Hey, James. You should do Clock Tower the next year with the upcoming remaster this month. It was an SNES game that didn't release outside of Japan back in the day but it's a classic that took inspiration of Phenomena (1985).
Funny thing about the game over screen is that it changes once you've died eight times. If she has fangs like she did on the screen you showed, you're too late to save her and you'll get the bad ending. Before that she'll look like she does on the option screen.
Imagine you're Dracula. You kidnap a girl, take her back to your castle, and look out to see her boyfriend riding up to your gates completely unarmed. You pre-emptively celebrate while siccing your army of minions on the helpless fool. Then you witness him beat the tar out of all of them with his bare hands. Then when he gets to you, and the boss music starts, his HP bar is bigger. It is at that moment that you come to a realization: you are not the final boss. He is.
Simon Belmot: Yes, I'll need this sacred whip, holy water, knives, axes and this cross that flies like a boomerang. The guy in this game: Catch these hands, son!
You know, if I were Dracula looking down from the castle, and I saw this guy barefist brawl a werewolf with a knife, I would probably decid it's easier to just find another woman.
Plot twist: Dracula never wanted the guy's girlfriend. After hundreds of years of immortality he just wanted to bare knuckle fight a worthy adversary to the death.
Now, to be totally fair: Seta didn't actually make Wizard of Oz, they only published it. That one was made by a dev called Manley and Associates. Nosferatu, however, was both developed and published by Seta themselves.
Can you imagine dracula’s minions coming to him to explain how a random dude came into their castle- no weapons, no backup- and just started handing out Ls left and right
I find it sad that the Nerd did not finished the game to see the ending, because: If you die too often, and according to him you WILL die too often, the girlfried on the picture in the game over screen will develop fangs, and then the game ends with the boyfriend comming too late, and the girlfriend is now a vampire. Spooky!
in defense of the game over screen, it has a sense of melancholy. the story is that the dude is going to rescue his girlfriend from dracu...nosferatu. but you died and she was never saved. so now all thats left of either of you is the last photo you took together. maybe it would've been more obvious if the photo was attached to a "missing" sign or something. but anyway, i actually really like it.
Actually the game over screen is scary for a different reason. Her Teeth are Hidious! If I had a girlfriend with a mouth like that, I don't think I would barefist my way through hordes of undead to save her.
My son(11) and i have been watching AVGN for 5 years. Yes, he was 6 when he started watched this foul mouthed SOAB! LOL. Every Friday we pick up and XL cheese pizza and watch AVGN. It's our thing and we re-watch old ones when new ones aren't available. It's our weekly tradition and the highlight of our week/month. We appreciate what you do Nerd. Love your videos dude.
One thing the developers really nailed down is the aesthetics, boss backgrounds specially look absolutely gorgeous. I really wanted to like this game but I went through the three phases over and over again until I gave up.
*Oh man he's going to get the bad ending, he's going to get the bad ending, he's highlighting the photograph he's going to get the bad ending!* .......... you blue-balled me, nerd.
As a romanian myself, I never thought of that. 'Nosferatu' is derived from the romanian word 'nesuferit, nesuferitul(articulated)' (insufferable person).Huh
Incredibly fitting how he drops an episode about a vampire game at 11pm in October. Not just Halloween season, but it’s already nice and dark out, perfect for a vampire
I kind of doubt it. One, their names(Kyle and Errin) are a lot more modern. And two, his clothes scream 1980's/90's. But you are right, it's to let you know you died too many times, so you get the bad ending.
I think having a benign photograph as a game over or victory screen amps up the creep factor, House of the Dead has the same concept with photo of the research team you're supposed to rescue, and even that changes when you're getting the bad ending.
With the game over screen maybe it’s just the limited graphics, but it looks like the girlfriend has fangs. Like Dracula turned your girlfriend into a vampire and dude didn’t notice until she decides to take a bite out of him. I could be wrong but at least that would give the game over screen a little more gravitas.
Whoisthisgit made a video on this game citing that detail. Basically if you die too many times, she has the fangs and bites you in the last cutscenes of the game, earning you the bad ending. But if you can beat the game below a death threshold, she won't have the fangs
I'm to understand that's the case, depending on how many tries it takes to beat the game. If you beat the game sooner, I think she's remains normal. At least according to a video I saw about the ending
That's what actually happens in the bad ending, in the Japanese version. If you continue 8 times before beating the game, she gets turned, then bites you.
