I was the kid who won the chance to be in The Mask II. Wanna know what they did instead? When they eventually found out that Jim Carey had no interest in doing a sequel, I received $5,000, a leather jacket, a bunch of THQ games for the Super Nintendo and, when I got to talk on the phone to the woman who voiced Princess Toadstool (which was ridiculously awesome) on the cartoon, I got asked, "is there anything you wish you had from Nintendo"? I already had a N64 so I said I'd love Pilotwings 64. One week later, that's what I got in the mail.
Nintendo is and was a fantastic company. I still have one of the letters from then and the jacket.
Proof or it didn't happen.
If that's true, that's fucking awesome.
Sure ya were browny
NICE
OK, I believe him now!
Man, whoever was answering the questions in the magazine was a real smartass. Totally hilarious!

Nearly every gaming magazine back in those days had someone answering letters in a humorous, often offensive way. Seems like that all went away in the early 2000's.
Yeah totally hilarious when some kids just wanted legit anwsers and some fuck just were making fun of them
"It's cool because it's got an owl, and owls are cool"
A few days ago the chat in Mike's OoT stream went apeshit over the Owl, lol.
He should get the Legend of Owlia if he hasn't already
It's Weird Owl Yankovic on the cover.
Squidward owls are cool right?
... said squidward.
I swear to god, my dad looked through my room, looking to see if i had any smut or some shit. He then found my stash of nintedo power magizines i have ben collecting. Then we both talked about nintendo for an hour straight. Sometimes, its not bad to talk to anyone, you never know if ANYONE is a nerd!
You know its gonna be a good one when the opening is just "AAAASSSSSS"

JustinEvitable80 thank you for this
JustinEvitable80 this is kinda late but the song at 6:29 is glacius theme from killer instinct snes version
What’s the song at the very beginning of the video?
@@grimaceispurple super metroid item room theme
ZSXDFV that’s what I thought! Thanks 😊
This is still my favorite AVGN episode. It's just the best..... It's informative, nostalgic, and hilarious.
my favorite are the bugs bunny episodes
My favorite is episode 100 when he reviews R.O.B.
+Solid_Big_Boss same, i always keep coming back to that episode. I love when nerd acts chill and informative.
*You're that ninja...*
Definitely one of my favorite episodes
You know it's gotta be awesome when you're flying a jeep through space going apeshit with Nintendo controllers
My everyday life.
Just a normal Saturday night.
XD
That had me dying
Dirk Bogan 6:20 so u can skip to it
Yo, that Mike Tyson's Punch actually sounds pretty good.
Its the best game ever
Not the game, the drink from the magazine. I tried it. It's actually really good.
a spiked version would be sick lol
"that's funny" 👁️👄👁️
"Remember Star Fox 2, The game that never saw the light of day?" Or, the game that will see the light of day with the SNES Classic. ;)
Chosen Masters too bad starfox sucks atleast the N64 one did
too bad nobody can fucking play it because nintendo didnt think that millions of people would want one
Chosen Masters its been available online for almost 12 years
JesusTheMesiah you're paying 80 dollars, yes, but it's not just for star fox 2, it's for several good games in the snes library all on one system. Well worth the money. Emulating is for scrubs.
And it gives Nintendo a reason to keep producing stuff like that
I remember as a kid I had the star fox paper model kit issue. My Dad worked in a print shop and could fold paper like a fucking master. He took my issue and made that ship perfect. Than he kept it in his room for himself.
That. is AWESOME :P
Those tears are making your
Powdered Toast all soggy, FYI...
based
I bet he played star fox as a kid
Fun fact : all the robot masters from Megaman 2 to Megaman 6 (+6 in Megaman 7) were designed by fans, and 2 of them were from Nintendo Power fans.
wasn't clown man one of them
Snowy Fox all I know is clown man is still creepy as balls.
bullpoop! no way?!
Oh holy socks! i never knew that!!
Knight Man was from a dude in a small town in Quebec, the local newspaper (in French) had even made an article about him and the fact that his creation was gonna be in a Nintendo game.
It's as AVGN said it. Nintendo ruled the fuckin' world!
No matter how many times I rewatch an AVGN episode it never gets old. That is one of the reasons I love Rolfe. His content never gets old, in fact it invokes a sense of nostalgia in all of us.
watching you pull posters out of the magazines was the most painful thing ive ever seen
Yeah, it's called a "butterknife!"
Although, I'd still fup stuff, occasionally...
...umm, are you winkin' @ me? 1-0-1
0:15 most weakest and funniest jumpscare ever
It gave me flash back
@@bryanstars7784 gave me an ass back
Wouldn't lie it actually got me before even though I knew it was coming.
At least he did it better in his Video Games magazine episode
Is that your bestest grammar?
