"It's one of the few consoles where you have to daisy chain the controllers together." It's genius, really. When you throw the controller in rage, all the other players will lose their controllers as well. That way, everybody loses.

It's honestly nice to see James still make AVGN it's a series that still is pretty high quality. I like that he continues to do new things to not become stale
The man is an internet OG with fewer scandals to his name than most. He always seems like a genuine person, and his love and knowledge of films and film history is what keeps me subbed.
Here after the discless PS5 Pro being $700 **Edit** if the console was $600 with a disc drive and was bundled with something like Astro Bot, that would have been somewhat more fair in my opinion
It was a pleasant surprise after the previous episode with Vegas. it was interesting, but I don’t have as much fun watching his cinematic episodes compared to the classic ones like this :)
Daisy chaining the controllers was IMO a pretty brilliant idea. You could connect up to four (no multi tap required), and you didn’t have to all huddle around the console.
And it is the best for battles. Because if one person loses, you throw the controller out, and the other controllers go with it. Then everyone loses lol. It is a win win for the ragers.
You can go up to eight! The cord is actually really long on 3DO controllers so your eighth person could potentially be very, very far from the TV if you wanted.
I bought the 3DO after it was heavily discounted and it was honestly worth every penny just to be able to play the only arcade-perfect home version of SSF2T. My best friend and I both had arcade-quality SNES fighting sticks (sanwa sticks + buttons), and were able to find SNES to 3DO controller adapters, which worked flawlessly. It was the perfect setup for playing what was literally the perfect version of SSF2T. We spent HUNDREDS of hours playing that game on 3DO. No regrets. :)
16:08 I went to a conference where Rebecca Heineman, the person behind the 3DO port of Doom, explained the batshit insane story behind how it came out like this. One of the funniest events I've ever gone to.
It was funny, but the game is way better than he showed. I loved it as a kid, He didnt play even a tenth of it. The controls are weird, but it plays ok. Not really fair to compare it to Resident evil.
He never googled it. I just typed in thai dyed band and I got all kinds of results for thai dyed suicide. I'm sure they just wanted to make a joke about googling the name.
3DO Doom's music was universally praised. It used a live band instead of midi music, because apparently it was faster to digitize live band music than program a custom MIDI player for the Doom port. Hilariously, the band that played the heavy metal music for this demonic, violent game was actually the producer's band from his church.
Lester was more cowardly than inept, and spends the whole game learning to face them. This guy doesn't, earning a place as a contender for Most Inept Protag So Far. Simply incredible.
@@DrSuperLuigiSeth1 Henry at least can accomplish several rather impressive things, it feels less like he's inept and more just, the world and comedy of his games is made to be extremely random and goofy. XD
I'm sad that James didn't even mention Need For Speed since that game (and the series as a whole) started out on the 3DO before making it's presence known on every gaming platform known to man.
@LIQUID FX So... you're just guessing that he did? I, for one, don't recall him ever speaking about Need for Speed. As for other youtubers, assuming that someone else did, why would someone know? Unless they watch that youtuber, that is.
I have the PlayStation version and the 3do version the games are quite different I prefer the 3do version the driving mechanics were more sim based and it had more character with the fmv cutscenes
I remember having dreams about how awesome the 3DO might be. However, I didn’t understand how economics works at that age. Companies that were late to the console race either had to pump tons of investment into R&D, not expect a huge rate of return or even accept being in the red for a while due to lack of economies of scale, or they were just awful. Panasonic did everything wrong. So did Atari, which had been out of the console war for way too long.
One game he didn't mention that I really liked for 3DO was Space Hulk. Space Hulk offered a video game experience that felt comparable to the film "Aliens". It was filled with tension, strategy and was challenging.
I definitely agree. I was actually replaying Gex on my vintage Wii U the other day; I tapped my Lottie amiibo to roll the dice, and then to do anything else I had to tap my Lottie amiibo again! It's so intuitive
@@death2denemy That question deserves an angry response. If you don't know Clint, what exactly are you doing with your life? You do know of RUclips. That's step one.
Oh man, this video feels like a return to form. Not to say his newer episodes have been bad, but man this feels like an early AVGN days episode and I love it.
