Ridiculously underrated game. It should have sold 1000000000 copies or something lol :)

I just love classic anime character design. So much charm. I played this game a bit and it's really neat! :) Great episode, Coury!

Thank you for covering this one Coury, I remember seeing this in issues of Game Fan and never heard about it since. Keep up the great work!

*Achievement Unlocked!* "Teach Old Dog New Game" Really rare for me hear games I haven't heard of unless from Japan and even then normally has to be really old ones am kind shocked I didn't know of this one you gladly earned a sub and like :)

Gunners Heaven was the first game i got on my PSX when I bought the JP version at an import store. Along with Motor Toon Grand Prix.

I've never heard of GH. It's strange because this game would have been (and still is) right up my alley. Such a shame that SCEA didn't want any 2D games to be released in North America. We missed out on a lot.

Looks fun, thanks for doing the games you dont see every day !

I like the rgb episodes but the game features and retrospectives you two do are why I love the channel.

+viewtifuljoe99 [Try4ce] Thank you! RGB gets the most acclaim, so we always love hearing this about our game-focused episodes. We really want to do these more often.

Never heard of this. Thanks and great episode

You have probably the best intro music on KZread.

On an aside, the soundtrack in Gunner's Heaven actually speeds up if you use the fast disc read feature on the PS2 or PSP/PSV emulation settings, so make sure to keep it off when playing this game.

that is one of the sickest discs i've ever seen

it seems like an amazing game u would like to play!keep up the good work!i would like to see some sega saturn games too.or imports! :)

awesome video!

I walked out the GameShop with a PSX with Ridge Racer and WipeOut. Sold my SNES with copybox later to compensate a decission i still regret today. Better times. I never player Wild Arms/ Gunners Heaven but going to get this game asap. It looks great.

I was hoping for more wild arms content : I miss that game. Neat to see this other game tho

great video!

I've been wanting to play this for years! It sucks it's only one player though.

love this game one of my alltime favorites on the psone

I remember Rapid Reload being wround back then but never played it. Just looked on Ebay for a copy and... I think I'll wait until I'm super rich or something. Games like this are right up my alley. I do miss stuff like Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug and Contra.

Ha! I bought by my PSX & first game -- Wild Arms at E.B. around the same time. I chose Wild Arms based purely on the game box. I had no idea what to expect. I was not disappointed.

the game looks great. its now on my list. sadly I was too young to reconize that I should have bought more ps1 games (also GBA) and not DS or PSP games

This looks quite good. Will have to add it to my import wishlist. Also, I loved the hell out of Wild Arms. The only thing I didn't care for in the game was the fugly 3D monsters and characters during combat.

Suikoden was my first psx jrpg. I bought that and Tekken 2.

Wild Arms is a great game :)

I thought that game was called rapid reload, but gunners heaven is such a cooler name!

[Try4ce] No specific idea, no. Game names change a bit between Japan and western markets all the time, so it's not particularly unusual or surprising.

which song you play for introduction and ending?

Shame this didn't come out to the states. Guess I'll have to find some way to find this game and get it to work on PS2.

The PAL version (Rapid Reload) felt the difficulty was too wasy so they limited continues to 5 or 7 ( I cant recall) while the japanese version has unlimited. Also it's perma locked at 50 hz by which I mean: unlike most PSX games which can be forced into whatever refreshrate you need with a boot disc or action replay, this one will always remain at 50 hz. And a neat bit of trivia: Gunners Heaven was referenced in nearly every Wild Arms game at some point but most people miss the reference since they always call it "gunners heaven" and not "Rapid Reload" which is understandable since they usually the reference comes up as a name of some place.

The bar from wa2 came from here

In europe it was called Rapid Reload.

I know nowadays people always saying this is where wild arms started and yes, technically it did. But tenshi no uta is where everything started. Go take a listen to the ost to it and you'll find a lot of similarities. like, half of it sounds like wild arms Wild arms was basically "what if we took the three games we've made so far and mash them into one". This games guns and characters, angel storys music and treasure hunters gs graphics and most everything else

i know they didnt make G but that game has so much in common with wild arms feelwise that it cant be a coincidence

There should have been a mention in the video that this game was released in PAL territories under the name Rapid Reload. It has English but runs at 50hz. It was a launch title for the PS1 in Europe and has become quite hard to find. I recently bought a copy on eBay sans manual for £30. So there are deals out there if you keep an eye out.

do a el dorado gate story on the import dreamcast?

Maybe they should release the games on modern platforms? That could be cool.

Hey, new Video already? Can you guys please Upload BEFORE 7 AM on Sundays? I would appropriate that because it's slowing me down at the moment. By the way, I graduated from High School from 2005 and my family were planning to move from Guam to the US and I was planning to get my hands on a PS3 and Wii when it was still called Revolution. Sounds like I'm gonna have to use Emulator for this. (4:32) Still waiting for a DreamCast and PS2 Episode.

I was excited for a new gem, but no NTSC release. Sad pandas. Sad pandas everywhere.

are you using a Japan ps2 or is there a way to play this on a us ps2? I have having to keep my ps1 connected to play imports.

Wild Arms is actually on short side when it comes to jRPGs roughly 20 something to 30 hours (you can make it even shorter with the item duplication glitch)

Absolutely love the art style of the game. A shame it is single player only.

A: I have always hated Sony as a company. Their antagonism against 2D games, Japanese voice acting, hell even niche games in general it felt like never helped. B: I loved Wild Arms, but sadly I never actually beat one. I always would get pretty far in, but would get stuck for some reason. I really need to remedy that. C: I really don't like how everyone always looks down on games that are similar to others around their release, or when they completely ignore one game in a genre just because a more successful one released around the same time. Shadow Hearts for example getting totally overshadowed and ignored because of FF10. I rented SH, loved it, and went on to buy it outright later.

And add D now: Sony is uncomfy with cartoony anime style games. Everything has to be photorealistic and art house (art direction from scratch like Ape Escape, Boku no Natsuyasumi, Astro Bot, etc) from now on according to Japan Studio's senior vice president, Allan Becker, in 2017. Japanese devs tend to make games for same culture (cartoony anime) and they have to go beyond the Japanese market.

Wow, the PAL version is rather pricey.
