It amazes me when people don't get the point of videos like these. James Rolfe is an actor and film maker. ANN is a character he plays, and the videos are just ment to be funny sketches. It's not supposed to be an "accurate review" - he's not REALLY angry, and yeah it's up to you if you think he's funny because he sucks at the games or because he swears or whatever. I just don't get why people would say "He's not funny because Double Dragon is not as hard as he says it is" or "That's not cool because I like that game"
I mean, if someone made a comedy video about how much "A Link to the Past" sucks, I'd still laugh if it was funny - even though ALTTP is a great game. I know most of you get this, there's just a few whose mind don't seem to appreciate irony, sarcasm or anything humorous And for the record, I think this guy is great - though some of his videos don't really live up to the rest. |

Of course. That's why I think he's so damn funny also. Sorry I didn't point that out. I'll admit most of those games I haven't played myself, but I have played TMNT. Though I didn't think it was half bad, the way he shows of all the "worst qualities" of the game is really funny, and you can really identify with his frustration :)

Thasnk you for exposing us to this :). I was howling at Castlevania 2 and TMNT in particular. These little flaws = challenging bits in those crazy old NES games are hilarious since they're obviously more fustrating than challenging. It's also game exposure too, and I'm now tempted to check out McKids.
I wish he'd cover some of my favourites too like Mappy, or maybe something like Maniac Mansion. |
Haha, well, if you actually try, you can find flaws in almost EVERY game ever made. There has not been a perfect game to date, so there are infinite possibilities. I'm actually intrigued about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde because I didn't get it.....or at least I think I Didn't get it....that gameplay video seemed short...

His new Nightmare on Elm street is quality, IMO. I like when he does a little more stuff than just his angry review. Showing off a some of his Film skills. The premise of the Nightmare on Elm street one is executed pretty well, too. I personally don't mind his excessive swearing. I mean shit if I played as many Nintendo games as he had, I would have to digress to vulgar descriptions of nasty stuff w/ swear words too.
... "Or.. wait, Bimmy Lee?" So funny. Love the theme song too, had it stuck in my head today. |
Haha....in the latest one....
spoiler for extreme language:
Wonder where they'd go after that...... Powerglove + 8-bit music = awesome. |
The newst one is out, it's "Rocky"
BUt wait, isn't that a Master System game? OH Shi-! CLASS CHANGE! ANGERY NINTENDO NERD -> ANGERY VIDEO GAME NERD! Oh, yeah, fave. thing about ANN? When he landed the plane in Top Gun with the powergolve, that was priceless. |

I lol'd at that too, kinda gives you the impression the company invented the game for the glove rather then control pads. The mario with jump abuse was great too "I'm touching the floor and he's still jumping!" :D

He couln't land it in his reveiw of Top Gun you see, hence the look on his face. |
LOL, I love his videos. I actually beat some of those games he's ranting about a long time ago (TMNT, Castlevania 2), but he does make a good point on some of these things.
I particuarly loved his Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street sketches. That's something I probably would've done if I made a student/amateur film about games lol. Spoiler:

This guy is pretty funny. I've only seen Friday The 13th, Nightmare On Elm Street, and Castlevania. I really like the Jason one and Freddy ones there the funiest.

A randomized Angry Nintendo Nerd review generator, suprisingly accurate to his actual videos. |

The bible games review really gave me a good laugh in comparison to most of the other skit-filled reviews. I was so shocked to see that something like Super 3D Noah's Ark existed, and that these bible games seem like cheap knockoffs of other existing games. Very neat!
It's bad, but I also laugheda lot when he pointed out that you would have the most fun throwing baby Moses into the river on purpose. |
I only watched TMNT and Castlevania (kind of half assed watched), and seen the somethingawful parody. I think the somethingawful parody is actually funnier. But TMNT was good for a few chuckles. Things that are needlessly annoying are apparent in all games, really.
|
This guy is hilarious. The Castlevania 2 one is my favorite of his so far.
On a side note, I hated the Friday The 13th game. I was completely lost on how to play the game. Those houses creeped me out for some reason. |
Honestly, I don't like the Castlevania II one cause it's not exactly up to the format that ANN takes later on.
Additional Spam: Screwattack released thier top ten ANN moments of 2k6, the PowerGlove TopGun landing is not in there. |