@@jonathanrobles7377 That's honestly a really cool feature! And knowing myself and a few other gamers, we'd be too stubborn to give up until we got both endings. It's not determination though, it'd be pure spite that fueled us.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986He's a movie producer who worked on the 1995 dracula movie along with a bunch of other notable movies his Wikipedia page mentions AVGN lol
WKUK censored all their remastered content. It's really refreshing having your uncensored style still bless us. Unbelievable how long you've been doing this James!
@@Xarfax321 Those approaches are also viable, though Guts mostly used various huge swords, then crossbows and occasionally a small cannon (and it was all really awesome).
As soon as he said you only punch because you ran out of ammo, I started thinking of the hardest game mode and how you punch in order to conserve ammo because it's scarce.
Guy riding a horse in 1990 makes some sort of sense. Maybe castle is in a remote place where gas stations aren't common, and, although he is more than willing punching Nosferatu into ashes, he isn't willing pulling a car without fuel around.
There’s a thing called gas tanks. Dude could’ve just stockpiled some in preparation for this whole rescue, but maybe the road to drac’s castle is unpaved, uneven terrain, so perhaps a horse still makes some sense to a degree.
Imagine being this version of Nosferatu: you have weapon upgrades hidden all in your castle in expectation of the human you expect to arrive armed to improve his arsenal. Only for this madlad to arrive unarmed, never even see any of the weapons as if they don't exist, and then when he finally makes it to you, you expect your boss music to play only to hear a completely different music being played while seeing the guy has more health crystals than you do. Clearly, the bad controls are not an oversight, they are a design choice to give Nosferatu somewhat of a chance against that human.
@@Rob_Thorsman Why would you though? That just generates confusion. Imagine if Doom and Centipede were both just "shooting games". Clearly they're nothing like each other, just as Final Fight and Street Fighter are nothing like each other, hence why one is a beat em up (because you beat up multiple people at once) and the other is a tournament fighter (because you fight opponents in a tournament setting).
Back in the day, the term "fighting games" referred to both games like Street Fighter AND Final Fight. To differentiate, we used to call them Tournament Fighters (Street Fighter) and Brawler Fighters/Brawlers (Final Fight). I still do.
Thank you James. For the last 18 years you haven't missed a Halloween or Christmas, while also always doing Monster Madness on some level on top of other projects and its a tradition that I have never taken for granted. The Original, the Godfather of UA-cam and my favorite content creator. Here's to hopefully many more years to come! Again I wanted to say thank you sir!
7:03 is it just me or does his girlfriend in the photo look like a vampire herself? I think the real plot is she got sick of dating a human and left him for Nosferatu. Now he has a bloodlust for vampires.
It's not just you. She gets turned if you take too long to save her, or if you die too many times (I think) and the game over picture reflects that. So if she's got fangs in the picture, prepare for the bad ending. 😅 It's very Prince of Persia in that way, too.
@@abduljabars Oh, sidenote to my response above; if you want to see the bad ending to this, check out WhoIsThisGit. He covers a bunch of gaming stuff, especially bad endings for games, and he has a video on the bad ending for Nosferatu.
Even the game named Shatterhand - where the point of the game is that your character punches everything - has weapons. You can get a robot that follows you and has lasers and saw blades that it shoots. It's called Shatterhand! It's a punch-everything game. It has weapons! But not this? You don't even get a crossbow or something? That is so strange.
In shatterhand the main guys fist is also a weapon. It seems part metallic on cover AND you can hit bullets to make them disappear. Let me repeat: YOU ARE PUNCHING BULLETS! He didn't just use weapons. He IS a weapon
I can’t get the image out of my head of Dracula looking out over his castle grounds with a goblet of wine. Suddenly there’s this inhuman roar as John Wickham charges up the path spear tackles some poor zombie clean through the door sending splintered wood and metal everywhere. Unrelated but this dude 9:14 looks like Dozer from Timesplitters 3
Did this guy have NO friends? Even an acquaintence to say "Hey, at least take a stick or something with you" Nope, this dude just DECIDES to go "handle" Castlevania with just his "Dukes". Now THAT is SNES-foratu levels of BADASSERY!
Watch them if you're interested. Most of them are so old that they're public domain and can be watched on almost any website, you can find them super easily. I'd suggest the original Nosferatu movie.
@@MarioTheLiopleurodon Nosferatu, Metropolis, King Kong, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton movies, Battleship Potemkin, The Lodger, The Thief of Bagdad and many many more
She does if you Continue 8 times before you beat the game, at which point she's been turned. She bites you to turn you at the end if you keep going and finish the game without completely starting over (or presumably starting with the level select which I assume starts from 0 continues).
