James Rolfe actually protested and tried to stop the tearing down of the set from Phantom of the Opera.
+Barrett What really? :o I never knew that.
it's on his imdb page
Thanks :) Can't blame a guy for trying I guess as its a subject close to his heart. Good on him.
I can believe that, movies are James' passion, particularly classic horror films, so for him to protest destroying the oldest surviving movie set, which also happens to be a classic horror film, no real surprise for him.
The only bright side to all this is that they at least kept the Paris Opera House set, which of course was inside the soundstage before it was demolished.
At the request of the person... I will not mention who it was, but I have a family member who worked on this game. The original concept was:
The arcade room was going to be the place you'd earn tokens to go on rides. Arcade games were ranging from Universal trivia or puzzle games. Winning would give you tokens where you could go to the rides of major films. Each film would be a genre related 2D classic video game. For example: Back to the Future was going to be a beat em up but side scrolling like Metal Slug, set in the western era of the third movie but instead of a gun Marty had a whip (I assume the whip instead of a gun was because this was when games were being attacked by soccer moms complaining about the violence in video games). Jurassic Park was a top down racing game with the SUV from the movie, had to dodge tar spitting dinos or else the T-Rex at the bottom of the screen would catch up to you . E.T. was possibly a space shooter with ET trying to get home but they canned the idea before going into detail about it.
So what happened? Kemco the publishers fucked everything over. You should know them James, they made Bug's Bunny Birthday Blowout and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle lol.
Reminds me of the movie industry.
Slevin Reviews Yup, i do game design and theres nothing worse than having this great idea that you cant wait to make in to a game, only to have it shot down because of some bullshit bias reason.
The reasoning behind this game was probably "oh we want to teach people to pick up their trash in our theme park, so we will make it part of the game so next time they visit they wont throw it on the floor" thats what i imagine happened, or something just as dumb.
Slevin Reviews Somebody needs to make this game.
+Slevin Reviews Very insightful, thanks for sharing. Kemco ruin everything they touch.
SethBlizzard Yeah they've been behind a lot terrible games.
I just lost it when James laughed like Woody Woodpecker.
Yeah , me too he's fucking hilarious
Fuck you! You Woody-bunny-fucking-pecker piece of shit!
3:35
I keep replying that bit cause it kills me each time 😂
when I went to Universal, it was the super bowl, and there basically were no lines.
cool story bro, have another?
Yeah, I have one...
He's not lying
WOW!
That's worrying, I REALLY hope it's not gonna be like that when I go...hope not... :-(
Not a bad idea.
Not only did Universal demolish their oldest set of all, The Phantom of the Opera, to make way for a Harry Potter ride in Universal Hollywood, they also recently demolished the famous long-running Jaws ride in Universal Florida to make way for another Harry Potter ride, even though there already was one in Islands of Adventures! What were they thinking?! Well at least they still have E.T. Adventure.
Actually they didn't destroy the Phantom set for Harry Potter, they demolished an Amphitheater that housed concerts, I'm not sure why they destroyed a 100 year old soundstage, but it wasn't for a ride
My brother went thee and said they hardly even credit The Burbs neighborhood. Its credited as the desperate housewives set.
John Sullivan Harry Potter is popular. Can't do anything about that.
ssjup81 King Kong for Mummy.
John Sullivan Well....I guess they can do whatever they want to do with their own property.
Best one yet! Had a real length, felt like a real, full AVGN episode.
"Had a real length" so wait, what were we talking about here?
***** ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Uncut
If you know what I mean..
Too bad it feels recycled because the footage is all from a James & Mike episode.
5:48 James breaking character always makes me smile.
it was part of the act
@@CrazeReactsOfficialdebatable. It seems very genuine
If this was a modern day game
The micro-transactions would be though the roof.
Point Menu:
1 = $100
10 = $1,000
100 = $10,000
depends on the developer. EA? definitly.
