Just Why Was The Famicom 6502 Based?
Seriously, if most Arcade hardware of the era was Z80 based, why did Nintendo opt for the 6502? In the early 80’s when it was already an “old” chip?
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 100: R.O.B. the Robot – Episode Review
Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 96: Lester the Unlikely – Episode Review
Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 83: Little Red Hood – Episode Review
James reviews the unlicensed NES game Little Red Hood, highlighting its bizarre cartridge design, random gameplay mechanics, ugly graphics, and frustrating difficulty, resulting in high Nerd rage.
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 81: Castlevania – Part III – Episode Review
In the third part of the “Castlevaniathon,” James reviews Super Castlevania IV on SNES and Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. He loves the former for its control and graphics but criticizes the latter’s awkward gameplay and camera issues.
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 75: Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle – Episode Review
Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 73: Mario Is Missing! – Episode Review
It’s time for a trip into “Edutainment” territory here with some Mario games which I’m quite certain disappointed every single kid in the early 90’s – Mario is Missing and Mario’s Time Machine. Oh how I remember these games. It was fitting by this time in the series James would cover these atrocities to the […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 67: Metal Gear – Episode Review
Ah, Metal Gear. Quite the well loved series these days, it had a rocky start in the West, not really gaining popularity until the PlayStation and Metal Gear: Solid, in 1998. Metal Gear has quite the interesting history, having started in the MSX computer platform in Japan. The NES “port” of the original game (if […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 64: Milon’s Secret Castle – Episode Review
We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 60: CD-i Part II – Zelda: Wand of Gamelon – Episode Review
Here we go, it’s finally time for the Zelda CD-i games. Oh man, I can only imagine how hyped the fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd were to see these episodes. The video clips from the games were legendary in the early days of YouTube (being often used in many comedy video edits) and […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review
It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review
Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 51: Superman 64 – Episode Review
Here’s an episode that, at the time, fans of The Angry Video Game Nerd were begging for – Superman on the Nintendo 64. However, since fans like to call it “Superman 64” James takes this opportunity for a joke he can’t even keep a straight face through – he opens by covering a Superman game […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 49: Star Trek – Episode Review
Ah, Star Trek – a well beloved staple of Sci-Fi culture, and a franchise which has had its fair share of video games, some good, some bad, all seeming to do what they can to capture at least some aspect of the series. In this episode, James takes a look at a few of these […]