The beginning scared the shit out of me!
Cassandra Andrade I say ass a lot. I guess you could say I'm an ass man.
Gray Fox ( DUN DUN)
***** IKR me 2 xD
Gray Fox what an ass
***** what a fantastic ass
I actually laughed at the Luigi board joke.
happycrank Ouija board is synonymous with kinda magic, spiritual, speaking into the void.
Luigi is the second player in Mario Bros. Sometimes the BEST player gets Luigi to give the shit player a chance to play. So When Mario Dies, Luigi goes further. Showing whomever is Mario player all the traps ahead. And when he dies, Luigi, then you could technically say his ghost told Mario where to go.
Plus it rhymes. Luigi, Ouija.....idk. It does.
Take all of that or just part of that, and you still should get the joke
2/3 Zelda jokes were pretty good. Try force. HA
Funny story - when I initially heard the term "ouija board", I legit thought it was "Weegee board". No kidding.
Trying to copy Dolan Dark huh?
I've always wanted to speak to Luigi himself.
14:04 is absolutely the AVGN in a nintendo power magazine
skudzer1985 Great Scott…..
Heh. Almost. :)
if you pause it at 14:10 it looks like AVGN is him (a younger version obviously).
Jim Jim s
2017 and Star Fox 2 is being officially released
9:56 there's one Crash Bandicoot enemy that is pretty similar to that one
Oh, you mean N.Tropy from Crash Bandicoot Warped.
What did Zelda tell Link when he couldn't unlock the door?
Triforce
🤣
Game...set...terrible! ;)
@@Sinn0100 Lol, I liked it xD
The Mario Paint comment is right below the response to the SNES in a block of ice. Just though I'd tell you.
"Uh.... thanks Justin. That's certainly some useful information"
NGL, the "ASS" jumpscare actually shocked me a little XD
You’re lucky it only shocked you. It scared the hell out of me as a kid.
when I originally saw it me too haha
I always wanted this magazine but my mother always said ‘no’ because she felt it was for boys. I really enjoyed this glimpse at the forbidden fruit of my childhood.
Take On Geek sorry you had to deal with that. NINTENDO POWER was great for kids!
Life is unfair you know
If you can, ask her about it again as an adult. I bet she'd say she just didn't want to spend the money on some video game magazine and cooked up the boy thing as an excuse.
Wow, in the words of the Nerd...
What's your mother's fucking problem? Nintendo Power is awesome!
@TheOnly 3DSGuy dunno about sexiest, maybe kinda pretty back in her day?
"remember Star Fox II? The game that never saw the light of day?"
2017: ay lemme make it up to you.
One of my favorite episodes! Nintendo Power is hugely nostalgic for me, so hearing James share his thoughts and memories of it was really cool.
I may be only 11 but I have a SNES and I love it and I really hate xbox and playstation.
So my opinion makes me a hipster well thanks for sharing.
OK I WILL TAKE YOUR JOKE AND SNEEZE ON IT.
Im SORRY :D
HALLO
"Nevermind those games are shit, throw em to the sharks"
-AVGN
one is super Mario bro im not joking
@@consuelonunez6175 and Zelda too
14:04 that face looks familiar...
“ why the hell is there a picture of a jar of toenail clippings in a video game magazine” lost it 😂😂😂
the Killer Instinct Glacius stage music at 6:30, while there's a question about encasing an SNES in ice, was a really nice touch.

That scared the shit out if me.
That scared the shit out of my AAASSSSSSS!!!
+Lugnet97 technically your not wrong
+chuckobscure Yet you put punctuation before the parentheses.
chuckobscure Just correcting you're grammatically incorrect sentence.
I always know the scream at the beginning is coming but it ALWAYS GET'S ME
"AUGH, it stinks!" I think the "Bug's Birthday Blowout" episode rubbed off on him there. XD
4:31 Zelda was already the queen of videogames by 80s/90s. Look at these charts! It is impressive as all hell!
Holy crap. So many memories coming back. I forgot how many times I read and re-read these magazines, seeing them here again I’m remembering seeing them for the first time, how I felt, what I thought, it’s incredible.
damn it, the Nintendo power makes me wish i grew up in the late 80s-early 90s.
Ndoki Hasaki yeah.
My brother has a shit ton of those magazines.
sam, that makes me feel damn old, ok?
Seriously, when you have people talk about something you love and they say something along the lines of "yeah, my dad does that"... I'M NOT OLD, DAMMIT!
And my passport lies!
Hunter Allen you didn't miss much, there were better gaming magazines
You'd definitely be interested in RETRO Videogame Magazine.
