Great video. I've been recommending Ninja Ryukenden 3 to people who hate the US release for years.
It's funny how different companies at different times have had various ideas of what westerners want in regards to game difficulty. Sometimes they make things easier and sometimes they make things harder. I always wish I could have transcripts of the business meetings where these decisions are made.
You should do Bionic Commando/Top Secret: Hitler No Fukkatsu someday. That game had a pretty wild transition to the west.
Re: Same Name, Different Game
Yeah, man, I want to look at Bionic Commando some day. There are a lot of versions though, so that's gonna be a bigger project! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words.
Re: Same Name, Different Game
I've only watched your Ninja Gaiden III review, so if that review wasn't consistent with your other ones, disregard the following.
Constructive Criticism Coming your way!
The lighting, framing, angles are all great. It would quench my thirst to see a game reviewer who didn't wear a t-shirt, but so is life.
Always love when a reviewer speaks of the history of the series and it doesn't sound like someone reading a wikipedia page. Good on you for doing some research and talking about the game before you start playing it.
Also great to see a reviewer who plays the entire game (or at least attempts to).
Good attention to detail as well.
My advice:
Build your bridges quickly. You don't stutter or stagger, but this could have been a seven minute video.
If you are going to gesticulate, make your hand motions as important as the words you are saying.

Re: Same Name, Different Game
I enjoyed the video, but isn't this more of a case of Different Name, (Mostly) Same Game rather than the other way around
