Battletoads (NES) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2010
- As the Nerd prepares to review Battletoads for the NES, he finds himself joined by the "guitar guy" who's been living behind his couch, and who helps to show him why it's impossible to complete the game with two players. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 55.
Battletoads is one of the gems that Konami put out on the NES. Konami witnessed the success of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and created a franchise to mirror. The Battletoads franchise also sported action figures and an animated series, which never lived up to the hype of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The NES game debuted in 1991 and its' notoriety stemmed from it's obvious similarity to the Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles and its' incredibly difficult gameplay. The game is also playable on the Sega Genesis and had a sequel/crossover game with Double Dragon. The game possesses extremely fluid gameplay and original music and sound effects that perfectly suit its' "beat em up style." The game included a variety level designs that go back and forth between beat em up, platform, and racing. All of which (beyond the second level) are infamously difficult. The Nerd reviews this game and demonstrates it's impeccably cooperative two-player mode with his very recognizable theme song artist. The pair show us how a two-player beat em up game should be programmed as they pay homage to one of the most underrated classics from the NES library.

I love how 2:08 basically implies Kyle wasn't just the Nerd's guitar guy. He was just some guy who happened to live behind the couch and wrote music to pass the time.
I love it, so funny..😂
Reminds me of the movie Half Baked, the guy on the couch. Lol
You got it man, that was the joke
5:47
yep that was the joke thanks for pointing it out
"you take the right, I take the left"
Famous last words when playing with a friend.
Funniest catchphrase indeed. lol
Left right right up down A B left down up A!
I love that's so demanding I get so weak
Angry Cupcake Famous Last Words haha
Wait, my left or your left?
jajajajajaajajaj yess!!!!that was my childhood with a neighbor i had!!clasic words!!and the mythic ramps too!
This video depicts a VERY accurate conversation from the summer of 1991 I had with my sibling.
Wut???
Did you make your sibling live behind your couch and scold them to death when they wanted to sit with you?
Alternate ending: your sibling lived behind the couch for so long he died and became a skeleton followed by being resurrected by an NES controller
@@Howlingburd19 all because he doesn’t play your theme song
Wait are you saying your sibling used to live behind your couch, was your guitar guy that endings your theme song too?
I love how the intro transitioned right into the episode
Me too
I'm so glad others noticed. This really wasn't some intro template that could be used for other episodes, it was very much part of it (which makes me wonder how many takes there actually were lol).
@@RisingBeast00 Me four?
@@thema1998 what are you talking about?!?!
Just yesterday I actually met James and Kyle at a convention. I got them both to sign my copy of Battletoads. It seemed appropriate, after this review.
Nice
+Brainhorn That is so awesome!!!
+Brainhorn omg! I'm jealous. Grats!
Danny Parray Heh, thanks. I also got my copy of Simon's Quest, my NES controller, and my AVGN movie signed. It was a good day
And don't worry, I didn't just throw a lot of stuff down at once. I was fair and went through the line like 3 times, heh. It took hours but it was worth it.
+Brainhorn That's great, haha. I hope they come to NY sometime this year.
I think he was angrier at Kyle than he has been at any game that he's played.
I don't know about thaaaaat have you seen the tiger electronics epidsode? Although I wouldn't consider that a real game
What about at the end of the moonwalker episode?
@@bradleyc.5425 THEEEEEEE WRISTTTTT GAMMEEEEEEEE
Fax lamo😂😂😂
There's the Godzilla episode where he's angry about the time limit and screams into the pillow
"But with 2, it's virtually impossible".
Unfortunately, that line goes from funny to sad when you realise that in the NTSC version, there's a glitch in the cling winger stage where the 2 player's cling winger doesn't move, & since you have to start over when one of the toads dies, it really is impossible.
@@weinerdogs True, but thankfully, Rare Replay fixed that glitch.
Rare fixed that glitch for the Japanese Famicom release of Battletoads.
PAL version fixed that glitch
i musta not had that coz me and my cousin where able to beat the game in 2 player
I don't even know what level that is. I never made it past the motorbike thing
"There's no other couches to go behind" 😂
I like when he say you don't even use my song anymore
Watching James and Kyle dance to the pause music is fucking awesome.
Kyle should be in more reviews.