You cant ever get bored of AVGN
A Nintendo Power game ad introduced me to Shantae. I never got to play it back then and well...still haven't played it. But the memory of seeing that ad will always stay with me forever.:D
that "ASSSS!!!" always gets me
Dare I say, James is responsible for bringing retro games into the subconscious of all modern gamers.
I thought about the other day how James inspired a whole generation of manchildren emptying their bank accounts on old Nintendo games.
No people were obsessed for a long time
R.I.P
Nintendo power
+ShadowMaster77
:'(
+ShadowMaster77 There's no need for nintendo power because nintendo makes easy games now
8:18 What I Looked Like When I Smell The Whole World Taking A Shit
there's game informer now
There's Nintendo force
Kyle's Nintendo Power song was fucking great
Yeah, but the greatest was:
"Where did the hair go?"
Iván Gerardo Casas Torres
100% agree! That is actually my favorite AVGN episode due to that song and Kyle's randomness.
"a horrifying double feature from LJN"
at least nintendo power was being honest here
This made me wish I was older in the 90’s to be able to read and enjoy Nintendo Power when they were issued. Sadly, I was born in 1993. Luckily, I own a good amount of Nintendo Power magazines now though. Awesome video, as usual! #Cinemassacre
My god, what an awsome video xD There should be an entire video dedicated to those letters and the editor's answers. So hilarious.
The page he stapled shut was just the toenail ad
4:02 Nintendo Power states that YOU play as Freddy in Nightmare on Elm St.
Holy shit. you're right.
That's cause in an early build of the game, that was actually the case. Wish that game was made instead
Should of kept it like that be more fun
AAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
There's that new Friday the 13th game that's let's you play as Jason. Maybe we'll yet see a similar Nightmare on Elm Street game that let's you play as Freddie.
This was great James thank you man that was actually my first time watching this one.
My cousin and I spent hours reading Nintendo Power as kids. Thanks for the fond memories!
This was the first Avgn episode I ever saw. Brings back so many awesome movies.
The Lego magazines were a big part of my childhood.
Hey I know it's been 5 years but same here, I still have a lot of them. They were really cool :D
same
3:55 the excitement in the kids face kills me XD
Coming back to this like 6 years later, suddenly those jokes are pretty perfect dad jokes.
Fun fact: Ian Stocker (The dude who sent in the total amount of possible Mario Paint drawings) Went on to compose the OST for the Sims 2 for DS/GBA. Look it up, I ain't kiddin'.
Loved that talking about the frozen SNES the music actually went to Glacius stage on Killer Instinct.
0:15 That was a jumpscare!
avgn jumpscare
@@RealSparklezFancreepy
7:55 Nerd wasn't even trying lol
10:45
Mike Tyson’s Punch
2 Cups Strawberry Kool-Aid
2 Cups Raspberry Kool-Aid
2 Cup Ginger Ale
1 Box Frozen Strawberries
750ml (one fifth gallon) Cuban-style white rum
Never thought I’d see the proper thumbnail again
A picture of me made it into the Player's Pulse section in the Power Blade issue of Nintendo Power. Was so stoked to notice it when I received that issue back in the day!
This is one of my personal favorites. Mainly because I like stuff where they just reminisce on old stuff that's cool.
BNUUY
@@stalecheez-it1034 :3
Holy shit! The Fucking Nerd himself appeared in a Nintendo Power issue lol 14:04
CRIMSON STUDIOS PRODUCTION Woah, that means he's the son of the nerd from Maniac Mansion!
CRIMSON ARTISTS that's Bernard burnoulie
BigBad Braxien dude I know it's a joke hence the lol at the end of 2 year old comment lol
CRIMSON ARTISTS fucking savage hahahaha this dude replied 2 years late hahahaha
Joe Pwn please leave.
Fun fact. The number at 11:53 has an actual name, it's 1.9 Duovigintillion
Random fact: The page stapled shut is the jar of toenail clippings pic. He's been asked before by many. It's also easy to check this by looking up old Nintendo Power online. When he talks about the stapled page, you can see the issue is Volume 82.
The part with Dracula's face and then the Castlevania music kicks in... kills me every time.
09:23 What sick idiot would live at a place WHERE A VOLCANO IS CURRENTLY ERUPTING BEHIND YOU?!
Of course.
+Jerred Zoll Really?
+Wojti 2000 They didn't know it was a volcano, they thought it was a mountain.
+Isaac Adam "You" AKA That invisible person
Gorons.
7:11 the Gross ad he mentions is the Toenail Clippings ad. That he shows just seconds earlier. (I still own the first 167 issues of Nintendo Power)
I've always wanted to know that
Just because I can... one quattuorvigintillion, nine hundred seventy-eight tresvigintillion, eight hundred fifty-seven duovigintillion, one hundred twenty-one unvigintillion, nine hundred seventy-nine vigintillion, four hundred and ten novendecillion
Cool cool
"Uh... Thanks for the information "
JustASouthernAthiest congratulations you just started the 4th Reich
i love going back on these classic episodes, makes you see how far youtube content has come, but this kind of old content still holds value.
