Video Games Monthly just sent me another
0:01
box full of retro games. Let's see what
0:03
we got. All right, the first one off the
0:06
bat, baby. We got Glover on the Nintendo
0:08
64 classic 3D platforming. I remember
0:12
seeing Glover for the first time, and I
0:15
was like, that is unique. We got a
0:16
glove. Is this Mario's glove? I always
0:18
thought, was this a reference to Super
0:21
Mario? Because the glove kind of looks
0:22
like the gloves he has. Anyway, it's a
0:24
wacky and I still think to this day
0:26
underrated 3D platformer. It's beloved.
0:29
I think it's a classic in most cases or
0:32
not. And I have not played it to be
0:34
completely honest. I've seen people play
0:36
it. I've seen people talk about it. Now,
0:38
I got it in my library. And
0:40
nevertheless, I will be checking this
0:42
game out and enjoying it and seeing what
0:44
Glover is really all about. And it's
0:46
made by Hasbro Interactive. Don't you
0:48
like classic N64 games? Like, this takes
0:51
you back, right? I was like 1998. I was
0:54
in eighth grade. I was wearing NWO
0:56
Wolfpack shirts, doing the DX sucket
0:58
signs, eating Go-Gurts, and all that
1:01
stuff. So, 1998 called, they're getting
1:03
their game. We got Glover on the N64 as
1:06
my first pickup. Let's see what else is
1:08
in this box. Looks like we got Top Spin
1:11
on the Wii. I haven't gotten a Wii game
1:14
in quite some time. This is a 2K Sports
1:17
tennis title. Looks like we got the
1:18
manual inside as well. That's nice.
1:20
Remember manuals? I miss getting manuals
1:22
in video games. The back of the box
1:25
says, "Are you up to the challenge?
1:27
Complete Wii functionality through the
1:29
Wii remote. A player's forehands,
1:31
backhands, and serves are perfectly
1:32
mirrored by the game's realistic swing
1:35
motions. Remember how cool it was to
1:37
have Wii motion? I remember that was the
1:39
most interactive thing of all time. The
1:41
Wii was actually on fire when it came
1:43
out. I don't know if some of you guys
1:44
watching this weren't around when the
1:45
Wii launched. That Wii remote motion
1:48
functionality was like the coolest thing
1:50
ever. Every game had it gimmicked in
1:52
there somehow. And it looks like this
1:53
one has it. And it says it's the only
1:55
full package tennis game on the Wii
1:57
featuring 16 licensed players on 10
2:00
realworld venues such as Roland Garos,
2:03
the US Open in the Australian Open,
2:06
right? And I don't really follow tennis.
2:08
I know that there was John Mackenrorow
2:10
back in the day. He was pretty cool.
2:12
Then it says there's fun party games.
2:14
It's easy to pick up and play. Embark on
2:16
the road to glory. And there's a split
2:18
screen mode as well. So tennis on the
2:21
Wii. I don't think I have another tennis
2:23
Wii game. So, Top Spin 3 by 2K Sports.
2:26
Let's go.
2:29
That's what I'm talking about, baby.
2:31
Boom. We got Xbox OG. We got Golden Eye
2:35
Rogue Agent. Who doesn't love Pierce
2:37
Broen, first of all? Who doesn't love
2:40
James Bond? Who doesn't love anything
2:42
related to that whole franchise? And it
2:45
says, "Why save the world when you can
2:47
rule it? Show no mercy. Nintend split
2:50
screen and online multiplayer action.
2:52
Enemies controlled by the allnew evil AI
2:55
mean no two games are ever the same. So
2:57
this was like the best artificial
2:59
intelligence you can get. NPCs
3:01
apparently. It's an OG Xbox game which
3:04
this is one of the consoles that I like
3:05
to collect for cuz I didn't have an OG
3:08
Xbox when it first came out. I was a
3:11
GameCube guy. So, PlayStation 2 and Xbox
3:14
I missed out on completely and I didn't
3:17
have any of the games. So, to see new
3:20
games that I don't have, I'm like, "All
3:22
right, let's go, baby. Let's collect
3:23
it." So, it's like there's still console
3:25
generations I don't have games for. And
3:27
this looks like a pretty fun little
3:29
firsterson shooter. It says, "Fight
3:31
alongside and against legendary villains
3:33
such as Goldfinger, Odd Job, [ __ ]
3:35
Galore, I've always thought that was
3:37
such an interesting name, and Dr. No.
3:39
Utilize over a 100 different weapon
3:41
combinations through independently
3:42
triggered dual weld weapon system. Your
3:45
two-handed arsenal will be devastating
3:47
during encounters with multiple enemies.
