Great
Nice!!
Are you gonna do the Harry Potter games?
No! I refuse you’re not my boss!
@@teemofie what?
AVGN has been around so long "he's gonna take you back to the past" now has a different meaning.
This show even predates youtube! And it's one of the oldest still-running series on the platform. Gotta respect the OG.
@@Siska0Robert I remember back in the day when i started watching "Jamesnintendonerd" on youtube, and he was in the top ten most subscribers list. The is the real OG that's for sure.
@@freeassange8864 I forgive you and hope you can be brave enough to be genuine one day.
true
By this point, our generation's past is the one James is taking us back to.
Back in the day, we didn’t have Ghosts of Tsushima, we had the Legend of Kage, and we were thankful.
We didn't have covid either
@@sergiowinter5383 And lefties were called hippies and laughed at. Now they laugh at you.
@@oldguy9051 nope they’re still laughed at
lol I remember liking this game...well the arcade version
How old are you? 10??

That hit me way too hard for some reason. Took me a solid minute and a half to get my laughing fit in check.
Haha

Ninjas on the Moon: Does not exist.
Dracula vs the Ninja on the Moon: Does exist!
We need James to look at that movie, my goodness.
@@themojogamer75 excluding its rating is 3,4
No ninjas, but I own a copy of Oversexed Rugsuckers From Mars. I’d highly recommend.
I just finished mutant aliens vs Donald Duck and Chriss Pratt in the Stone Age part 3! great film!
But how can Dracula fight a ninja on the Moon if there are no ninjas on the Moon? Checkmate atheists
When I was a kid, I loved this game
And when I was a kid, I loved the music too.
same
I do vaguely remember a character that took a princess then some blue guy took her. Turns out it's this game. Memories were made with this.
yea same
I still ~love~ it, still play it, too! 💞
Seeing the return of the Nintoaster made me genuinely happy
Who wouldn’t be happy for the Nintoaster to Return?
Haven’t seen Nintoaster since 12 days of Christmas in 2014.
yea that thing rules
This man is almost up to his 200 episodes... mad respect.
if he didnty take so much time off when he was making his movie i guess im just sort of sentimental he still does this but for how long wonders.
I realized how old I am when I saw that the Angry Nerd has almost 15 years of existence, and I watched from the beginning!!!
Father diesel?
@@pathogrin No not quite I'm a far relative
@@JessePorkman ah,I see.
The Sword attack can block ninja stars and melee attacks, so it's really more of a block than a primary attack. The primary being the Shuriken
Was looking for this comment before I said the same. You can't really dodge while you're flying.
I remember just having it continuously swinging to block everything incoming!
Finally someone knew what it was for..
Correct. The whole game you should really be spamming sword attack even while in air.

When I was 5, I loved Legend of Kage. Never knew what it was called until I found it again 30 years later. What a throwback.
You need to fckin play Demon Sword. It’s the Ninja Gaiden version of this game. Literally! One of the best on NES so far.
I have a similar story, but it took me 20, not 30 years 😅
same here
Seeing as "kage" means cake in Danish, I'll just read the title as: "The Legend of Cake" and start drooling like Homer Simpson 😊
Anyone here from the Smash Bros community? I immediately thought of the Ganondorf player "Kage".
Ummmm kahgaye

It's exactly what it looks like.

Maybe Cinemassacer Products will make it into a movie.

I always played as Joey.
I suspect that is one of his corny employees writing that joke over and over.
Jesse is too OP.
Considering he calls every ‘fighting game’ a “tournament fighter” I’m not surprised
@@sitrepproductionsatlanta8538 Any idea where you found the game? Asking for a friend ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"The legend of kage" is literally the second NES game I ever owned after Super Mario Brothers. Me and my brothers used to sit there for hours playing that game. Kage's legend is embedded in my memory and it holds a special place in my childhood ❤ but I can't lie I agree it is terrible but there's just something so addicting about it 😭
I still love this game!
Your top comment when it has no likes, UA-cam is broken
@@Frogster08 wrong!! He’s got 9 likes now.

The Nerd is one of the very few OG UA-camrs that has always stuck to his roots and known his audience. Much respect for James
Many of the old greats burnt out and just do twitch streams thanks to youtube becoming much more unfriendly to small time creators. I get it, It's easier to just stream all the time and makes about as much money, but it feels like a waste of talent. Others transitioned to doing the type of garbage one might find if they accidentally clicked on the trending tab.

