Props to you for innovating on the game review channel tropes - seriously, I find myself enjoying each new episode more than the last. Production values are constantly going up (the off-screen audio sounded *super* crisp); the relationships between you and your characters are continuously building in a way that's both interesting and entertaining; the various effects are stylish and fun and - man... This is good stuff.
No matter the day or time, your videos always put me in a better mood. I'm glad to see this video coming out this soon after the last one. Still, this channel is my favorite UA-cam channel to watch. Keep up the great work :)
Hey Balrog! Gotta say, loving how your making these videos, there a nice refresh on your formula... By the way! I think I have a great game that practically no body knows about, seeing as you enjoyed Mibibli's Quest. Its this really weird and off game called Disney's Tinkerbell for the Nintendo DS... Yeah sound familiar -_- boi you better get to that review!
I know its your show, so you can do what you want with it, but I think it'd be cool if you did like mini 10 episode story arcs with this that are all part of an overarching story that culminates in an XY review.
I know I already told you, but well done babe! I really enjoyed this episode! And what an adorably touching end, just in time for Valentine's Day. D'awwwww. xo
Yeah, I have one of the Genesis plug-in plays. It's pretty cool since it allows for original cartridge and controller support...... though the music is high and squeaky. It's technically a plus since the SEGA jingle sounds hilarious.
Joke's on you. I got a used one and the previous owner had modded it. Long story short, there's a lot more than 30 games on it (to name a few additions: Mega Mans 1 + 3-6, Castlevania 3, all three Ninja Gaidens, Final Fantasy 2+3, etc).
You know, I was on the fence on getting an NES mini for a while, thinking, "Nah I don't really need it." Seeing this video actually convinced me to go and get it. *eventually* Also that ending really got at my heart strings. I don't know why, it was just hella heartwarming.
No lie I just got one yesterday. A coworker of mine (we work at Walmart) bought the only one we had in stock just to see my reaction, then he let me buy it off of him because he's cool like that.
+Balrog Awesome Episode bro!...But......how DID you find it?....Anyways nice episode and....the whole gift things here....sounds like this was supposed to be a Christmas Episode Originally..but anyways...I loved it and I hope to see your next review soon................................P.S...........I loved your cry here: 9:32.
Im 13 so when I told my parents this thing for the holidays and I told them the problems with controllers, reseting, and the setup in my house and they actually listened and bought a long HDMI cable
+Balrog OK Here's the next episode to the Balrog Review Marathon....and ya these arn't "Reviews" and then again you could go all anime like timeline and say these are fillers...but so far I haven't heard you say otherwise, and I didn't see you most RECENT video yet, so I'M counting it as part of this marathon. OK Let's Begin! After Review: The episode was really good, the skits, from the beginning skit with the story of a lot of moments you tried to buy some underproduced producst, seriously...having jerry with a big mustash on 1:49 was PRETTY stinkin halarious, and your reaction to when you finally got it....I wish my reaction for when I got the SNES Classic Edition, YES I got it on launch day and I love the system to death, was THAT emotional, up to the point when you yank the system. Oh and I love your reaction to finding out that the critic had an NES Classic Already..at least from the part when you realise it here 3:37. And everything else was done really well, it was informative, awesome demonstrations on how some of the elements of the system works..even how the system runs in quality was pretty well done. Though not skits of any kind I LOVE your reaction here 9:32...That reaction....is the funniest reaction I ever heard...I LOVE it to death!...make me wish I saw the livestream when it was new. Plus the whole story on how you got an extention cable for the NES on 9:06 is...interesting...interesting I'll just say that much...... Oh and um....I LOVE how you've been pronouncing "MANWELS!" 6:15...and GOOD point THIS method of "MANWELS" save some tree's....so....THAT'S a good thing. Plus on how you explained the awefull expirience you had in Restore Points was pretty halarious....and I feel bad for you that you lost a save like that due to the confusion....OH as I said before I have the SNES now...so I'll tell you now...save the restore points...it's not set to A..it's set to Y this time..so JUST A HEADS UP for when and IF you get it bro. :) The ending to the video, such as the joke with the drum end you put in There's probably a lot more I could mention but I'll stop it here 12:29, to the part where you read the letter was well done, with Bob's reaction after that, to the critic taking the letter and read the p.s. and p.s.s of the letter was well done...to the critic mentioning the fact that you didn't add a story element in the episode...which ya that was confusing to me at the time..and honestly still is....I mean weren't you supposed to do a review with wario?..ANYWAYS....to you calling bob to give him a bad time....man I feel bad for him....was all pretty well done......and I also like the lighthearted scene on 14:40 the when you got the Critic a second extention cabble..was pretty well done..I liked it. There's probably a lot more I could say but I'll stop it there. But overall the video was awesome, funny, informitive, and enjoyable to watch all the way. Good work for your first non-review video on this new show bro! :) Well That's it for this week, and next week will be the first episode to come out WHEN THIS MARATHON I WAS DOING WAS STILL NEW! for your thoughts on the Nintendo Switch!..See ya this Saturday! hopefully.