Agree he is so funny
His halfassed attempts at music is legendary but he has moved on now. You're watching history dude. Imagine that your mom had a boyfriend that was really cool back in the day but she recorded everything. Now your dad is helping her put all of those old videos online and you happen to watch one with that cool dude in it. That's kind of how this is except your dad isn't that cool and your mom has an entire series of videos about her boyfriends. Or maybe that's my mom. Whatever. You get it. Missed opportunities are missed... forever. You can take from this that if you're ever gonna take "life by the horns" then you need to become a cowboy and life needs to become a rodeo bull itching to kick your balls up into your girl scrotem. Maybe I'm overdoing this but still... my point is valid. Hindsight has a huge advantage and sometimes that advantage is that your worthless nerd dad mated with your hot mom and even though your mom realized her mistake you got to exist from the deal! But your mom regrets ever having let your dad put his....oh God. I'm sorry. I swear I'm working this out. I apologize.
@@CynHicks I'm sensing some family problems where some one is gaslighted for their parents troubles
@@dylanvalorfall I have no clue how this got here. I was not responding to this thread. Also, it was actually pretty damned funny what I wrote. Just makes no sense in this context. Nothing to do with this video either. Edit - and who liked my comment. Wth? Lol...
Cyn Hicks what IS the context?!?
"I PLAY THE GAME AND YOU.... GET UR ASS BACK BEHIND THE FUCKING COUCH!!!" lmao
back when AVGN was really angry
jdamore71 he knows. He was quoting Justin
Explain, please
Randall Kincaid-Shatto Who cares?
It would take a nine year old to get pissed over internet slang and abbreviations. Get a life.
He’s a little more angry, nowadays!
It’s genuinely impressive how well the humor of the AVGN ages. Even after all of these years, they’re still hilarious!
I feel so sad for Guitar guy, He is welcome behind my couch, it is warm with a radiator and he can keep the cat company when it decides to nap there under the radiator.
As long as he makes sure to play the theme song as much as possible.!
"He's the angriest gamer you ever heard..."
"YOU BET YOUR ASS!"
xD
Already have... didnt end well-shitting through a tube never makes a good side convo
1:37 the most angriest AVGN yell (imo)
Not at all
You can hear the mic breaking.
yeah you're right
That's how my mum yells at me :(
The Zelda cdi "its fucking bullshit" scream is the loudest and funniest to me
This is now my favorite episode. I love the interactions and when James encourages Kyle to curse properly.
I’ve been seeing this guy in my recommended since like, 2007. I just recently checked him out, and it’s so awesomely funny, I’ve been missing out!😁
James and Kyle's chemistry with each other is completely unmatched.
3:45-3:57.; There needs to be a gif. of The Angry Video Game Nerd & Kyle Justin on the couch.
KJ Setser Have you? Could I have the link please?
Dancing, right?
.gif*
tthomaselli2 Google “avgn battletoads gif”. There are literally 100s of that head dance lol
666th like
This guy should be in more reviews. It's nice for James to have someone to talk to who he isn't punching.
yeah.. kinda feel sorry for him.. its always james and mike, never this guy
HankusTheTankus333 Kyle is just acting haha lol
HankusTheTankus333 James has asked Kyle before, but Kyle is too busy to be in more reviews.
minecraft200 But did you ever notice how this is the only game review he's in?
KWG did you ever watch ikari warriors? the AVGN episode?
god james is so amazingly passionate in these older episodes i love it, just listen to that screaming in the beginning
“There are no other couches to go behind!” Profound reasoning.
1:24 guitar guy was about to laugh lol
His name is Kyle btw
It's so hilarious that you get points by hitting your teammate.
11 years later and it’s still the funniest episode in my opinion - clearly James and Kyle are having so much fun here
“There are no other couches to go behind!”
I swear the beat from the pause screen is the catchiest beat ever and the face that the AVGN makes at the 3:55 mark is hilarious!!
I really wanted to hug Kyle in this episode. Poor guy.
*hugs monitor*
***** so did i...i feel bad for him, and considering the skeleton behind the couch in AVGN Adventures, and probbably future episodes, the guitar guy/Kyle died behind that couch...poor guy...
The Megaman don't be sad. Check out avgn Ikari Warriors. That should cheer you up.
+nick jones A-B-B-A Saves!
