Perhaps the strangest premise for any N64 game, Blues Brothers 2000 lets players control Dan Aykroyd as they punch skeletons in a 3D graveyard. What exactly is this game, why does it exist, and how does it adapt the movie? In this episode, we get into things.

    Why does this game look like the 64DD version of Mother 3 lol
  • @dallinengberson8212
    no wonder blockbuster went out of business if they were making deals like that
  • @HenryNooney
    Great content for all the Blues Brothers 2k heads out there.
  • @jackcphelps
    probably the real video game with the most "30 Rock cutaway" energy

    Woot! Your Quest 64 video was great, and now I'm sure you've got the content type that I want. You've entered my consistent list. I hope to see you skyrocket in subs! The information you gave on the background of the game's existence and the Blues Brothers was excellent as someone who only knew them from the first movie.

    10:54 i would like to note that nuts & bolts is really good actually

    Great video! I first heard of this game through a podcast but I didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole of weirdness went
  • @stevep9177
    I have to wonder if this was intended to be part of a different franchise, and then got blues brothers slapped onto it for purely business reasons
  • @IronMan3582
    I remember this, but I didn't remember ever seeing it on store shelves...now I know why

    Discovered your channel with the Quest 64 video (and subbed), and this one's right up my alley too! Love finding out about obscure classic games like this, and you covered it really well =)
  • @LinkmeetsMario
    To be honest, I thought this game was a weird horror ARG rather than a playable video game when I first heard of its existence. Like Petscop but with the Blues Brothers.

    I discovered your channel when i read a comment you left on some other small media analysis channel about a year ago and you've become one of my favorite channels on Yt, hard to believe you still have less than 5,000 subs, keep up the great work and hopefully the algorithm will increase your reach soon
  • @neonkenomi320
    The real conspiracy is whether or not if this game shared assets with Earthbound 64.
  • @sonicguyver7445
    Weird. I remember seeing that game for sale an Meijers. Like everyone else my first that was, "Why? Who asked for this?"
  • @seth5362
    I feel like you should try to tie together these documentary style videos with your podcast like videos into an rlm type video. Feels like it might do well.

    holy crap! first off. great video keep it up 🗣second this may be worse than Superman 64. Heres a thought it's conceptually worse than Superman 64 because although we expect a commercial IP such as Superman to get a game (Batman on ps1, etc.), movie-tie in games are the pinnacle of soulless corporate slop also known as content. Its a extra stench it writhes from that Superman 64 restrains from. And even though Superman is built terribly, at least it doesn't further remove itself from its source. Good find!
