Thanks for being you, Derek! We had people at shows talk about Metal Storm and be like "oh, like from the HVGN video?" Your enthusiasm for this game (even 12 years ago) hasn't been matched. Keep kicking ass, you guys!
I remember seeing the collector’s edition at SoCal Retro Gaming Expo in February and mentioning Derek to a Retrobit employee. I don’t remember if they recognized the name or SSFF, but clearly they knew the game’s significance in the history of UA-cam gaming shows.
@@Kalle72 I mean, I deal with anxiety myself and telling it to fuck off and doing it anyway is the hardest thing to do. But honestly, that's how a lot of it is done.
You're literally why I got into retro-gaming in the first place. AVGN was fun, sure. It's great to shit on bad games, but you brought a positive spin on that reviewer formula as your cover of his tune discussed. There's nothing more satisfying that finding a hidden gem no one talks about for a system, finding it to be incredibly affordable, and then playing it only to find out holy shit this game rules. Thanks, Derek!
Your genuine, humble glee is so endearing. I’ve never seen more pure and sincere joy in a UA-cam video. You’re a treasure and this channel is wonderful! Keep it up.
Splatterhouse and Sweet Home here - though never got my hands on the machine for the latter... and now that I think of it, never managed to get my hands on the re-release of the splatterhouse game for Xbox/PS3(?) ... back on it's release - but the fascination to both was still strong! :) Derek Alexander, really got us into great game aye?
He got me into the Splatterhouse games, Clash at Demonhead and the Gargoyle's Quest trilogy. Don't have as much enthusiasm for Demon's Crest as Derek does (it's a fine game but has a few things I really didn't care for) but those first two games in the series are phenomenal with the first Gargoyle's Quest currently being my favorite Game Boy game in my collection.
So happy to have followed until now and to see the validation in your face when reading the box. Congrats sir and thanks for all the years of “happiness” ...and for taking care of those damn skeletons, I mean I’ve never seen one fighting so you’re doing the job well!
I would love to see Nintendo add Metal Storm to the NES games on Nintendo Switch Online. Would be the best way to get everyone to be able to play this game.
Happy Boombastic It’s sad to see you actually edited your comment after posting - and yet you STILL write “you’re” instead of “your”. I guess English isn’t your first language.
Happy Boombastic I didn’t. Your mistake is just so big, that it poked my eyes. It changes the meaning of what you are trying to say. It shows absolute disregard for the English language. Sad.
@@Kalle72 look you're right about the meaning and all that but at the same time you're making such a big deal about a mistake that anybody using Swype on their phone can make. Sad, that you're wasting time trying to act intelligent. Maybe go to to high school and learn how to make a compelling argument.
Happy Boombastic You are the one throwing insults left and right. Does that make a “compelling argument”? Why would I even need an “argument” to point out a mistake? After all, YOU are the one who is in the wrong :)
Something to make you feel better about driving it off the lot: you stated your certificate number. It's now the most valuable copy because you're the one on the back of the box and really are responsible for this even existing. The only way it could get more valuable is if you went and signed the certificate.
I remember catching that 1st video way back and just bingeing every single HVGN video and following you to now. Happy to see you still doing what you love!
Part of me wishes you reshot the old camera shots as HVGN. Crazy to think how long ago I watched that first Metal Storm video. Also...huge pop to have yourself quoted on the game box
My gosh! Has it really been so many years since I first started watching HVGN. Time sure flies Been wanting a copy since I watched that original review but have still yet to actually get myself one.
thats an amazing job for a first video - I was hooked since I watched it way back then. You are one of best IMO because you focused more on the passion for the history and details of games instead of shitting and complaining about them, which was hugely popular back then. Youre an inspiration!
This video is wholesome. You look so happy, it’s actually kinda contagious. Anyway, congrats. Your videos are really informative and entertaining, so it’s fully deserved.
Happily smiling at you getting quoted. I loved that review. I missed it when growing up, but I played Metalstorm later because of your review. Irem is dope.
Congratulations to my friend I love your show stop skeletons from fighting and also the original Happy game nerd it's an honor to be recognized and for your original work
I remember watching your HVGN videos because of your enthusiasm and you putting the spotlight on games that weren't commonly talked about. 12 years later and you're still keeping that spirit!
Been following you seens I found you and kind of bought the most of NES games you made videos on, you got an amazing taste in games and your work on your videos is so good. Congrats on your progress and keep on working! Always looking forward for your next video!
I've been watching your channel for a while and I love how positive you've always been about everything. I had no idea you'd done this review of Metal Storm - a game which I always appreciated and didn't realize was so overlooked (I mean, Nintendo Power did an entire issue on it!) and I love that you even started out your channel as a source of positivity in classic gaming. Gaming UA-cam needs more folks like you. But I'm glad that you're here already.