3:49
And funny enough, EA games made this. So
3:52
this was old school EA when they still
3:54
tried, when they still made games, when
3:57
they still enjoyed doing what they're
3:58
doing and they're not just making
4:00
microtransactionheavy video games like
4:02
they are today. Looking at the trailer,
4:04
looking at the gameplay footage, this
4:05
one actually looks like it is a lot of
4:07
fun. And again, like I said, James
4:09
Bond's always great. Had lots of
4:11
memories with previous James Bond games
4:13
in the past, whether it was Golden Eye
4:15
or Nightfire, uh, you know, Tomorrow
4:18
Never Dies, all those games. So, Golden
4:20
Eye Rogue Rogue Agent, and it looks like
4:22
it was a Xbox exclusive if I'm not
4:25
mistaken. So, nice. Always good to get
4:27
an OG Xbox game. Moving up in the box,
4:31
we got a PSP game. I didn't have a PSP
4:34
either. And uh this is Killzone and it
4:36
has a seal on it. So maybe it's factory
4:39
sealed or I don't know. But Killzone
4:42
says the healthist return. All the fate
4:45
of the planet hangs in the balance. One
4:47
soldier is sent on an impossible
4:49
mission. So this looks pretty cool. I'm
4:52
not familiar with PSP anything. Didn't
4:54
have one. Killzone Liberation says it's
4:57
an exclusive. Um, yeah, I don't even
5:00
have a PSP, but that's cool because uh I
5:03
can start a PSP collection right now. If
5:05
you guys have any recommendations, feel
5:07
free to let me know in the comment
5:09
section. It's always good to start
5:11
getting games for consoles and stuff
5:13
that you don't have. I'm I'm like that,
5:14
okay? Even if I don't have the console,
5:16
I want to get games. I like games. You
5:18
can see in the back behind me, I got all
5:19
sorts of games and uh it's one to add to
5:22
it. So, it says uh 16 intense single
5:25
player missions. So, this is another
5:27
another single player type of game. It's
5:29
tactical tactical command system. Order
5:32
a teammate to follow, hold, attack, or
5:34
plant explosives. Innovative thirdp
5:36
person viewpoint. Study the battlefield.
5:38
Plan your next move. So, this actually
5:40
looks kind of cool. Uh, I've never
5:42
played it before, guys. If you played
5:43
it, let me know in the comments down
5:45
below. Let me know your thoughts on
5:46
Killzone Liberation. It's always good to
5:49
find out new opinions, new perspectives,
5:51
new uh feedback on games and stuff,
5:53
especially because I'm a noob when it
5:55
comes to the PSP. Let me know, guys, in
5:57
the comments. And while you're here,
5:59
guys, if you picked up any retro games
6:01
recently or do you have retro game
6:03
recommendations just overall, let me
6:05
know your thoughts. Uh cuz I I I always
6:08
look out for retro games. People are
6:09
always asking me, "Hey, do you still
6:10
collect retro?" Yes, I do. And that's
6:14
part of the reason why I like video
6:15
games monthly because there's games that
6:17
are sent my way and I don't like to go
6:19
do the flea marketing or the hunting and
6:21
stuff like that. Sometimes I'm just
6:23
lazy. But if you have any
6:24
recommendations, guys, out of any games
6:26
that you think I should get that are
6:27
underrated, let me know in the comments
6:29
down below. Love to hear from you guys.
6:31
And now with last but not least, we got
6:33
a game that I actually do not have on
6:34
the PS4 that I've heard a lot about
6:36
through the years. This is Persona 5.
6:39
I've heard so many things about Persona
6:41
5 throughout the years. A lot of people
6:43
were like, "Dude, you gotta play it. You
6:45
gotta play it. You gotta play it." Well,
6:46
now I have it, so I guess I could play
6:48
it. And uh yeah, this says, "A group of
6:50
high school students are out to reform
6:53
Tokyo society. Troubled by the deception
6:55
and hypocrisy all around them, these
6:58
phantom thieves will steal into the
6:59
hearts of people and confront the
7:01
problem from the inside out. Spend the
7:03
days as a normal student. Go to school,
7:06
hang out with friends, hold a part-time
7:07
job. after school. Enter the palaces of
7:09
people's hearts and root out the evil
7:12
within. Your bonds are your power as
7:14
confidants provide you strength and aid
7:16
in battle and beyond. So, it is an RPG
7:17
game. Uh I have played other Persona
7:20
games like Royale and all that, but I've
7:22
never played like Persona 5 itself. Uh
7:25
I've always heard nothing but great
7:27
things about it. And it's an Atlas game,
7:29
so it's gonna be super JRPG, which I'm
7:32
uh hit or miss with most of the time,
7:34
but I've never heard anybody say
7:36
anything bad about Persona 5 ever. So,
7:38
I'm not entirely worried about it. It's
7:40
a PS4 game, so I can pop it into the
7:42
PlayStation 5. And it does have a seal
7:44
on it, so that's interesting as well to
7:46
see. So, good condition game right here.
7:49
And it's a PlayStation Hits version. So,
7:52
you know, it's got to be good when
7:53
there's a PlayStation Hits version of
7:55
that game. So, now we're going to do a
7:57
recap of what we've gotten for this
7:59
haul. Again, the first game we got was
8:01
Glover for the N64. Always great to get
8:04
games for this collection. This is
8:05
another console that I don't have a lot
8:07
of games for, so anytime I get a new
8:10
game for it that I don't already have, I
8:12
get pretty excited. I've always heard
8:14
great things about this one. So, I'm
8:15
pretty stoked for Glover, guys. Next up,
8:18
we have the Top Spin 3 for the Wii,
8:20
which is a tennis game. Again, another
8:22
console that I don't have a lot of games
8:24
for. So, it's always good to get one
8:26
that you don't have. And uh it you know
8:29
what? I It's been a while since I've
8:31
opened the Wii and busted it out and
8:32
played with it. So, we might do it. We
8:35
might be up to the challenge like it
8:36
says in the back. Next up, we got Golden
8:38
Eye, which I'm always stoked for an Xbox
8:40
OG game. So, Golden Eye Rogue Agent,
8:43
let's go, baby. And then we also got
8:45
Killzone Liberation. Don't have the PSP,
8:48
but it's always good to have a game that
8:49
I know I don't have. And last but not
8:51
least, we got Persona 5. So yeah, five
8:54
great little games that we got sent my
8:55
way. Thank you everybody for watching
8:57
this. Let me know your comments. Which
8:59
game out of these do you like the most?
9:01
And I'll see you next month, guys, for
9:03
video games monthly uh unboxing when I
9:06
when I get my next video games monthly.
