The Angry Video Game Nerd Episode Rating Graph

The Nerd isn't sure how any game company can create a video game based off of the movie Wayne's World when all the movie is just about two guys hosting their own show in a basement along with an abundance of jokes towards clichés that were occurring at the time. So the Nerd couldn't help but check out what the NES game is like. The game is already a big downer when there's a lack of good color and the Nerd's main complaint is that Garth has an effective weapon while Wayne just gives out a wimpy kick. The Super Nintedno version on the other hand is no improvement even...

Out of all of the NES games in his collection, the Nerd decides to review the one that stands out like a sore thumb which has an unusual slot on top of the cartridge. Mainly because it's an unlicensed game much like the Noah's Ark 3D game for the Super Nintendo. The game is called Little Red Hood, which in no way does it resemble the original story. So the Nerd starts to play it and already could tell it's an abomination with putrid color schemes and unusual game rules. In fact the game has no organized rules when enemies re-spawn rapidly, items would sometimes...

Within the NES collection of the Nerd lies a game called Hydlide, the pronunciation of the name is debate-able.

It was originally released as a computer game but got re-released for the NES at the wake of the first Zelda game. Excluding the similarities to Zelda, the game is nothing special.

A tiny little gremlin who is the main cause of all game glitches. Upon trying to get rid of the gremlin, the Nerd discusses several games that contain glitches after being released in public. These glitches can make the games more interesting or make them a lot more helpful upon...

What better way to kick off the year 2010 than by playing Street Fighter 2010?

The Nerd reviews the 52nd game on Action 52 titled the Cheetah Men, which came with it's own single volume comic and a preview to a line of action figures that never got made. It looked like the best game cause all of the efforts seem to be poured into it the most compared to the other games. However the game isn't any better than the other 51 games. It suffers from unusual glitches and the attack moves are worthless to certain enemies. After finishing all 52 games, the Nerd decided to play the unreleased Cheetah Men 2 game. It's so rare that only 1500 cartridges were...

The Angry Video Game Nerd is chronologically confused about the Kingdom Hearts timeline. With Kingdom Hearts 3 on the horizon, the AVGN will explore the goofy order of the KH games. You think it's just Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2? Guess again. There's 358/2 Days, Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance, and many more. There's almost more re-releases than the games themselves. Oh, and the release order still isn't as confusing as the story line. Final Fantasy + Disney = 1 Confused Nerd

The review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film. The Nerd reviews Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout which is nothing more than a poor man's Super Mario Bros. style slide scroller game. While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to ...

The Nerd fins the front cover of the Die Hard game to be a little controversial due to it depicting a skyscraper being blown up which he advices that we all know what it reminds us of. Though he puts that issue aside and starts playing the game on his NES. While the terrorists in the game are able to take 3/4's of John McClain's health away, the Nerd's biggest complaint for the game is the dark areas that only light up when you enter the area which makes it inconvenient when there's a terrorist lurking in that area and you don't know it unless you go into that area. ...

After putting his review on the Wizard aside he starts to play Super Mario Bros. 3, while it has a lot of hard parts it is really fun to play, however the Nerd couldn't help but notice the game ...

The Nerd reviews two of the earlier Superman theme games. The first one for the Atari 2600 is not just bad in graphics but is confusing to navigate. While the Superman game for the NES is another story where all of the characters are drawn in a chibi style and the use of attacks don't do justice towards the enemies. The Nerd's biggest complete about the game is that one of the missions involve trying to see why the stocks are so low in the stock market. The Nerd isn't sure why a game intended for kids would be interested in the stock market. Overall the Nerd finds the...

The Nerd randomly picks a Super Nintendo game to review which turns out to be Lester the Unlikely. The Nerd knows that the game isn't going to be fun just by seeing the main title screen and the intro. What perplexes the Nerd is that Lester is a wimpy guy who can't attack with anything but a puny kick, unable to with stand jumping from a high place, and is afraid of almost everything he encounters. To make matters worse, the levels of the game look like they're design for a more playable plat-former game with a character that isn't as weak as Lester. In the end the...

It's for the cassette tape player for the Commodore 64 which gives you a playable game. However it's not what you'd expect for a Transformers video game.

