00:00What's going on, GamerNation? You know this is me, JohnTheGamer64, here with Episode 8 of New Games Extravaganza.
00:11So we got two PS4 treasures for you today. Two games I never played, picked up for only $10 each, brand new, on Amazon.
00:22So first game we're going to play is the Fantastic Night Dreams Cotton Reboot.
00:27So I've always been a fan of shoot-em-ups, but I guess this would be in the sub-genre called cute-em-ups.
00:35So this is going to be a fun series to play, because I've heard good things about it, never actually got to play it.
00:42But that's going to change today.
00:45And then Wonder Boy. I've heard of the series. I guess it started off in the arcades. Made by Sega, of course.
00:53That's where I actually knew it from, like the series from.
00:57But I never actually played that, because I didn't have a Sega console back in the day.
01:01So no Sega Master System, no Genesis.
01:04I had a, you know, Super Nintendo, obviously.
01:07And a Game Boy.
01:09Nothing against Sega, but, you know, those were my starting points to my video game journey.
01:17But yeah.
01:18So let's start it off with Fantastic Night Dreams Cotton Reboot.
01:24Ooh, Pixels.
01:28Okay.
01:29That's, um, Scanlink Clad, uh, Fairy.
01:33That's actually bigger than the main character.
01:36That's funny.
01:37Oh, there's a couple different modes here.
01:39So we got the range mode.
01:41X68000 mode.
01:45Time attack.
01:48Okay, okay.
01:49Let's check out the menu right quick.
01:56Oh, okay.
01:57More explanation on the modes here.
01:59Range mode.
02:00New mode.
02:00Adapted from the Z68000 version.
02:06Part of the original.
02:07Okay.
02:08Nice type of bag with the bag.
02:12See, use of magic.
02:13Activate your fever.
02:14Shoot bombs.
02:15Okay, so three buttons plus the directional.
02:18Very nice.
02:28Thank you, hot little furry.
02:29Find your stories to be a bit quick.
02:38Except for it.
02:40What's the control is?
02:43Mostly.
02:52Bring some willow.
02:54What is that, Willow? Is that some sort of drug fan?
03:02For shooting frames, to cheat them.
03:08Bombs, press the bomb by two enemies.
03:14Yes, and me!
03:18My servant's silk.
03:22Oh, because she's wearing silk lingerie, right?
03:26That's the only reason you want to call her silk.
03:30Plus, her hair's silky smooth, I don't know.
03:38So, a servant, you can get up to six servants if you save them along.
03:46Oh, wow!
03:50Don't be such a spider, come on, try shooting at the crystal.
04:00I like this tutorial, it has a lot of character.
04:04It's not boring.
04:06So I can teach usually the main thing, the main mechanics of the game, but I like the humor too.
04:14That really makes the tutorial more immersive.
04:16That's right, in addition to the tutorial.
04:28That's fine.
04:30I can use the dagger, the main mechanics of the game.
04:32Okay, enough explanation, please.
04:34That's all good.
04:36Guess I'll do a range move first.
04:38Okay, enough explanation please, it's all good, I guess we'll do a range move first.
04:53The dicks in the way of darkness is still done, you know, taking the light, the world...
05:16I don't care about that, but it's all good.
05:23Oh no!
05:30Please, please help me!
05:33My world has been killed by the dark monsters.
05:37Why don't you kill the dark monsters and save my world?
05:43He's like, I don't care.
05:48Damn, that was cold!
05:50Cold-blooded!
05:52Oh, so that got her attention, did it?
06:10Jeez.
06:11I thought she was a wicked witch of the west.
06:17Whoa, did we need to do that?
06:23Okay.
06:25Whoa, some crazy looking enemies here.
06:27A lot of demons.
06:32Whoa!
06:33So much going on on the screen.
06:36Oh my gosh.
06:37Whoa.
06:38Whoa.
06:39Whoa.
06:40Yeah, that was a lot of, uh, texts on the screen for me.
06:55Oh, I died?
06:56Oh.
06:57Oh.
06:58Oh, I died?
06:59Oh.
07:00Oh.
07:01That's the last of this.
07:02Yeah, I love it.
07:03Oh.
07:04That's the last of this.
07:05Yeah, I love it.
07:06Yeah.
07:07This game's pretty fun so far.
07:10It's typical of shoot-'em-up here.
07:25Hey, it's the lost vikings.
07:30Oh, they're dead.
