Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Friday The 13th
Well regarded as fucking impossible and one of the worst video games ever made, I actually kinda like it! It’s not a GREAT video game by any means, but it does a lot of interesting stuff (some of which I didn’t get to show off) and once you get into a pattern, you can start planning ahead and keep one step ahead of Big J.
Also yes I do main Retro Jason in the 2017 game thank you for asking
I’ll admit, I do very much enjoy Punch Out Jason, though I think the axe is going a little overboard even considering the aforementioned game in which boxers use magic.
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - True Lies/Everything Breaks
After we ended this episode, a Hyperrealistic Mr. Nutz came out of my screen and turned my walls into blood, but then a Hyperrealistic Arnold Schwartzeneggar came out and shot Mr. Nutz. Thanks for not being mad about the terrible impressions, Arnold!
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Sailor Moon/Eek the Cat
So uh, hypothetically if someone wanted to watch Sailor Moon in english but like, not the weird old one, is that an option
(Also sadly this is the end of the backlog for a bit, but we’ll definitely be recording more when we get a chance!)
Regarding Sailor Moon: Chibi-Usa did indeed use some kind of hypnotism power on Usagi’s family to make them think she was their daughter, and she kept getting between Usagi and Mamoru, so Usagi kinda hated her. So do most fans of the show, I think. As for the odd Sailor V/Sailor Venus thing, Sailor V was Naoko Takeuchi’s previous series, in which the V stood for Victory and she was more like a secret agent. Shortly after the series started, I guess either she or the publisher came up with the idea to have a larger team of girls, so she made Sailor Moon as a spinoff. The Sailor Moon girls made cameos in Sailor V as both series continued, until she finally brought Sailor V into Sailor Moon and revealed her to be Sailor Venus. It may have been a bigger deal at the time.
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Lion King/Aladdin
For our triumphant return to the 16-bit era, we’re playing a disney game I hate a bunch, followed by one I love a bunch!
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Disney Shitshow
There were a lot of shitty fucking Disney games on SNES
I’m surprised to hear you say that the SNES version of Aladdin is better than the Genesis version. I’ve heard the same “one is great, the other is eeeeeeh”, but I’ve always heard that the Genesis version was the better one. I’ve never played the Genesis version, but I did play the hell out of the SNES version, and if the SNES version is the “eeeeeh” one, then the Genesis one must be one of the best games on that system.
edit: Also, Ardy Lightfoot is a good game, and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Dual Orb/Ultimate Fighter
And so begins the section of the ROMcom where I try to find the most awkwardly translated titles because hoo man, there was some weird shit on the SNES
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Dragon View
This game actually owns pretty hard! If I hadn’t completely blown it we probably woulda done a second episode of this.
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Feda: Emblem of Justice
This game also kinda rules once I figure out you can’t fire a crossbow further than ten feet!
Look I just finished an XCOM 2 campaign where my only casualty was a single Spark, I’m not about to have my skills as a commander doubted
This game seems closer to Shining Force than Fire Emblem. It’s aesthetic is extremely similar, but with more tech and less color. That being said, I looked it up and it seems like a different company developed it, so I guess it was just a heavy inspiration.
Also, the demonic ritual used to bring Dora back from the dead was amazing, thank god for glitchy translated text.
Let’s Play Mario’s Time Machine Redux Episode 1 - Here’s An Apple, Fuck You
WE’RE BACK AND it’s this, I’m very sorry. We’re… smart
EDIT: Wow it’s been four months I’m SO sorry
Let’s Play Mario’s Time Machine Redux Episode 2 - A Clarinet That Doesn’t Suck
It might be hard to tell, but these were recorded super late at night after I deemed I was too drunk to play Portable Ops. If you like clarinets you probably shouldn’t watch this one.
for real though if any of you bastards give me grief because you think I was serious about american history or band stuff I’ll declare a life grudge.
my main takeaway here is that simple == good with old game music. mario music was pleasant and catchy. most of these games have so many noises going on at once that it’s just grating and irritating to listen to.
that barbie game was pure torture.
Don’t worry, Americans don’t know American history either. It’s fine.
Let’s Play Mario’s Time Machine Redux Episode 3 - My Personal Purgatory
This is the last episode we’ve got in the backlog for now, but Grace really wants to finish this… for some reason, so we should be back soon enough!
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Super Battleship/Death Brade
Hey it’s been a while! We 100% forgot about Mario’s Time Machine and now that we remembered, we’re both upset we didn’t keep playing that.
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - Lord of the Rings/Super Mario Dark World
Grace and I spend the first half of the video talking about how much we don’t like LOTR, so this is probably going to be real well received
Danaru And Grace’s 8/16 Bit Romcom - First Samurai/Metroid -1 Shadow Strikes
I’m not going to lie, First Samurai whipped ass once we got past the brick wall of plot
