I will always and forever be a fan of BNGR. So glad it's back!
I just subscribed to u!! I just really like ur attitude and enjoyment u get with doing these videos. I can tell u really enjoy it and I love that about ur channel!!
It also is great to see and hear the history of these games. I like watchign these types of videos for the nostalgic feeling it gives me. Especially to see what the old games were like
What about the remake of A Boy and His Blob on Wii? That game was pretty good IMO
what
This was pretty detailed and damn complete. One of your best reviews, Balrog! I'm actually happy you went with the original as opposed to the remake. I love the remake, but I'd say it takes a lot more curiosity and dedication to review the ancient one. Heh.
This was so amazing! The into and outro were aweaome, and the review its self was hilarious. This is a good sing of great things to come.
I got to say balrog has really improved since I first watched him he's now one of my favourite youtubers!
He is currently my favourite youtuber.
multifrog3 nah warios better
CODERED56 Wario is not a youtuber though.
no its exotic butters
Really well put together review! A great mix of funny and informative. A new subscriber appeared!
Ketchup Jellybean? CATCH UP JELLY BEAN. oh man. they're smart
Dorkara thats a chuggaconroy pun right there
Great review, I'm really enjoying your updated format
Balrog. That was amazing. So much work was put into this and it shows! Keep it up man!!
The text during the intro says
"CONGATURATUN!
*This is a test Easter Egg! I put these often in episodes. Feel free to pause at them, if you're up to the challenge! Or just get mad at me. Both work.
I have similar feelings towards the original Metroid game, I can sort of see how it would've been good back in the day, but playing it now it's really frustrating.
I actually plan to get the original Metroid soon. So did it age that badly?
animedude639 Yeah, fortunately I got it for the 3DS ambassadorship thing, the main issue with the game is that you can't duck and shoot, and so many enemies attack your legs. On top of that there are no recharge stations, so you have to find a spot where an enemy continually spawns and shoot it until you build your health back up. Say what you want about Other M, but I'd personally rather play a well-made game with a crappy story than a game where you can't duck and shoot.
robertsfunny1995 Why have enemies that attack your legs. then again this is Nes were talking about so its excusable I suppose.
animedude639 Yeah, but it's still frustrating, the only way to kill them is when you get the mine upgrade, you have to plant it in the area where you think it'll explode when an enemy's nearby, and it's really tedious and awkward to use.
Is super Metroid any good?
I like your new format. Very strong first episode! Keep up the great work!!
Your old reviews were awesome these are even better! :D
I love your easter eggs! They're the best! :)
I can't stop watching this... It's such a good review! The best so far. Keep up the good work.
Awesome review man, great intro and outro. Keep it up man!
Balrog I've been a fan for awhile and you've been getting better and better. Keep it up!
Getting better at your reviews! Good stuff
Dude i swear, balrogs new intro and the outro are really cool, i like them a lot :D
You sir, are getting better at making videos! The presentation, camera angles, and editing are all showing vast improvement. Keep it up ninja!
-a fan.
First video of yours I've seen, Balrog. Nice job. Subscribed
good to see another video up!
10:55
Evil Emperor is not amused.
Really solid review Balrog! I feel like this one was extremely polished and you did a good job of introducing yourself to an audience of people who may not know who you are or what you do.
I gotta say, it's amazing how the channel changed the entire feel of the experience...but I still love it. The first season was fun because you were just a guy who loved video games who knows how to make a fun video that still teaches quite a bit and doesn't get ridiculously sidetracked. But the new videos are about someone sharing his passion for games and it's STILL just as good.
BalrogTheMaster gets a rating of "Please subscribe" and a check plus
I still own this game from back in the day.... It has not aged well.
Nice music selection for this review!
This was one hell of a return Balrog
Great job! I actually liked the intro even though apparently it's "too long." I felt it was just right, and I loved how you kept that last pitch from your original intro as sort of a memento.
Where did the scene of you licking the ketchup go? o.o
I like your new theme song thing. Awesome job :D
Woo! I got your easter egg in your title sequence! Great job on the video Balrog! Keep em coming!....at your own comfortable pace! :D
finally a new episode ive been waiting months it was worth the wait
The ketchup jelly beans help the blob "catch up" with you.
When I played this game as a kid I had a manual to explain how you were meant to play the game and what the jelly beans did. So it didn't take me long to figure everything out. Just because you don't have the manual doesn't make this a bad game.
Well, I kind of a agree with you, but it's being a bad game is what makes it a bad game. Seriously you can't defend A Boy And His Blog. It did a lot of AWESOME things, but it was a poor game all around.
"What is it with games these days and bad partner AI?" Um.... A Boy And His Blob is not a game from 'these days'.
Really liked the ending, Balrog. Season 2 looks like it's going to be good. :D
Nice review man! Definitely getting better! But yeah, I dunno if you knew, but there was a remake of this.
This review yo. So freaking solid. I love this format too.
Great review! :) I have to admit, I had TONS of fun with this game when I was a child. I didn't care about the story or beating the game; just the blob himself (and his different forms) was enough to keep me entertained. On the topic of reviews, do you plan to review the remake? I never played the remake or saw any gameplay, though I heard it wasn't that great either.
What is the name of the song played in the backround when he starts about David Crane in the beginning at 2:30?
I love Shatterhand's music in the background!
Seriously Balrog, you are the coolest video game reviewer in my opinion. I love trying out random games I've heard nothing about just to experience more of the vast world of gaming.
