive games for the gamecube.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom_Five
At least it got a Spiritual Successor in the form of Vanquish with the same director, while none of the games in this video had one. Except for Spawn.
If I forgot something, please let me know.
The main character is cool, but as the biggest Capcom superfan ever, the gameplay is just....yuck
Spawn in the Demon's Hand is awesome.
It just takes a while to get a hang of the system.
Same with Heavy Metal Geomatrix 😅
Geomatrix was the only Dreamcast game I paid full price for. Between the Simon Bisley artwork, the soundtrack and the full price only being $30, I had to get a copy.
More games need a “gamer” difficulty setting.
What would a gamer mode consist of? Doritos and Mountain Dew as health recovery, and 13-year-olds screaming racial slurs as a way to hurt your enemies?
Imagine typing your comment unironically.
And if you beat it you unlock "True Epic Gamer" Difficulty
Nah,"journalist" mode is better
@@cannibalisticrequiem that's sounds cool
"The guy who wrote seasons 2 and 3 of Psycho-Pass."
Oh, that explains a lot then.
Oh no! Does Psycho-Pass suck at one point?! I always wanted to watch and binge that one day... GoT, One Punch Man, Dexter...
@@Qwertzalcoatl Season 1 is very good imo, even if it has some issues, but season 2 and 3 they completely dropped the ball since they didn’t really know how to continue the story. That and just having overall terrible writing with new characters that aren’t even half as interesting as the previous ones.
@Janeiro I Hack writer how? You can’t just be like “heh, hack writer amirite” and not elaborate any further.
The guy isn’t perfect, since I still have issues with Psycho-Pass season 1, but it was still leagues better than the later seasons. And he’s written some of my favorite anime like Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero, which definitely wouldn’t be able to come from a hack.
@Janeiro I "He's an overrated hack writer who doesn't deserve any of his popularity" ''
Yeah that you just makes you sound like a whiny brat. Grow up.
@Janeiro I Okay then, I think I rather pass on the whole thing. I'm a completionist and I am done shit shows that's waiting to happen.
My man!! The Dreamcast!! I have so many memories with streetfighter 3rd strike had some of the best gameplay mechanics introduced! Getting good at parrying was insane! Like me and my buddy got to the point it was like watching DBZ lmao!! Same with project Justice!! Still my favourite 3D fighter of all time! Still have my original copy! And it’s funny I played tons of spawn on Dreamcast back in the day and loved the graphics at the time and had fun with the game, doesn’t hold up today! But honestly when I think Dreamcast I do think Capcom and Shenmue and Sonic adventure lol
That’s by design: lots of Capcom games are disposable IPs so they can test technology and mechanics without tarnishing the real IP. They are rather careful about risking beloved IPs….well…sometimes.
I always watch your videos when I'm cooking or washing the dishes. You're a good company, Austin. Cheers.
Great video as always! I would like to see you talk about Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance because it felt very much like a game of its time like the localization of the first Yakuza game.
Capcom still did MegaMan Legends 3 dirty.
Never getting over the pain!
And where is Megaman now after 11? Starting to sound like it was only made to give Mighty No. 9 the finger.
Funnily enough, Under the Skin actually had a movie adaptation years and years later in 2013 with Scarlet Johansson as the lead. It even shares the same name, look it up.
Hahaha! Nice one!
Had no idea Chaos Legion was based off a novel lol. Your videos are always full of great info.
"blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne"
Wait just a gosh darn minute, your telling me there's a cadillacs and dinosaurs game! I love thoose comics!!
Their Disney licensed platformer games were awesome back in the day. Still hoping one day they'll re-release their Aladdin and Disney's Magical Quest trilogy from the SNES days one day
Wait so Little Nemo consists of a young child, going into a dream world and using various critters as costumes...
So, what you're telling me, is that it was the spiritual predecessor to Balan Wonderworld?
And now I know the name of it! It was part of a 172-in-one GBA cartridge I had once but I only just dug out this memory of feeding frogs candy before turning into the frog and bouncing around. Made no sense to me.
Now I know the name of it I can go researching!
And now I'm even more intrigued in BW that I already should have been because of NiGHTS XD
Little Nemo was my favorite nes game back in the day. The music, the transformation into critters and the art style…….low key that’s one of the reasons I stuck with Balan and beaten it on my ps5…..it had little Nemo vibes….. I kinda like balan……..it’s with shame that I admit that 😔 BUT it is what it is 🤷♂️
I am so impressed that you are able to put out such long and interesting videos so consistently. My hat is off to you.