On Halloween night, the Nerd finds a flaming bag of shit on his doorstep. And in that bag is The Crow for Sega Saturn. Not based on the 1994 movie, but the inferior 1996 sequel, and plagued with horrifying graphics and ghastly game-play.

The AVGN pulls out and reviews as many video game magazines as he can find, except for Nintendo Power. From Atari Age, to GamePro, to some lesser known gaming magazines, the 80s and 90s were filled with great reads. The walkthroughs, reviews, previews, ratings... and the terrible ads.

Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 177: Mortal Kombat 1 Ports. Mortal Kombat is the ultimate arcade fighting game, developed by Midway in 1992. Acclaim released four official ports in North America as part of the "Mortal Monday" campaign a year later. There were for the Super NES (SNES), Sega Genesis, Game Boy, and Game Gear systems. Mortal Kombat 1 became a best-selling game and remains one of the most popular fighting games in the genre's history. The Nerd reviews and compares each of these ports and weighs in on what made "Mortal Monday" so important.

The Nerd does a history lecture on the Swordquest games which were not just your average Atari action genre games but were actually games used for a promotional contest where gamers have a chance to win actual treasures made of gold and other minerals. Only three games were made when it was planned to be a four game series. However due to the 1983 video game crash, Atari pulled the plug on the production of the fourth and final game and the two remaining contests never happened.

In Angry Video Game Nerd episode 219, The Nerd digs up another vampire game for Super Nintendo but instead of Dracula, this one's based on the classic silent horror film based on Dracula: Nosferatu!

In Angry Video Game Nerd 223, The Nerd takes a look back at some of his favorite retro video game commercials after referencing them for years.

The Nerd is a big Mortal Kombat fanatic, and yet he never checked out a little N64 game called Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. In light of the Christmas season and the subzero chill in the air, he decides to fire up his Nintendo 64 and see what he missed.

Continuing from the previous episode, the Nerd tackles the CDTV game The Town with No Name. Due to not owning the actual console that it was made for, he is forced to play it on the Amiga CD32.

For the first time in his series, the Nerd tackles a game from a later generation of consoles that does nothing to the reputation of a certain blue hedgehog – Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for the Xbox 360.

The AVGN already covered Superman for the N64 about 11 years ago. Well, it's back... with a vengeance! Superman 64 was released for Nintendo 64 in 1999. It was based off Superman The Animated Series on Kids WB. It was also coming to PlayStation. But, however, the PlayStation Version was never release. After the game came out on Nintendo 64, it became the world's Worst Video Game of all time besides E.T. for Atari 2600.

This is episode 201 of the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), which starts off Season 16. The Nerd promised himself in 2006 to review The Last Ninja on NES one day, and today's the day! The Nerd learned during Episode 200 that bad games aren't really made to be bad, that developers probably have decent excuses and issues... but, will he cut The Last Ninja any slack?? -- The Last Ninja is an action-adventure game originally developed and published by System 3 in 1987 for the Commodore 64. But The Last Ninja on the Nintendo Entertainment System is actually the second game in the series Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance.

On the ninth day of Shitsmas, the Nerd was forced to play: Porky's on Atari, Lethal Weapon on Nintendo, V.I.P. with Pamela Anderson, Olsen Twins on GameBoy, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Ren and Stimpy: Fire Dogs, crazy CrazyBus, ALF on Sega Master, and a game called Tagin' Dragon.

The Nerd plays the Super Nintendo adaption of the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie. Something that can't be made into a good game. Mainly due to the addition of weird enemies and locations that don't look like something you'd find in either the movie or the original books. The Nerd's main complaint is the large number of glitches the game has where various platforms make the characters in the game fall through. While playing the game, the Nerd is visited by the Cowardly Lion who won't shut up through out the review.

The Nerd won't be making a call to Charlie's Angels anytime soon, as he plays a bad GameCube game based on them.

On the sixth day of Shitsmas, the Nerd was forced to play: Olsen Twins on GameBoy, Rocky and Bullwinkle. Ren and Stimpy: Fire Dogs, crazy CrazyBus, ALF on Sega Master, and a game called Tagin' Dragon.
