breaths in THE BOUNCER
-
PS2’s “we have final fantasy at home”. “IT’S NOT EVEN THE SAME GENRE MOM!”
-
Ah yes, the game where I thought Sora from Kingdom Hearts grew up. 🤣
-
This was back in an era where every single Square protag looked exactly the same with the same spiky hair.
-
The 🅱️ouncer
-
"Decaying fighting game paradigm" .....Bold words to say about a 3D fighter at a time when Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag Tournament were dominating the market.
-
Fun fact this is the last thing Mimi woods who originally voiced major Motoko Kusanagi ever did before she retired
-
The Bouncer is... bizarre, to say the least. It's a game where Proto-Sora Final Fights his way to rescue his robot not!girlfriend from the Shinra Corporation.
-
6 year old me thought the main trio were the coolest looking characters ever
-
"THE BOUNCER". Always love this sting.
-
3:46 as soon as this hit I just said out loud “just say it. I know. I could tell immediately.” “Tetsuya Nomura designed all the main characters” “There it is.”
-
oh how i love Sion, a man haunted by a tragic past. Within him lies strength and kindness, but also a great sorrow. All this will change when he meets a girl named Dominique. These are the residents of DOG STREET: The Bouncer
-
I love this game. It was one of my first ps2 games. The final battle against Duragon C. Mikado was something ill hate forever.
-
If the Bouncer ever came back, all they gotta do is just copy Yakuza/Like a Dragon 100%
-
The Bouncer = Road House meets Final Fantasy
-
I'm honestly kind of shocked to hear that the game didn't sell well. I worked at a Blockbuster Video at the time and the game was always out of stock, with people constantly asking when we were expecting to get them returned.
-
Tetsuya Nomura is like the eternal edgy teenager with his character designs.
-
I played the absolute hell out of this game. DAURAGON C. MIKADO
-
Why does Sion look like an adult Sora ☠