Also you hit me right in the 2006 with that Hawthorne Heights AMV ref. WOOF.
Sees Megaman X: Command Mission.
Clicks immediately.
Great vid.
P.N.03 - I had a wonderful time with this game and it really feels forgotten.
Holy crap I completely forgot about P.N. 03. I remember playing it for a little bit at a gamecube kiosk at an EB Games once and never saw or heard about it since. I now have to see if I can find a copy of the game to finally play through it.
Make sure y'all listen to the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs arcade OST. It's realllllllllll good.
Cadillacs, AVP, and final fight.
Capcoms belt-action holy trinity 🙏
Always surprised to see someone bring up Chaos Legion. When it came out I loved it, I still listen to the soundtrack lol. I had always hoped they made a sequel to polish the gameplay.
I see you're playing the PS2 version of Command Mission, would you believe the GameCube version has an even higher encounter rate for some reason? But it has the advantage of looking better, loading battles faster, and the Treasure Radar where you can use a GBA to find stuff
So many battles
Breath of Fire 4 -- one of the best PS1 JRPGs. And, btw, those graphics amazing even nowadays, (recently completed the playthrough again) and it's no wonder -- because ALL THE SPRITES AND ANIMATIONS WAS HAND-DRAWN (as devs stated)! Such a shame that they f*cked it up with BoF6.
for real, Breath of fire always had its charm, even if it was eclipsed by other major titles like the final fantasy games, i played and finished Tales of arise last week, and it had me thinking, what if Breath of fire was made with this game and graphic philosophy in mind? if only i was good with editing or computers altogether, maybe i could do it myself.
I still want a HD remaster of Power Stone and Power Stone 2. It would print money on the Switch. And I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels bad about MML3.
i stuck with the psp collection
A thousand times this. I'd genuinely sell my spare kidney to get those or a full-on sequel!
Some facts.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was hugely popular in Brazil, I grew up with it. Unfortunately there's no such thing as arcades in Brazil anymore, but I still play it on emulators every now and then, and it is the best beat em up I ever played.
I actually played Command Mission though while very basic it was a decent game. Kind of odd there was no mention of Sigma which was a nice change for a X game
8:00 Ah, I can just hear the unforgettable "GO! GO! GO!"
Gotcha Force for the GameCube is the name that comes to mind when talking about forgotten, obscure Capcom stuff. An Robot Arena fighter like Gundam Extreme VS., with a cute artstyle, customization like Custom Robo... a shame they forgot to print enough copies of the game, and now it costs as much as a console...
Still kicking myself. I saw it once for 30 dollars as a kid. I let it pass hoping I'd see it again for less. (I didn't) Inreally would have had a lot of fun with that one at that age. Shame!
This topic alone brought up some feelings. OHHHH that capcom intro tune!! Why do you play with my emotions.
Me seeing a breath of fire costume in SFV. *sobbing noises*
Haunting ground costume in SFV. *sobbing intensifies*
I adore Under The Skin, I played a demo of it on a demo disk (remember THOSE things?) and I was hooked. The gameplay loop of pulling pranks and dodging the fallout of your own mayhem, getting a new disguise, repeating, and having to deal with panic time was AWESOME! It even made a really fun co-op or vs game if you could get someone to actually give it a shot! Nothing better than the big WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON from a buddy when you drop a giant burger on their head.
Crimson Tears was my first PS2 game! I remember it blowing my mind at the time with the graphics and the gameplay, lol. Doesn't hold up too well, though. I bought it again a couple years ago and couldn't see the magic I did back then!
Oh I totally played the dinosaur game as a kid at an arcade. The coolest thing is when you put another quarter in, your character comes back in a car, runs over a bunch of enemies, and you jump out like a badass. And I was also a quarter poorer.
Oh, man, I have literally never heard anyone say Sweet Home was a better movie than it was a game. I actually had to rewind the vid a little to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding you. I mean, the movie's okay..ish. Some decent practical effects, anyway. The game is a trailblazer, though, and still mesmerizing to find your way through today.
The movie looks like shit but Westerners tend to give it a pass because "foreign".
I think its more fun. Sweet Home the game is innovative for sure but these days it's more a novelty in my eyes. The movie is a very laughably fun b horror movie.