Yes, definitely, I think is way better this episodes with the nerd on the couch talking and a lot of gameplay, I'm not a huge fan of the more movie like videos.
It's pretty insane how fast technology really is advancing. I'm 30 now and still remember playing classic nintendo mario and paperboy as a child. Cant imagine how gaming entertainment will look in another 30 years from now...
Was gonna say the same i feel like im back watching AVGN in the early days, also having James old vides to compare to his newer ones is pretty crazy by comparison
This played automatically after the Las Vegas episode and I thought I was watching oldschool AVGN. This is by far one of my favorites from recent memory
It's funny something so obscure as the "Where did you learn to fly"-girl is an obvious reference to a nerd like me, but if a random person were to watch this video with little or no prior knowledge of AVGN they would completely miss the reference.
It's so nice to hear AVGN still cursing up a storm. It's like the old days. Make sure to visit his sponsors so that he doesn't have to cave to RUclips censorship like literally everyone else did.
I like it when James does episodes about a console because it usually has a bit of history about the product and commentary on games that wouldn't usually get covered in a video.
Thank you so much for still doing this after all these years James, AVGN is an absolute gem of a show. I still go back to the old seasons every once in a while to ride the nostalgia train. You rock dude.
I always love the informative AVGN episodes. The Intellivision, Colecovision, Pong Console, and Atari Jaguar episodes are definitely some of the most rewatchable nerd episodes.
One of my earliest memories of playing in a arcade was playing Mad Dog McCree in a Las Vegas casino arcade while my parents were gambling. I totally forgot about that memory until at 17:45 mark in this video. As soon as I seen that, my memories of being a 5 year old playing in a acarde came rushing back to me instantly.
Was it? Some episodes have really felt out of place for me. I noticed that the nerd yelled and screamed much more often, instead of slowly building up the anger and then exploding.
Angry Videogame Nerd: "He died from slipping in a puddle?!" Me: "AH never played a Sierra adventure game haven't you? Try walking down the stairs in that"
This…. This is how you make a classic style AVGN episode. No strange cgi, as many dad jokes, or extra characters. This is the perfect AVGN we’ve all missed.

Thought I was the only one! Absolutely got vintage AVGN feels from this. M O R E!!!
Agreed! More episodes like this please.
Yea this is more like it focus on the games not the long skits.
this console made him so mad he could spit.......or say cowabunga.
Some of the parts in this episode literally made me laugh out loud. Nice work.
Hey. I love you
Sal
I was just watching you
Fancy seeing you here
Right? This one was genuinely funny and well-written.
It's pretty insane how fast technology really is advancing. I'm 30 now and still remember playing classic nintendo mario and paperboy as a child. Cant imagine how gaming entertainment will look in another 30 years from now...
Me neither and I’m 16! I can’t imagine what it’ll be like once I’m your age
Diminishing returns
PS5 will be as far as graphics will go, a zenith if you will
@amacsizbirkisi any evidence to back that take up?
30 years? we'll all be either dead or strapped into some simulation.
Im so happy to see an episode that feels the same as episides 10 years ago. Simplicity works the best.
Was gonna say the same i feel like im back watching AVGN in the early days, also having James old vides to compare to his newer ones is pretty crazy by comparison
This played automatically after the Las Vegas episode and I thought I was watching oldschool AVGN. This is by far one of my favorites from recent memory
Absolutely agree.
Absolutely, my favourite AVGN episodes are the long looks at different consoles such as the Jaguar and the Virtual Boy.
I find it crazy how in Drug Wars where you're shooting guys in the bar, no one is panicing and ducking for cover; they're all staring at you.
20:32 this girl measures you up like "You've got no chance with me dude"
I think they just didn't close the bar. Those were normal patrons just like "What, are they filming something? Should I move? Gimme a Coors, Bob!"
Nah. They’re all high on LSD and is too busy tweaking to care.
Nerd: "When the system launched, there was only one game available. Can you imagine that?"
PS5: *sweats, tugs collar*
Top Gun puking into "Where did you learn to fly" girl's mouth is a true return to form on the jokes.
