/vr/ is such a shithole

>>6489831
Why did you made this thread?

>>6489841
To talk about Blues Brothers 2000 on the Nintendo64

>>6489831
what the fuck

>>6489831
Why is Luigi's Mansion in the background?

Let me guess, it was covered by some eceleb?

http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2012/08/who-is-richard-del-medio-kusoge.html

>>6489887
Because Luigi's Mansion was created by the 130-year-old voodoo witch, Queen Moussette.

>Platform releases: MS-DOS, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, C64, Atari ST, NES, SNES, Game Boy
Man I didn't knew that this game got released on other systems.

>>6489831
Because tragically, John Belushi died before video games made a come back

Because every kid DEMANDED IT!

>>6489831
Because there was going to be a Blues Brothers animated series. Dan Akroyd likes money.

>>6489831
they didn't. besides sharing the name, the movie and the game have nothing to do with each other

>>6489971
This right here. This was years before the lucrative crystal skull vodka market opened up.

>>6489949
Real reason right here.

>>6489906
Yes by your favourite one, can't believe you have missed it

Wow this sucks, it's just an Amiga shovelware platformer copypasted onto the SNES.

>>6489831
Here's your answer.

>>6489831
Because Blues Brothers already was a gaming franchise in the 16 bit days.

They ruined my boy RoboCop

I remember watching the movie as a kid and it had a vaguely surreal feel to it. What was it about again?

>>6490749
Seriously. RoboCop should be the easiest goddamn property to adapt, but Titus and Ocean fucked it up big time (twice, in Ocean's case).

>>6490780
I'm assuming one of those Ocean games you're referring to is Robocop 3..?

>>6489926
I had the Amiga version. It wasn't a great game, though it wasn't terrible. My suspicion is that they thought they could make money off a cheap licence and a cheap game.

I've still got my repro "It's 106 miles to Chicago..." poster that I bought at uni (in 199x) though!

>>6490761
>What was it about again?
It was a cross between SNL, a buddy road-trip movie, a jukebox musical - and Carrie Fisher spends the whole film trying to kill John Belushi while they're driving around meeting big name musicians, getting the band back together, and generally causing chaos.

Also, Illinois Nazis.

skibbity beep-baap~
that song is catchy

>>6489915
>Ma'am, we're the Blues Brothers. We do blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, funk, soul. We can handle rock, pop, country, heavy metal, fusion, hip-hop, rap, Motown, operetta, show tunes, in fact, we've even been called upon, on occasion, to do a polka. However, Caribbean is a type of music, I regret to say, which has not been, is simply not, nor will ever be, a part of this band's repertoire.

>>6490514
Looks like Skunny the Squirel

>>6491609
Dats racist.

>>6490514
They asked to censor Evil Zone of all things, Yuke should have handled that to Bamco they would have done better than this

>>6489831
I recognize Dan Ackroyd’s character but who on earth is the blonde guy?

>>6489831
So I could jack off to the low poly John Goodman.

>>6491763
Buster Blues

>>6490798
Carrie Fisher wasn't in Blues Brothers 2000; you're thinking of the good one.

>>6489831
They were french, what do you expect
They do their own thing against any common sense

>>6491856
At least they localized pic related. God knows this is one of the most absurd Japanese games ever allowed on Western shores.

this game actually crashed and I wasn't even trying to break it lol

>>6491825
"The good one"? If they ever made another movie, I've totally blanked it from my memory - and, that being the case, it must've been a real steaming turd.

>>6490514
Titus? What the fuck is that?

>>6491865
Probably trying to cash in on the weeb craze of that era. But that's why I love the PS1. It had so many obscure gems like this.

>>6493262
The guy from Final Fantasy.

>>6490798
Yeah. The only good thing about Robocop 3 on the NES was its music.

>>6493262
LJN of the 5th console generation.

>CEO demands x licensed games per fiscal year
>Find license that sells for $100 and a case of Miller

Tada

>>6489831
I remember really liking this game as a kid. I'm too afraid to replay it now in case it was actually shit

>>6493526
Never played the NES version, but the Amiga version was cringe. Was there a good one?

>>6493543
I'm playing it now because i remember seeing ads for the game as a kid and wanting to play it because it looked like banjo-kazooie, and all I can say is that it's the embodiment of an "okay game".
It's not terribly good or awfully bad. just ok all-around.

>>6493750
Not really. The only good retro RoboCop games were the Data East titles, and RoboCop vs. Terminator on the Genesis/MD. SNES version was butchered like always.

>>6493760
Had a similar experience. Not worth hating it.

This game is a fucking shit show. I played through it for my youtube channel, and it almost the worst N64 game I've played yet.

>>6493997
I had to laugh - the first Data East Robocop says "Licensed from Ocean Software Ltd". Does that mean it got ported from home computers to the arcade? Their Robocop 2 and that Mega Drive title look pretty decent though!

So some faggot could make a shitty thread 20 years later.

>>6493997
>RoboCop vs. Terminator on the Genesis/MD
this one sucks, the SMS version is decent
>also not includeing Robocop 3 (C64)

>>6492291
The original Blues Brothers, you dope. It's a classic.

>>6496451
That's what I mean. There is no "good one" - there's just The Blues Brothers. Great movie, classic, fun...

If there's a "bad one", someone at the Ministry of Truth memory-holed it. Capisce?

>>6496463
Ah, I gotcha.

When people talk about Blues Brothers games they almost never talk about the platformer by Titus, and I mean the first platformer on MsDOS and Amiga. There's NES version too but I haven't played it. It's actually pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SnNHuWVJY8
Fuck the other games, though. And fuck the other movie too.

>>6493760
I was actually hyped for this game when I saw it on magazines because I loved the first movie, but I never had N64 so I never got to play it.

>>6489926
ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK N' ROLL

>>6496497
You know, the DOS version looks pretty good. I was going to say the Amiga version was superior because it had both music and sound effects, but I just watched about 3 minutes of Amiga gameplay and the sound effects are tinny and annoying.

Guess that's how memory cheats, eh?

But it is definitely a good, fun platformer. Despite being an oddball licence I think I'm going to have to grab DOSBox and indulge in some nostalgia.

Wasn't there an article where one of the devs of this game said that he really hated working on this game?

>>6493262
the guy who had the cross

>>6498884
Yes.

I dont know but you are now remembering the smell of blockbuster as you look at mario 64 on the shelf

dan aykroyd was hoping for a huge revival with blues brothers 2000, there was also an animated show in the works, new merchandise, etc - of course when the movie bombed all that went out the window

i'm surprised the game was released at all, a whole two years after the movie at that

>>6500439
>i'm surprised the game was released at all, a whole two years after the movie at that
It happens with game licenses though. I mean, take Alien Resurrection...

>>6500439
My local rental had one BB2K VHS on display. I don't think anyone ever rented it because it was always available and it didn't move an inch until that store eventually closed down years later.
I'm probably the only retard in my area who's ever paid to watch that piece of shit.

>>6489831
based on what?

>>6500439
is this still lost media?

>>6502342
yeah, apparently over half the season was completed before they pulled the plug and is probably just rotting away in a warehouse somewhere

That show seems like something I would have loved as a kid. It seems to be revolving around the original movie instead of the sequel which is weird because it's like watching the ghost of Belushi speaking through a cartoon, but also wise because it's the better movie.

>>6502651
That and the Aliens cartoon... someone has got to dig them up.