07:33Oh, they're dead.
07:43What the heck?
07:44Suck it, suck it.
07:49Definitely loving the art style in this game.
07:53Very colorful and whimsical.
07:57Yay!
08:02Oh, fuck.
08:03Crap.
08:05Oh, it's the first initial boss here.
08:11Whoa.
08:12There's a frickin' giant Easter Island monster here.
08:19Whoa.
08:20Whoa.
08:21Huh.
08:22Pretty crazy boss here.
08:27Whoa.
08:30Oh, yeah.
08:31Oh, yeah.
08:32You're gonna shield yourself through little minions.
08:33I think so.
08:34Oh, crap.
08:35Actually, formidable foe.
08:36Whoa.
08:37Whoa.
08:38Okay.
08:39Okay.
08:41Oh, crap.
08:49Actually, four-membered foe.
09:02Okay.
09:08Come on, Scythe. Come on, come on.
09:12Oh, Dottie!
09:20Pretty wicked boss battle there.
09:25Ooh.
09:27Collectibles.
09:37Nice.
09:38Go through this portal.
09:43Preservation of magic.
09:49Preservation of hips.
09:51Hit them dips.
09:58Oh, Willow's candy.
09:59Interesting.
10:00It's candy.
10:01Interesting.
10:05Mm-hm.
10:06Mm-hm.
10:08Mm-hm.
10:09Mm-hm.
10:11Mm-hm.
10:15Mm-hm.
10:17Mm-hm.
10:20Mm-hm.
10:21What if she's lying to her?
10:35Just to help her.
10:36That would be a hilarious ending, it's like oh, just kidding.
10:43So she's a candy addicted witch, interesting.
10:49Okay, well let's check out the other birds here, lose data, what do I save, nope, I'm trying
11:11to check the controls here.
11:16Alright, go to the main menu, so I'll play the original version, the x68000.
11:34Ah, Doji Graphics, very nice, oh we got options, visual mode, what's visual mode?
11:41I think that's my question, I was wondering what it was.
11:49Okay, same story, same story.
11:56Oh wait, this is like the cutscene mode I guess.
12:04Oh wait, this is like the cutscene mode I guess.
12:08Okay.
12:09One more fucking background.
12:11Oh shit.
12:13So that's cool, you can watch all the cutscenes without actually playing the game, if you have
12:21no interest in playing the game.
12:23Kind of stupid, I mean, it fits all the purpose, playing games.
12:27Might as well watch a movie.
12:30Oh no, I didn't see the ending, I'm like no, don't show me the ending.
12:36Oh my god, no.
12:38Go away please.
12:39Nope.
12:40That's what visual mode is, okay, normal.
12:43Yeah, give us a lot of lives, so we'll be added to ranking.
12:49Alright, let's play the OG here.
13:12Okay, yeah, let's just get to it.
13:15Ah, this is what it looks like.
13:19I like that skull move.
13:24Not as scary as like the wounded Majora's Mask, but it's so badass complex.
13:42It's an interesting subgenre of shoot-'em-up.
13:47You know what?
13:48I'm definitely thinking of this series.
13:49I'm gonna have to like, get some more of these games.
13:55I think there was another one that was like reboot fantasy, or not reboot, cotton fantasy.
14:01Nice.
14:02So I guess this game was just only Japanese exclusive, until they released it here.
14:20Various modern consoles.
14:23Oh.
14:24Crazy eye.
14:25Demon.
14:26You know what?
14:27Almost like Shuma Garroth from Marvelous Tamcom.
14:29Okay, anyways.
14:30We get it.
14:31We just wanted to see the difference in graphics here.
14:34But yeah, if I would have played that back in the day, I would have been pressed to time attack.
14:41We just...
14:42We just...
14:43We just...
14:44We just...
14:45We just wanted to see the difference in graphics here.
14:48But yeah, if I would have played that back in the day, I would have been pressed to time attack.
14:57The world's greatest.
15:00Weep.
15:04Okay, that's a different code.
15:17It's a full aircraft.
15:21Almost full of power here.
15:27Oh my god, a lot of frickin' owls, man.
15:33Hey, there's a little army of hot airbags.
15:42There they are!
15:46God, death is near.
15:53Ah, come on.
15:58Woo!
16:00Armored with fairies.
16:02Yeah, boo.
16:04Who the hell is that superhero flying right there?
16:22Whoa, lightning speed!