+Robert Harris publisher*
(Cough) EA (Cough)
you would have to pay to get on the rides
On the 11th day of Shitmas, THE Fred Fuchs gave to me
11 Flickering Glitches
10 Awkward Controllers
9 Shitty Power-ups
8 Virtual Boys
7 Useless Weapons
6 Purple Objects
5 BIBLE GAMES!
4 CDI'S
3 Nerd Clones
2 Sega Add-Ons
And a game of E.T on Atari!
12 LJN licensed games
Damien Nevels
Wait till the 12th day
Sounds like an average day on cod for me...... But still.... Terrifying.... Ohhh boy an LJN CONSOLE....... I think...... Maybe its a shotgun with a virtual boy duct taped to the iron sights...... With ET being the only game..... Hm......
LOL 8 Virtual Boys and 2 Sega Add-Ons
Awesome!
I think Nintendo made this game shitty on purpose as revenge for Universal trying to sue them over Donkey Kong.
Nice one.
Lol
Verdrid Gaming At least is lincensed (sorry for saying that wrong) by Nintendo, right?
toonbat and now they're making Mario at universal
Zazzy Z-man
Nintendo rekted Universal Studios, made them make a game that sucks, and asked if they could make rides for their mascots. Hey, at least Universal Studios has seen better days then Acolade, Sega, and Namco!
I love it when James laughs during the episodes, like at 5:50. Makes everything even funnier.
3:37 He never forgot
TrueBlueProductions Crazy Castle
Every system needs one truly awful game, and the GameCube is lucky that it got its own right at the start.
I didn't think I'd see you here....... ;)
IT'S YOU!!!! OMG!
I never expected seeing Whoisthisgit here
I love your videos
:D
What are you doing here, Lub Lub? Planning to crash into the WTC2?
"Dude, I fucken shook hands with E.T, I mean, come on." - AVGN
Could replay that 1000 times lol
4:54 the funniest title I’ve ever heard in a Mario game. Great one James.
*Lots of Shh-'PAGGETTI!!*
@@theoneitself
😂😂😂😂
On the eleventh day of Christmas, the Nerd had to unwrap,
Eleven rides you don't ride,
Ten days of loading,
Nine Atari rapists,
Eight bits of boredom,
Seven plastic surgeons,
Six restraining orders,
Five-second musiiiic looops!
Four hundred slaps,
Three abominable buses,
Two pedophiles,
And a baby blue piece of dragon crap!
Nine General Custers? Nice.
It makes sense that he reviewed all of this licensed crap for Christmas, seeing as most of the people buying them were poor clueless parents and family members as Christmas gifts.
Unless that game is the amazing "Battle for Bikini Bottom."
Hey, PieGuy :)
randman
True that :D
randman
creature from the krusty krab was really good too
Omg its pieguy i love you :D
This game was programmed by a Universal Studios theme park janitor.
Good explanation on why you pick up trash
They are trying to brain wash us into picking up after ourselves to make a better world. No thank you!
that must be Glenn Matthews
Sweep it up jannie
James delivery of his line at 0:44 very well as he transitioned from positive to negative in such a subtle manner while retaining the same voice tone.
The Universal Back to the Future Ride had a funny joke that stuck with me where the Professor warns you not to talk to yourself if you see yourself waiting on line lol
It's strange to see him cover a game that they've already done on James and Mike Mondays, but somehow this works.
old saying goes: So bad but so good to review
That could mean he could review Sonic '06. :D
C'mon, AVGN. I know you cover old games, but seeing as how you reviewed a GameCube game and a 2006 piece-of-shit console (Hyperscanner), it won't hurt to try review something nearly 10 years old.
***** Uhh everything right?
If he can review games they've already done on James and Mike mondays, then maybe he might review THE game from 2006
it makes sense, he would have all sorts of extra footage from playing it on the show. It would speed up production on these AVGN videos.
The nerd NEEDS to review Sonic '06. It would be so funny.
