Ape Escape 3 [European Version] All Monkeys Playthrough (Archive*)
18*NOTE: This is an unedited archive of a live no-commentary playthrough originally streamed on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/bippoernesti), which means there may be deaths, restarts or intermissions/interruptions.
As I stated in the stream description, this game has its own English localization and voice work, separate from the US release. I especially like Dr. Tomuki's (Tomoki/Tomouki) voice acting in this version. They didn't redub Mesal Gear Solid, if you were wondering.
In this playthrough, all 434 normal monkeys and the 8 secret ones are captured. As you may notice, the secret passwords are also different depending on region. I also display some additional stuff at the end, just for fun, like Sayaka's (Yumi) boss cutscenes, and the Simian Cinema files.
The game gets rough during Midnight Bayside, dropping frames heavily. It could be my console starting to show its age, or it was always that bad and I just didn't realize it back then.
Finally finishing off the main Ape Escape series (sans OTL, but maybe in the future). Surprisingly, I beat it significantly faster than 2, and very slightly faster than 1. Felt nice to return to this game after all this time which, according to my save data, has been... 15 years? Criminy, how time flies.

Stream Title: Monkey Esconkey 3: As Simian on TV
Live Notification: MONKEY 👉
Stream Description: "All (442) monkeys playthrough of the European version of Ape Escape 3. Some of the frame drops will probably be from the capture hardware, but other times it will be the game itself. This is being played on an actual PS2, using a near-scratchless disc. Assuming things go smoothly, the stream should take around 8.5 to 9 hours.
Like with the previous titles in the series, the PAL version has its own localization and dub.
This has been a long time coming. I meant to do it as early as 2 years ago, but never got around to it. Sorry, no Mesal Gear Solid... this time."