It's funny something so obscure as the "Where did you learn to fly"-girl is an obvious reference to a nerd like me, but if a random person were to watch this video with little or no prior knowledge of AVGN they would completely miss the reference.
Last time I was this early Justin was still behind the couch
I miss Justin.
And no... NOT SILVERMAN
I miss Kyle
What happened to Justin? I haven’t watched these videos in years.
His name is Kyle bro. Justin is the one with the Gengar fetish.
@@blu1642 he left to persue a music career I think, pretty sure him and James are still friends though
It's so nice to hear AVGN still cursing up a storm. It's like the old days. Make sure to visit his sponsors so that he doesn't have to cave to RUclips censorship like literally everyone else did.
Yes, there’s already PLENTY of people bending over for RUclips.😑
7:40 I love this line, he used the same one when reviewing Super Putty on the CD32 episode.
I like it when James does episodes about a console because it usually has a bit of history about the product and commentary on games that wouldn't usually get covered in a video.
Thank you so much for still doing this after all these years James, AVGN is an absolute gem of a show. I still go back to the old seasons every once in a while to ride the nostalgia train. You rock dude.
totally agree. AVGN and RvB are two series I'll watch and rewatch time and again.
I remember AVGN did the episode plumbers don’t wear ties and it still one of my favorite episodes of the show
“It would be cheaper for them to slap you upside the head with a NeoGeo cartridge!”
I don’t know why, but that’s my favorite line in the whole video.
I'm getting bad 'Plumbers don't wear ties' flashbacks.
Still hard to believe that was 10 years ago
Epic game
"Plumbers don't wear ties" is a line that in my personal opinion bud stands out in the time of RUclips history :)
@@inky5574 I feel old
The nose over the No sign as a censor
"It's possibly, the slowest game of chess I've ever witnessed."
Star Wars Chess: Lol
same developer and same engine if I remember correctly
Vader is queen tho
''It's the world's slowest chess simulator.''
*Star Wars Chess for DOS has entered the server*
I have that game it's fun.
I wish people would also credit Sweet Home for Resident Evil being created.
Resident Evil started as a remake for Sweet Home.
I always love the informative AVGN episodes. The Intellivision, Colecovision, Pong Console, and Atari Jaguar episodes are definitely some of the most rewatchable nerd episodes.
One of my earliest memories of playing in a arcade was playing Mad Dog McCree in a Las Vegas casino arcade while my parents were gambling. I totally forgot about that memory until at 17:45 mark in this video. As soon as I seen that, my memories of being a 5 year old playing in a acarde came rushing back to me instantly.
Thanks for writing your own scripts again, James. This felt like a genuine classic episode.
not quite but better then it was
Was it? Some episodes have really felt out of place for me. I noticed that the nerd yelled and screamed much more often, instead of slowly building up the anger and then exploding.
Wait what? I thought all scripts were written by him.
"Throw it in the ol' Trashuoso" made me chuckle.
@@GoodSmile3 Nobody has ever seen otherwise, there's a lot of weird people out there though.
"Septic tank controls" is the most AVGN line ever.. This seemed like a old AVGN episode from 2007. Ahh the nostalgia!.
Remember that time when *Sylvester Stallone* insults you in *Demolition Man?*
"Hey, Puke Skywalker, use the force!"
James i've been watching for over a decade. I'm a truck driver now, and watching these helps me feel closer to home
14 years.
And finally.
Corpse Killer gets its due.
"A ninja named ninja. Can't get any lazier than that."
Fighting style: ninjitsu
Apparently you can.
"If Resident Evil has tank controls, Cyberia has septic tank controls"
Ahh, le mot juste.
Angry Videogame Nerd: "He died from slipping in a puddle?!"
Me: "AH never played a Sierra adventure game haven't you? Try walking down the stairs in that"
I played Space Quest II back in the day, never got very far.
"Thanks for playing King's Quest III. Next time, be more careful."
What about Leisure suit larry where you die by getting an STI 😂
This….
This is how you make a classic style AVGN episode. No strange cgi, as many dad jokes, or extra characters. This is the perfect AVGN we’ve all missed.
9:32 I can’t wait for the Angry Video Game Nerd to cover every version of Street Fighter II, like how he covered every port of Mortal Kombat.