The fact that the NES Classic is as sought after as it is does not surprise me. What does surprise me is how Nintendo managed to underestimate the demand for the NESC like they did with Amiibo and makes me worry that they'll repeat their mistakes with the Nintendo Switch in the months following its launch, albeit not on the same disastrous level of attempt to meet demand. That said, even when ignoring the low supply, I find it incredibly hard to justify purchasing a glorified emulator, especially given the wide availability of the games they chose to include.
My dad woke up at 4 a.m., drove down to our local Meijer, and stood in line for 4 hours just to get me one of those.
God bless the man.

You did everything to find one while I found one in a flea market.
wish I was as lucky as you! :D
even the filler episodes are great
fantastic anime would recommend to friends
The Woodman music in the background made me smile because of SiIva.
He's ruined everything.
nice
Radshyguy nice. >:]
NinjaSox7 That’s not very nice >:[
wwow cool epic
More chance of me finding a 1% shiny Chansey in the Safari Zone and catching it than owning one of those. So damn rare.
2:27 and a GIF was born that day.
IS THaT a JoJo ReFEReNCE?????????????
AshnSilvercorp uh Sanada beach
Oh my God
how do you make such high quality vids but have less than 100,000 subs??
JigglyPortal Because he never uploads
inconsistent uploading most likely
i hope he can hit 100k by the end of this year
Because he used wood man - mega man II in this video
large gaps between videos and constantly changing his mind on what he wants to do. i like BGRA but he'll probably change his mind again
No matter the day or time, your videos always put me in a better mood. I'm glad to see this video coming out this soon after the last one. Still, this channel is my favorite UA-cam channel to watch. Keep up the great work :)
your videos are always worth the wait wallid
Really enjoying the character dynamic in this one! Also, 11:35 love you too Balrog. :P
I love all these characters. I can't wait until the tournament arc.
All these old memes. I love this channel so much.
Great video yet again Balrog. I cant wait to see where the series goes next.
Everytime, a new video comes out, I have to refresh my memory on the series.
I appreciate everything you do Balrog, keep it up!
Getting better all the time Balrog! You're great dude.
My stepdad haggled with a gamestop employee until he got one for him for me for Christmas.
great job on your annual upload balrog, I enjoyed this one
I heard Wood Man's theme at one point.
nice >:]
nice >:]
Not even 3 minutes in and there is a jojo reference and an X and Y reference. Good job Wallid!
Balrog! Your videos give me life! The whimsy is what gets me! :D
Man, I forgot how much I missed Balrog episodes.
11:35 YOU EVIL HUMAN MAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!?!?!?!?!!?
Always good to see a video from you
Sweet it's been three months, only two more before we get another video.
Man, I love your humor Balrog.
Wahoooo! BalRog video! It's been awhile. Great video man!
it is here. thank you, balrog.
That feel when the castlevania2 scene/music makes you more hype instead of creators purpose to make you feel the other way around
REALLY?!?!? THIS HAS BEEN 3000 YEARS, BALROG?!?!?!?
Thanks, Balrog.
can't wait for the next one
Great video Balrog I loved it and it gave me a smile :)
I like that bowtie guy. Fits in well with the BGRa format.
5:50 nice
that ending.
it was glorious.
I wish I was there for that livestream, it looked.... interesting

I know its your show, so you can do what you want with it, but I think it'd be cool if you did like mini 10 episode story arcs with this that are all part of an overarching story that culminates in an XY review.
The NES classic can also very easily be softmodded so that you can play any rom you want on it
Ooh! Nice use of Metal Max there Balrog!
Good thing you can now add games for the NES Classic. Just add "River City Ransom" and a few others and then you have a totally complete library.
The legend returns...
So close to 100k you deserve it
The ending should be redone as a Jojo "to be continued" meme.
Balrog's Bizarre Adventure
I know I already told you, but well done babe! I really enjoyed this episode! And what an adorably touching end, just in time for Valentine's Day. D'awwwww. xo
"Manuels," tfw you hear this joke way too often from friends and coworkers.
well not only did i miss this after knowing this came out months later but i got mine when restocked which i was lucky
Review X & Y lol hahahahahahahhahahahahah
lolololololol good joke XDXDXDXD
xddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
Waluigi WEH 12:43 top right...
