i instantly liked her just because she has a welsh accent(english VO) and sounds like she could live in my town :)

yep... made this mistake with shovel knight... never again...!

Er there is a gold mine of it on the switch eshop. It never left or went anywhere.

4D BOXING

Is this not the kind of games that end up on Playstation Plus or Xbox Game Pass? Not small enough to be "indie asset flips" as you describe, not loving enough to be "true indie" games, but stuff within the realms of single-A games? Really I think what you're missing is the janky PS2 aesthetic. Bad games nowadays still look basically decent because tech has advanced far enough that if you're reasonably moderate with your goals you can make a functional product. Obviously it's not going to look as good as AAA stuff but it's much easier to make a passable-looking game that doesn't fall into the uncanny valley.

oh my god when you whipped out the phoenix games list and i made eye contact with g-force i felt so vindicated, only to find out it was a COMPLETELY different g-force from the one i remember playing! mine was a licensed game from the movie of the same name (the one about spy guinea pigs) and of all the weird branded shovelware video games i've played that one is the one i remember the most... glad to see that the 'random pile of bargain bin video games' is universal because i have sooo many memories of wanting a cool game and having to settle for like shrek 2 for the gamecube ...

I picked ant bully for the gamecube once. Genuinly the worst game I ever played

I also bought Spyro enter the dragonfly as a kid :(

Well... that's the side effect of gaming becoming such a big business nowadays. Publishing lots of cheap games isn't sustainable anymore because... well, gamedev got pricier and takes longer, even for shovelware. As for the statement about digital only shovelware not being shovelware... I don't know, for me Shovelware was always a game made cheaply to trick some unsuspecting people (mostly parents) to buy it. They were bad but they were cheap and easily available. Does a game needs to be made by multiple people to be shovelware? Not really? But there are smaller studios that make TRUE digital shovelware. You just have to look for it. I always seen various budget series (like Simple 2000). Are they all bad? No. They were just... extremely low budget. But hey, Global Defense Force was a part of this series and it was great! There were many games in these cheap series that are quite valid for their lower price. But yeah, I miss the golden years of shovelware too. I mean... I still can go to the Internet auction site and look at different PS1 or PS2 game and find games I've never heard about that look extremely trash and cheap, buy them and enjoy them (to some degree). Sure, we have little nightmares like games published by Midas or developed by Data Design Interactive... but at least they are interesting conversation pieces now? I would HATE to get one of them back then, but now I definitely can tolerate trash more. I don't know, I just tend do see flickers of care even in the biggest trash heap. And hey, they still are physical versions of shovelware for modern consoles (at least for PS4, PS5 and Switch). There's a lot less of them though. ...I miss bargain bins in super markets. Eh.

Shoverware games are the most fun when they are so terrible that they become great. X-Men Destiny were a terrible action platformer but had a large enough soul by the heavily crunched dev team that it was a fun weekend exploring everything in the game. Similarly so with Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup were bad to play but charming enough to be a fun nostalgic memory. Actually, nearly all of the Harry Potter games feel like shovelware. Nowdays I get my Shovelware fill by buying Mystery Steam Key bundles. So many horrendous games have been added by these bundles but some gems I'd likely never find on my own. I'm Not A Monster First Contact was a intresting mix of Xcom like gameplay that look and feel like some old Sci fi B movies.

That one game I am always looks up to in hope to see a port for PC.

After all these years, nothing ever came close to this mix of beauty and sadness, a cocktail of feelings very hard to understand, and yet harder to explain. This game will be with me till the end

Mario Baseball fans got it worse with just 2 titles and last release was 2008.

blame the brit’s for “soccer” lol

The quickest switch up in human history

I never played this game, but I’ve seen the full gameplay and it looks really good. The story is genuinely captivating. Maybe ill either emulate it or try and find a legitimate copy (with a reasonable price of course.)

Unrelated to the topic but this appeared randomly on my front page, i took one look and said "Holy is that Nia from Xenoblade Chronicles 2?". Which definitely got my attention lmao. i felt destined to see this

the star maze song actually was acknowledged in one game, but that game was paper mario sticker star. if you use the boombox in that game it plays the star maze theme

Where can I play that colored version of Mario Land 2? It looks super cool!

Great video, I completely agree with the problems with 2D Mario, and I actually think the problem started all the way back at Mario 3.

…….im welsh so no contest there.

Best hips of XBC2

This is the best video on youtube

Can't say I've heard of this game before. Looks quite innovating for its time. A PS1 Horror game I remember trying but never got far as I never understood what happened or were said as a young 10-11 year old. Resident Evil Survivor (Biohazard Gun Survivor) were a lightgun PS1 game that you explored some island near Racoon City after they missiled the city. That's as much I know but the cover art always stuck with me, especially compared to the US and JP featuring the main character. The EU one? Gun. Straight up pistol and some bullets. Interestingly enough, the 3rd game of the Survivor spinnoff games were not a Resident Evil game but a Dino Crisis game.

uooohhh so cute

Lilymon is cute.

Not funny, didn’t laugh… Only 12:00 made me chuckle a bit and that was it.