The sequel to this game, Legend of Kage 2, introduces a new character out of nowhere. Apparently, the new character is a kunoichi out of the same village as Kage, which is Iga. But during the playthrough of this new character, you'll come across a shocking secret that not even I can comprehend.
Two things in life are certain: Death, and James never played Warpath
What is wrong? Is it not the authentic WWII experience? :O
i think avgn never got interested with modern gaming. maybe he's interested with old school gaming...
not sure if he Played any MYST Games either.
I bet he happily cashed his check that he got for the plug!

"Ninjas can appear directly in front of you"
Yes, that's what Ninjas do.
Not really, they sneak up behind you at night and blend into the dark like Batman.

i never knew it came out 😅
Hmmmm def ordering it now!!!
YES YES YES YES ... *_YES!!!_*
I'll take your word for it!
“Violence Fight” is the game your grandfather thinks you are playing when he asks “are you winning?”
lol
i loved that game as a kid. Was at my local ma and pas store in Calgary,
Violence Fight is so awful
@@Scribblerjohnny
The game is as bad as the name is hilariously awesome.
This definitely felt like a classic AVGN episode! 😂👌🏾👌🏾
Hey is verbal ase!
are you kidding me?
Definitely. I've enjoyed the last few episodes. At one point it was starting to feel like the videos were becoming more about setting up a silly skit that had questionable relevance to the game being reviewed,* but in the last few videos it feels like he's gone back to basics, giving us angry commentary about the game. Less is more.
*That's not to say a skit is necessarily a bad thing, but the majority of them just wrecked the flow and general tone of the video. Like you've got this angry dude ranting about a game that's either bad or frustratingly hard, and then all of a sudden he's off on some wacky misadventure.
let me show you how to scratch it
They're all classic episodes... Always have been
No joke I attribute a lot of James success to his verbal intelligence, he is amazing with words and his reaction to the ending screen in this ep is perfect
On the cover Kage looks like he stole Hugh Hefner’s robe.
japan cover is cooler
Now that James made us all hyped on Ninjas on the moon, he has to film it himself.
He's trolling by letting you know he's trolling. The 80's version. Great stuff.
Everyone like this comment.^
Thats the secret project hes working on
I couldn't find it :( I was looking forward to watching that terrible movie.
I'm still waiting for a feature length munky cheez.

Sounds like your average Icelandic summer.
This episode right here is proof that the "Unhinged Nerd" from before is still around! Great work!
Odd that history forgot the actual Kage sequel, "Demon Sword" also for the NES.
Demon sword was sweet
Oh
Not
I loved this game as a kid. Can't believe nobody mentioned it, the nunchuck/stick attack can actually block ninja stars. If you play it with a turbo controller it's super fun to block all the stars, I think that's the way to play it. Also the jumping felt super awesome like in an anime. Also doing a melee on somebody mid air was like in those martial arts movies where two jump attacking eachother and one falls safely to their feet while the other crashes to the ground dead.
I miss turbo controllers.
He literally caught me googling "Ninjas On the Moon"🤣😂
It needs to be a movie.
I googled the goats from Tennessee...
@@MauricioLJ well, those are certainly real, and hilarious
Go watch The Last: Naruto the Movie
I mean it has ninjas, and they go on the moon soooooooooo
Man avgn just has not changed at all. He really is still perfect when it comes to his videos
"The guy from fist of the north star"
He's probably only familiar with the game and doesn't know it's a show
“Tom Honks driving a Tonk in his way to the Bonk” made me laugh more than it should’ve.
so does a lot of jokes on AVGN

Still holding strong man, if you haven't seen it, I _highly_ reccomend the Megaman games episode.

Good to have you back soldier.
@@doublechindoge7 been watching avgn for years loved the megaman episode as well 📼

Love the scriptwriting for this episode, and I also love how you brought back the whole abridging bad game endings trope from older years. Solid episode, well done nerd!
They aren’t bad games dude
@3:14 this part has me crying every time I watch this video. Classic Nerd line 🤣🤣💀⚰️🪦
From his Ninja Gaiden episode!😅
This video feels so much more energetic, like the older videos. It's like he's taking us back to the past.
Agreed!
"Where are you off to little Jimmy?"
"I'm just heading to my friend's house to play some Violence Fight!"
And I'll have you know I had fun playing Violence Fight with my friends.
That game only came out on arcade. It was trash give it a shot on Mame and see what I mean.
Me - "Okay have fun".
My favorite mispronunciation of Guile is still to this day Gwee-Lay.
8:00 I love how the amount of bad games he played made his expectations very low that just having a pause button is impressive 😂

