Sega CD - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

- The Nerd reveals how some console add-ons were never worth owning, as he takes a look at the Sega CD - an add-on for the Sega Genesis - and finds out what the games made for it are like. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 25.
In the late 1980s, Nintendo was working on CD-based add-on for the current console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. While initially partnering with Sony, they later tried it out with Philips. Even after both deals went south for Nintendo, Sega decided to try out the same kind of peripheral for their own system, the Sega Genesis (also known as the Sega Mega Drive). The first few years of the Sega CD seemed hopeful, with games that featured famous film actors and full-motion video. Initially, some people saw it as an evolution for video games, due to the games' advanced graphics and high production values. It wasn't long after the Sega CD was released, however, that people started realizing how unnecessary the add-on really was. Because the device was so unusual, it was hard to develop more "natural" video games, which is resulted in a slew of games known as "interactive movies."
In this episode, the Nerd will delve into the library of the Sega CD and see why it was such a commercial failure. He'll cover many titles, some of which are classic genres you'd expect on the Genesis, while others are failed experiments at making a movie out of a video game.
Even after all of financial trouble Sega suffered, they had no intentions to kill off the Genesis so quickly. Check out the next episode to see the even more controversial add-on, the ill fated Sega 32X: • Sega 32X - Angry Video...

Before there was monetization, sponsors and internet fame there was this guy. A creator out of passion. An artist and pioneer. I love reliving my childhood with AVGN
They rip you off and don't care one bit. He's the angriest gamer you've heaaaaaaaard
Yes he started making the nerd even before UA-cam existed!!! Still active and never lost his style
They're are still creators with passion. But creators still want to eat
So they could go to work. And make 1, maybe 2 videos in month.
Sad
This is like watching the full version of an Anime Intro
AVGN is the best anime!
Only funnier lol.
*uragirimono no requim intesifies*
@@zenny8877 ayyyyyy
Dat part 5 reference tho
Which is one of the reasons why I always skip Anime opening/closings :P
This era of UA-cam and Screwattack. Sorely missed.
Those were good times.
What happened to screwattack ?
@@cheprii-1441 got rebranded as Death Battle!
I miss being young.
Yes, these are times that will not return.
"Full motion video, as opposed to video that isn't full motion!"
Most underrated line of the entire AVGN series
*saves a .JPG as .MP4 just to spite you*
@@brovid-19 I've seen *way* too many videos like that on Twitter/X! 😅
Full-motion videos are better off as skip-able cutscenes to better interact with the world and characters, not be like movies.
2008 AVGN: "Corpse Killer consider yourself Lucky"
*13 Years Later* Corpse Killer's luck is finally ran out
It’s like a cold case being reopened in light of new evidence.
Your luck just ran out!
I wish he could to the same with the Atari 5600.
How fitting that it took 13 years for its luck to finally run out. That’s no coincidence
Corpse killer must be the luckiest game ever lol
God, it's crazy how oddly heartfelt the extended intro felt. Like, they could almost forsee the amount of nostalgia it would make us feel.
You are a pioneer James
Corey Hill He’s a hater.
He hates all video games whether they’re any good or not.
True shit. Been watching this man since I was a youngin 💯.
Rgoid ;-; I’m sure he doesn’t hate all games.
Rgoid He didn’t hate Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, a couple of Batman games, Castlevania 2 Redaction, AVGN Adventures 1 & 2, Maximum Carnage, or Mario 3, and ESPECIALLY not EarthBound. He called that game a masterpiece!
