WOW!!! Last Alert voice-acting

[Tatsujin]

did we had that before?

Our visual tribute to voice-acting highlights—well, voice-acting lights of some sort—debuts with a look at 1989’s Last Alert.

I'd heard a lot about that, and it was on my list - but I recently picked up Red Alert for a pittance, and the US version is generally a lot more expensive.  I have to say, it's not a bad game, but for some reason it makes me hold down the buttons way too tight.

The concept, presentation and execution of that video was superb! I love that old fellow (our host).

But, surprisingly, the video does not incorporate much dialogue from the game itself! Just a few in-game encounters with bosses... Lord knows Last Alert has plenty more (plus the cinema scenes). I wish they included at least a few more lines of dialogue (would it hurt to use a second excerpt from a cinema?).

Still, this was a great video.

I promise you: you have not experienced ecstasy until you have experienced Last Alert.

I think I made somewhat of a haiku with my post!

Haha Valis III sure isn't to far off from that.  For the Japanese speakers here how does the pc-engine version compare voice wise?  I know just because I can't understand everything they're saying that it's automatically good voice acting.

That guy is awesome!  Thanks for sharing!

Apparently the Japanese were so impressed with Guy Kazama's US voice acting that they got him to voice act for Japanese only games! (Legion, I think he's in Browning too?)

People have said that Turbo CD games like Valis II were actually dubbed in Japan. The Guy Kazama voice actor probably worked in Japan as an actor already and might have even recorded PCE game dialogue in the same studio as for Turbo games.

Never heard of that before, makes a lot of sense.