16:24Oh, come on.
16:26Apparently we got unlimited lives on this one.
16:29Interesting.
16:38No frickin' zombies throwin' their heads?
16:41Oh my god.
16:42Some crazy frickin' enemies had.
16:44I'm gonna tell ya.
16:51Oh.
16:5210 seconds, 10 seconds.
16:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:03Time up.
17:04Noice.
17:05The longest two minutes in the...
17:10Nice.
17:12Nice.
17:14All right!
17:16And that was Cotton Reboot.
17:19All right, I'm definitely digging these little...
17:22cute'em shmups, or cute'em ups.
17:26So let's move on to Wonder Boy.
17:32All righty folks, and finally got the download data for the Wonder Boy, Asha, and Monster World.
17:39And I also...
17:43Entered the code, or redeemed the code for Monster World 4, so...
17:48We'll save the best for last.
17:50Well, I mean, hopefully it's the best for last, but...
17:53We'll go back and play that, but we're gonna play the new one first.
17:57And go for that.
17:59So yeah, first time playing this series, by the way.
18:02Hey look, it's an Arabian Princess Peach right there.
18:10From...
18:11From the gameplay I saw on YouTube, I'm like,
18:13Oh, I gotta...
18:14Try this game, man.
18:16E-E-N.
18:19Monkey Craft.
18:29Huh.
18:31Oh, very Star Wars-esque.
18:33Heh heh.
18:37People perish.
18:38Kingdoms fall.
18:40All monsters lost in the sands of time.
18:47Children called Legends.
18:49Okay.
18:50Let's just get to it.
18:51But, nice, uh, Star Wars reference there.
18:53Heh heh.
18:54Heh heh.
18:57Alright.
18:58Asha.
18:59Monster World.
19:04Alright.
19:05Check out the system.
19:06Okay.
19:07Magical hit.
19:08Shield guard.
19:10Pepe Lugu action.
19:13Okay.
19:15Alright.
19:16We'll just wing it.
19:17Monster World.
19:22Monster World done.
19:24No, normal.
19:26Normal sign.
19:36Oh.
19:37Blue Flames.
19:38ピarsal reading.
19:40Oh god.
19:41Crazy nuisance.
19:42Crazy nuisance.
19:43No, enormity.
19:44To me.
19:45Not again.
19:55The music!
19:57No, nope.
19:58Let me not hear you listen to it.
20:01And when they were to watch.
20:02Goofy.
20:05You can draw your eyes.
20:06Hmm. That's all he knows how to say.
20:36Is that really a boy, or is that a girl? I mean, I know the name of the game is Wonder Boy, but that looks like a girl. Totally.
20:53Hmm. Interesting.
20:57Where are life shots, blah blah blah.
21:01Estefan.
21:06Oh, Arsha. You've been here in this place.
21:12What, what? I feel like I'm trying to help you.
21:19Hahaha. You've already been a soldier.
21:24Come on, hurry up. Everyone is waiting.
21:33Alright, let's start the journey baby.
21:37So what?
21:44Such a beautiful looking game. I think that's what really drew me to it.
21:49Plus I've always kind of been interested in this series.
21:52And apparently, uh, I guess that game Adventure Island is like, uh, I don't know if it's a spin-off or, I don't know, another variation of the Wonder Boy series.
22:04game Edition.
22:06You know, finalmente sinned.
22:12Hey, lifetraps.
22:13Thank you, grandma.
22:15Nah, G comparta.
22:16Heh heh.
22:22Nice.
22:24Would've settled for some cookies, but life drops will do.
22:33Yeah.
22:35Geez, that's definitely a girl right there.
22:45Aww.
22:47Yes, I'm leaving the nest, mother.
22:59It shakes my butt. It's funny.
23:07So yeah, I know nothing in the Wonder Boy series, so...
23:11Yeah.
23:12I don't know who the characters are and all that, so that's why I was, like, a little confused on it.
23:17This is clearly a girl. It looks like a girl, for sure.
23:19I don't know who the characters are.
23:27Yes.
23:30Alright, let's get to the tower.
23:32It's not a pink cow.
23:33It's not a pink cow.
23:34It's a pink and orange cow.
23:36That's wild.
23:38So I wonder if the pink cow, like, uh...
23:41If you get milk from it, it has strawberry milk, and then the orange one has, like, orange creamsicle milk.
23:48When you light a hill, you're one of the body with a sacred statue.
