OniLink99999 2020-04-04 | For more spoiler free impressions (with 60% less rambling) please check out my Twitter @CriticalGamesAU or via: twitter.com/CriticalGamesAUI know it's been a long time since my last unboxing (working on my game '8-Bit Adventures 2' is keeping me busy), but with Australia getting an early release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, I couldn't pass on making a video! I hope it helps to make the wait just a little bit easier for anyone who doesn't have the game yet =) Thanks for watching everyone and hope to see you in future videos soon!
8 Bit Adventures 2 - Development Trailer OniLink99999 2019-12-20 | A sizzle reel showing off footage from the in-development JRPG 8-Bit Adventures 2! Coming to PC in 2020. The footage taken is from a November 2018 build of the game.
Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi (Mega Drive / Genesis) Unboxing OniLink99999 2019-10-03 | One of the stranger entries in the Shinobi series, this Sega Mega Drive / Genesis classic sees Joe Musashi team up with a very good boy to take down an evil crime syndicate in New York! Basically an Arcade adaptation, let's take a look at the PAL version's box, manual and cartridge =)
Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix (Japanese / PS2) Unboxing OniLink99999 2019-09-22 | To celebrate the 17th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts 1's release in the West, today we're looking at the Japan-exclusive Final Mix re-release!

Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64 / N64) Unboxing OniLink99999 2019-09-13 | It's been a long time, but I'm back with one of my favourite multiplayer games on the N64 - the original Mario Tennis! And if you're wondering what I'm up to (or just want to hear my random gaming opinions haha), please check out my Twitter page: twitter.com/CriticalGamesAUI completely forgot to mention the Transfer Pak stuff, by the way! I've never owned the GBC game, so I've never actually done it - sorry about that XD
Super Smash Bros Ultimate (Nintendo Switch) Unboxing OniLink99999 2018-12-24 | Merry Christmas everyone! =D
Bomberman 64 (Nintendo 64 / N64) Unboxing OniLink99999 2018-10-05 | Yep, I'm still here! Today we're going to look at one of my favourite Blockbuster rentals in the early 2000s - it's Bomberman 64 for (what else) the Nintendo 64! This game brought the bomber into 3D, and in addition to a fully fledged multiplayer mode introduced a meaty single-player campaign which used Bomberman's skillset in really interesting and unique ways. I highly recommend this if you're looking for something fun and a bit unusual on the N64 =) It's a shame Hudson Soft aren't still around...at least, not in their original form.Oh, and please note that this is the Australian PAL version of the game, by the way.

Panzer Dragoon Sega Saturn (Japanese) Unboxing OniLink99999 2018-02-20 | I love games that use concept artwork as cover art, and Panzer Dragoon's looks spectacular! A pretty quirky package all around, and it does a great job of showing off the series' signature art design =D And here's a fun fact - it's also available on Windows, PS2, and Xbox (as a bonus feature in Panzer Dragoon Orta). They're all obscure and hard to find, though, so the Saturn and Xbox versions are probably your best bet.

So let's get back into the swing of things with Skies of Arcadia - a fantastic, but often overlooked, JRPG for the Sega Dreamcast! Retro Sampler will be a new series where I show off a small portion of an old game while providing a mix of fun facts and my opinions.

Final Fantasy XII Collectors Edition PS2 Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-07-30 | Given the (relatively) recent release of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on PS4, I thought it would be fun to take another look at the original PS2 version. And the US Collector's Edition, no less! =D

Startropics II - Zodas Revenge NES Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-06-05 | NES and SNES games are always the best to unbox =D Startropics II is a really unique game, that was unfortunately only released in the US. I think this franchise could have a lot of potential for a modern reboot on Switch, though. Although at this point, I just want another Metroid game (E3 2017 hype!) =P
Persona 5 - Steelbook Edition PS4 Unboxing (Australian Version) OniLink99999 2017-05-25 | Persona 5 really came out of nowhere for me, but I'm glad I got on the bandwagon. A fantastic turn-based JRPG on the PS4, with a very nice box to boot =D I believe the Steelbook version is sold out now (at least, here in Australia - I almost missed out), but I'm sure it can be found online if you're interested in picking it up.