11:25 The same kind of thing happens in Zombies Ate My Neighbors, another horror themed SNES game but that game is actually amazing. However you can avoid the damage when you open things if you're careful about it, but in this game it looks like taking a hit is unavoidable.
@@KamyKam It’s an incredibly small detail but once you die 8 times the girl in the picture will have her mouth changed from normal to having fangs, meaning she was bitten by Dracula offscreen and even if you reach the end she will bite you and cause you to reach the bad ending.
I got to thinking primarily about Phantom Blood, because Jonathan mostly does unarmed combat (even if charging his strikes with hamon). Joseph uses various weapons comparatively often in Battle Tendency, and in Stardust Crusaders almost everyone is using stands, which are sometimes basically weapons.

I absolutely freaking love AVGN and all of Cinemassacre. Been a fan for a while and I even went and got the AVGN game. Always immediately click when AVGN posts something new. I even go back and watch old stuff constantly. ❤❤❤

I heard of this from the Nintendo Power article on it, and nowhere else. Nobody else has ever spoken of this game to me, until AVGN suddenly dropped this vid
Nerd, you need to press up to disengage the attack mode. Can't do the far jump and run when in attack mode (9:20). Commands on this game is very precise.

So, the game wants you to beat it before you die 8 times with the controls that janky?
And here i was wondering, if her fangs on the photo have some meaning, since huge pixels are quite noticeable
Isn't this similar to Splatterhouse (2 or 3, I forget which one...)? Where you have to save the g/f before something or other happens to her?
@@jimb.7523it was Splatterhouse 3 if I remember correctly where your wife and kid can die depending on how fast you play the game
That's brutal
Imagine you're Dracula. You kidnap a girl, take her back to your castle, and look out to see her boyfriend riding up to your gates completely unarmed. You pre-emptively celebrate while siccing your army of minions on the helpless fool.

- The theme of Nosferatu, the SNES game.

She does if you Continue 8 times before you beat the game, at which point she's been turned. She bites you to turn you at the end if you keep going and finish the game without completely starting over (or presumably starting with the level select which I assume starts from 0 continues).
Yes, she does.
@@UltimaKeyMaster. That is awesome!
@@MountainLWolfThis is very awesome indeed!
7:45 The girl in the photo has fangs in the game over screen. Sort of implying Dracula got to her like Mina in the book.
I've read she gets fangs if you die too many times, and this will also affect the ending.
That being said, Mina survived in the end. The same cannot be said about her friend Lucy Westenra, however.
11:25 The same kind of thing happens in Zombies Ate My Neighbors, another horror themed SNES game but that game is actually amazing. However you can avoid the damage when you open things if you're careful about it, but in this game it looks like taking a hit is unavoidable.
The silhouette of the Nerd on the wall made me laugh out loud. XD
It did???
@@michaeltansey4717 It's a reference to some iconic shots of the original movie. You can laugh at worse things.
Thank you James for creating content. Been watching for 17 years! Seriously thank you for the laughs and happiness
When you realize what’s actually happening in the gameover screen it becomes a whole different level of creepy.
I found it creepy just looking at it, especially the music. But what's going on exactly?
@@KamyKam It’s an incredibly small detail but once you die 8 times the girl in the picture will have her mouth changed from normal to having fangs, meaning she was bitten by Dracula offscreen and even if you reach the end she will bite you and cause you to reach the bad ending.
@@Ecua73 Would the girl be even visible on the photo?
@@Ecua73it probably just bad drawing, right?(Shaking)
@@Ecua73I thought I saw fangs
17:24-17:44
Stardust Crusaders.
Excellent video from AVGN.
Only nobody in the game is a Stand User.
I got to thinking primarily about Phantom Blood, because Jonathan mostly does unarmed combat (even if charging his strikes with hamon).
Joseph uses various weapons comparatively often in Battle Tendency, and in Stardust Crusaders almost everyone is using stands, which are sometimes basically weapons.
Nah, It's Jonathan vs DIO! Part 1. WRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Nothing beats a new Nerd episode.
What about 2 new nerd episodes? 😮
@@jesickaaddams7199 Has such a fabled thing ever happened before!? 😉😉
except an old nerd episode
Except the dude from this game, he seemingly beats everything
I was still surprised tbh that he is still doing new ones
Confusion..... Chance... ..Fatigue......you just described my feelings trying to play Soulslike and Roguelite games.
In Soulslike games, you have the online option to ask for help. Difficulty radically drops when other people join and help you.