23:54Blessed by the gods.
23:55I shall offer some prayers to the gods.
24:00Interesting.
24:03Interesting.
24:09Yo.
24:10Hm.
24:12Yo.
24:14Hit the...
24:15Uh...
24:25Don't give up.
24:27I never gave up.
24:29Hang in there.
24:36Freaking noises they make.
24:38It's like they can't speak coherent English.
24:40Alright.
24:41It popped.
24:42I'm outta here.
24:52Alright.
24:53Let's get at him.
24:54Yo.
25:00Bring you something good.
25:01Screw you.
25:02You go on the adventure, dude.
25:04What do I look like?
25:07Ooh.
25:08Ult.
25:10Santa Claus?
25:11Hehehe.
25:21Alright.
25:22Anyways.
25:26There we go.
25:27Now we got some enemies.
25:32I've got their energy.
25:33Time is there.
25:34Once you have enough, you can unleash a powerful magical attack.
25:40Alright.
25:48Ooh.
25:49Gotta get the coinage.
25:52Ayy!
25:53Strawberry cow.
25:54Heh.
25:56That is funny.
26:00Orange creamsicle cow.
26:01Press up and attack to mid air.
26:02Up thrust.
26:03Oh.
26:04Interesting.
26:05Ah.
26:06New shield.
26:07Nice.
26:08Ooh.
26:09Heck yeah.
26:10Another heart, baby.
26:11Ah, I should have tested the new techniques.
26:12There we go.
26:13Stab that jelly through the head, man.
26:26Stab that jelly through the head, man.
26:27Estaf Plateau.
26:28Just don't stop here, Plateau.
26:29Hehehe.
26:30Ooh.
26:31Beautiful.
26:32Beautiful.
26:33Beautiful.
26:35Ooh.
26:36Ooh.
26:37I guess I'm building a meter for magical insects.
26:38Oh.
26:39Beautiful.
26:40Oh.
26:41Beautiful.
26:42Oh.
26:43Oh.

27:00Oh.
27:01I guess I'm building a meter for a magical insect, so...
27:04See what that sweet magical insect should be.
27:08When enemies are lining up, try using down thrust combo.
27:14Oh.
27:15I see.
27:16I can't bounce on him.
27:17Got it.
27:18Got it.
27:19Got it.
27:20Okay.
27:24That's a beautiful game, like, I think that's what really drew me to this one, plus the
27:36price tag at $10 on Amazon, really can't go wrong.
27:41It was that and Cotton Reboot, like, not bad.
27:46Just for some PS4, brand new PS4 games, that are pretty decent, hell yeah.
27:52Oh, fire.
27:55Oh, okay, this one takes more hits.
27:59Alright, gotta find an enemy testament, magical hit.
28:05Alright, hold on.
28:10Oh, okay, okay.
28:17Whoa!
28:18Stay down, fire boy!
28:24Whoa!
28:25Stay down, fire boy!
28:31You gotta love these, like, cheery little games, man.
28:37Always puts you in a good mood.
28:39Like, Banjo-Kazooie's one of them, this one, of course Mario.
28:44Same with Sonic, they have their, like, cheery music too.
28:52Watch out for the mushrooms ahead.

30:08Nice.
30:12Get the coin each.
30:20Cool.
30:23More psychotic version of Goomless.
30:38You know what, now that I think of it, this game kind of reminds me of the Secret of Mana remake.
30:44I'm like, oh, that's another game that I need to, uh, beat in my huge backlog of a thousand million games.
30:53Nice.
30:54That's it.

32:21Oh wait, no.

41:16Love it.
41:21So, because this is the fourth game, I take it she's not the original Wonder Woman, so I guess that makes sense.
41:29And yes, I am brand new to the series, if you had to guess, so.
41:37Hm? What the hell?
41:46Some goofy looking cows.
41:49It's like, uh, some sort of nightmare creature here.
41:56Asha offers a prayer to the gods.
41:59Okay, well that's cool.
42:05I love how they include the original game to it.
42:09Although, I mean, at least what Cotton Reboot has over this one, it's like, the original game was already included on the disc.
42:17So, I think that's what Cotton Reboot has over, uh, the Wonder Boy game here.
42:27So.
42:29But goddamn, this game is so beautiful, and, yeah, I can't wait to, uh, finish it.
42:35It's gonna be fantastic.
42:36Alrighty, folks, thank you all for watching.