Yes
Man, I got shivers hearing the extended guitar version. The perfect way to honour previous eps, by working funny, memorable moments into a song. Tremendously creative and charming. Beautiful. Wish they did it for 200
Helluuuuuuoooo
At least there's a Sonic CD
Take a fookin boo, nerd!
Loved every second of it ❤️
But what baaaaaaarrrr is the AVGN?
“You’re just going around beating the shit out of animals”. Best description for a game ever.
Punch those damn bats
Basically every RPG in the early levels.
@@gengarzilla1685 Every video game in GENERAL from 1980-2002…
Pokémon in a nutshell
This may be the most chill AVGN video. Even when he's being angry, he sounds chill.
weirdplusho nah Nintendo magazine or Nintendo power or sword quest
That's an aspect of the Nerd I feel like copycats don't get; the Nerd actually doesn't shout that much, or at least does so in controlled bursts.
To be fair, the Sega CD wasnt THAT bad, just misguided
This might be my favorite episode love when he does the sega cd commercial
Also the constant electric buzzing in the background felt like home.
It's been a while since I heard the entire intro.
@Grant420 the shortened version definitely knows where the best part is. This long song is kinda touching but a bit amateurish
@@gemstonegynoid7475 It sounds to me like it was done this way on purpose
Its trash
Corpse Killer consider yourself lucky for being in the new AVGN episode.
We only had to wait 13 years for this.
Is that like a running joke that’s going on for 12 years? Because I just saw the newest episode and now got recommended this episode.
just a 14 year long wait time
@@shivalah Not really a running joke. James just said "Corpse killer, consider yourself lucky" in this episode, then he reviewed it 14 years later. He did something similar with Raid 2020 ("Maybe I'll review that in the year 2020,") but it didn't take as long.
It's such a shame that the Sega CD suffered so much from marketing and an overall poor library because there was a lot of good stuff on there, too. Sonic CD, Snatcher, Popful Mail, Shining Force, Earthworm Jim Special Edition, the Ecco games, a ton of shoot 'em ups... So much good stuff. So much potential.
They should make a seperate console
@Chucky Eleven i know.Segs should comeback to the market but too late most of their game tittle had appear in other console.
Don’t forget Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar: Eternal Blue!
@@IDidntWantAHandleUA-cam There was also Eternal Chanpions: Challenge from the Dark Side
Sounds like the Dreamcast.
This thing was expensive. The genesis was $129, and this was $299! You’d be paying $428 for the whole set, and your electrical bills would be higher due to these requiring separate power cables.
It only used 26 watts total
I had a Sega CD. Only had the boxed in games. They were very hard to find even then I thought.
Now consider inflation.
But thank god now its can be play on android so no more money and you can skip the loading time.....
Kind of. 😏
@@scottcharney1091 used an inflation calculator, it would be $790 for the whole set
"Yo, crushed him like a walnut - and sprinkle him on some salad - AND PUT SOME DRESSING ON THE BOY"
"Ooh! Ace must have on ankle weights!"
That part makes me laugh so fucking hard no matter how many times I see it and that gear they were rocking was rad boyeee!
I wonder how these actors are doing these days.

"Sol Fiece, MORE LIKE SOL FECES! Actually this is pretty good!" - AVGN
People think AVGN doesn't understand the impact he's had on pop culture but i think he's just so meta he's way beyond our lifetimes' comprehension
What the...no lol.
@@crypastesomemore8348 yes he is
@@crypastesomemore8348Exactly, as much as I like AVGN, he's really overall had little to nothing to do with pop culture at all...? 😭😭
AVGN is mostly known for popularizing the caustic style of reviewing media. Media critics aren't that integral to pop culture in general.