11:35 "the review you're never getting"
Waluigi WEH where is pokemon XY where is it weeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee
2:35, what I think when a new balrog episode comes out.
Yo I saw your hints Balrog, can't wait for the X & Y review
Balrog why didn't you make any videos for so loooooonnnngggggg
Aldjon Cayl Dela Cruz he's a busy dude, high quality stuff takes a long time to make, especially when you have life outside of UA-cam also going on
cause he has a job and wants to make high quality videos that he can enjoy making.
We are at 600+ games now hacked onto the NES Classic. It works like a charm so look into it.
This is a top quality anime
2:43 Glorious camera shadow.
5:51 IS THIS LORE?! ARE WOODMAN AND BALROG TEAMING UP?!
I would love to own this at one point, but I too wanna rebuild my NES collection that I should've saved many years back.
I found 3 of them recently in store and flipped them on ebay for massive profit !!
congrats, now everybody hates you.
I can buy new friends now
Fuck you
Balrog's bizarre game room
2:45 When you can see the shadow of the camera and tripod.
"It's been 3,000 years!" Smooth, Balrog. lol jk
1:18 is that mr. gimmick game real? those are extremely rare
Yeah, I have one of the Genesis plug-in plays. It's pretty cool since it allows for original cartridge and controller support...... though the music is high and squeaky. It's technically a plus since the SEGA jingle sounds hilarious.
I remember when he said that it was gonna be an episode a month
3,000 YEARS!!!
1:18 Holy crap! You've got a Mr. Gimmick?! Is it the real deal? They're very expensive you know.
it's crazy how you're going through puberty right before our eyes
Loved the use of Earthbound Zero music. I really wish we could have got that on the Mini and not... The 5 other games nobody heard of/ wanted.
「Waylon Park」 *Earthbound Beginnings
He's alive!
Come on Balrog you have our full support
hope balrog does a nintendo switch unboxing like he did with the wii u!
Joke's on you. I got a used one and the previous owner had modded it. Long story short, there's a lot more than 30 games on it (to name a few additions: Mega Mans 1 + 3-6, Castlevania 3, all three Ninja Gaidens, Final Fantasy 2+3, etc).
Plot twist there is actually a bunch of NES classic editions but game stop is only selling them used
You know, I was on the fence on getting an NES mini for a while, thinking, "Nah I don't really need it." Seeing this video actually convinced me to go and get it. *eventually*
Also that ending really got at my heart strings. I don't know why, it was just hella heartwarming.
Did you get one yet?
Spencer Mills lmao, no. Although my uncles got one, and I might ask him if he doesn’t want it anymore.
No lie I just got one yesterday. A coworker of mine (we work at Walmart) bought the only one we had in stock just to see my reaction, then he let me buy it off of him because he's cool like that.
It would of been cool if they added extra little challenges for each game in a separate mode similar to NES Remix.
So many pokemon x and y hints it's crazy.
11:35
That was cold lol
i've got the famicom mini and it is beautifuuuul
question why was something like the donkey kong games on the system but not a game like earthbound beginnings?
Yes!!! Balrog is baaaack!!
Insert the next "Is he dead?" joke.
that surprize pokemon x and y refrence 2:25
i feel so sorry for balrog, he keeps talking about how big his hands are and how much problems they cause when he's playing games.
it's been 3000 years! haha xD
11:35
Who the hell did you get x and y on your nes mini .-.
If you wanna see it pause then click the time :P
+Balrog Awesome Episode bro!...But......how DID you find it?....Anyways nice episode and....the whole gift things here....sounds like this was supposed to be a Christmas Episode Originally..but anyways...I loved it and I hope to see your next review soon................................P.S...........I loved your cry here: 9:32.
What is the song at 7:35?
Im 13 so when I told my parents this thing for the holidays and I told them the problems with controllers, reseting, and the setup in my house and they actually listened and bought a long HDMI cable
yaaay, your back
I actually have that Sega handheld. (I even reviewed it)
Shameless plug
I got mine from getting it right as they were in stock.
The first time I tried to buy the NES Classic Edition it was in stock and I got it easily
+Balrog OK Here's the next episode to the Balrog Review Marathon....and ya these arn't "Reviews" and then again you could go all anime like timeline and say these are fillers...but so far I haven't heard you say otherwise, and I didn't see you most RECENT video yet, so I'M counting it as part of this marathon.

The ending to the video, such as the joke with the drum end you put in

11:35 slow down to 0.25 speed and pause on pokemon x/y
BalrogGameRoomAnime is getting so good! Jerry san is so kawaii.
hey now wait a minute! Jerry wasn't in this episode! worst episode ever!
