valk reacts to Nintendo Direct 6.18.2024 (June 18th, 2024) valkiriforce 2024-06-18 | Well here we are finally with another Nintendo Direct - and possibly the last one for the Switch? Who knows...either way, I had fun doing another one of these, so I hope you enjoy it!
valk plays Hagane: The Final Conflict valkiriforce 2024-06-14 | Behold, it's Contra with a sword! Well actually it's Hagane...an awesome action-packed cyborg ninja title for the Super Nintendo with some set piece action and wonderful boss battles. Don't miss this hidden classic for the original SNES! Also I apologize for the epilepsy caused by those bombs...
valk plays Street Fighter II Turbo valkiriforce 2024-06-04 | So here we are finally after months of inactivity from playing more Super Nintendo titles - I actually recorded this in early March and got super busy for a while, so here it is after so long. I tried picking something I'm not too good at for a little more mixed results just for fun, so I hope you all enjoy it!
valks SNES games update! valkiriforce 2024-05-30 | Hello! It's time for an update video on the SNES collection - I've got about 15 more titles to show for it, and a bonus which really isn't a bonus (whoops!)I have another video in the works which has been lingering since early March - I hope to get that one out soon, so stay tuned!
valk plays Mega Man X3 valkiriforce 2024-02-28 | Here we are, ladies and gentlemen...the last of the X games for the Super Nintendo! It's the title that had long evaded me for many years until the previous decade, and it's here now to conclude the wonderful Mega Man X trilogy for the SNES. I had a great time revisiting these games for the occasion of a proper YouTube playthrough - I hope you all kick back for this better-quality episode and enjoy the show!
valk plays Mega Man X2 valkiriforce 2024-02-08 | Here it is - the next addition in the SNES Mega Man X trilogy! I'm happy to have this one uploaded in a decent timeframe, and I hope it won't be too long before I get around to playing X3 next. Have fun and enjoy today's episode in revisiting the classics for the Super Nintendo!
valk plays Mega Man X valkiriforce 2024-01-29 | Here we are finally with a new video! This time it's another one of my childhood classics for the Super Nintendo, Mega Man X. I'm looking forward to playing the other entries for the SNES and I hope you enjoy this episode! Also, sorry I had to upload this again - my voice audio seemed to get more quiet for some reason as the video went on, and the sound effects were a bit loud at times, so I tried to fix it up for a new upload. Hopefully it won't be as long before I upload more content again, but for now I hope you enjoy the show!
valk reacts to Nintendo Direct 9.14.23 (September 14th, 2023) valkiriforce 2023-09-14 | Well, here's a little something different from the norm for me - I don't do reaction videos, but I sort of regretted not doing it last time when they announced that Super Mario RPG remake, so I gave it a go this time - did not disappoint! I almost passed up on it but I'm glad I decided to give it a shot at least once, it was actually pretty fun. Still gotta figure out future content though!I hope you enjoy the video!
valk plays Super Buster Bros. valkiriforce 2023-04-21 | Anyone remember this game? It was a spontaneous pickup from my childhood that I loved to play now and then - and here I'm ready to play it again for all of you! It seems to be a forgotten Capcom classic, but maybe someday it'll make a proper comeback on modern platforms. One can only hope...
valk plays Super Metroid valkiriforce 2023-03-23 | Finally, after months of inactivity here is another SNES playthrough from yours truly - I'm glad I was able to get this one out before the month of March was over, as it was starting to look like the editing process would take a very long time (especially considering this is my longest playthrough yet). Anyway, here we are with another childhood classic of mine, Super Metroid - lots of interconnectivity and creative boss battles make this an exciting entry in the classic franchise. I'm uncertain what will come after this, but hopefully this longer playthrough can hold things over until I figure that out. Enjoy!