Are they even related?
@@Qwertzalcoatl it's actualy made by a great japanese director, kiyoshi kurosawa of "pulse" fame, so it is a pretty decent film overall!
I absolutely love bof 3, the dragon gene system was sweet!
Glad to have found your channel subbed before the video was even half way done. This is quality content!
Glad I met you. I've gotten to really enjoy your videos... and of course, there are SO many I haven't seen.
Damn, I fucking love spawn in demons hand. Used to play it at the arcade all the time. Been wanting a reproduction copy for awhile so I can experience it again.
I always felt like astral chain is what chaos legion would of been good if it was yknow ... good
Think there will ever be a sequel to Astral Chain.
@@GamerBoy870 pretty sure platinum have stated they had plans for sequels
It does have a very season 1 of an anime vibe too it too
@@Kraftium can't wait fot season 2
As Liam's last LP with Super Best Friends, I will never forget Command Mission
Really? I considered the "last LP" to be Sonic Unleashed. I forgotten Command Mission was that close to it.
Yessss, Tech Romancer love! I rented that game so much. Needs a revival. Also, never knew Spawn was a Capcom game. Friend let me borrow that for months on end. Lots of good memories.
11:08 Look at this lad using a Zeta Gundam clip like we wouldn't notice! Good taste.
Wait, YOU ACKNOWLEDGED THE MAZINKAISER!?!? AWESOME!
One of my favorite things about X Command Mission is that it's almost a secret Gundam Voice Actor reunion.
You got Domon Kasshu as Megaman
Paptimus Scirocco as Spider
Kackricon Cooler as Chief R
Four Murasame as Marino
Roberto as Botos
Apolly/George de Sand as (Additional Voices)
Fa Yuiry as Nana
Johnny fuckin Ridden as Zero
Elpeo Puru as Cinnemon
Captain Henken/Master Asia as Epsilon
Jamaican Danninghan/Chibodee Crocket as Dr. Psyche/Incentas
and Bask Om as Steel Massimo
The misadventures of Tron Bonne is pretty forgotten. A spin-off of a spin-off with a Servbot Chao garden? What more could you want?
I will go as far as to say I would have enjoyed the game more if there was a way to replay areas without having to go through the game again.
Great video always great to find new Capcom games I never see people talk about!!
That 90s Cadillacs and dinosaurs cartoon is a real hidden gem. It's almost as good as Batman the Animated series.
Good shit, man! Couple awesome games I had mostly forgotten about.
Also, the best(?) thing about Chaos Legion was that, despite having a big-ass sword and the ability to SUMMON DEMONS to hit dudes with, the single best option in every scenario is to use Zieg’s ungodly powerful…shoulder check 😂 I hope there’s a video somewhere out there.
This is my absolute favorite channel right now.
I remember Little Nemo being kinda confusing because the manual told you how to use the the magic wand but although your sprite carried the wand from the start you could not use it before the final nightmare stages. But it was one of these games were beating the final boss gave you the satisfaction to have mastered some big challenge.
The voice of Domon, Mark Gatha, was also the voice of X in MegaMan Maverick Hunter X
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME THAT UN SQUADRON EXISTED! I forgot all about that game and my uncle and I used to play it all the time together.
Fuck I miss being a kid.
Cadillac and Dinosaurs was huge in Puerto Rico. The cartoon, comics, toys. This was just as big as Saint Seiya.
I remember Spawn the arcade game by Capcom. It was also a multiplayer coop mode that lets you and 3 of your friends fight the boss characters. Playing the arcade game alone is futile since you will end up spending so much credit. The game was pretty much made to be enjoyed with friends. - weather beat each other up or go coop.
That spawn game was legendary but you are right it needed to be played with friends. It's the only way it was fun.
I absolutely adore Command Mission, despite all of the flaws. There's just so much to love. And the soundtrack is incredible!
Lil Nemo isn't forgotten to me I'm 42 but I love this video so much! Great first impression I'm subscribed and excited for more!
Man, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is pretty big in Brazil. Anyone who grew up with arcades remembers it fondly.
Spawn: in the Demon's Hand is one of my favorite Dreamcast games. So many memories playing co-op with my brother, unlocking every piece of artwork, character, and "weapon" in the game. "DESTROY YOUR ENEMY... NOW!"
