    I will never forget the weeks prior to the launch of GWIMBLY 1. The whole company was on edge, devs crunching day and night. Tony got married in his cubicle so he could continue fixing the stage 3 bugs during the festivities. He was one hell of a coder.

    Honestly, Gwimbly is one of the goats of early platformers. I wish theyd bring it back. We need the Gwimbly 1&2 remaster. Or at least some way to play it officially.

    Gwimbly 3 was my personal favorite, the Gwimbly gun really stepped up the gameplay.

      Yeah, but the emulators nowadays are kind of shit for it. It’s just not made for modern systems and doesn’t always adapt well. Which sucks because it’s such a good game.

    This is a suprising well researched video, i hope this blows up!
    I think one you forgot to mention was that the Gwimbly gun was actually an idea requested by fans. They kept sending fanart to IGBG of Mr.Millipede with guns, at a time where gaming companies were quite out of touch with their fanbases.
    I would love to see you cover Catastrophe Crow, or maybe a deeper dive into why the Medal of Honor franchise didnt go beyond Xbox360

    Remember when the unreleased "Gwimbly CDi" was leaked to the internet during the late 2000's?
    The cutscenes of that game were so cheesy, people made lots of YTPs of it, and I loved these videos!
    They were what introduced to the Gwimbly franchise.

    you should add some imperfections to the posters in the background so they look more like posters. Like rips and a curled up corner or something. It'd look cooler and it'd be a little less confusing since they kind of look like they're being presented in the same way as the assets you're talking about

      this is not a video about smiling friends. it's about the game series "Gwimbly". your probably thinking of the recent cross promotion between the two brands, where Gwimbly starred in a SF episode, and Mr. Boss was playable in Gwimbly Smash Bros

    Gwimbly totally revolutionized the 3d platformer genre, i still remember people talking about the graphics, responsive gameplay and incredible level design of the og trilogy, it really felt like a next gen experience. Tbh i wish IGBG would remake or just port gwimbly to modern platforms, everyone should play this masterpiece at least once in their lives. Too bad they just want to focus on live service games...

  • @mar10ssj1

    Gwimbly Smash Bros is a cool game but the O.J. Simpson character is WAY TOO OP. Once he starts charging you and takes out his signature knife-slashing technique, it's over. They need to nerf him down a notch. Maybe give him PTSD or something, idk.

  • @dnmstarsi

    I always found the Japanese versions of Gwimbly fascinating. Gameplay wise, it's too easy and Japanese Gwimbly sounds too adorable though I'm not a fan of the Japanese version's replacement tracks.

    • @austinreed7343
      @austinreed7343 Місяць тому

      The European versions can be even weirder; the German Gwimbly still sounds pretty cute but there’s a ton of racist imagery and characterizations added to those versions, but hot diggety dog are the European releases smooth to play.

      Real talk though, I love how this video is filled with Easter eggs from a whole bunch of other platformers
      Like I think there's the aesthetic of Banjo Kazooie, the popularity and gun mechanics of Megaman, the secret levels and Level themes of crash bandicoot, the plot of Donkey Kong, the elemental guns of Ty the Tazmanian Tiger, the troubled development history and fan artwork of Sonic the Hedgehog, how theres Mario Kart clones everywhere and a bunch of modded gameplay from stuff like jet set radio
      There's probably a whole bunch more