Great episode, Nerd! Loved it! But one thing...BRING BACK THE KYLE JUSTIN VERSION OF YOUR SONG!
8:40 "... then press down and Y." More like press down and WHY!!!!!
Avgn for before bedtime. Legendary
Now I'm imagining Nosferatu going up against the Hash Slinging Slasher.
Yoooo this guy's still going after all these years???? What an absolute legend!
You realised this now? 🤨
I was having a really rough week of depression and this video made me laugh out loud. Thanks AVGN. The three phases were so funny
Sorry to hear that mate, I hope things improve and you have a great end to the year - and remember, be kind to yourself! 😊
@@TomNoles007 thanks Tom
@@TomNoles007just ask him out on a date already
earliest i've ever been to an avgn video
Same
Same man same
yeaa
Yep!
Grats bruv
And Wolf Man isn't coming out until January... is there some misguided belief people don't want to see horror movies in October?
Crazy you mention that I was just going to watch the 2012 version bc I never have
"That would have been too obvious because blaah blaah blaah smartypants reasoning"
Box office returns speak for themselves when it comes to horror movies released in October.
I absolutely freaking love AVGN and all of Cinemassacre. Been a fan for a while and I even went and got the AVGN game. Always immediately click when AVGN posts something new. I even go back and watch old stuff constantly. ❤❤❤
13:40 . . . What.
hot
Jesus lord, that game over screen is depressingly terrifying.
Go and get laid then
Very uncanny valley 😨
😰😰😰😰😰😰
Very Creepy as well
Just to take a moment and say, so glad that you have been around for so long, and are still here, still producing for all of us
No mutant, no weapons, just bad assery.
Theres another Nosferatu game called Nosferatu Wrath of Malachi. It's one of the jankiest games you can get your hands on
And still, miles better than this piece of sheit.
Civvie11 did a great playthrough of it.
The Jank of two thousand and three years!
I love the silent movie card scene at the end, truly felt like watching Nosferatu
I remember playing Nosferatu on the SNES when I was a kid it's a very hard game to beat.
I never even heard of it
Okay, I was wondering about the Christmas release date too! What an odd date to release a monster movie like Nosferatu!
If weren’t for the spongebob episode graveyard shift, none of us would’ve knew who nosferatu is.
Your B&W ending to this video is friggin' brilliant!
I felt the same the way releasing the Nosferatu 2024 Movie on Christmas 🎄 ? What ? 2:15
Sometimes studios will release their big important movies at Christmas essentially to keep them fresh in the mind for award season.
The original Scream released on December 20th 1996
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HORROR FANS!!!!
Funny how Willem Dafoe played Nosferatu.
It's because girls will drag their dates out to these kind of movies.
[cracks a rolling rock]
So close to Halloween i was getting worried there was no special 😅
Minion: so what kind of weapons this guy had? He destroyed the apes, the zombie knights! The flying heads! The flying fatman!! And dracula is still in intensive care!! What weapons he had!!
Minions: hands!.....it was just hands!!!( Drinks whiskey)
I like that in both AVGN and James and Mike Mondays, they go from loving the game to hating it at the end. XD
7:32 - Well... I suppose horses still exist in 1990!
He's wearing a hoodie!! 😂
THis was awesome. I love the Nosferatu silent film editing at the end too. We may not get as many nerd videos anymore, but what we do get is golden.
I heard of this from the Nintendo Power article on it, and nowhere else. Nobody else has ever spoken of this game to me, until AVGN suddenly dropped this vid
Nerd, you need to press up to disengage the attack mode.
Can't do the far jump and run when in attack mode (9:20).
Commands on this game is very precise.
I love that James is still making episodes. Always entertaining!
Nosferatu is my favorite silent film.
Watch The Passion of Joan of Arc and Haxen.
i see.
Mine is Metropolis
Anything from Chaplin for me. "The Kid", "Modern Times", "The Gold Rush", "City Lights"
..Murnau's Nosferatu is classic too, though.
So... Nosferatu is the new Jekyll and Hyde, in a few years he is beating it.
Love ya James we ain’t letting them cancel you 💪
Please do a full walk through absolutely enjoy your videos
"Nosferaaatuu......"
- Spongebob & Squidward & Richard

Do you have references?
I dont know who your are, or what kind of content you create or how your other vids are, but this video was GREAT Entertainment !! 12 of 10 !!! nice work
Don't you just love it when you're rewatching some old Halloween Nerd episodes and then a new one comes out instantly after. Because I sure do.
Man, I needed a nostalgic video like this to forget the world to tonight. Thank you.
