      I know this comment is super old but in his out of character SNES vs GENESIS video he has more footage of himself as a kid talking about how much better the SNES is it's super adorable and hilarious.

      +SOIBand He should just start reviewing Playstation, Playstation 2, Original Xbox, and GameCube games. Those games are very old now, they stopped making games and accessories for those consoles ten years ago,as far as anyone's concerned those are classic consoles and games.

  • @ActionReplayPerson
    @ActionReplayPerson Před 7 lety +440

    You know what is funny? If the Nerd still makes videos ten years from now, the Wii, the Xbox 360, and PS3 will be considered "vintage" because they will have been twenty years old.
    The Gamecube was only six years old at the time of this video. It is approaching sixteen years of age now, and at the time of this video, the SNES was sixteen years of age.
    Time is flying and I wish I could slow it down somewhat.

    @jamesacichon Před 9 lety +69

    Interesting. The old AVGN looks maybe in his 60s? So about 2045? And he's playing a game from his past, Boogie (2007) in which he's dancing to a song released in 1985. Future, present, and past in one game.

    Shaq Fu was such a wasted concept. Imagine Capcom taking the MvC3 engine and putting in a bunch of sports stars from various leagues. LeBron vs. Peyton! Trout vs. Crosby! Federer vs. Dale Jr.! Way better than Madden.

    • @baalfgames5318
      @baalfgames5318 Před 5 lety

      Shaq fu feels like one of those exceptions where the Genesis version is actually better. It seems to have slightly better controls, and the Super NES version is missing almost half the roster of the Genesis version.

      He normally tries to stay in the 16 bit era and before. He usually only goes beyond that, if he's talking about a series, or if the game is one of the worst of all time, such as Big Rigs.

    I would love to see James continue to make AVGN episodes even as an old man. He has to grow a beard like that though.

    AVGN should release a full season just on Wii games, mind you it would have to be about 800 episodes long
