BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've been on YouTube for under a year now just figuring out the direction I want to head with my channel. I was using NintendoAge as a research tool before it went down, but for my latest video (attached) I did a ton of research here on Video Game Sage with a handful of awesome people. Really love the community here. I've got 7 videos out now and 3 podcasts. My latest video covers a game so rare that most people assumed it didn't exist. Enjoy! Thank you for the support.

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) The thumbnail says it all. Did a bunch of research and came up with 10 series that made the switch from 3D to 2D. I will just include the list as “spoilers” at the end in case you’re just interested in getting info quickly. Enjoy! Spoiler Turok had four 2D games: 1 on Game Boy, 2 on Game Boy Color, and 1 on GBA. Assassin’s Creed’s first 2D game was Discovery on DS. Yooka-Laylee’s first game was obviously 3D, and the Impossible Lair is a 2D spin-off title. The Pikmin series was 3D for most of its life until Hey! Pikmin in 2015, a 2D platformer. Chibi-Robo’s story is similar to Pikmin, it’s first 2D game was Zip Lash. Tomb Raider has 2D games on the Game Boy Color. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six started in 1998, there was a a GBC game titled “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six” and the GBA’s “Rogue Spear” which actually seems like pretty uncommon CIB title. Batman Arkham games were 3D but Arkham Origins Blackgate was a 2.5D platformer. Mario Party had its first 2D title on the GBA. Fullmetal Alchemist started out as a 3D Action-RPG exclusive to the PS2. The GBA had a couple of RPG’s in Japan that you may consider 2D. They were Sonata if Memory and Stray Rondo. If not, there was Dream Carnival, a Japanese exclusive 2D fighter on PS2. And if you still wanted another one, Dual Sumpathy was a beat em up on the DS. Edited April 29, 2020 by thatgamernerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin532 | 467 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hey man, just want to say you have a neat channel. I had heard the Dexter/Power Puff game was rare but I've never seen it. Those GBA boxes with a bottom flap don't have a date code on them otherwise I would say you could use it to match the date on the game. Hopefully someone opens a sealed copy one day. It probably won't be me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting about the data code, can you go into more detail on that? I just checked the bottom of my Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and I see 7144030, is that the type of code you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thanks. That also means a lot to me. Interesting. I wonder if the bottom flap boxes have dates after all? Can I see a pic of it? So on boxes with the locking tabs, there is a 5 digit code on the top tabs which translates to Y/MM/DD. So a code of 30507 would mean 2003 May 7.

Oh, I misunderstood you I think. I thought you were talking about the bottom of the box having a code, which my Crash Bandicoot does. Here's an image from eBay (because I'm feeling lazy, lol). The very bottom right of this image, on the bottom of the box, is the code I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdDogGaming | 218 Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 It's that time of the year which means episode 9 of The Unlockable Podcast is all about games that terrified Hannah and I growing up (as well as in the last five years) that probably shouldn't have. I can't be the only one who thought that eel in Mario 64 was absolutely horrifying. The show is currently on Apple Podcasts, Anchor, Pocket Casts, and YouTube.
