Hi, I'm a developer for DoubleShake which was very inspired by Tomba/Tombi along with a few other 2.5D platformers. This video will actually help me and my team greatly look back, and I thank you for your effort into making this.

Tomba! and Tomba! 2 are one of the best games I've ever played in PS1 along with Spyro and Crash. My brother and I had a great and fun time playing it. I miss those days when he and I were so struggling solving the events.

I dont believe the name OR the character design hurt Tomba. The whole reason i rented it as a kid was because i found the cover interesting! His pink hair and green shorts is iconic. I think it was released at the wrong time and without enough ads. :(

Id actually love to know how much tomba 1 and 2 sold with the psone classics release on psn. Tomba's lack of commercial success is really hard to pin point a reason on, but I honestly think it was timing and it not being a game you could find everywhere. Most people knew of the game from the demo disc it was featured on a lot of them but no one really saw it in stores. Compared to the biggef I.Ps like Crash and Spyro

I loved Tomba 2.... one of the best games on PSX i played it like crazy when i was a kid.

I can tell the marketing for Tomba 2 must have been insufficient, because I never even knew it had a sequel until I saw this

Tomba 1 is great and I'm currently trying to finally finish it. Tomba 2 is legendary for me. It is soon good, and it brought me so much happiness as a child. I even re purchased it on PSN and played through it as an adult and it is still so good. I wish these games got the Spyro crash remake treatment, that would be a dream come true. Tomba is my favorite platformer.

Tomba is probably my absolute number 1 favorite PSX game of all time. I still replay it and the sequel every once in awhile. The only PSX games that could compete in my mind are Lunar Silver Star Story and FFVII.

Loved the video. Great research!

The Tomba legacy in general is something video game developers should look back into. The character and theme the concepts were unique and the gameplay was also very fun. Tomba 2 definitely made a stamp in the video game industry. So I’m hopeful it gets revamped with the same fun dark elements and abilities it had.

The changing of names is extremely common across all medias for similar reasons, for example, star wars R2P2 is renamed as R2D2 in hispanic countries because P2 sounds like the word "fart" in spanish, and that is only a "funny" example but is super super common in general especially as the game had most languages as optional in the same version, i remember it had spanish, english, german, french,italian and portuguese, maybe dutch too. I cant remember if the included "book" was in all of those languages too, but i am pretty sure that the copy of the actual cd was the same for all europe so they wouldnt want to have a misleading sounding name as a title, probably so they could sell more games
