Happy Video Game Nerd - Nightshade

Not only have you probably never heard of it, you've never played anything quite like it on the NES.

This video wound up running kinda long, and there were a few note worthy things I had to cut
- Nightshade is actually the spiritual prequel to Shadow Run (NOT the xbox 360 game). Many of the people who made Nightshade, went on to make Shadow Run.
- There are actually credits for "Bad Jokes", which is awesome.

Ha! Paul Kidd here - I was designer, writer and producer on that game. Glad you like it!

@patpahootie Whaaat?? Small world we live in! It might've taken some us a little while but we all appreciated your hard work. Did you work on Shadow Run too? If so thanks for that too!

@patpahootie Are you for real? I loved Nightshade. Thanks for the awesome game, it truly was something Innovative. I was so surprised to find HVGN did a review, I knew the angry videogame nerd wouldn't do it as it was a good game. Anyways thanx.

The guy who plays Nightshade seems like he's familiar with acting. Basically I'm saying for a game review on YouTube, his acting's pretty good.

@OmagaMinion Yeah, but I'm not. I should have been more specific. I meant game reviewers.

reminds me of rise of the dragon on Sega CD

[OmagaMinion]

@ProManUnitedFan if your talking about reviewers in general

than the nostalgia critic should be in there

The story of Nightshade for NES seems quite a lot like Megamind...

I liked that Shinobi game...