To new for him
hhh lll *Too
But what could he say about it that hasn't been said countless times by others?
hhh lll But the HyperScan from last episode came out in the same year
He already reviewed it.
As much as I like Harry Potter, the fact they destroyed a piece of history in order to make a ride for it is a travesty in my opinion.
Though let's be honest...it probably doesn't matter to the newer generations who are going to miss out on such classics.
I didn't exist. And I'm pissed that such an artifact of movie history is gone because of a bunch of stuffed pocketed board members. The bastards!
Didn't they do it for environmental concerns, too? I thought I heard the set was made with Asbestos. You can't really fault them _too_ much, considering. (Then again, I'm not as big of a classic movie fan though I can respect them.)
Harry Potter came out wayyyy after the set was even destroyed, the books whereby even made yet. and Who cares, they need the space, would you rather have a Kool new Atraction or a decaying piece of "history" that know one is going to know about ever again, yall think juts because it's not even history, it's just an old movie set.
@@broformers6433 They never destroyed the set, they just demolished the studio it was housed in. It's still being preserved today, so....everyone was up in arms about a building.
0:22.
Hold on a damn moment, you tell me that this trash collecting simulator is rated T for teens?
maybe you're picking up something else than trash?
***** O.O
AT Productions Jaws is rated PG
tekdro Yes because today it would totally pass for a PG rating.
Well, you're collecting "T"rash.
3:37 Crazy Castle throwback :D
It's Been a Long Time Since I Hear Him Saying That. :D
Reminder: Kemco was the company that made this game, not Nintendo.
They also made the Crazy Castle series.
nyah play the game doc
Kemco. The Uwe Boll of game publishers.
Then what would LJN be? The Ed Wood?
3:50 I had to pick up trash at school to go to recess. Everyone has too. But since everyone has to, its rare to find trash.
Child labor.
SourceAnimator Imagine if the trash picking rule was real at Universal, I don't think you will be too lucky. Not to even find the smallest piece of gum!
Bygge Gaming341 , WHAT THE FUCK??!!!!
WHY?
I had to paint a wall as a punishment, an ADD kid doing it with me started painting desks and chairs, teacher came back and his face was priceless lol, fun times
They say that some kids are still looking for trash to this day.
I was hoping that you'd give this game its own episode after the James & Mike sessions showed off how much you both hated it.
...and I wasn't disappointed.
A "janitor sim" is the best genre definition here. I look at going on the rides as a diversion from the intense day of trash removal at Universal. I mean, sure, I know there are supposed to be labor laws, but maybe letting the kid on the rides is a way to keep him from telling the authorities. Or something.
Really looking forward to Day 12, and what's in that big box of LJN.
LJN Video Art
No, it's actually a condom for Mike. It's so big that it takes up a box like that. LJN is just trying to get on Mike's and James' good side.
***** Wait, it's NOT? Well, I've been looking in the wrong place. thanks for the heads-up.
Woot!
Can't wait for The AVGN to unwrap Mike Matei's giant Schlong
Ok, I saw the one picture. Is this just a joke or does he actually got a 12 inch dick. Does this prove anything? It could of just been a clothing malfunction, right?
naa my shlong is bigger than his
Wat?
Who knew that it was made by LJN this entire time...
dude, its the LJN video art console, NOT MIKES BIG ASS DICK
Theme parks are really big on keeping litter under control...
This feels like a PSA on trash.
Teaching kids to pick up their bull crap.
You know, It occurs to me that the Nerd has done reviews on earlier adaptations of every movie featured in this game.
Jaws (NES)
Back to the Future (NES/Genesis/Super Famicom)
E.T (Atari 2600)
Jurrassic Park (A ton of systems)
Waterworld (Virtual Boy)
What about backdraft?
Karlis Povisils
I don’t think he did that one
I don't think they made a video game of Backdraft
This looks like its like playing Final Fantasy 8 but with no battles.
