\"\"<\/a>I\u2019m not really a fan of most video game YouTubers.\u00a0 Many seem like just young punks just yelling profanities into the microphone, and spending more time talking about games rather than playing them.\u00a0 Plus I\u2019m just jealous that they\u2019re stealing all my thunder (hey at least I\u2019m honest).\u00a0 But there are a few I can stand.\u00a0 One of them is John Riggs.\u00a0 He talks mostly about retro games and seems to be about the same age as me with the same experiences with video games in the past, so he\u2019s relatable.\u00a0 And he made his own homebrew game and I got to review it!\u00a0 (Switch version reviewed here)<\/p>\n

So the story goes that back in the NES days, there was a game listing in a print catalog for upcoming titles.\u00a0 On this list was a title called Yeah Yeah Beebiss.\u00a0 But nothing was heard of about the game since.\u00a0 The game reviewed here is the sequel to that unknown title!\u00a0 Yeah, I dunno.\u00a0 Seems kind of like how that time Capcom created a made up story of how Dark Void Zero on DS was a long lost PlayChoice 10 title<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 But what do I know?<\/p>\n

Anyway, in this game you play as one of two Jiangshi.\u00a0 What are those, you might ask?\u00a0 Well, they\u2019re mythical Chinese vampire zombie ghost things, and they appear in many video games.\u00a0 You might\u2019ve fought them in the NES Phantom Fighter game, or even stomped on them in Super Mario Land.\u00a0 Probably the most famous one in video games is Hsien-Ko, a cute fighter from the DarkStalkers series.\u00a0 I guess if I had to pick a favorite character from those games, she\u2019d be it.\u00a0 Anyway here you play as one of two Jiangshi as you defeat enemies in single screen areas under a strict time limit before going to the next level.\u00a0 Kind of reminds me of a spooky Bubble Bobble.<\/p>\n

One of the characters shoots out a lightning blast in front of him, while the other shoots some sort of life force beam.\u00a0 But they\u2019re both about the same.\u00a0 You can hold down the button and continuously fire the blast as you move around, as well as jump.\u00a0 In each level are roving enemies that look like masks, seahorses, and floating eyeballs with different attack patterns.\u00a0 Your job is to clear the screen of these baddies before the time runs out.\u00a0 If you let the time run out or deplete your energy by getting hit too much, you\u2019ll lose a life.\u00a0 Lose all your lives and it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 Sometimes enemies will drop power-ups that\u2019ll activate when you collect them, like point boosts, more time, energy refills, and more.\u00a0 One or two players can go at it at the same time in co-op mode, too.<\/p>\n

There are a few neat extras, like being able to view the fictional box art and printed manual.\u00a0 I would\u2019ve liked to have seen more added to this game to warrant the price, though.\u00a0 Like maybe an endless mode where you didn\u2019t have to worry about a time limit, or more power-ups like speed-ups or long range shots.\u00a0 Or more original music that wasn\u2019t just jazzed up chiptune versions of classical songs.\u00a0 But if you like homebrew games, you might want to check this one out.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2 is rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Mild Blood.\u00a0 You zap enemies that disappear when defeated, but I didn\u2019t notice any blood.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed, but younger players may find the game too difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