No promises, but I'm aiming for a new episode every 2 weeks and a small video on off weeks. If I don't I'm probably swamped in schoolwork ;_;
02:46 "No I dont hate CoD. I just don't appreciate a new game every year with a bajillion DLC packs. Also im editing this at 4AM LOL. Please save me." THANK ME LATER. Rapid edit: 04:39 "Okay, maybe I should've reworded that in the script. MAYBE." No problem.
Infuhasmovedtoanotherchannelthatisntlinkedtogoogle+ can you translate the text during the intro for me
WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO US BALROG???
The Happy G. Never mind found it
Haha, well this review was just me getting back in the swing of things. No need to overcomplicate it with sequels.
THAT SAID, there's not only a Wii remake, but also a Game Boy sequel from 1991. I'll be returning to these one day ;)
You truly have come far from where you started, Master Balrog. Great review
After seeing this game from this review i think i'm glad the remake by wayforward existed despite how overlooked that wii game is
Brilliant Balrog. Returning to your roots, you fucking beast.
This is one of the first games I ever played, on my brother's old NES.
a great way to start the new season!
Dat Zabutom opening..
Which is amazing
+Sonicgamer04 YES
The music is from Silver Surfer for the NES.
LOVE the intro, even tho I miss the knightman theme
I love the Wii remake!
Did you mean Wii U
cynda wu No there is a remake for the wii. They may have put it on Wii U but I don't own one.
Once again a guardian legend midi. I totally subscribed to you for that.
This video didnt show up on my subscribed list, but thanks to your tweet I got here!
This is AMAZING BALROG!
Welcome back, Balrog. It's good to see you getting back into the swing of things. You've been gone far too long, friend.
WELCOME BACK BALROG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good god, Balrog! How many reboots are you going to make!?
Funktioniert dein HP Drucker noch den ich im Hintergrund gesehen habe ich hatte denselben ist aber einfach so nach Ende der Garantie Zeit kaut gegangen wie lange hast Du den Drucker schon und funktioniert er noch?
Hot affe schwanz
OK
Shatterhand and Mr. Gimmick background music? I approve.
Yo Balrog, not entirely sure if u know about it, but they made a remake of a Boy and His Blob a few years back for the Nintendo Wii. As a game reviewer as well, just wanted to let u know in case u wanted to *cough* take a look at it :). Actually looks pretty good :) Also great vid, and welcome back man!
That quick paragraph of text at 1:04 says:
"Congaturatun!
*This is a test Easter Egg! I put them often in episodes.
Feel free to pause at them, if you're up for the challenge! Or just get mad at me. Both work.
i kinda like this game... it was one of the first nes games i ever played, since my first experience with nes games was my dad putting an emulator and roms of games he grew up with on my computer when i was 6. this also led me to playing loads of double dragon, hehe
I love the intro
Balrog I believe that there is a DS remake, I haven't played it, but it may be worth looking into.
Wallid, do you know about WayForward's remastered version of this game? It's on wii.
Holy shit, just realized that this was uploaded on my birthday! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIET.
I wished you touched on the reMake version a bit too. At least that one told you what each bean did and you had unlimited of them. I did enjoy playing that one, but this one like you said I got stuck in the first 5 mins of playing. Gave up and it hasn't come off my shelf since. I only keep it because I like the cover art. ha
yep. came out a long time ago.. will be very hard to find
Throwback
Hey Balrog, have you ever played Drilldozer? You should review it! :)
Are you going to review Pokemon Gen 4?
it's about fuckin time
thats the first vid i see from you and i got to say... you just got a new subscriber ;)
You know Balrog... WayForward made a remake of A Boy and His Blob. Also, they're having a KickStarter for they're Original IP, Shantae! You should check it out.
There's about 20 days left and this game rocks. It has a Metroidvania style and the music is top notch! I encourage anyone reading this to check out the KickStarter, and if it looks interesting to you, please help back it. They need all the help they can get!
Cool Easter eggs
Just so you know, the ketchup bean is a pun, so that the blob can "Catch Up" with you.
what is that music at 08:00 ?
Have you played the Wii remake of A Boy and His Blob?
What's the song that starts around 5:00?
Hey Balrog,
It might be interesting to play the modern remake of this game on the Wii and see how it compares.
Cool new style balrog
1:05 I got startled and jumped back a little aha
Yeah! Balrog is back and he is better than ever.
DAT CHIPTUNE! ...so majestic...
I beat this game when I owned it on the NES. I was about 4 or 5, and I figured it out by trial and error and my five-year-old intuition. According to this review I must have been a genius. Or maybe it wasn't quite as tough as this made it out to be. It was a solid puzzle game. Key word there: puzzle.
Can you also make a review about the WayForward Remake of these Game?
They have a remake on the wii, which was actually pretty fun, also love the silver surfer music!
*pauses at right moment for easter egg*
*says it's a test*
*the "fuk u balrog's" commence*
Great video, keep it up.
Ever played the one made by wayforward for the Wii? that one is really good :3
What did you think of the Wii remake?
yes
DAT NOSESQUEEK NEVER GETS OLD
The split second wording at 4:39 says: "Okay, maybe I should have reworded that in the script. MAYBE."
Thanks, I tried for 2 mins and couldn't pause at the right time
One of the most sympathic CZcamsr I know about.
Nice video for season 2
Paused at your test easter egg on my first try. I guess I'm getting used to these ;)