Alasdair Chi Yep! Wait till you listen to some great ABBA songs like "Dancing Queen", "Mamma Mia", "Fernando" and many other songs from the 1970's, or watch the movie "Mammia Mia" with Meryl Streep.
that couch montage is priceless
I'm contacting you from the future. How's it going lol?
@@method0123I’m contacting you from the future. He’s dead.
This one had serious “Clerks” vibes. AWESOME!
Buncha savages in this game.
I love how AVGN yells at the guitar guy here.
1:37 is the best
AVGN never fails to make me laugh.
You! Get your ASS BACK behind the FUCKING COUCH!!!
SkeloDevil601 I don’t ever get to do anything! You don’t even use my song that much anymore.
Why are you behind my Damn couch anyways
There are no other couches to go behind!
He sounded genuinely angry
There's just something so hilarious about how furious the Nerd is for some reason that "the guitar guy" stuck around. He's positively outraged by it lol
No matter how many times I watch it, I always burst out laughing at the pause menu scene at 3:47
kiddo
Epic Nerd Face xD
+CRISTIAN IMMENSO no, its DITTO.
Yeah, that face he's making kills me too- it's kinda toad-ish!
I would make that my ringtone
Perhaps my favourite AVGN intro ever, you can tell how much fun they're having at end 😂
1:42 "There are NO OTHER COUCHES to go behind!" was Gold.
" there are no other couches to go behind"-guitar guy 2010
2008 this was originally posted then
Holy fuck I'm old
“Fuck your couch!”
- Rick James, bitches
I demand more of the Guitar guy appearance xD
Saad Al Ameri he was also in the ikari warriors episode
Keiläs Philler good to know.. gonna watch it now .. thx ^^
+kwakdreams And he also played Spider-Man in the Spider-Man episode.
+Kwakdreams nah that was mike
+PhilZe Krill (PhilZeKrill) no. that was Kyle. Not Mike.
3:45 "catchy beat"
6:31 That’s the most satisfying ”FUCK THAT!” I’ve ever heard.
6:30
3:45 - 3:56 = Coolest...Pausing....EVER!! :)
Ixapter. There’s a ten hour version
Ixapter
that song just like techno mid 80
That this dancing moment a gif!
I have to dance like them every time
I know right.
I feel bad for the couch guy
He's like a guitar hobo who needs to live there
They sound like two brothers here
6:46 may be one of my favourite moments in the whole series
Oh my God dude, I almost forgot HOW seriousssssss that pause menu beat was!
The nerd is so angry in this video
his yelling is so funny he yells so much in this one. hilarious video
Random Stuff With Patrick its his trademark
I guess it didn't help when the guy behind the couch keep killing his toad. "You just killed me!" "Sorry!"
AVGM
I don’t know why he’s so angry
Came back here because a new Battletoads is coming out soon. :)
Wow what
Huh, didn't know
I bet James hasn't seen the Battletoads Gamestop prank calls.
Always great when Kyle is in the episodes
My favorite Battletoad is Leonardo!
dank meme :^)
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TOADS
+TGE MY FUCKING FAVORITE TURTLE IS GENITAL WARTS
+TGE kermit the frog is mine
My favorite turtle is crazy frog.
I watch AVGN everyday,. No matter how much time passes or how many times I've seen an episode. I never grow tired of it.
Same , all of his old episodes are timeless
My last two braincells during a test I didn't study for: 3:49
Studied*
@@SourChicken1856 no
@@SourChicken1856 wrong
@@SourChicken1856 Ooof, that's embarrasing..
@@SourChicken1856 ya fucked up ya dumbass
"THERE ARE NO OTHER COUCHES TO GO BEHIND!!" Perfect delivery. Always cracks me up!
This episode is proof that the avgn doesn't need to play bad games. They just need something that irks that isn't neccesarily bad, like in this case it would be the multiplayer and the high difficulty
***** agreed. its retarded playing with a friend considering you can actually FUCK everything up. AND when ONE player dies its GG? nah.
***** you can't even beat the game on multiplayer there is a glitch on the level clinger-winger when the 2nd player always dies instantly
Well my evidence is in the name. The angry video game nerd. The game just needs to make him angry.
5:51 sorry lmao and he still yelling 😂
Really love this whole couch gag and montage of him living behind it.
I absolutely love their chemistry - this and Ikari Warriors are two of my favorite episodes!!
Bring back Kyle!! :)
Aaaa whats up doc
and spiderman!
