I thought the first half of this was pretty funny, even if there was an obvious Nintendo bias. :)
*WARNING* If you are offended by vulgar language, don't watch this. :)

It was OKAY. Yet I didn't like the way he throws SMS aside. Doesn't talk about 3DO or CD-i and even the Turbo Grafx 16, I mean at least make a joke about them at least. Genesis/32X/Sega CD comments had some truth, but using the "Genesis Does" excuse doesn't explain the Sega CD or 32X. "Try making some games next time!" . Which is a crock of shit, because Genesis didn't get a chance to get the better games until 93'/94'. Namely Capcom and Konami favorites.

Which kind of reminds me of how Nintendo pretty much ruled the 8-bit market. Which is why SMS didn't do so well in the USA because of Nintendo's publishing contract, which was pretty blunt about "You work for us or nobody". Seems the SNES had a type of strong hold on this market as well.

Sure, he decides to skip Playstation, but mentions hardly nothing about Saturn.

He's funny and I like this guy, but he needs to stick with NES and nothing else.

uhh.... it was about the Sega vs Nintendo stuff. The other consoles were just thrown in there for cameos and short jokes.

uhhh...I know, but knowing the Angry Nintendo Nerd, who picks on everything, you'd think he would.

P.S. Uhh...

What do you expect? Doing that era people acted like fanboys. I was teen in that era. a student from the middle school I was at a the time claimed the sega genesis had the graphic capabilities of an atari 2600 while claiming the snes was the best system to mankind. Remember the angry nintendo nerd was protraying fanboys in that era. Fanboys from that era didn't care about any other systems before or were not a threat to their beloved system. Fanboys only mentioned high selling gaming for their system. Games like Phantasy Star 2 and 4 weren't exactly househood names before the internet compared to Zelda, and Mario at least.

Actually, I expected tea and crumpets with royal jam and plum pudding. With a hankicheif on my head and a mustache, so that I may operate on this man who claims to have a headache.

Yeah, that was surprising. The video was funny but stupid, but this at least shows that the guy CAN act normally and be serious when he wants to.

Yeah, he was starting to scare me badly! Looks like that dude from Revenge of the Nerds. Not Caradine, but the one played by that guy from ER.
