So today I found out what a Cassowary is lol

Everyone in the comments: "He is a Cassowary not an Ostrich"

Me: "Did he just call that Cockatoo a pigeon?"

So this video is basically Nitro Rad standing in front of Tys House with a boom box, playing an old love song and trying to convince him that he is sorry

From now on, you'll get tagged on social media whenever someone calls Boss Cass a Cassowary, with people saying stuff like "But didn't Nitro Rad say he was an Ostrich?"

The thing that charmed me about the HD Remaster was just how passionate the devs were about their IP. I even had one of them commenting on my screenshots, a nobody like me? That's kinda awesome. I even made a post about a graphical glitch with the skybox during the final fight that I wasn't sure if it was like that in the original or not. Not a day or two later, the issue was fixed, even acknowledged my post for helping them catch that.


For a dev (or group of devs) to go back, remaster all 3 of their 'mediocre' little platforming games, port them over to PC and Switch with more love and care than I've ever seen of a triple A developer with both tweaks and nice little needless, but helpful additions (the weapon wheel would never have even crossed my mind as something worth adding and yet they did it anyway) is just incredibly wholesome to me. It's that passion for games and the art that I really wish more developers got to express.

I know im late, but it has been nice, hell wonderful, finding a person on YouTube making positive videos and not just trashing on games.

This should be called Ty the Tasmanian Tiger: Nitro Rad HD

you just gotta love just how AUSTRALIAN this game is. Every character is an animal unique to Australia, every location based on an aussie location, most of the collectibles and items inspired by things australia is famous for (opals, boomerangs, the story mcguffins inspired by aboriginal art etc).

A bad reviewer: "This sucks!!"

Nitro Rad, a good reviewer: "This sucks! But here's a suggestion on how it could be done better, and a well-known example of it being done better to make that suggestion easy for the audience to visualize and understand."

"I decided I didn't just want to be another YouTube funny man. I wanna be somebody who just talks about the things I find interesting." And that's why I love your channel. So many people just do the same things, even if they don't enjoy or care about it. And it becomes obvious. Every time I watch one of your videos, though, it becomes immediately clear that you're actually invested in what you talk about. Hell you've made me invested in some things I'd never heard of. Please, keep doing what you love.

"The bad guys are lizards, but the guy in charge is an ostrich."

Facepalm So close, Rad.

Boss Cass is actually, not to be funny, a Cassowary. Smaller than an Ostrich, they're found within the tropical forests of New Guinea, Maluka Islands, and Northeast Australia. Most specifically, he might be a Southern Cassowary. They tend to be MUCH more aggressive than Emu or Ostriches. An Emu will follow you out of curiousity and will only really attack if you're a threat. An Ostrich is more assertive and will keep toward it's nest, but if you keep your distance, they tend to be only slightly wary of you. A Cassowary, on the other hand, is a straight up bastard. If you even come CLOSE to their territory, they tend to charge at you and kick with their dangerous feet, lash out with their heads, and generally attack without mercy or hesitation.

Nitro Rad: calls Ty a tiger, says Boss Cass is an ostrich, calls Maurie a pigeon
Me: This is either a gag or this man genuinely doesn’t know his animals, I cannot tell

“Australian Boomer”

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 is getting a remaster for Switch, Xbox One and PS4 in July 2021.

It can't be linked to, but Krome Studios has a KCKSTATR for it that will be over in 4 hours. If you can, show your support for it and help it reach it's last milestone.

This game is super underrated
And the real life Tasmanian tiger is sadly extinct :(

My parents bought me this and the second game as a kid purely because we both had the same name. (My legal name is Ty, not Tyler.) I sunk untold hours into the two. Never did do the third.

Finally, a remake to Ty things all together

To be fair, every amateur Youtube critic was still trying to be the Angry Video Game Nerd in 2014. Nonetheless, great redux! Are you also planning to update some of your other early reviews (like Gex)?

The virgin average reviewer: Look at all this crap!
The Chad Nitro Rad: This is not that impressive but I can appreciate its interesting ideas.

Bloke from the UK here. Ty was my absolute obsession to be honest, to the point in which I use to dress up like him as a kid, collect every toy boomerang I could find and make lego sets based on the levels. I was absolutely obsessed, and was bullied for it admittedly.. but whenever I see this game brought up in any way in the modern day, it really brings back all those memories. Gonna play the whole series one last time before leaving college and starting work. Great video!