So apparently, when the Nerd relocated to the Nerd Room a few episodes ago, Guitar Guy somehow moved with him.
Adam Poole
That's a really good theory.
+SethBlizzard Guitar Guy is AVHNs' Ted. Wherever AVGN goes Guitar Guy isn't too far behind to mooch off on him. A flea that is embedded into a dog. LOL
Maybe he held onto the couch as the AVGN moved.
10 years later, and still chilling and watching some AVGN.
3:43 I laughed so hard Because I started dancing, then when it showed the clip of them dancing I was doing the same dance as Justin... the fuck is wrong with me
He came in like a wrecking ball...
Foreshadowing future song
The outtakes make this much better now, Im watching it now and damn... how many takes they have to do to make it good.
Also they have to edit it, James laugh a lot xD
I know! They shouldn't have to STAND for it!
theFrizzleFry I didn't know his voice could crack that hard, damn.
September 2019 and still one of the my favorite episodes. Kyle is a bit camera shy but does fine, and their interactions are genuine and funny. Also love the outtakes video 😊 This one is a gem.
10 years later... In my recommendation list.
"I play the game and you....get your ASS back behind the fucking couch!" Classic Nerd.
For fun yet true, I played the Japanese version today, used warps as well so, not everything will be mentioned.
US Version:
Start with 3 lives.
Normal Platforming (If you know what i mean on this)
Turbo Tunnel is Harder
Clinger Winger is Faster
Bosses Have Default HP.
Second Player has to press start to join in.
Intruder Excluder is Harder
Tera Tubes is Harder
3 Continues
If You Pause, There is a Beat
JP Version
Start with 5 lives
Easier Platforming, game is easier than the US Version.
All levels mentioned on the US Version are easier.
Bosses have nerfed HP.
You get the option to select 1 or 2 players before the game is started.
5 Continues
Clinger Winger is Slower
Turbo Tunnel's hazards are altered and easier to avoid, way easier actually.
If You Pause, There isn't a Beat
PAL Version:
Same Difficulty as the US Version
Clinger Winger Co-op Glitch Patched
Altered Soundtrack
Edit 1/8/2015 - Added PAL
Can confirm that it is 5 continues in JP.
oxDestroxo Thanks for confirmation
why is having a beat a bad thing?
DerpyDosh When did i say it was a bad thing? I'm comparing the 2 versions not saying that one is better
Sword Slinger oh, ok. my bad
This is still one of my all-time favorite episodes. I loved it when Kyle Justin got involved.
That last course in the hover jet part was pretty insane. I beat that when I was a kid, I felt like the king of the world.
Battletoads was one of the funnest 2 player games NES had. It was extremely hard, though, and definitely frustrating at times. I can't think of another game that was so consistently frustrating yet that I absolutely love. They straddled a fine line there.
Absolutely. It's the hardest game ever, but it's a fun kind of hard. No matter how hard it is, whith each try I get better snd better. I want to best it some day!
I wonder if anyone has ever had a perfect run on Battletoads? (no hits, no lives lost, no retries, perfect through the entire game.)
That is literally impossible though, lol.
Ik
+Blah Playhard So glad it was included with Rare Replay, because now my brother and I can beat the shit out of each other (figuratively and literally XD) like we did years ago.
Hidden like bar? Did people not like this video?
Unsure
I didn't notice the hidden like bar until I saw your comment.
I remember people disliking the review before, Deadly Towers, because it was all fan jokes that were hit or miss. And some disliked this one because they thought Kyle as a guest wasn't as funny.
Kyle was a great part of this episode imo.
It never used to be hidden, what happened?
This is easily one of the best episodes ever, he screams SO much he sounds angry for real
2:06 Kyle writes that down for the theme song!
This episode was actually pretty heart warming
Now that we know the guitar guy's origin, who's the drummer?
Mao I want to know that too
Cameron LaPage What drummer?
Cameron LaPage
Oh, that must be the guy (or one of his friends) who made the remix. It;s hard to pin down exactly who it was since it's not the official version.
+SenorAdventure Pleb you serious?
+Taaviees The Jokuman No, its Shit Pickle or the Nerdy Turd. Or that skunk whos ass got eaten.
"You barely use my song anymore..." That hurts.
Hey James are you gonna review the new Battletoads with Kyle again?
