Let's Talk About Kamen Rider Kuuga on PS1 (and Tokusatsu in general)
21#LetsTalkAbout #KamenRiderKuuga #Tokusatsu
With the dreary town of Silent Hill behind him, Noah Campbell, once a stunt double for Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue, wakes up his hero for Kamen Rider Kuuga. Will the PS1 fighter be a worthy successor to the show it's based on? Is Noah more than capable of button mashing? These answers and more will be probably answered.
Heads up, the actual game section of this video is relatively short compared to the massive history tab detailing the rise of Tokusatsu as a genre and some of the franchises apart of it. Take this as you will. Also, this is a re-edited version of the original video, having to take out some of the Godzilla clip otherwise this video was blocked everywhere. Thus have some old Godzilla: DAMM footage. Oh and the gag at the end about subscribers is wrong since I'm at 300 now (thank you still).