Congrats to you, Derek! I've been watching your videos since 2007 and I'm so happy to see you get these accolades. Congrats for all you've done. I've been a loooong term lurker on your channel but I've definitely seen everything you've done. Love your channel and so happy for you! :)
I remember watching Derek as the Happy Video Game Nerd back on retroware TV which was the only way to watch it before it came onto UA-cam. I used to binge them while I worked overnights. That was really cool of them to quote you on their collectors box. You've come a long way, so you deserve it.
...God, I've really been here since HVGN huh? You've come pretty far and really introduced me to a good amount of games from NES/SNES library in my teens back then. Good way to end the year with this channel lol
I just got this last collection last year after watching both of your videos on Metal Storm. Been a fan for years since then. A friend of mine did a video also of Metal Storm a year or two and I got to be a part of it. And congratulations on being mentioned on the box! 😁
I met you with that first Metal Storm video when it just came out and became an instant fan. Those old videos are still great, and I frequently re-watch them... specially the Splatterhouse ones, for whatever reason... Thanks for all the hard work, man. I'm honestly happy it all payed off.
Your old videos are still amazing! Every Halloween I always go back to your Splatter House and Happy Homes videos. Even sometimes re-watching your Earthbound video since you were the one that got me into it!
That's how long I've been following you tbh. I remember that guy uploading a video about an NES game I never played. Been following ever since. My channel is almost as old as UA-cam is and I've seen content creator come and go. I'm glad you're still in this space.
Yo Uncle Derek! Been watching since the Retroware.com days, Can't believe it has been so long. I was in high school learning about the retro Goodies and began collecting games. It was thanks to you I Discovered so many good games including earthbound. Here I am as an adult ready to get married and still loving and supporting tour contenta, Man! Congrats!
Metal Storm is a great game. It's heartwarming to see with how much love and wonder you hold the cartridge, and how you can still feel the awe when you play. LOL and also the way you notice the controls are switched. You're awesome man, congratulations!
Coming Full Circle, my Man. Awesome to see your hard work paying off. Your place in my Old Internet Hall of Fame was well Earned, Derek. Congrats. Also, that Box looks awesome. I'm not usually one for Collector's Editions, but this one seems worth it's price. Loved the Game myself as a kid, so glad to see it get some love.
I have been subscribed since the original Metal Storm video. I bought the gsme because of you. I love how genuine your joy Is in this video. I am so happy to see you get recognized for your influence and part in popularizing Metal Storm. This video is so real and makes me very happy
I'm so glad you covered this collector's edition! I am definitely going to buy! I'm so excited! Metal Storm is my favorite NES game, I played it all the time when I was a kid. I would show all my friends metal storm and mega man 6. 8 days till I have money to get it.
That look on your face on seeing the box-quote. Priceless. Certainly looking forward to checking it out when my copy arrives. It's so great to see stuff like this happen - the work in not just reissuing the original release, but going back to make a new edition, is great from a preservation angle.
I watched your Metal Storm video LITERALLY a few weeks ago. You were cool then, and you're cool now. Keep the video game nerd in you happy Derek. You earned this!
Been watching you since I was in middle school...about to graduate college now. Still got my OG copy of Metal Storm cus of you -- surreal and heartwarming to see an outlet recognize your old work, despite how much you don't like it...I'm DEAD....FUCKING....SERIOUS.............................. ;)
I remember being obsessed with the Angry Video Game Nerd way back in the day. The summer I turned 12 I recall it rained A LOT where I live(d) so I spent a considerable amount of time inside just dicking around on UA-cam scouring the site for more AVGN videos, being fully unaware just how small his repertoire of content was back then. Then one day just out of morbid curiosity I got the idea to alternatively look up Happy Video Game Nerd just to se if I'd get any results. And just as luck would have it I found your content when you were then known as the HVGN. I think your Splatterhouse videos were the first I watched of yours and I was a fan since. I always loved that you took the time to talk about the lesser known titles out there and opened the gateway for people to find underrated or flat out forgotten gems. Keep going, man. I always enioy seeing what you bring to the table next.
I started watching this channel around the time of the Sparkster/Rocket Knight reviews (I adore those games) and I'm so glad I've stuck with it ever since. Even back then your videos were quality and I'm so happy you kept on making them.
I still watch those old videos. They were great then and still are today. I discovered HVGN back then and I've followed you ever since. Keep up the good work and be proud my man!!
You should have brought back your wine glass and took a sip! That will kick me in the nostalgia balls so hard. But maaan even so this video takes me back. You were (and still is) one of my favorite youtubers.
I started watching you after looking up Startropics reviews on UA-cam back when it was released on Wii. So awesome to see you validated like this! Congrats Derek!