So true

Well, Night Trap is now on the PS4.
Thanks, Internet.
Don't forget that it's also on the Xbox One, and it will be coming soon in a few months. With the video that's digitally remastered, you can get achievements/trophies for getting to view some parts of the game, even the so-called "controversial" bathroom scene that would lead to the 1993 Senate hearings that would eventually birth the ESRB we all know... that would later give the remasters a Teen rating. :)
It's also on switch
@@erikperez4829 Yeah, I was about to say that. Remember back then, when the president of Nintendo said in the US Congress that Night Trap would never release on a Nintendo console :)
@Pluoc The Dragon Productions They should ban it because it's a terrible game, because it's part of videogame history, it "deserves" to get a re-release.
Night Trap walked so Fnaf could run
watching these old AVGN episodes over again is like meeting an old friend from your childhood
Hello from 2023
@@Iamnotrandom565hello from same year lol
The buzzing in the background.. so nostalgic.
"'And since the neighborhood really sucks-'
Like this game sucks!"
I love the Nerd's little sarcastic barbs like that. Always perfectly timed.
I don't believe what i just saw!.... i know, this game sucks! xD
@Bryan the Figure man
Yes, it's Corey Haim. Debbie "Blondie" Harry, and R. Lee Emmery (drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket and the show Mail Call) were also in it. I never played it, but it somehow got re-released and has a 7/10 on Steam.
Its very awesome to give us different variations of the Nerd intro.
"Why can't a turtle swim...why can't I land a plane..?"
phenom_ 1986 sub me i sub you
But not when he substitutes it for missing out the best games. Yes The Sega CD (or Mega CD, as it was known outside of the US) was a huge waste of time and was largely responsible for the Sega Saturn's failure because Sega still had half their programmers working on the CD and 32X titles. But the Sega CD did still have a couple of worthwhile titles. Snatcher was a huge cult classic.
This wasn't one of those intros you would call awesome!!!
Why can't video game ninjas swim?
haha! Yes
Avgn deserves better. He is a visionary, a pioneer. There wont be any kind of gamers on youtube without this guy.
Thanks.
Watching the extended intro and older episodes now is like rewatching your favorite cartoon imo
Longest intro for a video in existence
Hold up 4,200 likes wtf?
*Greatest
yes
3 words: Too Many Cooks
It's 2:57 seconds long
Yep
"So grab a beer and be patient"

Jesus, I remember watching this in high school. Classic still.
No you don’t
i was in Middle School in the early years of AVGN
As an april fools joke, James should upload a new nerd episode entirely compressed like this 3:53
5:45 “What the fuck am I watching?” Best AVGN reaction ever
this episode is now, as of this post May 2nd 2017, TEN YEARS OLD!
now 11
about the same time i started listening to the intro
the moment you reinitialize the XBOX 360 is as classic as some of the games presented here when this episode published.
bigslim7777 now 12
bigslim7777 it’s now 12 years old
“Full motion video! Opposed to video that isn’t full motion!” I love that line, no one talks about that one.
I think that's my favorite James line. Like he's mad at the idea of it.
6:57 Night Trap was controversial for this in 1993. As in, there were literally Senate hearings about this one scene. It should’ve just been controversial for being a terrible game.
I actually like it, in an arcade-y/b-movie way.
How the fuck do you even kill a corpse? It's a _corpse_.
is you fkn capable of spellng?
Zombies
then kill the corpse even more.(recommend to be overkill

It's a reference to a prominent Sega CD commercial. "You still don't have Sega CD? What are you waiting for, Nintendo to make one??"

James’ videos have remained top quality to this day but sometimes re watching the old episodes just feels nice and cozy. Takes me back to when I would watch these as a kid.
"I don't believe what I just saw."
"I know this game sucks!" xD
"Hi"
"Hi"
"My name´s Eddie"
"Hi Eddie"
"Since my neighborhood sucks..."
"Like this game sucks!"
Oh, hi Mark.
Mr.Krabs best xD
these videos aged so well, they are so well made they still hold up to this day

The Sega CD could have been awesome if the developers making games for it utilized it differently. Snatcher, for example, is a fantastic game. It took advantage of the CD audio and it enhanced the overall game.
+Electrohead92 It could be even better if they put the 32x technology inside the Sega CD.
Andre Gon At that point it would have to be its own console, which is essentially a less powerful Saturn.
Rewatching all these episodes feels like home, thank you james and thank you all.
This system was 16 years old when this video was made - about the same age as the 360 or PS3 is now
Damn 2007 this guy is a fuckin legend. James Rolf thank you for all the great memories and for the nostalgia blast I'm having.