@@gregjarvis1232 I can confirm it's the same one.
Tom Honks driving a tonk on his way to the bonk. xDDDD
The sword swing was to deflect incoming ninja stars.
Well I was able to find a “Dracula Vs the Ninja On the Moon”, that’s close 😂
ahahahahaah I saw it too
Same, I was literally googling it as he said it...and I found what you did.
Wait that's a thing
I found a picture of an astronaut surfing on a zombie Dracula, evading ninjas on the moon.
@@Ryaurezh That's Dr McNinja. The astronaut is also a ninja, and he fought Dracula over Ben Franklin's life on his evil moon base (complete with moon death ray) and then surfed Robo-Dracula's body back to Earth after learning to jump real high from Bruce Lee.
I did not made up a single thing in that sentence.
Kikikaikai became what we know as the "Pocky and Rocky" series that was on the SNES. In fact, the Touhou series drew very heavily from the game, especially for it's main heroine Reimu.
Ah yes, Sayo-chan is Reimu's mom
@@hecatialapislazulli5426 She is only based on sayo-chan.
I knew I've seen something in Pocky and Rocky that felt familiar...
"The Legend of Kage" is the title of one of the final stage themes in Touhou 1 as well
@@UTBanimation Elevator Action
The nerd's anger in this one reminded me of his earlier episodes. Ah, gotta love the blast from the past. ❤
This looks like an early version of Demon Sword, a game that if I'm not looking back with rose-tinted glasses, was actually pretty great.
" And finally, Frodo threw the ring in Mount Doom thus ending the reign of Sauron.
By the way, Frodo was a Hobbit from the shire "
... and the nephew of Bilbo. Bilbo was a hobbit from the Shire who found the One Ring.

Actually, The Legend of Kage 2 of DS is a legendary hidden gem
Agreed. I have that one.
Same
Ironically or unironically?
I was just about to comment this. XD
Man, Kage 2 is fantastic
😎
I like it when James goes in and out of character. He is so nice as a person and the nerd is so angry, it's very funny
15:00 In Japan, they filled up 4 discs, like 4 toilets full of diarrhea.
I come back to AVGN after a two year hiatus and am greeted with a Nintoaster.
It's an old AVGN thing, lol.
"It's a Nintoaster."

@@eggdog2953 yooo im also called dylan. epic!
@@hotsauwz lol that was funny
I feel like James is coming up with progressively weirder ways to say "What were they thinking!?" in this episode it sounds like he's in a David Lynch film
The Legend of Kage is also the bgm title of Touhou Project 1 and 2.
yea，Zun used to work at Taito in the 1990s.And 博丽霊夢と幻想郷 is adapted from Ki Ki KaiKai （小夜ちゃん）
funny magical people were related to this?
Didn't expect to get touhou-hijacked in an AVGN video.
I love the fun James has with messing with his fans in the newer episodes.
At least the game actually ends eventually. It would be horrible if you could never ever save the princess
and actually don´t repeat....there are variations of the stages
Like the game my hero?
@@joelclements9240 I'm sorry, what?😨
@@setsers1 my hero it was a arcade game from 1985
It never ends
When I was a Kid I didn't own a 100 Nes games, My collection was 5 games. And believe me Between Deadly Tower and Legend of Kage. Kage was the best thing in the world
A friend of mine had it, and if we had to choose between LoK and Fester's Quest, we usually played the former.
It's not even a bad game.
When I was a kid, I had all of three NES games. One was Mario Bros., because the console came with it, one was Mario 3, and one was a top-down action RPG called The Magic of Scheherazade.
@@captain_misaki Those are 3 great games
i had 5 games as well, Super Mario Bros 2 & 3, Fester's Quest, Tetris and something else that i cant recall.