I think this is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Thanks for all the laughs James and crew
>clash at demonhead
...oh shit, that's where Scott Pilgrim got it from?
Yup
">"
Tyrone's Nasty Fingers Yes?
***** Why would getting a great game stop someone from liking video games?
SomeGuyNamedJason
Great game? Clash at Demonhead was given negative reviews.
I paused the magic eye and could see the mario head. I still got it man.
This is probably my favorite of the early episodes.
The stapled Nintendo Power Volume 82 page is actually the jar of toenails he already showed in the video. People theorize he probably forgot what was on the page before he stapled it and bought a copy of the magazine to record for the video.
James this video has been my happy place for years and years. The subtle music selection it key.
10:03 That is literally Annie from League of Legends :D I think someone from Riot Games had this magazine as well :D
Isn't it funny James said "those games suck, anyway", but Super Mario Bros. was in that pile?
And Zelda lol
Noah Duke Courville He was looking at Rambo no doubt lol
Noah Duke Courville The pile the kid was holding was full of crappy games. The rest, from what I saw was good.
Yeah I think he meant the pile that the kid was holding. The games he stood on are godlike & classic. (Most of them)
The game that never saw the light of day
Nintendo: I’m about to end this man’s career
Rolfe are you kidding me, you have a Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, AND FACEBALL Nintendo Power poster in your background game room also?! True legend!
I love that the Moon theme from Duck Tales plays right at the same time as a clip of him reading a Nintendo Power issue with Duck Tales on the front cover. Nice little detail I hadn't noticed watching this before.
Weaseletta and Terror Teddy still gets me.
I can imagine that level being a haunted abandoned theme park and her headquarters is the broken down haunted house
"Remember Starfox 2, the game that never saw the light of day?"
Welcome to 2017, James. I'm sure you have an SNES classic by now.
Out of stock
3:35 It's out now for the SNES Classic and emulators, and it's awesome.
I've watched this one so many times it never gets old
One of my favorite vids for nostalgia as well the holiday catalogues, James should and I hope he does one day go over the other magazines like Gamepro and EGM.
Looking back after so many years, this is my favorite episode after all, I’ve noticed something kinda funny and a little creepy. When the Nerd is facing the camera, you will notice that his neck has a really weird tan and yet his head is at a much paler tone.
This leads me to believe that in filming this episode, in order to get the lines right and look at and hold the magazines he’d cut of his head with editing software and then paste his head saying the lines later. It’s kinda genius, and after watching this time and time again, I’ve never noticed. Huh neat.
Wtf is your problem dude
4 years late, but at 8:15 you can see the same skin tone difference and that's clearly not an edit. I think he just had a sunburn or something.
I'm curious to know what was the super gross ad that James had to staple shut in that issue of Nintendo Power
it was the jar of toenails ad
NinjaProductions oh...I kind of got my hopes up too high...
+NinjaProductions
He showed that already.
I know he did I have no idea why he would staple it shut if he already saw it
NinjaProductions
I'm still not convinced though since that's kind of baseless evidence to my eyes.
If he showed it already, there would be no point of stapling it since us the viewers, have already seen it.
I got a joke about He-man:
Q:What does He-man say when he got the nintendo power?
A:I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!
Leon Hoffmeister *Laughs Sarcastically*
I owned exactly 2 copies of Nintendo power in my childhood, that I got for my birthday. One came with the SSBM soundtrack orchestrated, and the other had a guide to Metroid Fusion, which I was playing at the time. I can only imagine how great it was to have a full subscription back in the day, given how useful just two random ones were
I think this more than any other of the AVGN episodes brings back a sense of nostalgia. It may well be my favorite one. But that is a close and very tough call.
"You know its gotta be awesome when youre flying a jeep through space goin apeshit with nintendo controllers" lmao
Nintendo Power was discontinued in December 2012
I was like 11 when that happened, bruh i was so sad
That’s certainly some useful information
Rip np, a classic part of many childhoods
I have to say I respect the dedication to the craft that you acquired a Nintendo Happy Meal bag as a prop. Well done.
9:15
If I recall, the person who won this contest was Chris Houlihan. The same guy who got a secret appearance in Zelda: A Link To The Past.
And until episode 156, you review Earthbound.
These calmer videos are always great, not that the crazier ones are bad. I love both sides all the same.
10:53 top 10 rappers Eminem is too afraid to diss.
"It's some old creepy bitch holding a log of shit!" Gold.
One of my favorite episodes, thx for the better quality!
