    Nitro introducing me to obscure games is something I will never stop enjoying.
  • Good to see that platformers are still thriving. So much creativity and personality goes into them
  • @KHAce
    Fun Fact: Toree 3D and Super Kiwi 64 are made by the same developer. He releases new stuff all the time, and they've all been pretty solid. You can get his whole library for under $10.
  • I'm surprised no one brings up that Clive's single and high jump animation is very much like jak's jump from jak and daxter
  • @Pridetoons
    Thank You Nitro Rad for your coverage of Platformers!
  • @Leron...
    As someone who quite literally one month ago spent a solid 45 minutes tracking down a single opal on Rex Marks the Spot in Ty the Tasmian Tiger, I really appreciate that being the clip you used to express the struggle
  • @cyanflower
    not knowing what could potentially lurk in Sephonie's world after what happens in both Anodynes has me really interested in finding out what's going on myself
  • @ElioHosri
    i love the new format nitro i would love a 1 hour special
  • @lunaline9657
    the glide animation in Clive N' Wrench gives me Whiplash vibes. Love it
  • @_Klonoa_
    Hell Pie was absolutely amazing and I am so glad you are talking about it. It's my favorite of modern platformers along with hat in time and demon turf. Also so happy to see whiplash get mentioned
  • Super Kiwi 64 and Toree 3D were actually made by the same developer, Siactro! I've been following him and I'm looking forward to more projects!
  • Mmm, that Super Kiwi 64 aesthetic is very to my tastes. Especially the casually creepy N64 stuff. "Wow game, you sure are eerie." "Yea" "You gonna try to scare me?" "Nah" Definitely one of my favorite vibes.
  • @alexevaldez
    Nitro Rad your videos are an inspiration to us indies. I love how you mentioned Clive was being made back in the days with the help of this channel. And right now im brainstorming if I should do a 3d Platformer and then you posted this video. <3
  • @BynineStudio
    thanks so much for the plug for Cavern of Dreams, James!!! i can't wait for you and everyone to see the full release. and i'm very excited to see you dive back into retro games! so many interesting things to discover
  • @VonFirflirch
    The little side bar at the end of every showcase is VERY welcome :D
  • @skapokonroll
    The Clive 'n Wrench "wall of old game boxes" really caught me off guard because when I saw that there was a game called Wally Wombat, my mind went "oh, a reference to Willy Wombat, Crash Bandicoot's original name" And then you showed a real game called Willy Wombat that I've literally never heard of Also shoutouts to that easter egg for referencing the Pixar PS1 platformers. They're some of my favorites of that generation.
  • @TheIronKoala
    When Mr. Rad talks about 3D platformers you will find me shoveling them into my wishlists like my life depended on it
  • So I’ve been watching you for maybe about three years now. I was at a very low point in my life and your channel helped me through it immensely. I went through your entire catalogue at the time, and frequently revisited it. I still do turn your older stuff on if I ever need a casual thing to listen to. From the intro, to the outro music. The way you narrate the videos and especially the games you cover. This whole channel feels downright nostalgic to me. Thank you for everything you do man.
  • Sephonie really is a very special game, even if it isn't for everyone. Its story can be so deeply personal at times that I feel kinda bad I don't love it as much as Anodyne 2 - but for anyone who loves indie games and really looks for the artsy side of the medium, you really owe it to yourself to check it out.
