- [JAMES] The Sega Saturn is one of the more
obscure Sega consoles out there.
In fact, it didn't really get any love at all back in the day
unless you lived in Japan!
It got curb-stomped by the Sony PlayStation!
Smashed by the N64!
But it did have a lot of great games,
from the likes of NiGHTS Into Dreams
to Panzer Dragoon
to Clockwork Knight
to Sonic R!
(Crickets Chirping)
Okay, that last one is a guilty pleasure.
But, it also had
a large number of really weird games.
That's especially when you take into account that,
in Japan, it had well over 1,000 games released for it.
When you have that many games released for a console
you can bet that at least some of them
will really make you scratch your head.
So come along on today's episode of Stuff We Play
as we go through 3
really weird
Sega Saturn games!
Welcome to Stuff We Play,
where I'm serious,
I actually like Sonic R.
It has a great soundtrack and
yeah, okay,
but if you like Sega and weird games
then why not subscribe?
So today, yes, we're talking about
weird Sega Saturn games
and I'm assuming that you knew that
because you probably read the title of this video!
The first game on today's list
is Sexy Parodius!
(Sexy Parodius Music)
If that game sounds familiar then you might
be familiar with the game Parodius,
which is a parody of Konami's Gradius!
Sexy Parodius is quite an interesting game.
Now Parodius was already a parody
of Gradius
but Sexy Parodius knocks it up to another level.
I mean, just look at this!
There's giant corn!
There's taco dragons!
There's, uh, lots of anime booty.
Gameplay is pretty simple.
It's a horizontal shooter.
You choose 1 of 8 different characters
that's right, 8 different characters, each with
3 different ways to play,
and off you go!
You have a weapon bar at the bottom of the screen
and by collecting these red icons that are dropped by enemies
you can then actually scroll through the bar
and choose what weapons you want.
However there's another way to get powerups as well
by shooting these bells!
If you just collect the base yellow bells
it'll just give you points.
However, if you shoot them tons and tons
it'll actually give you some power ups
and if that sounds familiar that's because that system is from another Konami shooter,
TwinBee!
Now Sexy Parodius has quite a range of characters.
These range from a paper airplane
to a bunny girl riding on a rocket
to a...fish?
This game is very weird.
Very,
very weird.
Why not take a look at the likes of the
toilet penguin?
Or the nutshack beaver?
Or the final bo-uh oh.
Oh my.
She just crushed that guy with her ass.
Sexy Parodius:
actually a really good game
and it's not Saturn-exclusive
as it came out in the arcades originally
and also received a port to the PlayStation 1
and alter the PSP.
But, as it came out on the Saturn as well,
it's perfect for this list because
when else would I ever get a chance to talk about Sexy Parodius?
So, yeah.
That's a really weird Japanese-exclusive game
but, there were also some really odd, weird, strange, head-scratchingly bafflingly weird Saturn games
that came out Stateside as well
so here to talk about
what's by far the strangest game for the North American Sega Saturn library
is Mr. RGT 85!
Take it away, Shawn!
[RGT] So you want to talk about
some weird Sega Saturn games?
Okay, okay, I get it!
I've played quite a lot of Sega Saturn games in my time
and some of them were pretty weird.
But the weirdest one,
the one that sticks out to me the most,
has to be...
Mr. Bones!
If you don't know what Mr. Bones is,
you play as a dead
blues musician
who comes back to life
to stop
an army of evil skeletons,
even though
you yourself are a skeleton!
There's, like, weird, Skeleton levels
and there's combat
and there's, like, a section of the game where you're playing a rock solo.
No, I'm serious!
You literally sit there with a guitar
and you have to time your button presses
to play the song right!
If you play the song wrong,
the audience gets mad
and you die!
Mr. Bones!
This game is weird as hell!
I don't know where you come up with the concept of this game!
I don't know what sort of drugs you have to be on to come up with this,
but it's really not a bad game,
it's just really strange.
It's really weird!
It's a game I really enjoy, though.
If you've never played Mr. Bones
which you probably haven't unless you already own it on the Sega Saturn,
well, if you own a Saturn,
be on the lookout for it.
It's not a bad game
but it's definitely weird.
It's definitely not
your run-of-the-mill game.
I really enjoy it, though,
and that's all that matters.
So, Mr. Bones,
definitely, probably the weirdest
North American Sega Saturn release!
Y'know, this is an awfully suggestive sounding episode
what with Sexy Parodius
and Mr. Bones.
What next?
An actual lewd game or something...nah.
Though we are looking at something quite dirty
because y'know what's something that
was really lacking in the North American Sega Saturn library?
Well, y'know.
For this next entry,
we're talking about something that may or may not get my channel banned:
The Yakyuken Special!
This is another Japanese-exclusive game,
and it pretty much comes down to
strip rock, paper, scissors!
(Weird Dance Music)
Look at that dancing!
So what's the plot of The Yakyuken Special?
Well get this:
imagine this,
you're an incredibly lonely guy
with no access to the internet
and you want a way to get your rocks off on the weekend.
So what do you do if you own a Sega Saturn?
You buy the likes of The Yakyuken Special!
This is a game in only the lightest of terms
because this is strip rock, paper, scissors!
First, a girl dances!
A girl of your choice!
There's like 12 different girls,
and then from there
you play rock, paper, scissors.
It's all completely random with
the "A" button being rock,
"B" being paper,
"C" being scissors,
or something like that because literally that's it!
That's it!
That's your controls!
That's everything in the game!
And, if you win,
she'll remove an article of clothing.
And, if you lose,
she just looks at you disdainfully and
I guess you, then, remove an article of clothing.
I don't really think this game is for me
and I don't really think it'd do particularly well nowadays.
I mean if you disagree,
leave your thoughts in the comment section below
though I know that certainly after finishing this video
I need to play something more wholesome.
Maybe some Super Mario Odyssey.
I feel dirty just looking at this last game.
Are there any really odd, strange Sega Saturn games
or even just games in general that you think I should take a look at?
Well let me know down in the comment section below
and while you're at it why don't you subscribe to Stuff We Play
for more great content like this.
And if you aren't subscribed to him already,
why don't you go subscribe
to RGT 85?
Thank you tons dude
for coming along for today's video!
Mr. Bones is actually a game
that I've never played
and one that I really want to take a look at now
because it actually looks quite good despite how weird it is.
But, I'm just starting to ramble at this point.
So with that,
thank you very much for watching,
stay classy,
and I'll see you...
next time.