*metal-face*
I've been watching you this entire time, sir! You earned this!
yeah, don't worry about it! You and Derek make butt-kicking videos!
So have I. Been watching you since your retrowareTv days
also talked about you in my French streaming / VOD about the re-release Derek ! Love from France ;)
Was there for HVGN and I'm here now. That back of the box quote couldn't have been any more perfect.
I remember seeing the collector’s edition at SoCal Retro Gaming Expo in February and mentioning Derek to a Retrobit employee. I don’t remember if they recognized the name or SSFF, but clearly they knew the game’s significance in the history of UA-cam gaming shows.
I feel bad for the poor intern that was forced to watch my old videos!
I feel like the moral of the story is screw anxiety, do it anyway.
Thank you, I was about to drop out on doing a heist, but you are right, I can do THIS!!! :D
Ok boomer
@@Kalle72 I don't think that means what you think it means.
@@Kalle72 I mean, I deal with anxiety myself and telling it to fuck off and doing it anyway is the hardest thing to do. But honestly, that's how a lot of it is done.

Thanks, Derek!
I'm so proud of you, brother!
What timing! I just re-watched that HVGN Metal Storm vid about 1 hour before you uploaded this new one! Thanks guys!
I think watching Derek realize he's got a quote on the back of the box is the purest and most wholesome thing ever.
Oh shit, I'm gonna have a Derek Alexander quoted game in my collection soon, rad
"About 12 years ago"
Derek you swell gentlemen, don't scare me like that!
Your genuine, humble glee is so endearing. I’ve never seen more pure and sincere joy in a UA-cam video. You’re a treasure and this channel is wonderful! Keep it up.
Been a fan of yours since the HVGN days.
*You got me into Splatterhouse, Sweet Home and Wild Guns!* 👍👍👍

Derek: "Turns out Pluto was actually the gigadeath laser beam."
Grace: "So they predicted that."
Grace you are hilarious.
2:54- No matter how many times I see this, it always amazes me when an online critic is featured on an official product in some way or another.
At this point many youtube critics are more credible than mainstream journalists.
So happy to have followed until now and to see the validation in your face when reading the box. Congrats sir and thanks for all the years of “happiness” ...and for taking care of those damn skeletons, I mean I’ve never seen one fighting so you’re doing the job well!
I watched that video 12 years ago, then had a blast playing metalstorm all the way to the end, never thanked you, so.. Thank you!
12 years ago I found your channel with that MetalStorm review and it has been a pleasure witnessing your growth.
9:41
That moment, that sound, when he took that Nintendo cartridge out of its black plastic protector...man that took me back hard.
The love I have for this video is unreal....some real heartfelt emotion in here. I feel it!
Good on You Derek! You spoke from the heart and now.. You're quoted on the back of the box for one of Your favorite games. Congrats! Great video too!!
Jesus Christ, it really has been 12 years, hasn't it? Remember folks, good games are great, cuz they're good.
What!?
I love how genuine you are. Been watching for a little over a year and it's been a fun journey that I hope continues.
I would love to see Nintendo add Metal Storm to the NES games on Nintendo Switch Online. Would be the best way to get everyone to be able to play this game.
NEVER FORGET YOUR ROOTS LOPHATJELLO!!!
I'm gonna buy this for myself because of you Derek. You're 2007 self you convinced me to buy this

Congrats on such an honor.
I've been watching your videos since the very start. Always liked how you focused on "hidden gems" *Metal Jesus intensifies*
Don't say that ! It'll summon him !
The non-stop smile on his face makes me so happy!

Don’t tempt me, I think I still have that old camera in storage!
My gosh!
Has it really been so many years since I first started watching HVGN.
Time sure flies
Been wanting a copy since I watched that original review but have still yet to actually get myself one.
I love how he opens up the box, and the first thing he says is "Oh Wow, Paper." That's going to be me on Christmas morning lol! 😂😂😂
I played MetalStorm because of you and loved the old videos. Keep killing it! 😊
"It's a real box."

been here since like 08 (when i was 8 years old), this is surreal to see. that quote is well-earned!
I bought Metal Storm originally because of your review, and recently copped this because of, well, you. Thanks!

Been watching you since Little Nemo. keep doing what you do
“Those old videos “are what got me to watch this site for the next however many years.
I've been watching since that first video. It's so sweet you have been quoted, on a box, of a official repro, of the first game you reviewed.
...God, I've really been here since HVGN huh? You've come pretty far and really introduced me to a good amount of games from NES/SNES library in my teens back then.
Good way to end the year with this channel lol
13 mins of Derek trying not to cry from happiness. Just perfect.
If I actually had an NES I’d probably end up getting one of the reproduction carts, but as it stands I’m happy that this happened either way.
that's so cool!
i'm so happy for you, and for them re-releasing it, too!