Holy crap, i tought this exactly
Or portal without portals
Or Final Fantasy 7 or 9
Or grand theft auto with no missions..
Or Resident Evil but without guns or zombies.
1:01: "The oldest surviving movie set in history gone overnight."
That's not how it happened. The oldest sound stage was destroyed, but the set was removed. I believe the studio plans to donate it to a museum once they find someone with proper facilities.
Seems they never found one........
Why does it even need to be preserved? It's already been preserved on film.
@@blaisetelfer8499 Just the fact that it was there. It in itself is cinematic history.
@@blaisetelfer8499That's like destroying Mount Rushmore cause there are already pictures of it
A game where you pick up garbage, fitting for a game that is garbage.
I know..................WHAT WERE THEY THINKING‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
seems like they weren't thinking!
It'd be a great metaphor gamee for Steam Greenlight and Early Access
ziljin
it's almost Christmas again. wonder what's coming for 2016 AGVN Christmas?
11:13. That's what you get for trying to get a peak at your Christmas presents too early.
I'm so sorry to say this, but the look on the Nerd's face at the end is priceless.
I wonder how Mike feels when he sees all these comments.
arcela04 Up yours :)
manlier than you
A theme park video game actually sounds like a really cool idea. Like a simulator where you go around riding the rides and seeing the shows
Especially if you can't afford to go to actual theme parks.
Seems like a neat idea, too bad it didn't take off. I would love a game like this on a 3DS, PS4, or Switch with refined controls and graphics.
4:45 this is his most concerned “what were they thinking?” ever
It's November, and what's getting me in the mood for Christmas? The Fuckin' Nerd!
There were so many times as a kid that I saw this at Hollywood Video or Blockbuster and wanted to rent it to see what's up. Thank goodness I didn't!
never had to pick up trash at universal to get on a ride. however when i worked at cedar point in Ohio, if employees were in the park on the day off and were caught passing by garbage without picking it up, we got written up and lectured. best part is, they never tell you about that during orientation
Did you get any kind of discount or were they really that fucking entitled?
7:57
Old game predicted crowds of nobody, before Covid 19.
awesome guess you can thank james and mikes mondays for this
Damn didnt realize you had so many trolls James :/
That's why I plan to disable comment section when I one day make a series for youtube. Even if it means jealousy that I don't even pin anyone on.
A few people making some jokes=trolls
wow anyone is a troll now a days. "You said something I didn't like you must be a troll"
Albert Arias
No one will even watch your shitty videos anyway, so no one will care if you censor the completely empty comment section.
RedHairdo Kids these days love calling others they argue with on the internet, kids these days.
neither did he
3:39 That frown gets me every time.
Good God this one was amazing. James doesn't get enough credit for his writing, which sometimes pales in the presence of his hilarious anger/acting. This is so well written.
The moment I saw the horrible LJN Rainbow Logo I paused the video and was like "Oh...shit!"
DashieSparkle you've met with a terrible fate haven't you?
Brony alert brony alert!!
I what I meant by that is that I know how bad LJN is at making games.
Casperdog 10 Who the fuck cares?
Casperdog 10 And? Shouldn't everyone have the freedom to comment here? I didn't know this comment section was segregated. Silly me.
I'm really glad that the Nerd is starting to bring newer games into the show now.
Person: 'tries to get into line'
Woody woodpecker: 'pick up that can'
One of the biggest heartbreaks about Universal Studios for me is when they took out the Back to the Future Ride, but what made it even worse is that The Simpsons Ride makes fun of it in their queue segment!
2:36 just like the old Resident Evil games
"I thought by now that games this horrible would be extinct"
James, if you ever thought there would not be horrible games on new game systems then please play Ride to Hell the worse game on the third generation of gaming systems.
+Freezie Pop *Seventh
+Freezie Pop
How about Paper Mario Sticker Star? That's the goldmine of bad 3DS games right there!
