Frogs Make the Best Video Game Characters

From arcade classics like Frogger, to ‘90s JRPG royalty like Chrono Trigger, to modern indie platformers like Big Hops, Marty is thoroughly convinced that frogs make for the absolute best animal-based video game characters. Music used in order of appearance: Curiosity – Frog Fractions OST Main Menu – Big Hops OST Thunder Harvest – Spiritfarer OST Pearl's Shrine – Crypt Custodian OST Firefly Swamp 1 – Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue OST If you dig these kinds of video essays, consioder supporting us over on Patreon -- https://www.patreon.com/SecondWindGroup Second Wind Merch: https://store.dftba.com/collections/second-wind https://sharkrobot.com/collections/second-wind

Cheers Marty! Great editing job Jess, lots of different gameplay sections shown off with no obvious repitition *claps* I feel like there needed to be an explainer for the Swiss parade at the end though haha.

I was gonna write out frog's theme in vocables, but that's too much work

I’ve never played Kingdom Hearts, but that would change if they added the Muppets

Sounds fun. Can it be played without understanding the texts? My kids would probably love this, but we are not native speakers and they are only 6 and 8, so it's always a question if they can comprehend it without constant guiding

No Frog Detective? Those croakybois can scoot.

I feel like toads give off strong hobbit vibes. A frog is more likely to hear the call to adventure. A toad is probably very proud of his vegetable garden. Probably a nice guy, but he’s squarely in helpful NPC territory.

The only Game Theory video I'll willingly watch is the one about how Frogger takes place in Australia and stars our Green Tree Frog. I believe every word. Is funny how frogs and toads have their own kinda legacy and association mostly from British children's fiction; The Wind in the Willows, Frog and Toad Are Friends and all. Being cute and inoffensive amphibians may give them a particular niche as creatures not particularly out of place in any environment yet not masters of any of them, making for ideal underdogs. Japan has its own associations with frogs, there's a reason Froakie evolves into a ninja. And also is introduced in the games set in Poke-France. It's funny the national stereotypes you can get away with when the nationality in question just mostly finds it cool.

9/10 no mention of Frinos. Hades II best boy.