Golden Sun Dark Dawn DS Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-03-27 | The last game in the Golden Sun franchise - and it has a map! =D While I'm not a big fan of the series in general, I think it'd be interesting to see what Camelot could do on the Switch. Or at least I'd like to see Isaac in Smash Bros. =P
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-03-03 | After four long years of development and several delays, the next main console Zelda game is here! So naturally, we're gonna spend 5 minutes looking at the box/poster/cartridge =P I'm a massive Zelda fan, so Breath of the Wild has been my most wanted game for a while now. And from the first 2 hours I've played, it is phenomenal! =D
Nintendo Switch Console Launch Day Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-03-03 | In a first for the channel, today we're looking at a brand new console - the Nintendo Switch! I'm incredibly excited about this, but how does Nintendo's new hybrid system look on first inspection? Let's find out =D
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness Gamecube Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-02-27 | It's sad to think that only two Pokemon RPGs have been released on home consoles (Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness being the second). And while neither game really delivered on what fans wanted, they're an interesting piece of Pokemon history. And Shadow Lugia's still pretty cool =P Bring on Pokemon Switch!
Paper Mario Colour/Color Splash Wii U Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-02-24 | I'm not really sure how the Paper Mario series ended up where it is, but if nothing else Colour Splash is a step in the right direction after Sticker Star.

Nintendo Switch 2017 Presentation - Thoughts / Impressions / Australian Price Rant! OniLink99999 2017-01-16 | I add my voice to the chorus of Nintendo Switch impressions! But before that, just a couple of things I forgot to mention - Region Locking is dead! It's at least 12 years too late, but hey - fantastic news =D On the flip-side, I'm not a fan of paying to use a console's online functionality, and the fact that you don't get to keep your free games is a pretty tough pill to swallow.Massive thanks to Fabian for the intro! Check his channel out here: youtube.com/channel/UCkEKTJh2obPtGQ0JBGKCnCQ

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3 Unboxing OniLink99999 2017-01-09 | Today we're looking at a legendary PS3 game with an amazing manual!

Wild Arms 2 (PS1) HD Unboxing OniLink99999 2016-11-07 | Also known as 2nd Ignition, Wild Arms 2 is the second game in the Wild West-inspired RPG franchise. While not as good as the first entry in my opinion, it's still a solid RPG with an amazing soundtrack, and I personally consider it one of the best in the series! =D
Shenmue II (Xbox) HD Unboxing OniLink99999 2016-10-24 | Concluding my look at the Shenmue series (that was fast =P), today I'm unboxing Shenmue II on the Xbox. While I don't think it's nearly as good as Shenmue 1, the game definitely has its moments. And if you have the PAL Dreamcast version, you can transfer your save file from the first game, which was pretty ahead of its time! Fingers crossed for Shenmue 3 =D
Pokemon Crystal Version (GBC) HD Unboxing OniLink99999 2016-10-20 | All the Pokemon Sun and Moon news has gotten me excited, so today we're revisiting the world of Pokemon with one of the best games in the series - Pokemon Crystal on the Game Boy Colour!

Not only has it proved a fantastic outlet for creativity and a great way for people to learn about level design, but it's been my favourite 2D Mario experience since Super Mario World =D And on the collector's side of things, well - we've got a fantastic and pretty lengthy art book to explore. So let's get to it!
Shenmue (Dreamcast) HD Unboxing OniLink99999 2016-09-30 | With Shenmue 3 on the way, I've recently been revisiting the series - so it felt like a perfect time to unbox Shenmue 1 and 2 (that one's coming soon!) =D Shenmue's not only the definition of a cult classic, but a very fun and unique experience in its own right. It's not perfect, it's not for everyone, and it's only available on Dreamcast, but if you're in the mood for something different, I'd definitely say give it a go!
Diddy Kong Racing (N64) HD Unboxing OniLink99999 2016-09-26 | This one's been a long time coming! Today we're unboxing another Rareware classic - it's Diddy Kong Racing for the N64!
