Famitsu vs. the Atari Jaguar

Anyone care to draw up at least an outline of what's going on here? I can't figure out a thing despite the video being rather hilarious by itself.

Well, the nut case is called Jaguar and aparently he likes Jaguar items. Got bored after that, sorry. No time to waste on it :lol:

lol. I figured the nutcase in the outfit was a Japanese rockstar or something. Someone posted this over at Jay Smith's JSII and of course none of us can figure a thing they're saying so we're left sitting going "WTF LOL!" without context.

Anyone else want to take a stab at it?

 

The moron in the suit does seem to be a musician...

I'm not the biggest jaguar fan...but I think they were sort of unfair to the system...first Atari Karts...then Kasumi Ninja...bleck. Iron Soldier is the schiznit though...and they really should have played Tempest.

 

Didn't see it all, however, when he goes down the basement things start to get "teh weird"

 

That was hilarious despite the fact that I can't speak Japanese.

 

Yeah, that Jaguar guy seemed like a washed-up glam rocker. All I was thinking as I was looking at him is how dangerous those spiked shoulder-pads must be. Could poke someone's eye out with them.

Anyway, in the game studio, the guy introducing the system said the Jaguar purported to be a 64-bit SYSTEM even if the CPU was only 16-bit.

The guy said Atari Karts is the starter game (the "entrance") for the system. The other guy said, "If that's the entrance, I'm leaving!" Plus, when he got stuck on seemingly invisible obstacles on the track, he said something was funny or wrong with it.

For Kasumi Ninja, they called the Scot's weapon "Dick Fire". Also, the other guy said the only reason to buy the game would be for the headband.

The first guy enjoyed the pinball game, and said he was beginning to like it.

Iron Soldier he said was too difficult and the fight with the robot had no tension or excitement in it.

Any other key points that I missed? Real shame they didn't introduce the biggest hits on the Jaguar. But well, it's meant for comedy anyway.

 

Just watching that video now. THey'Ve just pulled the controler out of the box and start ripping the shit out of it :lol: THe first thing the guy says is "LOOK AT THIS !! OI THIS CONTROLLER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS !" Other guy then says while covering the keypad "This would be a normal controller" then the other guy says "Why do they have these keys (key pad)?" The other guy replies "It looks like a phone's key pad" :lol: Actually this may be funny. I'm going to watch the rest of it.

Atari Karts reminded me ALOT of Mario Kart.

Not sure which game out 1st?

If I was a bit older when that system came out, I would have purchased it. It seems too ridiculed and overlooked. I bet the games are still fun to play.

 

Well, just watched the whole thing. I whish you guys could understand what they were saying. So funny ! Atari Karts and Kasumi Ninja both got ripped plus the guy complained that the pad was useless for pulling off moves. Not a bad 20 minutes wasted after all.

Thanks for the outline, guys. That's f'ing hilarious, and I'm a Jag collector.

 

K, so I finally saw the whole thing...

Honestly I cant blame the japanese dudes, the jaguar was lame even at the time it was released. I think it was the first in the series of "a bitch to program" consoles (saturn, PS2, etc...)

About the show, the production looks like something out of 1991 MTV:lol:

 

of course japanese people are making fun of the jaguar it's a horrible system, american or otherwise

part of even collecting it i would assume would be making fun of it, i got the jag / jag cd set up but only for alien vs. predator and iron soldier and Trevor McFur's gay galaxy or whatever

the video doesn't do justice to kasumi ninja for how horrible it actually is to play

my friend traded me a working jag and i think multitap for "WHITE MEN CANT JUMP best game ever" for 2 packs of cigarettes and i broke it on purpose

BIG MISTAKE I HEAR ITS RARE IN JAPAN

 

I understand only 2,500 Japanese systems were ever released. It took me years to find a Japanese version of Wolfenstein 3D for the Jaguar (as the only difference is a Japanese manual), and there's no known manifest of what other games were ever released there.

And dude, WMCJ is horrible. Just horrible.

 

I bought a Jag a few years back, thinking it must have some quality gaming on it somewhere. I got Tempest 2000 and AvP... Tempest 2000 is Tempest, which is kind of alright but doesn't really do it for me. AvP is a lackluster Doom clone, it looked like a dull version of the windows 95 Maze screensaver and didn't play much better. Point is that neither are killer apps, they are just decent by comparison to everything else on the system - for instance Trevor Mcfur, which, while being graphically impressive on a technical level, has horrible, uninspired gameplay and lacks any visual style or flair. Most of the 3D games on the system attempted far too much and ended up feeling shoddy and unresponsive, and looking crap. The rest appeared to be sloppy ports of PC games that were much better suited to PC (Cannon Fodder, Syndicate, Doom).

I understand why people might want to collect Jaguar, but I really don't understand who'd want to play it. Am I missing something?

 

*raises hand*


I'll admit it. I liked the Jaguar. My Dad loves the Jaguar(he plays Alien vs. Predator all the time, though nowhere near as much as he plays Total Annihilation). I had a blast with Alien vs. Predator, Iron Soldier I+II, Ultra Vortek, I-War, Attack of the Mutant Penguins (ESPECIALLY this one), the Pinball game, Flip!(or something like that), Zool 2, Battlesphere Gold, probably some other games I don't remember.


While watching the video I kept wondering if one day G4 would bust into my house "THIS GUYS LIKES TEH SEGA SATURN!!!!! ZOMG!"

 

Give me a call then, so I can cap a bullet up their arses:rambo:

Saturn rules:nod:
