Great vid. I need to play 3D Dot Game Heroes myself if I have the chance.

I've played a shitload of Pocket Fighter back in the day, great game! Another overlooked gem is Alundra for PSone, very classic 2D-rpg with insane dungeons.

i really enjoyed this video. this subject has been done to DEATH and back, but you guys found a way to make it seem fresh. and the fact it was great AND longer than the typical video was awesome, i wanted it to keep going. really look forward to more.

They actually have a lot of overlooked, underrated, and just plain ignored games in their videos actually. There are a fair number of shmups and racing games but that's just due to their preferences. It's a great series.

Skullmonkeys looked awesome. I have Predator 2 for my Mega Drive but never played it before. I really like the Illusion games on Mega Drive but I guess its not that overlooked since it got a "kinda" sequel on 3DS ... A lame constant backtrack the same levels sequel ... urgghhh

Pocky and Rocky on Super Nintendo in Autralia. I love that game yet no one even knows it existed. Has anyone else played/heard of the game? I would really love to know what other people thought of it

I though Pac-Man World 2 on the Gamecube was a decent to great game. It took the basic Pac-Man elements and integrated them into a 3D platformer (it played very similar to the PS1 Crash Bandicoot games in my opinion), and it worked out perfectly. It even satisfied the classic Pac-Man fans by creating new mazes based off the game's levels, and unlockable ports of notable Pac-Man arcade games (I never unlocked Ms. Pac-Man though). It's a bit on the short side, but I'd recommend it to any Pac-Man or platformer fan.

I haven't played it, but I just saw Professional Jared make a review for the game, and from what I can gather, it looks and doesn't look like a conventional shoot 'em up game.