Or Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 on ps4. FUCKING PS4!
+Freezie Pop EA seems to have a reputation as being a modern-day LJN.
+InvaderPet true that lolololol
So pretty much they don't even let you enjoy it as a character. They make it so the camera angles are as if you're watching another kid get to run around the park. That's a slap in the face.
7:22 - _”Imagine playing Excitebike blindfolded, with the controller upside down, coated in rubber cement, while seated on a wild bull.”_
And while you were being tickled under your feet as well…
james to mike: do i really have to do it? its LJN for fuck sake
mike to james: we're doing this for our fans
james: hmm, you're right
mike: yeah, i hate it too, fucking LJN
There it is.
That was shit.
LJN Video art is next
I always find it crazy how different James is in real life to the AVGN character, he plays it so well.
0:52-1:06 I looked into that, the soundstage was destroyed, their building part of a Nintendo themed part of the park there. The set itself was preserved and put in storage. Meanwhile a Curious George area and an amphitheater were torn down to make way for the Harry Potter stuff
James is one of the few UA-camrs who can leave in a blooper and it actually makes the episode better.
They are making Nintendo rides in Universal studos! :D
Clicker Happy well i saw a sonic ride so that's a start
ThatDutchComrad me too that would be the best job ever
+Clicker Happy in Universal's dildos...
+Brandon Johnson Wait... do you go fast in the Sonic ride? Also, Sonic isn't Nintendo.
deathslicers
Nah, bro. The Sonic Ride is Sonic 06. XD
Wait...did LJN DO THEIR OWN CONSOLE?!
You could say that. The LJN Video Art was more about trying to color pictures, if you will. It was trying to be more like Mario Paint before that even existed, but it was more like Color A Dinosaur in terms of how you could color and do things in a proper manner.
Crazy Luigi Oh dear god no.
Welp..just when you thought LJN couldn't get any worse, they do. And they aren't even in business anymore!
Casperdog 10 Did you learn of that insult on your own ;'D?
Casperdog 10 MMMMMmkay, says the guy who posted a long, tedious rant about how bronies are 'ruining everything' kaythanksbye.
Casperdog 10 Cool story bro.
Look, you can have your own opinion on bronies, but dont act like its a big deal.
I may buy this game just to shake hands with E.T.
That’s only a small perk.
As a Cali dude myself, the Star Tour was one of my favorite attractions... But I feel the Nerd, what's the point if they're getting rid of history!
As a former annual passholder of USH, I'd say that Disneyland has more **real** rides than Universal Studios Hollywood has to offer, which were 95% screen rides that uses projectors and 3D glasses while sitting on a moving hydraulic seats.
The funny thing about this is I was at Universal Studios Hollywood for Halloween this year, and the place WAS filthy. This kid would be a welcome addition to the park these days.
Filthy pickpocket! (.quote)
The Phantom Of The Opera set was not destroyed at all, it was moved into storage.
The soundstage was destroyed, not the set.
Well ill be damned there is a god
11:04 I love the enthusiasm he gives, making it like your with him.
The ecstatic screaming crowd of... Nobody.
Pilot: I hate my life.
Pretty epic "nooooooooo!!" at the end. One of the best ever.
Not gonna lie, I actually got this game for Christmas one year and I LOVED IT as a kid!
Same
Same here I was getting worried that I was the only one
Your generation has a low threshold for entertainment 😂
5:45
If TF2 ever got their own amusement park , I feel like they would implement this rule
1:56 You had to ask, Nerd.
i actually did have to pick up garbage to get on the ride
+Luke Carnes Dang son.
Why?
You're kiding
Maybe because you threw it...
Luke Carnes can confirm I was the Garbage
I always thought that the T-rex raft ride was a strange choice for them to do seeing as how that only happened IN THE BOOK and it was not in the movie at all.
David Gomez Well, the ride was in development at the same time as the movie.