Under The Skin was so much fun. It was one of a handful of little oddities I enjoyed around that time. Alien Hominid and Freak Out/Stretch Panic, being a couple more examples.
New Austin Eruption video? I'm hype
as a kid I've played Chaos Legion many times, I love that game to death, maybe I'm weird
Always nice to see someone remember Tech Romancer, such a love letter to Mecha anime that they even got Shuichi Ikeda (Char Aznable) as Shadow Red, the Masked guy in the Red Mecha.
16:46 Oh yeah, I remember that from the end credits! Surprised the fuck outta me. What didn't surprise me was that Mardock Scramble was trash and Pscyho-Pass was brilliant.
Happy ive been able to play all of these as they released, Capcom and Sega gave me the best gaming memories.
My older brother got Chaos Legion back in middle school. He actually did dress like that, spot on.
I'm upset about how hard that Hawthorne Heights joke got me. Also, the rest of the video is great
I know Capcom from the Phoenix Wright series, cool to hear they did other stuff as well...
Another forgotten Capcom game I think it deserves a mention is Shadows of Rome. It had a pretty unique blend of styles as you play as two different characters, one for the hack 'n' slashing in the arena and another one for the stealth missions. The premise was unique too, since it's the first Japanese-developed title I've ever heard of to be setted in the Roman Empire age.
Dude I loved Command Mission so much thanks for showing it. I am sad that it will be never be remastered but maybe that's a good thing.
The way I discovered Little Nemo was so weird. Back in the early 2000s I couldn't find any copies of pokemon silver, having just finished Pokemon sapphire I wanted to go back and play the one I missed. There was a seller on ebay selling a "gameboy advance" version for like 15 bucks, so I scooped it up thinking cool they did a widescreen version or something. Here the game was a sprite swap hack of little nemo dreammaster. I remember being pretty disappointed I didn't get a real copy of pokemon silver, but didn't have much else to play at the time so kept playing it, and really enjoying it. Years later I found it was a real game and picked it up for NES when I started collecting older games. Still find it odd I didn't realize it was Little Nemo earlier, as we had the VHS of the movie. Great game though.
Austin is looking more and more like a dad in every episode.
Side note: Thanks for having an ad on something I've never seen before! So much better than the ten millionth ray con ad.
I grew up with Little Nemo as a kid and could never finish climbing that tree in the 2nd level lmao I treasure that game though
I used to say "eat my fuckin candy" when getting animals
The Breath of Fire 3 music at that start really hits home..
I LOVED Little Nemo as a kid!!!! Didn't even know it was an existing property, but the game was truly dope.
In Brazil, cadillac and dinosaurs is one of the most famous arcade games (after the fighting games), so it's pretty well know arround here.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was pretty popular in Brazil, it was one of the most common games you could find in any arcade, along with a version of King of Fighters/Street Fighter in the 90s/00s, haha
My small town happened to have a Cadillac v Dinosaurs cabinet and I am so glad it id. The dashing mechanics along with 3 player co-op made the game quite an experience that I will never forget.
Oddly enough, the Cadillac can only be used on one level and never returns as a gameplay element ever again.
Super cool video Austin! You've got mad "dude from Blue's Clues" energy today.
Y'know I absolutely loved that Spawn game when I was younger on the dreamcast.
I would play it relentlessly and unlocked absolutely everything in that game lol.
I loved my dreamcast...
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, AvP, and Final Fight. Capcoms holy trinity of Beat'em ups.
(Honorable mentions: Shadow over mystara, knights of the round, and Captain Commando)
I never imagined I'd hear the name Little Nemo. I loved that movie growing up! Surprised to learn it even has an entry on MAL. I mostly love Capcom for Mega Man and Viewtiful Joe, but maybe after starting Devil May Cry I'll have a new favorite Capcom. Very entertaining vid!
Chaos Legion: "There's the blueprint for something cool here."
Astral Chain. It was Astral Chain.
Just remember, the guy who started Dream Factory also played critical roles in Virtua Fighter, Tekken and DOA
The Little Nemo one is very strange since the Little Nemo comics themselves are very much in the public doman.
Enjoying your videos. Thanks for this.
you know i've been trying to figure out what that movie from my childhood was now i know it was dream master.
I had little nemo as a kid and discovered Cadillacs and Dinosaurs on MAME. The others were all new to me. Great vid!
Dude, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was (and kind of still is) big in Brazil!
I was shocked to find out it wasn't overseas
