Robotron does have twin stick functionality if you plug in a second controller. Its one of a handful of n64 games with dual analog support. It was wild to find that out as a huge n64 fan decades later

SHUT UP. That's amazing!!!

I know it was probably unintentional, but saying Wario Land "doesn't get a fair shake" was some excellent wordplay. 😁 Great video man. This was a really fun topic!

It was legitimately the ONLY thing I scripted for this video. 😂

@@SquarePegs Well, then I would say it was time well-spent!

I hated getting a 79 or 89 in school... Come on just bump it up 1%!! 😂😂😂 Great video

I really do need to find Shox. Looks right up my alley for a racer. Another stellar video, Jay!! And OMG! The MetaCritic thing you mention at the end is something I would 100% do, hahaha! Love that.

Also, Simon's Quest is my favorite NES Castlevania as well! I love the open world and the music.

6:50 THANK YOU!!! My favorite Castlevania game. So many good memories.

Oh, we're gonna get along swimmingly. 😁

There are so many truly great 7/10 games, and like you say, a handful reviews that didn't rate a game can devestate a Metacritic score.

I also enjoyed TMNT Hyperstone Heist partly because this was either the 1st or 2nd Beat 'em Up game I've ever played in my life as a kid for the Sega Genesis (the other Beat ' em Up being Streets of Rage 2 of course.). This was before I was eventually introduced to Turtles in Time on the SNES but I still enjoy Hyperstone Heist regardless.

I just bought my first DS, and I cosplay as Thor... By Odin's beard, thank you for the recommendation!

Great video! I remember having so much fun playing Robotron 64. I don't have it now but its definitely on my wishlist. And never played tmnt hyperstone heist until I got the cowabunga collection and its a lot of fun

4:14 If I remember correctly, this doesn't have a physical release here in the US for whatever reason so I had to end up getting this from the Switch eShop digitally when it came out at the time.

There isn't a dedicated US release, that's true - but Amazon is selling the worldwide release where all the text is in English. That's the one I've got, and it works great! Thanks for watching!

@@SquarePegs You're very welcome fellow Ecco The Dolphin hater : ).

Hi, first video of yours I’ve seen. I was wondering why I hadn’t heard of you before, but when you got to Hyperstone Heist it made sense. SNES ALL DAY BABYYYYYYY!!!!

LOL. I'm happy you're here, even if your taste in turtles leaves something to be desired. 😜 In all seriousness: thank you for giving the channel a shot. It means the world to me, and I hope you find some entertainment here!

10:51 “A fair shake.” Was that intentional?

Legitimately the only thing I scripted. 🤣

Scott and I are on opposite sides of the TMNT camp, although It's the difference of splitting hairs. He was a Genesis kid growing up and I was an SNES kid. Shocked that Hyperstone heist is ranked that low. The game for me that ranks of average that I can't understand is Days Gone. 71....geez but that might have been from it being a bit broken at launch.

I think Hyperstone Heist gets dinged more because Turtles in Time is probably the best beat em up on the SNES, while Hyperstone Heist has Streets of Rage II looming over it. Other than that, it's a solid TMNT game if taken on its own.

Too many games to name from 1980-Now

I know I have probably said this before l, but, man, I really appreciate your videos. I love your laid back attitude talking about games that really nobody else does. You've put a spotlight on some games that I have really come to enjoy that I probably never would have seen if not for your videos. Thanks again

Ok, so it's been said: I had a Genesis, and personally I could not have been more disappointed with TMNT: THH. It just didn't have the scaling effects and other things that we 90s kids got addicted to in the arcades; this was one I could not see as anything but a cheap imitation of what my SNES friends had in their homes. Even today, it's like dude, why play a game that isn't as good? To each their own, but I've passed on that game for 30+ years and would tell new fans to do the same. It's Diet Coke compared to TIT's Coke Classic, IMO.

I’m glad Shox was on your list. I played it a lot when it first came out on the PS2 and always wanted them to make Shox 2. I still play Shox and Freekstyle the other game you mentioned because I’m a big fan of all the EA Big games.

I've added Defender to my Gamecube wishlist. Looks good.

Looking forward to picking up Fantastic Four at SEGE, Hope to see you there!

I don't agree that game review scores pair up perfectly with letter grades. I tend to think of 30/100 (or 3/10) as a failure, 40 as shaky but almost passable, and 50 as average.

Sound Shapes is a really cool rhythm game

👏🏽 great video! Hyperstone heist deserves more love!

I dig that Thor Game, Shox looks good!!! Agreed with Hyperstone Heist 🤷🏼‍♂️ I didn’t know about that Wario, I’d pick that up for sure and give it a fair shake 😉 A good FF game?!? Interesting, solid list and vid good sir!!!

Yes!!! Turtles! Oh some of these games are sooo much fun!

Castlevania 2 & fantastic four are amazing games

Great list !!!

TMNT Hyper Stone Heist deserves at least a 90 overall. It's way better than the TMNT Turtles in time on Snes. I'll give you main reasons why it's better. On the Genesis version you get different endings when you beat this on any difficulty setting. On Snes you have to beat the game on the hardest setting to see the ending, otherwise it says why not play on a harder difficulty setting when you beat the game on easy &b normal. Another reason why it's a lot better than the Snes are the controls &b the gameplay. This goes for every Genesis title that has a muti plat game with the Snes. The games play really smooth & precise accuracy. On the Snes games play awful with their controls if it's 3rd party games.

Nothing wrong with TMNT hyperstone heist, i only saw 90% scores here in the uk, whoever thinks its a bad game must be dumb. Easily as good as the super nintendo game and ive played both hundreds of times.

I don't know how people can hate hyperstone heist the one I hate is turtles in Time like hyperstone heist is the perfect Ninja turtle game that plays perfect it's got the right amount of levels whereas turtles in times way too long and way too hard unless you play it on easy no one wants to play 10 levels. Hyperstone heist only has five levels but there well balanced. it's an unpopular opinion I know. Not to mention turtles in time is just too long and it gets old

Star Fox 64... it's the best game on N64, none compare. All others were outclassed many times by their own series or genre (Golden Eye is slayed by modern FPS) ... only Star Fox 64 reigns supreme in its genre ... no other N64 game can even begin to compare. WAY Better than perceived by people. Star Fox 64. All the way #1 pick in this category. Suikoden 1 is the best in the series but sure 2 had cool graphics and the full advantage of knowing everything about the playsatation vs being a launch game development cycle in the 1st ... also = Final Fantasy 2 (famicom) is a true gem!

the reason turtles in time is better is the color palette... nowhere does the SNES dominate the Genesis more than in color palette. Period. Sound? YEs but it's not the domination that colo is. Some songs with bass and synth sound amazing on genesis challenging the fun of snes tunes... but colors its just SNES crushing its competitor

75+ is a very high rating, with 50 being average....all these 78/79 games are just universally acclaimed games...i enjoyed the video regardless, but the whole premise is just super flawed.

I don't necessarily agree with you. When you look at games like Sackboy - there's some 100's that spike it's rating, but the majority of reviews put it at a 70 or below with most saying how it's uninspired and not creative. Games like Baten Kaitos at a 78 had some high 80s scores, but most reviews drop it back down for the cardinal sin of apparently being a remake. They aren't universally lauded, which is why on a grading scale they come out as average or slightly above (D-C+ in terms of school grades). You don't have to agree, that's certainly in your purview, but this wasn't a half-assed idea - I dug in on each review and did my research. :)