Evan Pan-Bao I know and really i'm not complaining it's a great ride it's just as a kid that confused the hell out of me.
Apparently, Spielberg and the company thought that they could make their own story with it.
6:29 Perhaps your most eloquent analogy yet.
I love the dramatic screaming and the face he makes at the end
I heard that Universal wanted to have an attraction based on the movie 'Anaconda', unfortunately Mike refused the job.
Fixed camera positions are commonplace in the survival-horror genre, and it works just fine in many other PS1 games.
Yeah, but mostly, your character is pretty close to the camera and you are not far away in a big crowd. So yeah, in those horror games, it works fine, because it is done right.
Fixed camera positions work well when they are done right.
True and in this game it's shit
Sem Koops Ya but what the hell does that have to do with this game? This game sure as shit is not a survival horror game, nor is it a PS1 game.
James made it sound like fixed camera positions are in essence faulty, even though it's common in lots of great games. I wanted to point out that IMO fixed camera positions are not bad most of the time.
and now on Nintendo and universal are working together to make a Nintendo amusement park
On the 11th day of Shitsmas, Fred Fucks gave to me:
Eleven pieces of trash
Ten card-based games
Nine pole-vault puzzles
Eight lethal weapons
Seven quick-time events
Six Olsen twins
Five piles of moose shit
Four fire dogs
Three crazy buses
Two alien puppets
And a seizure-inducing dragon title screen!!!
Thank you James for speaking on film history and keep protesting you are my hero.
It makes “Disney’s Magical Kingdoms” look like a Masterpiece!
Seeing these presents, the music and the nerd unpacking them sends me always back to the nostalgic-comfort-zone.
10:08 "Even LJN, when they fucked up Jaws and Back to the Future, it was one at a time, NOT ALL AT ONCE"
OMG, I laughed so hard at this
7:59 No one was stupid enough to buy the waterworld cap, consumers arent idiots these days.
Gotta say. Star Tours was one of the best theme park rides I ever been on as a kid. Actually felt like I was on a space ship stumbling onto an imperial fleet.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!
"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU TAKE SO MANY POPULAR FRANCHISES AND *FUCK* THEM UP SO BAD?!?!!!!"
Darius French are you seriously censoring the word "fuck" in a AVGN episode?
I'm pretty stoned, but have I seen this before? Or has weed given me the abilit to see into the future?
You seen James and Mike's let's play of this?
ah okay - thanks
armoureddanger sweet im stoned too
Lit like a Christmas tree!!
***** Yeah, badass
I actually liked this game, played it constantly when I was a kid, unlockables were really cool, esp the hoverboard
This video series is turning 10 years old this christmas.
I remember watching them when they were new… im so old man
"I thought by now games this horrible would be extint" Well.. James you should play Sonic Boom for Wii U i DARE you
Sonic Boom is not that bad
will people stop talking about that game it might bring bad karma on sonic mania and project sonic 2017
Nope, sike
Sonic Boom was worse than Sonic 06, that's sad.
It might be bad but it's not "AVGN material" levels of bad
I find it DEEPLY IRONIC that a video "game" about a theme park owned by a major movie studio is plagued by BAD CAMERA ANGLES
I know that this was made only 3 years ago, but this still feels nostalgic!!!
now we have a universal nintendo themed park coming out. I never knew nintendo had such a history with universal and to think in the beginning they were at each other's throats over donkey kong
Stage 28 is just destroyed. The Harry Potter area replaced the Gibson Amphitheatre and The Adventures of Curious George
This Universal Studios Theme Park in this game is mostly based on Universal Studios Japan instead of Hollywood or Orlando, meaning you get to simulate the Japanese counterpart in the game you bought in the US.
8:23 rip
7:47 they predicted COVID (no people watching the show)
The version of Eee Tee 2 in the AVGN movie should have been a spoof of the ET mini-game here. Now THAT would have been hilarious.
***** I think James said that the Nerd and the movie wouldn't connect or something like that.