@@VixXstazosJOB I don't know exactly when it happened but I know it has a limited run release on ps4. i'm as confused as anyone would
These older episodes are the best. I love the "garage band" aesthetics👍
11:16 for a second, I thought this was the intro to Arthur.
Honestly the Sega CD's biggest fault was how hard it pushed the gimmick of full motion video, instead of its other improvements over the genesis. Sonic CD, like the video mentioned, was one of the few that actually tried to be a game, rather than an interactive video, saving the FVM feature for opening and closing scenes (which looked like garbage on the cd honestly. The computer port at least had them in full) The Ecco games were also great, granted they were ports from the Genesis version, but less buggy, slightly more beatable, and with a much better soundtrack.
i love to hear the extended intro every now and again. not sure why so many people are complaining about it. its not like its used in every video and it can be skipped
MethrilSword23 the reason so many people are complaining is because it’s a bad song intro that lasts 2:57. It’s like they front loaded the video with the audio equivalent of diarrhea.
That extended intro is perfection
2020. I just heard the full version of the introduction. Perfect.
There’s something very comforting about watching AVGN after a long week of work !
IM STILL WATCHING THIS IN 2019

Why is he
And I bet you still don't own a Sega cd.
What are you waiting for nintendo to make one

6:35 " So, this is all you do ? just click around and try to catch this guys , yes " . AVGN just describes five nights at freddy's , with 6 years of anticipation .

Asafe Gonzaga point & click adventures are nothing like that
Can't really say how many times i've watched this episode and still be entertained
AVGN was the beginning of my passion for video game history. It’s crazy how much I learned just from these videos about the failed SEGA peripherals or the Jaguar. Now video game history is a huge hobby of mine and I love learning and talking about the console wars of the 90s, but I really do owe it to these videos that sparked this interest.
This is probably my favourite AVGN episode imo
How can something be your favorite in your own opinion? Does that imply something could be YOUR favorite in someone else’s opinion?... Having a favorite IS an opinion, so what you’re saying saying is redundant redundant (
@@zebdawson3687 did I ask

Anyone catch that Spinal Tap reference at 11:55?
"The review for our album 'Shark Sandwich' was merely two words: 'Shit sandwich'."
3:06, I wonder if this character with the sunglasses that's speaking to the Nerd through the TV is some kind of predecessor to "Mr. Rigs".
5:51 Favorite part. He sounds so genuine... I said the same thing at that same second. LOL

Oh my, did anyone else remember when their TV's had to be set to channel 3?
I still had to do it until about 2007 until I finally got a flatscreen TV. Yes, I had to go to channel 3 with an Xbox 360 because our TV was made in 1991. I got my PS3 two weeks after the flatscreen though.
***** To tell you the truth, I didn't have a flat screen till 2010.
EndlessFunctionality I still don't have a flat screen...
Roselieansy Do you still have to go to channel 3?
Batfreeze No, my tv has special AUX channel for stuff like that. (Even when the device isn't using an auxiliary connection, you still go to AUX)

I love how there's always a different version of the themesong every episode, that's awesome. This is the longest version so far, I think! Epic!
ahh back when AVGN had an intro and outro that spans half the video haha
Pioneerz yeah for his older videos we might as well have just came for the theme song😀
I think this was the only episode with a full version of the song. In all other episodes the song was like 1 minute long
"Willy Beamish" XDD
I would always hear ppl prank calling other ppl with an avgn soundboard. Someone would answer the phone and be like " who's this?" And he'd say " willy beamish " lol
AlienMyth64 it's imho an ok game. Not great but not awful.

Would be awesome if you would play the full opening on a new episode again.
This is probably my favorite episode, partly because the intro is unedited!
I miss the annotation that explained why that was the case though.
The longest but best intro for Avgn ever!!!
The intro was about 3 minutes long.
