New AVGN episode is out. This time it's about Arnold Schwarzenegger related games.

Also of interest, a video from his friend about various NES hacks

The Castlevania game looks pretty good.

I am still waiting for him to do some sort of neo geo review...it seems to be one of the only systems that hasnt gotten a review from him

That is a pretty good idea, except it is something he might have to do out of character like his Mortal Kombat Memories video. I find it hard to say anything negative about Neo Geo games unless you just wanted to complain about not being rich in the 90s.

SNK Boss Syndrome.

He'd run out of curse words in five minutes. Don't forget that many of the earlier SNK games were kinda crappy... Magician Lord and Sengoku come to mind. Decent games, but horrible skewed against the player.

[eastbayarb]

I think it would work to do a neo geo review, as there are many things to gripe about: cost of games and syste, physical size of games, rarity of games, mvs vs aes, the list goes on...

[Jorpho]

Has there ever been an indication of an AES or MVS in his game room? I can't recall.

Perhaps some rabid fan will offer him one at a discount.

Also, what's this? No ScrewAttack?

[Kitsune Sniper]

I remember seeing a home console box in his videos. Plus the boxes are home versions. So, AES.

[Edmond Dantes]

Yes.

Most prominently in "Plumbers Don' Wear Ties", where he tries to stick a 3DO game next to some Neo games, and actually winds up comparing their packaging (he favors the Neo).

New Video SNES vs. Genesis Part 1. Nerd airs some really old videos he made, very funny stuff. One of his most clever videos yet.

[Thrillo]

Haha, love the fake Sega commercial he made!

[Coptur]

best video he ever did

[Jorpho]

The lighting makes his upper lip look really weird.

Also, it brings back painful memories of what an obnoxious brat I was as a kid. Ugh.

[The Adventurer]

Well the Verdict is in, and really its no surprise

[Gameguy]

Did anyone see this video of his?

Yep! Looks like a cool idea. Love the whole Reproduction market myself. I hope to see this project succeed to lead the way for more newly boxed NES games.

As for the SNES vs Genesis video, I was hoping Genesis would win =(
His argument seemed pretty fair, but i think there were some more good games on the Genesis than he showed.

[k-frog]

Hey Guys,

I linked this in my introduction thread too, but looks like it should definitely go here as well

Enjoy!

[eastbayarb]

Too bad there are no such thing as neo geo reproductions...some of those are rare and expensive...

[Drixxel]

While it may have been a foregone conclusion, at least he made a perceived effort to give the Genesis and its library a fair shake. Even if his "throwdown" was far from thorough, I'd say it's a good thing that he didn't attempt to assign meaning to hardware specifications like his 10 year old self armed with poorly understood Nintendo Power propaganda. Better not to come off like a wannabe techie.

[Greg2600]

No qualms with his picks aside from one. While I still think Super Gameboy games are fun enough to negate the graphical advantage of the SMS games, "what was he thinking" using an unlicensed product to make a comparison? It's funny because I remember having many arguments in middle school, on the side of SEGA. Most people had the genesis, not the SNES, at that time. When I did get a SNES though, I quickly forgot about the Genesis.

[Jorpho]

Well the Verdict is in, and really its no surprise

The fanfare he uses for the Genesis is obviously from StH, but what's the SNES one from? I do not recognize it. ALTTP?