First of all, Nia looks lovely in Kairi's outfit. Secondly... German gamer, Digimon World, bug... I think I might be familiar with this story... and how I'm a lucky PAL region fella for being a Brit. 0:13 - Tetris is an even poorer example with the recent story (it was this year right?) of the kid who beat one of the seemingly unbeatable versions of Tetris. 0:40 - I adored Digimon World as a kid... but as someone with the UK version, I had no idea about this bug other PAL region players were suffering from. 1:57 - Wouldn't Ladydevimon have been a more befitting example here? Ah well, nice art of Angewoman... who I don't recall being in Digimon World 1. 2:51 - Hmm, but why do these bugs exist? I assume the Japanese version would have been the first made and thus the most likely to have bugs but they are popping up in these latter, translated versions? Perhaps the change of language messed with how some of the code was assigned? 3:21 - It's certainly not beginner friendly and yet Digimon World feels like a natural advanced evolution of the tamagotchi formula that Digimon came from. 5:45 - That sounds insane... but I believe there might be some logic to it. It'd be cool to see such a trick in action but I'd be terrified of potentially harming the console or disk to ever try it. 8:12 - I never used a guide for progressing... but I always used a guide for the Digivolutions. I didn't have the internet as a kid but somehow my oldest brother got given a sheet listing all of the digivolutions... with only a few inaccuracies.

I can't imagine myselft without Monolithsoft anymore, without Xenoblade... And I love your accent, where are you from?

Nia!!!! Noooooo!!!!

What makes me lose interest in Open World games are usually the lack of landmarks or personality. Large but empty maps with nothing to see for several minutes can put one to sleep. Another is boring traversal system like horribly handling vehicles or slow movement.

They need to make another xenoblade game with the xenoblade 2 characters and their same design that takes place maybe like 1 year after xenoblade 2 events.

Welsh Cat girl=peak, enough said

Jeebus crust, how do you find all that time to play all these games AND make videos? Scary stuff. ...also, following your recommendation I got myself Tevi (as its physical version finally hit the shelves). Thanks.

WHERE WAS MY INVITE TO RABBIT & STEEL!!!!!

Not sure what month got the best releases but i know that this month got more releases than i have money for. Which is all of them.

HIPS. THE HIPS. ALL HIPS. HIP HOP. HIPS FOR GRIPS. MM MM MMM. YES I AM DOWN BAD. SUE ME.

Omg thanks for this video, you finally solved one of my childhood mysteries

5:40 I did play blobby volley at work once, where our task was the make a working RJ45 cable. If you got it working, your reward was to play that game (or trackmania, whatever is preferred)

Darn, really great video about something that is really close to my heart, as I'm from a neighbouring country and most of the games popular in (and from) Germany were really popular here too. Gothic series has INCREDIBLY big following and is considered a true classic (both for its memetic aspects and pretty much the rest of it). It's a really great series, and the third installment (even when it... wasn't what the predecessors were) was considered a rival to The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. ...you know, "work" simulator video games (like the forklift simulator you mentions) coming from Germany is such a meme here in Poland. You know, you come back from your work and to relax you... do the same thing you are relaxing from. Fitting for a nation that is considered to be so hard working. ...then again, Thief Simulator was created by a Polish studio, so maybe there's some truth to the stereotypes (at least it's not "Car thief simulator", haha)... We enjoy these type of games, too. Truck driving simulations were REALLY popular in my childhood years. Signalis was such an amazing experience... that I don't know what other to say. It touched me deeply. I was wondering if you will talk about Moorhuhn (finally I have official confirmation that my pronunciation of it was correct all along!), but then again... it would be REALLY weird if you didn't, no? It was a phenomenon after all. They were fun little distraction (most of them even included "boss key" - if you pressed it, the game "mimicked" Word (or some other utility program, depending on the game) to save you from being fired. My biggest issue with them was the fact that each one of them consisted only of a single screen. Sure, there were MANY secrets, but still, only a single screen and that was all. We had our own series - "Kurka Wodna" (Polish name for a subspecies of... well... moorhen. Bit... on the nose, and I love it), also known for its Wii version of the second game in the series- Chicken Shot. While the first game was a SHAMELESS ripoff of Moorhuhn, second and third ones greatly expanded on it. ...and was BEAUTIFULY hand drawn and animated. ...I couldn't believe it when, while browsing Amazon, I found PHYSICAL VERSIONS of Moorhuhn for PS5. I had to buy them all. It was just... too funny. I respect their hustle. ...ze Germans also made A LOT OF great strategy games. The original pre-UbiSoft "Die Siedler" (or "The Settlers) were OUTSTANDING. ...my favorite economic strategy, Pizza Connection 2, was also made in Germany. Also... Technomage. It was... interesting, but the artstyle really bothered me back then. Yup. Germans are THE KING of Eurojank. And I love it. ...what's funny is the fact that you touched on multiple themes that I plan to make videos of (mainly the "moorhuhn" series and "work" games) Thanks for reminding me that. It was a great video to enjoy my coffee too!

You sound soooo German

Nice Nia art, I want her to serve me beer!

Hope you talk about Drakensang: The Dark Eye and River of Time

This video was just an excuse to draw Nia in a Dirndl and sport shortshorts, wasn't it? Yes! I approb!👍

Finally the Vanser Homeland gaming time

The Cult of Nia is sacred!

Lio is the cutest anime girl haha

This is very Japanese. Closest I've come to a Mech game with dating is Ace Academy but that one is a Visual Novel.

I don't think Lio it's a anime girl, But in case i'm wrong: good for her 👍

As another RUclipsr once said, "Do it for Nia". Have a sub.