valk plays Axelay valkiriforce 2022-11-09 | FINALLY! This one was a very long time coming, since I'd actually recorded this side-to-side with Contra III. I was repeatedly delayed throughout last month and was finally able to get the time to put some real work into this video.Anyway, it's another all-time childhood classic and favorite of mine - this time in the space shooter category: Axelay! It's a relief to finally get this one out there - I hope you all enjoy it!
valk plays Contra III: The Alien Wars valkiriforce 2022-10-14 | HERE IT IS - the ultimate game of my childhood finally gets an appropriate playthrough from yours truly. This is one of my biggest go-to titles on the Super Nintendo I grew up with, so I'm happy to give it the proper attention on my channel. This is also a hard mode playthrough since that is typically how I play the game - I hope you all enjoy it!
valk plays Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels valkiriforce 2022-10-01 | H-O-L-Y cow, this took longer to make than I thought, and I was delayed from hurricane Ian from getting this up sooner. Hopefully I'm able to slide in for a late September release!As for the game in question, I think this may be the most entertaining one yet due to my repeated mistakes and failures, so I can't feel too bad when it's this fun to play around with it afterwards. I hope you all enjoy it and stay safe out there!
valk plays Cybernator valkiriforce 2022-09-14 | Here it is! Another good run 'n' gun shooter for the SNES - this time from Konami and centered around mecha-style combat.
valk plays Super Turrican 2 valkiriforce 2022-09-07 | Finally, after a failed recording from two weeks ago that I abandoned (sadly) I decided to give this missed classic a shot - Super Turrican 2! A late release in 1995, this one came close to the end of the Super Nintendo's lifecycle while people were anticipating the next generation of consoles. The only re-release this game has seen was on Nintendo's own virtual console (RIP!) hopefully it comes back someday! Also thanks to KazeChan for letting me use his art on the background frame! [EDIT] So I learned they have two anthology releases for Turrican out now, and the second one includes this game. Mission accomplished!
valks SNES collection valkiriforce 2022-08-19 | I've thought about this one for a long while now...I've always kind of enjoyed watching other people's collection videos but always felt barred from doing it myself for a number of reasons. I guess the inspiration to finally go for it just kind of hit me this week and I wanted to have fun putting this together in a hopefully more interesting fashion rather than a straight upload.Anyway, rambling aside...this is my current collection of SNES/Super Nintendo games. I would say it's mostly curated already, as I much prefer to keep the games I actually play than to just keep building up. Hopefully my voice isn't too boring either!
valk plays Go! Go! Hypergrind for the GameCube valkiriforce 2022-08-12 | Well, technically I'm playing this on the Wii - I used the homebrew channel to play this one as I don't actually have it yet. I'm really hoping to change that with time though as I recall finding a copy for around $20 or so about 10 years ago. Well, I made the mistake of NOT buying it then and now it's skyrocketed in price. Nevertheless, I hope to obtain my own copy someday!
valk plays Strider for the PS1 valkiriforce 2022-08-12 | I was originally playing Strider 2 on camera but the amount of load times made it awkward, so I opted to go for the original arcade Strider instead. Both are great games!
valk plays Buster Bros. Collection for the PS1 valkiriforce 2022-08-12 | Nearly forgot to put some more of these - I wanted to sample this little PS1 gem because it's underrated.
valk plays Solatorobo: Red The Hunter on the DS Lite valkiriforce 2022-08-04 | Just a small sampling of footage - I tried recording this one in the Florida room, but I think the glare speaks for itself...
valk plays Smash Remix for the N64 valkiriforce 2022-07-28 | This was a little more challenging because I had to battle the temptation to lower my hands as combat got more intense - you'll see it throughout the video lolAnyway, I do have a repro cart for Smash Remix I love to play on my N64, so I thought it'd be fun to give this one some screen time. I also use one of my two newer N64 controllers I got off eBay which is restructured from the original and has a GameCube-style joystick. I mostly bought these for the sake of the joystick alone to have something more durable to play with (well, I bought ONE of them...the other was a gift!)
valk plays Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES valkiriforce 2022-07-28 | Well, in my case it's being played on the Classiq N clone console I have, which works pretty nicely. I just thought it would be nice to mix things up with some more gameplay videos to show my standard gaming environment. Also, sorry about the bright light outside - it kind of blows this video's light levels up a bit in places.
valk plays Super Mario 64 DS on his new DS Lite valkiriforce 2022-07-28 | Just a little demonstration video I was inspired to make after watching Retro Bird's content - I wanted to capture the moments of playing on my new DS Lite.

Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP11: The Last Stand valkiriforce 2022-03-10 | This is it! ...The end?Also, I botched the audio last time finishing the last two maps unforunately, so I had to delete them and record them again. Rats!
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP10: Excursions valkiriforce 2022-03-07 | One of my personal favorites in this mapset with the fun hub-style encounters and ideas - quite the surreal journey.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP09: The Forsaken Town valkiriforce 2022-03-07 | Cool special effects level inspired from Requiem - I had fun putting together lots of 3D bridges in classic vanilla style as well as some lesser-seen effects like the swinging door and the fake room-over-room effect.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP08: Ion Station valkiriforce 2022-03-03 | A big non-linear techbase! Always a fun one to revisit.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP07: Woodheart valkiriforce 2022-03-03 | Lots and lots of switches and monsters in this small wooden town, but no less deadly.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP06: Cacoplasm valkiriforce 2022-03-01 | Red rocky caves with lots of cacodemons to take out with rockets and plasma - all the fun stuff!
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP05: Meshing Core valkiriforce 2022-03-01 | A birthday map I made for Phobus in later 2011 - I was surprised at how quickly this one came together.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP04: Outpost Silence valkiriforce 2022-03-01 | Fun kind of trappy setup for this one - I do like the theme of a flooded fortress you have to penetrate.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP03: Fortress valkiriforce 2022-02-22 | Fortress! Um...yes, it's just a fortress. Another early map re-worked for the mapset.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP02: Stratos HQ valkiriforce 2022-02-22 | Another very early map updated to fin in to this map pack. It was another early learning experience for me and it was fun to re-work this one and add lots of new visuals and secrets.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Eternally Yours MAP01: Mezzanine valkiriforce 2022-02-22 | Here we are! The last episode of the Doom Core Trilogy - Eternally Yours. We begin with my first ever map which was heavily reworked as the introduction for this mapset.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP30: Final Doom valkiriforce 2022-02-16 | THIS IS IT - the end! Well, the end of Reverie at least - I still have Eternally Yours to go through after this, which I'm looking forward to!
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP29: Salvation valkiriforce 2022-02-16 | This is it - the map that started it all! I had a dream that inspired the idea of this map, which led to the creation of this whole megawad. Crazy, right?
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP28: Turbine Accelerator valkiriforce 2022-02-16 | A large metal sewer map with a bunch of Final Doom inspirations that went into it - also it was one of the earliest map ideas I had for Reverie along with maps 29 and 30.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP27: Godspeed! valkiriforce 2022-02-13 | Another Living End-type map with more open exploration and other fun ideas.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP26: Fallen Angel valkiriforce 2022-02-13 | A smallish subterranean map with archies and pain elementals!
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP25: Sever Tomorrow valkiriforce 2022-02-10 | Got quite the blend of influences in this one! It was also the last map to be made for Reverie.

Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP23: Cyclone Rider valkiriforce 2022-02-08 | Title sounded cool and all that...plus I wanted to do some crazy arena stuff to start out!
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP22: Egyptian Plains valkiriforce 2022-02-08 | Basically inspired from the title idea, I guess.
Doom Core Trilogy Playthrough - Reverie MAP21: Sunrise valkiriforce 2022-02-08 | A hard entry into episode 3 - this one killed me a few times before I got a successful recording. I almost wanted to include the deaths, but it was feeling a little stretched out again so I went back to single-segment attempts.
