i was born in 93 and i think these type of games are much better than these craptastic call of duty games all call of duty is, is an online trophy to how long people can waste their time shooting other people "i do like CoD, but these games are 10000x better"

You picked friggen kung fu over zelda?

Ouch.

I'm 24, i don't remeber how old i was when i got an nes, but i do remeber beating kung fu really quick, and spending a really long time on zelda, and then there was the second quest.

They hosed you with that choice man.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

I think the box art for Zelda did not appeal to my sister at the time. This was like 1986, 87. So I did not know how kick ass Zelda would be until Jason brought it over at the next birthday party. Then I knew I had to have it.

[d2girls]

The voice over is horrible in Shenmue. I can see why you HATE this game and are so damn critical of it, you were born in the 60's, and are used to one button 'ol fashioned goodness....

But seriously, try Shenmue (or ANY game for that matter) with a more open perspective. If you don't like games like this, please, PLEASE review games you actually ENJOY! All of the other parts of the show were fun, informative and interesting, but the Shenmue segment was BORING.

Great videos by the way.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Wow, you made me sound old. I was born in 78, but lots of people seem to think I'm in my 40's anyway, so we'll move on. Thanks for the kind words about the show. I should point out that the show isn't about reviewing games we all enjoy and love. Part of what makes the show great is stirring up a little controversy here and there. I'm critical of Shenmue for many reasons, mainly that graphics do not make a game. There also has to be great gameplay, and I didn't find it here.

[CenetaurmanE52]

Not all younger gamers prefer the current generation. I'm personally a bigger fan of the SNES era and the PS1 era then the current one (though the Wii is a good console...)

[SPac316]

Well, after all these Mega Man spin off games like Star Force or ZX and Zero, It's great to see that they are going back to there roots with a 9th installment to the classic series. And it has been over 10 years since the last mega man game, so I don't see why they could not have made MM9.

But I do agree that they are trickling out too much Mega Man games, but they sell so what can we do?

[Bistol13]

I once herd that you have to be born before 1992 to enjoy the classics. Me and my freind play sega and nintendo.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Honestly, the people who were born after the 90's don't know what classic is. These are the same people who say Nintendo 64 is a vintage game console.

[SonnySunshine4]

not true! I was born (late) 1990 and I know what's considered 'classic' or 'vintage' I consider the nes to be classic, anything newer i consider moden. and btw, your review of Shenmue was poorly done. Stick to classic games reviews if you want to make a statement. As you, said 'I dont understand any of it' SO DONT MAKE ANY (Irresponsible) JUDGEMENTS!!!!!!

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

What I did was not a review of Shenmue. Pay attention. If you don't agree with what I have to say, you could always not watch. You're not doing anything with this comment but showing me the truth about the modern gaming generation.

Take it somewhere else, junior.

[SonnySunshine4]

oh im so sorry about that. Can you please tell me what exactly you were doing, when you ranted about Shenmue? also, I made a mistake about when I was born i meant to put early 1990 (November 1990 was when i was born)

[Bistol13]

im 14 and love playing old games. My favorate old console is ms-dos.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Wouldn't really call MS-Dos a console, but I get what you're sayin'. Most people your age don't even know what MS-DOS is.

[Bistol13]

I ment to say platform. I did not upgrade to windows 95 until 1997.

[genx1973]

Pac man sucks for the 2600 then again i have to admit back in the days i enjoyed pac-man back in the 2600. Hell i even enjoyed ET ON THE 2600 oK I AM LYING

[911cartoon]

this vid load freakin load dammit

[ScrewAttackEurope]

If you ever play Shenmue again, go back into Ryo's house and check the cabenit under the TV in the living room, theres a Saturn there that you can play old games on!

theres also stores later on you can buy Saturn games from.

How he owned a Saturn in 1986 is anyones guess, he should have sold the technology and become a millionaire!

Also The Wizard, for some reason always reminded me of a kids version of Rain Man.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Funny, Retroware TV said that the Wizard was like Rain Man for kids. Heh

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yup, It couldn't have ripped it off though as it was released a few months before RainMan, Though I did hear that they had one of the same writers.

[Doomguy458]

your right brotha

[NalusVee]

Great show. I still plan to try Shenmue someday, but now I expect it to be horribly slow to start.

Have you reviewed City of Heroes?

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

Heard of it, never played it. That's a PC title, right? I'll try to get it sometime down the line.

[NalusVee]

It's a PC MMO that has been out since 2004, but has seen very relevant expansions with recent patches. While not as popular as WoW, it has a strong following.

At least for now. :( People will probably run over to Champions Online or DC's game with it comes out.

[coinoptv]

Luigi!

[snake2006]

Nostalgia Critic also did a review of the Wizard.

A much better one than nerds actually.

Not that I dislike the nerd. NERD RULES.

So does this show btw.

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

I saw it. Freakin hilarious. It seems even the most intelligent of reviewers (the Retroware TV fellas) even picked on it a bit.

[KamratSvenneryd]

After this I'm getting Luigis Mansion for my cube. :D

[danytoon]

So do I... What a NICE game! I always wanted it, but I dont know why I never get the chance... I think it would be my winter's game for this year...

[Cyborcat]

I like how you bleeped out "fuck", but didn't censor the middle finger XD

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

lol just the kinda guy I am.

[danytoon]

To auto-censor or not auto-censor... That's the question... I vote for NO auto-censor anything :)

[Cyborcat]

When you're going for comedy, some stuff is funnier censored. I don't know why, it just is =P

[danytoon]

it wasnt so obscene, c'mon... :(

(please refer to Destroy the Humanoid ep06 to know what we are talking about... Sorry about the Spam Mr. Gibson :P )

[danytoon]

Very nice episode! Congratulations for your third season :)

[Cyborcat]

Heh. I like that I inadvertantly spawned a topic of conversation =P

And thanks for the plug ^.^

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

You're welcome! :)

[danytoon]

Spiderman is another great example of "nowadays ((bad)) game that it wasnt so ((bad)) in the past and brings good memories"...

[GrilledMonkeyFat]

You know, there's actually a hack out for Atari Spider-Man where you're in the black suit, and you battle the Scorpion. I might have to look at that sometime.

[hustler6t9]

shenmue is a great game, probs one of the best of all time!

[Austinwork12]

lovin' it

[KOHPelord]

Well worth the wait... really like the season 3 title graphics, too... !

[jakdin]