*BMTH - Pray for Plagues*
This episode feels like a mini love letter to the AVGN series as a whole.
Like he was parodying himself in just the right convincing way. I laughed when he presumed what the viewers might already be doing. Three times. I’ll be honest, I would believe a movie like ninjas on the moon existed with Who Killed Captain Alex level quality.
I did google ninja's on the moon...I am used to him referencing things I haven't heard of so I thought it was a real movie
I tried Googling Ninjas on the Moon, and it sadly doesn’t exist
it should. Someone start a kickstarter for it.
i found "dracula vs the ninja on the moon" - it's a bit similar
@@janheikel7751 what should the plot be? "A descendant of an ancient ninja clan must team up with his scientist buddy to rescue a modern day princess from aliens, who established a base of operations on the moon."
@Eva 01 That's what they want you to think.
This needs to be fixed.
James, please Don't stop doing what you're doing. Future generations deserve to see the video games we grew up playing and you do it better than anyone.
4:55 Why do ninjas jump so High?
忍者だからね。
This really felt like one of the older Nerd episodes, I love it
It just didn't tho.
@@newportfed10 it did tho
@@RDVD look my man. Im not one for comment argument but I promise you it's not. Ill dive in a little since this is something that's bothered me for that last couple years of AVGN. Cliche I know, but I have been watching Cinemassacre for a very long time. I was 13 in 2007 and this series was pretty much the most popular one on youtube. I'm just trying to say I've watched literally every episode of the Nerd. The statement "this felt like one of the older episodes" is completely false because it doesn't. I'll just throw out a random example from "season 2" watch the atari 5200 video side by side then come back to me. I'm NOT a cinemassacre hater since I still watch it. But I guarantee that even James knows these ain't it. Sorry for poor grammar.
@@newportfed10 dude... i was watching avgn since 2009, and even i felt some oldschool vibe. I think its more of a subjective feelings, i guess. But you’re right though, last episodes of avgn are not that interesting, its like something is absent. Im talking about the time period from 2016 till now
@@newportfed10 well the anger and frustration felt really genuine and that's threw me back and made feel like it was and old episode. For what is worth I wouldn't want the nerd to be stuck in 2008. I celebrate that the nerd keeps on going and I welcome the different approaches that James takes. Some times is not as fun but must times it makes me laugh. Sorry for my grammar too xD
please review de OUYA. its not that old but it died instantly. it was born outdated.
The arcade Legend of Kage had a very relaxing soothing feel to it, almost zenlike, if I dare say so myself.
Nah. The nes is better
13:26 don’t give any more ideas for your next game!
Laughed so hard at "K-Keeeeen?"
, 😂😂😂

Same so funny
"What were they thinking!?" total count: 61
Really? 61? I would have probably guessed around 100 episodes, or at least half.
I think we need more AVGN stats. :-)
We all need more Angry Nerd in our lives these days! We love ya James!
Random: the AVGN 3 game should have a guest appearance which could be a second player option of sorts and that character should be Kevin McCallister.
"I can't really name that many noteworthy Taito titles to be honest, but they apparently made enough to fill up two whole PlayStation 2 discs. That's kind of like saying 'I filled two toilets full of diarrhea'. It's an accomplishment, make no question about it." Lol!!
4:52 Kenshiro never skipped a leg day
also, the melee attack's range is actually bigger than it looks, and it even parries shurikens and sword attacks (but not fireballs and grenades)
Are you the man with seven scars? I have to find him.
@RogaFang Possibly. I’ll give you the actual answer if you tell me where the man with seven scars is.
lol just googled ninja's on the moon and found "Dracula vs the Ninja on the Moon" now i need to watch it. thanks AVGN
Probably everyone knews this already but, you can block those ninja stars by pressing the attack button.
And when you accidentally jump high, you can use this way to protect yourself.

i remember playing this as a kid and not being able to find the name of it for so many years. really tough game.
Sometimes we like the games that hate us
That game kinda makes me nostalgic, since that was the only game I had besides Mario back then. Now I know the name XD
7:03 This gets me. They must've jumped 2000ft from where they we on top of that building. A somewhat long jump down to the ground.
Oh boy, I played this game sooooo much in my childhood. Just the music in it gave me nostalgia... or ptsd, it varies.

Man, that was so long ago I still had hopes for the future back then.
the jumping actually what made this gameplay really cool and unique, and oddly satisfying! a lot of anime fights are exaggerated and take place in the air.
The fact that AVGN not knowing well about anime makes him pure, clean and significantly hilarious
Na
As far as i remember there's bug that appears in 2 player mode. To make it happen player 1 must stay still on his spawn point ( or at the top of tree he's jumping down) and get himself killed. Then player 2 shares the same fate before even getting into action - you can hear death sound while princess sleepwalks at the beginning and then you can see our player fall down dead.