He will probably 20 years from now
It's too new.
Kyle isn't working in Cinemassacre anymore, the last project he participated was the Sega accessories video from 2016, and his last appearance in front of the camera was Ikari warriors from 2013. As sad as it is, there won't be another "guitar guy" AVGN episode
AVGN as we knew it is gone, only a soulless syndicate remains.
@@tt128556 it's called growing up and being a man. A rare happening in the gaming community
who else came back to watch this video after watching the outtakes from it? xD
Yep! one of my favorite episodes
hell yeah
Most definitely!
Only because RUclips suggested it after watching.
And after this I need to hear "Where did the hair go?"
Why is the like/dislike bar missing?
No idea.
Outtakes got 6k vs 70
MikeMonday 17k vs 300
And this too should be around 25~50k likes!
Maybe by accident?
I know it would sound some stupid ass idea, but its probably bc he though people would get upset with him for yelling to kille, even tho its obviously a montage. but give me a more reasonable explanation than that.
Because BattleToads is game loved by many and that would make an impact on the like dislike ratio
ps. i assume its a mistake. Simple as that. I haven't seen any negative Nerd yet! In.. idk how many years
2:42 when your dog has your wallet in his mouth 🐕
I love how this video still has the Like and Dislike titles on the buttons. Was this video forgotten in the depths of YT?
It blows my mind that Rare hasn't exploited the everloving shit out of this franchise. If they released another Battletoads game, I wouldn't even think; I wouldn't read reviews; I wouldn't watch playthroughs. I'd just smash my wallet into my laptop/console.
Microsoft, you own them, why are you leaving money on the table like that???
verdatum Yeah
verdatum nice you admit to being such a sheep for a game
You're a loser.
I agree. I'd blindly pick it up probably
Honestly, considering all the hype Rash got in Killer Instinct
"there are no other couches to go behind" favorite line from this entire series.
The most AVGN video of all AVGN videos.
Thank you James Rolfe and people who worked on these videos. You made my childhood.
Everytime I have a bad day I come back to the Nerd, this is hilarious.
"that's game over for you not for me!!"
"Uhh, I dunno!"
James this is your AVGN character at its finest. Your yelling is so realistic and on point...and hilarious! Good work man...long time fan and I'll keep viewing.
I love how he asks who the guitar guy is like he was unaware of him the entire time.
That Screwattack opening guitar riff brings back some serious memories. Long live Handsome Tom!!!!
Easily one of the funniest AVGN videos.
We had a special dance for the pause music back in the day too.
I think everyone did. Lol
Matthew Davis
UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ CH CH CH!!!!!!!!!
Zenjedi99v2 BACH BACH BACH!!! LOL
Words cannot describe how flawlessly this episode captures playing co op with a friend. People talk about games like Mario Party and Monopoly ending friendships, but those do not compare to any co op sidescroller
Words do not describe how perfectly accurate and hilarious this episode is
Its not a couch. Its a futon.
+Daniel Ryan It's a couch.
+Alexander James it's a fouch
Daniel Ryan Technically, yes.
NEEEEERRRDDD
It's not just a couch
It's the FUCKING couch
"How are we supposed to work as a team when you keep killing me?"
THAT SENTENCE IS AWESOME.
1:37 when your Mom tries to get you to move out
Do me
Just watched this episode again, still one of the best ever!!!
It's cool how the opening segues into the episode.
The only thing I remembered after renting Battletoads when I was a kid was the little pause song. It stuck in my head for almost 30 years...lol
"That's game over for you! Not for me!" - Truth
possibly the best chemistry james has ever had with any character in the whole AVGN series. Big up KJ.
I think Kyle may well be the best actor out of the group really, a lot of his facial expressions are convincing and when he knows hes not doing too well, he cleverly hides his face one way or another, His vocals are great too during the gameplay. 1:41-2:29 Gameplay: 3:55
Oh yeah. I love the Ikari Warriors episode. "Where did their hair go?" Hilarious!
I love this episode!! I remember thinking "Does the Nerd character know about the guy who sings his intro music??" Here, he FINALLY meets him face to face... and they somewhat bond over Battletoads!! EPIC!!
6:37 referenced in the freddy krueger episode too
Their banter during the third stage is identical to what everyone said who ever grew up playing that.
I died when he said the extra names for the toads.😂😂😂
